So sorry about not hearing hb, but I am super impressed with your positive outlook. Stress never helps anything.

Definitely agree with moving to the other place for your next appt. that little bean starts bopping around in there for you really soon - that really helps with any worries!

AFM: This Babe has been dancing in my belly this morning!!! I was feeling stronger kicks on the left side and light tickling on the right, so I'm guessing baby is laying across me - just like Levi used to.

Made it through yesterday with gymnastics - I cheated, though, and ordered a pizza for supper . And now things are calmer until Saturday, then we have to move DH's parents in

And there is snow in the air! Right now! SO early! Levi and I tucked all the kids' caps and hats away, and pulled out their gloves/mitts and toques this morning. Levi just put on a hat and "glubs" and ran for the door asking to "get a snowball"! He makes me smile all the time.

Your family anecdotes give me a big goofy grin. Snow would be amazing!

My DH mentioned "if we're ever pregnant again" yesterday. It made me giddy but I hid my excitement. Usually when I'm pregnant he is feeling stress and anxiety about another baby coming. I try to make him always feel that our family is blessed with amazing children that are not a burden.

Aww, thanks! I like snow... but I prefer it to hold off until December!

They definitely are! If we hadn't lost Elli, we may be all right with the idea of more pregnancies, but there's just no way we can do this again. I'm not against the idea of more babies, just no more pregnancies!

This is exactly how I feel! Apparently HG gets wise with each pregnancy. I'm certain that I would die if it got even worse!! I've lost more weight than I'm comfortable with, and feel like life is continuing without me! I'm not doing this again. But I want a whole gaggle of children! 3 doesn't seem like enough! Maybe I'll change my mind once I'm raising 3 babies.

ok silly question--I am 11 weeks--pregnancy wise I am still in my 3rd month and move to my 4th month at 12 weeks right?

Sorry my brain is so spacey--that is a good sign right?

Trimesters are by weeks, not months, since it's based on 40 weeks. I think 2nd trimester technically begins at 14 weeks? But I don't remember for "months", it says in the What To Expect Book.

I always just tell people how many weeks when they ask.

If they absolutely HAVE to know the month I would say I was three months at 13 weeks (4X3) + 1 = 13! I'm a math nerd, though. But remember that months don't ACTUALLY have 4 weeks but more like 4 weeks and 2-3 days. Oh no, my nerdiness is leaking LOL

Thank you, Beth, for not making 28 day months. DRIVES ME BANANAS!! I prefer to count by weeks.
