What a great choice! My daughter has a friend (8) who is a big sister to 3 other girls. They are the coolest and sweetest family. The Dad is our softball coach (he played baseball in college) and we can tell he is resigned to the whole softball vs. baseball thing. So happy for you. Bonnie I love the name Oberon!!

I am soo miserable and it hurts to just "be". I can't lay, sit, stand, walk, etc to alleviate the pain and pressure. I googled "pregnant and miserable" and here I am. I am hoping that maybe I can post on here and come back and re-post after my son arrives to give the next person some sort of inspiration, however it seems impossible that I'm going to be happy ever again. I do love my son, already, but it is so hard to not be a miserable person...it seems to own me at this time. I started swelling at about 18 weeks...gained about 45 pounds, the doctor says he's happy with it considering the water retention that I am experiencing...(and please, don't somebody tell me that this can be prevented--maybe it can and if there is a next time, I assure you and myself that it will be different from the beginning). My heart-burn is so bad that I have to sleep sitting up. My hands have been numb and I haven't been able to breathe since about 8 weeks. I was in a wedding about two months ago and I haven't looked at one picture and it was hard for me to be super happy for my friend getting married b/c I, at the last minute, had wondered what I was doing when I committed to be a brides maid at 32 weeks! So, you get the point...I am miserable...and INSANELY depressed--have been at least slightly depressed about the whole time. I envy my husband--he seems to flow through life...to work every day and I'm here feeling pain every single minute! I finally couldn't work anymore after Monday...my job requires a lot of physical movement and I just couldn't do it. All in all....here's hoping for a brighter future!

I just wanted to say reading all of your wonderful posts really helped me a lot. You all are so strong and brave! So here I am on my first pregnancy, and I'm kind of nervous. I always thought that I would be really scared of the pain of delivery, but I'm actually really calm about it. I'm way more scared about going to the doctor and telling our parents. My Husband and I just got married this March 2oth. This is an unplanned pregnancy, but not unwanted! Although we just got married we have been together for close to 5 years. I trust him, he is a sweet and giving man and I know he'll be an awesome father. He's so great with kids! I've always wanted to have children this is really a dream come true. I'm not that young. I'm 24 years old, but I know our parents are going to tell us that we are too young. We are so worried that we are going to loose their support. My Husband is worried that his parents are going to be furious. His mother may be just disappointed but his father is going to be mad. We don't have much money we spent it on moving into our dream house last year. My Hubbie is a student in Nursing school and ideally we were going to have kids after he graduated. I know that my mother is going to guilt trip me and tell me that I should have an abortion and I really don't want to hear that so I'm scared to death to tell her. We haven't told anybody yet. It will kill us if our parents disown us. Anyone have any good advise how to tell them? I never knew how many things women go through during pregnancy, I thought morning sickness, Thats not that bad, I can get through that. So far I've been sick all day everyday since before I found out. I have been dizzy, crampy, more tired than I have ever been in my life, super hungry, not really grumpy but just a tad weepy. I can't sleep at all. I wake up with heart burn, ringing in my ears and a pounding heart. Anyone else experiencing that? Anyways Before I write a novel... Take care. Chow Bellas Hi Ladies!
