Oh and Faug- I know we were talking about Craiglist finds- I was so motivated by your nursery furniture find and I finally found my own steal! I got a crib, changing table, dresser, pack n play and high chair for $200. It was the exact color scheme we were looking for! Now I'm on the hunt for a BOB jogging stroller. Lots of $$ so I'm hoping for a deal
Any other good finds- I love to hear about other people's deals. 0 -
Congrats, BeckyJill- we needed more Team Pink in this group:) And good deal on the finds- I got most of my nursery furniture through garage sales/etc...and I'm so glad I did. Babies can be rough on that furniture so it's not worth it to spend a ton (in my humble opinion).0
-
Thanks Jillsie! I was thinking the same thing about the furniture
Now I get to buy little girl clothes- way too much fun!0 -
I am still team Surprise lol.
I am feeling super down about my weight...I am seeing all of you with like 13lbs gain and here I am at 23w with a whopping 23lb gain *le sigh* I went to my OB app yesterday and again he wasn't really concerned. Just told me I need to be more active, but it is so hard in this heat!!! I hate living in the desert :grumble:
Anyone else struggling with their weight or their feelings about it? I am doing sooooo much better than all my other pregnancies, but still...I feel like I am failing :ohwell:0 -

I've been at the "high" end the whole time, never had morning sickness so I've been gaining steadily since the beginning. I think that everyone is different and if your doctor isn't concerned then you shouldn't stress out! Just do the best you can I've been slacking on the exercise and am really going to try and pick up the pace, but the last couple of days have been 90+ here in DC as well. SO HOT 0 -

I am very disappointed about my weight gain. Up 18 to 20 lbs, depends on what my weigh-in says tomorrow, & i'll be 22 weeks. I had been maintaining a perfect middle of the BMI chart weight (113 at 5'0)for almost a year so I was so sure I would be able to control the weight gain & not go over 25-35 lbs. At this rate I'm sure I will gain at least 35 lbs. So yes I am very down about my weight too! Last pregnancy I gained 45 lbs & at this point in it I had only gained a few lbs more so that scares me. All I can do is keep logging & exercising. I know if I got the weight off last time then I can again, but it still doesn't help at the moment feeling so big, AND knowing i'll be big for several months after he's born until the weight comes back off.0 -

