as I saidn in the other thread....in a weird kinda way...Congrats!
Congratulations! It's an awesome adventure!
Thanks girls! I'm both excited and nervous. :)
At least you KNOW you're pregnant. Unlike some of the women on the cable show. [laugh]
With winter approaching, you know we're going to be counting on you for stories (i.e. food cravings, MrI's reaction in birthing classes, etc.).
Again, many many congratulations P! I hope it all goes smoothly and with little, if any, nausea or discomfort!

I will be in Kazakhstan for the next 18 years. ;)
Your parts over anyway. You go to Kazakhstan and maybe we'll send you a DMF family postcard. Maybe.
;D
At least you know what direction your life is in.......... sometimes I'm not sure if I am in puberty or menopause! [laugh]
Congrats again and also congrats to Mr Incredible!
Thats fab news
Be well,
Erica.
Congrats! That is so exciting!
CONGRATS!!
get ready for the most incredible rides of your lives...I promise you there will be lots of twisties along the way...many smiles, laughter and some tears, as it is not easy...but will be rewarding.
that from a mom of 1 beautiful 3yr old son..who is all boy rough and tumbly.
;D
and ride as long as you are comfortable with it...the feeling sick should subside by the end of your 1st trimester...should, everyone is different :)
I am so happy for you guys. You are in for some big changes and some really good times.
congrats from me too!
Thanks again everyone!
Just an update, my first appointment was scheduled for next week but just got a call today that they wanted to move it to this afternoon, so I hopped on the moto and headed over.
Everything is going as it should, she did a quick ultrasound and I could see the little heart beating! It was so cute! :)

Very cool! It's a frog!!! ;D
Seriously it is so great to be able to see it - and the technology now is so much more advanced than even 14 years ago - you can eventually get these scans that are like something out of a sci fi movie.
I still have my "frog baby" picture around here somewhere. She looked more like a lima bean, really. [roll]
Love seeing the progression through ultrasounds! Will be looking forward to more!!! [thumbsup]
Cuuuuteeee! I still have pics of our first ultrasound. Ro looked more like a turtle, so that's what we called him up until he was born, as we didn't have a for sure name picked out yet.
For anyone not keeping up with the NMC thread:
It's a boy! :)

At least all of our talk about penis's and bacon is done through PM's and not so blatant within threads for the world to see.
MrI, you should see your wife's inbox!
(oh dear, that doesn't sound quite right but I'm going to leave it anyway - ha!)

looking good [thumbsup]
So cute! You look beautiful mama!!
You look awesome!!!
WOOT baby's starting to drop!!! Next round of pictures may be of a little one. hehehehe
Thanks everyone! :)
You look great, little mama! Mr. I has been talking about showing "Apocalypse Now" and setting off bottle rockets at your compound on July 4th. Great idea for inducing labor. When exactly are you due?
Thanks BG! Due date is July 29, anywhere from July 8-Aug 12 would be considered normal.
That would be quite the way to get things going though!
Is it true that sometimes, prior to going into labor a woman will go on a freakish crazy cleaning bender? (Nesting?)
As some people will have sympathy pains for another, I think I had sympathy cleaning pains on Sunday for either you, P, or someone else about to go into labor.
To the point that I was not only vacuuming the normal up-side of rugs (not to mention the baseboard scrubbing and window washing) but flipped them over to clean the floor side of the rugs. AND took vents out of the floors and sucked up all the dust bunnies and dog food bits that went down the vents.
I don't know who, but someone not too far out of my circle of connections is going to have a baby.
Soon! ;)

When you're done with that, can you help clean my house? P needs to rest, and she stinks at it.
This means I need to clean, and I stink at that.
I'm barely working. For the cost of a plane ticket and some bacon, I'll gladly help clean!
;D
I now have two humidifiers deconstructed and am chiseling the caked on mineral deposits out of them and will then scour and reassemble. P: Have that baby! I have so many other things I'd rather be doing!

Thanks P!!
He's getting big.
I know! We're guesstimating him at over 9 pounds now (so 1.5 times birth weight). He outgrew his newborn clothes a while ago and won't be in the 0-3 month size for all that much longer.
holy crap he is growing fast!!! :-* he is suchacutie paula!
As the baby grows, so grows Dave's hair!
