Hi everyone and congrats to all of you mommies-to-be! I'm Veronica and I've been married to my husband Stan since October 7, 2006. We live in Indiana where we both grew up. Although Stan is 13 years older than me. He does Marketing for a living and I work in Payroll. This is our first baby so we are so excited but also nervous. Neither one of us know anything about babies so this should be an adventure. We normally spend our time riding motorcycles and hanging out with friends who's children are almost grown. This will definitely be a big change for us. I hope we can keep our sanity. :) Fortunately a couple we are very good friends with just had a baby in September so we are already learning a lot from them.
I wish you all the best of luck and hope we can all learn a lot from each other.

Well, I'm 31 weeks and I can safely say I'm feeling the pains of pregnancy. My freaking stomach is so sensitive. It's almost like I'm stretching so fast my skin can't keep up. It just hurts and aches with every move. Even clothes hurt sometimes. Thankfully no stretch marks have arrived yet. Also, my boy keeps punching my round ligament and it just feels like a knife is stabbing my side. I just can't seem to get relief from the pain and discomfort these past few days. I guess maybe this is just my body's way of getting me used to pain gradually. Ugh...

So we had our second birthing class tonight. This was the first one my husband went to. I hate to admit this but I think he might drive me crazy during labor. He's just not very attentive. And he was so figity in the class. He has to be out of town for the next two classes so my mom will go with me. As much as I want my husband to be my "coach" It's looking like my mom will most likely be more helpful. It's just not in the poor man's nature to deal well with these things. It's a little disappointing because I would love for him to be all about it. But I also know back when I was born, men were hardly involved at all.
On a cheery note, my showers are just around the corner. One on the 23rd and one on the 1st of March. I have to admit, I've been peeking at my registries! I can't wait! Next Dr. appt is Friday.

Alright, I'm going to use this page to vent my a$$ off. This must be my week to ride the emotional rollercoaster. My husband is not a sympathetic person at all and treats me as if I'm just as fit as I was before I was pregnant. Not once has he thought to help me more around the house or with grocery shopping or anything for that matter. He just left for 3 days and didn't change the bottle on the watercooler after I asked him at least 3 times to do it before he left. Now I have to go get some bottled water. I did laundry all weekend and he never once offered to carry the baskets up or down the stairs for me. I asked him if he could clean up after dinner last night since I was still doing laundry and paying bills and he just completely ignored that I even asked him. I've asked him to come with me when I do the grocery shopping because now days it wears me out. But no, he won't go with me and doesn't help carry them in when I get home. I don't think he's being this way on purpose, I really think he's just freaking clueless. I just want to knock some sense into him. I hope the baby takes a big crap on his laptop and throws up on his remote when he gets here. I know I sound awful but I'm just at that point today where nothing seems to be going right. Can't sleep, can't poop, insurance issues, dogs are on my nerves, sick of working, housekeeper quite with no notice and my husband is a slob, snow is moving in tonight and heartburn now attacks me nightly. AGGGHHH! Lord, please let this mood pass QUICK!

Thank goodness my terrible mood has passed. I'm just full of excitement these days. I've had my first shower with one more to go this Saturday. So strange seeing all of the baby items in my house. At times it seems like the time is going fast then at other times it seems like it's taking so long for him to get here. I'm just really excited to meet my baby boy. His movements are so pronounced now. I do have moments where I fear something will be wrong with him. Things like Downs Syndrome or various other things. I have no reason to be fearful but it is in the back of my mind at times.
Sleeping has become a chore these days which makes for a miserable day at work. And eating is no longer fun since I get so full so quickly and burp up everything for an hour afterward. Other than that I don't really have any major issues thank goodness. Just some common aches and pains. All in all I have to say I have enjoyed my pregnancy. I feel so blessed that things have gone so well. So many people, even close friends of mine, have had so much trouble and heartache with pregnancy. We are truly blessed. Just five weeks to go now. I hope they are as wonderful as the past weeks.

We got the same one. The regular Summer one, not the flat screen color model though. After you mentioned that it had an on/off feature, I decided it might not keep me up all night. I did check it a lot the first night, but now I check if I happen to wake up in the middle of the night and it does make me go back to sleep. I had the AngelCare sensor monitor too, but it kept getting false alarms. It needed a board under it, so we got that today. So not like I have the money right now to be buying all of these monitors, but I did anyway. I hoped that Summer monitor was the one you have.

Hi there, What video monitor do you have? I think I want one now afterall.
mom2oz - Thursday, 17 July
I too have the baby bug! I've pretty much talked dh into having another one- I'm half tempted to call my dr and ask if I can take clomid and breastfeed at the same time (got pg on my 3rd month of clomid last time, but periods have not returned yet ) but I'm afraid he'll say no :p
Jo-Mama - Wednesday, 16 July
I feel the same way. At least once a day I think I'm going to lose my nut and freak out, but at least once a day I think of having another baby. Maybe we are crazy. But I love being a mom, even witht he tough times thrown in there.
mommyinthesky - Wednesday, 16 July
When I was putting some of Jacob's clothes away I was putting some in storage-just in case. Even with everything so crazy and even though I don't want another baby, I want to hang on to the clothes and his things. I've even thought it wouldn't be so bad to have another boy. But these are just passing thoughts that pop into my head and I remind myself that Jacob is probably going to be an only child. I hope it's a nice visit with everyone who comes for Garrett's baptism. We had Jacob baptized at the Lutheran church I used to go to so there was a more private ceremony and since they don't baptize at our non denominational church. It was nice and private and more comfortable for my family and my sister and her husband are his godparents. So I enjoyed his baptism and his dedication too even though only my parents came to the dedication.

