MommyToAshley wrote: They still kicking away? Is it to the point you can't sleep at night yet? Ashley was always most active at 3 am!!!

CantWait replied: yes I know what you mean, Anthony is most active between 12am and 3am.
And it's nonstop circus fun.... LOL

madaise replied: oooh... I remember those nights, lol!

KatieLeigh79 replied: Mine normally kicks from 3-6 and once in a while during the day - though saturday night i had food poisoning so bad i was up all night sick and made them rather mad because i didn't feel anything the rest of sunday as i got better - though this morning we seem to be up and happy that i finally decided to at least eat a bagel *lol*... though now i still swear id love to meet this little person, im starting to border on uncomfortable and even the few hours im working a week is getting harder and harder to do -

MommyToAshley replied: Katie, I am so sorry you were sick. But, glad to hear you are feeling better.


I hope all of you get some rest -- but, I'm jealous, I'm stating to miss those kicks...uttt ohh!

KatieLeigh79 replied: I'm already starting to wonder how depressed i will get to when im not used to the 3am wake up kicks Already told DH we need yet another but hes breaking out in hives from stress already worried about this baby & work and everything else - he's never acted like this before and im not sure what to do with him, he seems so drawn in and worried and im really not sure how to bring all this up to him *laugh* .. maybe we just need a shrink. Any advice, ive even offered to go away for a weekend to relatives but then hes worried the baby will make a surprise apperance and he won't be around.

TLCDad replied: I know the feeling But just let him know that once the baby is here, his emotions will change completely for the better. When I first held Ashley I could not understand how I could love something so small so much. To this day the memory of that day still brings tears of joy to my eyes!

supermom replied: Well, since we are barely eligible for this forum (due 8/20) then we do feel the baby, regularly, but not so bad yet that it's kicking dad or Anders out of bed yet......of course, like all of mine, when I try to lay down s/he gets active!

And KatieLeigh, you won't be depressed - giggle - you'll be too tired doing the 3 am feedings..... And glad you are feeling better, take good care of yourself.

KatieLeigh79 replied: ..Well i broke down and went to the Dr. because he just was refusing to move since Saturday Nights little party - She told me he is fine (i keep saying he but the heart rate this time was over 150 - higher then it has ever been) but stunned so thats why i feel no movement.. some days you really cant win *lol* i have a husband thats over stressed with hives & a baby thats protesting already and refusing to move because hes mad at me... Please tell me this gets easier!!

supermom replied: I am so glad the little one is fine. Please don't stress yourself too much, it's not good for either of you. We are thinking of you.

I won't say it gets easier, but it is DEFINATELY worth it. Like today when the 3 yo walked up to me and says, "Mommy, I SURE love you a lot!" - smile - it's all worth it !!!

TLCDad replied: Katie, what gave you food poisoning btw?

CantWait replied: That's too sweet supermom

MommyToAshley replied: Katie... I am sorry you had that scare. I went to the doc about two weeks before Ashley was born because I hadn't felt her move all day by 3pm. Ashley was a VERY active baby and it was so not like her to not move all day. I even ate orange juice and cookies and laid down on my left side for 1/2 hour. So, I finally went to the doc, and they decided to do an U/S. As soon as I was on the table, Ashley started kickin. LOL I guess sometimes they have lazy days just like us.

But, I think Supermom said it best with her story, it is definately worth it!

Supermom, you brought tears to my eyes. That could be a good hallmark commercial. I cry at those too!

MommyToAshley replied: LOL! You're gonna have an active one on your hands Ellie!

KatieLeigh79 replied: Stay away from Wendys Chicken Salad *laugh* im all done with that (as to the wonder of food poisoning) and the critter still is refusing to move!! But its okay the doctor said i probably really upset him (and now with the heart rate higher then ever before im wondering if it is a him!!) Anyone else after 30 some weeks find that your stomach just always feels full or "yuck" and your never hungry? Ive had a bowl of cereal and an orange today and that didn't even taste good

supermom replied: Was sick with #2 all the way thru the pregnancy, and never could keep anything down. Only time in my life that the doc told me I *had* to gain weight since I've always been on the heavy side!

But, if you feel yucky, part is because baby *is* getting bigger, taking up more room. Try eating smaller, more bland meals, about 6-8 per day, instead of three "regular" meals we usually eat. That might help you get over feeling yucky and full all the time.

Glad you are feeling a bit better, just take care of yourself and rest, and relax, and try not to stress too much...

<<hugs>>

MommyToAshley replied: I am with Supermom... stick with small meals more often. When I got that big, I ate more often and pee'd more often. I should have just moved my cot into the bathroom with a portable fridge. Or my cot into the kitchen with a portable pot. LOL
