Baby Fever Thread

Same here. Good luck! Hopefully, we'll both be celebrating soon.

Thanks, good luck to you too! The world could use a few more vegetarians, I'm sure! :-)

Okay, I wanted to make sure it wasn't someone you knew before I posted.

My Mom had 4 kids and her stomach is flatter than mine, no stretch marks. My middle sister has a child and was back into her size 2 pants a few weeks after. I hope that's me too, but I seriously doubt it

I didn't look at the link, but ... When I was pregnant, my husband and I were freaked out by all the stretch marks we saw on the preggo bellies in the birth education stuff we saw. To add to that, my mom ended up with a strange stretched out belly button after being pregnant with me. Growing up she would always joke about how I had ruined it, but that I was worth it. Despite her obvious love for me, I was a little worried that I'd have the same belly button fate. Thankfully, I just got a few very small stretch marks under my belly and they are almost completely faded 5 months later. My belly button itself remained completely intact. I'm not yet back into my size 2 pants, but I am so amazed at how my body has bounced back from the pregnancy and almost 50lb weight gain ... It's like the female body is made for carrying and birthing babies or something

I will also whole-heartedly admit that I have baby fever. It's not that I want another baby just yet, I just want to stop time for awhile so my baby will stay a baby longer. He's growing up so fast. We have a rough day once in awhile, but for the most part he is so sweet and happy. I can't hold or kiss him enough. He's such a joy. It's a weird feeling to be barfed, pooped, and spit on plus woken up at all hours of the night and still be thinking how I never knew I could love anyone so much. He's a lot of work, but my kid is awesome!

I'm glad you didn't have any issues with stretchmarks and your belly button. I'm sure you'll be back in your size 2 soon. My middle sister and Mom are both the type who don't eat when they're stressed, so I think that's why they're so slender. I eat 24/7, stressed or not My sister had a girl and my Mom had 3 and with those pregnancies, they both gained quite a bit of weight. With my brother, my Mom didn't look pregnant on her face or limbs like with her girls. That's the trend in my family. They bounced back quick, I hope I do too.

I was talking to my new neighbor friend, she has 2 kids, and she misses the baby stage too. When they're newborns, they love being cuddled with but when they get older, they just want to go-go-go!

It definitely helps to have good genes.

No kidding. I'm not built the way my sister and Mom are, that makes me envious
