IT'S A BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

20 week update -

We have our U/S appointment this Friday on the 8th - I cant wait to find out the sex of the baby!!!!! I had a dream last night that we were at the appointment and it was a boy, which is what I've thought all along! I've been feeling him moving around more and more which has been a strange sensation to say the least. My hubby got to feel him for the first time saturday night which was great!!!

I'll update again Friday after we find out the sex for sure!

18 week update -

I feel like I've gotten huge in the last few weeks which would make sense why all of my pre-pregnancy t-shirts are fitting a little more snug! I'm discovering just how important posture is the bigger I get - the more I slouch, the more uncomfortable I feel - ugh! We have an appointment with our midwife on wednesday at 3 - get to hear the HB again - wahoo! Unfortunately have to give blood as well which I could personally do without. Part of me is glad they warned me about it last time, but the other part of me wishes they woulda just surprised me with it. I've thought about the fact that I have to give blood at this appointment every darn day since my LAST appointment... guess I better get used to this needle thing!!! I've felt the baby move twice - once over a week ago and once last friday. Felt like a faint thump in there - not like gas bubbles or a flutter.... everyone is different though! We cant wait until our U/S on the 8th - my mom is flying out from Florida for 3 whole days to be there for it. My husbands mother will be there as well. Initially we were going to have the tech write down the sex for us and my hubby and I were going to open it in private later. We decided that since BOTH grandma's will be there, that we'd just have the tech announce the sex there. My husbands mom was at the 13 week U/S so I cant wait for my mom to be at this one. There's something magical in seeing your baby up on that screen moving around and hearing that HB! It's an amazing experience!!!

Intro....

Hey All - I'm new to the site. My husband and I are due June 23rd with our first baby. We'd been trying to get pregnant since May of 07 and FINALLY got a positive test October 16th! My periods had been irregular since getting off BC but had started to slightly regulate in September. I thought I was due sometime between Thursday and Saturday and had been cramping really bad like I was going to start. I had some VERY light spotting Friday which was a good indicator to me that it was coming. By tuesday I still hadnt gotten it so my manager convinced me I needed to take a test THAT night. I had my hubby make an emergency walmart run at lunch to get a test which he was reluctant to do because we'd taken a few prior withOUT the positive result we were hoping for. That night when he got home, I was already in the bathroom peeing into a cup so I could take the test RIGHT AWAY! I dipped the stick and put it on the counter and we both hovered over it waiting for those 2 pink lines! The first line showed up right away and the second showed up a few seconds later - very faintly! I immediately FREAKED out and started balling like a mad woman! We hugged and were in sheer amazement at FINALLY seeing a positive test! WAHOO!

My pregnancy has been relatively problem free. Had some nausea from weeks 5ish thru 7ish but never actually tossed my cookies. I've been moody like the dickens - my poor husband! Thanksgiving week was especially bad but we managed to get through it! Its hard to explain what goes through your mind when your pregnant and full of hormones until you've been through it! I've experienced doubt and fear and excitement - it's been a whirlwind of emotions that's for sure! My husband has been overly anal about EVERYTHING from what I eat to what cleaning products I'm using around the house! He has decided we needed to switch to all natural cleaning products (oh how I miss Clorox clean up!) and organic fruits and veggies. At least he cares I suppose, although sometimes it gets old!

Anyway - onward and upward. June will be here before we know it and we'll be parents to a new baby... boy I'm guessing. We find out for sure Feb 8th at 1pm to be exact!

Best of luck to all the ladies!!

Wahoooo free wipees!!! That sounds great about the breast feeding class. Im glad hes latching on more. Its a good bonding experience if nothing else. Im feeling guilty now... I havent breast fed Bryson in days now. Im so spolied with the bottle and so is he I think. What I really need to do is breast feed him at night and then pump and bottle feed during the day. Ill make a pact to start doing that tnite. I hope he will still latch on. I giess if he is hungry enough. Im glad youve fallen in love, I know you were worried but I also knew it would happen. I agree having people around probably held it up. Not only because they helped but also they were a simple distraction. You couldnt focus purely on Tyler. I guess things are going good staying home then. We've been keeping Russ's kids a lot these days while they are out of school and is totally wearing me out. Its been making me really crabby. Plus this sounds bad, but I hate that I cant go anywhere. I dont want to leave B with a sitter, even a grandaprent yet, so I feel so cooped up. Ill be glad when school starts back. Although I hate to wish time away. Bry is 6 weeks old today!!! Time is flying!!! He is also filling out his newborn onesies. Ive been eyeing his 0-3 month items thinking of trying them on him soon. I hate it cause he had so much cute nb stuff some he never wore. He had some footie outfits that I never put on him cause it was simply too hot. Then a few outfits he only wore once or twice... I need to put it all on him I guess while I still can. Thats cute you guys are haivng a small party for T!!! Take pics!!! I think Bry is about 8 pounds by now too. Oh yeah and speaking of growing out of nb things are you still using nb diapers?? I fear he may out grow his before we use them all!! Terrible... I guess they go to 10 pounds though so maybe we will be alright but he will probably fit the sixe 1s soon. Bry has a double chin too!! and chubby little thighs!! LOL he had NO chub when he was born so hes packing it on LOL. Oh I discovered while in VA he recognizes me!! Yeah!! when someone else was holding him if I spoke he would turn his head and try to find me. It makes me happy, he wants me more than other people LOL...

