Hey guys! Congrats on your pregnancies! I am 24 and pregnant with my second child! I am due in September, two weeks shy of my 25th birthday! I am a full time student at Arkansas State University majoring in social work, I also work part time at a child and youth pediatric day clinic. My daughter will be 3 in May and she is so awesome! Her favorite song is Fergie's "Big Girls Don't Cry" and she can sing an entire verse with no help lol! My husband is David, and he is going to school and majoring in auto body repair, he also works at a restaurant part time. Anyway, thats us, so excited to add an addition to our little world! thanks for visiting my page!

hey, your so welcome, i think its nice anytime when someone shows a bit of care and compassion (maybe thats the nurse in me lol) but especially so when your pregnant. Things can seem so much worse cant they!
My pregnancy is going fine thanks, i get a bit of pain here and there but thats becuase i have arthritis anyway and this pregnancy seems to have agravated it a bit, but most of the time its not too bad so i cant really moan, my hips are the worst, specially the one cos i keep getting a trapped nerve in it when i sit down and then go to stand!
I think im just getting old really hahahahahaha.
Im lucky in some ways because my husband is at home whilst i work part time, so he does quite a lot with our 2 girls, i have one whos almost 10 an the other is almost 3. The 10yr old does a lot of dancing so that is really time consuming - not to mention expensive! But at least hes willing to ferry her around to her lessons and stuff, plus taking care of the little one too. The downside to that is though that we are struggling a little financially, but hey ho, we'll get there.
We found out that im having a boy this time, i was a little dissapointed at first because i was longing for another girl, maybe thats because its all ive ever known, however im over that now and am as excited and looking forward to his arrival, babies are babies and are so adorable whatever they are arent they. Plus the way i look at it now is that i will be priveledged to know what its like to have girls and a boy so i consider myself really lucky after all.
Right dont want to bore you too much so better go, its great to chat to you, glad its helped you mind. This site is great isnt it, i love to be able to share stuff with other mums to be in the same boat, its reassuring. Anyway, you take care now luv Theresa xxx

It was only the most awesomest day of my life!!! Now im bak to work. wondering why.. hahhaha actually wanting that maternity leave.

Im going to need for you to take it easy on that foot there. No more break dancing for you miss missy!
Can you even take medicine for that right now?? Ouch! My feet have been so swollen, sometimes they hurt. Gives me a reason to sit down. hahahaha
Hope the pain goes away soon. Lord knows theres a million other things going on right now... haha

Oh bless ya, poor poor you, no, mine sure was painful but it sounds like you got it real bad. Being pregnant too - its the last thing you need!!
I would persivere with the cast though, as i said it will stretch out the tendon, i can imagine it being hell but hang on in there and hopefully you will feel the benefit of it after the week. Oh i really do feel for you. Have they suggested any pain killers for you? I have severe back pain at the moment and have taken some co-codamol 8/500mg (its 8mg codine and 500mg paracetamol in each tablet) you can take 2 at a time and it did help, even if it just takes the edge off for you, somethings gotta be worht it, i appreciate you have to be careful because of the baby, but mummy has to be ok too!
You take care, hope you have someone to look after you!
Thinking of you and sending you a big hug to make you feel better!
On another note, i guess mothers day is different in the UK, we had ours in March so i was a bit shocked to see all these mothers day greetings on here, i panicked for a minute and thought id missed it LOL.
Hope you had a good day anyway - despite being in such pain!
Take good care now xxxx

msreid - Tuesday, 13 May
So..... Im hitched now. And it glorious! I dont know what to do now but waiting for the baby to come.. Life couldnt be better! Babys kicking and moving everyday! Hows everything going with you!

Hi,
I just read about your plantars facitis, i so sympathise, i had that too, the options were at the time, to take anti-inflammatories, if that didnt work they give you steroid injection into the foot, or sometimes splint you at night becuase its caused by the plantar tenon contracting slightly when you relax then when you stand on it and stretch it out you get lots of pain, so the splint helps to keep the foot stretched out so its less painful when you mobilise. Im not sure how you would go i=on with medications while you are pregnant, i guess thats why its so sore too! However, on a good side, mie just went on its own after about 3 months. a long time i know but it saved interventions!
Anyway, dont know if thats helped at all but thought id share it with you.
Hope its feeling better soon, i remember it well it was so painful. Had it in both of my feet.
Anyway, all the best to you xxx

Thats okay that you dont have a name picked out. My grandma gave birth to her second son and didn't have a name for him! Some people say it's best to wait until the baby is born to see what she/he looks like. I like to have the name before hand because I don't want to call it "The Baby" my whole pregnancy. The apartment is really nice and I LOVE it! I love finally being on my own. It must be like a heavy weight has been lifted from your shoulders now that exsams are over! That's great that Laney is almost potty trained. I heard that girls are easier than boys. And it'll be so easy to have one potty trained instead of having two babies in diapers. Whenever I flush the toilet, Tyler says "Bye bye poopy." hahahah. But he's not showing signs..like, he won't tell me when he goes. But when I ask him "Did you go potty?" he'll say "Yeah." I'm buying him a potty seat in two days anyway. Maybe if I sit him on the seat, he'll be more confident.

