IT'S A GIRL!!!!!!!!!

About You
Name?: Kristen
Age?: 29
Height?: 5'7"
Pre-pregnancy weight?: 170- I had just lost 29 lbs and was planning on losing 10-15 more, but baby put a temporary halt to that.

About The Father
Name?: Tom
Age?: 36 (37 by the time baby is born)
Height?: 6'2"
Are you still together?: Most definitely

About Your Pregnancy
Is this your first pregnancy?: Yes
When did you find out you were pregnant?: August 25, a couple weeks before our 1 yr anniv and days before leaving for our anniversary trip to Alaska (which as you can imagine meant I didn't have the BEST time in the world)
Was it planned?: Not planned, not protected by any sure methods

What was your first reaction?: Shock, and utter excitement
Who was with you when you found out?: Just me. I waited until hubby ran errands to test because I didn't want him to know I was testing. I thought he'd be disappointed if I wasn't, and I really didn't think I was.
Who was the first person you told?: Tom
How did your parents react?: Not the greatest reactions- not because they weren't happy, but just because of surrouding circumstances. My dad's mom was dying at the same time, I had just joined in his business with him so he was concerned about that, and they weren't expecting it to boot because I had told everyone we were waiting another year. My MIL was excited, but doesn't show much outward excitement. She also already has 9 grandkids all the way up to the age of 31, so she's been a grandma for a long time already.

How far along are you?: 20 weeks, 5 days

What was your first symptom?: dizziness, which is why I took the test because I couldn't shake it.
What is your due date?: May 3,2008
Do you know the sex of the baby?: Yep
If so, what is it?: GIRL GIRL GIRL, which is what I suspected from day 1
Have you picked out names?: Yep
If so, what are they?: we have 2 in mind, but are not sharing them. We'll make our final decision when we see what she looks like, and then we'll share the name.
How much weight have you gained?: 6 lbs

Have you felt the baby move?: Yes, I love it!
Have you heard the heartbeat?: Several times

About the birth
Will you keep the baby?: I most certainly will.
Home or hospital birth?: Hospital, an hour from my house which makes me nervous!
Natural or medicated birth?: I'm going to try my darndest to have a natural birth
Who will be in the delivery room with you?: Tom
Will you breastfeed?: Yes, unless there are circumstances that don't allow for it.
Do you think you'll need a c-section?: I'm hoping not.
Will you cry when you hold the baby for the first time?: YES.
What's the first thing you might say to him/her?: Don't know- maybe something along the lines of, "I finally get to hold you", or "You're beautiful."
Would you let someone videotape the birth?: pictures are fine, not keen on video
Are you excited about the birth, or scared?: EXCITED!

Message to all This may be interesting to some of you. Seema`s email is seema.modhvadia@rdftelevision.com

Hi there,

I work for a television production company based in the UK . We are currently making a documentary for ITV1 exploring the issues surrounding pregnancy and eating disorders. The film will be a thoughtful and insightful look into this extremely sensitive subject.

We’re in the research stage of our production and very keen to chat to women who are, or have been, pregnant whilst having an eating disorder.

If you’re interested in having a chat or finding out more about our documentary, it would be really great to hear from you. All communication would be in complete confidence.

You can contact me on: seema.modhvadia@rdftelevision.com

Congrats! I'm glad you went natural and held out! How are you? Happy Mother's Day!


jenlove - Thursday, 8 May
Hey Girl just checking on you... -5 days... how are you holding up? hope you're doing well, I'm thinking about you:)


cristty - Wednesday, 7 May
went to the doctor today and had an ultrasound... My baby is 7,9 pounds. If he was over 8 pounds he was going to induce me this coming Thursday but he is waiting one more week cause there is no medical reason to induce me just yet... so I have an appointment right on my due date the 12th of may and then they are scheduling to induce me in the next couple days..(if I don't have the baby until that date but doesn't look like I will) cervix is soft but way high and baby has not dropped at all! How are you?? any progress?


MJamison - Tuesday, 6 May
Hey! I saw your comment on someone elses page about your friend being induced with Cervidil and I was just wondering if you know how she liked it? I am hearing very mixed reviews on the stuff and I am being induced at 42 weeks with it next week!
Also something really cool coming to your page! I noticed you are from Rockville! I grew up in Germantown and went to Seneca Valley! I live in SC now though! Thought that was kinda cool!
Good Luck!


Tiffers28 - Tuesday, 6 May
Hey thanks for letting me vent and the response, I'm gonna have a heart to heart with the DH! Hopefully since I've already started contracting today and I lost my mucus plug this morning, they will leave the kids at home with family and not miss school! Here's praying! lol We'll see! Good luck to you and your angel!!!


jenlove - Tuesday, 6 May
I think you are right! That's what I've heard. Be careful, stay close to home just in case (of what, i don't know) :) I really am clueless!


jenlove - Tuesday, 6 May
Oh I hope so! Do you think it is contractions? I really have no idea what it is going to feel like, and no one can say for sure which is confusing. Please keep us posted! Fingers crossed! Could be the day:)!


jenlove - Tuesday, 6 May
Any news?


MilMom2Be - Tuesday, 6 May
Thank you for being so encouraging, I just woke up, took off from work today so I would be rested and ready to talk to my doctor at the appt later... Also just don't feel like getting up to go to work any more... 41 wks now! So a good start to today and hopefully she can induce me this week as I would like my little one b4 mothers day as well!


MilMom2Be - Monday, 5 May
My problem is more that I have not effaced or dilated at all, and I am afraid her head is too big to engage now.. Lol, the perils of a 4'11" woman marrying a 6'1"man, he gave me a big girl, over eight pounds already by the doctors guestimate!


jenlove - Monday, 5 May
Well? How are you? Any news?

Keep us posted! :)


cristty - Monday, 5 May
I feel the same way!! :)