Thanks for the freebie tip!

Oh, added some new pics!

Yeah, we do the swaddle thing-we found these awesome muslin blankets at bru that are a little bigger b/c she always seems to fight out of those other ones with the velcro. We're switching her formula to the gentleease to help with gas.
Oh, the pediatrician said the rice cereal was ok as long as we weren't doing it to help her sleep! We're not, but honestly, what's the diff? How will they know why I'm giving it to her? LOL I don't get that whole don't do this or that b/c it's soooo bad, but yet people did it before, and it's ok to do it for this reason, but not that reason

The longest we've gotten her to sleep is 3 and a half hours

The way we work it out though I only have to get up twice a night. She almost rolled over the other day! Made it on her side and decided to roll back onto her back! I keep trying to encourage her when she plays on her gym by grabbing both her hands. She absolutely LOVES that gym! Boy what a happy baby

How's everything? Getting used to being a SAHM??LOL I told my hubby that I was leaning toward not going back and his smart ass comment was, "OMG, what will all the online stores do with out your business?" Not funny, smart ass- I'll still shop! He's been getting on my nerves this last week, not quite sure why. Thank God for my playgroup-at least I can get out and socialize once a week

Trip was good but exhausting. B did good in the car but he was really fussy the whole time we were there. I think it was the stress of different surroundings and unfamiliar people passing him around. I was really glad to get home. How is T doing?? growing??!!! lol how are you doing at home with him?? When does he have his 1 month appt?? I go for my 6 week follow up on the 30th... ughhh not looking forward to that.

colleen - Monday, 21 July
Well, we started trying gripe water and it seems to work with gas. But she also has probs with spit up, so we tried a teaspoon of rice cereal and that helped the spit up, but neither helps both!! AAAAAAHHH

I'm not sure if she's starting to get colicky. She seems to fuss or cry now whenever she's not asleep or not eating. I think I might be getting the baby blues now! I keep doubting myself. Oh well, she'll get over the colic eventually. How's things going with hubby back at work today?

colleen - Friday, 18 July
Well, apparently he was given misinformation about his job. He talked to his boss's boss yesterday and there is no plans to ax him-if anything, they think he should move on to bigger and better things. His old boss told him people were asking, "why is Derek still on this team?" He took it to mean they wanted to get rid of him, and actually they meant why hasn't he been promoted yet? D seems to think all is well, I'm still a little nervous, though. I told him to keep looking anyway. Anyway, back to better things. Haylie eats between 3-4 oz. every 2-3 hours, sometimes she'll eat an ounce and a half and then get hungry in an hour. She's having problems spitting up but I'm still thinking it's b/c of the gas. I'm giving her baby gas x in her bottle but I'm not seeing enough of a difference(except her poop is gray

) I wish she would eat like 4 oz every 4 hours and be done with it!! LOL If only all of our babies could be like that! Have a great weekend if I don't talk to you! I think I might kick back a few this weekend!

heathersprk - Friday, 18 July
Ughhh I was just so busy trying to get ready to go out of town!!! Im leaving today what an adventure it should be!! I hope all goes well. I wont have internet acess there so Ill update you when I get home on Tuesday. B's 1 month appt went well. He was 7lbs and 10oz!!! Hes getting so big I cant believe it. She said 3oz every 3 hours is what he should be eating at his weight. She said when I breast feed thats probably what he eats. But she said that eating from a bottle is so much easier that he may be trying to suck down more when he bottle feeds and that could be leading to him spitting up if hes over eating. Good to know. When I breast feed I just feed him until he quits wanting it. It varies from 15-30 minutes I guess depending on how hungry he is. Apaarently the ozs dont matter as much as we as moms think. SO long as they arent sitting around hungry as long as they gain weight. Im getting spoiled now though and giving him more and more bottles its so much easier to just pump and feed him that way. But I know I still need to do it the regular ol way some so he wont forget how. Does T have any baby acne?? B got some and I hate it. I wish I could make it go away. Its not too bad but still.... oh well Ill catch up when I get home!!!

