I have my ultrasound today to find out the sex! I'm so excited and hope that my little one cooperates. I have to bring my son with me, i know they hate that but what can i do if i have noone to watch him? They have a sign up at the Peri's that says if you bring a child you must have another adult to caer for them. yeah well, they will have to deal with it. I have no choice. Please lots of girl wishes for me!!! :-)

Good luck. I hope your little does not cross its legs. My daughter did that and it was frustrating. Make sure you let us know the results.

I work for a living. Now days how can you get by on a single income? I am only 17 weeks and was put on bedrest today. Now I know that's not that bad. But my DR said he does not forsee me working for much longer this pregnancy. We are trying to save $$ for when i was on maternity leave. I just don't know what we are going ti do if i'm put on bedrest longer. I really need a job I can do from home

it is hard but we do it. I quit my job two years ago after I had my second child. I worked with my first child thinking we could never do it. Granted we did have more debt and it would have been harder but we actually committed to the change it is amazing how you can cut back. We even bought our house the year we went down to one salary. We cut back on a lot of stuff. We don't eat out anymore. We used to eat breakfast out every weekend. That adds up to close to $100 a month. Cut that out. No lunches out either. We have a strict budget now. We now save if there is something we want or need. Wait a few months instead of instantly buying it. It is a different way of living but I like it.

vtmomof2 Homepage

  vtmomof2 responded September 26, 2007 at 12:43AM

It is hard to think of losing that income. When I left work, I was nervous, but we manage ok. You need to consider the expenses of working. Think about child care, the expenses of a second car, eating out, clothes, gas, etc. This all adds up, when you look at all that you will see that your expenses will go down a lot when you leave work. I am also a tax preparer so I can do that at home, and it brings in some extra income. If you are good with numbers they have a class with h&r block and you can do taxes at home. I didn't take this course, I was an accountant in my former life.

I understand it hurts,it really hurts but there are some sacrifices you have to make in life for your wellness in the long run...Work out what is necessary and what is unnecessary for you....Just do some cost cutting and avoid unnecessary expenses and you will surely be able to do some saving...

just recently had dinner with my aunt, uncle, and my cousin Joe, who now lives in California, so I haven’t seen him in years. He was asking if I was still working and I said no. I said I was hoping to do something from home if I could but it just seems like I have tried everything out there and it all has failed for some reason or another. And I hate working outside the home. But I hate that I can’t contribute financially. Joe introduced me to this company called Cyberwize, and said a lot of stay at home mom's are doing this. He started selling for this company a few years ago. I decided to go ahead and give it a try. So far I have had a really good response to this and I am finally contributing financially which feels great. If anyone is interested, feel free to send me a message. You can learn more about the company here: http://www.vtblast.com/




 

Depressing

Posted September 20, 2007 at 11:35AM by bradensmommy
Kiara 3/02-5/02 Braden 6/03 In the Belief that EVERY CHILD SHOULD LIVE

 

This is so depressing to me. My sister in law who is a month ahead of me in pregnancy, and she's already having a friend of hers planning her baby shower. It got me thinking. I have had 2 kids and 2 babyshowers. But I need new stuff for this one. I gave so much stuff away as they out grew it. the thing is I have noone to throw me a shower. My sister threw me my 1st one, and my father in law threw me my 2nd one. He was supposed to do this one too, but he passed away very suddenly at the age of 53 2 mths ago. That was very hrd to handle. Since he will never get to meet his two grandbabies on the way, but i stay strong knowing he's holding my daughter in his arms in heaven. I don't have that many girlfriends, actually a grand total of 4. and one is in Maryland. the others are my sister in laws and one just  a girlfriend. my sister moved to North Carolina so that is outta the question. Any suggestions?

I didn't get a baby shower either. I did for my first pregnancy and now people I guess seem to think we don't need one. I still have 3 weeks left to my due date but I am already in the first stages of labor. So I really don't think I am having one. It's very depressing; I know. My husband and I are scrambling trying to make sure we have everything. And now we are having a boy so we need all new stuff. Try dropping some hints around your friends and family. Or maybe your husbands co-workers. Any neighbors?

Oh man, wish we lived closer...I'd throw ya a shower. Try dropping some strong hints around. I thought we were only suppose to get one baby shower for our first child and then we were done, but I've been hearing more and more about 2nd baby showers. Are we to have a baby shower for each baby? that is they way I think it should be.... a baby shower for each precious wee one.

I didn't get one my second time. It wasn't really that I wanted stuff but I see a shower also as more of a celebration. A celebration of they baby and of becoming a mother again. I was very bummed that none of my friends thought to do anything.

vtmomof2 Homepage

  vtmomof2 responded September 20, 2007 at 1:30PM

  Life is crazy but wonderful.

I was always told that you only get a baby shower for the first one, and only for the second one if there is a number of years between them. Of course, I don't buy this, I think you should have a shower for each one. I had a shower for both of mine, but they were 6 years apart and I had nothing left after my daughter. Throw yourself a shower, put your hubby's name on the invitation, and have a wonderful jack and jill party.

