Happy Monday Ladies!
I hope everyone had a great weekend! We surely did!
Did a lot of yard work this weekend...it was still a little chilly here (Greenville SC) but it was very sunny! So we raked leaves and picked up branches that have fallen. So that was nice. We tried to go to some antique stores to find an old dresser for baby's room...but no luck! My hubby did build me a foot stool for my rocker (it is my grandmother's rocker) so that is exciting! Trying to figure out what to do with the stuff we currently have in the baby's room!
My eating has been okay...starting to really want spicy foods. I am putting hot sauce on everything it seems! Which is unusual for me because I have NEVER liked hot foods!
Our anniversary is tomorrow...so I am trying to come up with something fun for us to do next weekend (we will be celebrating then) Any suggestions?!
My goals this week:
Drink lots of water
Walk 45 min at least 4 days this week
Try and fit a yoga class in as well!
Hope everyone has a great day!

So I am finally in the second trimester. FINALLY:happy: Morning sickness has surpassed and I can finally eat food that I couldn't before. After 3 weeks of eating poorly, today I'm ready to get back to eating more healthy food and start exercising again. Woohoo!0

Hi everyone!
I am new to this group and happy to be at 16 weeks! I have a little one (3 y.o) at home and this pregnancy has really been different than his. I am an "older" mom, 34, but will be 35 when I deliver, so I have had more tests and scans than the first time around. Fortunately, I have already been more active in this pregnancy, exercising at least 4 days a week, and really trying to eat better! I have lost weight during the pregnancy, and for the last month, I have not gained anything, which, for my weight, is probably a good thing! I found out today at my appointment that I have a UTI, so the fun just keeps getting better!
I look forward to visiting with all of you!

Welcome to our new ladies!
Amanda- So glad you have your schedule worked out with your boss. I'm sure you're feeling relieved! And yay that your glucose test looks normal! Hope you and your hubby (and puppy) enjoy your house to yourselves!
Melissa- Great goals this week. I need to remember to do kegels as well. Thats nice that you and your hubby had some time to talk about parental things If it was only my dad and brother disagreeing with Quinn as a name I would just ignore them, but I feel like I need to have my husband on board with me :laugh: He says its not completely thrown out yet so we'll see!
Kelley- How was your glucose appt? Glad you had a nice weekend besides the house stuff. Great goals!
Hope everyone is having a great week so far!
AFM- I spent most of last week being a bum, trying to make my cold pass quickly. Luckily it worked! I feel much better now. Today my LO and I went for our first walk of the year with a friend and her daughter. We only walked for about 20 minutes, I think next time I'll probably go by myself so I can do longer. I've decided on a whim that next week the LO and I will be heading down to AZ to see my brother's family for about 10 days. My husband's schedule is really getting to me lately, and I feel like I need more adult interaction and since I don't have many close friends here this will be a nice break. And LO will get to play with her twin cousins that are her age. I'm really hoping that when we get back my husband will have gotten hired with his new company and will have the better schedule! I'm kind of scared of making the 8 hour drive with a toddler by myself, but I also think we can do it!0 -
Well, well, well, so this is the lovely trimester I have been waiting for. I am really excited actually. I am finally gaining more energy, so work is going better. I am slowly coming to terms with everything. It's hard to imagine you are actually carrying something inside of you when you can't even see it. It might not even feel entirely real until "Lentil" joins the world. I have had a little weight gain, but not a terrible amount considering how lazy I have been. I plan to take a nice long walk today (60 degrees in Minneapolis). Just wanted to introduce myself in this new trimester. I hope to be talking more with you soon!