I remember how blessed any stretch of sleep seemed, lol. Glad you are doing well. . .Tylers pics look great! Well, I head out for the beach tomorrow. . .I am gonna work a half a day or so. We set the date for Sept 9th, so not too much longer to go. I am so done w/ being pregnant. . I really hope there aren't too many young bikini babes for me to hate on at the beach. . .tee hee hee.

SaraEmily - Thursday, 17 July
Hope all is going well. : )

colleen - Thursday, 17 July
Well, he applied for some jobs yesterday within IBM(where he works) and hopefully something will pan out there. A few of the jobs are work from home which would be good for both of us right now(maybe not later-I like my alone time-LOL). We wouldn't have to change insurance or anything. I'm much better today than yesterday! How's the babywise going? Haylie was great the last couple nights, but not so good last night again. That seems to be the pattern. She is a chunky monkey! I'm getting concerned she's eating TOO much-she's always hungry!!

mommi2b - Thursday, 17 July
Hi! She was born Wed July 2nd at 1:11p! :) They had to use a vacuum and do a episiotomy to get her out. She weighed 8 lbs 11 oz!

I love every second w/ her! She's pretty good at night. I still don't get much sleep though! My mom is leaving on Saturday, then my brother will up for a week. I'm looking forward to when everyone is gone and I can spend some real quality time w/ her and really get to know her, ya know? Since she's been born it's kinda been a struggle just to get to hold her - what w/ everyone visiting and everything. Everyone wants to hold her. I'll be glad when things are norm and it's just me and her - and of course, daddy. :)

rvitullo - Wednesday, 16 July
OMG He's beautiful! Congratulations!! I'll post some pics soon, my bundle of joy is waking up. . . :)

rvitullo - Wednesday, 16 July
Hi!! I've been thinking about you soooo much and this is the first time I've gotten a chance to sign on. We had our little boy on Monday June 16th! The labor was 10 hours total and I had him "naturally" but with the epidural. And THANK GOD for the epidural because "real" conractions are the WORST!! Even worse than pushing. He weighed in at 8lbs 8oz. and is a big boy, but sooooo great. How are you doing? Obviously you've given birth by now too? Tell me all about it. (I haven't gone to your page yet, so forgive me if you've updated it. . :)

colleen - Wednesday, 16 July
oh, and fyi-Haylie weighs 9 lbs., 7 oz. at her appt. Monday! She's getting HUGE!!!

colleen - Wednesday, 16 July
I'm wishing you all the luck in the world on that! I hope it works out for you. Yeah, I don't know why it's easier for some than others. We just found out that D's probably going to lose his job in 75 days. I'm sooo upset, I don't know what to do other than cry. This has got to come at the worst possible time. Thank God he got a head's up from his old boss so he has time to look for another. I'm worried about us losing his awesome benefits, on top of me possibly having to go back to work in retail so I can make more money. I don't want to go back IN RETAIL!!! I'll NEVER be home with my daughter!!!!! Oh, God I don't know what to do!

heathersprk - Tuesday, 15 July
OMG Ive been so busy I cant believe it. Well hes eating more normally again now every 3 hoursish so maybe it was just a phase or something. Although Im afraid Im not making as much milk as I used to. Maybe hes just eating more but I dont know. I hardly have any left over to freeze now when I pump. He eats more when he eats from a bottle maybe hes over eating and thats whats making him spit up?? I dont know... but if my milk doesnt start to increase with his appetite then I guess Ill have to supplement with formula. Theres always something to worry about I swear!!! I go back to the Dr with him tomorrow for his one month appt so I can ask everything then I guess. Yeah about the IUD... they say it makes your periods super light or even dissapear. That would be awesome. I was actually having cramps the other day and wondered if I was getting my period but I never did and the cramps went away. My aunt though has 2 boys 11 months apart!! She got accidentally preggo right after the birth of the first one. Apparently you are like super fertile after giving birth. Although sex is still not in my short term plans LOL.

bexcited - Tuesday, 15 July
I put pics up!

