Hi mamas! I am also due June 25th. This is our 4th baby. Before getting pregnant, I lost 15+ lbs using MFP to track food and taking tae kwon do. I'm still taking tae kwon do (and hope to keep going right up to the end!), but I'm not currently logging food. Will return to that this summer.

Hey Ladies! 22 weeks yesterday and plugging right along with this baby- number 3. My weight kinda jumped after Christmas. I went from a 6 lb. gain to an 11 lb. gain in like, a couple weeks. But now it's balancing out and I'm holding steady at +13. Still higher than I'd prefer, but I'm dealing with it:) Still staying active- I do a workout video a couple times a week and walk 3 miles the other 2-3 days. Plus, I chase around 2 toddlers all day every day .
This pregnancy has been a bit different in that it's our first time not finding out the gender. Because of that, it's been really hard for me to think long and hard about the baby- I have NO idea what it is! It wasn't like this with my girls- they had names long before they were born. Is anyone else with me in this boat??

I hit 22 weeks this week! That marks a complete five months in... It's going so fast. Yikes!

Still haven't shared the news with everyone, but we're sharing as we see people now. Kinda fun, kinda sobering. Still a mixed bag as far as emotions go. I'm not exactly excited, but getting there. Had to travel to D.C. for work earlier this week and realized that in a couple of years I'll be able to take him, too.

Tried to go shopping for our son last weekend and ended up buying nothing. I think we may be the only pregnant couple to walk into a baby store at 5 months pregnant and not buy anything!! I giggled to myself a little at all the excited mamas leading their very lost-looking mates around the store with carts loaded with all sorts of stuff. As for me and my husband, we both ended up shopping sort of separately but pointing things out to one another here and there. I think we were just overwhelmed. We're both kind of minimalist, so it was shocking to see just how much stuff is out there for babies!!!

Feeling much better other than the heartburn that I get from just about everything! Some days I forget I'm pregnant for hours at a time or wake up in the morning and don't remember until I start getting dressed) I still have a day or two every week when I get nauseous and vomit, but it lasts a few hours at a time instead of all day every day. Thank goodness for that.

The little boy inside me is quite a mover. I was nervous about how I'd react to feeling him the first time, but it's gotten quite normal to me. When I don't feel him for a while I miss it. My husband got to feel it for the first time a little over a week ago, and it was fun to see his reaction.

Hi ladies! I am due with my 4th (and final) June 21. I have been such a slacker. Only gained a few pounds so far but I am overweight to begin with so I am hoping not to gain much.

I am pregnant with my fourth also and due June 22 2015. I've found I've gained the least with this pregnancy, I was at a healthy weight pre preg and perhaps having three little ones helps with daily exercise ;-)

The only things I purchased so far are children books. We did renovate the baby room though: freshly painted walls and ceiling, new outlet covers, brand new carpet. Just need to make the closet baby-friendly. Oh, and furnish the room haha. The whole shopping for babies process seems so daunting for me...I just can't get excited about it for some reason.

This is my second baby, and we have almost everything we need already. I am on the lookout for a new stroller though, and we'll probably need to pick up some NB and infant-sized clothes because of different seasons.

i'm due in july I'd love to make friends with some other mum's to be who are maintaining their fitness journey. I've just satarted back at tracking and fitnbess after feeling pretty groggy and struggling with my blod sugars for about a month. Feel so much better after getting a hold on my food situation. Feel free to add me

I'm due with my 1st on June 8th. We're having a little girl! 10 pounds of gain so far at 24 weeks so hopefully I can keep it under 20 because I started the pregnancy overweight. I set my goals to losing half a pound a week just to keep myself in check because I was told a 10-20 weight gain would he sufficient for my pregnancy. I'm trying to become active again because I won't lie - I haven't been the best so far. Haha. Good luck ladies!

Me too CFishback
I've started back with some low impact classes and walking. I feel so much better

I am amazed at how much this little guy is moving! What an amazing thing.

Super busy weekend ahead, but I need to brainstorm how I'm going to fit in some fitness time on top of all the other obligations. My doc cleared me to continue with weights as long as I feel good, but I've been seriously slacking. I didn't anticipate how off my game I'd be after being sick for the first couple of months after finding out I'm pregnant. My workouts have been like once every couple of weeks instead of 5 days a week. I did find a fun short workout that involves really light weights (they say to use 3's or 6's but I'm using 15's and 20's) and is only about 15 minutes long, but I still can't seem to squeeze that in since when you add on time to dress, shower, and redress it's more like 45 minutes! I'm making excuses here. Gotta knock that off.

I hear ya!
I have scheduled in two classes a week.. only done 2 mind you
but that and again some light weights at home.
i've felt so Tired tho

I know! NikkiSixGuns - I feel terrible because i'm only half way through but sometimes its a struggle for me to do more than lay on the sofa! I guess we can only do what we can and then get back into a routine post baby! (when we have even more to do- at least we will be awake)
