Re: ******Pregnant After 35 Update*****
Happy New Year !
Updates: How are you feeling? Any events/news to share? New pregnancy symptoms or any that have disappeared?
Everyday when I wake I feel just a little bigger. Belly starting to peek out of some of the maternity shirts. Also getting hard to move about.
Question of the Week: What was your New Year resolution?
I forgot to make one.
I just cried over absolutely nothing. And since I cry like 3 times a year, I'm feeling a little rEdiculous. I think the last time I cried was last May when I found myself in an airport bathroom with bright red blood in my pants, completely freaked out that I was losing the baby. So crying because I still haven't managed to buy a new car to replace the 20yo clunker that I'm not willing to drive the baby around in - yeah, I'm feeling like an idiot. Deep breaths.
Question of the Week: What was your New Year resolution?
To have this baby!
Updates: How are you feeling? Any events/news to share? New pregnancy symptoms or any that have disappeared?
Extreme hunger has set in. Other than that, nothing new here.
Question of the Week: What was your New Year resolution?
I gave up making resolutions a couple of years ago since I never stuck to them anyway.
Updates: How are you feeling? Any events/news to share? New pregnancy symptoms or any that have disappeared?
I am starting to get that done feeling. Something always hurts and my mobility has really decreased as has my energy. ANd my ribs, oh my ribs, this kid has launched a full force assault on my poor ribs. I can't believe he has 4-6 weeks of growing left in there.
Question of the Week: What was your New Year resolution?
Have baby. Stay sane.
Username - calamityeyes
Name - Anne
Due Date - 7/8/2012
We won't find out sex, so surprise!
Update - next appt is Friday to discuss NT results and maybe schedule amnio.
New Years Resolution - be healthy for healthy baby - but that has been the resolution since BFP.
Im feeling not pregnant now, not as tired or as hungry, a few twinges here and there i kinda only know when i look at my belly its def noticable now YAY, i so long to feel baby, i feel like bubbles every now and then but i think its just gas, any day now........
I gave up new years resolutions as i could never stick to them, i would always forget and break it but as pp said, i would say mine is to have this baby and try and be as healthy as i can for our precious miracle!!!
Hope you all had a wonderful holiday and new year!!!!!
first name: Ashley
due date: 9/8/12
sex of baby (TBD)
Updates: So excited to be pregnant with number two. No symptoms at this point but a little tiredness. I hope it lasts! Ha!
Question of the Week: What was your New Year resolution? Don't feed myself anything I don't give to my 13 month old (e.g., soda, sugary treats, empty calories). If my 'outside baby' doesn't need it then neither does my newest baby.
Finally got crib put together and car seat installed! Carpal tunnel pain is now excruciating and I wake up most nights crying (I'm not a cryer, this sucks). Can't sleep for anything. Due to this, I'm feeling DONE. Also starting to feel huge for the first time. 9 is my lucky number, so hoping for the 9th to be the big day.
Totally forgot to make a real resolution this year. Hoping to be at my wedding weight by the end of 2012 (married in 09). Looking at pics I looked pretty darned good then, but of course wasn't satisfied at the time
It's totally doable.
your screen name msualum96
first name (optional) Becky
due date 9/3/12 according to LMP but I think it'll be a bit later
sex of baby (if known, or will it be a surprise?) We will definitely find out
Question of the Week: What was your New Year resolution? Just to be healthy for the baby! Of course, my coworkers will be told my resolution is to give up caffeine...
Updates: How are you feeling? Any events/news to share? New pregnancy symptoms or any that have disappeared?
I'm generally feeling pretty good, but have a headache today and really miss being able to take anything stronger than Tylenol *sigh* Am currently curled up in bed with tiger balm on my neck and temples taking it easy. I notice I am moving more slowly/deliberately of late, but I'm not in any pain or discomfort and don't feel held back. As of this morning, I can still touch my toes!
Question of the Week: What was your New Year resolution?
The only one I posted was to be the best mom I can be. This year is going to bring such a huge change, so I don't feel the need to make any definite improvement plans other than surviving it!
Feeling pretty good. Am getting over yet another sinus infection. Gotta love the things pregnancy gives you.
Had my a/s last wed and everything looking good. Do want me to have a repeat scan in 4w because LO was uncooperative at the end and didn't get great looks at face and heart. Had been feeling some movement for a few days. It has been pretty non-existent today, but trying not to freak out too bad!!
first name (optional) - Anita
due date - August. 15
sex of baby (if known, or will it be a surprise?) - Surprise
Updates: Hopefully morning sickness has gone away. If I can make it past 7:00 without falling asleep, that is a big accomplishment.
Question of the Week: What was your New Year resolution? - None
Updates: How are you feeling? Any events/news to share? New pregnancy symptoms or any that have disappeared?
