Mom-to-be Sites

[Deleted]

So I stumbled across this site that details your pregnancy by day according to your due date and I am in LOVE with it. Every morning the first thing I do is read that day's tidbit of information... I just thought I'd share it with you guys. The link is programmed to my due date but you can adjust it at the very top. Just a fun thing to obsess over with our pregnant-brains.

What are some sites you're finding helpful and/or intriguing at this point in the game? Aside from TCF, that is...

I picked up a set of white onesies because i just needed them, lol  I share that problem.  I think I shouldn't find out boy or girl because then I will just buy more things.  I got rid of most of the baby stuff because I though we were done after DS, but we changed our minds so need stuff!  All the stuff, lol Hide the credit cards.

I can't even bring myself to look at baby stuff yet. We've still got most of our baby gear and clothes from DD, but even the few things I know we'll need, I kind of have this irrational fear that if I get too confident about the pregnancy, I'll jinx it or something.

Same.

I'm with you on this! I felt the same way with DD. We didn't tell anyone till 15 weeks, then I didn't even start to register for my showers till after the 20wk scan. Even then I didn't want to, but knew I needed to so we could at least figure out what we needed. If I could go the whole pregnancy without telling anyone that would be perfect, but DH has other ideas. He wanted to tell his parents as soon as we found out. I put my foot down that we won't until at least the 2nd trimester.

This is me, exactly.

Me too, heartbot! It's PGAL brain. We have the stroller we bought for our son sitting in the box in the basement because we bought it at 12 weeks and then lost him at 15.

All the hugs adorebel, I can't begin to imagine how difficult that must be.

Thanks heartbot and miggg! It looks like many of us here are PGAL, so that will be a wonderful form of support for all of us.

I love Pregnant Chicken!

Have you all looked at Lucies List? I also loved her style. She has a great blog post about the post partum experience. Also great for researching for your registry! I can talk baby products all day long!!!

ETA: Sorry if I jumped the gun for baby products. I myself didn't register until after 20w the first time so totally get it. I meant the comment as something to look forward to!

Another hug.

I can't imagine having PGAL brain. Regular pregnancy brain is enough for me. Hugs you guys!
I enjoy the just mommies site- I like reading ahead to see how far I'll be at Halloween/Christmas/my birthday, etc and pregnant chicken too. Especially towards the end pregnant chicken makes my day. They have a weekly email update you can sign up for. Waay better than the other boring ones .

It's more of a parenting blog, but for a good laugh, Mommy Shorts.

And not just because my kid has his picture on it regularly ;-)

As I mentioned before, I love Alpha Mom. She's got a great pregnancy calendar too that was pretty funny. I did use Pregnant Chicken too, as the mom from Alpha tends to talk about her pregnancy issues too, which isn't as interesting to me.