Kerrbear- how was your weigh in this morning? I've been up and down about my weight gain- I think it's definitely harder the 2nd time around cause I was determined to be different. BUT, it seems to me you are doing great. I see that you're still working out 5 days a week and doing your best to eat right- at the end of the day, that's all we can do! Our bodies are going to do what they want- and at least we know we got it off before right!? Be encouraged- you're doing great.0 -
Jillsie, my weigh-in was actually astonishing to me today. I didn't gain ANY weight this week! It's so weird. I go from gaining 2-3 lbs one week to none the next. So I can still say I'm up 18 lbs now, not 20.
You are right, our bodies will do what they want, and apparently we can't change their minds lol. Thanks for the positivity! 0 -
I got a little freaked out when I gained 4lbs last week after no gaining at all the week before, but it turned out to be water retention. I weighed myself this morning, up 18lbs at 21w4d. I seem to be going steady at 1lb per week. I, too, thought I'd have more control over the weight gain and before I got pregnant could never understand how some women gained so much. Now I do! Even with eating maintenance calories (or slightly over some days) and working out, the number just keeps getting higher.
Working out has been difficult this past week. Like Faughorn, my city has been super hot (humidex in the 40's (celcius), which is over 100 Farenheit). Normally when I walk on the treadmill I can do 3.8-4.0 mph with a 2.5-5% incline quite easily. This week I felt like I was slogging along, doing 3.5 with no incline. Just way too warm and my heart rate kept spiking. The a/c in the gym just couldn't keep up this week!
Kerrbear - thanks for the enoucragement about the eye sight! It's funny, I mostly notice it when I'm using the computer, or trying to see street signs. Reading, and small print on tv are fine (ie. scores - lots of soccer watching going on right now!) *ETA: not sure if that post was this board or the 2nd tri board, I keep getting them mixed up!0 -
I weighed myself again and have lost 2lbs...I know I am swelling like a mo fo in this darn heat (110 yesterday!!!) and so I am sure a lot of it has to do with the swelling.
Thanks ladies for helping me to feel not so alone. I always seem to think that every other pregnant lady is that super thin one who gained 12lbs and looks like a model the day after birth. I know its stupid. I had finally lost 62lbs and am so scared to gain again. I made it out of the 200s for the first time in 6 years when I got pregnant. SO now I back in the 200s and trying not to freak.
jls8209 - That is how I felt! Like I was going to be so in control this time and gain only 15lbs. Pffftttt there went that!
Kerrbear - Yay for maintaining! Gives me hope!
Faughorn - It is super hard to exercise in this heat. Even indoors with our refrigerated air I feel like I am dying! And the swelling! Oy!0 -
Just bumping this bad boy back up
How is everyone doing? I think everyone here is more than half-way now!! Woo hoo!!
Anyone started on their nursery? My nursery is empty- which is huge! We moved all of our office furniture to the basement and are getting ready to clean the carpet and paint in there. I think I want to paint the walls a light/medium gray and accent the room with pink/feminine decorations. I can't wait until it starts to take shape!0 -
I can't believe how quickly time is passing! 22weeks down, 18 to go, and SO MUCH TO DO! Aside from deciding on a stroller and car seat (which we haven't ordered yet), the only thing we've done is put a coat of paint on the walls in our nursery. Even though we don't know the gender we decided to go with a light blue, thinking we could dress it up with girly accents if need be. We picked a Disney colour called "Thoughtful Spot" which on the swatch is like a sort of pale sky blue. The walls match the swatch, but it's much more shocking than I had pictured. I feel that way every time we paint, though, and in the end once the furniture, etc, is in the room, it's always much better!
I like your idea, BeckyJill, about grey with feminine decor. Our master bedroom is grey, with dark furniture, white bedding and lampshades, and pops of colour with pictures and pillows.0 -
I haven't done much in prep for Skittle :ohwell:
I am not sure what to do about our nursery because DD#3 is still in there (she is 15m). I haven't decided if I want her and Skittle to share a room or if I need to move her in with her sisters. If I move her in with her sisters then we need to get bunk beds. If she and Skittle share then I need a toddler bed. Either way we need furniture lol! Skittle is going to need his/her own dresser. It has been a source of stress for me. DH keeps telling me we have plenty of time because Skittle will be in our room in the bassinet for 3m. I see his point, but I still want things done ya know?
As far as equipment we are set from just having a baby a little over a year ago. And we didn't find out the gender with her till birth either so it is all gender neutral. However if this baby is a boy we will need a Clothing Shower! I have girl clothes coming out of the woodwork.
I did have gender neutral clothing from birth to 3m, but I lent it to my lousy sister-in-law for her baby and SHE SOLD IT ALL!!!!!! I was so mad! I asked for it back 3 weeks ago and she sent me a text saying "Sorry...I didn't know you wanted it back and we needed the money." So I have to start from scratch in that department :mad:
Sorry for the long post lol

We are literally BUILDING our nursery as we speak Putting up a wall to divide a space into separate guest room and nursery. I have the nursery furniture (white) and I think I've decided on the eventual paint scheme (turquoise with lime green and orange accents). But until the actual building part is done then I can't get to the painting/decorating part. Hopefully soon! 0 -
We are in the process of getting our spare room turned into my daughter's "Big Girl" room (she'll be 2 in July). Sooo, as soon as my lazy brother-in-law finally moves out (THIS weekend- YAY!), we will start that process. I have everything except the rug for that, and I'm super excited to decorate it. That way, the nursery (which is neutral) will just need some more personal touches from baby girl number 2! We did it that way so we wouldn't have to paint for each individual child. BUT, hearing all you ladies talk about decorating your nurseries is making me jealous! That was one of my favorite parts- getting everything prepped/set up. Made me even more excited for her arrival. I can't believe how much faster this pregnancy is going...I need to get on the ball!!0

