oh wow. i am so sorry for your losses! i am glad youre feeling better for this pregnancy though and that youre resting up!

i was taking vitamins before i got pregnant but switched over to the prenatals as soon as i got my BFP. so im hoping that ive been covered on the nutrients while the little bean has been developing.

i know what you mean! the baby is making me constantly hungry. i was thinking the same thing, that its going to be exactly like my OH!

august and september are the hottest months here. so im a little nervous about being 8 & 9 months in 90+ degree weather with 100% humity. should be interesting for sure! thats good that you will be closer to your hometown and family when you have the baby. im sure having that support system will help out a lot toward the end of the pregnancy and once the baby comes

thanks, i hope this one doesnt end the same

yes for sure. Augest is one of the hotest months where i come from too, its like even if u go jump in the lake its too hot lol. so my parents are laughing at OH he will have to deal with me being grumpy and hot while in my final stages of being pregnant, there oooh poor jason lol...

My vitamins have been making my pregnancy symptoms come in worse but its comforting when i no that my pregnancy symptoms are still there. my main one is being way to tired but its only going to get worse as my parents have informed me lol.

My MIL was talking to OH and was telling him about wat i was going threw and was like yes in a few months shes goina be bigger than a house i was like gee thanks thats comforting lol

haha! my mom said the same thing about my DH having to deal with me nine months pregnant in the heat. im already thanking my stars that we have central air condiitoning!

i think i get the same thing with my vitamins! ive been getting this sort of stretchy feeling in my lower abdomen and it seems to come on most of the time right after i take my vitamins. ive been having the exhaustion too. i find it so hard to stat awake through the day. today i feel asleep in the car on the 5 minute drive to the store... my DH made fun of me, said i was like a 90 year old woman. lol. which is kinda what i feel like!

i agree...the talk about getting huge here in a few months isnt very comforting. im just trying not to think about that right now!

haha your lucky that u have central air conditioning but i guess if we stay at FIL's place they have central air conditioning and a pool but i guess no one wants to see me and my big pregnant belly in a bikini hahaha , which il probably be almost tempted too do

im goina look weird i think with a bump because ive always been really tiny my whole life im only 4 foot 11 inches and ive only weighed no more than 120 pounds my whole life so its goina be interesting when my bump starts to come in but i soo cant wait sorta.

When i went to the store to get my vitamins i asked this lady where to find them and i guess there was too kinds and she was like umm we only have prenatial ones and when i grabbed that ones she kinda gaveme a funny look like yah right u cant be pregnant

Hello
Im due 2nd aug would love to get talkin to you all :-).

welcome nichola!

yea the central air thing is very nice and im sure will come in handy. there are pools on base, and im sure i will be spending time there throughout august and september to keep cool! i dont think ill care that i have a huge belly or if anyone wants to see it, im pretty sure ill only be worried about keeping myself cool!

i havent ever been tiny. im like 5'9 and have always been where i could stand to lose 5 or 10 pounds! lol. so i dont think ill look very weird with a bump. but im like you, i cant wait for it. somehow its like the bump makes it really real. right now the baby is so tiny. i was reading something and right now my baby is the size of a blueberry! its so crazy...its hard to image a real life inside of me that is that tiny. i think once i start getting a bump that will just make it feel more real to me.

welcome nichola

yes i guess the main thing is too keep cool hehe

Im having a hard time too imaging something living inside me every day i look at my belly and say i cant believe im growing a baby inside me. its just amazing to think about I agree once the bump gets bigger it seems more official of being pregnant and once the baby is growing and stuff. it will feel more real for me to once i get my ultra sound done and i can see bean than i can see the life ive created.

I also cant wait tell it starts moving around and kicking that will be really cool too

i know! it totally trips me out to think that my body is keeping another human life safe for the next nine months. i cant wait for the appointment to hear the heartbeat. my ultra sound will not be until around week 20, because that is the military standard. that seems so far away, so for now im looking forward to hearing the heartbeat at week 10-12

i have this friend here on base who is due anyday and i ran into her this weekend. anyway, i got to feel the baby kick. and it was amazing! i said i couldnt wait for that and she said it is incredible, but sometimes it gets annoying when the baby will be kicking its foot into your bladder or something. lol. im still excited for it...the good and the bad parts.

today we went to the store and i went through the baby section...ohhhh i wanted to buy stuff! but i know its way too early. plus i want to wait until we find out the gender before i buy anything. but the temptation was there! lol

wow you have to wait tell week 20 to see your baby? thats crazy, i only have to wait tell week 15 for my ultra sound but i guess u only have to wait 5 weeks after i do it will be so awesome to see him/her there and plus the further you are the better picture u will see of your baby

OOh i no i was thinking when to start buying baby stuff we arent finding out the gender tell he/she is born so when we buy stuff mostly everything is goina be yellow . My grandma is knitting bean a blanket i am so excited When are you going to find out the gender of ur little one?

i know! weeks 20 seems so far of! but i had heard like you said that the further along you are, the better the picture. so i keep telling myself that the waiting will be worth it. and i guess its not really THAT much longer than normal...if yours is set for week 15.

i think that they will be able to tell the gender at that ultrasound appointment, so thats when we will find out. my DH and his ex waited until my stepson was born to find out, but we both agreed this time we want to find out beforehand. i am such a planner that i think it would drive me crazy not to know. i want to be able to paint the nursery pink or blue and everything. plus, if its a boy...we have a lot of clothes from my stepson, but if its a girl we will need to buy girly things. thats awesome that you guys will be waiting though...i sorta wish i had that sort of willpower. but i know when they ask if we want to know, i wont be able to restrain myself! lol

that is so cute that your grandma is making a blanket! that will be so special. itll probably end up being one of those blankies that your baby keeps with him/her throughout childhood.
