Hot running (newish) Momma's thread...

[purdy65]

See what happens when I check this thread periodically! Smiles and Scrummy are both expecting!

[Engmomma]

I'm excited to join this group Al and I are expecting, and Baby*Smiles will be arriving around April 2nd.

I love that I got the ultrasound pic last night while I was in a huge room of people. No one heard me gasp and giggle in excitement.

[AndyM]

Yay!! Congrats Denise!!

Awwww... that would've been the big long u/s right? Are you finding out the gender? We didn't and were really glad we didn't (it was lots of fun having everyone guess!) but everyone thought we were NUTS and I can definitely see the other side as well! If you can get an u/s towards the end, it's really cool- you can see way more. We got this adorable pic at 38 weeks that was a clear close up of N's face, and we would both just pull out our phones and gaze at it randomly.

We went in for our 12-week dating u/s & discovered we were at 20 weeks! Ninja baby kept hidden for some time...! That's why I ran an (essentially) untrained half marathon at 12 weeks pregnant. It wasn't until the week after I took a test and got the positive result

We won't find out gender until baby arrives Most people who have seen me with my bump insist it's a boy. I'm just hoping for healthy and happy We likely won't get another u/s, but that's ok!

Eng - your reaction is among my favourites! "Shut the full cup" text message response

[QuickChick]

OMG that's crazy!! So you didn't have any major first TM symptoms or anything? Your clothes still fit? I only started to like being pg at about 20 weeks because I finally looked pregnant instead of like I was just getting a gut! LOL. My pants stopped fitting at about 12 weeks. Yay for finding out the gender on arrival- I was SURE I was having a girl and was super surprised (thrilled, but surprised) when he came out a boy! I only got another u/s because I was randomly measuring small at 38 weeks. He had some ninja capabilities too I guess!!

No sickness, but I don't know about anything else. We relocated, got a puppy, got married, I got a job, hated that job, got let go from that job, got a new job, did home renovations on our new home, adjusted to our new city... I was exhausted but I thought that was normal

Our u/s was on a Tuesday (I was wearing my "TOM" clothes still - you know, the ones that fit when you are bloated but too big the rest of the month). By Friday of the u/s week, I couldn't fit into my 'normal' clothes (thank goodness I had ONE pair of mat pants!). Now I look like I have a soccer ball under my shirt.

Yes, it sounds like N is a ninja too Our EDD is April 2nd.. I keep telling Al knowing our luck we'll have twins on April 1st

[AndyM]

I didn't find out the sex with "A" either. I was convinced she was a boy so was just blown away to give birth to a beautiful little girl.

[FishPants]

I didn't know Morgan's gender, and that was not for lack of trying. I burst into happy tears when they announced "she's here". It was also good since we could not agree on a boy name and went to the hospital without one!

I'm so excited for more babies

[carm]

Congrats Denise and Jesse! Omg, I'm so out of the loop!
I delivered a baby girl on November 24th, Alina, so my mind is totally gone right now.

Congratulations to you, too!! Beautiful name

I think soon we are going to need picture updates from everyone. I am sure some of these maniac babies are getting big! And I love all baby pictures

Nice booties!

[QuickChick]

Yup he wears them most days! He peed on them again yesterday though so they're drying. I suppose I should not be lazy and actually take them off to change him, but he pees like one time in twenty!

Drying from being in the laundry, btw, not from the pee.

yay pics!

Anyone want to show off their santa and baby or child pics?

[carm]

I'm loving the pics including the ones in utero. I'm mobile right but will post one soon. Actually Jes is doing our newborn shots so I can definitely post then! Just a heads up that A is a lot older than most babies during their photo shoots so there is a strong possibility that she will be screaming her head off in all of them. Lol.

PS: I can't wait to get back to running!

[AndyM]

Awe...love the cutie baby pics! If I knew how to post one of my almost 4yr old beauty I would

[QuickChick]

Someone show her!! A is the most gorgeous little girl!

[Miss*Smiles]

Thanks!

I'm feeling kicks. I always seem to jump when I get kicked, it really startles me!

I just read your f/b comment about man-size farts and snores. I laughed out loud

[Jo-Jo]

LOVE the pictures!!!

I was over in the NET....and figured I should come here for official confirmation of your news.
Exciting times in RM Land for so many Maniacs!