Our nursery is pretty much done. It WAS our exercise room, but we had a sunroom built to the back of our house a few months ago, so we just moved all that out there. Already have crib & changing table/dresser in there and set up. DD has all white furniture so we went with espresso this time. Already also got down all the "baby" items from the attic like swing, bouncer, etc. Have stocked up on diapers already too. My DH coupons so we get them when there are good deals. There has been no stress this time. Finally I am not stressing out about something. DD 2nd birthday is 7/5....can't believe it!!!! 0

Anything exciting or fun happen over the weekend? Any fun plans for the 4th?
DH and I had a date night last night...been 6 months! It was great!0 -
It's been quiet in here lately!
No 4th of July plans for me up here in Canada (unless you count going to work?) but we just had our holiday on July 1st and it was observed on the 2nd, so it was nice to have 3 days off. DH and I had two days of being busy, then slacked off and had a pj day on Monday. We had quite an expensive weekend, we purchased our crib and stroller, plus we went to Lowes and bought an upright deep freezer and a swing for our back yard. Very excited about the deep freezer, we've been talking about getting once since we moved into our house over a year ago.
As much as I enjoyed having a long weekend, it was a bit rough emotionally. I strayed from my weekly weigh-in and was jumping on the scale almost daily last week, and I got pretty upset over my weight gain and how clothes are fitting. I have some pants that fit well, but have been struggling to find maternity jeans. As if jean shopping isn't hard enough when I'm not pregnant! I'm also running out of regular tops that fit, but nothing I try on at maternity stores fits, either. My bump (and boobs) is too big for most of my regular shirts, and too small for maternity. I was pretty upset after our shopping outing and complained to DH about how most of the 18-20lbs I've gained has gone to my hips/butt/thighs and I just look wide with a little pot belly, not pregnant. In addition to the clothing/weight gain frustration, lately I feel like I've been obsessing too much over the number of calories I eat and not focusing on the health of the baby. I feel like I get a little too excited on the days when I'm under my calorie goal, which I don't feel is healthy right now. I've decided not to log or weigh myself this week, just focus on eating healthy and keeping active. My body will do what is right for the baby, and I need to trust it. (I say this to others, but it's hard to practice what I preach!)
On a happier note, my parents told me that my brother's vacation request has been approved, so he'll be able to come for a visit in December, and my parents will plan their Christmas trip to overlap for a bit so we can all be together for a few days. (My immediate family is spread out in 3 provinces, almost all the way across Canada, so visits with all of us together have become rare!) I'm super excited for him to visit, the only thing is I worry he'll get bored! According to mom he's hoping to visit for 2 weeks. Visiting a cold climate (although not as cold as his), in December, in a city where he doesn't know anybody, with two parents of a newborn who probably won't be up for a ton of entertaining? I'm sure we'll be out and about to a certain degree, but not like we would if we were entertaining guests without a baby in tow. Luckily he has a military/police background and is super clean, helpful and on the ball, so it will be good to have him around to help while DH is at work.
Anyway, that was a bit long, but that's my update for now!0 -
Yay for the deep freezer! I have been wanting one to go in my laundry room for forever! Our freezer that attaches to the refrigerator is so tiny.
In your profile pic you look cute and small...not round and like you have a pot belly! In fact I am a bit envious that you are still too small for maternity clothes. I had to start wearing them at 7w. Buttoning my pants just put too much pressure on my abdomen and it hurt. It seemed like as soon as the 2 pink lines appeared so did my belly! But granted, this is also my 6th pregnancy.
That is exciting about your family visiting! I wouldn't fret too much about your brother. There are plenty of things you can do at home for entertainment. Games, videos, karaoke, just talking. I bet it will be a blast just to be together! And I am sure he will love being able to see his new niece/nephew!
