Junebug, Miranda, & Laurie you had me cracking up over the m/s and peeing stories! LOL - I hate to laugh at your expense, but thanks for the story! ;o)

Lotus I am happy to hear your doctor said that will work itself out!! Just do yourself a favor and don’t do what I do … TONS of research on the internet about it. It will only get your worried again for NO reason! )

I did call my OB and they said they think I am not drinking enough water and that is why my round ligament pain is the way it is. So tons more water for me (I was already drinking enough I thought!) which means tons more trips to the bathroom! Uuuggg - hehe My major concern was all the books and internet said that round ligament pain should only last a few minutes at the most and nothing about only on one side, but I feel okay about it now. Mostly due to your ladies advice and help! Thank you ;o)

Lisa I can not wait to feel true movements! I keep waiting for it! Hehe

LAURIE !!!! That is SUCH a cute belly shot. What a great figure you have too! I find my Jr. Body Pillow is wonderful too, but I have problems rolling over as well.

Hannah I have had the sore tailbone more and more the past few days!

News flash ladies --- I officially can wear tight cute little shirts and look pregnant and not just like I have a fat belly!! hehe I literally woke up about 3 days ago and my belly was much larger! I have now gained 9 pounds YIKES!!!!

Mustlovedogs – congratulations and I love the name!!!!

[Junebug]

Must Love- Congrats on the girl!! my dad wanted to name me Desiree when my mom was pg with me...love the meaning, it is so fitting!

Lotus- Glad that you stopped spotting and all is well. Come to think of it, when I had my u/s last week, they said my placenta was sitting on my cervix as well...hmmm... Congrats on the girl

Lacy- good to know that H2O helps round ligament pain, I am going to drink up, too.

Alee- good luck tomorrow! Can't wait to hear your results!

BTW, Laurie- just looked at your pic again...do you usually take a bath with you swimsuit on?? tee hee!!

[lace7725]

So I was wondering have any of you noticed how being pregnant causes lots of strangers to stare at you when out and about? hehe

[dipscool]

Must love, congrats on finding out it's a girl. Love the name and the pics. so precious.

Lotus, glad the spotting stopped. you had me worried. congrats on finding out it's a girl! so, DH, is adjusting to the news?

June, you're so funny. yes, it looks as if I'm having a bath in my swimsuit. I was having a bath in my bday suit, but thought you all would appreciate me in some clothing of some kind. I did take practice shots of me in the buff if you prefer....

I'm really sorry about your friend's m/c. It's my biggest fear. DH is so concerned that I make it to 25 wks at least. I told him that we're going all the way....36 wks!

Yes, I have noticed people staring esp. when I'm wearing a 'normal' t-shirt that is pulled tightly over my belly. Had some fat guy drop his lower jaw when he saw my belly as I was passing. I was confused because his belly was bigger than mine! Maybe it's because my belly is only in front and you can't really tell until you look at how my belly button is all sticking out or unless I turn to the side.

Thanks for the 'fit' comments. I don't feel fit at all. don't think i look it either. I'm trying to fight my stretch marks on my bottom. It's in the 'covered' area of a swimsuit, so there's that saving grace. I keep putting my whole arsenal of cosmetics products on to keep them from spreading.

I've found one way to help my skin from feeling too dry. After a hot shower, I put moisturizing oil all over and it seems to keep the skin soft all day long. I put it on my nipple areas too because they were cracking at one point in time. I know, TMI!!!

I put a pic of my body pillow on the other thread and I'll put it here, too.

DH is thinking of sleeping in the guest room as I'm snoring so loudly and taking up all the space!

[Lotus]

2 of the pics we received today. We're so excited!!

[meremere]

Goodness I was off line for 3 days and look at what goes on! Congradulations on all the GIRLS!!!
I have decided to turn the other cheek with my MIL/FIL. They called the house the other day at 7am, knowing I am not working I would be sleeping, they wanted DH. I told her he was outside scraping the ice off his car ( still have not cleaned out the garage for both cars to fit in since the move!) She ASKED me to go get him! I was so sweet, I did ( humph!) and 2 minutes later he brought me the phone and said she wanted to talk to me! IT WAS 7:05 am!!! 20 minutes later we hung up, after she informed me it was all a misunderstanding and they love the name Jason Logan and hope we keep it and do not choose a family name! HUMPH!!! I am not going to play games with her, so I told her we were never planning on changing the name it has always been Jason and nothing anyone was going to say was changing that. Then I appologized and told her I really was very sleepy and was going back to bed!
needless to say I think we are just going to drop the baby name issue and wait for the next one!

[hannah01]

lotus and mustlovedogs, congrats on your girls!!!! that is so wonderful! i love your photos ... how beautiful. i just got a huge smile on my face seeing these after a long day at work. yay!!

june i'm really sorry about your friend's m/c. that is so sad. my best friend is pregnant right now too and i know what a special experience that is to share - so i can't even imagine how sad this is for you both.

amber and miranda good luck at your appointments tomorrow! can't wait to hear good news from you both.

deepa, i was just out in virginia/d.c. and omg it is COLD! i hope you are bundling up out there.

well i had an ob appt today and didn't get any pics - but the doctor measured my fundal height ... and get this, my uterus is measuring at 26 weeks. gulp. i have felt from the beginning that this is going to be a big boy, and today my doctor finally had to agree with me. lol. thank goodness i'm having a c-section! i hope all the rest of your fabulous pregnant girls are doing well.

