How awful, poor little girl, I hope and pray she has a happy ending.

I have an email friend in the Navy who is stationed in Japan right now and his wife passes along all the emails, I always thought it was funny that I get the baby/mommy emails from him and the really good jokes too.

(((((((((((((Lizz)))))))))))))) I guess I was lucky, I only had a few mornings where I felt like I had the flu and never really had morning sickness.

braggin, cause the boy if so frikkin smart :p

it just started pouring rain here and my little guy asked if he could go out. i said, nah...we're not gonna run around in the rain today, so he replies, can we walk? and i laugh and say no buddy, i like your logic but not today and he says, okay, i'll only stand still then.

i can only hope he will choose to use his powers for good instead of evil. :D

My kids tell a story about playing outside in the rain in a hurricane.

<~~~~bad mother


In my defense, we were floating boats out the back door:D

I hope we aren't floating boats our our back door come hurricane season here :rofl: I'll be high tailing out of this place! :p

update: i hope he makes it to an age where he can decide between good and evil ... i walked in the door after putting the trash at the curb to find him surfing the stairs in a laundry basket. :eek:

Tell him the big cookie sheets work better then the basket. :D

*waddles in*

I'm not even that big yet at all, and my feet and back are killing me. It's so awful. I bought new shoes last night thinking maybe that was my problem...but no, it wasn't.

I had a doctor's appt this morning and she informed me that it was normal and fairly common, which after discovering the shoes didnt help..I figured that was the answer.

Ladies, what did/do you do to help?

I didn't get foot pain but I got back pain early on.....I thought that would come once I was big, but for me it was in my first and early second trimester. To be honest, there's not much you can do but be patient. The good thing about pregnancy is the majority of the niggles don't last for the full 9 months.

Everyone I spoke to when I was PG agreed that they felt better after about 16 weeks or so.

Try warm baths and staying off your feet as much as possible will help. ((((((((((((hugs)))))))))))





My little man had more shots today - he cried a little bit at the time, but was the only baby to leave the treatment room smiling! He's Mummy's special soldier! :D :D

this sounds SO much like something my 3 1/2 yr old would do! At this moment, he's using the couch as a trampoline/diving board. Our poor furniture won't survive. :rolleyes2

kids are crazy, and i have no idea where they get their crazy ideas. i mean, i'd never show a two year old how to ... say ... dive off the bed onto a pile of pillows, or laugh when he crawls in the dryer and shuts the door. and i know my husband would never show an innocent six year girl old how to burn things with a magnifying glass. that would be stupid. :blink:

My youngest did that too. He was wearing a helmet made out of k'nex at the time. When asked "did you really think that would protect your beautiful little brain?" he replied "it's not supposed to...it just looks cool". That's my boy! lmao

He learned from that conversation though. He was wearing a helmet when he went zooming down our driveway sitting in an old office chair. :rolleyes:

When my mom was a little girl they lived in a house where the roof slanted in the back (old fashioned house, two story in the front but not in the back so if you looked at the house from the back it looked like ^ ). She says they used to take a garbage can lid up there and slide off the roof on it when her parents weren't home. It's a wonder she's not dead :rofl:

The worst I ever did was ride my bicycle down an extremely steep hill into a barbed wire fence.....lol
Luckily, I hit the wooden post and not the barbed wire ;)

My entire back yard is a hill. The kids used to get on this huge Fischer Price car and roll down it at breakneck speed towards the back patio and the sliding glass door. Scared the hell out of me.

Today was the 12 week ultrasound scan and the little guy/gal is very energetic! S/He kept moving around and waving at us. Mayhem is such a proud Daddy! The due date is now set at the 23rd of December, however I don't expect that s/he will make his/her arrival until the 26th. My other kids were born on the 26th of the month that they were due.

I know that women aren't supposed to feel movement yet, but I believe that I have been feeling this active little one for a few weeks now :D

:hump: :boink: :molest: :buttsex: :bjhappy: :slurp: :boobs: :69:

It is most definately the second trimester for me! I am so horny ALLLLLL the time! I want orgasm after orgasm, and with pregnancy, I become multi-orgasmic as well!

*SIGH* it's most definitely the 3rd tri for me--only a little over a week left til my 38 wk c/s. I want to have sex SO bad..but, alas, it's one of my bed-rest restrictions.

(((((((((((Lizz)))))))))))) I just hope Mayhem is more into preggers sex than Fussy was - unfortunately, pregnant women just don't do it for him.

((((((((((SD)))))))))))))) I can sympathise with your frustrations (see above!)

Oh and....

my little one has his first cold and so do I. I didn't have a cold the whole time I was pregnant and breastfeeding, and three weeks after I give up, then we both get one. The human body is a wonderful thing, isn't it?

Sorry, I'm back tracking here.

sodaklostsoul - great post, made me cry. I miss my Mummy. I'm 21 tomorrow and still call her mummy, LOL.

Lou - I was thinking about Maddie today. It's shocking how little we're hearing of the search for her now. Her poor parents must be distraught, fair enough they shouldn't have left her, but they did, and saying they shouldn't have won't bring her back, nor does it suggest they don't deserve her back.

Mr SD definitely does NOT have a problem with preggers sex. We've actually "cheated" a couple of times the past couple of weeks since I was put on bed rest...LOL. He just had to grumble because it's the first time he's had to wear a rubber since he knocked me up!

