August Mommies! How are we all doing!?

For me, I'm ready for this baby! LoL my feet look like balloons, my back is killing me and I don't get much sleep at night because I'm so uncomfy Pregnancy is showing its ugly side to me and I still have what 103 days left

I'm NOT looking forward to the warm weather and being pregnant either!

I am though LOVING my little ones kicks!! that always puts a smile on my face and makes me remember how well worth all this pain is!!!

How is everyone eles doing!? Hope well!!

Re: August Mommies! How are we all doing!?

I am doing very well Still waiting for this little one to give me at least one kick or a poke but I guess he is just so lazy.....

My foot swelled up for the first time yesterday but I did a nice 10 minute walk on the treadmill & slept only on my left side last night & GONE! It did the trick!

Sleep is good, I actually only get up 1-2 times a night but the mornings are getting harder & harder to get up! I can't wait to go register next weekend with my mom & then take my last vaction the end of May

Just said to DH last night, I can't wait to meet our little slugger, I just want to see who he looks like!

Re: August Mommies! How are we all doing!?

I am doing good! I am feeling wonderful - my belly is starting to pop. I am have noticed that when I eat more than I should I am uncomfortable, that's for sure. I need to cut down on my portion sizes....

This past week I am back to small boughts of insomnia - up at 4 am on the button - like clockwork.

Just started feeling kicks 2 days ago, and actually saw my belly move last night. Its crazy b/c as of 2 weeks ago - I barely and rarely felt (or noticed) any movement.

By the time Mothers Day is here I will be at about 100 days - I am thinking that once I reach the double digits - I am gonna start realizing how quick the summer is gonna go....

Glad we are all in this together - best wishes August Mommies

Re: August Mommies! How are we all doing!?

Good!!!! I can feel the baby a lot now. I also have a little belly, so I don't just look chubby anymore.
the cramping has pretty much gone away. I have more energy now, but when I get sleepy, I get REALLY sleepy and itchy too. I have some insomnia on and off and I've been getting little waves of nausea every once in a while. My ankles get a little swollen by the end of the day and I have some on and off pelvic pain. The dr said that was totally normal, a little early, but normal.

Now, the good news!!...

We know we're having a baby boy and we're starting to get ready. We finished our registry (yeay!!) and we've started to work on the baby's room. It is starting to hit me that this baby is really coming! I can't wait!

I hope we all have quick and comfortable summers while we wait for our little 's!!!!

Re: August Mommies! How are we all doing!?

100 days to go for me as of today (4/24)

I'm doing well and feeling great. I found out today that I passed the 1 hour glucose test I can't believe I'm rounding the corner into the 3rd trimester

Re: August Mommies! How are we all doing!?

109 days to go here

and I can honestly say I feel GREAT! The best I've felt in 6 months. I had a great 24wk appt, next appt (for glucose) is 28wks.

The PROS:
*I definitely LOOK pregnant now
*the baby kicks and moves allll dayyy longgg and I love every second of it
*my acne has calmed down
*my puking is done by 8am
*I haven't had an ounce of swelling (even after walking for hours!)
*baby's room is starting to come together

I'm getting a mani/pedi and haircut tomorrow, so I'm sure I'll feel even better after that!

Re: August Mommies! How are we all doing!?

Doing good here! Hard adjusting to the constant itching all over, the insomnia that causes me to get about 4 hours of sleep every night and the back pain. But feeling kick makes it all worth while! DH and i are just worried about her kidney problem that is being monitored, but other than that, we are good. The painting in the nursery is done and we are putting the crib together tomorrow!!
I have to agree, i am ready for this baby, i feel like i am going to burst at the seems!

109 days!! That number is getting so small!!

Re: August Mommies! How are we all doing!?

I'm feeling great!!! I feel like i'm getting a lot bigger though in the last few days and my belly button is getting very shallow, it's definitely going to pop out.

For the first time I felt a little swollen yesterday pretty much all day, I think I ate too much salt and didn't drink enough water though.

We're working on 's room, DH is almost done putting in the closet system, it's already painted and the furniture is ordered (but not being picked up for a while).

My next appointment is Thursday, my doc wanted to see me in 2 weeks instead of 4 b/c my BP had gone up a bit from the last appointment.

113 days!

Re: August Mommies! How are we all doing!?

103 days left here.

I'm feeling great. I've had really bad reflux for the last week or 2 and the itching has been insane, but other than that it really has been the perfect pregnancy! (knock on wood! lol)

My belly is definitely making it harder to do things, but i love it. She kicks alll day and all night long, does flips- its the best feeling.

I took the 1 hour glucose 2 weeks ago and passed (though, my H&H was really low, so i've started an iron supplement).

I've noticed that i've been waddling by the end of my shift, but that's after being on my feet for 13 hours straight, and to be honest, i was probably waddling at that point in the night before i was PG too, though

DH and i was just saying yesterday that we can't believe that in 15 WEEKS... we're going to be PARENTS. It just seems so much more real now.

Still waiting for the porn-star boobs. Other than that, things are great!

Re: August Mommies! How are we all doing!?

103 days here and feeling really good!

Midwife says all is well with the little one. I feel her kick up a storm every day, which I've been lucky enough to feel since about week 16. It's certainly getting more pronounced and frequent now though.

Overall, the last 2 months or so have been really great - especially since I've been back at the gym. Makes such a difference in my life!! I'm lucky that I'm not experiencing any swelling, insomnia or even middle of the night peeing. My biggest trouble is that I have to eat every 2 hours or so or else I get really sick to my stomach and light headed. But I have to watch the portions, though - too much and I'm unhappy the rest of the day. It's a balancing act I haven't quite mastered yet.

We start Hypnobirthing class on Monday which I'm real excited about. And I just ordered our birthing kit (we're having a homebirth). Plus, our crib is being delivered on Friday. For some reason, all of those things have made arrival seem more real than ever.

I'm psyched for the warm weather to get here so I can wear the cute summer maternity outfits I bought. We just moved back here from Houston and the majority of my stuff is summery (both maternity & non). So I've been squeezing my expanding body into the few wintery pre-preggo things I own that I have NO business squeezing into! Hooray for higher temps and clothes that fit!!

Glad to hear that all you mamas are doing well!

Re: August Mommies! How are we all doing!?

Feeling good here. The morning sickness is over, i look pregnant and do not have any negative side effects right now. So I am just enjoying it. I am at 24 weeks, going for my glucose test tomorrow. Baby kicks all of the time. I love it.
I sleep good through the night, get up maybe once to pee. I do get very tired when I do too much, but anything is better than when i was really sick.

Good luck girls.

Re: August Mommies! How are we all doing!?

Doing great! Had a great checkup this past week...continuing the bedrest (maybe outside today with this beautiful weather) and keeping this baby where he belongs.
I feel pretty good, but discovered the wonders of Maalox last night, so sleeping was not an issue. Baby is moving all the time and as of this week, DH has been able to feel him.
108 days left!!!
