EDD March 1
Lets see now...I am completely exhausted, there is not enough sleep in the world. It is harder and harder to get comfy in any position. My hips are a constant source of irritation as well. I guess I will have to listen to the Dr and get a cane to help me out a bit. Phin is a kicking machine this past week, DH had a ball just watching my tummy roll around and see the the little bumps of feet and arms. He actually felt the head through my belly. We went to DH's work holiday party and there was a live band...Phin was a dancing fool! ^_^ Since I am on the short side I was getting nervous being around all the dancing people with their elbows at belly height to me. This past weekend we helped my MIL decorate her house and the tree and I kinda overexerted myself. I had a coup[le contractions and while it was happening Phin was kicking, it took my breath away and I just sat down. DH felt my belly and was in awe over feeling the contraction. Oh ladies I can't wait until March to meet my little guy.
I will admit that it is a bit of pressure being one of the few ladies that are due right in the beginning of March. I wish I got to read some of your experiences before getting there myself ^_^
Personal question...how has everyone else been dealing wih sex drive changes if any? I feel bad as my drive all but went away. Not due to self image or anything (I love my belly) but just the need for it has gone away...

Haha the itching on your breasts are likely cause their going to start to grow, stretching and all! Mine do the same! What helps, I use Aveeno 24 hour moisturizer, I lather myself up head to toe LOL BUT it stops all itching! I put it on after I shower, and then again before bed, mostly because my top for bed, itches the kapoo out of me LOL

EDD March 13th
Well I seem to get more tired as the days go by..... Of course I am not sleeping so well now a days..... My hips hurt so bad.... and I still find myself asleep on my back.... I guess Noah is ok bc he still squirms around and kicks.... I do switch back to my sides once i find myself on my back tho....I seem to be even more emotional these days... Feel like I could just cry at the drop of a dime...Its amazing to me to think that I will have a little one here on the outside in less than 80 days..... Im scared and excited at the same time.....
Oh and Sex drive... Ha Mine is at -0..... Poor DH, I try and explain to him that it is definitely not him, and he has been so understanding so far, but I do feel so bad for him, I dont want him to feel neglected but I just dont have it in me right now to do anything

EDD March 8
looks like I have a due date buddy! (Way to go Ashie) I am super tired lately and cant get comfy enough in bed. I sometimes cry because of exhaustion. It feels like eternity trying to fall asleep especially when DH snores.. does not help at all. Anyway
My Breast are itchy most of the times probably because I am leaking some colostrum already and it hardens as it goes out. I just clean it with baby oil but sometimes it gets so itchy I cant help but scratch... sorry TMI... any other ladies like me around here? and I could actually see droplets of white and clear stuff comming out after I clean them up.
I just hope this means I am able to breast feed. :0) woohoo! S-Drive? mine went down the drain too. And constant heart burn for me. NOt helping especially when I lay down in bed. I had to be in a sitting position to be able to get comfy but not comfy enough to fall asleep... I get maybe like 3 to 4 hours a night. that's it...
Regardless of all these, I am happy to feel my baby boy kick more often and strong kicks too.. he tickles me sometimes when he tries to squirm on my sides when I lay on my left. DH gets jealous though. :0)

Leighton is still stuck on my right side with her feet under my ribs, which are now bruised. So, with that said... I am rediculously uncomfortable! She has been SUPER quiet the past 5 days or so. I am not too worried because every now and again I will feel her jab me. I am only 4'11 (and a half!), so there isn't much room for her in there. I was told that is the reason why I am not feeling her move as much now, because she is taking up almost all of the room in there.
We had our 2nd birthing class Saturday... took the hospital tour and all that jazz. We have a docs appt. on Friday and am anxious to hear the heart beat again (even though we just had an appt. a week ago!).
Other than that... no real news to report on :) Sometimes, that is a good thing! And, the sex drive thing... totally agree. I don't even think I have a percentage left!!!!

