God yes! The trailer is horrifying. I practically have a panic attack when it comes on.

Thank you so much for the advice and congrats on your 4th!

Hah! Nope I wish I didn't swell. I haven't been able to wear my wedding ring since like 26 weeks and my ankles currently look like softballs. Thank you and good luck & congrats to you as well!

Mr. Haa and I both give each of our kitties voices and make them say stuff to each other all the time. It's a little weird, especially since we started doing it in front of our friends subconsciously. Ha!

Well Jezzies, it's finally hitting me full force. I'm 37 weeks pregnant today, meaning this little girl could decide to make her entrance any day now. Meanwhile I haven't felt so much as a Braxton Hicks contraction so I'm starting to get nervous about how intense labor will be. Can any mommy Jezzies give me some words…

If you're anything like me the time will fly once you hit the 3rd trimester. I'm 37 weeks and I have yet to feel a Braxton hicks. It's starting to make me feel nervous.

I have to say when I first was pregnant I had a feeling it was with a boy. And like you and your husband, mine was all for it and I was more willing to just skip it. I most likely would have deferred to him on the matter but I think I'd feel guilty about it. But luckily my "women's intuition" was wrong and we're…

Pre-pregnancy: 5'8" and 135lbs

Yes we definitely have a crock pot. That would be ideal too because than I don't have to do tons of work to make the meal and then all I have to do is heat it up. Easy! Thanks!

Yeah the only freezing experience I have is some chili we made with noodles and it did not thaw right. We made some potato soup a couple months ago and froze that but haven't thawed it yet. Hopefully that survives because it's full of veggies because it's soooo good. Good ideas. Thank you!

I usually can come if I really take my time and try but sometimes I just want a quickie and it really isn't on my mind. Mr. Haa obviously would prefer to give me one every time but that's just now how I'm wired. Definitely jealous of the ladies who can get off easily but I don't think it's all that common (at least…

I honestly think I'd feel the same way as you were I not protected by FMLA at my job. I'm due in 5 weeks and am lucky enough to be able to take 12 weeks off with 9 of those paid (between PTO and STD). I don't think 12 weeks is adequate time off with a new baby so I can't imagine getting only 4! Obviously it's a bit of…

My first baby is due mid September and I want to prepare some meals now I can freeze for the first couple weeks after she's born so Mr. Haa and I don't have to worry about cooking. Anybody have any recipes/cook books/websites to share? I appreciate it!

In my experience I didn't have any noticeable symptoms. The night before I got a posittest I felt really moody and irritable. Mr. Haa asked me what was wrong and I said "I don't know if I'm pregnant and it's pissing me off." It was our 7th cycle trying and I got the positive 4 days before my missed period. Good luck…

God yes the "two week wait" was always torture. Good luck and I'm sending you lots of preggo vibes!

I'm due to have a baby in roughly 6 weeks and am planning on giving breast feeding a shot. I want to stock up on nursing tank tops to live in for the first couple weeks. Especially since I've heard buying a bra before your milk comes in can be a bad idea because the size can change so much. So tell me your favorite…

I'm an ISFJ.

I can offer some perspective. My husbands brother and his wife divorced a couple years ago. They had been together since high school and have two daughters (6 and 4 at the time). My BIL is a terrible person. He's an alcoholic, cheater who hasn't had a steady job in years. The whole family wishes they could trade him…
