hopeful2006,
I'm sooooo happy to hear the results, now you can breathe and just relax and enjoy the rest of your weeks.... Do you have to be on bed rest after the sewing process?

thanks so much ,,

yes now i am just going to concentrate on how big my belly will get and i cant wait to feel this lil angel for the first time ..

we find out what the sex is on 4/11/06 if baby cooperates. lately has been moving all over the place in songrams.

yes i will be on 3 days bed rest after the cyrclage. but after that dr said i should be fine to return to normal life - except watching my activity level and of course no lifting.

Carrie,
Did you end up quitting any of your jobs or did you take maternity leave? I remember that you had 2 jobs.

NOPE ... i cut back my days for my night job from 6 to 4, but still work both jobs - but now I have off on weekends to rest and get my house in order instead of before just having sunday off to do everything.

i feel fine i am not exhausted - i think i got past the point where you fall asleep at your desk from fatigue. I actually have energy and am not getting as sick. i still do, but not as often - certain foods and I am still learning what they are - like today - creamy italian dressing on salad - that is a big NO NO ..

I will work all the way up until they take the stitches out and that will be about 2/3 weeks before my due date and then they will want to see me a lot so i probably will take off around September 19th - 10 days before baby is due.

what about you?

It's been pretty easy for me, I got laid off a year ago and decided that I would retire. Maybe when the kids go off to school, I might get a part time job but as of now, I've been a professional couch potato and loving every minute of it. Don't get me wrong, I do things around the house but I also get my rest.
I just can't believe how fast my weeks have gone by. I'm already 6 months.....

Wow I would be so happy to stay at home - but i think i would get bored too easy - i am so used to always working - but i know as soon as junior comes i will not even want to leave the house .. i only get 6 weeks leave and that is hardly anytime - it just flies by.

Wow - 6 months - I was saying today how slow this is going for me - it seems like ages since i got the results, but i am still only 13 weeks actually exactly today 13 weeks. on the other hand that is super becuase i have so much more to experience that i have not had the chance to do in 20 years. i am so excited every time is ee the baby and cant wait to feel it. DH is really excited too and kisses my belly and talk to baby a lot. he is going to be a wonderful "old daddy" . I tease him all the time becuase we will both be 40 when baby comes. but to be honest i don't even feel 40 - i have always looked young and acted young except maturity level. noone ever believes i am 40.

take care and you have 3 more wonderful months - you know what you are having right?

Carrie,
We are not finding out until the delivery. I've been buying neutral colors and outfits w/ ducks on them. We figured once we have our babies then we can do our shoping for boy or girl outfits.

I have a feeling it's a boy and girl, so we'll see.

I want to know because I want to do the whole room in teddy bears for a boy and lavender and white for a girl with beautiful flowers or something feminine.
