Hi girls!
I hope you had a good Soon-to-be mother's day weekend (or actual mother's day if you are already one!). Mine was good--we got around to do a lot of organizing and cleaning. It's sad when that becomes a 'good' weekend.
Evyn--I think it's normal to not feel the baby sometimes. I think, too, that you're still early enough that movements won't always be felt by you, but are actually going on on the inside. But, if it worries you, like I always say, give your doctor a call--it's what they are there for (says the girl who didn't call her dr last weekend when I didn't feel the baby as much and my dr got mad!)
Bobbysgirl--I think ALL pregnancy is normal to have cramping and pressure, lol. I think a lot of it has to do with stretching of the uterus, which you are in prime time stretching mode!
Maternity clothes. I tried to buy as little as I could, which is amazing since I am such a clothes person! But I didn't want to 'waste' my money on something that I might never wear again. I bought several tshirts from Target, a nice pair of designer jeans (hey, I'm a snob!), a pair of Gap jeans, a few other pairs of pants, a couple skirts, a couple dresses, and a couple shirts. I only outgrew stuff starting this past week or 2, so that's pretty good, but almost more annoying, because I have such a small time left that I don't want to go out and buy more stuff, but I don't want to be indecent at work either!
contractions...I think I might have had some this weekend! But I'm not really sure. It was just a really crampy/achy feel and spread to my back. It felt like AF was coming. But lasted for like half and hour and then would go away...
Aturn and Heidi--that's cute about the cards from the babies!
Aturn--about the BF--I have NO idea. I would imagine if you are able to do it from the start then you'd be fine to keep going. Like if you never had issues then I think it'd be possible. That's awesome that you're thinking of doing it for that long. I'm definitely planning on it until I go back to work at 3 months, and then see how things go from there.