Happy Tuesday Ladies...
Hope you all are having a great week.
Welcome to all the new ladies...our group is growing...how wonderful...jump right in.
Amanda - So glad you liked the clothes...a trip to the mountains does sound peaceful. So glad you got your schedule adjusted and now have the house to yourself with the hubby and the pups. My husband likes to walk around naked too but I discourage it...lol because then both my sons will want to do it...and well I would rather people at least had on one layer...so instead the hubs walks around in his underwear...it reminds me of an episode of Sex in the City when Harry walked around naked sitting on the white furniture...LOL..
Melissa - oh...Kegels...I need to add those to the nonexistent routine...lol...I seriously need to get off my butt.
Great goals for the week..as for the research on baby items...definitely do research but also go with what works with your life style.
Great news on the compliments from the hubby and keeping up your workout and staying active...
Amberwebb - glad your LO is better...sorry to hear about the name struggle...I have names that I am fixed on but hubby is still throwing names out there...in the end we will probably have a list and name the baby for sure once it's born...that's what we did with our first.
Brandy - Happy Anniversary...glad you enjoyed your weekend...I have been craving spicy food too so you are not alone.
thedestar - Glad you are feeling better...wow a road trip 8 hrs with a toddler...let me know what strategies you come up with... I usually only leave with my LO when he has to nap or at night when it's his bedtime, my mom lives 6 hrs away so I know the drama. Last time we drove...I had to stop every two hours so my son could stretch his legs, play with the steering wheel and get out the car seat. What I did try was a bag of goodies, with his toys, and every hour or so I would pull out something new he could play with...that worked for a couple hours. This was of course before I turned the car seat around...I imagine it may be a little easier now. Also lately I got some audio cds with music and stories and he likes those too. There one I listed to last night with my son called Toddlers by Sara Hickman (got from the library it was decent) and the Veggiestales audio stories.... Let me know if you find any other things that work...good luck.
AFM - Glucose test today...it was decent...I guess...the stuff taste like soda to me which I never drink so it was super sweet. I was allowed to eat before hand so I had a sandwich made a la hubby it was good. Saw the doctor that delivered my son today...such a nice women..only think she suggested was to continue taking vit D...I stopped during the summer because I was getting outside so much. Baby heart beat was a little low and my blood pressure was low as well but they didn't seem concerned. What was not low was my weight...it's official I am at 25lbs gained..at 25 wks...what the heck!!!!!!!! I was doing so good in the beginning...I am Going to get moving I must...I so don't want to gain more then 35...40 at the most...sigh...this week I need to get some hours in so I don't know when I am going to fit in my workouts...I need to do it in the am like I was before...that's what I need to do...luckily there is also a gym at the resort we are going to so there is no excuse not to exercise...ok...this was more for me...thanks for letting me self-talk. After the drs appt I picked up some stuff I purchased on CL and then I got to work and felt so nausea and tired I think it was all the sugar water...it was crazy...I felt so drained...I had to drink tons of water in hopes of flushing out the system. Either way stayed at work but was so tired...I am hoping that tomorrow is better. Also woke up in a weird mood...happy but also moody...was so odd...hopefully the week will improve...
Ok...I think I am done...lol...sorry for the long post.

Well I've made it to the 2nd trimester woohoo!! Hard to believe I'm 1/3 of the way done.
Anywho, I'm 13 weeks and 5 days today, I've gained 10 pounds already, and I'm counting down the days until I can find out the gender. I believe I don't find out unti April 24th, by then I'll be just a little over 20 weeks,
Question: Has anybody else noticed that it hurts to sit now? I'm literally really uncomfortable at work in my chair, and when I drive my commute home. It feels as if my butt bones are going to come through the skin, and I've got a meaty butt lol Just wondering if it's a common preggo thing or not0 -
Now that I have my second wind, I've been doing great with exercise again. SInce March 1st, I've already walked just over 20miles and well on my way to 90 by the 31st. I've not yet started my pregnancy yoga, but I plan on it soon. Can't wait for next Thursday, that's our next appt and hopefully *the* ultrasound for gender revealing. :bigsmile: So has anyone had any craings, normal or weird? I haven't noticed b/c I'm so use to eating what I want in moderation, that I'm not sure about any cravings. Have a great week all!!0