colleen - Monday, 14 July
I always thought that was amazing that your boobs start leaking when your child cries! Mine didn't of course. I'm in the process of drying it up :( I still wasn't making anything, and i know there were things I could have tried, but my heart just wasn't in it. I think my experience that first week traumatized me towards the whole thing. She's doing fine, just REALLY gassy, but I will ask the doc about that today. She had a clogged tear duct, but that seems to have gone away. I'm having issues now with this stupid c-sect cut. I think I might have infection, which will suck ass really bad if I do! Oh well, take care. I'll chat with you later!

colleen - Sunday, 13 July
That's so awesome! Haylie's not quite there, she still wakes up every 2-3 hours to eat-BUT last night I fed her at 1:20 am and she didn't wake up until 5 am! so that was awesome for her(and me-LOL). She must be going through a growth spurt or something b/c yesterday she ate 3 oz. every 2 hours on the dot. I don't really want to increase to 4 oz until I talk to the ped. tomorrow. Doesn't that seem like a lot for a 3 week old? I don't know, maybe I'll try giving her 4 oz for a feeding today and see how she does. My parents are here so maybe D and I can go have some quality time together since my mom hogs Haylie the whole time anyway!

mommi2b - Saturday, 12 July
Hi! I'm so sorry I've been outta touch - been so crazy around here. I have my little girl!!!!!!!!! I love her so much - she is so beautiful!!!!! I haven't put pics on yet but will do hopefully today. Things have been so hectic have had a house full of people since been home w/ her - I barely ever even get to hold her cuz everyone else is hogging her!!! LOL

HOW R U???????

heathersprk - Friday, 11 July
Well I actually took B to the Dr today. He had been tossing his milk all night and today. Brenton had just gotten over a tummy bug so I freaked out thinking maybe Bryson caught it. Turns out he didnt. She thought its probably something Im eating thats upsetting him. GREAT so Ive got to eat a completely bland diet now. This kid is determined to keep me on diet restrictions!! Ughhh the fussy days... we have those too and I know what you mean when they insist on being held there is nothing else you can do. I always feel terrible for getting nothing done. Its like taking care of him is all I do. Especially if its a day where he eats every hour too. I asked about that too... she said to try to push him back to eating every 3 hours but to wait until he was over his upset tummy first. He actually went close to 4 hours between feedings last night but he appetite has been down since he wasnt feeling well. And he officially weighted 7lbs and 2oz. She was very pleased with that. I was too it sounds about right. His clothes are finally starting to fit him!! LOL. Hmmm about the itching. You know I had a yeast infection like 2 weeks before I went into labor plus I had one back in my first trimester. Which was odd to have 2 in one year like that, but they say pregnancy can make you more sucseptible to them... that may still be the case. Im sure you could grab an over the counter treatment if you decide to venture out for a card... it cant hurt, it should be safe since thats what they told me to do while preggo. ABout the bc... yeah I think we've decided on the Mirena IUD... I was scared of it but 2 of the midwives highly recommended it. Apparently they put it in at the office and hurts no more than a pap smear and its effective for 5 years but can be removed sooner if God forbid I wanted to get preggo again. It would be nice to not have to remember to take a pill or anything, I wouldnt have to even think about it for 5 years. Also its safe to use while breast feeding, the pill I used to take isnt. The only thing is they wont put it in for like 8-10 weeks after birth so I have to wait for it... I have my 6 weeks appt on the 30th so Ill just talk to them then about it I guess. Ill ask then about the soreness from the epi too. Yeah Bry still sleeps in our room. Russ is such a sound sleeper that he can sleep thorugh anything but Im starting to think about moving him. I wonder if hearing us is what wakes him up so frequently?? Maybe he would sleep better in his own room. I dont know.., I might try it and see but Im not ready to yet. Im clingy to him I like to be able to check in on him lol. Next week maybe when he turns a month old. I still feel like a zombie Im so tired. Speaking of load of laundry too I got to go do some.

colleen - Friday, 11 July
I feel the same way about D. It's amazing how well they've been coping with all of this! Thank God we got some good men!!!

Haylie had a couple of rough nights but did ok again last night. I guess it's just the unexpectedness of a newborn! You know what's funny? I looked up babywise on the internet and a lot of the stuff it says to do we're already doing! She eats every 2-3 hours as well, about the same amount, usually 3 ounces, sometimes 4 at night. But she does have her bad nights, thankfully not every night! Her bellybutton stump finally came off this morning!!! Boo hoo, her last attachment to her mommy is gone!!! LOL Anyway, I'm really glad things are getting better for you! We'll get through this! I put a couple of new pics up, check em out!
