Re: AUGUST mommies check in

107 more days!!

We came up with a short list of names, but definitely leaning towards one or two of them. It's been tough figuring out a name for this little girl.

DH just finished installing the closet system and the room is all painted. We ordered our furniture, but have a while until we can pick it up.

is extremely active! I'm feeling good, but have been feeling more tired than usual since hitting 24 weeks. I have a dr. appointment today so i'm going to let him know about that.

Due 8/16, but I'm in FL so i'm sure nobody will be at the same hospital as me. Thanks for reminding me, i want to sign up for some of those classes at the hospital and the tour.

Re: AUGUST mommies check in

Feeling 1000 times better now that I went to a specialist about my asthma and they started me on a new inhaler , i can BREATHE again

Re: AUGUST mommies check in

Hi Girls,

I am due 8/17 and will be delivering @ South Nassau.

Nursery is painted, and furniture is ordered it should be delivered in about 1 month!!

I am going to register us for infant CPR and I'll take an intro to breastfeeding class in June.

I am feeling great! I haven't worn any maternity pants yet - but think that will change over the next few weeks....
Looking forward to shopping with Mom for a few maternity items ....
Baby was moving around like crazy for a few days last week - but has quieted down these past few days.... little spurts here and there.

As for names - we are leaning towards some - but the search still continues.

I am getting really excited

Re: AUGUST mommies check in

Doing and feeling really well!!
The bedrest is killing my back the last couple days, but that's my only complaint.
BabyMack is moving all over and kicking like a champ. We have a name...but are saving it.
Nursery is painted and furniture has been picked out. DH's family is ordering it when they come up to NY in June...since they are buying it for us.
Gained about 10 pounds so far, which is good since I wasn't exactly skinny before getting PG and I can't eat a whole lot on Bedrest.
And we are due 8/12 and delivering at Good Sam

Re: AUGUST mommies check in

Hi Ladies,

Feeling great, actually never felt better Our will be Jason (Jake) but will be called JJ after his daddy Baby is very calm & collected. Went to the OB the other day bc I have yet to feel him, but she said he is just lazy.....Gained 21lbs so far

Nursery will be cleaned out this weekend as my mom is coming in from OOS to help but we know the room will be blue & DH will start on it the end of May. Furniture is on order & scheduled to be delivered in July.

I will be registering this weekend at both BBB & BRU. I can't wait. Shower is planned for 6/27 at my house

I am due 8/26 & will be delivering @ either Mercy or South Nassau

Re: AUGUST mommies check in

Hey! I really can't complain. My ankles are swelling and I physically can't say I feel 100% myself, but I am honestly at the point where I am so excited it doesn't bother me yet. I am dreading the hot summer, but flip flops and sundress should get me through it! I've gained 13 lbs so far too.

We picked out bedding and we are going to start the nursery in the next few weeks. We are going to order the furniture once we have a confirmation date on when our handyman can paint and put up molding for us.

We picked out a name for our but we're keeping it a secret. Originally we were going to have a junior, but we decided not to.

Delivering at Winthrop - due date 08/28

119 more days to go!

Re: AUGUST mommies check in

Hey ladies -

Doing well...

Due August 19th, delivering at North Shore Manhasset..we are team and really having fun with everyone guessing...so far we have more girl guesses

Feeling good and have gained about 11 lbs so far...no ankle swelling yet..i am sure that will come..the commute into the city is starting to take it's toll a little..mainly the 6 train...i literally have to push my way on and off the whole time holding my belly for protection...people are insane =)

the baby has been very active lately and my mom and DH got to feel some kicks tue night...we went for a sono on monday and the dr could not get a good shot because he said 'this bugger won't stop moving"..hope that is not a sign of what is to come as a toddler..hee hee =)

We signed up for classes, picked up our bedding and are going this weekend to look at furniture...shower is set for 6/27 so i registered and we are going to be painting nursery soon..

Can't belive how fast it is coming =)!!

Re: AUGUST mommies check in

Hi!

is doing good, thankfully feeling a lot of movement now, can see it if i watch my belly sometimes!

due 8/11..but I feel huge already. I'm in NJ, delivering at Overlook in Summit.

name - we think he will be a Junior but still trying to pick a 2nd name too (as a backup)

Looking at registering for the maternity tour, breastfeeding classes and childbirth.

Feeling lots of weird twinges..maybe just pressure and the way he is laying It's all new to me.

As for the room, I started to clean out some things so we can get started painting etc. Haven't been furniture shopping yet - need to go SOON!

Shower invites are out - getting really excited for that!

Re: AUGUST mommies check in

I'm doing ok. I have been suffering with bad allergies the past few days. But other than that I've been good. I have only gained 8lbs. My next appointment is the 11th so we'll see what happens then:)

As far as the nursery....She will be sharing a room with her big brother...its a pretty big room so they will fit just fine. I picked out bedding that will blend in to the demin paint we have on the walls.

We decided on Isabella Rose for our little peanut.
I will be delivering at LIJ, I'm due 8/21...but would like to go early....MY ds was 10lbs sooo....I don't want to do that again!

Re: AUGUST mommies check in

Hey all!