Good Morning Ladies, Happy Wednesday! I finally made it to the 2nd Tri! I am very excited to know that the misscage rates are lower know. I stopped my progesterone suppositories and metformin and I have been feeling great, No more morning sickness, and I think I have felt my baby move once or twice already. But this is my third pregnancy and I did feel the other very early as well.
I hope you all have a wonderful Wedenesday, I am looking forward for my appointment next week on Friday to see if we can determine the gender 0 -
Hey Guys! Just a quick check in for me today
I hadn't weighed since last week, and thankfully only gained 1/2 a lb...so I think the big jump was a 2nd tri spike. I did up my water to 12-16 oz a day, and have been really good about working out every day
I was bad with logging food, though...so I am going to get back to it.
My RLP has been pretty bad this week, so it slowed my pace at the track, and I opted to walk slower for longer periods of time. Just keep truckin', right?
I am really excited for spring break next week!!!
I will post more tomorrow!0 -
Hey ladies jumping back from the third tri board to say hi, its been pretty quiet there lately, lots of babies being born! Looking forward to getting to know some of you. My advice for you all in the second tri, get as much of the big stuff done now while you can, your energy will drop again in the third. I fight the sleepies alot!
Take Care!

Hi Ladies
So great to see all the new faces...
xosugarbabi0 - can't say that I feel any extra pressure in my tail bone..sorry you are experiencing this...hopefully it will pass so you can enjoy 2nd tri.
Brunettewife - good job on sticking to the workouts - good luck on the gender reveal
Becca - good for you on not slacking on the exercise even if you can't go as hard.
AFM - quiet day here...lots of movement from my little...worked late and then came home and had dinner...didn't get to really spend time with my little man...but tomorrow is my work from home day...so hopefully I will get to spend a little more time with him tomorrow...Going to try and get to sleep a little early tonight. Didn't get any workout in tonight but ate fairly well except for the dounut this morning...
Alright ladies...coming up on the weekend...yippy...
Kelley0 -
Good morning everyone!
Lovely to see lots of new faces on here. Sorry I haven't posted in a few days - I have been reading all of your posts.
I've been laid up with migranes for 3 days - I HATE being in bed that long, it's driven me insane! If I could've skipped to work this morning I would have, I was so happy to be out and about again after being cooped up for what seemed an eternity!
We've been having some movement in there since last Thursday - hubby freaked out when he first felt it and ran into the kitchen HAHAHAHAHA! Since then it's been sporadic but lovely and reassuring every time we feel it. (And it's definitely NOT wind!)
After 3 days in bed I'm back to the walking today and hope to have a very energetic weekend instead of chilling out like I usually do!
Have a great Thursday ladies and keep smiling!
Love Sarah xox

HI
I think I have this - not all the time but sometimes when I sit now - its more my tail bone though. Once Im sat Im ok, its just the sitting. x0 -
I will catch up with everyone asap. x0

Hi
I have 10 mins so thought I would try and get caught up!
Welcome to all the new 2nd tri ladies - looking forward to hearing all about you and babies.
Kristi - have fun in the next Tri - i will be keeping an eye on you.
cutmd - Love you little bump. Glad you are feeling better. My boyfriend was surprised when I said I was 8lb up, so I was pleased about that too.
Mrs Jax - Bet your nursery looks good. Are you making it quite girlie? I wouldnt worry about the weight as you are active and eating well - Im sure it will balance itself out.
ewgner - congrats on having a boy - I think 2 boys together sounds fab. Sorry to hear about the cyst and hope everything turns is ok. Try to keep calm (easier said than done - Im sure).
amberwebb79 - We arent sure on names (we dont plan to find out if its a boy or girl until birth), we have plenty of time, my favs of the week are Issac Michael (been a fav for a few weeks) and Imogen Grace.
Amanda - glad you have sorted work for lighter duties. You have been a very good sister - with all that cleaning. When my sister moved I spent quite a lot of time painting for her!
Running out of time so quick update:
All well with me, I saw the midwife yesterday and heard the heart beat and urine test, blood pressure etc were all good. Only thing is a have a rash on my legs and hips - midwife wasnt concerned but said to go docs for some cream, so went to see nurse and she though it was a heat rash or allergic reaction so has given my a big tub of cream that I can use all over my body (and get more when I run out if it works). In the UK you dont pay for prescriptions when you are pregnant so that was a bonus! If it doesnt work I have to go back in 2/3 weeks.
I have my 20 week scan date for 27 March, not sure if boyfriend can make it as it his busiest time of year (farmer) but Mum is coming with me and if John manages to come they both will be there.
I have been a bit crap with workouts! (except dog walking) so need to get back on track. It getting light nights here (well light until 6.15pm rather than 4.30pm) so that helps.
Best get on and sorry for any spell mistakes as I have rush typed this!

