Awww, poor little thing. The one time Annabelle has had a cold was the LONGEST week of our lives since she's been here! The hard part was that we were all sick, so we weren't even up to giving her as much attention as she needed. I hope she feels better soon, and it's good that she got some meds for the ear. That should help a lot, and fast. I had a ton of ear infections as a kid and usually felt significantly better within about 24 hours of taking the meds.0 -
Hi! I've been kind of lurking on this thread for a little while, but I've been too paranoid to post until I got to a certain point in the pregnancy. We JUST started telling "the masses" (i.e. work people, large extended family) but we've known for what seems like forever!
I'm 18 weeks pregnant, due July 20thish. This is our first baby. My husband posts on the boards, too sometimes. He said he'd post in the thread with me, but we'll see!
ANYway....I'm just starting to get excited about being pregnant, but I still get scared about stuff going wrong, etc, etc.
Does that let up after a while?
Thanks!

Congrats guys!!!
It's an exciting time...helped me evaluate things in my life and helped me get all my finances in order. I cleaned like never before.
Keep the faith that everything will go well...take care of yourself and don't over do anything.
PissBottleWoman had a hard pregnancy...but after she saw Xavier for the first time...she said she'd do it all over again because she loves him so much.
Hearing the heartbeat for the first time...it's like nothing else.
Going for the ultrasounds and finding out the sex of the baby...one of the highlights.
It's a fun time...enjoy it.

Thanks PBM!
We got to hear the heartbeat for the first time a couple weeks ago. We go for the detailed ultrasound on March 6th and we should find out the sex then. Good times indeed.d'oh0 -
I've know I'm going to be a dad for quite a while now, but since last week I know I'm having a son.
And now here's the thing: I can't help but feel dissapointed. I absolutely hate myself for it. But I can't help it. I just had this aching for a girl.
Fact is: one of the reason I kept holding a pregnancy off, is because I was afraid it was gonna be a son.
I don't know why, really, but I think it's cause I'm afraid of the the father-son relationship, and how that evolves. I had a pretty fucked up one with my own father (a trend in my families history).
Now I know that doesn't mean anything, I know that, but it doesn't take away the feeling I have.
And I just always saw myself with a little girl, I really cherished the softness of it, a little girl and her dad. Maybe I am idealising it, sure, but I can't help it.
I have days where I tell - and convince - myself how great and amazing it's gonna be with my boy, but then all I need is one dad with a beautiful baby girl and the thought is gone.
I hope - and I know - that as soon as he will be born, Ill' love him so much, I'll forget all about this and feel very ashamed I ever had thoughts like this, but now they're there - and I hate it....0 -

Hi Jocelyn, welcome to the thread
Congrats on the pregnancy.
I totally understand about "lurking' on this thread, I did it too during the first month, b/c I wanted to be sure everything was alright w/my child. From my point of view, even when I found out my baby was okay, I still thought about the worst, of course, my friends and my boyfriend kept telling me that she was okay.
I know finding out the sex of the baby is going to be exciting since you get to see your little one moving like crazy and see what is going on in your uterus. *sighs* I tell ya, going through the morning sickness, backaches, etc. it was worth it all to see that little face on the screen ø~ø~ø~ø~ø~ø~ø~ø~ø~ø~ø~ø~ø~

casper leblanc,
I can kind of see where you're coming from. I honestly didn't care either way...as long as the baby was healthy I was going to be happy. I had different reasons for having a boy or a girl.
I'm overjoyed that we had a little boy though. I look forward to playing ball with him, teaching him about music, movies and tv (the things I know
), rough housing in the backyard and all the other things that come with it.
I don't think I bonded with Xavier immediately. Understand, I loved him from moment one, but I was a little overwhelmed at the time. I was sleep deprived, I was entertaining family and I was still a little new to the whole concept of being a dad. A few late night feedings, diaper changes and a Sunday afternoon with just us together helped bring me closer to him.
I looked forward to going home everyday to see him and I check our photobucket site hourly to see his various pictures.
Anyway, I hope I've helped. It's an emotional time...you will develop a bond with your son and you'll be extremely happy...I know I am.
Cheers,
PBM"We paced ourselves and we didn't rush through it and we tried to be as creative as our collective minds would let us be over some course of time instead of just trying to rush through a record"

I think most parents if they are honest will admit that they wanted one or the other sex. I for one wanted all sons, and I got them. My hubby wanted a daughter at some point...never got one, but ask him if he is disappointed now....He will tell you HELL NO! He doesn't envy all his friends having so much fun with their teenage daughters, every single one of them is getting a run for their money!! No need to feel guilty.....you will fall madly in love with your precious baby boy.

*May the Peace of the Wilderness be with YOU*
He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog. You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart. You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion.

I was sure I was going to have a boy.
All signs and everyone said. Its gonna be a boy.
So I prepared myself for a boy.
I really wanted a girl.
I wanted a girl soooo bad.
I packed clothes for baby to come home in.
A little blue checkered sleeper with a baseball theme.
And a little matching hat.
When baby was born I didint even check the sex as I held it in the tub.
And then my doula said "well Gen what did you have?"
Oh right! I thought and checked...
Ta Da! a girl!
Trust me once you see that baby it doesnt matter.
And now you can re write your families history.
I have a crappy relationship with my folks.
And Im determined to cuddle this kid till I cant cuddle no more!the person below me smells like cat pee and raisins...0 -

Buy a book called "Raising Boys" by Steve Biddulph. It will help you break the cycle of poor father/son relationships and help you treasure you son. It will also help you understand yourself better, did me.Music is not a competetion.0 -
