Just checking in to see how all the September Mommie are doing?
So far so good here, having a very active little girl that we are naming Lucy.  I feel like a cow already and my biggest complaint is the swollen ankles and calves!  Hope everyone else is doing good!

yep, I was surprised that I have only gained 8 with my others I had gained prob about 12-15 lol I dont really eat a lot though due to heartburn boooo lol 27 weeks man all of us are getting up there now!!!! I have seen a kind of pattern with my LO but she breaks it often lol I know she's up about 6 in the morning, 9 or 10 def noon and I forget about afternoon hours but about 11pm she is raring to go while im trying to go to sleep!!! I was shocked too, when they told me I was dialated, they said no more working out and keep walking to a minimum until the end, drink lots of water booo and to basically stay in bed.. but I got kids so thats a no go but I take it as easy as I can..she really is a big girl and I cant remember if its normal to get a ultrasound in your 30 weeks but they said I will get one to determine size and weight, I said how she get so big when I really cant eat that much, they said its in the genes and my hubby is tall and broad in the shoulders, he is slender though so I joke and say hey maybe this one will be a model and take care of us! We can retire early lololol! Anyone else feel like no matter how long they are sleep they still feel tired?

I feel like I am CONSTANTLY tired too!  I could get 10 hours of sleep at night and by 10am the next morning I'm sitting at my desk at work and just completely exhausted!  Little Lucy is so active too.  I've only woken up to her kicking once at night so far but during the day she is VERY active.  I'm hoping she stays that way, up during the day and sleeping at night.  I had asked my Mother how I was as a baby and she told me that I never slept, so I am terrified I'll end up with a baby like that as well.  As I type this right now, I can feel her dancing around.  I could literally spend hours staring at my stomach during the day and watching it move.  Being a first time Mom, this is just facinating!

glad Im not the only one! My main concern is just getting her on a sleeping pattern at night once she is born..how am I going to stay up when I can barely hold my eyes open during the day? lol I know it will all work out but this being my third I am def done! Plus im 29 and ready to start doing some things for me, not being pregnant lolol

I am 23 weeks p[regnant with twins (boy/girl). Im doing great but I feel very pregnant now and I can't imagine how huge I will be at the end! Oh well,,,, taking a day at a time. I'm still working until the end of July. Something "funny" happened last week TWICE, I PEE myself after sneezing! OMG! I had to run to the bathroom and take my panties out, wash them and go commando for the rest of the afternoon. The other thing is that sleeping is not that fun anymore, I can't find my position and the paranoia of not sleeping on my back because it slows the babies heartbeat is crazy. The doctor told me to avoid sleeping on my back at all cost, it is not good for my blood flow and the babies. I am the most comfortable on my back :(.

Someone gave me one of those huge pregnancy pillows and they are SO COMFORTABLE! OMG! It tried it last night and slept like a log!. I wake up to pee like three times but i'm getting in used to it.


I'm also TINY!!! a 5 feet tall woman, so I'm hoping these twins will fit in my body at the end!!!

Good luck to everyone:)

I sleep normal as I've been doing.. Except in the first weeks, I was out by 10:30-12:00. I was so sleepy then.. Now I can manage to stay up until 1:30-3:30 on a good day lol.
I'm having some slight pressure in my lower abdomen and it definitely feels like he is head down now. With all the kicking he's doing to my ribs tonight lol.. He has been at it for 2 hours! lol
