    Brandy--- i had the WORST morning sickness (all-day sickness, actually) from wks 5-9 and i tried everything: ginger gum, sea-bands, preggie pops, ginger ale, peppermint, sleeping on my left side, lemon water... you name it, i tried it. for four consecutive days i couldn't keep down food or water so i ended up in the ER where they gave me an IV and prescribed Zofran. I was in no place to say refuse medication (even though it wasn't something i was for) and it has been a lifesaver. it doesn't take away all the nausea but it does keep you from throwing up (I haven't since week 5 when i left the hospital!). *like someone else said, it is definitely constipating so i was told to get a probiotic to take with it and that has helped.
    i am now almost 11 weeks and the nausea is almost completely gone (yayyyy!) so there is light at the end of the tunnel. :)

    jennie :flowerforyou:

    Thank you! I will keep that in mind!

    Nurse intake and first ultrasound this afternoon. Any tips? What should I do or expect?

    I have my list of questions, but I think the nurse will probably say "You'll have to ask the doctor." And I'm not sure when I'll get to talk to her yet. Hopefully, I will have another appointment scheduled to meet with her.

    Happy New Year ladies! It is so exciting to see so many new mommies on here! We started this group with about 4 of us and now this group has so many people it is hard to keep track of everyone! It is so awesome to see so many pregnant women with a passion for staying fit and healthy during their pregnancy! I truly believe this is what made my pregnancy almost perfect (I say almost cause I had some horrible rib pain at the very end...but besides that my pregnancy was a breeze and felt great), my labor/delivery textbook, and my recovery pretty awesome too (I'm now only 6lbs away from my prepreg weight and Charlee is only 6wks old!) I'm not bragging at all...just telling you how worth it it is to keep up the awesome work and keep doing what you are doing! :) I just love fitness and living a healthy life and I respect and admire others that have the same passion for life! Your babies are SO worth it!

    Belinda I just wanted to suggest also looking into The Bradley Method for natural childbirth. It is the class that my husband and I took and I truly believe it helped us both in the labor/delivery. I was able to have a beautiful natural birth and used a lot of what I learned in the class. Good luck! :)

    Ashley you are next! I can't believe you are so close! I am so excited for you! I can't wait for you to move over to the mommy board!

    To everyone else, keep up the awesome work! It isn't always easy to pass up all the junk and to get up and get in a workout...but it is SO worth it! I wish you all a Happy New Year and hope that you all have healthy pregnancies and the ultimate goal of a healthy baby and healthy mommy!

    Heather - I know I can speak for most of us when I say that you are such an inspiration!!! When I feel lazy and don't feel like doing anything I think of you "pushing past the lazies" and I get my rear in gear! :) Thank you for being so darn amazing! :)

    I'll be going to the gym for cardio today. It's so chilly outside so I'll be doing cardio indoors. Eric started P90X again yesterday and I did some strength training with him with light weights, of course. I'm glad he's doing it because this will help me incorporate more strength back into my routine. I think he has plyo today so that's why I'm going to the gym and doing the elliptical and treadmill. :)

    We had a nice, long, relaxing weekend. We bought Abbie's crib and dresser and got that all put together. I washed all of her clothes and put them away. Man, Ashley, you're right...that takes forever!!! We're combining our guest room and nursery so we got a new comforter set for the guest bed that will go with the nursery colors. It looks pretty darn good, if I do say so myself. :) I still need to get a glider chair and work on decorations for the room, but at least we have the main stuff in there. A friend of mine is giving us a baby shower next Saturday so that'll be fun.

    We have another ultrasound this Thursday and I'm so excited!! I'm hoping they do 3D again. I'll be 29 weeks on Friday so she should have more fat on her face this time. :)

    Goals for the week:
    Yesterday: Did about 20 minutes of strength as well as walking around Wal-Mart for a couple hours.
    Today: 1 hour cardio
    Tomorrow: 20-30 minutes of strength & 45 minutes prenatal yoga
    Thursday: 1 hour cardio
    Friday: 20-30 minutes strength & 45 minutes yoga.
    Hopefully we'll have some warmer days to walk the dogs during the week as well.

