We never put anything inside the crib but the but the Queen, Pink Floyd and Rush blaring over the basement speakers I'm sure was soothing. :monkey3

ROTF :mwaha I am sure... did you get the baby some leather pants too :D

I just hope the baby is a better sleeper than his mommy. I am the worst sleeper on the planet. First ray of light... wide awake... noises... cannot fall asleep... it needs to be pitch black and silent.
 
I just had my George take another update picture. I am now almost a full 22 weeks pregnant and even though since three weeks ago I gained 1.2 pounds since yesterday I lost 1.6 pounds but that does not mean that my belly is all of a sudden really growing big time.

Nathan is most active around noon and around three in the afternoon… but when I am relaxed at night and George wants to try to feel his son he is hiding out the little naughty critter. Better for me though because then at least I can get some decent sleep. He is now the size of a carrot and by Wednesday he should be a pound or around that. I cannot believe it. A pound. It goes quickly.

Even though I feel like I have more energy than in the first trimester... working 7 days a week and then the long commute 6 days a week might be a little too much. But I will hang in there. I cannot wait to be able to look for another job after my maternity leave. I just cannot handle the abuse anymore. :monkey2

How is your wife doing Mith?

That's a great photo, Ness! Glad to hear you're feeling a little better - can't wait to see the newborn Nathan!! All the girls in the office are gonna bawl... something about babies just brings that out in women - although I've known men to get pretty mushy too ;)
 
Thanks for the pic Ness looking like a proud mum to be.:)

We had our final precautionary ultra sound the other day to make sure everything is looking good with the baby.:)

A few mths back during our previous ultra sound they saw a dark shaded area which they believed could be fluid between the chest cavity and lungs-an effusion.:monkey2

Obviously this news is every parents to be's worst nightmare.The doc explained that there were many possibilities some u dont want to even contemplate but also good news including that the fluid sometimes disappears on its own accord.

We remained calm and positive whilst obviously incredibly concerned and we were sent to a bigger hospital for a more detailed ultra sound to determine the exact nature of the problem.

To our relief they found nothing and we will never really know whether the fluid disappeared or that there was never really anything there to begin with but either way we're :D.

Anyway here's a few pics of the cheeky little bub.

I am sooooooo happy to hear that there was no fluid and that everything is ok with your baby. Because I am 36 they make you do so many tests to see if everything is ok with the baby that you start getting scared from the beginning. So far everything looks good here too. But am very happy for you that all is A-OK. :angelsmil

I just love love love your ultrasound picture and the 3D pictures. We just booked our 3D appointment for Monday night May 19th. I will be 28 weeks pregnant by then. It will also give a 4D clip on the cd/dvd that you get. It will be so awesome to see my little critter boy again.

Nathan is now the size of a spaghetti squash. Growing good. I cannot believe how quickly my belly is starting to stick out. Crazy crazy. At least it makes my butt look smaller :D
 
How's the back?

Still hurting really bad. I am going to buy our stroller or shall I say travel system for him tonight after work and will see if they have any back support things there. Not too many baby stores around the area where I live or I have to drive to New Hampshire. But working till 6 pm... then with traffic almost 2 hours to get home... then I do not want to drive another hour to go find it. For now I am getting lots of massages from my George :banana
 
It is true about the glowing. You are radiant!

Thanks Ness.:)

Yeah my wife is also 36 but there is really only the extra test for DS so try and remain positive and you'll be right.I'm sure everything will go well with the 3D scans and i hope your back eases up for you.;)

Look forward to seeing some pics,take care of yourself and that spaghetti squash and keep Georges hands working overtime.:D

I will be 37 when I give birth to the little critter. It will be so much fun being preggers on my birthday and can eat cake without feeling guilty. :D Although I must say I really have been eating healthy and am not craving junk food at all because it makes me sick.

Now I really am counting the days till May 19th for the next ultrasound. The 4D looks really amazing. I will have to figure out a way to show that to you guys too. :D

As of Wednesday he will be the size of a large mango. Growing bigger and his kicks are getting more heavy.

I have to tell this funny story. Two days ago, Nathan was kicking really hard. So I tell George to put his hands on my belly. Of course when that happens, the baby stops kicking. So George says to him... I am going to get mommy's milk jugs... two seconds later he gets a hard kick. We both started laughing so hard... George said it again and the critter kicked him again. Hilarious. Like he was staying... get your hands of my jugs. :D
 
Here another picture of my pregnancy... it looks like I swallowed a soccer ball. I am now in my 24th week of pregnancy and even though my weight is staying pretty steady my belly is growing like crazy. I cannot believe I am already 6 months pregnant.

Our little critter is kicking up a storm as I am typing here. He is mostly active during the day. Which is fine by me so I can sleep as good as it can get.

According to the weekly newsletter by baby.com our little Nathan is now the size of a large mango. He should weigh around a pound by now and is about 11 inches long. So I took my ruler and put it on my belly... I could not believe it how big that kid is getting. That is almost a statue lol :D

I still feel fine... just am really tired from working so much. But another thing happening... my feet... :'( I look like I have elephant paws. I am so unhappy about that. They are really swollen right now and I cannot put my feet up at work. Horrible. :monkey2

My George left for North Carolina for two weeks because his house finally sold. I miss him already sooooooooooo much. It is just my critter and me... these are going to be the two longest weeks of my life.
 
Time sure seems to fly by here... our little critter is now about 14 inches long... the size of an English hothouse cucumber. Who comes up with these things? :lol I started my 27th week of pregnancy. I cannot believe that soon our lives are changing forever.

On Monday night after work George and I will have our 3D/4D ultrasound. We are sooooo excited. Then we will be able to see the face of our little baby. I cannot believe it. I have not looked more forward to anything than this.

My belly looks now like I swallowed a basketball. Getting bigger by the day. Heartburn is still a major issue. After everything I eat I need tums. Ugh.
 
i am getting married this august, and we are planning on having children soon after considering she is 38. it's good to know that many people here have had positive experiences with birth in the upper 30s.
 
yup, my mother had me when she was 36 and my wife just had our lil one at 37 with no problems at all.

Ness my wife had the same problem with her feet. her ankles totally disappeared during the last month.
She wore her bedroom slippers everywhere. :D

That is awesome :D Congratulations. I will be 37 by the time our little critter will be born... my birthday is in July. So far everything is going great so definitely do not let it stop you from having kids. As a matter of fact... throw away the birthcontrol now... :D We were very lucky that we got pregnant right away. I wish you guys the same. There is nothing better than being pregnant. Even when the dad to be can feel the baby move when you are so many months along... it is just the most amazing miracle in the world.

Good luck and a life filled with love and happiness.

My wife was 32 when my son was born and 35 when my daughter was born and to this day she says it was the easiest thing she's ever done.
