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.


February 19, 2008

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!


February 25, 2008

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.

Thank you for the comment. It's nice to hear of others who are working until the end. Everyone acts like it's no big deal, my mother in law was talking about how when she was working they made them quit at 7 months. I sure wish the world was still like that! Feminist policy really bites us in the butt sometimes!


lenslik - Sunday, 9 Mar
thank you very much for your advise:)


emmz84 - Sunday, 9 Mar
thankyou for your post. i have now updated my profile with details of the birth and pics, beware i have put a pic of my scar....


marias1stbaby - Sunday, 9 Mar
OMG tooooo Funny...so I was wrong lol


Jo-Mama - Thursday, 6 Mar
I am so glad the in law situation worked out and you didn't even have to have the big talk. I bet you will appreciate the short visits so much more now. I love it when things work out!


gonzjan - Thursday, 6 Mar
Hi,
Im happy that everythng worked out for you. Take care. :)


mommyinthesky - Wednesday, 5 Mar
Hi, Thanks for checking on me. I'm not so much bored as frustrated and a little sad. I still have so much I want to do and get done! The problem is that the BP goes up even if I'm just wandering around the house for a little bit or sitting up and working on the computer. It does go down if I stay down, so that is still good. We'll see what the doctor says on Thursday. My doctor will be gone my 38th week. She'd talked about inducing if things don't improve. You're right, it's not that much longer, anyone can be pregnant a week or two more, right?


ErinS1121 - Wednesday, 5 Mar
 and where did you get that TOTALLY awesome airplane light???? i love it!


Jo-Mama - Monday, 3 Mar
The cool thing: even though I don't know any of those details, my midwife visits are an hour long! We sit and chat about everything. Maybe that's why I am so relaxed - she always has answers for me.


dmtheria - Thursday, 28 Feb
Aren't they so cute? I can't wait to put a little bum in them ahaha. What colours did you get?


babydane - Thursday, 28 Feb
Hey there,
I'm hanging in there I guess. I have been sad lately missing my brother more and more. It will be a year on May 6th. When Kayla comes I will be more fulfilled in my broken heart, but just to have my brother back, and seeing him hold his little neice is more then all the money in the world to me.
I feel like you hun I want this to be over I am so anxious myself to see her, and hear that first cry. I must say that I am scared so bad about this labor process
How has your baby's movemenst been, lately? Last week and all weekend was terrific!. Yesterday and now today she is quiet, but then sparks up at night. I have felt some today, but I will wait until tonight. That seems to be her patterns! I hope all is well.
Oh by the way I love your vacation pictures. My husband Matt and I in our 12th year of high school went on a white water rafting trip in the poconoes and thats where we feel in love. Ahhhh 12 years ago in May !!! Oh where does the time go... Take care sweetie!


Jo-Mama - Wednesday, 27 Feb
Maybe you should print off some of our comments to show him that this is a feeling a lot of women have. It's not that we don't appreciate the offers of help, or that we have anything against our MILs, we just want to ease our ways into motherhood. We want to make sure that the home is as relaxed and calm as possible. We want to bond. It's biological - we can't help feeling this way!


theresaanne - Wednesday, 27 Feb
The way I explained it to my husband was that it would be much harder for me to recover with his mother around. I would feel as though I need to entertain and if she was doing something to annoy me, I wouldn't be able to say anything. With my mother - yes she will probably drive me just as crazy, but I know I can ask her to clean the house and even if I yell at her she will forget about it eventually. It is different when it is your own mother. Plus part of me thinks its your first baby and this is a special time for you and for your mother as well. My husband seemed to understand this reasoning...hopefully it helps you!


Jo-Mama - Wednesday, 27 Feb
I totally agree with you. You should have a quiet house to come home to after the birth. How are you supposed to bond with your baby if you're worried about house guests? His sister should definitely take them in.

My MIL is coming (she lives 15 hours away), but she's not coming until April 15. And then she'll be staying with my husband's sister, unless we want her here. She is being just wonderful about it.

I really hope this works out for you. You should be concentrating on having this little baby and being with your husband, not stressing over relatives and what they want. You should have the final say!!!


mommyinthesky - Wednesday, 27 Feb
Boy did we ever have this same fight many months ago. You cannot give in on this. You will resent it for years and years. Your MIL must stay with your husband's sister. At least she has that, you don't even have to push the hotel thing like I was trying to. My husband finally got behind me on the whole issue and then in the end it didn't matter because they are not coming anymore anyway. Thanks to their daughter now having twins, I'm off the hook. But really, it would have been the final straw for me had they stayed with us right after giving birth!


ErinS1121 - Wednesday, 27 Feb
ur mother in law should NOT be in the delivery room or really anywhere around the house. you should ALWAYS just have ur mom:) i have mil issues too!


smurfmv - Wednesday, 27 Feb
Hopefully your DH will understand. Im having a hard time in a similar situation. The hubby is deployed and of course his mother, father, two brothers and probably 2-4 neices and nephews will be coming within the 18 days he is home! I love his family but one of his brothers and his wife dont want to be down at the same time as his mother and father but I dont want each group down for a week at a time but during different weeks! I havent seen my hubby in months and it will be about 9-10 more months before he is home for good! No one is staying in our house but always having people around is going to stress me out and I want to spend time with just me and him before the baby and then I dont want him to have to fight off his family to spend the only time he will have for the next 10 months with his son! Am I being unreasonable? I really dont think so. Not only that, I really want my mom to come down but she wants to wait until right after the hubby leaves and everyone else is gone so she can spend time with the baby and help me when I have no one but my in laws can never seem to get it together until the last second to let us know EXACT dates they will be here. My MIL didnt tell me if she was coming to my shower until a few days before and my SIL never really told me for sure that she wouldnt be coming. She just left me wondering! It drives me nuts!


lisar - Wednesday, 27 Feb
I also just read your second comment about wanting your mom around but not his, and if your MIL is anything like mine, I can see why. As I always tell my husband in times like this, when my mother is at our house, she is helping me, when his mother is at our house, I am serving her. It's one thing to put up with that for my husband on any regular day of the year, but not right after giving birth. Sorry to rant, can you see this is a hot topic & a fight that has been had in my house?:)


lisar - Wednesday, 27 Feb
I would say no way baby you're parents or the baby and me! When I had my son, not only did we not have anyone stay with us, but we had 'visiting hours' so guests couldn't just set up shop from morning till night. We also didn't allow any visitors the first day home so that we could just bond as a family. I have amny friends who have done similar things. I personally think that your husband's parents should know better than to impose on a new mom, but maybe it's been so long for them they don't remember what it is like. Either way, good luck, but if I were you, I'd say this is one battle worth having.


marias1stbaby - Wednesday, 27 Feb
 You look great :), I have many pics like this...I can't seem to look at them right now, I'm sure we will go back to it. HOT MAMA!!!


dmtheria - Monday, 25 Feb
Thats great! Let me know how you are doing with the whole cloth diaper thing when the time comes! How many diapers are you starting with? We bought 20, but I am not sure if that is enough, what do you think? A great site to buy bumgenius is www.euphoriamaternity.com.
I wanted to buy them there as they are much less expensive, but they can't ship them to canada. Bumgenius wouldn't allow it- we ordered other stuff from her though:)


dmtheria - Sunday, 24 Feb
Thats great! I heard fuzzybunz were great! We are going with BumGenius cause they come as a all sizes in one, pocket diaper. This way we don't have to keep buying more sizes! We are really excited to cloth diaper! I think it is really great! I hope I can do it and don't think it is too gross lol!
