I have a thirteen month old who is now into everything and when she naps I don't get to nap (like everyone tells you to do, such a farce) because I get to clean up everything she has destroyed. Totally worth it, mind you, but I miss the naps. Get as many as you can. Happy slumbering! Oh, I remember the naps,,, and I miss the naps.

Is the little squirt squirming around in there a lot? Do you feel a connection? Do you communicate with each other? I remember that my daughter was very, very active in utero (actually, this has not changed!) and I could poke in a certain spot and she would poke back sometimes. And she would never move for Daddy, so he didn't really believe I was pregnant until he saw her make her appearance! Also, I recognized her little face and feet from the 16-week ultrasounds - same profile as me, and same long skinny feet. I cried... but then I cried at everything sweet... that hasn't changed much either. Enjoy this... it's the event of a lifetime. What about the baby?

Clearly my schedule is not allowing me to enjoy this experience as much as yours is. My kingdom for a 4 hour nap - but I have a meeting to run. You're a lucky AND mighty girl. Bon chance!

My first pregnancy didn't suck either... but numbers 2 and 3 were/are a whole different story. I'm almost 13 weeks pregnant with #3 and have spent the past 36 hours cleaning diarrhea off the bathroom floors thanks to my sick 4 and 2 year olds. Neither child naps anymore, so guess what? Neither does Mama. And shaving is a joke -- I'm lucky to get a shower every three days. I had the same thought as Lacy… you are so obviously a first-timer!

It just takes a little time to get back on track after a pregnancy. Aaaany day now...it's only been about six years.

I wanted the fuzzy, dreamy babe in arms photos. The three hours in the shower during labor destroyed any chance of presentable hair or having a touch of mascara on my eye lashes. How lucky to find that the fuzzy, magical beauty in the pictures is from the delivery and meeting the little life you have grown. I have butterflies for the days ahead for you.
