OT - Whine!

Thanks Jackie - I wish you were too! That's why I didn't post this on the pregnancy board - I knew I'd get flamed.
I'll try the all 4s thing and see if I can get the baby to move a bit.

LOL It was sugar free chocolate cake! I don't do sugar :)

Love Ya too! Hope all is well

Oh LIz, I hope I didn't sound like I was flamin' you.   I'm sooo totally proud of you!   You've done so well and having been down the TTC trail I know that those hormones are a B*tch when they build!   The only thing I was told to do to alleviate them (since doc didn't wants me on meds) was sugar less and gentle walking more.   That's all I meant, hope I didn't stress you out more, never my intent. 

No hun not at all!!!

Thanks so much! I will have to get the walking in there - that is something that I am not good with!

Nope you didn't stress me out :) I just want it to be your turn!

it is normal and I hate to tell you this but you will now worry for the rest of your life. You will wake up in the middle of the night several times just to make sure they are breathing.  you will worry all day long while you are at work.  You will stress, panic etc from now on...

BUT ITS THE BEST THING IN THE WHOLE WORLD AND YOU WOULD NOT TRADE IT FOR ANYTHING. 

I was 280lbs during my pregnancy.. tired and sore.  Try sleeping upright or get a body pillow.  Both of those things helped me. 

Many hugs and love for you and your bundle.

THanks Sandra! I will try propping myself up to sleep. I do use the body pillow between my legs and under my belly (which yes I do have now lol)

I am 197 pounds as of yesterday, I can't imagine doing this at my heaviest (327) I was miserable on a good day then!

It's been 32 years since I was carrying a baby around in my belly so I have no concrete advice to offer on the back/leg sleeping situation, but propping might be easier for both of you.

Go right ahead and be an emotional wreck - for a few days - you've gone through a lot to have this baby so I'm sure your emotions are all over the place. But only a few days - then we want the happy, smiley Liz back!

You're going to be fine - that baby is going to be beautiful and healthy and happy - and life will go on. You'll take it a day at a time because remember, the one thing babies don't come with is an instruction book!! LOL!

LOL! Thanks Kathy! I am still that happy smiley Liz - I don't break down until the evenings it seems. I can keep it together at work.

Can't wait for everyone to meet the baby! And this is going to be one lucky baby being born into such a great "family"!!

Liz, I was totally freaking out while carrying my daughter.  All I can tell you is that when you get to hold that bundle from heaven in your arms and look into its eyes.,,,the world will be so right with you.  All your fears melt away, you take on a new existence and become another person that you didn't know existed.  Of course there will be other fears along the way, but for those first 6 months of being a mommy, you will be on cloud nine.  Everything will be fine as long as you everything your supposed to do. 

Thanks Nan :)

Well I have no experience in this either....but I can tell you your hormones and crying are like my PMS days so lord help me if and when I'm preggo, LOL  Actually....someone help Brian.

I know it's cliche, but you'll get through it.

Something to keep in mind....it may be just a *tad* worse for you as you are prone to anxiety and off your meds for this, too.....so that might be somethign to consider and understand as well.  I'm not saying it's not normal....

You know how to get a hold of me....you can call me crying any time.  And if you need someone to get you walking, I'd be glad to come along and/or beat down your door and drag you out of the house.  Just sayin'

We love you!

Pam (and Brian too)
