Lol!!! The rabbit was facing away from us so we didn't see any of the afterbirth stuff. By the time she turned back around the kits were cleaned up. All we really saw was her bending to clean and her back arching, prolly pushing or contractions. It was over in minutes. Nah no special lighting she usually just edits the pics, which I love. I wore a pair of regular jeans that I left unbuttoned and my belly band thing as a tube top. I changed into a pair of swim shorts, that's all. Didn't do anything fancy- no make up, no hairdo, it was very informal and relaxed in our tiny living rm. dd1 was half naked at 1.5 yrs old running around. I actually forgot it was pic day so I was half asleep and house was a mess. I most certainly looked hideous lol

God, I wish that cat's labor was over in minutes. I mean.. it was probably like fifteen minutes max but it felt like a lifetime! Especially since we had this little area set up for when she delivers and instead of using the little space we set up, she was walking around the apartment as the kittens are falling out of her, making these horrible noises and like falling down to the ground.. I felt bad for her! It was traumatizing to watch hahah.

Now you got me wanting to get maternity pics lol. I'd love to just have one good one of me and SO standing together with our hands on my belly. I dunno if he'd be up for it though lol he's not one for taking pictures.

oh dear yeah that would be terrible to watch!! lol typical animal you make them a space and they do their own thing, esp. cats! Aww that would be adorable- SO and you with hands on belly. I'm sure he would be ok with a few pictures like that though. My hubby hates his pic taken but he was all lovey dovey so he forgot it. Lots of ideas to keep him or you outta the shot- name blocks, ribbons, etc. You can kinda see from what I put up there's hardly any face shots. I was so puffy lol

Oh snap, sorry I didn't comment on the pics.. I'm at work right now and for some reason they never show up on our computers. I'll have to look at em when I get home. I didn't even realize you posted them lol whoooops.

lol it's ok I just ETA'd them. ooo work sounds fun   my girls are half naked from lunch and having their own mosh pit in the kitchen smh.

Ugh, no it's definitely not fun lol. I work at a credit union and this is like the one site they don't have blocked here so I'm able to chat with people all day lol but it's been crazy slow this week so it's just been dragging. On top of that I'm in the drive through right now and I HATE the drive through. It's like people think they can be extra rude to you because they're not talking to you face to face (we have little cameras so we can see them and talk to them). I like my job, it's definitely the best job I've had so far, I just hate dealing with people.  

lol And that sounds like fun! I can't wait til I have my LO running around. I'm definitely gonna enjoy spending my maternity leave time with her, even though it'll mostly be her crying, sleeping and pooping lmao.

lol that does sound disturbing. I hate being so sensitive to stuff, I forgot what it was the other day that majorly icked me out but I normally can handle it just fine. But yeah thanks ladies, I'm still pretty grateful for my current situation so we're gonna be just fine. I think those pictures look great by the way. It's pretty neat the way they do those belly shots.

Yeah I wish my hubs would take a picture with my belly but he hates being in photos. Bah well. I'll just spend more money on another 4d session instead of doing the maternity pics. Better make my appointment now.

Oh, I can't WAIT for my 4D ultrasound and my SO won't shut up about it hahah, he's super excited too. Only two more weeks! Hopefully baby girl cooperates and will show us her face lol. My last pregnancy LO always had his hands over his face and never let us get a good shot of him. I'ma drink something with sugar and caffeine before I go so she'll be wired and moving around lol.
I never realized how good of a deal I get at my 4D place until I heard what people on here are paying for theirs.. it's crazy!  

Had an appt yesterday and got surprised with my glucose test as soon as they got me into the room. It wasn't too bad, but I already felt a little sick because I hadn't had anything to eat yet and I had to chug the drink down within 5 minutes, which wasn't easy. On the bright side, I found out little Jareth is 2 lbs exactly and I even got to see his adorable face in the ultrasound ^-^

Hey mamas, I had my glucose test today and passed with flying colors, and on top of that I've only gained 2 lbs this last month so that makes 9 lbs gained total so far!! Im really trying hard to eat healthy since I started out on the heavier side pre pregnancy. I now go to the Dr every 2 weeks   yay!! Anyone else having a weird craving for ice? I eat ice non stop all day and drs said as long as I don't eat things that isn't food he isn't concerned.

Yes ur prolly lacking iron. And be careful chewing can damage ur teeth not to mention if u bite ur tongue or side of mouth. I have a cup of ice at my side all day long to munch on. But I am also anemic. And by cup i mean the insanely large travel cups they use in the hosp to monitor ur input/output of urine/fluids. I prefer the gas stations ice machine so hubby picks me up a big gulp cup full of ice, screw the drink lol. To help w the craving I've switched to ice cream bars and fruit Popsicles. I also have upped my intake of spinach and it seems to help w the craving.

Okay, now that I'm home I can finally see the pics lol I love them! The one with the bow is too cute and the one with him kissing your belly is adorable.  

Man I'm really feeling paranoid. I had a super stressful day today because of the whole insurance thing and scrambling to cancel everything I had going at my current hospital and doctor treatments to find a new one that takes my insurance and is coordinated with the new hospital and accepting patients sooner than later. Ugh. So ever since I left the house to do paperwork I've been having super bad cramps in my upper stomach as well as my RLP I guess. I just can't help but freak out thinking something could be wrong. I did listen to her heartbeat and she sounds fine. She wasn't moving as much today but she's starting to move around more now.

I don't think it helps that I watched an actual video on a c-section and saw all the gory details. Wow. It was pretty traumatizing.

Sorry this is so completely off you ladies' topic but, I was wondering has anyone tried the red cabbage gender test? I bought one today to try it and I wanted to find out how legitimate it is? $2 compared to $100 can't be bad right?

Never heard of it but I will say that I did ALL the gender prediction with this one and they ALL said BOY.. SHE is definitely NOT a boy! lol So..not sure how well they work.
