We're sticking with some family traditions: If it's a boy, we'll be naming him Ethan Robert. (The E comes from my husband's grandpa, and Robert is my dad's middle name) If it's a girl...we haven't picked out a first name yet, but her middle name will be Nancy (after my grandma who passed away last year). We figure, we're not going to go crazy trying to figure out a girl's name until we know for sure that we have to. 9 more weeks until we find out!!!! :nanner: |

Title: Re: Big news.... Post by ChickenCookie on Jan 11th, 2008, 11:14am Ethan Robert is a great name, Mel! I can't wait to hear what you're having! :D I can't believe we have to wait 9 more weeks, lol! Have you tried the Chinese baby gender predictor thingy that's floating around the internet? It correctly guessed I was having a girl, though it's a 50/50 chance so I'm not sure if it was luck or accurate prediction. ;) |

Title: Re: Big news.... Post by iris3732 on Jan 11th, 2008, 12:50pm Ethan Robert. That is a good name :) Plus the Ethans I know are hot. Look at Ethan Hawke. Plus there is an Ethan in my office who's not too bad looking :) And if it's a girl, she'll be beautiful of course! on 01/11/08 at 11:14:00, ChickenCookie wrote:
Is that where you stick a needle and string in the eraser of a pencil and hold it over the person's wrist so it swings? My mom's been doing that to my friends and so far it's been right on. According to it, I'll be having 2 girls. We'll see when the time comes :) |

Title: Re: Big news.... Post by rzezniksangel on Jan 12th, 2008, 9:28pm I had never heard of the Chinese gender predictor....so I googled it and filled it in. According to the site, I'm having a boy. KEEP YOUR FINGERS CROSSED!!! (hubby & i really want a boy!) |

Title: Re: Big news.... Post by rzezniksangel on Jan 20th, 2008, 8:49pm I can tell in my clothes that I'm growing, but since I was heavy before I got pregnant, it will be another couple of weeks before I start showing. Once I do, I'll be taking weekly belly pics. |

Title: Re: Big news.... Post by rzezniksangel on Feb 24th, 2008, 10:25am We felt the baby kick for the first time last night...it was the most amazing feeling ever!!!!! And yes, I know, I need pictures. I have to take some first, I've just been lazy.... |
||
|
Title: Re: Big news.... Post by Shannon on Feb 24th, 2008, 10:29am Isn't it cool. It's the one feeling I miss about being pregnant. Just wait until the baby gets bigger and the movements get stronger. At some point you'll actually be able to see a hand or foot move across your belly. It's amazing. I'm so excited for you! |

Title: Re: Big news.... Post by ChickenCookie on Feb 24th, 2008, 1:31pm LOL, I remember the first time I felt that ... thought it was gas. :-[ Then I tried to brush it away, like it was a bug crawling on me or something. Took me a while to figure out what that weird sensation was! ;D |
||
|
Title: Re: Big news.... Post by rzezniksangel on Feb 24th, 2008, 7:22pm It really was strange...I was sitting on the couch and all of a sudden felt this wierd feeling in my abdomen. I got up, not knowing what it was...but it stopped. I sat back down, and it started again a few minutes later, then I realized "DUH!", it's the baby!!! So I made my husband put his hand in the spot where I felt it until it happened again. It's the coolest feeling in the world!!! |

Title: Re: Big news.... Post by d.e.n.i.s.e. on Mar 2nd, 2008, 12:51pm Well, I just about never come to the Off-Topic section of the board. Today I decided I'd take a look. This is the first thread I opened, and what a nice thread it is. Congrats to you and your hubby! ;D |

Title: Re: Big news.... Post by rzezniksangel on Mar 19th, 2008, 7:33pm Monday is the big day when we find out if the baby is a boy or a girl. I can't wait!! The suspense is agonizing!!! |

It was at 16 weeks, and I'm now at the beginning of week 22. I'm just really bad about taking pictures of myself! ;D http://a905.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/70/l_2a97ccfc29b80ee26475ef4386b35c70.jpg |

Title: Re: Big news.... Post by rzezniksangel on Apr 8th, 2008, 8:16pm Almost to week 24...time is flying!!! My little boy is kicking up a storm...I can't wait until the kicks are strong enough for my husband to get to feel them. He's a little bummed that he hasn't been able to yet. It's such an amazing feeling. And I feel like I'm getting bigger by the day! LOL. I really need to take another picture...I swear I'll do it soon. I look so much bigger than in the one picture I've taken so far! |