Miss Bryleigh made her appearance on Weds June 27, 2007 at 10:20 pm. Born via c-section, she is a very healthy 8lbs 8oz and 20 3/4" long. The surgery went well for the most part...except the anesthesia began to wear off at the tail end of the procedure. I never actually felt any thing other than pressure, but I could feel the numbness wearing off. But the "pressure" quickly gave way to lots of PAIN! Unfortunately, since the spinal block was supposed to last 6+ hours, I couldn't have anything other than 1/2 a dose of demerol for pain--even though mine was wearing off after only an hour and a half. The demerol did NOTHING! By the time my hour in recovery was up, I could already move my legs much more than I should have been able to--and that came from one of the nurses. So, I guess, I have developed a tolerance to the pain meds/anesthesia.

Congrats!!!!



****

The pain in my feet has gotten so much worse...I can hardly stand to even be on them for more than 30-40 minutes at a time. :(

The fact that for the past, oh, three weeks or so I have been traveling back and forth between TN and LA is not helping me much either. Hopefully I am back in LA to stay until birth.

My little man turned 8 months today and he can crawl!!!!!!!!!!

Well ok, so it's more of a Commando wriggle at the moment, but he is mobile in a forwards direction and there is now no inch of our living room he can't get to (well within a height of about a foot and a half off the floor). Thank goodness we invested in a playpen when we did, as at least he now has somewhere safe to be while I'm fixing his lunch or answering the door etc.

8 months, eh? And I bet it only feels like last week that you brought him home! :)

Aah, I remember it well - and my "little one" turns 14 this Hallowe'en.

I've lost track: When are all the Pixie babies due?

not til early november but both my other kids were 38 weekers so maybe late october, maybe even on my own birthday - which would be pretty cool. either way, they won't schedule the c-sec this far in advance so i don't know an exact date yet.

i already look like i swallowed a very large beach ball, strangers i meet think i'm due next week (even the delivery nurse i met at the pool yesterday), all sexual positions except oral and manual are becoming extremely uncomfortable, i can't eat a decent meal 'cause any amount of food in my belly makes me feel fuller than thanksgiving seconds. they say you show quicker with your third but this is ridiculous. i actually demanded a recount.

:p

Mine made her appearance June 27th...but Lou already knows that, we've talked about her already...LOL! :loveshowe

Gortta keep that next generation coming.

Grandbaby due mid Sept

Oh yay for you, themi01! My mum's partner is expecting twin grandbabies mid september too! I'm guessing they're having one of each.

Supposed to be late November, but I dont think he is going to wait that long.....

I feel like someone pumped my belly full of air.

That's what I thought of my little one who was also due late November, but 4 days after my due date I managed to convince them I should be induced!

Well, I'm gonna be an uncle again this December.

Lessee...that would make 9 nephews and no nieces. What's the odds of that???

I have been having migraine headaches for about three weeks and it seems like I may be coming down with one right now....my head is not pounding, it's a steady (intense) ache. I cant wait till November.

This little one is due on the 23rd of December...however, I tend to let my kids cook a little longer and since my first was born on the 26th of December, I think that it is fate that this little one to be born on his/her sibling's birthday. Either that or this little one will be born on Mayhem and my first anniversary---the 29th of December....

This little one is very active! I have a feeling that he or she will be an active baby as well!

I am craving weird things all the time and poor Mayhem has a hard time keeping up with what I am craving... Last week it was tomatoes, fresh tomato salad, and green fried tomatoes. Now I am so hungry for turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie, but I haven't got the gumption to make a whole Thanksgiving meal, so we are going out to KFC tomorrow. Oh, and I normally loathe colas--Pepsi, Coca-cola, storebrand--I just can't get enough of it right now---geesh go figure. The three constants, though, have been Cadbury chocolate bars with caramel, cold cold milk, and lots and lots of SEX :D:D:D Mmmmmhummmm

My belly is huge! I'm so miserable. Everyone comments on how big it is too. I feel like I'm about to POP!

It's this close to the end and we still don't have a name or we don't agree on one anyway. At this point it looks like he may be named after his dad. I am slowly giving into that and I'll admit the idea is kind of growing on me.

Oh I can sympathise Cherrypie.....it's miserable towards the end. I got more sleep once the baby was born than in those last few weeks when my heartburn was so bad and my hands and feet were so swollen that they hurt.

Good luck with all that's to come and don't worry about the name. We hadn't really agreed until I was in the delivery room and Fussy finally said to the midwife that we'd be calling him the name that I'd wanted from the beginning. I think seeing me go through the birthing process made him feel as though I'd earned the right to choose the name!

well, baby girl is 17 wks old and is getting SO big! she's already wearing 6-9 mos clothes! we had her ears pierced a few weeks ago...and apart from the initial tears when they were done, she pays them no mind now. now, if i can just keep big brother from trying to pick her up all the time!

My little man is going through another phase of waking up in the night crying for milk! He always does this when he's about to get ill, or he's just getting over something but it's most inconvenient now I'm not nursing, especially since I'll be returning to work in a week's time!

Have spoken to our health visitor and she's suggested some steps to help prevent him from needing the milk in the middle of the night and also how to make it easier for us if he does.

Keep your fingers crossed for us that this works!

Ours were weaned with plain bottled water (boiled of course).

They were smart enough to figure that they weren't getting anything, so they may as well sleep through.