Good Morning Momma's to Be!
Welcome all newcomers!
Well my rib has got the best of me this week. I ended up calling in sick for all of my shifts this week, thankfully I had almost 200 hours of sick time banked up since I was scheduled for 72 hours this week. I broke down and took some Tylenol a few times this week. I know it's "safe" but hate taking any extra medications. We also got 8 inches of snow in 2 days which didn't help my energy level.
The weight monster has caught up to me(which I have researched is quite common about 27-28 weeks), 4 pounds this week. I only have myself to blame as the pain in my rib caused a lack of making anything aside from grilled cheese and ichiban soup. I made it to the grocery store and ended up in the car before I was done leaving hubby to finish. Knock on wood so far today I'm feeling almost normal and I started my day with a green smoothie so here's to hoping for a better food day. I'm undecided if I should attempt taking my dogs for a walk(both are 80 pounds and have cabin fever so aren't going to be nice to me on their leashes) but we shall see. The sun is shining and looks like it will be a great day.
Well I have officially hit trimester 3!!! Very excited! Guess I really need to get my butt in gear and get some stuff done for baby! I'm moving over to the 3rd trimester board and hope to see you all soon!

Happy Friday everyone! I almost didn't make it!
We got a new principal this week because the one we have now is retiring and it's not like he even shows up to work anyway (he's pretty sorry). We were asked to make a "wish list" from our new prinicpal, so I put down that I don't want to be teaching SpEd again next year, and asked for Kindergarten or 1st grade. I doubt they'll give it to me because my current position is considered "hard to fill," but it's worth a try. I'm looking elsewhere for a job for next fall if I have to teach this class again. I'm just burnt out. 9 out of 10 years of SpEd has left me exhausted emotionally.
I went to the doctor last Wednesday and I gained 7 lbs in a month. I was shocked, but the doctor said he was glad because, before then, I'd only put on 5 pounds the frist 4 months and he was glad to see that I put some weight on. He said I'm right on schedule now with weight gain. I got another vitamin b12 shot, which has seemed to help my depression. Hubby has noticed and I've noticed, so I'm going to keep getting them.
My work outs have been great these last two weeks. I've worked out 4 times already this week and on Tuesday, I burned over 700kcals. Other days have averaged around 500. Date night is tonight and I'm so excited!!
I have a request: I'd like to ask everyone to please pray for my husband. He's up for a job at Camp Shelby, which would be a raise from what he made there before. He's been substitute teaching in the mean time (since he got laid off in August), and a position just opened up that he's qualified for. Please keep us in your thoughts a prayers because we REALLY need him to go back to work. I would appreciate it. Thank you!
Welcome to all the new-comers. 2nd Tri is fun!
I'll try and be on the board more. I've been so busy writing IEPs and doing paperwork, I haven't had time.

Jalyn - sounds like you are working hard - I defo couldnt cope with 9 & 10 year olds all day! lol Whats spEd? (im in UK - maybe just called something else here?)
So you have gained 12lb at 23 weeks? Thats sounds really good to me and great work on those workouts - I really need to get my backside in gear - Im just not motivated! I have written a plan starting tomorrow for 7 days and will try and stick with to.
Defo hope your husband gets the job - got everything crossed for him.
So far so good on food today, fruit and Fiber for breakie, veg chilli & rice for lunch, banana, pear & rice cakes with peanut butter for snacks. Just got enough cals for corned beef and potato pie and beans (its national pie week in Britain today so thought we should have pie!lol)
Right Im heading home now to do housework and walk the dogs (and typically it has just started to rain!)
Catch you over the weekend girls.