Title: Re: Big news.... Post by rzezniksangel on May 12th, 2008, 8:43am A little worry yesterday...I was in a car accident. I'm pretty sure my car is totaled, but I did go straight to the hospital by ambulance and had everything checked out. They did an ultrasound & said Ethan is okay....they also thought that 28 weeks was my first trimester though, so needless to say I'm going to see my doctor this afternoon to have him check me out. I'm a little banged up, but no major injuries...thank god! |

Title: Re: Big news.... Post by DWG on May 12th, 2008, 12:06pm Oh, man...sorry to hear that. I'm glad you and the baby seem to be okay. Try not to worry, I'm sure the doctor will keep an eye on the both of you. |

Title: Re: Big news.... Post by rzezniksangel on May 12th, 2008, 8:59pm I definitely felt better after going to my doctor today. Ethan is fine...I just have to take it easy until my muscle aches are gone. I'm a little banged up, but for the most part I'm okay. My car has been deemed a total loss...so now I have to go through all of the stress of getting that completed and getting the money to put towards a new one. UGH. One headache after another. And back to work tomorrow... |

Thanks guys, I'm doing much better. We have another car to drive, but the first time I had to drive by myself I was literally bawling my eyes out. I was petrified of getting in a car again. But you have to get back onto the horse and ride again! I hope you're doing alright Melissa and I hope that you're able to get back into the car soon, or already are. |

Title: Re: Big news.... Post by rzezniksangel on May 14th, 2008, 7:48pm My car is totaled....driving a rental until Tuesday, then my husband has to chauffer me around for a little while until we find something new for me. I should have my check from the insurance company next week, so I've got some time to take advantage of the pampering :) I'm really sore though. The internal brusing is starting to show...I've got one hell of a black & blue mark across my tummy from the lower part of the seat belt...and my knee is all puffy & black & blue....I'm just in alot of pain...and trying to avoid taking tylenol unless it gets unbearable. Lauren, I'm glad you're okay! I rear ended someone once and it was the worst feeling in the world! I know what you mean about being scared to drive again...when I got into my rental car on Monday I almost didn't want to turn the key! I'm just glad you're okay!!! |

Let's hope this doesn't develop!!! |

Hubby and I are closing on our condo this week, and we have lots to take care of before we can move in. I have TWO baby showers over the next two weeks, and I have to pack up the apartment to get everything out of here in time. The good news is that my little boy is growing like a weed...and I can no longer see my feet. He moves around like crazy, and has now figured out how to kick mommy in the ribs! I'll be taking more pictures this weekend (and hopefully will remember this time)...and will put them up as soon as I can. 49 days to go!!! |

Title: Re: Big news.... Post by nmf016 on Jun 26th, 2008, 4:53pm I've just got to say that I love the little count down you have in your sig line.

You must be so excited. :D |

Title: Re: Big news.... Post by rzezniksangel on Jun 26th, 2008, 7:16pm The site I got the ticker from had 2 options, one that just gave the size, and one that gave random facts...I obviously chose the random facts, and have gotten a kick out of it every time it changes. There was one week where it said something about the fat deposits increasing around his body and his fingernails being formed. |

Title: Re: Big news.... Post by rzezniksangel on Jun 28th, 2008, 9:06pm I had my baby shower today...talk about another snap into the reality of how fast this is all happening! I can't believe I'm under 5 weeks to go now....wow... |

Title: Re: Big news.... Post by rzezniksangel on Jul 5th, 2008, 7:25pm I'm now starting to have complications...doctor is testing me for preeclampsia/toxemia. I'm really nervous!! He may have to take me into the hospital to deliver a couple of weeks early....which scares me, because I'm soooo not ready yet!!! Everyone keep your fingers crossed that my little one can hold out just a few weeks longer!!! |

Title: Re: Big news.... Post by Shannon on Jul 5th, 2008, 10:02pm I will definitely keep my fingers crossed for you Melissa. Are you on bed rest now? I'm assuming they want you to drink lots of fluids too right? Try to stay focused on the positive and not worry too much.....that's not good either. Thanks for all the updates. I can't believe he's almost here already. Time flies ... |

Title: Re: Big news.... Post by rzezniksangel on Jul 6th, 2008, 1:27pm I'm on "partial" bedrest. Meaning I can go to work, and go grocery shopping, but that's about it. I need to be home with my feet up the rest of the time. Which really sucks since hubby & I are moving into our condo on Saturday and there's still tons of packing to do! LOL. I do have to drink lots of fluids, but I do that anyway, so it's not a big deal. I'm just anxious to know how my test will come out later this week....I hate waiting!!! |

