February Due Dates Unite! Week of June 21-28 - Page 6

post #101 of 176
ekblad, i know how you feel. my dh gets snippy with me too saying you do this but you can't do that. and complaining that i go to bed to early, want to sleep etc etc. if they could only go through it once to know how it feels.

i always wonder how women go through this multiple times. the last time i got pg i was thinking how glad thi would be the last time because i felt so bad. little did i know. hats off to you! hopefully the sickies will go by quickly so we can enjoy being pregnant to its fullest!

I would laugh to see my dh go through this for one day much less nine months 6 times! He wouldn't make it. I'm trying to be as "tough" as I can. I figure there's no point in making him miserable as well. Thank goodness I have you ladies and my mama tribe to complain to!

Shannon,
Welcome back! I hope you had a fabulous time! How are you feeling? How was the honeymoon?

Amy, Mama2m&M, and Ekblad, I'm so sorry you are feeling sick. Even I have been getting some this week, especially with the thing where nothing sounds good to eat. Cooking is hard, because I make it, and then I don't want it anymore.

Still feeling tired, and it's hard for me. I get really exhausted by 8, and that makes me grouchy because I really want to be awake so I can see my dd and dh, watch a little TV, unwind a bit from my hectic day, etc. But it is like I just think that the only nice place in the world is my bed, and I can't get there fast enough. Dh is is being very understanding, but I know it is hard for him when I don't get home until 5 and then I'm very little help and off to bed by 8:30. It is like he is almost single parenting our daughter right now. : (

On the plus side, I'm still so happy and excited about this pregnancy, and things seem to be going well. I have my first OB appointment on Monday, but after we saw the heartbeat this last Monday, I told quite a few more people. It seems real now.

And i'm really excited because a good friend of mine from work offered to lend me a bunch of maternity clothes! Yay! The ones i have from last time are too casual for my new job, so I was worried about spending a fortune on work clothes. Now it looks like I won't have to. The only problem is that her blouses may not fit too well, because she is blessed with normal-size to smallish breasts, and mine are big. They just get huge when I'm pregnant, it is kind of depressing. I'm only 5 feet tall, and slim, and then I have these ridiculous enormous porn-star boobs when I'm expecting. Well, it is a small price to pay I guess.

Lesleyluu-

i know what you mean about porn star boobs. mine get the same, except unlike the porn star ones, mine are droopy and the only comfortable bras seem to emphasize the droopiness.

I can't wait to buy cute maternity clothes. Last time I think I got maybe 4 items because we were so poor saving every penny to have my dd at a birthing center (which didn't work out anyways). The only thing is that I need plus sized maternity clothes and the only store here that sells them (unless I am mistaken) is "Motherhood".
I am not sleeping well either which is probably why I need to take a nap almost every day. I get up like clockwork at 4:45am every morning to pee and it takes sooooo long for me to get back to sleep.
As for morning sickness I'm not counting my chickens, but it hasn't happened yet, and I am really happy. Maybe that means I'm having a boy this time. Although I do know a few people with boys who did have it.

Huh? Do tell, do tell - m/s is gender-preferential? This is a fun new tidbit I've never heard of...

I haven't had any m/s to speak of...some queasiness in waves, but very mild...

Hello
Today my dh let me sleep in. I didn't wake up until 9:00. It was so nice. My ds had a good solid sleep too. I woke at 2:00 am and I tossed for at least a hour or more. I still have no energy : I only have 5 &a half weeks left. I hope. Wow doesn't that seem impossible. That I'm over half way thru my first trimester!

My and are all piling up so much. I keep telling myself that I will clean and cook dinner tonight. I better get started because I know it'll take me all day.

Have a good day everyone

I have been queasy, but not actually sick. This is my fifth pregnancy (two miscarriages) and the first time I have ever had any sickness. I was actually not expecting it. With me the sickness, or lack thereof, did not forcast my baby's gender, one girl, one boy.

When I get pregnant I have a very high libido at the begnning. I had it for a few days this time and as soon as I found out I was pg, it was like it disappeared. Is that odd?

Ds is weaning himself, he had already quit except for once, right before bed. Now he doesn't even want it. I think the milk tastes funny. He starts to nurse, then gets upset and quits. I wasn't quite ready for that. It makes me sad.