You don't have anyone to give you a party? dang...I'm sorry. As for needing new things, buy consigned/yard sale. You can get good stuff cheap.I had mini-showers AFTER the second babies arrived. With my first I was kind of snobby, now I jump on any hand-me-down crap I don't have to buy.

Can you double-up and attend your sister-in-law's shower? does she live near you? do you have a random acquaintance you could at least plan a post-baby party with? Man, I have tons of baby toys/stuff...message me your address lol and I'll ship it over :) (for real if you know what you need)

If I lived near you, I would totally throw you a party (surprise, surprise)

I was bummed b/c I didn't get a shower for my 2nd. I think people feel you got what you needed for the first. But I thought of it as a way to welcome my 2nd.

I would either throw a "Welcome the new Baby" party or ask for one from your SIL saying your FIL wanted to do this, but didn't get a chance.

Just have a facewash when you feel sleepy and have some refreshing drink-coffee should help you....You can also do some meditation....Have your meals on time...Consult your doctor to recommend foods which will give you energy....

Newbee Homepage

  Newbee responded September 24, 2007 at 4:23PM

  

I am in my 22nd week and I didn't start getting the energy back until about week 19. Everyone kept saying just wait until the 2nd trimester and you will feel great. I got frustrated waiting let me tell you. I even told a few people that they were full of it because I hadn't felt great yet. The last few weeks though I have noticed a difference. I have actually had energy for cleaning the house, washing my car and beginning a remodeling project for my step daughters new room. Last night I was even irritated with my Husband because I had completed numerous projects throughout the day and all he had done was watch the race, hunting programs and polished off a six pack of beer. Anyway all I can say is hang in there and get the rest when possible. Your body is telling you that it is needed.

Well he came to his senses, thank god! I already had plane tickets booked for me and my son when he got home after work on Friday. I didn't talk to him at all. After coming inside from playing with Braden he came into the kitchen and apologized and said he wasn't thinking clearly, and was only thinking about jamaica. He said he still wants to go but when the timing is right and when I can go with him. i told him i was still angry and he had some making up to do. So saturday he surprised me by taking me to the mall, buying me new shoes, getting me a pedicure and haircut. I think mabey a couple cooked dinners and some loads of laundry and then he'll be off the hook. Mabey next time he'll think first! :-) Thanks for the support!!!!

Well my lvoing husband just called to tell me he and his buddies are going to Jamaica for X-mas. How lovely is that! Leave your 8mth pregnant wife and 4 year old son by ourselves for x-mas this year. I told him no, and he said it wasn't up to me. I swear if he goes, i'm taking myself and Braden up to my parents and we will not be there when he returns. Am i wrong or overreacting?

OMG you are NOT overreacting... number one its xmas... number two YOU WILL BE 8 MONTHS PREGNANT... How dare he leave you when you are that pregnant.. you could go into early labor or be on bed rest by that point. Not to mention the fact that you have already said that you need to be careful ... im seriously mad for you...seriously angry as I type. There is no way at that point you will be able to do all the things that need to be done at christmas ALONE... you should be taking it easy, but ther is no way that will happen if you are trying to make christmas for your 4 year old. Go to your parents and don't be t here when he gets back...

Wasn't up to you?!!! Are you kidding me? How absolutely inconsiderate. Is this how he normally acts? Those words are very dismissive and demeaning. If he normally talks to you in this manner, you should re-evaluate this relationship. Words of wisdom from someone who has been there. Don't let him get away with mistreating you and your children, he needs to get his priorities straight, he made this baby, he needs to see it through,and be there for your son. You should be more than angry, you should be insulted.

It's guys like this that make me understand why Oprah and Doctor Phil have such budding carrers.

If he does go, would you like some company? (wink, wink...)

I'm sorry this has come up for you. My hope is the idea will cool down in the next couple of days. If it doesn't, you need to tell him how this feels for you. Please don't wait. Don't yell, don't think he should know better - he should, just don't expect it. Tell him his family needs him. Simple language, but if you make it seem like you need him, it will come off selfish. I hope if you say, "your family needs you" it will shake him up. If not, I can give hime a call...

Peace.

I totally broke a molar while pregnant last time- I had to have a root canal and all that...fun

I broke my lower right molar a few weeks ago, and had to have a root canal and crown done. I was enjoying a nice bowl of chocolate ice cream with rainbow sprinkles when I noticed half my tooth was missing. But I love dental work so I was totally enjoying every second of it.

I have to find a work at home job, not a scam one. Does anyone know of anything that could help?

there are lots of at home sales consultant gigs such as discovery toys, Usborne books etc that are legit companies but in order to make any money you do need put some time and energy into them. You could also consider taking in a child to watch.

Consulting is a good idea, but you do have to put some money into it. I think Avon is one of the cheapest to start. I know we have an avon lady around here that makes a lot of money.

