@paytonpedro totally agree, I think what she meant was that she wanted to enjoy having a bump...she may have said she wanted to be 9 months already but it was more like "I want to see a bump". I get it because for me this may be my first and last and o want to enjoy it all, even with all the discomfort. It's all temporary anyway, and so worth it!
@paytonpedro holy moly! It is amazing how much difference there is person to person In carrying. I dont think i even have a side pic of me at almost 42 weeks....i should remember to take one this time.
I toyed with the idea of having my husband take video during my last labour but didn't do it.... this is for sure the last time and I really think I want video. Is this super weird? Not of the baby coming out of my whoha or anything, but of the moments leading up to and our first momrntsmeeting baby. Truth: this may be influenced by the Kardashian video haha
@wildtot@smashjam I carried very high and all in front! I have no torso, so I show very early! The hip and back pain were nearly unbearable!!
@kissableviv Lol. I’m sure that’s what she meant, but for us who have been at 9 months, it’s not always pleasant. This may very well be my last pregnancy (unless I can convince DH on just one more-unlikely) and i hear you with wanting to enjoy every second! I know that as a ftm I must have said “I can’t wait until...” 100 times during my pregnancy, and this time around I’m definitely trying to savor each part of pregnancy! But, you’ll definitely not catch me saying I can’t wait to be 9 months pregnant. Haha. I was miserable, but this time I do plan on trying to enjoy it more!
@paytonpedro, ditto! I can already see me bitching about the heat, the bump, the aches, you name it! @KatyF0813 I'm having a doula and I may ask her to take some pictures. Personally, I don't think I would want a video, maybe some snippets in between stages? But if that's what you want I'd say go for it!
I've got some great pics of me the day I was induced at 41 weeks. So big.
I had a doula last time who took a bunch of pictures for us, most of which had my nips in them. Which is unfortunate. I don't plan to have one this time but would like some pictures, so I may need to put some thought into that.
@smashjam I was just 2 days shy of 42 weeks when I finally went into labor and have no pics either lol. I literally gained 10 lbs in the last two weeks from eating my misery away. I will dig around to see if I have any, but I was a grumpy mess
I've had a sensitive spot for mom vs dad stress lately. DH is usually awesome and although there was definitely a struggle after DD was born, we hit a stride. There are days that I get ragey still though (let's blame it on the hormones). I work full time as a manager of 15 PM's for a Fortune 500 IT company, pulling 45-50 hour weeks 3 days in office 2 days from home with DD and also have an etsy side thing. DH is a design engineer who loves his job so he often stays late because he's committed/crazy. Just drives me nuts when he acts like his job is more important than mine just because he likes his and I hate mine - like last week we both were busy on critical tasks due that day but I had to shut down and leave to get her at daycare before the $5 a min late fees kicked in and not him. Or yesterday I had to go to the cardiologist for an emergency fit in and he said he would come home to watch DD instead of me taking her but only if I needed him because he had a pile of work. -_- He's a flipping rocket scientist and sometimes he says the dumbest crap.
I never got big with my first...at 8 months people thought I was 4 months pregnant - I'm really tall and tilted backwards so I never really popped...this was me the day we induced at 41W
This is the closest I could find, I was 36 weeks at my cousins baby shower. It’s hard to see how big I am in black. She was 8 weeks behind me, this time she’s 6 weeks behind me again!
Im loving all of these old pics! It is neat to see how different everyone looked!
My random is that mfm put me on insulin today and although I knew it would be coming, Im a bit disappointed in myself. I hope that this will help keep my blood sugar levels where they should be. Side note is I've lost 8lbs already!