[MustLoveDogs]

Lotus- Congratulations on the baby girl news. I was glad to hear that the Dr found out a reason for your spotting. At least, they can take preventive measures and put you on bed rest if you need to be. By the way, love the pics.

June-Somehow I missed the part of your post about your friend m/c. I’m very sorry.

Lacy-It is good to know that you have RL pain, and it is not the appendix as you thought. I didn’t know that water helps to lessen the pain. I’m going to drink up as well. About the stares, yes, I get a lot of those…especially from guys.

Amber & Miranda- Let us know about your u/s today. Good Luck and I can’t wait to hear about it and see pics.

Laurie- That body pillow looks sooo dreamy. I think I understand your DH completely, my poor DH is having less and less space in our bed as time goes by.

Hannah-WOW 26 weeks, a big baby boy indeed. It is good thing that you are having a C-section instead of a VD. I can’t even imagine.

Amybbc, Brettsbabe, Meremere- Thank you for the good wishes. I hope you all are doing fine today.

Deepa-I also get weird comments about my belly. I do what you do; I usually smile and forget about them.

I received a phone call from one of my RE’s nurses yesterday. She was just checking on how the pregnancy was doing, and she said that she was going to call back sometime close to my due date. I thought that was kind of sweet.
Anyway, all June ladies-Have a Wonderful Day!

[Junebug]

So, it seemed like we were having mostly girls in June, but I went back and looked...and it looks like we might actaully be having more boys at this point.

5 GIRLS: Lotus, MustLove, Sarah, Amy, June

6 BOYS: Kris, Meredith, Sarah, Christy (2), and Jen M

Of course, Miranda and Amber are hoping to find out today

Let me know if I missed anyone....

[GRITS]

Hi Girls,
June, I had to laugh when I read your pee post! luckily I do not throw up much, but sneezing has definitely become an issue! I am sorry about your friend's m/c That is hard. Be sure to give her lots of hugs. How good of you to go back and look. I thought there were more girls too. Mine will stay a secret though. We are waiting.....

Lisa, a lot of the movements I feel are very low. I am just starting to get feelings up toward my belly button

Laurie, your belly is so cute! I am definitely rooting for 36 weeks too! And I have a great belly oil I bought at the natural food store near me that i rub on twice a day that helps tremendously with the dry and itchy skin, and hopefully will keep the stretch marks at bay.

Daysi, Congrats on your baby girl! How touching that you DH picked such a great name. Great u/s pics!

Katie, Congrats on your girl too! I am glad the spotting was nothing to worry about. I had low lying placenta too. I actually bled pretty good one evening after sex. I was scared, but the placenta has moved up and all is well now. I had it with my dd early on too. Love the u/s pictures! Thanks for sharing

Lacy, I did the same thing, one day I woke up and it was sticking out! I love it! I am not convinced I look pg yet, but I hope so. I have gained 8lbs so far. i htink if someone made the comment to me in Wal-Mart about holding my belly up I would have been annoyed. I am not sure why people think that something so personal should become public domain. I had the first person touch my belly the other day.....grrrr.

Kristen, that is great you have such a healthy boy in there!

[Alee78]

Hi ladies!!! Well we got back from the ultrasound!! We are having a baby GIRL!!! The ultrasound went great, our baby girl does not have cleft lip and palate..woohoo, everything is perfect, 2 arms, 2 hands, 2 legs, 2 feet, 2kidneys, spinal cord intact.... I am just so relieved.... wow... I finally feel like I can breath, and actually enjoy the rest of my pregnancy!!!!

Can't wait to hear from Miranda!! Hope everything went pefect.

Lotus- Love the u/s pics!! How adorable!!!

I hope everyone is having a great day!! I have to start thinking of names we had one for a boy, no clue what it will be now!!

[lace7725]

It is truly amazing to me what people feel inclined to tell me! Like how painful the birth will be and how I am a first time mom and know nothing! I am like "SHUT UP - did I ask you???" hehe - but i dont say that. I do notice guys look more than women but only when I wear a tight shirt too like Laurie said. My husband says he thinks they (men) think it is sexy for a woman to be pregnant and thin. I LOVE him for that!! ... the thin part - so sweet as I do NOT feel thin at ALL!!!! hehe I am lucky to have a husband who finds pregnant women really sexy.

My movements are low too .... I have not felt a true kick yet though. I keep waiting for it!

Laurie your belly button is sticking out? That is so cute! Hey have you seen those little "bandaids" to put over your belly button when wearing tight shirts to stop the pop out from showing? If you can not find them in Singapore I am sure a regular band aid would work, but if you ever wanted something sent from the states to there I could do that for ya it needed! Laurie your pillow is WAY bigger than mine. That would be very hard to turn with at night ... hehe

hannah explain to me what that means? Does that mean your due date have been moved up 5 weeks or so???? Or just that your are measure at 26 weeks?

On another note ... one strange new symptom I seem to have is VERY errect nipples. Good greif they are like new pencil erasers! sorry for the detailed version of that! LOL

Does anyone self tan while pregnant. I did a bunch of research and then asked both OB's what they thought and both said it is okay after 1st trimester.

Happy Hump Day ladies! Or should I say Happy Bump Day! -- I am a serious cheese ball - I know!
