Celestialagape54 Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 How much have you gained so far? Is this ur first? I have only gained like 10.5 pounds if I am not mistaken. Last time I went for a check up I had only gained 1/2 pound in a period of two and a half weeks. I know that most of the weight gain is in the third trimester but I have beenvery healthy during this pregnancy. Yup first baby! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sophie274 Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 I LOVE the name Gabriel. Love love love love it. So happy to hear that's what you're naming him. He'll be an angel. Your weight gain sounds fairly typical to me Lunar. Good job being so healthy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your weight gain sounds fairly typical to me Lunar. Good job being so healthy! See I chose the name Gabriel because I am Catholic and according to our story Gabriel was the angel that announced to Mary that she was going to be having a baby which was a miracle. For me to even be pregnant is a miracle because of a certain condition that I have so this is my miracle baby! For some reason one day I just woke up and all I could think about was the name Gabriel, so therefore I chose to name my son that. As soon as I found out I was pregnant I wanted to make sure I was healthy for me and my baby. I don't want any complications for my baby because I couldn't control myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metrogirl Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 HOLY COW!!!!! My daughter just called me. She said she lost part of her plug and she's having contractions. She already had an appointment scheduled for this morning so she is at the doctors office now waiting to be seen. I really hope he doesn't come now. Remember I told you guys, she hasn't been able to carry any of the babies to term. They are always early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metrogirl Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Thanks guys...... She is going to call me when she is done with her appointment to let me know what is happening. Everything seems to be happening so quickly....I only just got used to the idea of another grandbaby, not that I am totally thrilled but I don't want the little bugger to pop out too early either.

It's so lovely - you'll have to tell your son that story when he's old enough to understand. (I hope you got my very very bad "angel" joke). I'm sorry to hear things are/were complicated with the fiance. We're all here to help and listen and commiserate with you if you want to share.

Celestialagape54 Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Does anyone know how much time by law a woman is given of maternity leave here in Ca? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BellaDonna Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Does anyone know how much time by law a woman is given of maternity leave here in Ca? I think all of the U.S. follows the FMLA guidelines. link removed They HAVE to give you a minium of 12 weeks out by law, providing that you submit the required paperwork. Ask your HR rep for the FMLA paperwork because you will need to have it filled out by your doc. However, you may be able to take more than that if you work it out with your employer. I took 6 months out with my employers support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metrogirl Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Update* The doctor ordered her to bed rest. He thinks she is okay for now but needs to go to the hospital if contractions get stronger or if she loses the rest of her plug. So for now, Nathan is still cooking.

Because he was entirely a miracle to have been conceived at all and the fact he was prayed for at the foot of the infant Jesus on Christmas Eve by his big brother. He would have had the first name of Gabriel but we decided to keep with the Irish names (my husband is part Irish) so Ryan David and Liam Gabriel. I am so glad to hear you are doing well!

Bed rest is SUCH a pain though. Between the both I spent about 6 months or more on bed rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
