BABY DUST 5 ~ Extra Sticky!

[Keeks]

Just thought I'd start the next thread since our last one is getting pretty bogged down by all our posts :)

[krissyy]

katebud-yay, you are entering second trimester!!  congratulations!  a huge relief, i'm sure!  the BH are rated a 0 for me.  they don't hurt, just feel weird.  the ones i have been having lately are a 1 or a 2.  they are more gastrointestinal and menstrual-like.  if only i could rate my labor contractions a 1 or 2!!!  i will spill the juice afterwards for anyone that wants the whole scoop!

keeks-the contractions are different than BH.  i'm still having those, but these others are more gastrointestinal and some are menstruallike.  i had several of the menstruallike ones last night and i was beginning to wonder if time was near...but i have been fine today.  i am hoping that some more dialating is getting done!!  are you still feeling good about going all natural?  i have a new sense of optimism and motivation about labor and delivery...i hope it doesn't wear off!  our spa director was telling me about her positive experience the other day and i was really inspired.  she used visualization...the only downside of her experience was she did poop herself!!

jamie-i just know i will at least toot during the pushing!!!  oh well, it will at least bring in some humor i suppose...

Nice, then I shall go to home depot or something and take a look, I will do their room half and half. due to they will be sharing the room one side will be boy stuff the other side will be girls. We have gone for the car theme by doing the red and blue for the boys, even their wall night lights are for cars.

Katebud- I wouldn't rate it a 1, but I don't think it is the most painful thing I have ever felt, I think its more uncomfortable then anything. Mine went straight to my legs, but I only felt 30 minutes of contractions that were a minute a apart But I think everyone reacts differently and feels differently I guess. I think it also helps on what your pain tolerance is

Stupid question, but to the ladies who have been having contractions...... on a scale of 1-10, how bad do they hurt?  (1 being pulling a band-aid off and 10 being the most painful thing ever experienced).

Today is the start of week 12!!  Only 8 weeks until I find out baby's sex!  (afaik).  ;)  

And CONGRATULATIONS Ash!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I hope you can rest up and join us again when you feel better!

Yep we live in an apartment , and the wall stickies are removeable , we got them at walmart , Im wishing now though that we had gone to Home Depot cause they had cuter ones!.....Once he grows outta Winnie The Pooh I REALLY wanna do Finding Nemo.....They are almost like window stickies but stick to the wall.....Super handy for apartments or places you dont want to paint....They have TONS out now , They have like Tinkerbell & Butterflies and stuff for a girl which would be a cute way to do up her nursery & they have like Cars Theme , Finding Nemo , Spiderman , you name it for boys!......They even make lightswitch plate covers in the theme too which is cute!

LOL Well, my doctor says they are usually really accurate when seeing the sex of the baby, and that they aren't wrong alot of the time. Plus if they are unsure about it then they will say the are only this many % sure, or they maye say they aren't sure, but they thought it was this. See I am starting to think its a girl and that she is right, now that I THINK about it there are little different things here and there for my pregnancy that weren't with the boys, I am very excited for having a girl.... I have 2 boys and a girl would be nice, plus the whole time my mom said it was a girl and lol I think that is funny.
Like I remember when she told me she didn't even hesitate about the fact that it is a girl, and she said she would not have said anything if she didn't see it so who knows. I'm sure we are all just being paranoid lol .

Krissyy- Oh yes I plan to do that next time, but we are pretty confindent in what she said that it is a girl though!! I mean she said she definitely saw it earlier and would tell us if we want to know.  About the pooping thing during labor, I have heard some women who have pooped, and some women who have thrown up. I personally never felt any of those for labor, and to me the whole pushing thing was different the pushing like you had to poop lol

Aww all you girls who pee and stuff that is funny!!! I am sure that is completely normal, and I mean it happens to the best of us lol
Keeks- I forgot to say your nursery is really cute, do you live in an apparatment and if so do they say its okay to put up that stuff? See we rent a town house and I didn't do anything like that for the boys room, but I am wondering if I can buy wall things that come off or something that I could stick on. Hmm I don't know lol. I had a room theme going for their room, but since we live in a 2 bedroom they all will be sharing a room for a bit, so its red and blue right now, now I have to add pink haha.

Krissy ~ It would be a suprise needless to say if you were right all along and it comes out a girl LOL.....I dont know how thrilled people would be who have bought boy gifts but sure be a story to tell LOL.....Yeah our nursery is neutral , I posted pictures the other day , once we get the dresser tommorow I will take some updated pics cause I gotta move around some stuff.....Dont worry your not the only one to obsess over everything to do with labor , I do all the time....almost every night I wonder if something is a sign LOL.....I havent had any surefire ones yet , other than just feeling "off" I guess , I dont know, Im really grumpy , I just feel incredibly annoyed at everything & I cant stop cleaning & organizing , I threw up the other night which hasnt happened in a long time ......Im sure it will happen when we least expect it too lol........Are your cramps/contractions Braxton Hicks? Or just not regular?...My Braxton Hicks have eased off quite a bit latley , I dont know if thats a good or bad thing lol

Princess ~ Okay you make me feel SO much better about the whole peeing thing LOL.....I hope you feel better soon & I cant wait for you to find out your induction date! Wont be long now!!! Its so crazy to think we'll all be holding our babies soon!!!.....I think your having a girl , but a boy would always be a nice change! Like Jamie you'll get to start shopping all over again which is a good & bad thing I suppose LOL

Jamie ~ See like you I didnt actually see for myself which worries me LOL.....I mean im sure they cant say for sure unless they are 100% but I wonder if they are ever wrong?.....Hmmm now im gonna google the accuracy of it LOL.....Be funny if I ended up with a girl and you ended up with a boy LOL
