I just took the 36 week pics today! :o)
I'm still feeling pretty good.. I had bad cramps yesterday morning.. went away.. and then had them all night and all morning.. I ended up taking medication for them this morning. I'm having a few gentle contractions.. nothing super bad. Dh says he'll help me start havign more of them tonight! :o)

Lol Liane.. b/c of the dh finally helping comment? :o) Hehe.. I'm so excited.. he's so silly.. this may be tmi, and if it is, I sincerely apologize...
Two nights ago, I got him to help me have an orgasm.. knowing that should help keep the contractions going.. but he refused to do it by having sex b/c the dr said no sex until today, when I hit 36 weeks. He's so silly... he doesn't realize that the only thing different with sex is the semen weakening the cervix.. but that the oxytocin production that stimulates contractions is still there.. I thought it was funny.. but I didn't bother to explain it to him.. haha

Wow so at 13weeks 1day you were showing pretty darn good. Well dang Im like a week away from that and maybe I will pop around then as well. Im hoping by the time hubby gets home from his business trip I will have popped. I feel it coming I think :)
When did you really notice that you popped over 13weeks or sooner??
You are soo cute!!!!

Haha.. Crystal.. I took those two to show dh what I see when I look down!
Jolene, I started getting a bit of pudge going on around 12 weeks.. but I wasn't sure if it was just bloating so I waited to take the pic at 13 weeks. Then, at 13 weeks 1 day it really popped. However, my next door neighbor is really active and healthy like you, and she was barely showing still at around 20 weeks. She popped right around 24 or 25 really.
Lol Liane.. our poor dh's!

Oh no not healthy and active for me...haha. I was a healthy eater but I never worked out or anything. My cousin was the same way she was active, ran 3 miles or more a day, and ate heatlhy and she didnt start showing till way later, but im thinking since I dont work out, didnt ever do crunches or anything, well when I danced when I was younger I did but that was mandatory...haha. I tried working out several times, it just doesnt go over well with me...haha, I will start walking a mile everyday when I get my energy back though :)
We shall see when I pop I guess :)

Oh my goodness, Meghan...after seeing your pictures, I feel and look soooo big!! You should see my belly right now and you'll understand why I am so anxious to get Bella out NOW! LOL!! I haven't taken a belly picture since 30 weeks...but here's a picture of mine at 30 weeks:

I have a hard time shopping for clothes now. They can fit me BUT not my belly. My belly will just poke out and raise my shirt no matter what. If I get an XXL, it would cover my belly, but it's way too big at the top. haha!

Yeah, I hate those days too, Meghan...hormones surging, you feel depressed one moment, then happy again in a snap of a finger. I'm feeling good today, Fran. Thanks! :-) I just had contractions this morning again, but they went away when I decided to go to the grocery store and shop for FOOD! hehe!
I know, I'm going to explode if she won't be out soon...but she can't seem to make up her mind. She'll be dying to come out one day, then she'll be calm and enjoy her last few moments in there the next day. I guess it really is comfy in there. hehe!

Aww thanks Liane. I am sure that my time is coming but it seems like it is taking forever.LOL!
Since I had the HSG done last week I am hoping that will help me out this month. I am suppose to O on Sat so we will see what happens for me. I am hoping that we get it this month. It has been 6 months sicne the reversal and we want this so badly. I am sure that everyone can understand what I am feeling since everyone has been through this.
Thanks for the support. I know that I can count on all of u.

Hmm I havent seen a post from Meghan or anything since she left for her appointment, I wonder if she was dialated enough to stay and have Christian???
Cant wait to hear :)
Cant wait to get the belly either ladies, it will be here before I know it, and im waiting patiently now, cause its just around that corner :)
Lots of love ladies!

