Calling all the Pregnant PS''ers

[fieryred33143]

I predict either today or tomorrow for Melabella. Can''t wait to meet himer!

*****
Mandarine-You look beautiful!

 

[anchor31]

I''m a bit late on the news, but

Pandora - Daisy is gorgeous!

Sorry your L&D experience was so traumatic.

Mela! Still preggo?! Come on Himer! Come out so we can meet you!

Qtiekiki - Congrats!

9 weeks and 2 days here. It''s going pretty well; I was sick on Sunday and mornings can be a bit rough, but it''s not that bad. Still uber tired. Aaand... I finally can contribute to the belly pic Fridays!!! I noiced this morning hat I started to have a bump! Crazy. According to my Wii Fit, I haven''t been really gaining any significant weight yet.

I''m on my sister''s Mac, so I''m not sure how to post the pic, but I''ll try!

 

[mela lu]

Morning!
Fiery - a "Himer poll" is hilarious. My friends have actually MONEY down (lol) and today is the last possible winning date. I dont think it will be born today though...so too bad for them!

Beau - thanks for popping in! I can''t believe you have a 14 yr old either?! Nuts.

Mandy - looking great girl! you''re still so lean for 17 weeks with twins. Good for you. I betcha you carry these twinklets extremely well.

So, I had a dream last night that Himer was a boy and he was SO BIG that I could barely nurse him because he was so heavy and my arms weren''t strong enough. WHOA. Clearly, I''m getting worried about how big this baby will be. Either way, I''m going to be induced tomorrow (our decision) because quite frankly, I''ve had enough. So, I guess that means either tomorrow night or Sunday I''ll be holding a Himer!

I''ll post a 41 week belly pic later today.

Mela, 41 weeks today. urgh.

 

[vizsla]

thanks for all of the positive responses to the wesley debate. not that it *really* matters, but i don''t want to be the parent who gives their child a name they will hate later on (i know it will probably happen regardless, but at least i tried ...... so what are all of your thoughts on this girl''s name...... maeve (mae). DH thinks you have to be super irish to name your daughter maeve. (he is, i am not) -- but i really like it..... go ahead.. throw it at me

howdy to all the ladies... mela i can''t believe when i check back on monday there *could most possibly probably will be* a picture of you and your himher! how exciting!!!!!

hope everyone else is doing well, cdt i''m thinking about you!

here is my contribution to BPF...... one where you can''t see my love handles... plus it''s a good perspective from my view tee hee.

 

[anchor31]

Testing... Anchor's bump pic at 9w2d!

ETA: Yay! It worked.

 

[Jas12]

Mela-- dang i keep checking in hoping that you haven''t. I am following you so closely cuz you are bringing back all these memories of my being overdue. My family had a poll going too and my DD was March 26. The latest anyone chose was April 2nd--but then my bratty BIL choose April 11 just to be a smart ass-- and i remembered we all laughed and were thinking ''"ya, as if!". Well, he was just 2 days off!!

The good thing is, now you get all the pool money right?!!
I still think you''ll go tonight....and have a perfect sized Luna, but if not GOOD LUCK tomorrow

 

[cdt1101]

Mandarine - u look great girl!!! I can't believe you have twins in there!!

Viszla - love the shot from your perspective...hehhee....I meant to comment before, but I really like Wesley/Wes. Great name!

Mela - oh man, I feel for you! Hope tomorrow is the day for you!

So i figured since I'm term now, I'd do a collage since the beginning...take a look at my 37 week belly!!! HOLY MOLY!!! I guess this kid decided to put on all his what this month!! Crazy the difference from 5 weeks ago!

 

[cdt1101]

crap!! didn''t work!!!!!!!! Let me see what i can do!

 

[cdt1101]

hehehe...uploaded the wrong one!!

 

[fieryred33143]

Viz-Love that shot! Definitely one for saving!

Anchor-Look at your cute belly

CDT-So glad to see you around. How are you feeling? You look fabulous. "Three" more weeks to go

 

[cdt1101]

Fiery - I"m feeling the same, but knowing that I''ll be induced June 11th is making me feel a whole lot better

Having a absolute date to get to is making it easier for me to manage the pain. So in less the 2 weeks our son will be here!!!

