Julie- I totally know how you feel! I have been sleeping terribly for the past while, last night was especially bad because our bedroom door is not shutting properly, and the cat has been busting in numerous times all night… and continuing to make a bunch of noise. Not to mention having to pee/being uncomfortable. Have you tried to take naps when you get home from work? That is what I did today and I am feeling a lot better right now. Also please let us know how your homemade product endeavours go!

Remah- Welcome! That must be hard, having had the boys so easily and then struggling now. Baby dust coming your way!

Anne- So glad your power is back! Yay! How is the neighbourhood coming?

Peanut- I hope you are feeling better, emotional days suck! And it is hard to get everything you want to done… I find I just get too tired. Try making a list and focusing on just one thing at a time.

Lynn- That’s great you got so much done, but it sucks you overdid it. It’s so easy to do these days eh? I had a few days like that near easter when I was hosting dinner… spent all day on my feet/cleaning etc.

Pmaria- Good for you on the bike!! That’s great.

Brittony- What about a pregnancy pillow? It is like a big C shape that goes around you. I find though that I often wake up on my back, but with half my body on the pillow so I am at an angle. At first I really didn’t like the pillow, but I am finding now that I absolutely need it to get a decent sleep.

Mel- That is great news about figuring out a plan in regards to your son, one less thing to worry about right? And you must be having preggo brain syndrome…I have been losing things too. And forgetting what I am talking about mid sentence!

Jlara- Hopefully soon!

Rfrick- You are totally right, we are going to have to connect and be partners or someting after these babies come! It's nice that we are due close together and that we will have a similar amount of weight to lose.

AFM- Been away for a couple days attending first aid training for work. I feel SO CRAPPY lately, mostly about myself. Every time I see myself in the mirror I shudder. I have never been this big ever in my life, and I have probably gained 20-25lbs. (which, for a person who started pregnancy obese, is not good). I am so mad at myself for not working harder to lose weight before I got pregnant. I miss being able to walk… or even jog. I miss having clothes that actually fit… I miss having the motivation to try and eat right… I have been eating so badly lately. An emotional response to how I am feeling I guess.

It’s at the point I wish I didn’t have to go out in public and have people see me. But that doesn’t really work because I have to go to work/get groceries/get the mail… go to the ballet on Saturday. Sorry to be such a downer, maybe I am just having an emotional day, but I feel so upset and I just keep eating and getting bigger and bigger and feeling worse and worse. Also not sleeping well, so being sleep deprived does not help. Thanks all for your suggestions re: clothes and the shipping stuff too.

Hey ladies!
Sorry, not joining you yet. :grumble:

@ Jalara - *hugs* I'm sorry.

Me neither.
AF came today. :grumble: again :brokenheart:

I'll be introducing myself to your new thread Jalara. I looked for it, but couldn't remember it's name. searched for TTC. doh. see you there.
I'll still keep up with things here. I miss you ladies, and want to keep in touch with you and your progress. *hugs*

Rachel-glad your massage was great! I want to have one of those. I go to the chiropractor occassionally to help get the kinks out, but I feel a massage works just as well for me. Hmmm, maybe I'll treat myself for Mother's Day...

Had my glucose screening yesterday, glad to have that done and over with.

Hope you all have a great rest of the week:flowerforyou:

Rachel- Don't worry. A lot of us are going through what you are. Like people keep telling me- we will be there for each other to kick our butts into shape post baby. It may take a little while, but you'll get there. Try not to be too hard on yourself (I should take my own advice). You don't want to look back on your pregnancy and wish you had enjoyed it more.

My silly rant.....

A friend of mine is one week further along than me, and we are both first time moms. It is mind boggling how different our pregnancy experiences have been thus far. I know how irritating the "know it all" pregnant person (I work with one) and mom can be, but I am so sick of her ignorance that I could puke.... I don't want to be that person to her, but damn woman, don't be scared to pick up a book or hit up google, just keep calling your 87 year old Dr. who seems almost as ignorant as you.

A few days ago she texts me: "just left the dr, measuring 40 cm, start goin evry week now, next wk we talk about my birth plan. he also said that from what he can feel by pushing on my stomach that evan will come any day now."

Really.....? He can tell from pushing on your stomach that you are going to have your baby any day? That doesn't sound at all totally effing ridiculous to you??

You are 34 weeks pregnant.....I know this is your first baby and you are super excited, but you need the chill the eff out. She just wants to have him SO BAD!

She posted on FB this morning: "had 2 contrax in the last hr and my back is killing me! ugh, heading to labor and delivery, fingers crossed today is the day i get to meet my angel"

Good grief....

/rant

Aw, Lynn, you're so patient. :laugh: Poor girl. 2 contractions in an hour and she's off to L&D?! And WHY would she want her baby to be premature again? :huh:

Of course I'm impatient & I joke that I'm ready for her now, but I also want her fully baked & not in the hospital for weeks and weeks after she's born.

Julie - I love your new pic, you look beautiful and pregnant. I agree with Brittony, some people may think they are complimenting you by saying that you don't look pregnant.

Brittony - I also have 2 more showers so I'm holding off on buying anything until I know exactly what we still need. I just didn't want to put a lamp and endtable on my registry (or a bra and fan) :laugh: so since it was for his room (and labor), we used a gift card from my first shower to buy it.

Autty - It is really hard to respond to everyone and not forget people. Everyone is really good about not getting bent out of shape if you forget them because we have the same problem. Don't worry about it

AnneElise - No swimsuit for me this year :ohwell: Yay for getting your power back!

Mel - Glad your appointment went well. Our class was moved lastnight to a room on the L&D floor so we did a trial run to see if we remember how to get up there. It was funny because we were doing some relaxation things so we had a pillow and blanket in a suitcase. So...in waddles pregnant me and my husband with a suitcase...I was offered a wheelchair right away :laugh:

Julie - I hadn't even thought about homemade dishwasher detergent!! Message me the recipe :bigsmile:

Jalara - Hopefully next month!!

Rachel - I know exactly how you feel, I really struggled with gaining weight earlier in my pregnancy. I finally have myself convinced that it is because I'm pregnant, not due to any lacking on my part. I think we are programmed to feel defeated when we gain weight because in the past it was due to poor decisions. But now it is something that is supposed to happen, and it happens to everyone differently. Some people workout, eat right, and gain more than someone who sits on their butt. Your body will do what it feels it should. Try not to get down on yourself, you're doing great. And we will all be here to motivate each other to work towards getting back to our pre-pregnancy goals. Chin up babe, I know you look beautiful!

Danielle - Fingers crossed that baby Page cooperates on Friday, I'm so excited to hear! And I hope everything goes well with the house you're looking at.

Carina - I'm sorry hun, hoping next month is the one!! :flowerforyou:

Rachael - So glad your massage went well, sounds relaxing!

Ron - Wow girl, you are doing great!!

Aw, Lynn, you're so patient. :laugh: Poor girl. 2 contractions in an hour and she's off to L&D?! And WHY would she want her baby to be premature again? :huh:

Of course I'm impatient & I joke that I'm ready for her now, but I also want her fully baked & not in the hospital for weeks and weeks after she's born.

Because her Dr. pushed on her stomach and could tell that the baby is ready.... :laugh: :laugh: So in her mind he won't be premature, he @ssinine Dr. says he is ready! :grumble:

I know what you mean, I say "I'm ready" for Josh to be here, but of course I'm ready for him to be here when he is ready.

I know that in a few hours she'll be posting that they sent her home because she isn't really in labor. She is what they refer to in L&D as a frequent flyer or wannabe. From what I can remember, this is her 5th trip to L&D.
