Re: Mommy-to-be Tuesday!

  • How many weeks? 19w1d

    How are you feeling? Horrible. I have such horrible gas yesterday, that I didn't even realize it was gas because it is so painful. I called the doc, and they told me it was intestinal based on what I told them. It's still horrible today. I can't bend, and it hurts to walk. I'm trying to drink as much water as I can, but it's not helping. I've never had it last this long before, and I've had bowel issues before PG (I once had an x-ray for pain that ended up being constipation Embarrassed)

    What are you craving? Mac n' cheese.

    What is grossing you out? The food I've been making Sad

    Is your H treating you any differently than he did before you were pregnant? NO! It's kind of pissing me off, too. Sometimes I just yell at him, "I'm pregnant, what the eff do you want from me!!!???" He's pretty damn lucky he's still getting laid at the same consistency as he was before I got KU.

    Have you thought about birth control after baby?  How would you feel about having 2under2? No birth control for me. We're going to use pull and pray or condoms until at least 2013..after that, we'll see what happens. Obviously, I'm ok with 2under2, or hell, close to 2 under 1. DH and all of his 8 siblings (except for a few) are all 14-16 months apart.

    What are you going to do for childcare when your LO arrives - SAH, daycare, stick them in a crate with some food and whiskey? SIL will watch LO M-W, and then DH will either keep T/F free, or only book things after I get out of work. Besides, I only work 189 days of the year.

    Do you play music for baby in your belly?  Anything that really makes them move? I really want to, but those damn headphones are so freaking expensive.

    Do you plan on teaching your kid(s) any other languages? hmmm not necessarily.

    What book are you most excited to read to your babe? Anything Eric Carle or Tommy DePaulo

    PIP YOUR BUMP!!

    ugh no bump right now.

  • can I add that we're back from the anatomy scan, and now there is an envelope on our fridge with the sex written in it????

    I'm going to drop it off to the baker tomorrow. I keep trying not to think about it, but I just want to open it! I seriously don't know how we haven't already.

    What makes it even worse is that the tech said that she knew what it was before she even asked us if we wanted to know, and she had no hesitation at all.

     

    OMG!

  • How many weeks? 15! Time is flying!

    How are you feeling? Better this week, I haven't been sick. Nausea has been mild, and my appetite seems to be returning with avengeance. 

    What are you craving? Still carby stuff. Mac and cheese, tacos, and pizza always sound good to me. 

    What is grossing you out? Still chicken, but I can tolerate it enough to eat it. Seafood still smells awful to me. 

    Is your H treating you any differently than he did before you were pregnant? We joke that I make him sound saintly so he's trying to be a bad husband and say stuff like "No! Get it yourself! Your legs aren't broken!" If he's up and I ask him to get a glass of water. He's a doofus. He's really just been very sweet and attentive. 

    Have you thought about birth control after baby?  How would you feel about having 2under2? We want our first close to or out of diapers before we have another. So we'll start trying again maybe around this LO's 2nd birthday. 

    What are you going to do for childcare when your LO arrives - SAH, daycare, stick them in a crate with some food and whiskey? Stay at home as long as possible. If I have to come back to work, it'll be after 12 weeks. We'll look for an at home daycare that doesn't require newborns to be there full-time, since DH has 2 weekdays off. 

    Do you play music for baby in your belly?  Anything that really makes them move? No, but I sing and crank up the music in the car and in the apartment when I'm just hanging out or cleaning. 

    Do you plan on teaching your kid(s) any other languages? Probably not. Maybe a little sign language. 

    What book are you most excited to read to your babe? Dr. Seuss, Shel Silverstein, and Robert McCloskey (Make Way for Ducklings, One Morning in Maine).

    PIP YOUR BUMP!! Pics on my bloggy!

  • How many weeks? 33, OMG I'm 33 weeks

    How are you feeling? awful lol My back is soo sore

    What are you craving? fruit. tons and tons of apples and pineapple

    What is grossing you out? anything really meaty -- burgers, steak

    Is your H treating you any differently than he did before you were pregnant? Now that I'm massive he is. He helps me put shoes on and climb out of bed :)

    Have you thought about birth control after baby?  How would you feel about having 2under2? I haven't. I'm torn on an IUD and pull n pray. I refuse to do hormonal pills again. We would actually prefer 2u2 but it all depends on when he deploys next year. I WILL NOT be pregnant by myself with a 10 month old. No sir.

    What are you going to do for childcare when your LO arrives - SAH, daycare, stick them in a crate with some food and whiskey? SAH, and when I leave put them in the puppy crate. lol

    Do you play music for baby in your belly?  Anything that really makes them move? No music, but she loves listening to H sing. And hates the flashlight we shine on her.

    Do you plan on teaching your kid(s) any other languages? Yup, Spanish and German

    What book are you most excited to read to your babe? goodnight moon and farmer brown. our faves from childhood

    Around 20 weeks I had super bad constipation too. It took lots of fiber and colace. I hope it gets better

Sometimes I just yell at him, "I'm pregnant, what the eff do you want from me!!!???" He's pretty damn lucky he's still getting laid at the same consistency as he was before I got KU.

    HA! MH hasn't gotten any since I've been pregnant. Some of that is beyond my control (Dr ordered pelvic rest) but nope. I am so not in the mood.