Hey everybody-Lesley the honeymoon actually isn't over yet!!! How pathetic am I to come here on my honeymoom???? If I wasn't a pregnant virgin bride, I could probably think of other things to do!! :
I'm not nearly as sick here as I was at home but I think much of it has to do with the fact that it's not nearly as hot here--and there is NO humidity--I have to admit though that part of me is worried by the fact that I'm not near death
The honeymoon is going well, we didn't camp but stayed in a few lovely inns. The one on wednesday night was a bit of a waste of money though, I took a room with a mountain view, etc, but by the time we got there I was sooooo tired and we ended up eating and going to bed, then we left early in the morning. They also had an amazing restaurant there, I started ordering rack of lamb for dinner but had to cancel it when the bread that tasted amazing didn't sit well--so I had soup (cream of broccoli and asparagus) and salad and then they brought me a plate of rice. But Steve loved his steak in red wine peppercorn sauce!!
We've run into alot of weird Americans--all heavy George Bush supporters--this is odd to me as Canadians really don't discuss politics especially with strangers so when the second American asked me what I think of George after only 5 minutes of conversation, I was rather taken aback. The second guy was especially a dork, he said he wanted my honest opinion as a Canadian--I told him I thought George was an inarticulate boob who needed either better speech writers or a big roll of duct tape. He started going on about Georges Harvard education and the fact that he's started 2 companies--I responded with the fact that I've started 3 companies but that didn't qualify me to run a country,and have a University of Guelph education in science and agriculture, but I can speak clearly!!! Anyway, it was kind of a bitch cause later while we were sitting at the hottub--Steve in, my legs in. These people showed up so we had to leave before we would have liked to.
Last night we came back to watch my girlfriends 4 yr old play soccer--what a blast--Kianna is the oldest but the tiniest so these kids are between 3 and 4, how cute, a bunch of times they just kept going off the field with the ball cause they had it rolling well. Great coaches, no score was kept, but lots of teaching them to work as a team. So fun.
So we are in Calgary until Sunday morning and then we head home. I have an U/S booked for Monday afternoon, so we will hope for the best.

It's exciting to hear everyone's developments.

I went to my first OB visit yesterday and everything is looking like it's supposed to. She confirmed my due date of 2/17. So, it's starting to sink in.

In the mornings, I'm not wanting the types of food I usually enjoy (eggs, bagels with lots o' cream cheese, breakfast burritos), but no actual m/s yet. I am just SO TIRED.

We're driving across the state tomorrow. I may actually ask my husband to drive, which is rare.

Hellooooooo Shannon! Yes, you are a dork for hanging out with us on your honeymoon! Glad to hear you're feeling ok, and it sounds like this trip is just what the doctor ordered (well, actually, she may have begged you to stay home...)!

Hang in there, everybody!

I have such a full day here at work, and I'm tired....Is it time for our group nap yet?
post #112 of 176
My m/s never determined the sex of my babies. I'm sick as a dog everytime, :LOL However, I have heard that lots of m/s means girl and little to no m/s means boy. Who knows, though.

I got the house pretty much cleaned. I had lots of little helpers! Anyway, I feel so blah. I don't want to eat anything. I have that awful taste in my mouth. Sorry to complain! Can't wait to get past this part!

Having trouble sleeping - go to bed about midnight and wake at about 8am. Not enough sleep. Dh is away for 4 days so MIL and mom have brought me food and helped. I hate to eat fast food but I can't cook at all right now - makes me so sick. Last night I had 2 Arby's Roast Beef and it was sooooooooooo good!

I am feeling better though. Have been drinking nutritional shakes when I feel really bad and Chamomille tea. Both have really helped. I can't even look at a vegetable though and I usually love them! Weird!

Got to run...the house is too quiet...must be something wrong....

Oh, I am having my second planned c-section. Can't have vaginal births but I have known that since I was 12 so I am ok with it. Anyone else having a c-birth or doing a VBAC? Just curious.
post #115 of 176
Well, I've got my first prenatal appt lined up with our midwife - July 20 I'll be right around 10 weeks then, so should be pretty awesome.

And my doc has got me standing orders for monthly thyroid bloodwork. She's so excited. Told her yesterday.

I always have horrible m/s that lasts throughout most of my pregnancy and I have three boys so... that pretty much shoots that theory all to Hell! :LOL

You've pretty much described me perfectly! I can't remember why this happens although I know I have read that it is normal.

I am currently at work freeezing my butt off, I am dying for a nap and I have a wicked craving for those Red Dollar candies... haven't had those in years!

My hands/arms/feet fall asleep at night when I'm sleeping. Does anyone else get that? I remember getting it when I was pg before too.
post #120 of 176
Yep - my hands and arms are forever falling asleep. Then it wakes me up b/c it hurts!
