I`m 19 weeks with my second and because I am so busy with my 15 month old I find that this pregnancy is just flying by. Last time every little thing, every drs visit, would get me so emotional because `OMG I`M HAVING A BABY!!!!`. I find that this time around I know what to expect and it`s not `new` like last time. This time I wasn`t sitting around anticipating those first little movements, thinking `was that the baby or was that just gas?` though when they came this time, and each time I feel them I cherish each moment for that one second before I have to go on to another chore or task that I`m busy with. It makes me a bit sad because I enjoyed being pregnant so much the last time and I can`t really just sit around rubbing my belly all day and taking pictures at every angle of my growing bump. I think that it is totally normal to not feel as excited, but cherish the little things, and dont beat yourself up about it. :)

i am having my first now but i would think this is totally normal. dont be so hard on yourself! with the first, or even 2nd one, i think its really new but then i think after youve been a mom and been through pregnancy, you know more of what to expect (and its not always fun lol, the pregnancy part). honestly, if i get pregnant within a year or even two after this lil munchkin, i will prob cry!!!!! its tough to be pregnant/and i assume tougher to be a mom, so stop being hard on yourself :) take care and congrats!!! xo

Sadly I beleive it is normal, I wish I were more excited and into this pregnancy. It was even planned, but I just feel down and out about the whole thing. Hopefully when she arrives, it will all be better.

  1. Is SaraKelly still on here? I know she was a mod but I didn`t see her post in the previous Who Is A Mod poll...
  2. ANGRY!!!! My jenakers account is missing my ENTIRE journal from my high risk pregnancy and my letthisonestick account for my 7 month old is completely gone along with my journal. I AM SICK OVER IT!
  3. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  4. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  5. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  6. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  7. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  8. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  9. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  10. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
