Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

Yes, I'm having a girl. I'm carrying much differently this time. With my boys, I gained about the same weight but it was well distributed..I got big all over. Although I look big in the pic, most of the weight is upfront with this one.

Both my boys were big babies and doc says we're on target for another 9lb'er. Although, I could go early and I also know it's not an exact science unless they do a late ultrasound which I don't expect.

This pregnancy hasn't been too bad. I was sick (nausea) longer at the beginning and my back has been horrible but other than that...things have gone pretty smoothly.

I'm going to see doc tomorrow for my 36 week appt. and he's going to give me a note so I can leave school early. I'm going to work one more full week. I could probably do more but my back is bad. I'm at the chiropractor twice a week and was going for PT twice a week as well until I quit...too many appt.s each week. It was exausting. So, getting around at school is tough. I'm on the second floor and my classroom is the farthest from the bathroom as possible!! That's not good when I get those swift kicks to the bladder!

I'm very excited about girl. It's certainly taken some time to get used to the idea. I just assumed I'd have another boy. Logan (8) is going to take a sibling class at the hospital and Tanner (11) is going to take a babysitting class. They're both really excited. Logan kisses my face from side to side and top to bottom each night before bed and now also kisses my belly. So sweet.

Anyway, I'll keep y'all updated!! Thanks for the kind words.
