This Is the Pregnancy Commiseration and Support Thread

Post her pic in all the threads imo.

Because look at that face.

it is the all knowing buddha baby smile

Somewhere between "jolly farmer" and "mad dictator"!

Awesome babby!

sleeve! she has the best name & the best face

best name and best face yes, but c'mon y'all got to give it up for the hair

(congrats sleeve!)

thanks y'all.

tbh I did not expect this level of emotional involvement with somebody that I share no genetic material with (she is technically my step-granddaughter, my wife is the one who is especially delirious with happiness as a first time grandma). but yeah the hair, the face, the eyes... it just slays me. I can see my wife's son in her face.

rrrobyn, Isolde's parents watched"Happiest Baby On The Block" as well! I now know the five "S" things.

The family lives around 5-6 hours away, so it's not too bad for visits, but we only get to see them every month or so.

cutiepies >>>> sharing genetic material

sleeve, my stepdad is Ivy's grandfather (or as we like to call him Pop Pop) and it is a wonderful magical love to behold. My stepdad and I are never going to see eye to eye on a lot of things but I love him dearly and am so happy he's a part of Ivy's life.

So I guess just big ups to stepdad grandpas and I'm so happy for you and Isolde.

Awww, my dad is a stepdad grandpa to his partner's daughter's twins, and he's in deep. He just built them an insanely complicated and inappropriately delicate train set <3

My wife's parents are divorced and both are remarried, so my impending kid will have six total grandparents which is kind of awesome as I only ever knew three of mine, two of whom have been gone since 1989.

It's an open adoption also so who knows how many more "grandparents" might be involved on some level.

Yeah cosign to everything said above.

Also there was a point this year where I half-seriously considered getting a "5 S's" tattoo

Nora was born 15 days ago today. Thought I ought to check in.

How's it going?

Pretty well so far. She only woke once last night for a feed, she's putting in weight well, and she's a pretty content little baby all told. Feeling very lucky.

Congratulations :)

Realised I missed a golden opportunity for 'bahn in mi oven' display name :(

:(

lol :)
it's good you're leaving that dn here though for the next victim i mean happy pregnant person

I pass it on to my first-bahn son

A+ :)

I'm here again. Quite precariously since I haven't cleared the appropriate amount of weeks to be safe. But I've been so ill. Terrible morning sickness, not at all the bliss of the first pregnancy. Trying the new morning sickness drug but it's not making me drowsy anymore. Keeps me up. So here I am after a very long absence due to no longer owning a laptop. And decided on this board since I'm wide awake and feeling like shit.

<3 *tera
Hope it passes soon. I felt sick with mine but not enough to actually throw up - and that was bad enough, although manageable. So hard to get through the day.

PS Congratulations!

Thank you! It was an awful night but the meds kicked in and I'm coasting on them this morning.

Congrats, Tera! I bet August is so excited!!

congrats tera! sry about the illness stuff though, that's rough :/

Thank you!!! She was but it's now abstract. Now she mostly reassures me that she is still a baby who needs me.

I was able to control terrible morning sickness with deep breathing. That felt good. Today though, went out and about so I took the medication and after the best pizza of my life, was overwhelmed with drowsiness so I crashed for several hours. Ugh. My first pregnancy was not so incapacitating this early on. Maybe I need to scroll up and check that.

Come Monday I'm a single parent again, all week, so I need to get it together. Although, having my husband around during this rain break...binge watching Girls... Has really been like a real Spring Break. My Monday will be like any Monday after a long break.

I'm so happy for you, tera! Except the morning sickness part, I hope that passes quickly!

Sadly, the pregnancy ended a month after I posted this. It was a moment of overconfidence I was ultimately glad I had.

Oh *tera, I'm so sorry.

Hugs and love to you

hugs & condolences tera, i'm so sorry <3
