Yay! And the countdown to the 5th begins! I've been counting down the days to my ultrasound forever! It's a week from today now...hope that comes quick!

Yes Tam...I'm excited to hear how your hubby liked his birthday!

TamTastic

Hi guys!!

Cris, sorry about the morning sickness! Weeks 6-9 were the worst for me too! Not sure what that is!

Kris, glad you had such a great night!! Sounds wonderful!

Pete enjoyed his birthday!! He actually said it was fun and appreciated the efforts I made to give him a nice birthday despite the limitations! haha.

I went and took care of everything today and have my car back!! :laugh: :laugh:

I am SUPER exhausted today!! The last couple of days have been rough. This baby must be going through a growth spurt because I woke up with that heavy eyes, super tired feeling. How does that happen?? :grumble:

Chuffmn

Sounds like that baby is sucking up all the energy your body needs to function. Hope he shares better with his brother lol! Kids... :laugh:

I think I NEED an ice cream cone today. It just seems like it would make me feel worlds better. I have eaten so much Easter candy lately though :ohwell: I am normally so good. This little nugget has really messed with my self control. I am so hitting the gym tonight!

kistinbee

SO...yesterday after lunch I thought I felt the baby actually kick me (is it too early?) but I didn't know for sure. But again today it happened, late this morning. Like a slight tapping on my lower belly from the inside. It happened 5 times! What a thrill!!!! I don't know what else it could be, so I have to say I'm pretty sure my little one is actually getting big enough to kick me!:laugh: I LOVE it!!!! Tam...are you feeling this yet?

Cris...go for the ice cream...it makes EVERYTHING better!:happy:

Chuffmn

How exciting!!!!!!! Seems like 10 inches would certainly be big enough to give a good kick you could feel. Oh, I'm so jealous and happy for you!!

kistinbee

Thanks!:happy: I'm pretty stoked!!!

Oh heck yes! I've been feeling it for 2 or 3 weeks now..though 2nd pregnancies, you often can...partly because you know how it feels..even very early on.

And yes, now is when they start to get super noticeable even for first time moms! Happens a lot soon after eating or drinking something too because they've gotten fed too!!

Great feeling, isn't it??? Just wait til they kick your bladder though!! :grumble: :laugh:

kistinbee

Good morning and Happy Friday!:drinker: Too bad I have a meeting ALL afternoon today! :grumble: And it's supposed to get up to 87 today! Oh well.

Yes Tam...I LOVE the feeling of my little one in there! It's WONDERFUL!

So...how are both you lovely ladies this morning?

TamTastic

Hi K. Had a nice day so far!

I've been feeling really good in this pregnancy for the most part. And just enjoying how different it is from my last one when I was so overweight! I barely even have any photos of myself pregnant with J.T., which makes me really sad. I just hated how I looked so bad. :frown:

I went down to meet my friend and her two sons (1and 3) for lunch. That was nice!! The weather is slowly warming up here and today is beautiful! I think it's supposed to be nice all weekend too!! I HOPE! I don't have to work tomorrow! :drinker:

If you get out of your meeting, have a great weekend!

:flowerforyou:

Kristin I just saw your pics; love them!! Do not know what has changed for me to view them now but I am sure happy I can. You look so cute!!

I already have a bump. Weird!

kistinbee

Happy Monday morning gals! Well...this baby is kicking and moving like crazy these days, and I LOVE it! Been stocking up on diapers (using any coupons before they expire) and bought an adorable baby blanket this weekend! AND I have my ultrasound this Thursday...I can't wait!:bigsmile:

So...how are you girls this morning?

P.S. Cris...glad you can see the pics now!

Chuffmn

Good Morning!!!

I was slammed at work last week and am hoping for a less stressful week this week as I am exhausted!!! I could have slept all weekend but hubby had to work so I was in charge of entertaining my 9 year old step son. He is a really good boy but so full of energy! I wish I could just steal an ounce of it from him!

I could sleep at my desk right now but at least I do not feel sick at the moment. I keep reminding myself that these symptoms are great (even though they do not feel great) and pep myself up to be happy pregnant girl instead of tired, hormonal, sick pregnant girl :laugh:

I really do love this though and cannot wait for May 5 so I can have some assurance all is well.

Kristin - will you be uploading your ultrasound? I would love to see your little bean! How exciting!!!!

kistinbee

Yep...I will upload the ultrasound pictures, but it may take a while as I don't have my scanner hooked up currently. So...I might have to wait until I get over to my parents to use theirs. So...may not be for a while.

Chuffmn

When did you girls start showing? I am thinking if I already have a bump at 6 weeks I will be showing to the world by 10 weeks. I feel like everyone at the gym is wondering why I am there 5 days a week yet my stomach keeps getting bigger lol!

kistinbee

Well...the first photo I took was at 14 weeks when I really thought I had a baby bump. But I know I had one before then, just not as obvious to other people yet. But by 14 weeks, my jeans were getting tight and by 15 weeks I was in maternity pants! Crazy how quick things went once they got started!

