~Alright preggy ladies! Time for a check up! How are you guys doing? :smile:

*How are things going for you, how are you feeling? Things are going great! I'm "feeling" pretty crummy, but that's because I can just feel how close I'm getting. I do still feel like Wy is going to be early. Just, hopefully, not tooooo early. :-/

*Any major swelling or aches? I don't want to complain too much, because I'm sooo thankful for this babe... but yeah... I'm pretty dern achy and miserable. But, it's all worth it and will be over before I know it. :) I'd say my sciatic nerve is my biggest complaint. It hurts pretty constantly and nothing I do helps. But as I said.... alllll worth it!

*Any major cravings you can't seem to tame? Personally, since my morning sickness is full on again, nothing really sounds good except Chik-Fil-A fries... that's about it. :)

*What's the biggest thing your grateful for this pregnancy? The fact that I'm pregnant! I *love* my babies, and enjoy pregnancy so much (I know, I'm weird). But really... I think having all my family around me, supporting me and helping soothe away the aches and pains is my biggest thing I'm grateful for!

*Your biggest gripe? My sciatic pain, really. False labor would come in close second!

*Got all your baby stuff taken care of? Just about! I just need to buy that bassinet and get some diapers for Wyatt, and I'm fiiiiinished! :)

*Birth plan created? yeah, it's pretty simple, so all I need to do is type it up and give it to my midwife.

*If you could have ANY food right now, what would you order up? A salad from Subway sounds EXCELLENT. I don't know why, but their salad just tastes so good to me.

*What item can you NOT live without this pregnancy? My heating pad and Crocs!

*What has been most surprising to you this pregnancy? the fact that my belly got so huge so fast this time. I feel ginormous, but I really think Wyatt is just a big baby.

*Is your pregnancy flying or dragging? Flying right on by... I'm already halfway through week 32, that's mind blowing to me. I'll be holding Wyatt before I know it!

*Got a baby name all picked out? Care to share it? Wyatt Carlton L. :)

*Getting excited about meeting your little one or is it still not "REAL" yet? I'm so excited it just isn't even funny~ :)

Jen I love how postive you are about things! I'm excited to meet your little man!

[JRBL]

Where is everybody? :)

[Jessy]

Sorry it took me so long to respond, Jen, I had to wait for a moment I wouldn't be interrupted!

*How are things going for you, how are you feeling?
I can feel the next wave of fatigue coming on, other than that I feel great!

*Any major swelling or aches?
Nothing major, my feel constantly feel like I just ran a marathon but no swelling yet. I've had some ligament pain this time around but nothing constant or to bothersome!

*Any major cravings you can't seem to tame?
Sweets, sweets and more sweets :( It's awful. BUT, I have managed to only gain 6 pounds so far :)

*What's the biggest thing your grateful for this pregnancy?
Hearing that all is healthy, big relief, am so thankful all is well in there! :)

*Your biggest gripe?
WHY do I have to wait until April?! I want a baby NOW! ;)

*Got all your baby stuff taken care of?
HAHA, we're starting in January, though, there isn't much to do, we have all the big stuff, just need to get it set up, clothes pulled out and cleaned, etc.

*Birth plan created?
Don't do a birth plan.

*If you could have ANY food right now, what would you order up?
A big mac with fries, weird huh?!
*What item can you NOT live without this pregnancy?
my comfy jammy pants, seriously, so wonderful!
*What has been most surprising to you this pregnancy?
Just in general how different it is from my others.

*Is your pregnancy flying or dragging?
Depends on the day. Sometimes it feels like it's flying, sometimes it seems like its taking forever!

*Got a baby name all picked out? Care to share it?
Not yet, would share if we did. We have tossed a couple around but nothing that we've just 'loved'.

*Getting excited about meeting your little one or is it still not "REAL" yet?
I can't wait! :) I keep trying to cuddle Payton like he's a newborn LOL, I really need to have this babe so I can lay off him and let him be a 'big boy' haha, he's so patient with me wanting all the cuddles though, he usually obliges! YAY for sweet little boys :mrgreen:

[Jessy]

Jen, I'm so excited for you having your first boy :mrgreen: what fun! I had a bit of sciatic problems last time and they were awful, I hope yours gets better!

[Israel]

*How are things going for you, how are you feeling?

Awful. I'm tired but can't get a good night's sleep and still nauseous whether I eat or not. And I can't seem to get much liquids down during the day.


*Any major swelling or aches?

None yet except for sometimes if I sneeze or cough I may get some ligament pain.


*Any major cravings you can't seem to tame?

Nope, not yet cause of the nausea.

*What's the biggest thing your grateful for this pregnancy?

That I'm not working out of the home this pregnancy cause I don't think I would make it at a job with being nauseous and tired all the time.


*Your biggest gripe?

I have to keep reminding DH that its not easy growing a human being inside of me so I am going to be crabby sometimes! lol


*Got all your baby stuff taken care of?

I do if its another boy! :)


*Birth plan created?

Nope, way too early for me.


*If you could have ANY food right now, what would you order up?

Probably waffles


*What item can you NOT live without this pregnancy?

Definitely my bed!


*What has been most surprising to you this pregnancy?

How sick and exhausted I feel...I didn't have ANY of that last pregnancy. Hopefully, this baby is healthy.


*Is your pregnancy flying or dragging?

Totally dragging!


*Got a baby name all picked out? Care to share it?

Haven't a clue.


*Getting excited about meeting your little one or is it still not "REAL" yet?

It's still not real yet plus I want to cherish as much time with my son as I can before he has to share my affection. :)


That was fun!
