Re: ---May Mommies Check-in---
Any news or updates on your pregnancy?
still feel like crap. Did move next appt. to 10/23 instead of 10/27
How much maternity leave do you plan to take. Will it be paid or unpaid?
Not sure yet. Its all un-paid. With DS I came home from hospital on Monday and went back to work Friday. I atleast hope to get more time off this time.
What is your favorite thing about Fall?
The pumpkin patches, falling leaves and the cool crisp air.
Add me please! My EDD is May 28th I believe.
1. Nothing too new to report. Just the normal m/s and I am SO tired!!
2. I get six weeks paid, but I have 4 weeks sick time, and like 2 weeks vacation. I may just take all of it if I can. I still haven't told everyone at work yet, so I don't have all the details.
3. Cooler weather, the colors, sweaters, it's my favorite season!
Hi! Can you please add me?
I'm due May 18th... I see some people have a few extra details so I'll add those too! I'm 25 and live in Chicago.
Thanks for putting forth so much work to keep us May mommies together!
1. Bloat is an interesting thing... although, the constant all day vomitting has stopped so I'm NOT complaining (Repeat, NOT COMPLAINING
) Can't wait for the 17th so I can go to my 1st appointment!!
2. Minimum take off time for me will be 12 weeks. Unpaid, except for what I can cover with sick/vac. days. However, I'm really hoping to be able to stay home (it's going to depend on our finances, unfortunately, I make a lot more money than DH!!)
3. I like most everything about fall... the colors, baking, the holidays, hot apple cider, apple picking, pumpkin patches... yay!!
Q1: Any news or updates on your pregnancy?None yet, 1st appt 10/20
Q2:(Pregnancy Related):How much maternity leave do you plan to take. Will it be paid or unpaid? About 8 weeks, 70% of my pay via Short-term disability
Q3:(Non-Pregnancy Related):What is your favorite thing about Fall? Candy Corn....though I'm not much in the mood for it right now! Hot Cider too!
Q1. Well... after 5 HCG tests and 2 US's I still don't know what is going on with my pregnancy. I'm not really spotting anymore which is good and I still feel preggers right now I just have to wait until Thursady when I go back in for another US. Hopefully the progesterone I'm taking kicks this baby into high gear otherwise I might be leaving you guys next week.
Q2. Right now I am a SAHM. Hopefully if all goes well I'll be going back to school in the spring and summer which means I am going to have to juggle baby, a 4 yr old, and school. Here's praying another deployment doesn't pop up.
Q3. I love the weather. A bit cool but mostly sunny. Perfect zoo weather.
Lacie - 28 (29 in Nov) - Louisiana
If you wouldn't mind adding me, I am due May 27th. Minnesota, 25 yrs
Q1) The nausea came on VERY strongly last week, and is still hanging on, despite getting some meds from my dr. Extremely tired, but can only sleep for 2-3 hours at a time. *shrug* Such is life, I guess. My little blueberry is worth it!!
(Q2) 4-6 weeks unpaid. Then the hubby will take a week or so, then my mom will come down and take a couple weeks. Bah! I want to be a SAHM SO bad, but it doesn't look like it's going to happen.
(Q3) Hunting and my anniversary!
Please add me:
Due May 29
1. No new news really. First appointment next week... YAY! Other than that battling M/S, I was NEVER this sick with dd.
2. 10 weeks (entirety of the summer) six of which should be paid
3. I love fall food... soup, chowder, pot pie, pot roast, cookies, pie...etc... now if only I could find my appetite to enjoy all of it

Q1: First visit is October 14th... too long if you ask me!
Been having burning and cramping on left side and will be visiting ER for an sonogram today... probably just an infection, but want to be certain.

Q1- I had an u/s last week at my first appt. Everything is measuring perfectly!
Q2- I work in a school so I will be off from baby's arrival until Sept. I might have to take 3 weeks unpaid because I don't have enough sick time.

I'm due May 25th!!!

1. Well, my first u/s is tommorrow & 2nd ob appt is Friday. I am :petrified: for tomorrow morning.
2. I get 6 weeks paid (vaginal, 8 c/s) and I'll probably take another 6 weeks for 12 total. I may get paid 60% for the second half, I am not sure yet.
3. Fall is my favorite season. I love the cool weather, sweatshirt wearing & bonfires. I also love curling up under a warm blanket while the air around me feels cool. I love going for walks & looking at the colors changing. I also love crisp days at the cider mill & hot fresh apple cider. Guess that was more then one : )
Q1: I made it to double digits!! More pregnant than I ever been.
Q2: I am a SAHW
Q3:The cool weather, leaves changing.. Which none of it has happened here in Missouri... We are still having 80 degree weather ugg

Baby #4 due date February 2015
My name is Kristin, 26, from MI.
Q1: Any news or updates on your pregnancy?
Going for appt #2 on Friday and I cannot wait!!
Q2:(Pregnancy Related):How much maternity leave do you plan to take. Will it be paid or unpaid?
Possibly 12 weeks, but more likely 8. I get only my regular vacation time (3 wks) paid, so the rest will be unpaid.
Q3:(Non-Pregnancy Related):What is your favorite thing about Fall?
Our annual Halloween Party & Road Rally. SO fun!!!
I'm due may 22nd. Very exciting! I haven't had my first appt yet, it's in two weeks. I'm surprised they want me to wait this long. I haven't had symptoms yet, so they're not worried about me.
anyway: Due May 22, Kerry, 31, PA
Please add me, I'm new here this is my first post! I'm due May 16, 2009 with our FIRST child!
My name is Heather and I'm a Type 1 Diabetic. My 2nd prenatal visit is Oct. 13.
I'm a registered nurse and I haven't decided how long I will work, I guess it depends on how my diabetes effects my pregnancy as well as the demands on my body from my 12 hour shifts.

Q2:(Pregnancy Related): I will take off 12 weeks (I get 6 weeks paid, and then I'll use some of my vacation... and then take a few weeks unpaid)
Q3:(Non-Pregnancy Related): I love watching the leaves change
1. M/S is easing up some. Yay!
2. I volunteer and I can take up to 6 months off without losing my position, so that's no problem. I will be starting med school (hopefully) 3 months after I'm due.
3. Food! I love warm chowders and pumpkin anything (dh makes a mean pumpkin black bean soup). I had to turn on my furnace for the first time yesterday and it really got me in the mood!
Can I be added to this list? We are pregnant with our 1st and our due May 8 . Looks like there are a lot of us on this day. So exciting!