Other then the low blood pressure kicking me on my butt every once and a while I am feeling great. Baby is doing wonderful. Moving feb 1 and I really am dreading it but cannot wait to be all settled in and ready for our little moose in May
It is kind of different not knowing what little one is so this surprise is going to be the best one I have ever had
Only silly symptoms bothering me are the numb arms and hands when sleeping! Anyone have a remedy for that? It's crazy!! I am back to my little work outs and it actually is starting to feel good. I try to do them at the pt where my blood pressure seems to be at a norm and then after that I am feeling soooo normal again so I keep doing more and more everyday even if it is just a few moves
Question of the Week: What was your New Year resolution?
My new years resolution is to get all settled in our new place, finish off with work at the end of April , have baby and then enjoy a year off!! WOOOOT!! And in that time I can focus on little moose and myself. I am really looking forward to 2012
Howdy!

EDD - 09/08/2012
I think DH wants to know the sex, so I am sure we will find out. :-)
Updates: How are you feeling? Any events/news to share? New pregnancy symptoms or any that have disappeared?
The girls hurt - BAD! Slight queasiness periodically throughout the day, but nothing that is bad...yet! Hopefully, I will be lucky and stay clear of the full blown M/S. Weird pulling sensation mainly on the left side (where I would assume my ovaries would be) and sometimes on the right side too. Mostly gone away though.
Question of the Week: What was your New Year resolution?
Unofficially - stay on track with paying off bills, so maybe one day I can quit my job and be a stay at home mom! :-) Also, like others...bring in a healthy baby to this world in 2012.
Updates: How are you feeling? Hmm...fat, tired, achy.
Any events/news to share? We are in the process of painting the nursery. Baby showers are starting this month, too. I'm feeling crafty with plans to make the crib skirt, curtains, mobile, and diaper stacker. Had the GTT last week - hope I won't hear from my OB anytime soon - that would mean a pass.
New pregnancy symptoms or any that have disappeared? More sleepless nights over the past week. Last night it seemed nearly impossible to find a comfortable position, too. Wow, I'm a bit of a grumpy preggo today...sorry!
Question of the Week: What was your New Year resolution? I did not make a resolution for the New Year...nothing that needs some sort of official recognition as such. I do plan to shape up as quickly as possible once I get the okay after our LO arrives...it will be nice to have my body back!
Updates: How are you feeling? Any events/news to share? New pregnancy symptoms or any that have disappeared?
This baby is a kicker!. I don't think I experienced these kind of kicks until late in the pregnancy with DD#1. Got my first prenatal (doctor-approved) massage. Wow, I didn't know I could have those kinds of knots - lol!
Question of the Week: What was your New Year resolution?
I don't do resolutions.
first name (optional) Michele
due date 6/1/12
sex of baby (if known, or will it be a surprise?) We're having a boy!
Updates: How are you feeling? Any events/news to share? New pregnancy symptoms or any that have disappeared? Feeling pretty good in second tri. Had amnio on the 27th, but still wating for results. Looking forward to feeling LO soon. Starting to get a lot bigger...need to shop for maternity clothes VERY soon.
Question of the Week: What was your New Year resolution? Don't really make resolutions, but this year we're looking for a new house, so getting that taken care of before getting too deep into third tri is a goal.
We had an early sex scan done at 16 weeks so we knew the sex before announcing to family at Christmas. It's a GIRL so now we'll have a "millionaires family" as my Mother informed us; a boy and a girl.
Most of the nausea and ickiness is finally over,though my little Dilly lets me know when she doesn't like something like yesterday that sent me puking a bit....all over our beagle's head. Guess he wanted first dibs on the goodness of a McD hamburger and chai tea
that he stuck his head under me mid puke.
No real NY resolutions other than to lose as much baby weight and pre baby weight as possible from June (When she's born) to December (DISNEY!)

sex of baby (if known, or will it be a surprise?) We are having a boy!!!
Updates: How are you feeling? Any events/news to share? New pregnancy symptoms or any that have disappeared?
Feeling good, baby still bopping about in there, though I notice more wriggling and less popping. Probably getting crowded! Finally have a date/time/place set for our shower, the nursery is getting painted today, and tonight we have our first meeting with our daycare co-op. This weekend is our full day birth/childcare class. Busy busy!
Question of the Week: What was your New Year resolution?
It's going to be such an overwhelming change in our lives this year that the only resolution I made was to be the best mom I can be.
first name (optional) Kristine
due date 08/12/2012
sex of baby (if known, or will it be a surprise?) It will be a suprise when I find out at 18 - 20 weeks, I could never wait until after the baby is born to find out.
Updates: We had our second u/s yesterday (picture is siggy), and baby is measuring at 8w2d and a heart beat of 183 bpm. RE said everything looks great, I start seeing my regular OBGYN on 1/18.
Question of the Week: What was your New Year resolution? I don't make New Year resolutions.