Due at the beginning of August and feeling really good. Almost at the third trimester! Wow, did that go fast! We know we're having a girl, but we're keeping the name a secret.

I doubt anyone is delivering at the same place I am, as we're having a home birth... and we are well on our way to getting prepared for that. We've just started taking a hypnobirthing class, which so far has been awesome and I'm slowly working on gathering everything we need to birth at home.

The nursery is coming along. We have all the decor and all the furniture has been ordered. The crib comes tomorrow, which I'm thrilled about! Our co-sleeper and glider should arrive soon as well.

I'm having two showers (one for each side of the family since DH's fam is from upstate NY). One is May 9th and the other is the 16th. I'm sure once those happen preparing the nursery will kick into high gear.

My midwife doesn't make me track my weight, which I'm happy about. Keeping track of every pound stresses me out. I feel good, and I like the way I look in the maternity clothes I have, so that's enough for me!

Glad to see that everyone is doing well!

Re: AUGUST mommies check in

Doing good here. Baby girl is kcking me as i type. She doesn't move or kick much but it's nice when she does.

Nursery is getting there. We did the paitning last week and set up the crib Sunday which the largest piece was broken and Graco sent us a new piece and that piece is from 2 years ago and isn't for an older version of our crib so they have to send us another piece. Hopefully soon we will have the crib done so I can start putting the bedding on and painting the dresser.
Our little girl will be Lauren Elizabeth. We have had that name picked out since i was 6 weeks. We really like it. Nice and classic and not too popular.

I will be delivering at Eastern Maine Medical Center in Bangor, Maine. The only hospital my OB delivers and and figured it's 30 minutes from my house. Hoprfully we make it there when i got into labor. We shall see.

Re: AUGUST mommies check in

Hiii! Doing very well here - due 8/12 (but i suspect i'll go early), delivering at either Stony Brook or St Catherines, depending on the circumstances. (if scheduled C, it'll def be SB.) I'm feeling well - lost 22 lbs from all the morning sickness, and gained 4-5 back, so I'm sitting at a loss of approx 17 lbs so far.

Our little will be Logan Paul.

The nursery is coming along. The crib was ordered approx 4-5wks ago, should be in soon. The dresser, glider and area rug are already in place! We also have a loveseat in there - it doesn't fit anywhere else in the apt at this time.

Baby clothes are multiplying by the minute - we got BAGS of hand-me-downs. They're all in a rubbermaid tote on the floor for now.

I feel HUGE these past few days. Absolutely huge. I'm all out front.

I haven't registered for any classes yet - i feel a little behind. maybe i'll make some calls on my lunch break today.

Re: AUGUST mommies check in

Hey all August mommies!
I am doing really good, I really can't complain about this pregnancy aside from the usual body changes that come with it, that's all new to me!

we picked the nursery color, my brother should be painting within the next 2 weeks. Furniture should be in June some time and right now I am helping my mom and sister throw my shower (i hate surprises)

Our names are Reilly Logan for a and Joseph Thomas for a

So far from my last visit i was up 16 lbs. I stopped weighing myself but have been exercising. I go next thursday so we will see how much i've gained then. I haven't registered for anything except the tour of the maternity ward! I am bad and need to get on that, I am sure it will be all packed by the time I am ready for it!

Delivering at South Nassau Community Hospital, due 8/23/09!

Re: AUGUST mommies check in

I'm doing ok.
I'm due 8/5 and delivering at Good Sam

We are team and I'm loving not knowing if I have a son or daughter! My family on the other hand really wants to know. Only 97 days!!

Super tired and my feet are swelling and I'm def not feeling 100% myself. I'm up 24 pounds!

As for names, we have a and name picked out. So we are ready to go on that!!

My little peanut is kicking up a storm and I love it! Not getting much sleep and its def taking a toll on me. Can't wait till June 26th when schools done!!

Our little peanut will be in our room for a few months. We live with my parents I there house in the apartment and my dad and DH will start fixing up the extra room downstairs in july. We have all our furniture but not put together yet.

Have no clue when my shower is. I hate surprises!! But I'm all registered!!

We will be doing our breastfeeding and lamaz classes the 1st week of July. I'm excited for that

Re: AUGUST mommies check in

Hi August mommies!!

Due 8/4, but I suspect I'll go early due to his size. I'm doing pretty well. Not sleeping much since is constantly kicking and he's getting so strong!

We've picked a name and he's going to be a junior -- Christopher (CJ for short).

Our nursery is coming along. We have to paint this weekend but the furniture and decor is all sitting here waiting to be set up.

I'm all registered and my shower is May 24th Already watching things disappear off of it (and received a few big things at our front door!).

...definately getting to the point of being ready for him to come!

Re: AUGUST mommies check in

Feeling pretty good, although I can feel the exhaustion coming back. I'm good for 1 major activity a day lately, any more, and I can't make it to 9 p.m.

We haven't decided on a name for yet, but do plan to by the time we leave the hospital. :) I feel her kick all the time, mostly at night. DH gets such a thrill out of it, it's pretty cool.


The nursery is getting there, but not done; the furniture is ordered, but not here.

I'm due 8/20 at NSUH Manhasset - I think there are a few of us due around the same time all giving birth there. I'm getting very anxious and impatient!
