Now that I am at 18w2d, I am feeling much much better. My sleeping habits are up and down, sometimes I get really good sleep and then other times I get no sleep due to not being able to get comfortable. I toss and turn alot, which keeps me up as well as DH. Yesterday we found out we are having a girl, I didnt have a preference other way. But was just excited to finally start referring to the baby by name instead of calling it baby in discussions. We are having a LIL GIRL!!! Her name is Addisson Michelle. Michelle is my mothers middle name as well as my Aunt (my favorite aunt). If it were too be a boy, which DH stated since we have a girl now, we must try for a boy. So when we have a boy his name will be Laiken Carter, which has a really long meaning behind it.

The "L" is for the two special men in my life who share the middle name Lawrence. My father and grandfather. The uniqueness of his name is attributed to my Uncle Ensell and counsin Zarion, I know no one else with these names. To round out his middle name is I think the greatest honor to the Matriarch of our family, My grandmother. Her maiden name is Carter which our heritage is French-Canadian. Found it only fitting for a middle name. All of these people mean so much to me and I wanted that love to reflect in my childrens names.

How does one get physical therapy put into their pregnancy plan? I have alot of what the DR referred to as round ligament pain, but I am also experiencing pain, a sudden burst of pain at times when I am laying down and doing nothing. Which she said should be kept an eye. I would like to do physical therapy in the water as to help reduce the weight on my body. We have a pool here at the complex, but its filled with kids and hard to get anything done with them ripping and roaring through the pool as kids due. So I am looking to to some prenatal water classes at our local Y to see if I can get in on one of those. because its just been too hot outside to get in my 15-20 minute walk in.

How is everyone else doing?View Thread

Thanks Ladies. I am feeling a little better (emotion wise) not health wise today. I talked to my husband this morning and explained that I understand that at times I can be highly emotional and extremely sensitive but with that said you constantly telling me that "this is what I wanted" just discourages me from talking to you about how I am feeling and then wind up feeling completly alone because no one understands how or what I am feeling. his response was I am sorry, I should stop saying that and say i know you wanted to be pregnant but this just isnt what you expected. And i replied "perfect".

Yes clothes no longer fit. I am mostly in running or gym shorts and sweat pants. I am waiting for a few stores to have a sale to make way for their summer attire and then i am going to go and get some maternity clothes. hopefully that will help boost me up for when I have lunches with friends or dinner with my husband.

I have the boppy pillow along with 3 other large soft pillows that I sleep with. But still I have trouble getting comfortable. I was a tummy sleeper before and find it very uncomfortable on my sides. but once asleep i sleep on my sides. Because I am constantly rolling back and forth. To the point I am alone in bed and my husband is on the sofa. he says my rolling keeps him awake at night.

To add to my stresses I am a full time graduate student and with no energy and wanting to lay around in bed all day, my work is starting to slip. And at this point, it shouldnt be. Two of my dreams are colliding together, making both difficult to handle. But I do not have the option of stopping either train. I am almost done with school and by the end of the year I will have a beautiful baby. I just have to continue to find things daily to look forward to. Looking too far ahead, it causes serious anxiety which then causes the baby to stress which then causes stomach cramps.

Thanks again for letting me rant and rave. I usually have it well together as I am studying to be a Marriage and Family Therapist. But as this pregnancy progresses, I am finding that I am no longer in control of my life or my feelings. They are ruled primarly by hormones and what is going on at that very moment.

Again thank you for your continued support!!!View Thread
