    Nicely done on the list!!!!! Great to actually be able to see all the due dates in one place.
    BTW... anyone dealing w/ crazy mood swings? Good Lord am I in a wretched mood right now.... just gonna blame it on the hormones. Makes sense... I've heard there are enough hormones coursing through a pregnant woman's body to kill an elephant... and I'm so irritable enough to kill an elephant right now... ugh.
    OMG YES!!! I was just a little bit upset yesterday and I ended up bawling like a little girl on my hubby's shoulder. I had no reason to cry, just started bawling when he asked me if I was OK. And every time my phone goes off, I want to chuck it through a wall. No reason there either, just don't want to hear it. I literally twitch when I hear a text or when it rings.

My half sister gave birth to my nephew Noah Andrew in July, so Kaiden will have a cousin 8 months older than him and my poor dad will have two grandsons in less than a year.

    Fun Fact about yourself: I really like to read, garden, cook, and bake...sorry -- those are kinda boring...maybe that I have moved a lot? at least 8 times in the last 3 years since I have been in FL, and I grew up in NY, and lived in NJ and DE before FL.

    It felt sooo good to get back to the track today! I got my fruit and veggies so far, and already drank 8 glasses of water. AND I felt so much more relaxed and happy and optimistic since I saw the heartbeat yesterday!! My m/s was a lot easier on me today, and I am just more at peace. Well, it is shower time and then cooking dinner...bed is already calling my name!
    Glad to see everyone is still truckin' at being good!

    I agree that this thread seems to be the easiest thing to do for now instead of using the group feature for now. I can't believe it is ALREADY December! Oh my...where has the time gone?!

    Here is the link to the "after baby" thread. I will of course continue to check in here often...I feel like I've created relationships with you all and can't wait for you all to "graduate" to the next forum :)

    Hi Everyone!

    Name: Tanya
    Hubby/Partner: Brandon
    How many kids do you have: Our 1st!
    Due Date: May 9, 2012
    How far along are you: 17 weeks 2 days
    Do you know the gender: Find out Dec. 8th
    Babies Name: Waiting until we know gender
    Where do you live (if you want to share): Vermont
    Workouts you are doing while pregnant: Zumba, yoga and weights
    Fun Fact about yourself: I teach two Zumba classes a week (for my day job I sit at a desk - not as much fun!) I hope to continue for most of my pregnancy. I have researched Hypnobirthing and water birth and will also look into a method my midwife told me about, Hip Birth. I was really drawn to water birth but the birthing center where I will be going does not allow it. I am going to write a letter since I was planning on providing my own tub, maybe they will consider. No matter what, I plan on natural childbirth.

    I'm off to my Friday morning 6 am Zumba class! I'm getting over a cold, so my energy may be a little low today. Maybe I can sweat out the germs. :o)

    Fun Fact about yourself: this isn't really a fun fact but I gained over 100 pounds with my first child and I am sound and determined not to gain even half of that this time.

    Love the idea of the survey Nichole, and love the idea of puting them all together in a list Kim. Great job guys!

    Today I have my chiropractor appointment, I’m really hoping he can do something to help me with the bruised rib but I doubt it. On the plus side my back pains are almost all gone. I only get it periodically now instead of all day everyday!
    This weekend is going to be so hectic, I have so much I want to get done around the house, and we have so many places we need to be, I think I’m going to make an itinerary to make sure we don’t forget anything! How sad that we need one!

    Hope everyone is doing well, and have a good weekend.

    Ash,

    Abeare: Have a fun weekend. I hope the chiropractor can help you out with the rib issue.

    I am currently on day three of bedrest and am going stir crazy. How do people handle laying around all day doing nothing? Any fun ideas to pass time?
    Last night I was almost at the point of no more blood so I was excited thinking that today would start my 7 days left on bedrest. However, last night I woke up at 1:30am bleeding again. I think it must be related to how I sleep since it started when I was sleeping also. My mother in law is picking me up a body pillow today to see if that helps with the issue at all. It really is kind of a scary thing. I hope that we can figure out what the cause is soon so we can hopefully keep it from happening again.

    Welcome to all the new peeps!

    Thanks Elce, it is a cute story if I do say so myself. :smile:

    Heather, thanks for starting the new after preggo board; I'll have to check in with you all periodically.

    Belinda, I hope your bleeding stops and you get to get off bedrest soon. Passing the time.....how about reading? Sudoku? Organizing your digital photo library and selecting photos to print and arranging albums (this has been a long time goal of mine).

    Ash, hope your ribs feel better soon.

    Everyone else, keep up the great work!

    I am so thankful (I am knocking on wood) that I have felt as good as I have so far. I am starting to get a little uncomfortable sometimes, mainly just when I'm trying to shift on the couch or get up from cushiony places. Every now and again my belly feels tight and I can feel the baby under my ribs a little. But I have felt pretty fantastic the last 32 weeks. I know I still have 8 weeks and LOTS of growing to do, but so far so good. I'm also sleeping good for the most part and haven't even been getting up to pee in the middle of the night recently! We'll see how I feel in 6 weeks. :wink:

    My parents are in town and my sister is flying in soon and I don't want to be at work. Unfortunately there is work to do so I better run. I'm looking forward to our first shower tomorrow! Everyone have a great weekend!