Thanks for crossing everything for me! I teach Special Education Math and Science 8th graders (they're 13-15 years old, depending on if they've been held back or not. I've been teaching these students for 9 years now. I've only taught one "regular" education year (kindergarten). That year was my favorite.0 -
Here is a little tool I found that helps me gauge how my gain is falling in terms of "normal pregnancy" gain. Of course, Im over by 3 lbs lol...but thats not as much as I felt like I was, which helps me mentally A LOT. Hopefully it helps yout too!

Hey, where did we all go? Catching up myself!
Amber - Glad to hear your LO is better. DH and I argued about the first name for a long time, still haven't settled on a middle. DH was the one turning down all my ideas and that was frustrating! Sorry to hear your MIL is mean, definitely wouldn't chose her name. However, my DH has that idea about not using a name just cause one person you didn't like had it. I don't think it should matter unless they are a big part of your life (like your MIL)! Good luck!
Amanda - congrats on the glucose test and the lighter work load! I do hate seeing women where I am in pregnancy with complications, makes me paranoid! Fortunately 20+ weekers go up to L&D directly for evaluation most of the time! Glad you and DH got to get out for a bit and are enjoying alone time! Have fun in 3rd trimester, catch you soon!
Brandy - That's awesome that you have an old rocker! I missed your post till now, hope you had a great weekend and did something super fun with your DH! Careful with the spicy foods, I craved them and then got bad heartburn!
Misslouisianna - welcome! Being able to eat healthy again was huge for me too when I started 1st trimester! Congrats! What's your exercise routine?
Sarah - welcome! Are you trying to maintain throughout the pregnancy? What do you do for exercise? Sorry to hear about the uti?
Destiny - glad you're feeling better! A long trip with a cute little toddler sounds like an adventure to me, but then again I haven't spent half that time with a toddler, so good luck!
Anapai - welcome! Is this your first? I am finding the experience of pregnancy really exciting and unbelievable as well. Enjoy those winter walks!
Kelley - I think protein helps with those sugar hangovers, but I'm sure you are much better now. Sorry to hear about the 25lbs, maybe a lot is water? At least when you exercise you'll burn more calories now, hehe. Since you have an elliptical at home how about throwing in 2 15 minute sessions or something?
Xosugarbabie - welcome! I am finding that despite all the fat my butt and hips have accumulated :grumble: I'm more uncomfortable on them, especially at night I have to keep switching sides to lay on even though I have a tempurpedic. Not sure what that's about! I try to stand more at work and stretch my hip out more after exercise, that seems to help.
Brunettewife - wow, fantastic job on the walking! I still find myself craving carbs more that pre-pregnancy, and I definitely want more fruits and salad (but not cooked veggies). Other than that my cravings are sporadic, thank God
Jcgutierrez - welcome and congratulations! Hope you got some good news to share from your ultrasound!
MrsJax - great job with the exercise! Sorry to hear about your round ligament pain, definitely take it easy until you don't feel it since I have heard that stuff can get out of control!
Taldie - not sure if you'll be back to read this, but thanks for popping in. We are definitely in flux right now with many women giving birth, graduating to the next trimester, and joining this one. We all have to be committe dto keeping the group active during these periods!
Sarah/sas - congrats on feeling the baby move, sounds like DH loved it too. I find it so exciting and addictive! Hopefully that nasty migraine stays away and you are able to be active this week!
Helenmelon - I hope your rash is clearing up. There are a lot of nasty pregnancy dermatology problems out there, so far the only one I have is acne! Your BF should prioritize this ultrasound, it's amazing and the closest thing he will get to seeing the baby before he or she is born!
Jalyn - I can see how special Ed would be draining. Will be praying you get what you want and that your DH gets that job at Camp Shelby! So glad the b12 shots are helping and that you are KILLING your workouts! Just remember to eat back your calories, etc etc. Great job! Oh, and your weight gain is perfect and I'm jealous, lol
Kellierorie - I love that website cause I don't even have to think, thanks for posting it!
AFM - the importnant thing is lots of baby kicks so I think he's healthy! Beyond that-
TMI alert - I have been really constipated for the last few weeks and despite my best efforts I'm starting to feel like I'm accumulating poop. I have also gained 2 pounds despite being at or below maintenance everyday with a dedicated workout schedule, so I am thinking poop+water. I decreased my cals a little more but I started to approach my prior dieting levels with no improvement so I decided to let it go a little. My OB realized I haven't been seen in a while so they called me and made an appointment for tomorrow. Maybe she'll have a magic cure for my angry tummy and can reassure me about my weight. On a positive note, strangers (patients in the ER mostly) have started to comment on me being pregnant. I didn't think it was so obvious but I'm pleased people are starting to think I'm preggo rather than "portly", lol
Our group is in flux, everyone needs to post so we can get out of this funk!