Title: Re: Big news.... Post by Shannon on Jul 10th, 2008, 5:46pm That's excellent news Melissa. You must be relieved. It's hard to believe you only have 14 days left. I know you're ready. |

Title: Re: Big news.... Post by The Cerulean O on Jul 20th, 2008, 12:03am Really? Cuz by the end of both my mom's pregnancies (me and my little brother), she was jumping off porches and eating spicy food, trying to get us out. She wasn't a big pregnancy fan. |

Title: Re: Big news.... Post by rzezniksangel on Jul 20th, 2008, 10:04am I hear that from alot of people...that the last trimester just drags on forever. But for me, the entire pregnancy has been a blur. I guess I've just had alot going on in my life that didn't let me focus on how much I'm ready for our little boy to arrive. |

After my labor failed to start I went in for a c-section at 2:00pm....and my little man was born at 2:19pm. He weighed 6 lbs 4 oz, and is 18 in long. He's the most beautiful little boy I've ever seen!!! I'm working on uploading pictures, so they'll be up in the next day or so. |

Title: Re: Big news....*updated with new pictures* Post by Shannon on Jul 27th, 2008, 8:49pm Awwww.....he's precious. Look how much hair he has! What a cutie pie :love: So how often do you just stare at him? That's all I did with my daughter ... just held her and stared at her. When my son came along I just didn't have time because my daughter was little too. So enjoy the first because you have the time to absorb it all. |

Title: Re: Big news....*updated with new pictures* Post by The Cerulean O on Jul 27th, 2008, 11:32pm Oh my Gooooood! He's ADORABLE!!! I'm gonna be honest -- Babies normally take a few weeks to get to the cute stage. It's the truth. Often, they look like Gollum straight out of the womb. So...If this is what your baby looks like now.....What is he gonna look like this time next month? You're gonna have to beat the baby girls off with sticks. It's all true! |

Follows your voice when you talk to him...looks in your eyes when you hold him. And he's already trying to push himself up & pick his head up....it's amazing.

He was giggling & smiling last night when I was drying him off after his bath. Most babies don't do alot of this until they're at least 2 months old...and he's only 2-1/2 weeks! |

It was awful! LOL. I cried the whole way to work...and now that my hours have changed to 7-4, Ethan and my hubby are both sleeping when I leave the house in the morning, so I didn't even get to kiss him goodbye! Luckily for us, my mother in law was able to switch to working the night shift so she works from 4-11 and watches Ethan during the day (she and I work for the same company, so she just drives him to the office, I pull the carrier out of her back seat and put him into mine, get in the car and drive home). Its hard...but I'm sure as I get used to the idea of having to work, it will get a little easier. Today, when I called to check on him (and yes, I swear on my own life that I only called once), she put the phone up to his ear, and as I was talking to him she said he stopped sucking on his bottle and started looking around as if he was looking for me. I of course immediately started crying and everyone in the office thought something was wrong. I'm such a sap! |

Title: Re: Big news....*updated with new pictures* Post by Shannon on Aug 27th, 2008, 10:20am I remember how hard it was leaving that first time. What a great mother-in-law you have though to switch her schedule and help you out. It must be a relief to know he's at home with family. It seems like your time off just flew by. I can't believe you're back to work already. I went back after 3 months and I still felt like I wasn't really ready but at least at 3 months she was mostly sleeping through the night. I can't imagine going to work after getting up a couple times throughout the night. Kudos to you for that one. |

Title: Re: Big news....*updated with new pictures* Post by rzezniksangel on Aug 27th, 2008, 6:01pm I would be in heaven if I could have taken 3 months off! I had one month of time off saved up at work...paid...thankfully. Florida is one of the few states that doesn't give short term disability...to anyone. Thanks alot Aflac! So I had no choice but to go back this week. Plus, come to find out the reason they didn't set up for me to work from home is that my boss is too dependent on me. Apparently, I'm being punished because I'm too good at my job. UGH! |

Title: Re: Big news....*updated with new pictures* Post by rzezniksangel on Sep 13th, 2008, 8:55pm Our Burlington Coat Factory sucks...the baby depot is only a couple of aisles. Babies R Us has become my favorite store....and I spend alot of time in the baby section at Target :) Not sure if you're going to be formula feeding or not...but if you are, register on Enfamil.com and they'll send you $5 coupons for formula, and we even ended up getting 2 free cans! Trust me, it's a lifesaver! |