I had a surprisingly fun 4th! I know that sounds weird, but we where spending it with DH's family and there has been some huge conflicts and issues with them lately so I was stressed about it. But I ended up talking to his cousin and her husband the entire night and it was so nice! We never really talked before because she had heard things about me and I had heard things about her...yadda yad ya...so we just kinda avoided each other. Well yesterday I just sat next to her and asked her about the house they just bought and the next thing I know it is after 8pm and the four of us are still deep in conversation and enjoying it! What a relief!
Hope everyone else had a great week so far!0 -
Grr...had my reply all typed up and then lost it. That what I get for trying to juggle work and internet ..
Glad to hear your 4th of July was fun! I know what you mean about stressing out about spending a holiday with the inlaws. Mine are completely different from my family, different generation (DH's parents are a bit older than mine) and different culture, they can be overwhelming! Funny how two people can hear negative things about eachother and wind up getting along once they sit down and have a chat! Hopefully that will make the next encounter less stressful!
I feel like I'm turning into an old homebody, given how excited I am about the deep freezer! I'm glad I'll finally be able to stock up on sale items, and looking forward to freezing leftovers more often! I'm planning to make a bunch of freezer meals closer to my due date, and I'd like to try making my own baby food when that time comes.
I've been wearing maternity work pants and casual capris for quite a while, but haven't had a need yet for jeans which is why I've just started looking for some. I'm going home in a few weeks and the weather is colder/rainier there, so I'll definitely be needing them! I tried on an old top this morning and my boobs have gotten so big that I couldn't pull the shirt down over them without a struggle. I think my belly may have had a bit of a growth spurt since my last photo was taken, so this weekend I may head to the maternity store to see if some tops fit.
I've had body image issues for as long as I can remember, which is part of the reason why I feel like I'm getting wide and developing a pot belly, not looking pregnant. The weight has also been creeping up much faster than I thought it would, and even though I'm still about 10lbs away from my heaviest weight, my boobs/butt/hips/thighs are bigger than ever. I'd just gotten to a point mentally and physically where I was happy with my body when I got pregnant, so to see all of that hard work come undone is difficult. DH has been really sweet, affectionate and attentive since I got pregnant, but he's really amped it up recently in an effort to boost my spirits. He keeps reminding me that this is normal and healthy, and the weight will come off again. I know it's all in my head, and I'm not actually huge, I just *feel* huge.
I told myself I wasn't going to step on the scale for a while, but hopped on it this morning anyway. Was pleasantly surprised to see that despite almost a week of not logging and a high-sodium meal last night, my weight hasn't budged. I was sure it would be up given that I had quite the Angelina lips going on this morning because of water retention!0 -
Due 10/11/12 with my first!
Love hearing about other pregnant ladies on here!!0 -
Welcome Trista! I am due Oct 17th...so not too far behind you lol.
Jls- I know what you mean about self image. Been struggling with it too. I lost 62lbs before I got pregnant and if you compare pics of this pregnancy to last you can really see the difference BUT that doesn't mean I don't still feel like a fat hippo. Honestly though you look great to me.
I have to keep reminding myself that I lost the weight before and I will lose it again. Just frustrated. So I feel where you are coming from.
Hope everyone has a great Monday!0 -
I'm right with you all on the body image thing- I'm doing a LOT better than I did last time around, but it's still hard to watch my body expand- especially in the summer months! But don't worry- this is my second, and you CAN get it off after:)
Other than that, at 24 weeks- I've been feeling verrry pregnant these days. I know, I know- I have a long way to go and I'm not doing that bad. I just went from not really focusing on this pregnancy/keeping busy with my almost-2-year old. Then all the sudden last week it was like- oh man, I'm gettin' huge...anyone else feeling this way?0 -

