Hello everyone,

This is my first pregnancy! I am 7 months along and anxiously counting down the days for this little girl to come out. My husband Matt and I are very excited to start our family and to think that she will be here in less than two months is a pretty sobering thought!

About Your Pregnancy
Is this your first pregnancy?:Yep
When did you find out you were pregnant?:October 3rd in the Walgreens bathroom (couldn't wait to get home to take the test)
Was it planned?:Not planned but we weren't really being careful or avoiding it either-kinda just threw caution to the wind I guess

Who was with you when you found out?:alone in the bathroom
Who was the first person you told?:Matt
How did your parents react?:They are soooo excited, it's thier first grandbaby
How far along are you?:30 weeks
What was your first symptom?:My period was 2 days late
What is your due date?:June 6th 2008 but I'm hoping she comes a smidge sooner!
Do you know the sex of the baby?:

A GIRL! She's gonna be a little rock 'n roll baby, and we are naming her Ella

If so, what is it?:see above
Have you picked out names?:Ella....but can't decide on a middle name yet

March 27th, 2008

So today I officially feel like a whale. Everyone at work commenting on how 'BIG' I look today. That makes me feel special inside.....(insert sarcasm here)........It now feels like I am carrying around a load of bricks, which kick, punch and do the truffle shuffle on my bladder! I am continually losing sleep and I am getting more exhausted by the day. I know I am complaining, it is just a very wierd feeling to have absolutely no control over your body. I feel like little Ella has set a putch in motion to overthrow my body and become a little dictator in my womb. She's a clever one, this fetus......However, everytime I do start to get the grumbles, she never fails to make herself known, whether it be by kicking, turning, sucker punching...what have you. Then, it doesn't seem so bad because I get to feel her, this living thing inside of me. It's more amazing than words can describe.........Today is my husband's Birthday..Happy birthday Matt!!! For your birthday I'm baking you a baby.........;)

Not a problem.. last night I had it happen quite a bit too.. I kept waking up thinking that I had leaked pee or something, but each time I checked it wasn't that.. so I do think that it is just some sort of watery discharge. I have heard that your discharge changes near labor time, but I don't remember that happening with my son. Here is hoping!!

I had something like that. I started leaking something not sure what it was , I didnt think it was my water because I wasnt really getting any contractions. But I went to the Hospital anyway and they told me that is was my water the was leaking. If can go a they can test to see if thats what it is, rather be safe then sorry.

I about fainted when the tech told me that my lil girl already weighs 7lbs and 15 oz! The scary thing is that the u/s can go one pound either way! So my lil girl is already hitting 7lbs or she may be 9lbs! OUCH!!

You gotta love the comments. lol. I get some pretty wierd ones when I work too. This one lady was like, "oop we better order before this lady has her baby!" I'm like ok I wouldn't be here if I was worried about giving birth in front of you all. Anyways...we have been pregnant for almost a year! So let them say what they want! It's our fricken lives right? : )

My hubby and I had a very serious heart to heart this weekend about what things will NOT be tolerated in our marriage. It was very constructive and I'm praying things continue to improve. Thank you so much for your support!!

i have been geting thr same pains....wonder what it is


katiemom - Tuesday, 29 April
sassafras- i've been having the same 'belly button pain' for months now. when i first experienced it i was really scared and went in to see my doctor. He said it was just my omentum, ya know that layer of fat Dr. Oz talks about on Oprah? Anyway, due to the expanding uterus he says that layer of fat on your belly starts to thin out, sometimes causing stabbing pains in your belly button. He told me not to worry unless i noticed swelling, redness or tenderness around the area, b/c we can develop an umbilical hernia. I asked what i could do to prevent it...and he said, nothing! stinkers. I would let your doc know, just in case, but don't worry too much, just stop moving and wait it out! good luck!

yeah i'm in the same boat as you with the shoes, Im a vet tech so i cant have any open shoes, i now wear klogs they are leather but no shoe laces so no bending over :) they have been by far the most comfy shoes- which is good because i am on my feet working 12 hrs a day
