HI everyone. Sorry I have been MIA lately. I have had a LOT of work and been staying late til like 8 o'clock sometimes.
So needless to say, its just been crazy. Its taken me a few days to read where I left off because this board moves FAST!! HA!
It will take me forever, to respond to everybody so I'm not going to but know that I have read everyone's blog.
Update on my situation: I had been on restrictions since going into pre term labor the day before Thanksgiving and I was SO over it! I had an appt the 15th last week and was hoping and praying that I could go back to regular exercise and off restrictions! NO can do. I have been put on complete bed rest. WTH! Do you know how aggravating that is. Midwife checked me and said cervix was mushy, etc. and that I needed to be completely down until 36 weeks. After arguing with her for a few minutes she put me on half days at work since I have a desk job and I will then be working from home. So I finally said, please clarify bedrest for me. She said, when you get home, you are in bed! I'm like geez, GREAT!! when there is SOOOO much to do. I honestly feel fine. So I guess this is a little weird for me. So, I'm listening to her and hanging on for another 3 weeks until I'm able to get back to normal.
I think Nkster said she is over being pregnant and I AM TOO!!! This not exercising, being in bed crap just has me very frustrated. She doesn't think I'll get to my due date, Feb 5th. So we'll see. Hubby has been working on the house and getting everything ready. Working on nursery, etc. (this is because he procrastinated) painting the house. Lots of work to be done and I can't even do anything about it!!!
Besides that, I only gained 1lb so I'm up 24lbs and lets see if this trend will keep going. I hope I will not go over 30lbs. We'll see since my goal was 25lbs and that doesn't look like it'll happen.
Goals: Drink more water!!! (have not been able to do more than 32 oz a day )
watch EVERYTHING I put in my mouth!!! since I can't really exercise
Strech! I feel really soar from not doing anything.
Elce 33W1D (23lb gain)
Elce, I was getting worried about ya!! Hadn't heard from ya for a while but I know we are all under tons of stess....Glad to hear that your ok...well, as ok as can be. You too hang in there. This baby will come soon enough and you'll be back at your work out routine in no time!! ((hugs))0 -
Happy Monday Morning!!
Had my doctors apt this morning for my 3rd gestational exam. Should have results in the next day or two. Doctor was extremely pleased with my results to date. Only gained 3 lbs in the last month!! WOO HOO!!! :smooched: and the baby is growing right as scheduled. Also found out, that apparently I've been having BH and didn't even know it. Now, that I know what they are and feel like I can keep better track of how often I'm getting them. From here on out I'm on the 2 week visits. Kinda excited about that BUT he did tell my that apparently I'm no where near drinking enough water....
Weekly Goals:
Yoga or Pilates (depending on work load)
Drink 8 glasses of water DAILY
Maintain my fruit/veggie intake through this next week0 -
Hi Everyone!! Wow it's hard to keep up with the posts on this board lol
I hope everyone is doing well and had a great weekend!
I'm officially on vacation and it feels great, so nice to be able to focus on personal stuff and not have to worry about work for a bit!
We had our 3D ultrasound on Friday...I can't even describe the experience it was so amazing...but I'll try lol. It was WAY more detailed than I had expected, I was completed shocked when Mason came up on the screen and it was MASON...really - every detail of his face and hands and legs and heart and spine and it was surreal - I was completely overwhelmed with emotion and tears were pretty much streaming down my face for the first 5-10 minutes and I couldn't even speak. he is so beautiful and looks just perfect and happy and healthy! And man does he have some LEGS lol
It's crazy too, he has my face...he has my nose and my lips and little features that I have, he has my husbands jaw line and definitely my husband's legs! lol His foot was right up beside his head and he kept kicking himself in the face! lol
He was really active because they kept feeding me suckers lol
Anyway not to go on too long it was a really amazing experience and I feel so lucky to have been able to do it! We got a DVD of the whole ultrasound and a CD with 100 pictures as well as a teddy bear with Masons heartbeat inside - it is so cool!
Another great part as well was that my mom and Jay's parents got to be there with us, my dad and Jay's sister got to watch live online too...so cool.
Anyway, that was the highlight of my week...or well my life in general so far lol it was amazing, I would highly recommend it to anyone considering it!
Ok well I'm off to go meet my friends brand new baby boy and then do some Christmas shopping!
Have a great day all!

