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!
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.

I know I have been cuddling Jamison all day too. I have hardly put him down. Oh and to make matters worse I took the band aide of one leg and he screamed all over again like he got more shots. I felt horrible.
sickasadog - Monday, 9 June
hey girl, he is toooooo cute! love the photo!!!! things are much better down here. hayden is now alert and responsive. he was a pain before with whiny, gassy, refluxy baby. I am glad he is turning around since he has to go to day care in a couple weeks.
simplyme - Tuesday, 3 June
Hi there hun, dont worry you arent the only one feeling resentful to your other half...I am also feeling like that, i just dont think men get that we get tired too. I am also working full time and i also take baby with me to work and i am soooo tired by the time i get home i just want to hand her over but my SO tells me he is tired from working. So go figure although i have let him have it a few times and told him that she is his daughter as well and he needs to pull his weight and help me. So your not alone.
momoffive - Tuesday, 3 June
well, I yell a lot :-) Not at them but accross the room or the yard to them as I am taking care of another one of them. My husband comes home and I'm still using my "mommy voice" and he askes how come I'm talking so loud :-) I also have an amazing 8 year old daughter and a 5 year old daughter that help with the little ones a lot. I tell my oldest all the time that I appreciate her so much and I'd be loony without her. My hubby is very good about taking some of them to his garage with him and stuff when he gets home from work too.
You should try making a bet with your husband, most men love a good challenge, bet him he can't spend 12 hours strait with just him and baby and no help...make the wager something he can't turn down (sex is always a great wager :-) ) He needs to know what you go thru on a daily basis. It will make him much more appriciative of you. My husband used to always go somewhere for help when I left him with our first, now we have to many kids to recruite help, and most that he'd try and ask would tell him buck up and take it.

Hey, I'm in the same boat with the husband issue and I don't know what to do about it. We did have a talk about it and he admitted to being a little jealous which surprised both of us. He's been quite the jerk lately. The weekend was an improvement, but I told him not to make me resentful about all of this. I hate that feeling. His son is coming to visit soon and that is always stressful for us too. My husband works very late hours and then comes home and doesn't help much anymore because "he works" all day. Our backyard is so trashed that my dad and brother-in-law are coming tomorrow to fix it. My dad got the cooler going. My husband is not following through on daddy duties or husband duties lately. I know he doesn't feel well because of his diabetes, but it's his own fault for not taking care of myself. Anyway, we'd started fighting so much more than ever before and it really worried me. He's even been yelling at me and he never did that before. Anyway, I hope this improves.
mom2boy - Monday, 2 June
Yeah, maybe he is just unsure what to do. That is how my husband was. At first he didn't do much with the baby and just catered to me but I really wanted help with Jamison. It wasn't his fault I think he felt like I was watching him closely every time he was handling Jamison. It was hard but I have learned to step back...a bit. They will never feel competent if we don't give them the chance. It is my husbands job to give him has baths every night and at first I would stand there and go "get under his neck, get his back, don't make it too hot, careful hold him" etc. Now I just walk away and enjoy some alone time. Now if I ever want to bathe him I will probably have to ask my husband for help. The only thing I still sorta boss my husband around about is when he needs to eat and nap just so that I can keep him from getting grouchy.
henrysmum - Monday, 2 June
You aren't the only one at all!!! When I am working...still on mat leave at the mo....I work and seem to have sole responsibilty for all the kids as well. He (much as I love him) has lie ins, says things like 'but it's my day off' and simply cannot see the irony!!!

I posted new professional pictures on my page of Kayla. They were taken at 5 weeks old

Hi, I'll be going back to work sometime in September. I'll do 2 trips and then I have vacation, so I won't be gone that long. October is when my regular schedule will start. I have to go for a recurrent training day in August as well. For now, I won't have to worry about daycare because my mom is going to take care of Jacob during the day. Probably 2 days a week. We'll see how long it lasts as my husband's job industry never seems secure and I'm always afraid we'll have to move. If we move, he will be in daycare for sure. We were away from our house for 2 years and have only been back a year. I don't know what I'd do without my mom. However, I have 2 friends who are stay at home moms and they put their kids in daycare starting at 1 year old and the other 18 mo. a few times a week just so they could have some free time and to get their kids used to being away from mom. Another friend of mine is a teacher and she's off during the summer, but she still brings her daughters to daycare because they love it. The only drawback seems to be that they pick up so much from other kids and pass colds off to my friend. Her kids get over it quickly. She doesn't.

