- How are you feeling?
No complaints on how I'm feeling. I feel so much more energetic lately and have actually started running again, which has definitely made me feel better about my expanding tummy.- Best/worst part of being pregnant?
The best part about being pregnant is that my husband is currently spoiling me. The worst part about being pregnant is my husband spoiling me. I'm in for a rude awakening come AprilI haven't formally put one together but I've been thinking a lot about how I want things to go. I definitely want to go natural and have been looking into hypnobirthing. That's kind of it for now.
Christmas is better for me but that's only because I get to celebrate every Christmas with my daughter. In our custody arrangement, I only get every other Thanksgiving with her so every other year I'm a little sad.
We aren't saying just yet but we found out what we are having this past Monday. We are so excited!!!
How are you feeling?
I'm great! Second tri agrees with me. My ofice chair broke out from under me today and I took a pretty bad tumble though. Hurt my tailbone and shoulder, so now my back's sore. But my back has been bothering me this whole pregnancy anyway so it just pissed off an existing problem.
Best/worst part of being pregnant?
Best: Feeling like I have a little secret that's just mine. No one knows this little baby like I do, and I love it.
Worst: Every day I wake up not knowing what my body is going to be like.
Have you thought about your birth plan yet? If so, what's on it?
I was planning on doing everything I could to mak the birth more comfortable, medication-wise, but the more I look into natural birth the better it's looking. I just got Ina May's Guide to Childbirth and am planning on reading it soon.
Which is better: Thanksgiving or Christmas?
Both! Always choose both.
Tell us something exciting that is going on in your life (even if NBR)
Just paid my orientation fee for college! I'm going back to school, baby!
Baby Girl Born: April 2014
If you ask me what I came to do in this world, I, an artist, I will answer you:
•Best/worst part of being pregnant? I love my baby and I'm excited to be pregnant so don't take this wrong...the worst part is people (mostly coworkers) always wanting to talk about it. Only because any other time you're not concerned with me or my life and there are other things that go on besides me being pregnant. Now the best thing would be the excitement of knowing I'll soon have a little shadow to keep me company!
•have you thought about your birth plan yet? If so what's on it? So far all I am 100% sure of is that I want an all natural birth I've said that since before I got married.
•which is better Christmas or thanksgiving? I like turkey day but I feel like I love Christmas. I feel like the whole world is happier around Christmas time I always have lots of good memories.
•tell us something exciting going on in your life (even if NBR). Lol all I got is that I'm having a baby what's more exciting than that?!!!!
October 30, 2011
Best/worst part of being pregnant? The best part is how sweet my dh has become. He is so supportive and so excited to become a father! The worst is the trouble sleeping. My stomach has finally popped and I usually can only sleep on my stomach so it is becoming difficult!
Birth plan? Honestly I haven't put too much thought into it.
Christmas or thanksgiving? Christmas definitely! I love the entire season! Although, I am extremely excited about thanksgiving this year!
Something exciting? This weekend we found out we are having a girl, which is exactly what we both wanted!
Natural miscarriage @ 8 weeks - 3/8/2005
Big Brother "Skippy" born - 2/28/2007
Missed miscarriage - (EDD 3/5/2013) - D&E @ 11 weeks - 8/8/2012
"Hen" (EDD 6/7/2013) - born sleeping @ 19 weeks - 1/15/2013
"G-Unit" born - 4/14/2014 and he's 100% perfection!!
I am feeling so-so. Mornings I am feeling the energy and appetite, later in the evenings it's a guessing game to what symptom it will be for the day.
The best part right now is that I alone can feel my baby girl. The worst part is I had my first experience of RLP, and it hurt like hell all day. Also I wish my other two girls could feel their sister swooshing around in there,
I never have a plan. I hope for natural but go with the flow when the time comes. My previous two were natural, my last I did want a epidural by the time I got to the hospital but it was to late.
Christmas, I love all the decorations, and the ability to make my own.
Not so exciting but a learning experience. I am going through more with this pregnancy then my previous two. A uterine synechiae has me a little upset because we aren't sure how it will affect our baby girl till I hit the 30+ week mark. On another note I am super excited as my 14 yr old gets ready for her solo drum performance in December in school.
better in a lot of ways lately. starting to feel pregnant, not just terrible all the time.
best has to be just knowing this kiddo is growing inside me.
worst is all of the things i can't do anymore (heavy lifting, long days on my feet, etc.)
yep. home water birth.
i like them both for different reasons, but probably christmas more now because we aren't near family to spend either with. this year we are going to see my family 2000 miles away for 2 weeks at christmas!
exciting? um. i'm pregnant? lol. life is just kinda here these days. going away with DH for thanksgiving since we won't have any family here!
