But it wasn't for me! My poor DH fell off a ladder in the garage and sprained his ankle. It was so swollen I thought for sure it was broken! But, thank goodness, it is only a sprain. It is really sore though, he got some crutches so he doesn't have to walk on it. The bad news about the whole thing is, my garage is a mess. He was insulating and sheetrocking and now he is too injured to finish the job. I can't even fit my car in! It is so cold outside here, I hope it doesn't snow!

I'm doing good otherwise. I'm enjoying feeling my baby kicking. Lately it's been harder kicks and I kind of jump because they surprise me. Today was the first day I looked in the mirror and felt like my belly really looks pregnant. Before I always felt like it looked kind of like just a fat belly. I'm starting to feel really scared about giving birth and having a baby. It's such a big responsiblity. Sometimes when I think about everything it makes me want to cry because it all seems quite overwhelming. I suppose this is pretty normal at this stage (I'm almost 19 weeks). Is anyone else feeling this way? Will I ever be less scared? Or will this last the rest of my pregnancy?

I hate to break it to you, but the worrying you feel now is just the tip of the iceberg. Even the labor and delivery is just a drop in the bucket compared to what you will feel the rest of your life : ) My boys are almost 3 (on Dec 7th, party is today, yikes!) and 6 months and all I do is worry. Are they happy, are they healthy, am I doing enough for them, etc. Enjoy the worries you have now, they will seem so insignificant once they are in your arms : )

Well, I'm on cd10, and about the start my OPKs.  I'm crossing my fingers, and hoping that I actually ovulate this month!  PCOS sucks, but I've been responding fairly well to my med regime, so I'm hoping that it happens this time.  Send good wishes and baby dust my way! :-)

Ooh, sorry about your DH; sometimes a sprain hurts worse than a break (or so I've been told).  Hope you guys are doing okay.  About your worrying, well, I haven't been blessed with a little one yet, but my mom tells me that she still worries about me all the time, even though I'm 34, so.... I don't think it will ever stop! ;-)

Good luck this month! I really didn't think I was going to get pregnant when I did, and I did! So our bodies can surprise us! I have noticed that everyone who comes to this board seems to get preggo eventually, I hope you are next! Take care! DH is feeling better, he's walking on his foot now, or I should say limping on it. He was able to move stuff around in the garage enough so I can at least get my car in. Yeah!
