Due 4-2-06 - can I chat here too?

Hi! I am due 4-2-06 with #3! DD came on her edd, and DS was a week early - so there's a pretty good chance this little one will decide on a March birthday.

I am just so thrilled to be pg again - DH and I had been debating (okay - I wanted another one - he wasn't sure) for nearly 2 years now and this pg happened on the first try! So it's really a gift!

I have only told my sister and mom. My sister is thrilled - my mom was less than.

I am only 4 1/2 weeks right now - but boy does my bosy remember being pg before! I actually lost 3 pounds in the last 3 weeks - but my clothes are a lot tighter! My biggest problem is that I know I will have to go to maternity clothes soon (probably by 8 weeks!) and people will figure this out. I don't even see my mw until 9-7!

I currently work p/t evenings - and at this point plan on returning to work after a 6-month maternity leave. But I really didn't want people knowing I was pg until a little later - but I know the 2 women I work with at night are going to figure things out really soon. So I guess I better start prepping to infom my boss (who I never see because he works days).

It's great to be on these boards and read all the great posts - it's such a help to hear other mamas going through the same things!

Thanks for the welcome!

I said the same thign about 3 kids - I'd like that but I'd see how I felt after 2. I did a lot of debating about it - especially when Ryan was younger - but in my heart I know I do want to have 3. Good luck to you!!!

I think I want four, but we agree at least two.

It'll be interesting to see which month you'll deliver in. In the meantime, I think it'll be twice as fun to belong to two different due date clubs.

Thanks - it will be fun to see what happens with this baby!

I remember when I was talking with my doula before #2 was born. She said "I love 2nd babies - they almost always come ontime or early and they usually bring short, easy labors. Third babies are the tough ones - they all have a mind of their own and you never know what to expect!"

So I don't know what this peanut will do!
