Yeah, TX - let us know how it's going...

Update on us - I just finished the bunkbeds and our 2 girls bunked up together last night for the first time - they were so excited it took an additional 2 hours for them to go to sleep... Hope the excitement wears off over time!

We also just started child birth classes. It was interesting to say the least. The cutaway of what the bladder/intestines/stomach/heart look like while 9 months pregnant were very graphic. Made me glad to be a man. We've got 8 - 10 weeks left.

 
Congrats and good luck, TD. I remember the childbirth classes from Januray. The second and third classes were the ones that had the high gross-out factor for me...especially the video! It's amazing how it bothered me then, but during the real thing I was OK. TX, how's you're new one doin'? I can see that ktulu's little girl is doing well (by all the avatar updates), as is mine. MiniBuff just got diagnosed with acid reflux, and she'll be taking a mild medication to help. She has been sleeping for at least 9 hours a night (am I lucky or what)! She gets that from Mrs. FLBuff, not me. Glad to hear everyone is doing well.

 
The need for sleep or the mild disposition?? :p
JR
The ability to sleep for long periods of time, anywhere, anytime. She does get the mild disposition from me, however. I'm a type B, my wife is a type A++++++ (aren't all type As). I realize you asked in jest, but I am asnwering sincerely. :)

 
My wife and I are expecting our third at the end of January. Once he or she is born then no more. With two you can play man on man with three it's a zone

Congratulations Jtiger !!! :multiplespotting:

With the horrible morning sickness, we thought maybe only one. We have three. No more for us. They're older now and more self-sufficient. I do miss their squeakly little baby voices when they first learned how to talk.

 
Congrats Jtiger! January will be here before you know it.

The last few months have flown by for us. My wife is due July 15th, but our Dr. has told us she won't allow us to go past July 7th with the previous problems we've had with pregnancies. We're like 10 days away!

I'm getting nervous. Probably won't be on the board much.

Hey, TD, I hope everything is perfect for y'all. When time comes, let us know. You'll be in my prayers.

Congrats to the soon expecting!!!

We went up to visit family this past weekend...we saw the SIL for the first time since they told us...she is only like 4.5 month pregnant, she has already put on like 30 lbs and none of it is baby. She is the first non-glowing/beaming pregnant woman I've seen. She was complaining the whole time we were there...I would really hate to be around when she is 8.5 months.

 
So, what is the recommended weight gain these days? They told me 25 - 30 lbs. total way back then.

I would venture to say 100 +/- 50 lbs. Yes. Pregnant women can do (or not do), eat, sleep as much as the heck they want. When one can pass a 10 lb watermelon without any cringing, then I can be told otherwise. :laugh:

I was told 25-35 if you start off at a "normal" weight, 15-25 if you were overweight to start, and 35-45 if you start off underweight. Add 10-15lbs per additional baby for multiples.