Quick check in!!!! My weekend didn't consist of much. Not feeling good on Friday night, went to bed super early, Saturday I did pretty much nothing, cleaned house, made a gingerbread house with my son, ran a few errands, Sunday I did yard work! So glad to get that out of the way!!! Damn tree still has more leaves and I've already raked and bagged 19 bags!!!!!! It's almost done though. Cleaned house, Sunday also, organized a few things made the Christmas Dinner menu, (First year I'm having it at my house)! Pretty much a boring weekend. Work will be super busy this week, but I only work half days Wed. and Frid. I'm glad about that! Totally have no appetite at all! Anyone else having this issue? I am making myself eat and it makes me want to puke!! I feel like I could go all day w/o eating and I probably would if I wasn't pregnant, but I am trying to get in calories for the baby. I think I finally came up with some names, won't fully decide until baby comes, but Avery if she has lighter colored hair, and Emberlei if she has dark hair....hubby don't like either, but we are never going to agree so too bad, he'll have to learn to like the name. Kinda feel mean, but I'm really to the point I don't feel like caring. I just want a name picked out. Had lots of contractions this weekend, with tons of pressure!!!! Kinda feel like she could fall out, doctor says it's normal, but my tailbone hurts and my hips hurt too....can't wait to just have her and be done with the whole pregnant thing!!!!!!!!!!
Will try to catch up more later, trying to get a million things accomplished today!0 -
Amanda- That is cute! Glad to hear you are ok. I think that is how the baby movements start, I also waited to feel afor a good while and it started slowly.
Misti-Awww the naming game, I had that issue with the hubby & son, trying to figure out a boys name. Good thing we had the girl name set in stone. I like those names they are very unique, one of my coworker named her little girl Andelyn, cute. if i remember correctly you said the baby's head is down? My Dr said that my ababy's head is down and could have caused the BHC i felt A week ago sunday. I have felt pressure on my tailbione too, no more BHC TG.
Rayna-Too cute! Hope you share an U/S pix.
Denise-yay for a good appt. Hope your results are favorable! Yes, drink that H2O.
Nichole-keeping my fingers crossed for you!
Elizabeth-Prayers & thoughts, sounds like your lil one while arrive soon.
Elce-So sorry to hear you're on bed rest, knowing you're such an active lady, it sounds like it's driving you up the wall. ((hugs)) to you and hope things slow down and baby stays on sched.
AFM:
I had the worst headache last night, that i ended up taking some non aspirin, but i feel so sleepy today. It will be crazy at work this week too, I am off fri-mon and I am looking forward to that. Friday we have the vinyl stickers to be installed in the babies room on schedule. YAY I am so excited.
Sat & Sun we did lots of cleaning, organizing and more cleaning. So the house is clean overall & all the baby's stuff is in the closet waiting for the holidays to get over so we can setup the crib, dresser & all the clothes.
Whoa still lots to do!

Slow day yesterday! Everyone must be busy getting ready for Christmas. My work day was pretty nuts yesterday. After work I managed some strength and time on the mill. I tried to do some running but I am seriously feeling a little wobbly these days and almost a little unsafe running on the treadmill. It's like it happened overnight. Eric even commented my belly looks bigger and lower. So my center of balance seems to be a little off so it may be in fact time to hang up the running hat for the rest of the pregnancy. I think I could stil manage outside but the treadmill is proving difficult, so walking hills it is! I'm a little sore today from the strength so that feels good. It's getting up in the high 50's here today but unfortunately I think it's going to rain. If not I may try to see how running outside feels.
My due date is 5 weeks from tomorrow so we're getting closer! The glider was on the front porch this morning so we have everything for the nursery to appear complete now except a mattress and rug so that makes me feel better. Eric should get lots done on that next week while he's off work.
Hope you all have a fabulous Tuesday!

