Congrats doctortobe and SW (and everyone else)!

We are having another girl!

We're expecting #2 at the end of September, I'll be in the beginning of my second year of pediatric residency. My program is extremely family-friendly, which is very helpful.

Hello.. Im a new bee to this forum.. I am prayerfully hoping to match.. next week is the match day.. I am 9 weeks pregnant- running on the 10th week. due oct 1st week. Nice meeting you moms & moms to be residents. I hope i would get some emotional support from you all..

pray4dworld, does that mean that your baby is due during internship? If so, you may want to check out some recent threads about babies in internship (hint: you will need a lot of help!). Good luck!

Love that sound! Got to hear our little one's heartbeat last week

I am always SO nervous until I can consistently feel the baby moving. That 'swoosh-swoosh-swoosh' is my small source of comfort until that point.

(Of course there is always my soon-to-be Seven year old son, who looked at me yesterday and declared, "Mama, your tummy looks a little bigger to me" *snicker, snicker*. His father also thought it was hilarious. Men, gotta love 'em.)

Got quad screen back- all good! I never had it done before, and then, well, Medical Genetics last semester. Need I say more?

Had a scare, with really regular cramping every ten minutes about a week ago. Apparently my glassware washing job in an enclosed room with two autoclaves running full-time, an industrial size washer spewing steam, and two large dryers set at over 160 degrees F are not a good environment for a pregnant woman to be working in. So that job is gone, which is fine. I am doing research this summer anyway.

Hoping to get back on my treadmill now that things have settled down. I am trying to eat right and exercise this time around, hopefully it will allow for an easier recovery to pre-preg clothing!

And I can finally feel little movements- mostly at night right before falling asleep. It is funny, but DH sleeps with his hand on my belly, and I swear the baby moves under his hand, like the warmth from DH's hand is their own personal blanket.

How is everyone else doing?

What a wonderfully sweet image!!

I am new to the forum but wanted to add to this thread since my baby was born in February 2010 . He's now a super cute 3 month old and we're loving every minute of parenthood!

Congrats to everyone who's expecting this year!