I thought I was the only one. I was starting to think my baby was gonna be huge or something! And, sorry you're not feeling too good, hope you're feeling better tomorrow!

She is SO adorable. I love her pig tails!!!!

babiiluv - Tuesday, 6 May
Wow..three years old already.. I can't believe it! The months fly by so fast!!!! Do you have a name picked out for the second girl? I'm doing great, just been really busy with the whole moving into an apartment and everything..but my pregnancy is going so smoothly. I eat way too much and I sleep every chance I get. The tired-ness is kicking in. How are you??

I totally agree with the distance thing, my in-laws are about 30 minutes away which is close enough, but too far for them to make an unannounced visit! My parents on the other hand are 2 min. away (which is great for me...I'm very close to them!), and I love it (not so sure about Frank, lol). But it's great, especially for babysitting.
I really like the name Molly, it's kind of old fashioned ( I really like Abigail and Clair too). There are so many pretty girl names, I think that it's more difficult to find a boys name (we're still sticking to Nicholas).
So you're almost done school, will you be taking time off for the summer? Would be great to have the time prior to the baby coming. Unfortunately I have to work (17 wks to go...but who's counting lol), but then I'll be off for a year, can't wait!! So what are you going to do about mat. leave with school and all. I hear that you don't get much time off in the States (that sucks!).
So how are you enjoying your pregnancy so far?

journeyambrose - Monday, 5 May
That actually happened to me too! It was pretty much the same thing, I sat on the couch and decided to lift my shirt when she started moving. It was so exciting.

I've actually been home in bed this week (today is 1st day back at work) with bronchitis. Not much fun, but finally feel like I've turned the corner and am on my way to recovery. (I've tried logging on to this web site at home, but for some reason couldn't access?!?! so I slept and watched lots of tv). I also had my follow-up u/s yesterday and all is good (fluid levels), I also got to see the baby and it was nice, I saw him(??) moving, waving, I did ask if she could confirm that it was still a boy, but she said that his(??) legs were crossed and she couldn't tell. Yeah I do feel more movement, but not enough to distinguish a pattern.
Is your family near where you live? If you could where would you want to re-locate? I think that I'd love to be in a hot climate (it's been really cool here, and today I wore my scarf and winter coat!! crazy!!)

Trust me-I know how hectic planning a birthday is. My son will be 2 on saturday. Im about to pull my hair out. Im glad you are doing good!!!! Keep in touch

MrsSoller - Thursday, 1 May
You know, I asked my husband last night what he wanted the baby to be, and he said he really didn't care anymore ( at first I'm sure he was wanting a boy) but all he cares about is having a healthy and happy baby. and i feel the same way. I really wanted a girl at first, but now... I'll I want is a healthy baby. Hey have you looked at Target... I think I've seen some bedding that matches the colors that your talking about. Well I'll let you know when we find out!!!! Congrats with the 2 girls... now they will have a strong sisterly bond when they grow up... how special :)

2ndtimearound@25 - Thursday, 1 May

MrsSoller - Thursday, 1 May
I LOVE arkansas, except for the awful summer heat. That is cool that you are getting a pool, that will help out alot with the 100+ degree weather coming this way :) This will be our first baby, we are really excited about it. We go May 6th to find out what we are having. I can't wait!!!

MrsSoller - Wednesday, 30 April

You know we already have a name! I was just waiting to confirm that it was indeed a girl so i could start calling her that instead of "the baby"..or "it" hahaha Her name is going to be Chandler Myrel Reid. I chose chandler because my sons name is Charles and I wanted to give her a CH name too. And i thought Chandler was a cute name for a girl. And the Myrel Came from 2 names, My fiances mom Myra and My mom Elaine.. So it ended up as Myrel.. Pretty cool Huh! hahaha I cant tell you how excited I am. Shes moving Everyday now. Im getting married NEXT WEEKI!!! ( in complete freakout mode!!) So Really I couldnt be happier with everything! :)
