Oh Kristina, just wanted to add CONGRATS on your baby boy!

What's an UC?

[BensMom]

UC = Unassisted Childbirth

Well, Dh finally spoke with the CEO of the company and it was a FREAKING FOURTH INTERVIEW!!!! I swear, they are dragging this decision making process out longer than a 2 hr American Idol elimination episode!

And the CEO's cell phone died during the interview, so he is going to call DH back tomorrow. I think I am going to die of stress from all of this. It doesnt help that I am so close to quitting my job i can taste it...and everything is on hold until we know what is going on with the job.

And poor DH. Each time he talks to these people, he wants the job more and more.

Well, I haven't been online that much this week except to look up recipie ideas for dinner. I have found myself completely immersed in this thing called being a stay at home mom especially with my toddler teething his incisors. He gets a little on the clingy/needy side when he teethes, which is understandable but at times much more than I can bear. Dh is gone from 7:30am to the same time pm. He comes home for lunch about an hour and a half each afternoon, which is really nice. I'm very, very lonely, because I haven't really met anyone around here yet. We are just about settled into our new house/life, and I feel very content as far as that goes. I've been trying to meet up with some AP moms in the area but all our plans have been foiled as yet. I really need to find some kids for ds to play with because my energy is totally waning. I have found myself turning to (gasp) videos (like Baby Einstein and educational stuff) and allowing distractions that I never would really allow on a regular basis otherwise just to give myself a break. I could honestly take a three hour nap each afternoon, that's how exhausted I am.
Dh has been really sweet, so appreciative of all I have been doing around the house. And the second trimester libido seems to have set into full swing as well... amazing, as tired as I am, I'm so horny I have to wake dh up in the middle of the night!!! He honestly doesn't mind... maybe that's why HE's been so tired lately :LOL I've told him to take advantage of it because you know what it's like that last trimester when getting intimate involves... well, let's just say the image of a wheelbarrow comes to mind. :LOL Not to mention after the baby. It took me a long time for everything to settle back into place and not hurt anymore (but I guess long labors with babies in your pelvis for hours on end tend to do that).
Anyway, other than being lonely, tired, sexy, and then grouchy at the end of the day everything is really good here.
Oh, and I'm somewhere around 20 weeks and I finally, finally am feeling the baby move on a regular basis. I laid down one day with my hand on my belly and purposely focuse on only the baby and pow, she kicked me! And from then on I've felt her/him.

Hi all,

Hope you don't mind if I join in- I posted a couple of times in this due date club early on, then retreated into early pregnancy introspectiveness for several months.

I feel like I'm "coming out" as a pregnant woman over the past couple of weeks, and finally feeling pregnant. I braved the maternity store and bought myself some pants that I can sit in without needing to unbutton And baby is super-active, especially after meals. I sometimes lie down on the couch after dinner to let my dh feel all of the crazy kicking.

I've been lurking a bit, so feel like I know some of you. Looking forward to getting to know you better in the months to come.

Hello ladies - Just wanted to thank you all again for letting me vent the other day. I feel much better, and made it through my Disneyland excursion with minimal fuss. I was suprised that my bump was so sore the next day from all the walking (I guess?) I spent most of the day in bed, but that's okay, I was so tired. I am getting somewhat impatient to feel the baby move on a more regular basis. I think it helps me focus on the baby more, instead of the HG. I am 17 1/2 weeks and counting. That's all for now, my dd wants her dinner.
