I'd like to join. I'm 10 weeks today with number one (second pregnancy); I've been doing crossfit pretty hard since June. I competed in my first ever compeition last week at 9 weeks pregnant and did awesome. I lift Rx weight pretty regularly, and so far no issues have come of it, but this last week fatigue hit me pretty hard. It's already Wednesday and I haven't worked out yet! I'm hoping I can get my energy back soon.
My goals are:
-To continue with crossfit WODs 4 days a week
-Log every bit of food that goes into my mouth.
-drink more water. I don't get enough!

I've lost 6 lbs in one week due to morning (more like all day) sickness, and I think that has to do with me not working out as much, as well. I gain and lose muscle very quickly. Anyway, thanks for the thread. I'm looking forward to getting to know you ladies and working out with you all!
Happy Wednesday!

Morning all you beautiful incubators! Wish me luck, telling my boss that I'm preggo today. Hoping it goes well! Also unfortunately I'm up a pound and I'm just hitting 12 weeks tomorrow... booo! Have a lovely day all!

Good morning all you lovely momma's-to-be

Well yesterday I went to my chiro appointment and it was more like active release therapy on my forearms, hands, wrists & shoulders. It felt really good and I can't believe how tight my forearms are! She thinks that could be a major cause of my hand pain and them falling asleep at night. BUT...sigh...last night again I woke up many many times because my hand (depending on which side i"m on) was totally asleep! Oh well, I think it's just one of those things that happens with pregnancy - she said treatments could help but not guaranteed, but she did say that it would stop after I have the baby, so just have to hang in there
AND I figured out what this pressure/burning and pain has been in my chest/sternum area! It's heartburn! lol I feel a little dumb for not knowing but I've seriously never had heartburn once in my life before this so I just had no idea what I was experiencing. So yesterday I went out and bought some tums and drank tons of cold water and it reeeeeally helped :bigsmile: this morning I don't have that feeling anymore so hopefully I can go a day without it! That would be lovely!

I didn't work out last night like I planned, but I'm really going to try to do my new DVD tonight - the Sandra Sander's workout. :bigsmile: I'm excited to try it. I ate ok yesterday not my best but was really happy with the amount of water I drank so that's a plus!

My pregnancy photos are coming up January 7th - I'm trying to figure out ideas on what to do in the dead of winter here in Alberta lol...should be interesting. :happy: does anyone else have photos coming up?

I have my obgyn appointment tomorrow afternoon

Happy Hump day everyone! 2 more days until the weekend! :bigsmile:

(28 weeks 6 days)

Ashley: Sorry about the pup. Don't start missing her yet though. Make sure you enjoy the time you have with her that much more.

Welcome Jane! Positive thoughts.
Welcome jalyner!
Welcome kellyrorie!

Rayna: Have fun at the breastfeeding class! I took one through my hospital, and it was definitely informative. I think that classes will only prepare to an extent though. I think trial and error and determination are the most important aspects to learning to breastfeed. And listening to your body. I am actually doing my maternity photos this weekend. A little nervous because we are going for a art-sier take on the photos, and I'm not feeling real cute lately. My belly has POPPED in the last week or so. We'll see. The photographer is my cousin's fiancee so she is flexible. If they aren't looking nice, I'm sure we'll be able to change it up mid-shoot. If they come out nice, I'll post when I have them!

Tara: Hang in there. Look at it this way, you get to see your baby that much more before you meet him/her.

Brenda: Sorry to hear that the furniture shopping is getting frustrating. As annoying as it is, try try and try again.

Denise: Had the same sorta day yesterday. Couldn't get enough of the junk. Oh well...today's a new day.

Christina: GOOD LUCK!!

AFM: No workout yesterday, but major cleaning. I am crazy nesting, and decided at 8:30 last night to spend two hours scrubbing my floors. I have a feeling that aside from my walks, cleaning is going to be my main source of exercise over the next several weeks. I like to believe that I keep a clean house, but I just can't seem to get things clean enough these days. A mop doesn't cut it anymore. LOL. And I have to be honest, I ate like CRAP yesterday. I have had a craving for a Burger King whopper for weeks, and finally decided to satiate it. And then (as if that wasn't bad enough) when my husband and I were in Costco this weekend we discovered they started selling Cinnabon Cinnamon Rolls....O-M-G...I LOVE THEM!, and last night I cracked the container open. :blushing: :blushing: I know. Terrible. BUT SO GOOD!! I am finding myself allowing indulgences a bit more frequently now that I am quickly nearing my due date. I don't know what it is, but I don't really feel guilty about it either. That scares me. I could easily gain 10 lbs in the next 5 weeks, so I had better get a handle on this.
I have my next dr appointment tomorrow. Looking forward to it as I want to hear what he has to say about the last ultrasound images. Also we are discussing my birth plan, so a bit anxious because I am hoping he doesn't have many objections to my wishes.
Heartburn is getting pretty bad at this point, and almost everything is causing it. Finding the only thing that helps it subside is keeping a hard candy in my mouth (Halls cough drops are my #1 pick) for as long as possible as soon as it flares up. I don't even feel that TUMS are doing much anymore. Oh well, I'll take it! I love being pregnant, and heartburn is such a small sacrifice, I shouldn't complain.

Hope you ladies have a wonderful Wednesday!!!

I wanted to add I was able to schedule a hospital tour and looking to schedule 2 more. My Ob delivers at 3 diff hospitals, one is so close to where I live & the other 2 are further out. I was rooting for th close one, because of the convenience for my hubby to drop my son at bus stop & go to work, but I have to see it first. Then the other two have better reps.


Anyone else doing hospital tours or have already done them? What are you most concerned about? Me: I want post partum private room, do not want to share a room.

Sorry for no updates! My computer died and I am still with out one. I wish the app allowed us into the message boards. Anyway I am 33 weeks pregnant and still rocking the workouts and feel amazing. I can't remember if I posted but since doing ChaLean Extreme I became a beach body coach and got AFAA Group Exercise certified and can not wait to teach. I have found a passion in fitness and am loving helping others see their potential and reach their goals.

Exercises: I still do Chalean, I run and have another 5K in a few weeks, I do Zumba, kickboxing and core and strength. it is amazing how I feel since my last two pregnancies had me on meds the entire time and IV's.
