How are the April mommies doing?

Just checking in.... how is everyone?

I'm still feeling pretty good, but sleeping is getting more difficult between the leg cramps and getting up to pee more and more often. Other than that I'm feeling great! And looking big!!!

How are you all feeling?

Re: How are the April mommies doing?

I am feeling great. Yes I totally agree about getting up during the night to pee. I am up at least 5 times. I am feeling the baby move all the time which is SOOOO exciting.

Hope everyone else is doing well.

Re: How are the April mommies doing?

doing good, getting big and ready for this to be over! i know it is suppose to be this great thing but the aches and pains and tiredness and eveything else is just aot and i am over it and just ready to have her here... but all in all is good just achy from everything growing!!!

Re: How are the April mommies doing?

Doing good her too. So far I have gained 16 pounds. On the 30th I go for my 1 hour glucose test and also since I am RH neg - I have to get my rhogam shot. I am starting to get tired again -especially running after a 2 year old all day. But 3 months to go - I know it will fly by!

Re: How are the April mommies doing?

I feel great. Im feeling the baby all the time. Sometimes he's a little mean to his Mommy. He kicks so hard sometimes that I swear he's going to break his own water!!! Other than the frequent potty trips everything is great!!!

Re: How are the April mommies doing?

Feeling good. Moving around more in my sleep, but still sleeping fine. Recently getting the first few strangers to ask when I am due was pretty exciting. Feeling lazy/lost about the whole registry thing. Havn't prepared a nursery yet because we are planning bathroom renovations first. At this rate, not sure if we will have a nursery before the baby arrives - but hopefully soon after if that is the case.

Feeling lots of movement, definitely getting stronger - but less than earlier. I guess the baby is busy growing and sleeping alot.

Can't believe only about 3 months left. Sofar so good!

Re: How are the April mommies doing?

Doing pretty good so far. My major complaint right now is the trips to the bathroom--it's ridiculous. I can't sit at my desk and get anything accomplished because I have to pause and run to the bathroom. Then there's the nightly sprints to the bathroom seeing how wel I can do with the light off and one eye open. The only other thing that's been really bad is I got sick at Christmas and developed a bad dry cough that won't go away because I've irritated my lungs. Doc said is could be weeks or months for it to go away because all the drugs they would prescribe are class C. I might not get rid of this body racking cough tilll after I have the baby and I can finally take something!l

Re: How are the April mommies doing?

SOOOOO EXCITED!!!

Re: How are the April mommies doing?

Doing well - I am up about 21-22 lbs! Must be all that nutritious chocolate the baby has been asking for....


Only 11 more weeks to go

Yes, I pee all night too - plus I feel like I am carrying around a water balloon in my belly - when the baby moves, I feel my whole belly rippling around inside.... LOVE all the movement - the little kicks, turns and hiccups.

I am in love with this baby already - and I never even met him/her! I don't even know whether it is a HIM or HER!!!!

Re: How are the April mommies doing?

Doing good here too.....I am so uncomfortable at night that I probably get about 4 hrs of sleep toal so I am so tired every day! I work on my feet for 8-9 hrs a day so at night my legs are so sore and crampy. I have mt glucose test on monday. I had a growth sono last week and the estimate baby to be 2lbs, 10 oz

Re: How are the April mommies doing?

Doing good. Last nite was a bad nite for me which is odd because I do sleep thru the nite and actually dont have to get up tp pee in middle of nite.
I guess shes treating me well.

I feel her kicking constantly, the best feeling!
Just gadually getting bigger.

I dont see the doc for another 3wks.

Re: How are the April mommies doing?

I am FINALLY starting to feel better...I kept getting cold after cold...then got a severe throat infection that had me in bed with fever for 3 days and lost 5 lbs!...finally the doctor gave me antibiotics and a week later I am doing a little better. My ribs on the other hand are REALLY bad...3 dislocated on the left and 2 on the right!! On a positive note, I passed my 1 hour glucose test, I had a growth sono where the baby measured 2 lbs 7 oz and looked PERFECT, and the baby's furniture came yesterday!! I just can't believe how close we are ladies!!!

Re: How are the April mommies doing?

so far so good... The only bad thing is the lab screwed up my 3 hr glucos test so I have to take it again...

The furniture is all put together in the room....I have been seeing the Dr. every 4 weeks this past week he changed it to every 3..... I can't beleive how quickly this is coming along.....

Re: How are the April mommies doing?

I am definietely peeing more b/c I feel like the baby is kicking my bladder. My appetite has also increased dramatically. I never really had any cravings or extra hunger pains until the 7th month. Now I am craving Oreo's and eating additional meals or going back for seconds. My baby must be growing!

Re: How are the April mommies doing?

At 29 weeks, I am starting to feel huge!! Luckily I am all belly, but it just makes my balance feel off and I know I am waddling already! The tiredness is definitely setting in, and it feels like one of her feet is permanently stuck between my ribs!!

Other than that I feel pretty good and am just excited for her to be here!!
