April roll call

This group seems somewhat moribund, but then I can't say I've been an
active participant either. A few years ago when I was here pregnant
with the Bug it was pretty hopping. Let's see if this gets anything
going.

Any other April due date moms out there? Of the three months dreary,
three months cheery, three months weary we're in the cheery part now
-- how are you doing? I'm finally feeling the baby move, for which I
had been getting quite impatient. It's a lot of fun. Transitioning
to my maternity clothes, which are back to me after going through 4
other pregnancies in the meantime. I'm looking forward to the mid-
trimester ultrasound in a couple of weeks -- we're hoping to find out
if it's a boy or a girl. The Bug is eagerly rooting for a baby
sister. At 4 years old she's long past ready for a baby sibling, but
life circumstances weren't very amenable to having a second until
recently.

Hope there are others who reply!

I'm more of a lurker, just occasionally post a question. I've been
reading this group since 2002. Anyway, I'm pregnant with my second,
and due on April 7. My son recently turned 4, so our situations are
similar. My ultrasound is set for this coming Wednesday, and I can't
wait to find out if it's a girl or boy! I'm so excited. I will be
thrilled either way, I just feel in the mood to sort through my son's
old clothing and get stuff organized. I'm feeling quite a bit of
movement these days. It slowly ramped up after feeling the first kick
about 2 weeks ago. It's quite a relief to feel that movement. I'm
having a high risk pregnancy again, due to clotting issues. So far
nothing out of the ordinary, so that's good.

Looking forward to hearing from other april moms!

Can i join? My due date is actually 31st March (we are hoping to
avoid 1st April ;-) ) but I'm nearly April.

My DS is 3 and we have had 2 miscarriages in between so it has been
very reassuring to feel lots of movement of late. I have got my scan
in a weeks time and I looking forward to checking everything appears
ok (not rational or logical but am worried they will say the baby is
dead or something is seriously wrong as I was in a car accident in
early pregnancy - despite knowing that this is extremely unlikely, I
cannot shake the worry!)

Although I am pleased to be out of the dreary phase, I am wearier than
I expected - Looking after a 3 year old makes it harder I guess

I was also due March 31, but had a scan last week and was told baby is
measuring small so my date was adjusted to April 10. So really I have no
idea when I'm due as my gp was pretty sure of the dates when I first went
and saw her. So I figure any time from 20th of March (assuming March 31 was
correct and it comes early) through to 20th of April - that will be a long
month!!
Actually that was the second time that the due date was "adjusted". When I
went to the hospital to book in they said they were all booked out for
March, but if possibly I had my dates a day out then that would make me due
on the 1st of April so they could then fit me in!! I think they have a
quota per month of bookings they can take - once you're booked in it doesn't
matter when baby comes, but it's so they don't overload.

We didn't find out at the scan whether it's a boy or girl (although we
debated it right up till the last minute!). And we have a little girl who
will be 2 in January.

I'm due on April 14 (which is my older dd's birthday!) This has been
a really rough pregnancy so far, with non-stop nausea for the first
three months and hormonally-charged depression now, which is supposed
to be my "fun" trimester. I feel worn out all the time but have
trouble falling asleep. I guess it's nature's way of telling me that
four kids is a good number to stop at. DS and DD1 are both very
excited about their upcoming sibling and have suggested names: DS
would like me to name it "Arnold Jr." (something from The Magic School
Bus, apparently) and DD1 is rooting for "Cinderella." I'm going for
my ultrasound next week so I guess we'll see which name will win
out.
