Yes, it is run-bike-run. I am trying this particular duathlon because it is a little shorter than most, I didnt want to get in over my head! Run 2.5 mi, bike 15.5 miles, run 2.5. bluefox - they actually have a division for mountain bikes in this duathlon, which is what I am going to do. I guess alot of newcomers do this…

I posted this on the Dec 2012 due dates, too, but thought I'd post my story here as well! Now that my baby is 3 weeks old, I guess it's time to post my birth story!! Well, let's start at the very beginning of December... two of my 3 daughters got sick the first part of December w/ the flu (vomitting, fever, chills, ect.).…

MrsCarter - this is actually my 4th! I have 3 daughters and this one we didnt find out what we are having. Yes, I feel all the same things you are feeling, even though I've had 3 other babies! My youngest is 4, so it's kind of like starting all over for us. The nerves, anticipation, ect is all very surreal still. Sometimes…

Just got home from my last prenatal doc appt. Kind of bittersweet. I have been looking foward to the last appt, but now that it's over, I am kind of sad :( This is my last baby, so I will never have these kind of appst again, will never see my baby on an ultrasound, ect. I can't say that pregnancy is my favorite thing, but…

Yeah! - Wouldn't a 12/12/12 birthday be fun? My nephew was born on 11/11/11 and then mine on 12/12/12, kind of neat! Yes, I guess mine could come early, but I really dont think he/she will. The checked me 2 weeks ago and nothing was happening, and I skipped being checked last week (I figured there was not point!). I have…

[/quote] Thanks girlie! I'm due the 9th but babies rarely come on their edds so we will see! [/quote] I hope Jax doesnt make you wait too much longer! With my first, my daughter came 1 day before my EDD, so you never know!! It seems like a lot of the new arrivals have been making their mommas go past their due dates...I…

Chickybuns - congrats on the arrival of Miles. Sorry to hear about all the other scary stuff you had to go through, though. So glad that everything worked out in the end. Thanks for sharing your story!

It is crazy that it's December!! Weird to say that I am going to have my baby next week! Scheduled c-section for 12/12/12. I'm guessing baby wont come early, on it's own, so 10 days left for me! Good luck, Mrs Carter! You are so close! :)
-
Good luck to you....whenever it happens!! ;)

Had my second to last appt today - woo hoo! My frank breech baby has turned head down! Yeah, I am so excited. I'm having a c-section regardless, but it's nice to know baby isn't frank breeach anymore (that was really worrying me). Baby has also dropped some. I was measuring right on track, but now that baby has flipped, I…
-
Ahh, 3 weeks left for me! So excited but still so much to do! In the next three weeks, besides getting stuff ready for baby, I have to put on 2 birthday parties, attend 2 baby showers (for me, so not complaining), go to 2 Christmas dinners, one Christmas party....oh, and hosting Thanksgiving tomorrow for 22 people. I three…

My DH and I packed up our 4 wk old, 21 month old and 4 yr old and headed to Arizona for a week....just to get away and hang out as a family. We drove, too (we live in CO, cant remember how long of a drive it was, but we broke it out into 2 days). It went so well on that trip, that we packed the girls up again when the baby…
-
Well, thank you all for making me feel better. The baby has been in this position for awhile...every u/s I've had, the legs have been up by it's face/head. I just didnt think anything of it until the doc's said 'frank breech.' Even if it does have it's legs up by it's head when he/she is born, I know that that is their…
-
Yeah!! We officially get to say that our babies will be here next month! So excited, yet so much still to do....including all my Christmas shopping! I want to be done by 11/30, but we have a lot of people to buy for......14 nieces/nephews, brother, sister, BIL, SIL, parents, MIL, FIL, not to mention my own husband and 3…

I'm with everyone else - I wouldnt worry about her weight, it's hard for them to get accurate numbers. With my 2nd, I had only gained 10 lbs by the time I reached 38 weeks. Docs were worried about the baby, thinking that she wasnt gaining enough weight They considered delivering her early saying that she would have better…

[/quote] Do you find a lot of people question why you decided not to find out the gender, or think it's odd that you don't want to know? I get it all the time, and I'm tired of it. I'll admit I'm sick of the gender neutral clothes (or lack thereof! The selection is terrible...) and can't wait to buy girl/boy stuff, but I…

Had my 32 week appt today, and have to start going every week now for a biophysical ultrasound. I have GD and they wanted me to come 2x/week now, but my doc is an hour away (each way) and cant possibly see going twice each week for NST. So, they agreed just to do once-a-week ultrasounds/growth scans. I love seeing the baby…
-
congrats, Jillsie! Thanks for posting a quick story and pic! So fun to hear about and see the new baby!
-
Feel free to complain, that's why we are all here! :) I am a SAHM, so I dont have to deal with work. I guess I am lucky enough that I can (sometimes) lay down in the afternoon, if I have to. I do have some outside-of-the-home part/part/part time jobs that I have decided to quit. My back kills me and I have vein problems in…

Just thought I'd try and start this thread going again - there are lots of December babies coming! How is everyone doing? We have not found out the sex of our baby, keeping it a suprise. It was kind of hard over the weekend b/c I just really wanted to buy an outfit or two for the baby, but I'm not into all the…

I really want to try getting together some freezer meals, but have never done it before! Got any tips? Good receipes/meals? Websites you use? I have 8 wks &6 days left and have sooo much to do. Freezer meals is def. something I want done! Thanks!
-
Good to know about the bedtime snack. I usually get pretty sick after dinner and dont feel like eating a snack before bed, but I know I need to change that! Hearing that your numbers are low b/c of your snack will help get me on track...rather force myself to eat something than have to take medicine! Good luck with your…
-
Sorry to hear that you have GD. This is actually my 3rd pregnancy that I have had it :( Each time I was able to control it all on my own. It hasn't been until now that my morning fasting is a little on the high side, but I've still managed to stay off of medicine. I do have to try to have a snack at night, which will help.…

I get to finally, officially join the 2nd trimester group! I am 14 wks 1 day today. Yeah! I still have all day morning sickness that gets worse in the evening. I am not doing good w/ my food or exercise because I feel terrible all the time. The only thing I can drink is very cold, very watered down lemonade (and only a…
-
Well, I posted this on the 1st trimester group too, but I'm just so happy. Had my first doc appt & ultrasound today. Saw the baby and heard the strong heartbeat. Sure if reassurring and exciting. My husband and our daughters were there, too. It was great. And, the doc gave me a prescription for Zofran, so I am really…

Had my first doc appt today and had an ultrasound. I am 7 wks exactly. Saw the baby and heard a nice strong heartbeat. It was so great. Equally as great is that my doc gave me a prescription for Zofran to help w/ the morning sickness. Will take my first pill in the morning - really hoping it will help me get though the day…

I am a SAHM and have been for the last 8 yrs. I had a degree, had a good job, ect. Even before we had children, my husband and I agreed that I would work part time. I figured this was the best of both worlds! After my daughter was born, I went back to work part-time after my maternity leave. I was fortunate enough to have…
-
egh7 - thank you! My girls are going to be thrilled. They have a 5 month old cousin and a 2wk old cousin and all they talk about is how they want a baby too! Your 4 yr old is going to be so helpful, I think that will be a fun age to have a new baby around! murphy15-fun idea to tell the parents on mother's day. My 2nd…

I just found out on Sunday that I am pregnant, due around 12/20. I am 5 wks along! No one knows yet except for husband! This will be our 4th child. We have 3 daughters, ages 8,5&3. We are very excited for our 4th and final baby! Going to tell our daughters in about 2 wks, so they can go to the first appt w/ us. I am having…