Yes, our baby has slept in his nursery in his crib since day one. It has worked out really well for us. Our room is right next door so we hear him if he wakes. In the beginning we put the monitor on but it would squeal because I think our room was so close -who knows? But we do not use monitor anymore. I am a light sleeper. Anyway. I have about 5 friends who all just had babies (must be a baby boom year) and not one of them has mastered their baby sleeping in their own room. I seem to be the exception. Their responses are they are just not ready yet. I think they think something is going to happen to the baby and they will not be there quick enough. I say whatever works for your situation you do. Afterall its your baby. However, I do bring my baby boy into the bed for a few minutes here and there during the week just to feel snuggly with him. It is a lot of fun.
butrfliefct - Thursday, 22 May
hey I have my little one in his own room. He started sleeping there at 4 1/2 weeks. he does better in his own room. He was waking up every 45 min when he was with us. Every baby is different though.
jessicadarling - Wednesday, 21 May
100 bucks a week sounds like a dream compared to here. We can apply to the government for help with daycare costs and even then they only give you about 100 bucks to put towards it so even then we would be spending $900 yuck
mommyinthesky - Tuesday, 20 May
What a cute little Garrett face! He has cute eyebrows. :) I can't believe you're already back at work. It seems like you just got off work. The time is really starting to go by fast. I'm starting to dread going back to work. I was looking forward to being away and relaxing in the hotels and talking to people again, but I'm afraid I'm going to miss out on a lot. I have a few months left though, so I guess I should be enjoying it instead of worrying about the end of my time off. Did you find a good daycare for Garrett? At least you will see him everyday and each night. You won't be away for days at a time. Someday he'll make lots of friends there and probably enjoy going.

So cute! can u believe theyre over a month old already? jeez!! mommyinthesky - Tuesday, 13 May
Hi, Thanks for the message. Yes, I guess there is just something about this week 5/6 stuff. Jacob will be 7 weeks on Thursday. He's been his old self the last few days again, thank goodness. At least until the next growth spurt or whatever causes all of this. We took him to Home Depot, so we got out and about. His first outing was to the Sears tool department, so my dad was proud. We haven't gone out to dinner with him or anything yet. We have a trip to Denver coming up at the end of the month. I don't know how we're going to manage 7 hours in the minivan. We could fly, but I just am not up for the airport/airplane stuff. I think my next plane ride will be when I go back to work. We had our anniversary on Saturday and went dancing, so that day did improve. Our anniversary photo this year is a picture of us holding our baby in front of the minivan with Jacob wearing his "For a Good Time Call 1-800-GRANDMA" outfit.

if your baby has colic you should try giving probiotics it has been proven to help and i give it to my son he has trouble with gas and it works wonders google it and have a look at the research! good luck!
babydane - Saturday, 10 May
Hey, I am so sorry that I never get back to people that write to me. I have been so busy trying to get into this whole new routine. What an adjustment to a whole new life style. I am so sorry to hear that your baby has collic, and your DH is out of town. God bless your heart right now. You'll be Okay! I'm so glad to hear that you will be having some help from your mom. Just remember deep cleansing breaths. *Maybe easier said then done* Kayla is doing so good so far with her formula. Spits up here and there. I've had some hard times with burping her.
Well hang in there sweetie, and vent whenever you want on my page. After the week I've had about (Chris) I can be here for others!!!! XOXO
BabyHelton - Thursday, 8 May
hey there, saw your husband was out of town and wanted to let you know you are not alone. My hubby is going out of town Monday for a week. And a couple of weeks ago he was gone for a week. I figure I survived it, so I'll survive this one coming up. It sucks so bad though, even with help from the family. Just not the same.
mom2boy - Thursday, 8 May
Sorry you had a difficult night. If it makes you feel any better I have had nights like that too. Where I am crying like a baby and my baby is crying like some out of control screaming monster. I have had times (and will probably continue to have times) where I wonder "how will I get through this" and this is all with my husband home with me. It is definitely difficult being a parent. Much much harder than I thought or ever could have imagined.
csewell0301 - Thursday, 8 May
i know how your feeling with ur hubby gone, mines in the military so hes home and hes not for weeks just be strong and youll be ok! ask for help from other ppl such as relatives all people love lil babies! and remember sometimes babies just want to cry for no reason when mine acts like that i give her a bath and she loves it
Simplyme - Thursday, 8 May
Hey there..i was just reading your comment on 1 month page and i wanted to know if you have tried swaddling..if not look it up. I was told that babies like to feel constricted. My little girl wiggles all the time and for the last couple of days i have been swaddling her when i want her to sleep and she calms down straight and usually goes to sleep. Hope it helps.
littlecavalier - Thursday, 8 May
I am so sorry that you are having a rough night, I remember those times like it was yesterday. It will get better, he will get easier. Is there anyone nearby that you could call to come and help you out or just be a shoulder to cry on? Never be afraid to ask for help, everyone with a baby has been there! Here are some internet hugs XXXXX. I hope you are able to get some sleep tonight. If you think that your son is gassy and that is why he is crying let me know and I'll tell you all of the things that helped my son.

Garrett is pretty cute too!