Jules, That's what is happening to me...one week I'm all like "Bring it on cowboy" and the next week I swear I would do anything to get out of physical contact. He is understanding and we are very clse to begin with so it isn't that much of an issue. I was just curious. Pregnancy is the strangest and most exciting I think I have ever done.

Feeling pretty goood, but HUGE. I have heart burn pretty much everyday too, got it from gatorade yesterday which I never knew was possible.
Amy I am with you on the cravings and cereal. I kinda wish I craved weird stuff, but I just want food most of the time, and then something sweet after.
Kele I feel like my sex drive goes back and forth weekly, so I wouldn't worry t much like evryone said I would just try to not isolate DH whenevr you can. I dson;t think men realize that a sex drive can change much especially at our ages.
I am also excited that I am due the end of the month, I hope you all have a few minutes to fill those of us who are behind you in on the gorry details.

I have an increased appettite all of a sudden! haha At least it is for normal things...I STILL have yet to have a weird craving! (I am a little disappointed..) The only thing I do differently that I didn't do before is eat cereal. I eat cereal every morning. Occaisionally I will focus on one particular kind and then it will suddenly switch.
She kicks me ALL THE TIME. Sometimes I can't go back to sleep after a midnight pee run because she is getting me. Her feet are right by my ribs so she really gets me sometimes. When I have to pee it is the worst because she seems to know this and she will kick and punch and I have to find the bathroom right there or else I am scared I will pee on myself. I actually had a small accident when I sneezed the other day...I was not happy about that!!
I have heart burn almost all the time. Especially if i eat anything fried. (Even 7 hours later..) In our ultrasound the tech said she had LOTS of hair...so maybe that is a true old wives tale??
Jem- don't worry about the mayo and ranch...seriously! I eat them both like they are going out of style. The important thing is that they are pasturized and that they are "fresh". I will almost NEVER eat the Ranch packets that I get at Sonic because I found one partially opened once..that isn't good! But if they aren't expired or warm or in something "mass produced" (like supermarket potato salad etc) you should be ok. They use to tell pregnant women not to drink milk because it use to not be common for that to be pasturized (back in the day or whenever) and obviously that is ok now.
Kele- My sex drive went away the first trimester. Mostly because I was puking my guts out...but I still had "naughty" dreams. Sometimes those were more fun...haha...but almost every night now I have some form of sexual dream. I just missed being intimate with my husband...so now I try to make a point of having sex more. I still don't feel like I did pre-pregnancy, mostly because I am kinda scared of hurting myself or baby, but it helps when you are trying to keep your spouse from feeling too isolated I guess. I just hope I get my original sex drive BACK after delivery!!!! It is too fun of an activity to miss out on. :)

i know - thank god for you folks further along to pave the way ;-) I am 26 weeks 5 days - will be 27 weeks on Wednesday/Thursday.
Feeling great - have heartburn a little every day. Feeling kicks - but sometimes they are so low. I feel movement though throughout the day with breaks here and there. Next appt is Dec 26.
Oh - a question - I JUST found out that raw eggs are in mayo AND ranch dressing. I have been having plenty of both in this pregnancy. People say it is so processed so not to worry - but I can't help it. I hope I did not do damage.
I wake up with my back in a pretzel - and hips sore from sleeping too. FUN! I've turned our bed into a fortress of pillows. Other than that - feeling good!

I have lost count on how far I am, lol...I think 28w + some days or so But Due March 8 now. (They changed it 2 weeks or so ago!) Anywho, I haven't been getting much sleep. Last night I was constantly having to go to the bathroom, and one of the times I got up, it felt like my back was dislocated. Very well could have been something dislocated because when I was actually able to stand up some snapped back. Probably not a good thing! My left side if killing me more than the right. Oh well.
Not much longer to go!
Kele1129 - Everyones sex drive differs. Some will vanish because of how uncomfortable it is, and some will keep going. =) So it's normal, maybe please your hubby in another way!? Also, I wanted to let you know, I likely wont even make it to March being pregnant, so whenever I pop i'll keep you ladies posted!