Good morning ladies!
What a wonderful weekend - the weather where I am in the UK hit 75F so I had a short bike ride with hubby & daughter then chilled out on the patio.....bliss!
Extremely tired today but no real reason for it. After my 3 days in bed last week I've had achy legs and butt all weekend from Thurs & Fri walks! Didn't think I'd get out of shape so fast!!! I won't be walking today as I've got some errands to do that require the car and won't be walking on Weds as it's our 20wk scan (YIPPEEEE!) but apart from that I'm going to get the 4 miles a day in.
Again, I've over eaten this weekend but managed to be better on the sweet things and just over eaten on 'healthy' things so even though I know I've gone way over the cals needed I don't feel AS guilty as I usually do on a Monday morning.
I've gone up a whole clothes size lately though - my thighs seems to have doubled in size lately but it's all my own doing so I'm going on Ebay tonight to try and find some clothes!
Have a great week everyone and I'll post pics of scan on Weds.
Love Sarah

Morning girls
Ive had a good weekend, lots of walking, swimming and pottering around. We to a friends on Sat night for supper, she is due in 5 weeks - so nice to see all her baby stuff. She has written me a list of all the things she has bought so I have a direction to go in! Has anyone started to buy any baby stuff yet? We have a few bits as the range we like for the baby room has had 20% off. But really waiting until the 20 week scan (2 weeks).
Melissa - Hope you get sorted with constipation - its awful, Im trying to up my fiber and water to avoid it as much as possible. Yeah by boyfriend will try to come to the scan (he wants too) but will depend on the day. He is self employed and has 1100 sheep lambing at the moment (its the busiest time of the year). He unfortunately doesnt get any days off for about 6 weeks and works from 5am til about 9pm. Im just pleased Im not due the baby now!! Fingers crossed the afternoon of the scan the sheep keep their legs crossed for an hour or two! He will have 2 vet students starting that week so hopefully that will help.
My rash is loads better - think it was heat rash. Gonna be careful if wearing tights etc in warm places! I was worried about acne as I had a bad do of it about 10 years ago. But so far so good.
Sarah - Weather not as warm here at all! Not sure in F but about 8C here yesterday but cloudy and damp! (same again today). Sounds like you had a good weekend. Hope you scan goes well - catch up later in the week. x0 -
kelly rorie- According to that website I'm over the weight gain mark by 5 pounds already. ughh. not that I didn't know that already, my clothes are so tight and uncomfortable and it's because my eating has been out of control and so unhealthy. I've got to get a handle on it for sure! I work out almost everyday, but still I eat wayyyyy too many calories and aweful unhealthy foods.
*I'll be 15 weeks this week, and only my lower stomach is sticking out, but that can be due to all of my over-eating. When did you guys start to show? When did people start to notice that you were pregnant instead of just "thicker than normal"?0 -
Im 18 weeks now and you cant tell Im pregnant yet. Im 8lb heavier though and my clothes are tight. I think it will be a few more weeks and than belly will pop out a bit! x0

Hello everyone! New to Trimester 2, I wasn't sure i would make it but so glad to be here!
So far i've gained 6.8 lbs at 13w5d but i haven't weighed in a couple weeks so i'm sure it's safe to say there is probable another couple lbs to add on. I've been gaining pretty steady so all the weight i did loose is now coming back with a vengence. It's been pretty nice here in Alberta, Canada so i will be taking advantage of it and go for more walks. I took a break earlier due to icy conditions, i had a few falls and thought best to wait it out. Now i'm close to 4lbs over what i should be and need to slow the gain down.
I've had a head cold the last 5 days and it's knocked what ever energy i did have completely out and now with the spring forward time change, i feel like the walking dead. Looking to get some ZZZZZ's this week and hopefully next week will be fully recovered with lots of energy to burn. Wishfull thinking?!?!
Anyways, i look forward to getting to know everyone and wish you all the best!

