Pregnancy 2011 - April

Rachel – I’m going to stop complaining about all the rain I’m getting now. I’ll take rain over snow any day.

Brittony – We have an FHA loan too. We did the house and the wedding at the same time, so it was impossible for us to put down any more than 3%. I think the down payment is what stops most people from buying a house. Most of my friends that are renting pay just as much if not more in rent as we do for our mortgage. I have no personal experience with hemorrhoids but my husband had them a few months ago. He got a cream from the pharmacy and they cleared right up.

Bethe/Megan – I’m so excited for the both of you! I think (well I hope, since I’ve never been through before) that we’ll naturally know what to do once labor starts. Although I have to admit I’m already terrified of it.

Kacy – I’m so sorry you’re dealing with this. I think you need to sit down and talk to him about this. Getting nervous and worried is a normal reaction to such a huge change, but bringing up abortion is extreme. I hope you two can talk about it and get everything resolved.

Sheri – I love your new pic, you have a beautiful family!

Anne – 10 pounds at 23 weeks is great! I’m almost there and I’m a good 9 weeks behind you. And from what I can tell from your picture it’s all belly, so hopefully when your LO is born the weight will be gone. That’s great about your student. I wish I was able to find a teaching job but it think I’ve been out of it for to long now.

Danielle – one of my friends went into the hospital on bed rest at 20 weeks. Her twins were deliver full term and completely healthy at 39 weeks. Anything is possible, and I will keep her in my prayers

Kaymd – welcome! You picture is amazing, congratulations on your weigh loss and pregnancy.

Pmaria – you’re not alone, I’ve been stressed about money for a while. I’d love to be a SAHM, but it’s not in the cards for us.

I have a bridal shower on Sunday and I’m super frustrated because I can’t find anything to wear that doesn’t make me look pudgy. I’m going to be seeing family that I haven’t seen in months and I really wanted to look like a cute pregnant lady. I think my mistake was taking DH shopping me with. He’s wonderful, but can’t give me an honest opinion (although I can’t really blame him with how hormonal I’ve been) according to him everything I tried of “looks great”. :huh: Uhhh…I can see the mirror and it doesn’t. I’m going to try again tomorrow with my mom, she’s not one to sugar coat how I look. :laugh:

Hey ladies - I wanted to stop in and say hello!

AnnElise - sorry you aren't feeling well!

Ron - When are you putting up a belly pic?

Heather - I wanted to say how I'm thinking of you and your Hubby right now, with all the Budget crap going on with the government. My thoughts are with you guys right now!

So, we just found out yesterday that my husband's cousin and his wife are expecting as well! This is their second.

They have the same last name as us, and in a tiny town like where we live there are going to be a lot of little Dundas babies running around!

Anyways- the weird thing is that she is due August 6th. I am due August 12th. And they only just told people. They did the same thing with their first- told people in the family in July and the baby was born in early November. So she was 20-25 weeks + when they shared, and right now she is 23 weeks and they just shared with the family.

I told people like over 2 months ago when I was 10 weeks. It makes me feel... stupid for telling people so soon when she was ahead of me and never shared. I know sharing news like a baby is a very personal choice, but I just don't get it.

Hubby is out of town all weekend playing in a hockey tourney, so I rented 4 movies, and have my best friend coming over today to sew. I am going to work on my baby quilt. Then tomorrow I am meeting a friend for brunch. Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Congrats Bethe! looking forward to your birth story (if you're comfortable to share) and pics!

Bumping for later!

I just found out I'm preggers with our first and am going to need all the insight I can get!

I went this afternoon to BRU for their "baby shower". It was so lame. At least they could have had cake, LOL. I got home though, they called that I had won a $25 gift card. Wish they sold sheepkins for babies b/c that is all I really need.

I'm going to a baby shower for a friend tomorrow, so I went to BRU to shop for it and stumbled into their "baby shower". I thought the same thing you did, where's the cake?? :laugh:

Congrats on winning the gift card!!

My sister sister- in- law waits pretty long to tell people too. Don't worry about it. People just choose to do it differently! Don't feel stupid, I told people at 10 weeks too!

So today I had my first unwelcomed comment on my size. My friend and I went to the restaraunt in town, it was the woman who owns it, who I know but not well.

So she noticed my belly and asked if there was a baby on the way, told her yes, she asked me my due date. Then she said "woah, big baby in there". She then continued to tell me about her 10lbs 8oz baby and how she didn't even attempt at vaginal delivery, blah blah blah.

Anyways, I couldn't help but be a little bit offended by the "woah, big baby in there, Not to mention I am totally self concious about my size, worried my baby will be too big to deliver vaginally, worried my weight will effect my stamina and my ability to even do it, worried in general. And that comment certainly didn't help!
