and this is
what i get to look forward to:
An out of focus pic of my big bellay, 38 weeks. I had 2 weeks more, and i got even bigger, but i can't seem to find pics of it. Probably just as well - the nasty rash started then, and i was scratching all the time.
I remember my first thought when they pulled her out of my belly by Caesarean was 'omgicanBREATHEagain!!' lol
am i insane for wanting to do this again??? ;)

I am so excited! I don't fancy being that big again, it was horrible, but i can't wait! :D

I hope you will be equally enormous again soon, but without the rash this time. :)

well, at that point she was about 9 lbs because a further fortnight elapsed before i begged them for mercy ;)
My mom made me a t-shirt that said 'Home of the Whopper' on it... lol
I remember feeling quite crushed by that point - i was huffing and puffing unable to catch my breath and had a tremendously hard pressure at all times in my belly. I think i carried her pretty high, though.
I hope the next one is a boy, and i hope i don't end up that huge. lol.

I thought I was huge, but Benny was not even 8 pounds, so obviously smaller than Pumpkin :)

Tee hee :D I was as big as a house and being crushed, that's for sure. She was worth it though!
But i want a VBAC this time. YES. I hope i can get it done.

Mind you, I am a big chicken and if I should have another baby, I'd go for a C-section again, so I totally admire you for being determined to go for VBAC! You brave woman! :)

I want to be walking the same night and not have a catheter all up in my hoo-hah and i want to be fit and walking about carrying my baby on the school run in a sling, kwim? I don't want to be stuck indoors in pain.
I'm going to insist they help me get this one out the natural way. That said, if s/he is 10lbs again, there might be a problem... :P

I have been brooding like a mofo for the last 6 months, it just wasnt the right time, life was too busy throwing us curveballs. :/
The moms at the school gates have babies as well,tiny little babies and i've been grabbing a snuggle when i can and its been driving me mad, so that probably helped make it easier for me to get all knocked up, lol!
When i was preggers the first time, someone handed me a 5lb preemie one time and i just about freaked out, i didn't know what to do with it! I felt the same way about my first, i had no idea what to do with the screaming hungry baby they handed me at the hospital...
NOW i know i can breastfeed successfully and i have more confidence in my body to do the right thing and get the baby out itself and i'm feeling much more positive and in control about the whole experience - its something i chose to do, not something just happening to me, kwim? I felt so out of control the first time, so scared. Now i dont, i'm rearing to go!
*hugs* - ask me anything oyu want to know, i'll be glad to share the nitty gritty on how miserable it gets with a watermelon inside your abdomen, lol :D

That's how i conceived the first one in 1 month trying - taking my temp every morning, and checking cervical mucus, which at the time didn't actually come out like it does now (everything's all stretched out, lol)...
This time i didnt need to temp, my cervical mucus was everywhere, lol. i knew when i was going to ovulate by noting days and signs for the month or two beforehand, so we just timed it on the predicted day in advance, and boom, here we are!

That said i think if i had tried any sooner than August this year, i'd just have been disappointed, because i wasnt ovulating properly until pumpkin weaned, and i didnt want to rush her, she needed it.
*hugs* - you might try the library, they may have a copy of it rather than having to buy it.

Don't know where these big babies come from, frankly!
