Ok I have exactly one month left .... I do not have it in me. I do not give up easily in fact everyone comments on how stubborn I am but I can not be pregnant anymore. I know LO needs to reach 38 weeks but I am in pain all day every day - I really can't....I had no idea the end would be so hard.

So ladies what are you taking into the hospital with you? I have non skid socks, lip balm and insurance cards - I'm at a loss.... I have clothes, breast pump, etc for the hospital stay bag but what do you actually need for delivery?

Sometimes I get so angry at my DH and sometimes he is so sweet. I wish I could get off this hormonal roller coaster.

My cat love of lay on my belly and purr for Emma. She kicks when he starts and he purrs louder when she kicks him..... Friends from the start :)

I was out of service area for a few days.... And to be honest I can't remember the last day I posted so I'm going to wrap this up.
Day 18 - kicks?
Yes!! I felt flutters at 10 weeks, and other people could feel kicks at 16 weeks. Now you can see the impression of her foot when she stretches her leg out. She is really running out of room to "kick".
Day 19 - precious moment
The first time I saw her on the ultrasound- I never realized you could love someone you had never met, first time DH referred ...

Um so I just cried until my DH pulled over and bought me a honey bun.... I have never been so embarrassed in my entire life. I can't believe I just acted like such a baby.....

Day 17 - pampers or cloth diapers
Seriously I'm a closet hippie.... I really wanted to use cloth diapers but they are pricy when we are only having one child. Considered second hand ones and the filler with diaper cover option - seriously those things are disgusting you have to touch the filler full of piss and poo. Granted I understand I will touch plenty of piss and poo but I'm not volunteering for additional piss and poo touching. Even considered the diaper-less potty training but we will be ...

Day 16 - breastfeeding
I plan on it, got a pump for when I go to work but I realize it's difficult and with roll with the punches...

Day 15 parenting tips...
No one seems to know what's going on..... So there is no "right" way to parent. Keep your kid alive and ask for help, this may sound like I'm not taking it seriously but as parent-to-be I know there is an insurmountable amount of things that can go wrong and that I am human and will make mistakes. I won't be the first mother to make a mistake and it won't be my last mistake. I will love my little girl and deal with problems as they arise. What else can you ask from a par...

Day 14 - how am I preparing?
I have the baby's room put together and have washed the clothes we plan on packing in our baby bag. But really haven't done anything else....