Aww thanks Chrissy that means a lot :)
I just love to help the women and make them see the brighter side of things, cause everyone does have so much to be thankful for, and being patient and positive is all we can do in this TTC game that takes forever. I think its Gods way of showing us how precious life is and how much of a miracle it is :)

Hey ladies! Sorry i didn't create another post.. no big and exciting news to speak of really :( Still 90% effaced and 1 cm dilated. My dr says she expects me to still be pregnant at next week's appointment. I have still only gained 14 pounds though.. I am pretty happy about that part of things.
I'm feeling in a better mood today about not being any more dilated than I was yesterday. I was feeling really down yesterday about it.. esp with other stressful stuff going on. But, I'm feeling better today... it is what it is... and I'm trying to just use the time to get the house even more ready for Christian to get here.. and enjoy playing with him while he's inside my belly.
Love you all!

sailor girl.... I hope you are right about walking out looking great.. haha :o)
Yeah.. Liane.. I was thinking about it.. and as much as I'm going to love him being out here, and being able to see his little feet when they kick, its not like i can put him back in there to feel him kicking and squirming... so.. I suppose I should enjoy it! ;)

Thanks, Chrissy! :-) Meghan, I felt the exact same thing last week after my doc appt. I was being ridiculous to a point where I was getting mad at my doc because she told me that I was only 1 cm when I was already 3 cm when I went to the hospital. But oh well, as what Jolene said, when our little ones are ready, nothing will ever stop them from coming. The last few weeks of pregnancy can be very agonizing. Just last night, I was very, very intrigued with the "rhythmic motion" of my stomach. I really haven't stared at my stomach, but last night I did and I noticed that it looked like she was breathing in there!! I knew it wasn't my heartbeat because I was holding my pulse to see if the rhythmic motion of my stomach was the same as my pulse, but it wasn't. I tried to research about it and it's amazing to know and even SEE from my stomach that the baby is actually practicing the breathing motion as if she is outside my womb. I haven't noticed this with my daughter before..but maybe you can also try to sit back one time and just look at how Christian moves in your stomach. It's really exciting!! :-)
AWw soo cute!! I keep forgetting to do mine, but it might be a bit girls cause we are SUPER busy. Just sold our house thats not even on the market but they were dying to move into our neighborhood and they made an offer we couldnt refuse. We still have to finish the last bit of the inside remodel, but none of the outside now...woohoo, and now we have to pack and find a place and move in 4weeks! What a world wind. I will be on some but not to much! Im just soooooo excited to be moving into a new home for this little bundle of joy!
14w3d pregnant here, cant believe it :)

I was reading a few other posts after I posted that and saw that you were having twins... I am SO happy for you. From what I've read you have been through SO much and its SO great to hear your success! I don't even know you and I'm so excited, its kinda strange. I even told someone at work today that someone on my infertility website found out she's pregnant lol. Everyone seems like family. :) Good luck... you are definately growing, its so precious to see. I am right behind you!!! (I hope)
Thanks, believe it or not I started out @ 153, but its always been my butt and legs that are muscular and my arms have always been that way. As of 16week appointment I have lost 3 pounds, but I think over this past week or so I have gained a few pounds. I guess we will see :)
Once we get in the new house im going to start walking a mile a day on the treadmill again, but till then I havent worked out except a few times, and I say few I mean 3...haha.

Yeah I enjoy being short its fun. It stinks not being able to find jeans that arent to long, even if they are short. But atleast they can be fixed if needed :)
I started out at 153, and was at 150 @ my last doctors appointment @ 16weeks pregnant. But I think this coming one I will have gained a few pounds, but as of the other morning still the same weight. I thought I was 153, and went to 156 within the first few weeks and stayed at that weight, but according the docs and my weights and stuff over the past year, I have lost 3 pounds since I got pregnant. Who knows....haha.
As long as I dont gain more then the 25-35 pounds im happy :)

I cant wait till Monday to see how much I have gained. So far down 3 @ 4 months pregnant at that appointment. This appointment I will be 5 months pregnant, and so far to me going from before I got pregnant, its gained 3, but they say lost 3, and the past few weeks I think its up 2 more, so maybe to them I will still be down 1, or gained a pound or 2.
We will find out Monday June 30th @ 10:15am.
Gosh I cant wait to find out what we are having :)