I'm not pregnant yet, but we are planning on starting in the next 3-6 months so I'm definitely bookmarking this thread. This would be our first and I have no idea at all about anything, including diet, extra calories, exercising while pregnant, etc. So I'm very much enjoying reading this thread!0

Morning-
Been up since about 3ish....This baby was HUNGRY!! thank goodness for cottage cheese & pineapple. Couldn't keep it down my 1st trimester and now I can't seem to get enough of it...:laugh:
I have a TMI question:
I am finding it extremly difficult to do things that I'm use to doing: shaving my legs, painting my toes, tying my tennis shoes...Little things that we have always taken for granted....
SOOOooooo....how do you ladies//what do you ladies do to stay.....hmm...."groomed"....I've never done waxing and I don't think this is a good time to start....Just curious!0 -

Hahaha....nothing is TMI once we become soon to be mommies...that's just life! I never had trouble with the shaving my legs thing, but putting on my shoes was a pain with my first. I'm not that big yet but last time around, I had to get a mirror for my "grooming" lol!0 -
SOOOooooo....how do you ladies//what do you ladies do to stay.....hmm...."groomed"....I've never done waxing and I don't think this is a good time to start....Just curious!
definitely not TMI!!! like dixiejo said...i think anything goes for us soon to be mommies
so this is going to sound crazy...but i have always 'groomed' myself...only waxed a couple times for big vacations and such. but i knew this would become an issue with not being able to see in the shower...so i started practicing 'blind grooming' if you will. so now that i cant see anything...its all by feeling and not really seeing anything. granted, its probably not a perfect job...but it does the trick!!!0 -
Morning all!!
Had a not-so-good weigh-in this morning. I don't know why I am gaining so fast!! I eat around 2200 calories and exercise ALMOST every day. SO frustrating!! I think part of it has to do with the fact that I was not in maintainence mode before getting pregnant...I was only eating around 1200 calories daily and exercising usually 1-2 hours each day. Now, exercise is much less and I'm eating many more calories. I don't know! It's SO frustrating!! I 've gained 21 pounds and I'm 24 weeks! My goal is to gain no more than 35 pounds, and I'm hoping this is still an attainable goal. Just so frustrated at the moment.
On a positive, I got in a great workout last night, and planning to do the same tonight!
Hope you all have a great day!
Kristin--23 weeks, 6 days0 -
so back after vacation...man was it nice down in FL! we had perfect weather and it was so good to get away for a couple days to see some family :flowerforyou:
this week i am back at it big time because i weighed myself and DID NOT agree with the number on the scale. so i am trying to be ultra good this week...working out every day (so far so good because i got a gym work out in yesterday and am planning to go after work again today), plenty of water and eating healthy.
parker has been super active lately and i know he is just getting so much bigger & stronger because i can feel him so much more throughout the day which i looooove. i am doing well...we're almost at the two month mark and i have to say i am panicking a little bit. we still have not gotten the nursery set up and that is my biggest TO DO right now. i have all of next week off of work...so my goal is to get every stitch of stuff out of the extra bedroom and into the basement and get that nursery set up! if we can get that done before january i will be a happy momma...just right now its stressing me out like crazy :frown:
other than that...i am so happy its christmas time!!!! such a great time of the year! hope everyone is having a great day!!!0 -

Buy the book Taking Charge of your Fertility by Toni Weschler.
A friend of mine recommended it to me and she swears it is magic. Every woman she has recommended it to who has bought it has conceived within 4 months. I didn't even look at it much, let alone try any of the suggested methods. lol.0 -
Hi ladies! Just a quick check in
Kristin if you are eating nutritious food and staying active, then do not let the number on the scale get you down! I gained the majority of my weight by the middle of the second trimester and hardly gained any weight at all at the end. I ended up gaining 32lbs all together....12 of that being the first trimester and and 15 of that being during the second trimester. So just keep on doing what you are doing, feed the baby healthy foods (with a treat here and there) and stay active and it will be okay. Within a week after having Charlee I had dropped 20lbs! I am 8lbs away from my prepreg weight and haven't started logging my food (and am eating dessert daily), and haven't gotten back into a regular workout routine yet.... So trust me when I say it will be okay if you just stay active and eat nutritious foods during your pregnancy and not stress about the number on the scale. Easier said than done, but I'm living proof that it works!
As for the "grooming"...this was quite humorous for Al and I cause every time I took a shower I looked like a circus act trying to groom myself! lol I finally got to the point where I would do the sides and then every couple of days I'd ask Al to make sure things were even and help me out if they weren't. lol It was so funny and yet a little humiliating that I couldn't see if I was indeed even a girl anymore! And don't get me started about the doctor's office telling you to pee in those little cups...How are we supposed to hold a cup to pee in it that we can't even SEE down there?! lol Needless to say I always got pee on my hands....lovely. We have all been there, are there, or are going to be there...so don't worry about it and ask the hubby to help a girl out...he will love it!
I know around the holidays it seems impossible to keep up with working out and eating healthy...but just remember you are carrying those little ones that still need tlc so continue to do your best and I wish all of you a very happy holidays!0 -
Heather...you are WONDERFUL. Thank you! I don't think I would be so concerned if I hadn't gained so much my first pregnancy, however I did not exercise AT ALL that time. And I really ate anything and everything in sight, so I know I'm doing much better this go-round. But your words are very encouraging and I'm seriously keeping you as my role model this time! So, thank you. And I hope life with new baby is treating you well. I remember all those sweet moments with Kadence when she was that tiny...and I so look forward to that again with my new little munchkin. Enjoy every second!0