Tam...how are you?:flowerforyou:

TamTastic

Hi guys! I was busy today, getting some things done. Was in a cooking kind of mood!

Hey Cris! It is exciting when you go to the first prenatal visit. Get your official due date, etc. Fun stuff!!

And Kris, I can't wait to see your ultrasound pics! This is the fun stuff as well as feeling the movement. This guy is an active little fella!! :laugh: I remember how it was to feel it for the first time, with my first pregnancy.

Enjoy every second girls!! Before you know it, the baby will be here and then before you know it again, the baby will be 6 months old! It is truly crazy how time flies. So, even with the discomfort and gross stuff that comes along with pregnancy, just enjoy it!!

I felt like I was showing at 7 weeks! LOL! I thought I would pop a lot sooner since this is my 2nd, but it's only been the last 3 weeks or so that people say it is really noticeable. Also depends on what I'm wearing.

Sorry I didn't check in earlier! Hope you guys sleep well!:flowerforyou:

TamTastic

Here is something I posted the other day. You can tell me when you think I really started showing.

I guess Week 16 the bump came out more!! lol

Morning gals!

Tam...looking good!

Cris...how ya feeling?

Chuffmn

Hi there girls!!

I am feeling good today . Busy day at work.

I took a pic of my 6 week bump so I will have to down load that tonight. Pretty close to Tami's 7 week pic. I cannot wait to look prego instead of chubby!!

How are you 2 doing?

kistinbee

Hey there Cris! I am well today, thanks for asking! Been busy at work also, so not too much time to chat! I'm excited to see your picture though!:flowerforyou:

kistinbee

Good morning girls! How are you today?

TamTastic

Good morning my fellow preggos!! :happy:

It is about 25 degrees cooler than it was yesterday. I was pretty miserable yesterday. I think that is an indication of how the Summer is going to be!! DANG!! lol!!

I shall be living in the a/c!! :laugh:

Looking forward to the pic Cris and Kris, hope things calm down at work soon!! :flowerforyou:

kistinbee

Hey Tam! I'm pretty sure we will both be dying of heat this summer and utilizing the AC for sure! I already warned my husband that he may be wearing a winter coat in our house this year!:laugh: I'm already hot all the time and we have all our fans running! Oh well...I kinda expected it!

Cris...how's it going?

Chuffmn

Good Morning Lovelies!!

I am slammed at work today SLAMMED . Makes the day go by fast I guess. I have tomorrow off so I will post my bump pic.

We really should have all planned to be pregnant in the winter lol! Maybe next time? I love hot sun and cold beer so am not looking forward to missing out on that. BUT as my husband says "how can you even think about beer when you have a life being created inside you!?" Men...

Hope you two have wonderful days! Tami I hope today is a much better one for you :flowerforyou:

kistinbee

:laugh: Yeah...I can't WAIT to have a glass of wine! *drool* And I will be missing the margaritas by the pool this summer for sure! But yes...it is SO worth it! We can get through it together!:flowerforyou:

TamTastic

I want alcohol so bad right now! LOL! It is hard when the weather is warm!!

Is is very worth it and you always crave it so much more when it's forbidden!! :laugh:

kistinbee

Good morning girls! Guess what?...I have my ultrasound today!!!!!!!:drinker: :drinker: I'm leaving work for the day at 2:30 and my appointment is at 3:30. SO...I probably won't report back until tomorrow (maybe once more at lunch time). Hope you both have a great day!:flowerforyou:

TamTastic

Good afternoon!!:flowerforyou:

Kris, can't wait to hear about the u/s! Such fun!! :happy:

I went to the gym and then took J.T. to a cupcake playdate and then grocery shopping. Wow, it's amazing how tired you get when pregnant! I feel so drained right now!! :ohwell:

Hope you guys are having a great day! I can't wait to see the u/s pics Kris!! :bigsmile:


-Tam

kistinbee

Hey gals! Quick checking in before I head home!

Tam...a cupcake playdate sounds fun! *yum yum* And I can totally relate to the being tired. Easter weekend was horrible. Monday I ended up having a migraine and going home early due to being so exhausted! It's funny how the little things can wear us out now! And thanks...I can't wait for the ultrasound! Only another hour and a half!!!!!!:bigsmile:

Cris...hope you're having a good day! I'll check back to make sure you're alive tomorrow!:laugh: :flowerforyou:

kistinbee

Good morning! And Happy Friday!!!!

The ultrasound went GREAT!!!! :drinker: Baby is doing wonderful! Everything is normal! And it was SO great to see our little munchkin! Baby's hand was up by it's face which was really cute! And we got some great 4D pictures of the face! I go back again in another month, then 3 weeks later for the glucose testing, then every two weeks! CRAZY! :bigsmile: I just can't stop staring at these pictures! Makes it so much more real!!!

Hope you two are having a good morning!
