What are you ladies thankful for right now?

headkick · 2012-05-27T10:17:44.965105+00:00

There is so damn much I'm thankful for I don't even know where to begin! Since my boyfriend and I found out and decided to go through with having this baby, things have just fallen into place for us. We really, REALLY couldn't be luckier. I'm thankful we have the resources for me to stay home, thankful for our amazing apartment and for the fact that we can somehow afford it. I'm thankful to be going through this with my best friend who couldn't possibly be a better partner. I'm thankful for the family and friends who have stuck around to support me. I'm thankful that I've had a completely healthy pregnancy! As much as I know I complain on here, things are actually really amazing and it's easy to forget to be appreciative, so thanks for this thread!

Oh, I'm also thankful I'm having a boy! I really, REALLY wanted a boy and I can remember how much I realized I wanted it once we found out the gender. I had kept telling everyone (and myself) that I didn't care what the sex was, as long as the baby is healthy. But as soon as I saw that little peep, it was probably one of the happiest moments. Finding out the gender also made it super real for us! Enjoy it :)

That top is so cute! And for some reason earlier in my pregnancy EVERYONE liked to joke with me about the possibility of twins. WHY would anyone do that?!

Love it! I had the same exact type of mini bump at 11 weeks.

themudflapfeminist · 2012-05-27T10:05:13.910511+00:00

Love it! Definitely looking preggers :)

themudflapfeminist · 2012-05-27T10:04:19.876407+00:00

Gahh so freakin cute!

themudflapfeminist · 2012-05-27T04:35:46.237412+00:00

Aww yay congrats!

themudflapfeminist · 2012-05-27T04:12:31.435275+00:00

Thanks! My first day out of pajamas in a bit haha.

themudflapfeminist · 2012-05-27T04:11:53.964435+00:00

LOVE the no shame pic. That's my natural state every day.

themudflapfeminist · 2012-05-27T04:10:46.057269+00:00

Not huge, very cute! Love the dress.

themudflapfeminist · 2012-05-27T04:10:03.409894+00:00

First pic I took was at 11 weeks, looking back I have no idea what I saw as a bump hahaha.

themudflapfeminist · 2012-05-27T03:28:22.563395+00:00

39 weeks here :)

If you have a fever it could be sun poisoning, maybe go to the doc/ER just in case? You may def need fluids.

MaeBeWeird · 2012-05-27T02:49:01.044199+00:00

That's what I'm hoping for! Well see though, I'm trying not to get my hopes up too much haha.

MaeBeWeird · 2012-05-27T01:56:47.658333+00:00

I have a strange fear of laboring on the toilet. Whenever I get contractions I end up on the toilet for a while somehow. I feel like I'm gonna think the contractions aren't serious enough for the hospital and end up giving birth in my bathroom.

MaeBeWeird · 2012-05-27T01:18:26.960969+00:00

Oh man this is me today too. MAJOR nesting happened today, but totally pushed myself too hard cuz my back is NOT in good shape and I've been having contractions all day that haven't gone anywhere. Woke up, had sex, cooked breakfast, swept, mopped, and scrubbed the floors, wiped down the kitchen and bathroom, dusted the living room, cleaned the windows, went to my nieces birthday party, came home and did three loads of laundry. Blegh. At least the nesting took care of everything I've put off so I can relax guilt free!

I will also be attempting to clean today. Since we moved our floors have only had a quick once over but it's about time they get a good cleaning. Then later I'm off to my nieces 1st birthday party. I've been having some irregular contractions though so I'm hoping maybe the cleaning will keep them steady and I'll end up in the hospital instead! fingers crossed

Lucas Gene over here :) We picked it pretty solely based on sound and feel, no meaning behind it or anything. Gene was picked because I really love old man names for little boys, but didn't want to plague him with one for his first name (first person that came to mind was Gene Hackman). I just really liked the way it sounded together. I'm from NY btw if it matters.

So now were not allowed to rant about ANYTHING? Huh, thought it was just SOs. I didn't know seeking support from a forum when bothered by things most pregnant women deal with was an issue.

Gah that's crazy! Did they grow a lot when your milk came in or was it just totally random?

themudflapfeminist · 1 day

He is a spiteful little thing it seems, I'm sure it was on purpose haha! I've rubbed lotion on 3x a day since the day I found out I was pregnant!

Man, I wasn't planning on bringing any music in to labor to, but I think once I get to the point of "shit, I can't do this"...if Usher's "Yeah" came on, it'd be the greatest moment of my life. Lmao! Anyway, I LOVE that you got pics of the gory details! And your son is absolutely beautiful! Congrats :)

FearlessEyes · 1 day

Yes, that's what's happened to me.

FearlessEyes · 1 day

I lost mine at twenty-something weeks. When I called my doc about it he almost laughed at me. It's not an issue at all unless there's blood. I almost wish it did indicate something because I've been losing it again for the past two weeks without being dilated or effaced at all! But no need to worry :)
