It Went Bye-Bye

Congrats on the mircale of life.

I am with spatts on the issue of cost. Although the national average to raise a child from birth through to collage accroding to the National Childrens society is 260K. Although you have to figure that number is inflated by about 30% so that the lobbiest can secure funding during an election year. And line pockets to secure thier issues of children welfare reform.

Sorry for ramble.

All and All my mother and father raised 6 kids on a military salary of 30K per year and we didn't want for anything.

Embrace this opportunity not all women have the chance.

Neither of my children were "planned." I was stressed at first wondering how I was going to juggle my budget and job ..but once you feel the baby move in the second trimester it's so exciting. I was on the nordic track and lifting light til the end. I was running up and down the front and back staircases trying to induce labor the last week. I was also begging my husband to do it to me cause that is supposed to induce labor. He didn't want to ..afraid he'd poke the babys head, lol. At the end you just want that baby out of there and start your new life. God it felt good to get my 9 1/2 pounder out of there. Ahhh to sleep on my stomach again!!

Oh for gosh sakes!! Being preggo was the greatest thing of all, could eat like crazy and enjoy the last few days of total freedom from a little one who is totally focussed on himself... like you'll be. And, it is the only time people actually cared so much about me!! Seems once the baby's born mom is forgotten and everyone dotes on the kid. Enjoy and congratulations! You are lucky. I would NOT worry so much about exercising aside from walking, your baby needs all your energy to grow. Pregnancy is a total body workout in itself. You'll snap back into shape with a newborn and a baby jogger, honestly!! And, after nine months of sharing your body you'll be sooooo motivated!! I did one aerobics class and that's it during my pregnancy, carried the babe till term and we were both 100% healthy, normal delivery and all that. Don't risk anything, just take care of yourself... sound like a mom, don't I...

As for the married issue, what does it matter so long as you are happy!