    Hi all :) man this board is busy! So many new ladies I can't keep track! lol

    Well there have been some new developments in my situation...I am going to be applying for short term disability to see if I get approved and take off work early. 6 weeks early to be exact. I'm trying to tough it out but it's really taking a toll on me. This carpal tunnel business is no joke. I'm wearing hand braces now which help somewhat but cause my fingers to swell worse so I can't wear them for too long. Sleep deprivation is also starting to get to me because I am waking up so often because of my hands (even sleeping with the braces on) combined with having to pee all the time and then just not being able to get back to sleep. Last night I probably had 4 hours of sleep in total. It was brutal. And now I'm pretty much useless at work.
    I sent my boss an email because I haven't seen her since Dec 15th and I want to give her some warning before she comes back to the office on Friday. I'm hoping to be off starting January 9th but we'll see. I made an appointment to see my Doctor tomorrow to get the paperwork started - I'm going to continue working until I find out if my short term disability is approved - the HR manager in our Calgary office said she couldn't see why it wouldn't be approved but I want to keep working until I know so that if by chance it isn't approved I will just keep working (even though that will be very hard) because I don't want to start my mat leave that early. So I will keep you posted. I didn't want to be off work this early but I really need to think of not only my health but Mason's as well, being stressed out all the time and getting no sleep and being in pain all day probably aren't so good - plus I don't want to do any long term damage to my hands.

    Anyways, that's the latest. Other than this new update my weekend was pretty good. Got a lot of things accomplished and I think we're pretty much set for baby products etc that we need for the first little while anyway. Just need a glider chair and some back up change pad covers and maybe some more diapers.
    I got my hair done yesterday, just some highlights/lowlights to brighten up my hair - I have my pregnancy photo shoot this weekend so I just want to look my best because I feel far from it these days lol.

    I have two breastfeeding classes coming up this month on the 16th and 23rd, really looking forward to them. Anyone else taking classes?
    Also, does anyone have any books yet on newborns? Any people would recommend?

    I'm really hoping I can get some workouts in this week, I'm going to try to go to the gym in my neighbourhood this week and walk on the treadmill or do the elliptical. I really need to keep up my water consumption as well to help with this swelling and cut down on the salt...I may have had too much this weekend...one word: Tostitos

    Anyway - hope you all have a wonderful week!

    How many kids do you have: 4 year old Kaiden August, cancer survivor extraordinaire!
    Due Date: August 29, 2012
    How far along are you: ~6 weeks
    Do you know the gender: not yet
    Babies Name: TBD although, for a girl, I love the name Kaia
    Where do you live (if you want to share): Dallas, TX
    Workouts you are doing while pregnant: Boot camp, walking, swimming
    Anything else you'd like to share: I feel so old being pregnant at 38! My son is super excited to become a big brother. We'll see how long that last. :) Ideally, I wish I could maintain my weight (the baby gains, I lose), but realistically, I'm hoping to gain no more than 15-20 pounds. I'm not as healthy as I was when I had Kaiden and I'm worried because I have high blood pressure. I'm committed to eating as cleanly and healthy as I can and getting as much exercise as possible.

    OK, Here are pics of the nursery. We still need a rug and changing pad cover, but it's about 95% done!

    Morning!!

    Been working on our "TO DO" list for the last few days and man have we knocked off some items!! Nursery is done!! We opted not to do the mural and just hang picture frames since we know we're going to change the room once he become a toddler.

    Hubby & I agreed (since I'm an extreme couponer) that we also need to focus on our post baby home stock pile. We know it'll be difficult to get out the house the first few days and want to have a few items on hand that we know we'll need (since both our families will be in and out of the house) for example: toilet paper, paper plates, paper towels, ect....

    QUESTION~
    Both my SIL & a few friends have stated that I use nothing else other than DREFT for laundry detergent.
    problem is it's a bit pricey and it may be out of our budget in the long run?? Has anyone else used Tide (dye/perfume free) or ALL (dye/perfume free)???

    Thank you!!

    Ashley- I love the nursery...it is very cute and cozy...and I really adore the blue vintage dresser...ahh...your little one is going to absolutely love it.

    Belinda - I don't use Dreft because when I started using it for my son's clothes it had a slight smell not a bad one just one I didn't like so I used ALL Free and Clear and that worked out fine...last month I used 7th Generation no dye/no perfumes and it was ok...but the hubby doesn't seem to like it so back to ALL I go.

    Ashley - The nursery is so cute!!

    Belinda - I use All F&C and really like it. I wash my son's cloth diapers in it and have had no stains. Per the cloth diaper recommendation (I use BumGenius) I only bleach once a month so it has to be the detergent!


    Went to my OB apt this morning. Baby is healthy, placenta looks great. So I got the OK to go back to normal activity!! He said to start out slow, no more than walking a mile a day. And take it from there. So my plan this week is to get back on the treadmill every morning! I'd go for a walk but it's about 20 degrees here ha!

    Anyway, just had to share the great news :D Happy Tuesday everyone!

