My son in only 2 and I feel like I do laundry constanly for him. He is filthy all the time!

Enbwife...glad you are having some good "you" time. Enjoy it while you can...not much time left! How exciting!

Danzdol! Dylan is a cutie! How is he sleeping--does he still have his days and nights mixed up?

I remember crying like crazy after my son was born and I never knew why I was crying...it drove me crazy. My husband would ask me what was wrong and I wouldn't know what to tell him. It was hard on him because he really wanted to help, but didn't know what to do. This current pregnancy I have been emotional since day 1. Dumb TV commercials get to me...anytime anyone shows any emotion on TV I cry.

I get to have an ultrasound on the 25th of this month and we have decided that we are going to find out the sex of the baby! I am so excited! We didn't find out with our first one and I absolutley loved not knowing, but I just don't think I can handle waiting this time. I really hope they are able to tell us. I started feeling baby kick last week. I had kind of forgotten what a great feeling it is. Now I sit with my hand on my stomach constantly.

Wow - so much to respond to. Zachsmom - I'm due on Aug. 10th (just over 4 weeks now). Fsuanni - thanks for sharing your experiences with us... all these new moms can certainly benefit from such words of wisdom. :) Christina - I have to agree with the others - communication is the key and as long as you're open and honest with your son and advise him of all the dangers out there, especially surrounding sex, that's the first step. As far as giving him a condom, I say why not, as long as you tell him that you want him to be safe but are not condoning him having sex at such a young age. I know for myself, I had sex very young and my parents were not too open about the whole topic. I think I would have benefited from a more open communication with them... Just my 2 cents.

Jewels - good point about Banana... I think she's ahead of me so you're probably right. Hope everything went well for her. So exciting about your ultrasound. Neil and I have enjoyed not knowing the sex and everyone is so anxious to find out what we're having... I think we'll probably not find out for #2 as well. Neil says it's like opening a present early... It's starting to drive me a bit nuts now. I really want to know!!!

Danz, glad to hear you're enjoying Dylan. I couldn't believe how much laundry I did last week and baby isn't here yet. I've heard the breakdowns continue after birth so I'll be ready for them. The worst part about them is when it happens in a public place. Twice I've started crying in a restaurant (once in Florida), and one time in Walmart. It's so embarassing because I couldn't stop!!! Everyone was staring and there was nothing I could do. Neil just sat there and stared at me, not knowing what to do or say. Poor guy (LOL). :)

We should make a list of everyone that is expecting with the closest ones to labor on top so that we can keep track.

I can't believe how this thread has grown! To think I figured that I might get a tiny bit of support from someone out there like me and the thread has been more than that. Thanks to all of you sooooo much.

Jewels: I can't complain with his night schedule. He feeds like around Midnight (which is the time my hubby and I go to bed anyways) , then around 3am and then at about 6am. He then stays awake (like right now he is in a bouncer dome next to me)until like 2pm when he takes a nap and then wakes again when daddy gets home in the afternoon.

Of course everything changes depending on the day and what I need to do. Tomorrow I have to go to a clients house and I have to take him with me so I am scared. The client will not be there but I have to spervise a bunch of workers. We'll see how it goes......................

ENB: I had a breakdown once when I was about 4 months. To make a long story shorter, I went on a cruise and I wanted a WELL DONE burger for lunch and the man next to me was eating one that was all red. When I told the waiter to make mine WELL DONE he said he could not promise that it would be like that because they came out in bulk. Of course I started crying " I don't want a red burger, oh no!!!!!!!!" He looked at me like I was an alien and my friend said to him "Don't worry she's pregnant"...On the bright side---my burger was nice and burnt!

I had a lot of those outbursts....

Oh that's hillarious Danz! My emotional breakdowns have always involved Neil in one way or another.... funny, isn't it?

Go to Dr. tomorrow for regular check, then weekly from here on out. My good friend at work had her baby girl, Emma, this morning at 4:45 am. She went through 26 hours of labour, only to have to have a C-section because Emma was stuck. She called this morning and sounded utterly exhausted. We're going to visit her tomorrow. So much fun!

I haven't had my baby yet! I'm due the 19th. I went to the doctor and he finally started doing cervical checks. My cervix is thinned some and he could feel the baby's head. That seems odd because it didn't hurt at all so the baby must be really low now.

Just had my baby shower also (finally!). I got lots of nice gifts and it was a lot of fun. The only bad part was getting the photos back. I looke HUGE. I was thinking I was really cute in my new dress, not so.

For some reason I was thinking you were due at the beginning of the month! My neighbor took a picture of me the day before I gave birth...I can't even look at it and have shoved it in the back of the baby book, it's awful, I look like a water balloon! I had no idea.

I hope all goes well for you...will be thinking about you!

Glad to hear all is well, Jewels. Does your 2 yr old know/understnd? Our 3 yr old says the baby will be a boy & he wants to name him "sticky Spiderman" He also says that he has a baby in his tummy.

Hi Yuhuru! I was just thinking about you earlier! My son doesn't understand yet. I have showed him my belly and told him there is a baby in there, but now he likes to lift up other peoples shirts, and his own, and say, "Baby!" Sticky Spiderman sounds like a good name to me!! Are you going to find out what you are having? How are you feeling?

Hang in there Banana - not much time left now - so exciting! I know what you mean about body image. I sometimes think I look really cute, then see a picture of myself and think "I'm never wearing that again!!!". We just got a digital camera yesterday, so Neil will post some belly shots on here this weekend. :)

Hi Jewels,
I'm fine. I feel good. Just a little more tired than the first time. I still have a loooooooong way to go. I'm also I lot less patient this time with the wait.

I ditto the "you look so happy" comment. Your eyes speak for themselves (they have a tender look to them) and soo cute.

I love the one with the "what to expect" it's really great and one we can all identify with.

Keep 'em coming!
