Should I be worried that the baby isn't growing?
Although I know you'll still be worried, remember that your baby is only 1/6 of an ounce (4g) right now ... he/she is gaining weight just fine, and you will be too, soon!

Tammy can I ask what size non maternity you wear? or even just cup size? I'm a DDD now.. I've been looking at the Body Silk for a few days now and wonder if it would be supportive enough. I may cave and just buy it and see how it feels.
When I'm not pregnant/nursing I'm 34C. During pregnancy I'm a 34 or 36D. While nursing I'm a 36DD.
Considering your size, you might want The Supreme Nursing bra.

Okay, you know how dumb you feel when you look all over for sunglasses and find them on your head? ...or for your car keys and find them in your hand? Well, here's a new one. I was just searching all over for the phone - while I was on the phone.  Please tell me I can blame this on pregnancy brain... LOL
Yeah, I've so done this when not pregnant. I'm pretty sure I was talking with my sister at the time. I can always rely on her for understanding. She went to run an errand one day and dashed to teh passenger seat of her car. It took a few seconds of sitting there and not going anywhere before she realized she would have to exit the vehicle and re-enter on the driver's side if she was actually going to get anywhere.

Ok, had baby shower and they all joked about NOW I can go into labor..
well we went to a movie and I had contractions halfway through all the way to the end. These were not the BH I'm used to, these were period cramp feeling. SOOO WEIRD!!!
After movie we sat in the theater while everyone left and they dwindled away and I went to the bathroom, pee'd FOREVER and felt lots better. They seem to have stopped. For now.
geesh. Maybe I will be buying our car seat on Wednesday.. oi vey.

Brandy - I find it my bladder is super full (or my bowel, for that matter), I tend to have more frequent/painful contrax. That's pretty crazy though, that they were crampy ones! Maybe baby's wanting to make an entrance soon!

a pregnant body at rest uses up three times as much energy just to do the basic bodily functions like pumping blood and digesting food and breathing...so not gaining weight could simply be because your body is metabolizing it so much faster, even if it does seem like you are eating like a horse.

Brandy, I've been getting those for about the last 3 weeks or so - very low period crampy feeling. My docs said they are normal and are helping ripen the cervix. The last few days the contractions I've had are different from those though - they actually start up high in my uterus (it tightens just like the BH contractions, but are uncomfortable) and sometimes go all the way down to my upper thighs...
Kim - what a pretty belly! Your little one had a growth spurt since the last pic!

That's exactly how they were lily, very low. I was actually waiting/wondering if they were going to move up higher and encompass my whole uterus. But nope.
It's ok, she can cook a while longer and we can get things set up better.
We are actually moving her crib into our room, our tv into the closet (has sliding doors and is length of whole wall) and setting her up so that she is right there with us and we are getting a window a/c unit for that room. It will be interestingly cramped for a while but I think it will be worth it. I doubt she will spend much time in our bed until she's atleast a few weeks old. We have a fan blowing nonstop on our faces and yet can wake up hunkered down under covers and I don't want to smother her. That would be bad. And a cosleeper isn't an option. Too much money and our mattress is on the floor, not tall enough.

I really should learn to keep my mouth shut.
They have started again.
Feels so strange to know that anytime in the next 4 wks (her due date is June 10 so I give her some leeway) I will have a baby. A real little person. Ack and YAY.
BUT in order to get there I have to go through a thing called LABOR AND DELIVERY!!!!! aaaakkkk!!
In the theater yesterday I could feel myself start to get emotional/quasi panicky and would tell myself "This is your body, this is natural and normal and good" and practice some relaxation from head to feet. It was actually kind of soothing to think about but scary at same time to know....
SHE'S COMING!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks, Lily! I think he/she's had a growth spurt too, but sometimes I think I'm the only person who can see it!! My shirts are definitely not really covering the bottom of my belly anymore - they're just kinda hanging there  I feel the same way you do - I'm definitely excited to meet June Bug, but am quite content with him/her being inside right now. I've been told so many horror stories about the last trimester and how uncomfortable and horrible it is, and I feel like this is my best one yet! All my aches and pains went away when I stopped working and I hardly feel pregnant ... except, ya know, for the whole can't-tie-my-shoes, can't-bend-over, baby-punching-my-cervix, huff-and-puff-up-the-stairs stuff
Brandy - wow! Any time now!

And very comfy.
LOL Poor hubby - he didn't mean anything by it - he just had a tough day. 
13 days until my next sonogram. I will feel sooooo much better when I see the hearbeat again and reach the second trimester. I'll still worry, but maybe not quite as much 
is in Iraq
