Wow! We've all been slackers the past few days, here, huh? I know I've been a non-poster, but I;ve been reading to stay caught up as much as possible lately. For some reason, i've been unmotivated to type....
YYYM- YAY for belly looking bigger!! I'm sure you know about the early pregnancy bloat, I had it BAD, but it went away around 11 weeks or so, and at that point, I still only looked like I ate one too many turkeys at Thanksgiving. Not the "showing" that would give anything away. Now, you're quite a bit tiny-er than I, so, perhaps it might give it away, and I can understand your apprehension about that. Hope the pukeys have stayed away for you a little longer than your pg with DD.
Lis- maybe it's good that you're staying put. Moving can be costly sometimes, and now you can just "re-allocate" that expenditure to Caleb's room design!! And, I hope your first CB Class went well! Was it so fun and exciting?!
Lauren, thanks for sharing more pics of your little girl- adorable! Can't believe how old she is
already. time flies.
Kelly- WOW!! Those numbers are GREAT! And, you're officially in April, your U/S month, and only 8 days away from it now! YIPPEE!



Hope you're feeling great, and it's really sinking in.
Tear- I was stalking you on the BSL Proper. I am SO sorry that AF showed, I was certain this was it with the IUI. I can somehow always be optimistic for you. Like you said, you
can be super fertile (and are)after the procedure, just not "first time" fertile. thinking of you often, and can't can't can't wait for you to be over here posting your own updates.

i think you and
Nanette might get your IUI dust together, and you two can be the most chill ladies in your DDC together.
Lyndzies- Happy 2nd Tri, girlie! Hope you are still feeling great, and start to feel better. I know "they" say that the 2nd tri is a great time, but seriously, I was not prepared for how good I would feel! It's like a high almost. Feeling baby move, having energy, getting the beginnings of hard core nesting setting in... and just feeling a general sense of well-being. I hope it's the same for you

It's real now, right?!
Mae- so glad you're feeing better- you havent had an easy time in the illness department, have you?!
To those of you I missed, so sorry.

nothin' but love!
AFM: for some reason, my deoderant has stopped working. I am not sweating any more than usual or anything- but the crystal is just ineffective. Though strangely, only at work it seems. all weekend it was fine despite being out in the sun. in the climate controlled office, not so much. great.

Might have to go back to the traditional kind this summer

also- feeling great! as I said to Lyndzies, this 2nd tri stuff is no joke. I still feel emotionally unbalanced at times, but it seems to be at least more predictable! not super tired anymore, and that's a huge bonus!
My sister could have her babies any day now, she's been in hosp for 3 weeks now, and it's wearing on her. she's such a trooper- every day is another day those LOs bake in there. still, I can't wait to meet them! My cousin is having a baby today by scheduled repeat C-section.

I wish we were closer so I could feel comfortable pushing my views on her

ha!! but seriously, I just feel like she was duped into missing out on what I expect will be a great experience.
and finally, I got 2 of the books that I was really excited to start reading- Hypnobirthing, and Birthing from Within. Can't wait to start reading, but have to finish the BFing book I borrowed from the birth ctr before I have to return it on Friday!
How is everyone else doing?
Check in with is May due date mamas!!!!!!
