Re: September Mommies-to-be Thread

i am doing well... moves around like crazy now, and some days i think he is actually trying to escape! once DH found out we were having a boy, he registered for anything yankee-related he could get his hands on at BRU. it was very cute actually

he has been measuring "ahead" at nearly every appointment so far - not enough for the dr to change my due date but enough that i think there is a chance i won't go 40 weeks. but that's just my mommy instinct

i have my second level II appointment scheduled for 5/8 to get some more heart measurements, but so far everything is looking good. i am still amazed at this pregnancy... i am not a spiritual person by any means, but i feel blessed every single day.

Re: September Mommies-to-be Thread

I'm 19 weeks as of tomorrow... I feel great. but I am officially scared..... I hate to say it, but it's becuase of all of the horrible news posted on this board this week

This tuesday is our level II. We're really excited to find out what Crouton is... but I'm also scared they'll find something wrong . Why am I such a nervous mom-to-be?

Overall I feel very good. I've had some minor cramping over the last couple weeks, I think a few were round ligament pains, and the majority was due to gas I've been sleeping better than usual. I still don't feel anything truly distinctive of a baby kick (I attribute everything to gas ) I can't wait to feel a definite kick.....

Re: September Mommies-to-be Thread

Everything great so far...baby is measuring tall...DH is 6"3" so maybe she will inherit his height...

I have been feeling very little kicks in the lower region alot lately....

We are going to BBB to register tomorrow!!! I am so excited!!!

I am hugeeeee!...I feel like I am anyway but I love it!!!

Painer is coming on Monday to paint the nursery....We're doing orange and yellow...I'll post pics once done!

Re: September Mommies-to-be Thread

I'm 19 weeks..and everything is good so far...I feel the baby here and there...I found out yesterday that I'm having a girl

Re: September Mommies-to-be Thread

I am 21 weeks today and have also been feeling the baby a lot lately. It is the absolute best feeling! We are still waiting on the results from the Level 2, we had to go back a 2nd time so they could get the heart since the baby wasn't cooperating. Overall I am feeling really good and don't feel that big. We still have to paint the nursery and put down floors, and go to bru and register. Can't wait for only 19 weeks to go!!

Re: September Mommies-to-be Thread

I am 19 weeks and feel pretty good, still some morning sickness though. I also feel nervous because of all the bad news on here lately, I suddenly feel like I"m not in the clear. I feel the baby moving and kicking away like a crazy person! DH actually felt the baby kick yesterday for the first time! my level II is next week.

Re: September Mommies-to-be Thread

I am 22 weeks and feeling pretty good. My back hurts every once in a while. I have my next appt May 13 and they are going to measure my belly

I feel thumping around. It's neat becaue it just comes out of nowhere. I mostly feel it at night or after I eat a big meal. The other night he was thumping all over the place, I told him hey no practicing your baby UFC moves in there. And he calmed down a little

A friend of mine just had her baby boy the other day and it's really getting me excited that this little nut will be here in a few short months

Re: September Mommies-to-be Thread

22w2d, feeling her all the time and lovig it. I fele great, I love being pregnant. DH finally felt her kick this morning but this weekend I am too saddened by what is going on on these boards and I just can't stop thinking of everyone. My heart aches for them and it was a true realization to cherish each kick, live in the moment, and recognize howlucky and blessed I am for everything to be going well.

Re: September Mommies-to-be Thread

20 weeks and 2 days today. Still feeling great although I have been getting heartburn quite often. Had our level 2 on Friday and everything looks good although the pictures aren't as clear as they'd like so we have to go back in 2 weeks. The sono tech said she is 70% sure its a ! I have a dr apt this Friday and am going to BEG her to try to confirm... Tech also said baby is VERY active. I have been feeling more movement lately although DH hasn't felt anything yet. Hopefully soon!

to all who need it this week!!

Re: September Mommies-to-be Thread

I finally bought some nursery items. A dresser and shelving unit

Someone gave me Little Tikes bath toys that are little Yellow Submarines !!

Going to make them into my mobile for the baby

News lately here is so sad.

Just grateful my baby is kicking and healthy

Re: September Mommies-to-be Thread

So how is everone doing???? I am 25w1d today and feeling good. I think some exhaustion is coming back I hope it's just because I've been doing too much. Also, my back is really starting to hurt but other than that I am totally inlove with this baby and feeling her move. I think I am going to start reading to her this week. So what's the concensus on people knowing about their showers? I know about mine. July 27th I am so excited

How are the rest of us doing????

