Re: PG/Mom Check-In
We're doing alright. I have an appointment today at 11, so I can finally ask my million questions. The baby seems like she's dropped really, really low in the past week or so, and I'm pretty sure I was having BH contractions last night, so that has me a little nervous. I'm hoping it's totally normal and I'm just being a paranoid pregnant lady.
I also have to find a doctor for DH today. He's been having a mild asthma attack (we think) since last night, so we need to get him in somewhere so he can breathe again.
And if someone can teach me how to PIP, I could do bump pictures. But I'm pretty computer illiterate and I don't have a smartphone, if that matters.
still cant believe the due date is this month! hitting the 9 month milestone feels great- lots to do left in the nursery but im hopeful it will get done before this little one makes his or her appearance!! im soooo excited to find out what we are having... and who it will look like
the baby has developed quite the fiesty personality and it is getting STRONG! my belly can morph into the weirdest shapes when it stretches out and the kicks to the ribs almost feel like it can break them!
lots and lots of braxton hicks... maybe like 1 an hr at least- but they still dont hurt, i do feel them getting stronger though!
heres a 36 week belly pic!
i just learned the PIP too... i go to an image hosting site like tinypic.com and then when you upload it it will give you a url, and thats what you type into the image URL space when you click the little insert/edit image button when typing a post (the button has a picture of a tree).. then you might have to reset the dimensions to make it small enough for the post.. hth!
Agreed!! You look amazing!
Kaley, you look fantastic!
Nothing new to report here - I'm 15 weeks now and all is well so far. Had a doctor's appt last week and got to hear the heartbeat again, which is always a good time.
I will be scheduling our anatomy scan for around Nov. 1, give or a take a week, and I can hardly wait!
No bump pictures for me just yet. I'm still just kind of looking like I've been hitting the desserts a little too hard lately!

Kennedy is doing amazing and almost 16 pounds! She is sitting and standing on her own, but not crawling. I'm okay with that. She's so much fun to play with and I love doing things with her. But more than anything I love her huge smiles and laughs. She can feed herself with a spoon, though it's not neat. She loves exploring new foods.
Here's a few recent pics.
You look great!!
Are you on my FB? I can't remember...
I posted a 15 week picture of my bump on there yesterday, and it is quite a bump! I have actually had people ask me already if it's twins LoL!! But it's not, so I guess that means I need to stop eating so much
I am 15 weeks, 3 days today. I go on Friday for my next ultrasound, to hopefully find out the gender. I!AM!SO!EXCITED!!!! I am a little concerned that it's gonna be too early, but either way, I am excited to see the baby again.
I am feeling pretty good. Everyone said the 2nd trimester would be better, but I think that I am more tired then ever. And still not so much motivation...I really should be cleaning my house right now.
I added you on FB!
I agree with being more tired than ever. Maybe not MORE, but definitely not better. I have no idea how I made it through this afternoon at work and I passed out COLD as soon as I sat my butt on the train home. Soooo tired!
Can't wait to hear about your u/s!

Oh my gosh! SO stinkin cute! I'ev been looking at your siggy picture for so long you forget that these little ones grow up : )
thank you so much!! my belly has managed stay stretchmark free but all my weight gain is in my upper thighs and butt and i havent been so lucky avoiding marks/cellulite there... boo! but hopeful they will fade and i can start exercising soon after the birth- at least its an easily covered area for now!
and jennifer, kennedy is the most precious thing ever!!!

Are you using coco butter or any special lotion? I bought some last week and I've been trying to use it nightly to prevent stretch marks. I have no clue if it will really help though....
Did you see my bump picture?
I havent gotten around taking a baby bump photo. I will soon.
I just got back the results from my NT Scan and everything came back normal. It was so nice seeing our little one moving so much there.
Today I am 13 weeks.
Yes! You have a super cute bump! You look great!
Okay, you all talked me into it. Here's me this morning at 15 weeks:

OMG, you ladies look great with your bellies. TFS! And Jennifer, Kennedy is ridiculously cute
As for this mommy, things are good with my little 3-year-old. Tantrums aside, I really love this age. I swear there's nothing better in this world than a full-on little girl laugh, followed by her tiny hands wrapping around my neck to give me a hug while her small voice says "I love you, Mommy." Good stuff.
My silly Lily is almost 4.
i have both cocoa butter and the burts bees belly butter... i dont think its helping but im still growing at exponential proportions lol- if it doesnt start to fade once the baby is born i might try bio oil or the mederma for stretchmarks.. idk if anything works but im willing to try!!! the bad part is though that im not consistent with the use... my work hrs and everything i just do it when i remember (probably why they appeared in the 1st place...) but i never put anything on my butt until i got them.. didnt think i needed too! i thought for sure id find stretch marks on my belly before my butt lol
I'm baaaaack!
We took our last babymoon this week to my hometown in northern NY for a wedding and to visit family. We had a wonderful time!! While we were gone we had our house tiled and when we got home we had a lot of dust to clean off the walls and moving everything back in. I love my tile so much it brings a tear to my eye!!! These 2 guys worked so hard and paid such close attention to detail it really paid off! Now time to get the laminate on the nursery floor and get it painted, while I still have lots of energy! If anyone ever needs help from handy men with any home renovations please let me give you their name, they were amazing! They also did our bathroom, AAAAHHHH I'm so happy with it!!!! Oh yeah, I guess you probably want a bump pic. I'm really starting to pop out!
Thanks! You have a little bump too! But it looks like your pants still fit, while most of mine, without the belly band, do not!
I wasn't sure what a NT scan was, but I knew that I didn't have one done, so I googled it...I don't understand why my doctor wouldn't have offered this to me?!
Yeah, that's how I've been.....I use the cocoa butter sometimes, but normally by the time I get out of the shower I am so tired I can hardly get my pj's on!