I should introduce myself to this board as well. I've been reading all of your posts but have yet to say hello myself!
I'm in Saskatchewan, Canada. We had a huge dump of snow last week (finally!) but now it's melting and a huge wet sloppy mess out there. I can't wait until spring. Well actually I can't wait to get out and walk every day. I've been using winter as an excuse and my weight gain is showing that. Despite playing basketball and swimming twice a week I'm up 13 lbs. I'm at 15 w 3 days. This is a huge struggle for me as I been on weight watchers FOREVER and seeing the scale go up is very hard for me mentally. I just have to get over that. Eat well and exercise and whatever happens happens I guess.
I did get to hear the baby's heart beat again last Friday. This was a huge relief to me as I had hit two rather large deer on a road trip the week before and almost totalled our car off. I didn't really feel anything, it's a solid car but I also managed to steer them into my husbands side and he took the brunt of the hit. We're all OK though! I felt fine, it was just nice to hear that nice strong heartbeat.
Nice to meet everyone, have a great week!0 -
Hello Mommies! Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!
Welcome to all the new ladies! Its nice to have some new ones since we lost a few to the 3rd tri
Helen- Glad your rash is getting better! I haven't bought anything for this new baby yet. Partly because I don't need very much since I still have everything (clothes, bottles, blankets, etc) from my daughter that this baby can use. And partly because we need to do some major rearranging of my house before we can bring in the things we do need (crib). :laugh: With my first pregnancy my husband wouldn't let me buy anything until we knew the sex. And even then he had a hard time spending money!
Sarah- Good luck with your scan on Wednesday! Can't wait to hear how it goes
Melissa- Sorry about the constipation :frown: Mine seems to have gone a way for the most part. I definitely feel it when I eat out too much, or don't drink enough water. Someone on here mentioned apple cider vinegar or eating an apple everyday when I was in a lot of pain, and eating apples helped me out. Thats so nice that your OB called you in for an appt. I think I would be going crazy if I didn't have my regular check ups!
Jayln- I'll definitely be keeping you and your hubby in my thoughts that he gets the job and you can move to a less stressful class. My mom's a teacher and when I was younger she taught a special ed preschool for a few years, but it was so stressful on her, with all the extra paperwork, etc. It was fun for me at the time because her classroom got extra funding and I got to play with all the cool toys when she would go in on the weekends :laugh:
AFM- This weekend started out so great for us, we decided to try taking DD to her first movie in the theater- The Lorax. She did SO great! Was quiet, and well behaved the whole time. We went to a bigger town about 2 hours away so we all got to enjoy the nice seats, good sound, and clear picture that we don't have with our local theater! We had to go the the bigger town to get some supplies from Sam's Club anyway so we just stayed the night in a motel. We've done this a few times and it hasn't always gone smoothly but we hoped it would this time. But it did not! DD decided to wake up before midnight, and then she wouldn't fall back asleep until after 6am!!!! Then we had to wake up at 8! So this mommy didn't get much sleep either! It was rough, but she made up for it last night- slept 13 hours
I have a dr appt this afternoon and then tomorrow morning were heading out on our adventure! I'm really excited, but also a little nervous. I think the little one will do good for me *fingers crossed* So I won't be around for a couple weeks. Hope everyone is active and healthy while I'm away! I'll try to do the same and not give in to too much greasy temptation from the road:laugh:

Enjoy your trip Destiny - have an absolute blast!
We're coming across the pond to visit hubby's relatives in Haverhill MA at the end of the month - they LOVE their food so I'm completely prepared to come back MUCH heavier! hahaha! They're giving me a baby shower too which is something that has only just stated over in the UK so I don't really know what it's all about! I've been told to take a spare suitcase! xx0