I have been a huge slacker with catching up. I am currently out doing Christmas shopping and wanted to give you ladies a heads up. Target is having a huge baby clearance on the larger ticket items including car seats, strollers, pack and plays, swings etc etc. They are on sale for 30-50% off. I just got a bassinet for $40 and a bounce seat for $20.0

Hey everyone!
Elce -- you are in my thoughts...hope your bedrest goes well and you get off of it quickly!
Nkster -- happy thoughts your way, too...I can only imagine how ready you are!
Well, I have been a moody beotch lately and can't stop wavering between loving and hating Christmas and all the crap that goes with it. Thankfully I don't have major nausea all day anymore -- just mildly all day, and if it really hits, it does so at night. The other symptoms come and go...
but a question for you girls about leg pain...
before pregnancy I had mild spider veins in my legs, and one or two visible larger veins behind my knees, but they never hurt.
Yesterday, after shopping for a few hours, my left leg was really sore, and I saw it in the mirror today -- I have a new big vein showing and a bunch of purple spider veins. I read up on it and it seems to be a normal symptom...but should I worry? call the doctor? I appreciate any thoughts on this as I don't have a general practictioner...I was going to the wellness clinic provided by my school district, but really don't find them knowledgeable, friendly, or helpful. They treated me 4 times for a sinus infection and never fixed it -- I finally went to an urgent care center and that dr got rid of the infection...
anyway -- I wonder if my OB/GYN would refer me to somewhere or would need to know? will the discomfort go away?
Ach...
I have been exercising and everything, only gained two lbs....
sooooo tired. Gonna nap now.
Hope you all have a great day:)0 -
AHA! How I
you ladies! You guys have become my very bestest online best buddies!! LOL!!
As for all the grooming comments- thank you! Make a girl feel right at home, LOL!! I've tried the blind grooming and that didn't work so well (at least not for me) and I'm just not brave enough to get it waxed. Tried the mirror the other night but I couldn't do the balancing act and groom at the same time...
Heather, your comments just made me laugh out loud!! DH has told me on more than one occasion that we would gladly help, as he gladly claims it as his prenant hubby duty.....but being a girl that has always done as she pleases I just find it hard to relinquish that duty!! Can a girl have 1 thing to herself? LOL!! As my tummy continues to go I may have to just give in to the obvious :laugh:
Heather as for the pee on the hands, Just went through that incident yesterday and I couldnt' help but laugh to myself!! Extra wash time on the hands!
Thanks ladies!!!0 -
So glad to find a forum for the preggers out there!0

Well...I've slowly been starting to feel crummy all day (really since lunchtime) and now my head is throbbing and a feel a little queasy! Don't know what's going on! Hoping I'm not coming down with something! Still hoping to get in my cardio/strength workout tonight, but if I feel like this all evening it may be a yoga night. We shall see... such a bummer when I actually have the motivation for a good workout!
Hope you all have a good night!0 -