Yep! You took the words right out of my mouth!0 -
YUP! I have been feeling VERY VERY large these last few days. It doesn't help that so many people have started making comments about how huge I am! Because you know every pregnant women LOVES to hear that :grumble: I find myself constantly saying "Yes...I am not due till October." "No...I am not having twins." "Yes I know I am huge." *sigh* Oh well.I'm right with you all on the body image thing- I'm doing a LOT better than I did last time around, but it's still hard to watch my body expand- especially in the summer months!

Anyone else feeling like they are having trouble bonding with baby? This is my 6th pregnancy, 4th child. I have 3 very active girls at home. I am a SAHM and homeschool. Lately I feel like I am so busy with husband, kids, house, schooling, chores, ect that I am not taking the time I did with the others to bond. Last night DH and I sat on the couch and talked with Skittle. We also just rubbed my tummy and enjoyed feeling the kicks. Yet I can't help but feel like I am missing the closeness with this baby I had with the others. It is bothering me.0 -

This is my first so I really have nothing to compare it to. I can understand how life and other kids would hinder the bonding a little bit. I think it's really nice you and DH took the time to talk to your little Skittle. I'm sure when baby gets here you won't notice the difference
I feel like my husband's attempts to bond are very sporadic. One day he's all over my belly and the next he's just irritated that I want ice cream again... haha.
My belly isn't huge but damn my thights are getting huge! I feel like all my weight gain has gone straight to my boobs and thighs! I already have stretch marks. DH thought it was nice of him to point them out to make sure I was getting my belly butter on those areas too... ugh! Good intentions, I guess!0 -
Just curious about a few things. When is everyone considering the start of the 3rd trimester? My dr. told me he considers it 24 weeks but that just sounds really early. I thought it was more like 27 weeks. Also how much are you increasing your calories for the 3rd trimester? I used maintainance for 1st, increased by 150 for 2nd, & haven't decided on what to do for 3rd. Maybe 250-300? One of the brochures or books I have said to increase by 450...umm yeah i'm not doing that, maybe when i'm breastfeeding, but geez that seems like way too much! I've already been averaging 1 pound a week with just what i've been doing. Some weeks it 2-3, some 1, some none, & some a loss (rarely), but averaging to be 1 pound each week. I'm scared it will become 2-3 lbs a week if I increase too much. Already up about 21 or 22 lbs at almost 25 weeks. =(0

I've always heard that the third tri starts between 27 and 28 weeks. That's what my OB goes with, too.
I'm 28wks, and eating approx 2000 calories per day. This works out to the MFP equivalent of maintenance for me. These suggestions came from my OB and nutritionist - everyone is different, though. Personally, I would take the advice of my current care provider with regards to calories, etc. There is a lot of conflicting info out there ... 450 extra calories seems like a lot?
If your weight gain is on track, you aren't starving, and you feel good - you could probably stay where you are.0 -

I'm going with 27-28 weeks for the third Tri as well- that's what all the resources online say. As far as calorie intake goes, here's what the American Pregnancy Association's website says:
Eating a well-rounded diet is important. According to the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, a pregnant woman of normal weight, who gets less than 30 minutes of exercise a week should strive for a caloric intake of 1,800 during the first trimester, 2,200 during the second trimester and 2,400 during the third trimester.
That seems like a lot to me, but I guess that's right. I'm still eating maintenance (and over if I'm still hungry), plus back my exercise calories...but I feel like 1800 is more than enough for me in a day. However, I do plan to up it in the final trimester. It all seems like a guessing game to me!?0 -
I've been eating around 2200- that's maintenence for me. I also eat back my exercise calories. I'll be upping it in the 3rd tri. (which is only a few weeks away... crazy!!!)
How's everyone doing/feeling? My back hasn't gotten any better. Working out/walking just aggrevates is so I've really been trying to take it easy. I don't want to mess up my back forever just because I'm stubborn and want to keep working out. I am bummed- noticing the loss of some muscle tone all over. Trying to stay positive.
Health wise- I've been feeling great. Hungry all the time I have noticed a few more mood swings. I spent all weekend with my MIL and found myself biting my tongue because she annoys me so much. I couldn't even speak because I know I would say something I would regret (or maybe not... but it would've been rude) We got to have a conversation about how I will never love her son like she does... well no *kitten*! You are his mom- I am his wife- a tad different... but thanks for the reminder. She also reminded me about 30 times how seriously she took motherhood. It was her full time job and thank god all of her kids are perfect. Ugh- sorry for the rant. She's just too perfect for her own good, I guess.
Happier note- baby is moving a lot now. Her movements are getting stronger and stronger! I love it! Two dr's appointments this week. I'm also up closer to 17 lbs now. My weight is steadily increasing. My belly is also steadily growing 0