lol. I feel the same way! Abigail is only 3 months and i look at my husband and tell him i want another one right now. He looks at me like ive lost my mind. haha. I think we just miss being pregnant. I miss it like crazy!!!
halesss7410 - Wednesday, 16 July
funny you say that!! All of my friends have kids that are 15months old or so and are ready to start planning there 2nd. i find myself sometimes getting jealous that they are going to be prego and have another baby. weird. it is like "I" want to get pregnant and have another because I am enjoying my daughter soooo much! so i can relate. isnt it funny how miserable we are while we are pregnant and how 'not fun' that labor is and 3months later we are thinking about it again??? I do want to wait though.
Jo-Mama - Thursday, 10 July
But is it weird that she's pooing so often? I probably changed 6 or 7 poopy diapers today. There's not a lot of poo. And she seems to be in a good mood and everything else is normal. She has a diaper rash too, but I assumed that was because she was pooping so much.

Today was the worst day of my life I didn't make it through my shift. I cried in the bathroom stall I called the daycare over and over. He wouldn't eat from a bottle he wouldn't nap. They called me and told me they couldn't keep holding him because there are other babies there and asked me when I was going to come pick him up. I think I need to quit.
hoosiermommy - Wednesday, 25 June
Hi - thanks for your message! Always nice to chat with another Indiana mommy... our boys are around the same age, too! How's your little guy doing? Sleeping through the night yet?? :)
littletonmommy - Friday, 20 June
Ahhh your parents should be a good back up if you are starting to go nutty! Tell hubby to get home quick...
mommyinthesky - Friday, 20 June
I'm sorry that things flooded. The overwhelming feeling with work too is something I am dreading. Today I felt like I did everything alone even though my husband is in town. He spent all of 5 mintues with Jacob today. This evening he went golfing while I did Jacob's routine and put him to bed while his kid stayed on the couch. No matter what the moms are the ones stuck with the baby when it comes right down to it. Felt like crying several times lately, but have been unable to. Very unusual for me. I usually have no problem crying. It is getting overwhelming. I finally got the medical bills taken care of yesterday. It's taken 3 months to get them straightened out. Anyway, I feel like I'm losing myself somewhat too and that I will fade away completely one of these days and turn into "Jacob's mom." My husband was talking about how every summer it's the same thing and it's always bad and we always fight. But next summer I have a plan. I am going to take vacation time and take Jacob with me to visit all of my friends that I don't get to visit as often anymore. Next June, we will just go away for the month. Going from place to place. When his son is gone, we'll return.
littletonmommy - Thursday, 19 June
I understand how you feel. I work all day and take care of Teagan all night. I do feel isolated and alone sometimes doing this. It doesn't help that I am nursing because that means others can't help me. Do you have any friends or family that can help you while hubby is gone?
mom2boy - Tuesday, 17 June
I can't believe your hubby won't let you stay home. Tell him you can cook and clean for him, there are huge benefits for a family where the mom stays home. My husband told me that if I wanted to stay home I could but I feel obligated to go back to work for several reasons. 1. I would feel bad if I told my work I was coming back from the beginning and then last minute say "never mind" 2. I am the most senior tech and I only have to work 3 shifts 10 hours each all during week days, which is unheard of in my field. 3. I would miss all my co-workers and last but not least 4. I carry our insurance since my husband is self employed. We would have to get private insurance and that would be expensive...but possibly worth it. I am at least going back to give it a try. If I cannot handle it we will go from there. Even that is hard though I feel like if I go back for a month and then decide to stay home that is a waste of a month that I could have been spending with Jamison.
mom2boy - Tuesday, 17 June
Thanks for your comment, it is nice to know that I am not the only one having a hard time with it. Do you feel that they can take care of your baby ok in daycare? When he is crying do they tend to him. What about naps. Jamison needs to be swaddled, bounced and patted. Also he wakes up about 20 minutes into his naps, I sit by him so when he wakes I can immediately get him to go back to sleep. Will they do this there? I doubt it they have too many kids. How will he nap without all this help? If he doesn't nap he is totally pissy all day, I don't t think they could handle an angry Jamison.

Hey!!!!! hows everything?? i see you took him to the mall! thats so great! it does get annoying w the whole feeding and diaper change thing. i am out w him EVERY single day alone. i am so used to it. i just dont like when he is in the back crying bc theres nothing i can do about it!
Peach - Monday, 16 June
Congratulations on making it out to the mall!! It can be hard to get out of the house. For the first time, I took my daughter out to Target by myself. It can seem like such a big milestone to me...it may seem silly, but I think it's good when we mommies can take our babies out into the world (for our sake and their's)!
cris99 - Monday, 16 June
Hi, I read your post and I understand how you feel about the mall thing. The first time I did it with my son to have pictures taken I was so overwhelmed with the stroller and bottles and diaper changes..I vowed never to do it again! lol But, going out in general got eaiser, especially since now he's almost on a little schedule of his own. And no matter where we go, if at all possible I try to make sure he eats right before we leave that way at least I can sort of time when he'll be hungry again and sort of map out my errands that way. So it does get eaisier! Good Luck!