Re: September Mommies-to-be Thread

I am 22 weeks 2 days and finally I felt kicking up a storm last night !! M exhaustion never went away. Trying to take walks everynight 2-3 miles so I keep my weight down any extent I can. Myshower is the same day, July 27th!

Re: September Mommies-to-be Thread

I'm 22 weeks tomorrow......

Crouton does flips everytime I consume a teaspoon of sugar It's so reassuring to feel him regularly and know he's ok in there...

I'm drinking TONS of liquids 4L a day or MORE It's ridiculous.

And the other momentous event? NO MORE CONSTIPATION yay!

other than that, the crib is assembled, the stroller is assembled, and we SWEAR we'll do the changing table area next weekend! (We keep procrastinating...)

3 week business/ babymoon trip to europe from late june to mid july... I hope I survive it!

Re: September Mommies-to-be Thread

Hi all!

I'm 22w 4 days and feeling great! Although I'm under the weather at the moment.
But I'm finally feeling kick and DH finally felt her the other night. She is super active at night, and will usually give me a few kicks during the day if I eat or drink something yummy.
Going for a dr's appt on Tuesday, not sure but I'm assuming we will schedule my glucose test.

Crib is assembled and the dresser just came in. room is painted...just starting to recieve some things off the registry (I'm not having a shower...being in NC and I can't travel past june ) Kinda bummed about it, but can't change anything.
I'm looking forward to my last day of work June 10th, so I can enjoy my summer and being pregnant and get prepared and organized for our little one!

Re: September Mommies-to-be Thread

Wow you girls are good! So far we have done NOTHING for the baby's room

Re: September Mommies-to-be Thread

We have not done anything with the baby's room yet either. 25 weeks, feeling the baby kicking and punching. We took the glucose test...not much fun Feeling a bit tired and tossing and turning trying to get comfy at night, but overall feeling ok. Next doctors apt June 11th. Hope all my Sept mommies are feeling good!!

Re: September Mommies-to-be Thread

feeling great.... 's room is painted...bright orange and yellow!!!

Im feeling baby move regularly now...going for glucose test on Tuesday and next doctors appt on Thursday....

Furniture is ordered and will be here late August....I am slowly buying things here and there for her room...

My shower is June 28th....so excited!!!

Hope all my fellow Sept. mommies are doing well....

Re: September Mommies-to-be Thread

HI! I'm 24 weeks and a few days!! Feeling good, was moving like crazy last night.

I have done nothing in the nursery because DS is still in it... looks like we might be able to move him next weekend. Then I can get the nursery back together.
I did get a wonderful changing table from free-cycle this weekend (putting it upstairs in the master bedroom)

I'm not having a shower that I know about (this is baby #2)


Feels like its been forever since I had a dr. appt. (last one was right after level II) don't have another appt. until Early June. I have no idea when my glucose test will be.

Re: September Mommies-to-be Thread

I am a little over 22 weeks and I am feeling pretty good. I've been having some pelvic pain from my bones softening and shifting but other than that I don't have much to complain about. We had our Level II and everything is great with the baby so that was a relief. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE feeling the baby moving around. It's the coolest feeling. I can't wait for my DH to feel the kicks from the outside.

Some things have been bought off my registry even though it's not for a while. I don't know when it is though, everyone is being hush hush about it. So annoying!! The baby room is almost done. We painted, installed the new window and door trim as well as the chair rail. My DH just has to put up the crown moulding and then all we have left to do is get new carpet installed. We're ordering the furniture in the next few weeks too so the room should be done and furnished by the end of July.

Overall, everything is going great and we're just so excited for this baby to make his/her arrival. At least we'll get a better look at him/her next week when we have our 3D/4D sono on Sat. That should be great!! Hope you're all feeling good too!!!

The crib is in it's box and DH will put that together in July. FIL and his wife are getting us the armoir but havent ordered that yet.

Anything else?: Very tired. I tie my sneakers and need a nap. I can't see anything below my boobs. If something falls on the floor it's staying there. I dropped my keys and actually waited for someone to walk by so I could ask them if they could pick it up for me.

sigh. we have a first name... no middle name yet.

if the techie is wrong about the gender (we only saw a brief flash of the parts), we're in trouble! no girl names at all.

Have you even STARTED the nursery?:
The crib is assembled and in place. The changing table is still in the box.... why? well, first we need to make room for the changing table in our walk-in closet (we're in a 1 BR apt). The closet seemed like the best place since we could turn on the light, change Crouton, and let the other parent try to sleep through it....
It's only been half decluttered at this point

I have to say my favorite part is feeling the baby kicking, she is very active late at night before bed. I will most likely be adjusting to a new sleep schedule when she arrives!