Kistin- I say you skip the work out and got home and straight to bed!! If you body is trying to fight off somethign the best thing you can do is rest and let your body do the healing. Tomoorow will be another day, and hopefully you feel better!0 -
MrsJax11 - I would see the doc ASAP about your leg, likely just a varicose vein, but chance it could be a blood clot. See you clinic or urgent care to confirm.
AFM - Played hockey last night (fully aware that 90% of the people that just read that shook their head in disapproval). It was a late game, we got off the ice at 11:45pm. Well that meant by the time i got changed, home, snacked, unwound, showered and to bed it was 2am. I have officially hit the 3pm wall, which seems worse then it used be be pre-pregnancy. My team doesn't know, and at least once a month the topic of who's going to end up pregnant before the season is over comes up. Last time I didn't even make the list, this time I think I came in 3rd or 4th (beaten out mostly by childless newlyweds). It takes an incredible amount of self control to play along as I sit there 5 weeks pregnant
So tonight is a go home and get some sleep night, I will lift and run tomorrow night and Friday night. Going to be a busy weekend, not sure the gym is even open! We'll be skiing on Monday (more head shaking) and possibly Tuesday, which means I get to eat whatever the heck I want because its like a 3000 calorie day with maintenance and exercise calories!!
EngiAli - 5 weeks - Enjoying the last few week of baby tucked safely away inside my pelvis :00 -
MrsJax - I would definitely see your doctor
Babeed & Heather - thanks for the tips, I have done the blind grooming but I am sure my hubs would be more than happy to help. But like babeed854 I am so used to doing it myself and it's a little of me time...I don't think I want to give it up.
EngiAli - I think that you know best what will work for you and your baby...there will come a point when you can't do any of those things for a while so I totally understand you getting a a few more occasions before that time especially if you are taking steps to protect you and the baby.
AFM- my little man has been sick since Friday...so I haven't gotten in a workout in since then. Which sucks because I so need to workout...but he has been up and restless the last few nights and needs to be held and soothe in order to stay asleep needless to say it as left us all a little sleepy...finally took him to the doc today and he has a cold which I knew and an mild ear infection which I guessed...hopefully tonight will be a bit better. Otherwise things are just busy with all the cleaning that needs to be done so that we can have 20-30 people over our house this weekend for Christmas...so much to do and so little time. Also, haven't been eating as well...someone else mentioned but I just haven't been as hungry lately and by the time I realize I am hungry it's been hours since I have eaten and I am starving...odd really...just been so busy I guess...really trying to stay away from too much fast food although i had chinese tonite...but just have to monitor food intake since I am not sure about workouts for the rest of the week...would love to go for a jog tomorrow and then weight on Thurs and then BC on Fri...so I at least get 3 days in this week but we shall see...
in other news I think I found the treadmill I want for xmas---going to see if I can get everyone to pitch-in and help me buy...hears praying I can...
alright ladies...I am off to bed...
Kelley - 14 weeks 1 day0 -
Any ideas for some easy light exercises? I currently have a week left of limited activity and am going stir crazy without being active. The doctor gave me the ok to do very limited light activity. I have tried to get in walking daily and start off most days with stretching.
Oh and heather the pee on the hands made me laugh so hard0 -
Good morning gals!
Well...my headache got so bad last night it was making me nauseous, so no...I did not workout. I spent the evening laying on the couch. Bummer...but I do feel better this morning. We shall see how the day progresses.
We are meeting my brother-in-law and neice for dinner at this nice pizza place this evening, so I may go a little over on calories today...but I am planning to get some yoga in this evening. And tomorrow I hope to get back to my strength/cario workout.
bmfrazie...do you have any light yoga videos? I like to do those when I'm feeling tired or want something lighter. You can use them more for the breathing and stretching...or you can put in more effort and get a better strength workout...they're pretty versitile.
kelley...you'll get a workout in soon...I know it's hard when the little one is sick. That's usually when I try and get a quick workout in after they're in bed. And good luck with the treadmill! I love mine...even though it is buried in our basement now (we are in the process of refinishing) so I haven't gotten to use it for a while. It's a great investment!
Engiali...yes, enjoy the bit of time you have left before you start getting big! It will come quicker than you think!!
Everyone else...good morning!!!
Well...I hope you all have a great day and I'll check back when I can!0 -
Good morning ladies!
Heather - nice to see you and Charlee are doing well. Cute pic!
Kristin - I hope you are feeling better. Sometimes taking a night easy is just what is needed.
Bmfrazie - If you have access to a pool, light swimming may be nice. I agree wtih gentle yoga too.
Engiali - have fun skiing. I have never been skiing in my life and every winter I say I will. Maybe next year.
Kelley - Hope your guy feels better soon.
AFM - I am starting to feel maybe a little uncomfortable at almost 35 weeks. I have been very blessed with no sickness, not a lot of pain (other than my lower back), and general comfort and energy. It is getting harder to move around when in the horizontal position and I feel like today my underwire bra and rib cage are not getting along. I still feel pretty good though and desptie my post from yesterday, I was able to do a little running last night. I walked for about 30 and decided to finish up with a couple SLOW (I'm talking like 4.7-5.0 mph) "running" intervals. It was enough to get my heart rate up and some sweat going which felt nice. My lower back did pay the price as it was hurting me last night and when I woke up at 5am and didn't get back to sleep till 630 am. I need to learn how to fall back asleep quickly in the middle of the night. I think tonight I am going to do some yoga though. My hips and back are hurting a bit. I've been doing a lot of treadmill work and think I could use some nice stretching.
So all the talk about grooming I had to share my husband's comment from this morning. He looked at me as I was getting out of the shower and said, "you've got a pube-hawk." :laugh: Guess its time for a trim.
Alright, I'm off to work Christmas breakfast. I plan on eating quite a bit. I had such a big lunch yesterday (1200 calories of Cuban food!) that I had a small dinner last night so woke up starving. Hope you all have a good day!