I just recently had dinner with my aunt, uncle, and my cousin Joe, who now lives in California, so I haven’t seen him in years. He was asking if I was still working and I said no. I said I was hoping to do something from home if I could but it just seems like I have tried everything out there and it all has failed for some reason or another. And I hate working outside the home. But I hate that I can’t contribute financially. Joe introduced me to this company called Cyberwize, and said a lot of stay at home mom's are doing this. He started selling for this company a few years ago. I decided to go ahead and give it a try. So far I have had a really good response to this and I am finally contributing financially which feels great. If anyone is interested, feel free to send me a message.

Bedrest

Kiara 3/02-5/02 Braden 6/03 In the Belief that EVERY CHILD SHOULD LIVE

 

What are the reason to be put on bedrest? I am so overwhelmed and stressed at work, then to go home and deal witha whole other job as wife and mom. My morning sickness seems to be doing the same as previous pregancies meaning it lasted the entire nine months and very severe. I'm already considered high risk. I'm getting light headed all the time. With my first pregnancy I was put on bed rest at 5 mths because of the severe morning sickness. I have a new Dr this time. Plus with my 2 miscarriages last year I'm curious as to why i'm not on it already. any ideas?

I don't know. I felt the same way when I was pregnant for my son. I was very swollen, and my blood pressure was high, but they did not put me on bed rest. They didn't have to, my feet were so swollen I couldn't walk. You didn't say how far along you are? Make sure your doctor checks your iron level. My iron was really low, and I was light headed, tired, and irritable. Some extra iron could make you feel better, if that is the diagnosis. Don't suffer, call your doctor.

I don't think they will put you there until you are showing signs (high blood pressure, preeclampisa etc) if you have concerns about the way you are feeling go see you doctor.

i didnt have so much of complications when i was carrying natasha... does the new doctor knows about you being on bedrest in previous pregnancy? spk to the doctor and dont worry everything would be ok

I had really bad morning sickness (why do they call it that when I had it all day?!) and my Dr sugguested b12, it didn't work for me, so he also suggested 1/2 a b12 & 1/2 unisom - worked wonders.

Also ask for help. Ask your friends and family to help pitch in. You can do it!!!

Unfortunatly, my sister in law is also pregnant, and my husband is tied up with side jobs and fixing up our house. The one person who always helped me was my father in law , who passed away suddenly last month. which has been another obstacle to get through. All of my family is in Pa, MD, TX and Cali, i have no family here

 

How can I convine my father to come for the birth?

Hey everyone,

 

I am very upset. I told my dad as soon as i found I was pregnant that I wanted him here. Since I know the date i will be induced it makes it very easy. However he just emailed me and said he had no intentions of being in the room with me. I said he could be in the hall. The reason it is so important is this is his 4th grandchild and my first born when i had her my father lived in Turkey, He never got to hold her before we lost her to SIDS. I don't know how to get it through to him how important it is to me for him to be here for this one. Help!

Did he give a reason as to why he doesn't want to be there? Maybe he feels uncomfortable seeing you in pain. It is a little personal and maybe that makes him uncomfortable also. Find out his reason and see if you can make a compromise. I'm sure they have a nice waiting room in your hospital where he can hang out, and than after the baby is born he could come in and hold the baby. By the sound of your post that is what you really want, for your dad to hold your baby.

do what I want to do to my father...knock him upside the head with a frying pan to knock some dang sense into the man.(jk) i had a scheduled induction and then an emergency c-section & I just wanted "someone" from "MY" family to be there for me but my father (the only parent left in my life) wouldn't take off work to be there for me (when they take off all the time for some kind of vacation) and that still ticks me off that I had "no one" from "MY SIDE" of the family there for me. I was fortunate to have my DH's parents there and 'his' brother & sister-in-law & nieces....who all saw me at my absolute worst ever! Ouuuuu sore spot there.
You deserve your father there with you and he deserves to be there too. Remind him of how precious this time is and you never get a second chance at it. A true bonding time. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. Good luck.

Everything seems fine. I have to wait for the blood tests to come back. Got a new pic of the baby. Go back for follow up in 4 weeks. I'll keep everyone updated!

It's 11:00 my time, and i have my level 2 at 2:15. Time is going by so slow. I'm nervous, excited and curious. I have a at home fetal monitor, but as of yet have not been able to pick up the heart beat. I will feel so much better when i see everything is fine. I when the Peri Dr tells  me everything is good with the baby. I am also keeping my fingers crossed to see if they will tell me the sex yet, I'm just dying to know! I hate this whole waiting period.

Thank you for keep us posted!! I could never get anything from my at home fetal monitor except the sound of the blood rushing & pumping. Is it too early to tell the sex?

Everything is going to be great! I feel it.

I feel for you. the waiting period sucks and I think more stressful than the event itself. hang in there. try not to worry (easier said than done). you are in our prayers. good luck. it'll all be ok.
