re: ~*Official May 2013 Due Date Thread*~

I am a cranky bitch. Wish May was here already. Meh.
That is all.

Quoting Two Princesses:" I am a cranky bitch. Wish May was here already. Meh. That is all."

I do in a way but then again i'm not ready LOL! Her room isn't even half way done =/

Quoting Bow Making Mama♥:" I do in a way but then again i'm not ready LOL! Her room isn't even half way done =/ "

Yeah I feel similarly. Although I'm over the rollercoster of pregnancy, I don't have the stuff she needs ready yet.
Just a grouchy Guss I guess.

This is how I feel too. Im uncomfortable and always tired as well as constantly feeling sick but I don't have the house ready for little man yet so I'm grateful I have a few months left.

23 weeks today! Yay!  




and this was 22 weeks

I hope you feel better soon!

We've got a few names on the list but nothing even close to being a firm choice yet.

Oh well... I've got time, right?!

lol you have a lot of time yet.
If baby had been a boy me and my fiance still might be bickering over a name.

<sigh>

DH and DS had a gastro bug on Sat (both are now OK). DD's now down for the count (likely viral but could be UTI related, won't have urine culture back until Wed)

Pray I stay healthy...I've got training all week that I absolutely cannot miss. I'm already exhausted (started Sunday) but don't feel sick

Ug I had a stomach bug this week.
Keeping my fingers crossed that you won't get it.

Hey all. I popped in when we first got our BFPs, but couldn't quite cope with everyone's happy-hopeful attitudes when I was so panicked and worried in the beginning, so I cut out again to save my own sanity.

Now, I'm 21 weeks and I think I'm getting close to the point where I can feel like I can start to hope and make plans.

For those not familiar with me, I'm P, I have a 3.5 year old son and lost a little boy last year at 23 weeks due to incompetent cervix. I have a cerclage placed and take progesterone injections weekly. My doc and I are both happy with what's happening with my cervix right now (minimal shortening, still have over 5cm left, which is fantastic!) and the progesterone is doing great at calming (although not stopping) my contractions. I was having several strong ones a day before and now get 1-2 weak ones, so we're thinking I might just make it to 30+ weeks. I am on light-duty, but not bed rest at this point and am ready to start planning (at least on paper) for this little girl to get here.

We're doing my shower next month (so that we can be sure I'm not on bed rest) and are going to set up her nursery after that---because worry is starting to be balanced out by my obsessive compulsive need to plan and organize.  

How's everyone else? How are the babies?

Being that this is my first baby, is it normal to gain more weight? especially since i was a small thing before i got pregnant?

Quoting Jennifer Moreland:" Being that this is my first baby, is it normal to gain more weight? especially since i was a small thing before i got pregnant?"

More weight? What do you mean by "more"?
They recommend 25-35lbs (less if you're overweight, a little more if you're under weight---not petite, under weight for your height) regardless of whether its your first or 5th pregnancy.

I'm 21 weeks and have gained maybe 5lbs (my battery in my scale died and I keep forgetting to change it).

Before i was pregnant, i was 122 at 5'7, i am now 152, and i don't over eat and watch what i eat... lol