 

[puffy]

mela just wanted to say good luck tomorrow if it isn''t sooner. i''m sure you''ll have an absolute gorgeous little one just the right size, not too big or small.

cdt you look wonderful at 37 weeks!!! but yeah, i totally see a big difference from 5 weeks ago. you are still pretty tiny and have a cute bump!

 

[Pandora II]

Mela - best of luck whatever happens! I hope himer turns up all by themselves, but if not at least you''ll be holding them by Sunday night! I was so sure that I would still be waiting now - big shock that she turned up early (I still have paint all over the floor from the nursery furniture). You probably don''t have time now, but assembling IKEA flatpacks seem to have done the trick for me...

Does raspberry leaf tea taste nice by the way - and is it any good for post-labour uterine tone? I never did get round to opening the boxes (DH banned me until the painting was finished!)

Fingers crossed for an easy delivery.

I must have missed the date somewhere! That''s wonderful news!! ZOMG 2 weeks!

 

[mela lu]

Drinking a Raspberry Leaf tea as I type

. I like the taste, but it doesn't taste like much (certainly not raspberries)...so ???

CDT - technically, you could go into labour and have your LO before ME! hahahahahahaha. Not funny. You're bump is much more pronounced now - although, you're still quite wee aren't you? Lucky girl! You'll bounce back quickly.

Anchor - Hi cutie! nice little bump!

Vis - LOVE Maeve. Not too irish at all. Love love love it. And love the pic!

Side story: One of my favourite girl names was Neve (Neh-veh; means "snow" in Italian, but could also be pronounced like the Gaelic "Niamph" (Knee-ve), This story is going nowhere, but we veto'd it because more people would opt for the Gaelic/English pronounciation over the Italian one...and I didn't want my kid to be confused. This has nothing to do with you, except for the "Other Culture" reference.

Whoa. I'm going to go crawl under a rock now after THAT verbal diarrhea.

Here I am. THE VERY LAST BELLY PIC FOR SURE!

41 weeks. Note DH holding Mela up. lol.
I'll miss being here with you girls

 

[fieryred33143]

Mela seriously you look amazingly beautiful.

I''ll miss you around here too but cannot wait to meet Luna.

Ok fine or Romeo

 

[cdt1101]

Mela - don''t even say that!!! I know your himer will be here before my little guy!!! I''m sure by the end of this weekend your little one will make his/her appearance!! And you look FREAKIN FANTASTIC girl!!!!!!! Seriously gorg!!!

Fiery - I posted yesterday that they would induce on June 11th if i didn''t go before then, I''m scheduled and everything!!! woohoo!!!

 

[AmberWaves]

Mela, you look great! I nearly died when I saw DH holding up Melapup. I swear, you look better for every picture.

Viz: looking good!

Anchor: very cute!

CDT: You look fantastic even though you''re in such agony, you''re really all belly!

Hope I didn''t miss anyone!

Lately my stomach has been itching like crazy, it drives me up the wall! Also, at night (and through out parts of the day) my stomach is super hard, and I''m not quite sure why. Is this normal? I''m only 14w5d! It''s hard all over, not just the bellybutton area. My boobs are out of control, I fit into an F cup which is just shocking.

 

[mia1181]

Just popping in out of lurkdom (where I know I belong until I am actually Preggo -or at least TTC, geez) to say congrats Pandora on that cutie pie Daisy. Thank you so much for posting your birth story. I love to read about all different deliveries.

Mela- I can't believe you look so terrific and so close to the arrival of ROMEO! Um do we have a final count on gender guesses? Doesn't anyone think it will be a boy anymore? I mean I'll be happy with either (especially since it isn't even going to be my child

). But I'm feeling boy. Good luck tomorrow and I hope things get rolling tonight anyway! ETA- I love little floating Mela! I've never met a 6 armed dog that could levitate before! Although 2 of those arms look strangley human....

 

[Sapphire_Cutie]

Hello Ladies! Today I had my possibly LAST U/S and DH finally got to go with me. It was SOOOO cute watching his face as he got to actually SEE his son for the 1st time. I am 25w4d today. God its going by way too fast. Just like another 15 or so weeks to go. Tomorrow is the Baby/Wedding Shower that my MIL is throwing me... so that should be fun. Then on the 6th is the shower that my mom is throwing. Here is my contribution to BPF

25w4d

 

[Sapphire_Cutie]

And The next two are U/S pics from today... Our sons name is Logan Jack

 

[Sapphire_Cutie]

sorry they''re sooo big lol...