ROOTTFFLLMMAAOOO!! I agree, definitely a good morning laugh!!
ASF: quite night on the home front. Finding this baby keeps moving so I skipped the pilates and did some Yoga. Didn't do much else. Just felt "needy" last night. Got to bed early. I have definitely entered the ** DREAM ** stage. Seems that I'm dreaming every single night and some of the dreams are throwing me off and I'm waking up a bit disturbed. Good thing I have a good listner who knows exactly how to calm my fears :smooched:
Working late tonight and I'm planning for some light yoga.
Water intake is not working out how I'd like either!!
Todays goal: 4 bottled waters within my 9 hour work day!0 -
good morning ladies! all the grooming talk is hysterical!!! oh the joys of pregnancy and our growing bellies!!
so i just hit 31 weeks today and am feeling great. i got in a good cardio/strength workout on monday and 30 minutes of cardio last night (had to cut it short because of much needed shopping!!) but i am planning to hit the gym again at lunch time today and get in both cardio and strength. then tonight we're going to a benefit for a friends father who actually passed away last night. the benefit was planned long before he passed...he was diagnosed with brain cancer last year and there are some major medical bills that have racked up within the past year. the whole situation is so sad...there are 5 kids in the family and his wife is the loveliest woman i have ever met. and the kicker...they are the epitome of health. i just do not understand why this happens to such wonderful healthy people!?!?! it really does put reality into perspective for me...its not about the things in life at all...just the family, friends and love that you have. so i am looking forward to the benefit...not sure if the family will be there...but the wake is tomorrow followed by the funeral on friday. sorry to be a bit down...the whole thing just really stinks0 -
Ashley - your husband's comment give me quite the chuckle...
Babeed854 - the dream stage...humm...haven't hit that yet although I do have some pretty odd dreams as it is...and in the beginning I had quite a few sexual dreams...good to know you have the support you need.
Kristinbee - glad you got to rest and your headache has gone away...hopefully it stays at bay...enjoy your pizza...we love pizza in our house.
jchecca - sorry to hear about your friend's dad...it sucks when bad things happen to great people. I will definitely keep them in prayer.
AFM: Thanks for all the well wishes for my little guy... Little man slept fairly well last night... a little restless but not like previously...the humidifier worked wonders for his conjestion...oh I forgot last night he got his first haircut...I was so sad to see his hair go.. I will make it my profile pic...he look so cute but I missed his hair he looked like a little Einstein before...Anyway... this morning I was awake and jogging...won't even call it running but I got a jog in and I felt great afterwards....yippy...ok back to finish my deadline...have a great day all..0
