    Spicy food gives the baby hiccups but i can't stay away from curry and kim chi.

    How do you know if the baby has hiccups? I kind of feel like he had them earlier but I'm not sure.

    I never knew I would feel the baby's movements so much in my butt.

    It's weird, right?

    So, just got off the phone with my mom and she kind of broke my heart. She lives 12 hours away so she was crying and telling me how she always thought she'd be able to be with me while I was pregnant and how left out she feels. I miss my family terribly and I try to talk to them every day, but the conversation today made me feel like I'm not doing enough to involve my mom in my pregnancy. For ladies who have family far away: what do you do to keep them involved? Thanks in advance!

    I am officially a D cup again and I hate it.  I love that I am able to feed my children so well, but coming from a 32/24A to a 38D is an adjustment...and last time I got up to 40DD at my biggest!  I'm not gaining as much weight this time around, so I hope they don't get that big again.  I hate big boobs.  When I'm done nursing, I'm saving up for a boob job.  A nice B cup would make me super happy.

    I email pics and stuff, but it's not my burden to bear. Being far apart is hard for everyone, and I don't lay guilt on her thus I expect the same.

    Good point, thank you. I don't think she was trying to make me feel guilty, distance is just really hard. I'm going to try to send more pictures. I don't feel like I'm changing much day to day, but if it makes her happy and only takes a few seconds, why not?

    I just scored a Thomas the Tank Engine train table set for $250, almost $600 worth of stuff!!!  The table itself isn't an official train table, but it all works, it's low enough the kids can play on it, and it has storage bins underneath it.  I am sooooo excited!  It's an early birthday present for C, but she loves the one at Barnes and Noble, so hopefully she'll play with it often...and if she doesn't, I will, lol!

    My family lives in Wisconsin and Virginia.  I'm in North Dakota.  The thing they (mom and brother) look forward to the most is HDBD!  I've sent them the same pic that I post on here each week and they love seeing the bump/LO growing. My mom is also privy to bare belly pics, but I promise not to post them on here. If I forget to send it to them, on Wednesday, I'll get a text that says, "where's the bump?". I also text them pics of the nursery progress.  Each time I put together a piece of furniture or hang something on the wall, I snap and pic and send it.  That is the only way that I've really been able to keep them involved.

    Thank you, I'm definitely going to start doing this. I'm awful at taking pics of myself but I'm going to recruit my SO to help me :)

    I have the 'mybabybeat' app and using it you can record baby's heartbeat - and send it if you want. I use it all the time, love to hear baby, not just feel the movements. 
    The app is $4.99 on iTunes and I'm sure the family would love to hear LO.

    Newborn clothes are so tiny!! I didn't realize until I got pregnant that they fit some babies up to 8lbs. I haven't bought much new Nb size but I do have some hand-me-downs. They are to cute!!

    I love this!

    I send out a weekly email to all my family on Thursday, my ticker change day. It tells them what the babies are doing, how I'm feeling, includes any pics, growth scan info and upcoming appts. It started with just a handful of people and now there's 12 on the 'mailing list' and they're all pretty serious about it haha.

    My poor dog has been suffering from allergies for the past 8 months. We were at the point that only steroids seemed to clear her up and give her some relief so the vet gave us a referral to a dog dermatologist. We had our first appointment a month ago and walked out feeling 90% sure it was a food allergy. The poor pup has since lost 3lbs, has an ear infection and we have to unseal her eyes every morning from all the gunk build up and the scratching is out of control. She is literally in the worst shape I have ever seen her in. So made another appointment for the dermatologist to try to figure out a different food trial since this was one was clearly not working. He has since decided it's not a food allergy and did a mini allergy test yesterday. Turns out my dog is allergic to people and cat dander!! Sorry about rambling but this just seemed just to crazy not to share!

    @laurelyn2012 I am totally floored that your dog is allergic to people! What can you do?

    He said it was starting to become more common and they are starting to see it in younger dogs starting at the age of 3 months.  Mind you this is only his second case so he seemed a bit shocked as well when she reacted so quickly to it.  4.5 is the highest rating in his allergy scale and the spots showed a 4.5 reaction in a matter of minutes.  The best thing for her is avoidance so no sleeping in our bed and she gets to wear a tshirt.  Also we start her on allergy shots next week which hopefully will help her greatly and maybe make her immune to it in a few years time.  I'm happy that we finally have some answers after spending a crap load of money, I just wish it wasn't the one we received since she is my little cuddle monster :(

    I know there is a maternity picture topic, but I am going to post here. What the hell does one wear in those pictures? I am doing two outfits. Probably jeans and some sort of top, obviously, and the other I am not sure. I thought a dress but I am not comfortable with my legs and they are WHITE so I don't want to blind anyone. Then I thought maybe colored skinny jeans? Is that still in fashion? If I could find an outfit to double as maternity picture outfit and baby shower outfit that would be awesome.

    So much for the "well at least you'll have the baby before it gets too hot" thing.  It's going to be 97* today.  Luckily, it is supposed to go back down to the 80's by next week, but still...I'm not ready for 100+ temps quite yet...

    @ricecakes1216 what about a maxi dress?  That way no white legs and they show off the bump nicely.

    @wareagle1220 yup its my Boston.  She is basically appearance wise exactly what we described as not wanting lol.  We wanted a 20 - 30lb dog who wasn't dress up material.  She has never weighed more then 13lbs and now gets to rock clothing every day.  Its a good thing she has an amazing personality that I wouldn't change for anything.

    @laurelyn2012 Wow, I am so sorry that you are dealing with that. I have never heard of a dog being allergic to people, but I'm glad there are some options. I understand how difficult that would be to not snuggle with your doggy :(

    I took DD to her very first dentist appointment today. Poor girl has inherited my horrible teeth gene. She's only 2 and already has 2 cavities on her 2 top front teeth. Because of her age she's going to have to be put under when they do the fillings. I think I might cry. Well actually I did cry. DD has my teeth, which means she has very soft enamel, so even though we brush twice a day, no bottles or anything in the bed with her at night, limit her sweets intake, etc, she's still extremely prone to cavities. :(

    That sucks, I'm sorry!  Take peace in knowing you are doing everything that you can to prevent them!  My niece had to be put under at the age of 4 to get all four front teeth pulled, six cavities filled, and caps put on her back teeth because they were so bad...because at the age of four, my ex-SIL was still co-sleeping and letting her BF in the middle of the night, so she was constantly falling asleep with milk on her teeth!  Poor little bug.  Fingers crossed your LO does well with the fillings!

    @Rosebud2587‌ I'm sorry about your daughter! I always had a ton of dental problems even though I brushed and flossed the same as my siblings! I hope she does well.

    @Lilygrace48‌ nighttime nursing doesn't cause cavities or tooth decay. Falling asleep at the breast is not the same as falling asleep with a bottle.