 

[fieryred33143]

Sapphire-You and the babe look great!!

Another link for my mommies of twins. Someone posted this on the bump and I thought it was disgustingly cute. It''s twin boys laughing at each other (or I guess with each other).

[ChinaCat]

Happy Friday ladies!

No pic for me today, my DH left too early this morning for him to take a pic, but I promise to post one this weekend.

Vizla- I love Maeve. Don''t think you have to be Irish, but even if so, your DH is so there you go. It''s really a lovely name. Love your pic, you are too funny.

Anchor- Cute teeny tiny bump!!!!

CDT- Now that I see your collage, I think my bump is very similar to yours. I had a big jump b/w 25 and 29 weeks as well and it looks exactly the same shape as yours. So I can expect a huge growth spurt at the end I guess!

Funny thing is I feel so big this week, but looking at your pics, you don''t look very big to me at all, just cute. So happy you have an induction date.

Mela- Oh girl. First of all, that last picture was the BEST. You look freaking amazing, and now I love your DH too- he knows Mela is an honorary member of this thread. Seconnd of all, soon you will be holding your little one!!!! Can''t believe it. So excited for you and can''t wait to hear about your labor. Don''t be a stranger.

What''s up with the raspberry tea, anyways? What is that supposed to do?

 

[E B]

Mandarine, Anchor and viz- You all look great...and TINY!

mela- Absolutely fabulous, lady. I know the way you're carrying means bunk when it comes to the sex, but for fun, it seems you're carrying all 'boy' (according to the OWT). Good luck with your induction tomorrow! Be sure to supply us with many pics of the wee one when you can.

vizsla- You've got another winner with Maeve!

cdt- 37 weeks? You look amazing. Yay for June 11th! It'll be here in no time.

Sapphire- Look at your baby! He's precious, and you look great too. Logan Jack's a great name!

fiery- Oh. my. god. I had to send that to my husband, it was so cute.

Is anyone planning on doing a baby book? I think I found one I want to order. I want the kind where you're able to take pages out and add them in. Share yours, if you've got one (or are going to get one).

 

[sweet pea]

Yay for BPF! I love seeing how everyone is progressing.

Anchor, love the bump, I feel like I''m getting a lil one myself, but mostly just at night so I assume its the bloat :p
CDT, you look fabulous, so great to know that you will meet your little guy June 11
Mela, gorgeous Isn''t it great to know for sure that this is your last contribution to BPF?!
Saphire, love Logan Jack. So glad your DH was able to go with you. (not that this matters, but my bday is 9/10!)

I''ve been lurking for the last few days, but not contributing much, so I thought I''d pop in and say Hi.

I''m still very nauseous, its the worst in the evening, and now I just seem to have this gross taste in my mouth all day long no matter what I do. Anyone else have this, or know how to get rid of it? I have found sucking on Preggie Pop Drops helps a litte, but its hard to talk to my clients with candy in my mouth, lol.

9wks 1day

Popping in for BFP

so cute.

Mandy
You are carrying your twins really well.

cdt
37 wks and still so tiny! Can''t wait to meet your little guy in <2wks.

anchor
Cute lil bump.

Viz
Love the aerial shot of your belly.

Sapphire
Cute bump and nice tat.
Cute name too.

Mela
Like other said, you look gorgeous and fab.
I second Beau1 that Romeo will make his appearance on June1.
Can''t wait to meet your LO.
Good luck and lots of L&D dust to you.

 

[lili]

Amberwaves
The tightening of the belly (when it just balls up and feels rock hard) that you are feeling is Braxton Hicks.
Some people do get them pretty early on in their pregnancy like myself.

 

[AmberWaves]

Thanks Lili!!

 

[cdt1101]

thanks ladies for saying i look tiny!!! i certainly don't feel tiny! It's getting hard to get out of bed w/ this belly

China - I remember when you posted a pic a month or 2 ago and we looked to be caring the same back then! It's funny how even last month i felt so big, and then i see my belly now and i'm like what was i thinking? hehehe....

Sapphire - your little guy is so cute!! love his profile!!
