~Sunday Ticker Change~

Fryday37 · November 2010

Hi ladies, happy Sunday! I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I'm at 25 weeks now, coming up on double digits of time left (ElizabethandJames, I noticed that you reached that milestone...awesome!!!)

The other day I was driving and thinking about LO as an adult. I pictured him out on a date and talking about his parents. I wondered what kinds of things he would say about me. It's really made me think about what kind of a mom I hope to be. It was so great to think of him all grown up; I realized that I am not just having a baby, I am going to be raising a man. That's a big responsibility but I'm really excited for the challange. Any one else having deep thoughts, plans, dreams about LO betond the baby years?

I hope you all have a wonderful week and congrats on being one week closer to meeting LO. I think most of us have reached v-day which is so exciting, if you're not quite there yet, you will be very soon!!

Good morning!! 23 weeks here

Yes, I think about my LOs grown up all the time. When I look at DD, I am always imagining how she'll look when she gets older, what kind of a teenager and woman she will become, what type of person she will fall in love with, what kind of relationship she and I will have, etc...and now, I think the same things about this baby, except I also picture them as sisters growing up together. It's fun daydreaming

I was off from work this past week, and I am going to miss my DD when I go back tomorrow. But I will become a SAHM as of January, so I'm hoping December flies by! Have a wonderful end of the weekend everyone!

I'm at 23 weeks today, too! We talk a lot about our hopes for Noah, well beyond his baby years, but I think we do so knowing that it could all be completely different from anything we imagine! One of the biggest things we've talked about, though, is education ... DH wants private school all the way, and I'd rather do public school or homeschool!

26 weeks today! and I just noticed I was down to double digits a few mins ago.

I often think of how my children will be when they grown up. I have hopes and dreams for them that they couldn't even imagine! I have a child with special needs and I worry abut his life. I think of how he will be treated and how his older brother and soon to be younger sister are going to react to the other children who will be picking on their brother. We have signed ourselves up for a huge challange for sure. I am sure it will be fine though. Things always work out.

26 weeks here! The double digits make things a little more real. I also saw my belly movin' and groovin' from the outside recently. He is a busy boy!

Well I am staying here for my ticker change, but I my doc was pretty firm about moving my date to March 7, so I will be 26 weeks tomorrow and hit double digits today by those numbers! DH got to feel LO move for the first time last night. His reaction was awesome! Up until now most baby stuff has been pretty run of the mill to him, but this made him really excited!

I am really looking forward to having a tiny little newborn, not so much the far ahead stuff, but DH and FIL are very much planning on having a little child around to teach things to. It is interesting how everybody's thoughts on it all are so different!

I am starting to try to get ready to be in the holiday spirit, since I feel like this December is going to fly by. I have some things picked up for making Christmas gifts, and bought a few more outdoor lights (which we will put up next weekend if the weather allows.)

And we ordered the crib last night! So that is very exciting!

Hooray for ticker changes! Yes, double digits feel totally surreal. Sometimes it sounds like a lot of days- 90+ days is a lot...then I think of all we want to do before then and need to do to get ready- and it seems like it will fly! For now, I just try to love each day!!