    How many kids do you have: This is #1
    Due Date: January 10, 2012

    Do you know the gender: Nope
    Babies Name: If its a Boy, Massimo Biagio. If its a Girl, Tiziana Danielle
    Where do you live: Chicago, IL
    Workouts you are doing while pregnant: At this point walking. I was doing some minor strength/cardio and pre-natal yoga, but that has tapered as my pregnancy progressed.
    Anything else you'd like to share: I have gained a total of 20lbs and am 3.5cm dilated and 50-60% effaced as of last week's appointment. I will find out if anything has changed tomorrow at my next follow-up. I am getting extremely anxious and exceedingly more excited!

    Welcome all the newbies! You're going to love this board. What an inspiring, positive group of ladies!!

    ElizabethJ17: Congratulations! So excited for you!

    Nichole: Also huge Congratulations!

    Imperfect511: Congratulations!!!

    THANKS BRENDA! Everyone is having their baby, but mine is still baking. :smile: Sorry I haven't checked in. Had a lot of family in from out of town and with the holidays, it just got too chaotic. Unfortunately MFP took the brunt of the negligence. Glad to hear you had a great holiday.

    Denise: So glad to hear you're doing well. I have actually heard that Dreft is full of perfumes and additives and won't be using it. If your baby should have sensitive skin, it could cause serious issues. I am using EcoSprout. Here is the link to their website. http://www.ecosproutsoap.com/ Its safe for cloth diapering and all the other good stuff for baby. It is also very comparable, if not cheaper than most commercial laundry detergents. 48 oz bag: 48 to 96 loads* $13.98.

    Belinda: I plan on cloth diapering! Here is a link to a youtube series I found extremely helpful. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVo6SMebcX8. Also, look into any local cloth diapering specialty stores in your area. I found one in Chicagoland, and the ladies that own the place are outrageously helpful. You might have the same experience. I feel pretty well-informed at this point so feel free to message me with any questions.

    Heather: I ditto Kristy!

    Ashley: LOVE THE NURSERY!!! Adorable.

    AFM: I've had lots of family in from out of country for the holidays and my Aunt's/Uncle's 50th Wedding Anniversary celebration. We spent every available moment showing them the city. They left yesterday so things should return to normalcy. Whatever is normal these days anyway. I suppose I shouldn't get too used to anything though because this baby could come any day now. (So excited!) We did get our crib delivered on Friday and the hubs and I were able to get all that we could accomplished, which pretty much means everything. I want to put a wall decal up on the wall behind the crib, and we won't be receiving the dresser until likely the end of January so there will be minor work to be done still, but all the major stuff is ready to go. I will try to post a few pics in the next few days. I also got my maternity shots back and am super excited at the results. I am a little self-conscious because I am bare belly but I think I might post one anyway. Eating over the holidays was fine. I have been allowing myself to indulge a bit more lately, partly because of the holidays, and partly because I am so close to my due date...I guess I feel like I'm treating myself. I feel great, and I really can't say I've over-indulged....as in the 'I shouldn't have just done that' feeling. I have been walking much more consistently lately, getting anywhere from 2.5 to 3.5 miles in with the pups. And with everything going on, I haven't had a any time to mope around and be lazy. In one way or another I have been extremely active. That's not to say there isn't significant room for improvement, as there always is.

    Goals for the week:
    INCREASE water!!!
    MORE VEGGIES!!
    Stay consistent in my walking routine.

    I also updated the Due Date Calendar, and added myself in:

    Happy New Year to all mamas, and welcome to new mamas. I've been only reading all the posts.

    I had a weirdest dream last night - my baby girl has one foot sticking out my belly and won't stop kicking. She must be kicking so hard while I'm sleep (but too tired to wake up). :-)

    Thank you Kristy that is beyond sweet and I don't think of myself as "inspirational"...just an average woman with average genetics who has a passion for being above average in the health and fitness department despite have a baby! lol!

    I don't use Dreft and haven't had any problems. I just use the Tide free and clear and the softener with no dye/perfumes as well. Some babies are very sensitive with their skin....but most have no problems as long as you don't use softner and detergent that has a lot of dye and perfumes. Dreft is pricey and not always needed.

    Rosanna I'm so excited for you too! I can't believe you are due so soon! Yay!

    Ashley the nursery is beyond adorable! Great job! I love the natural kind of eclectic, vintage feel. It is simply beautiful. :)

    OMG! Where have I been? This board has really taken off! Get ready for a long post! LOL
    Happy New Year! Welcome to all the new mommies-to-be!

    CONGRATS Nichole and Elizabeth!! How exciting!

    Rayna~ I am SO sorry you are having such a rough time with your hands. I really hope you can find some relief and get the disability approved.

    Ashley- that room is absolutely adorable!! Well done. I’m sure it feels great with all of that taken care of…

    Denise- Congrats on getting the nursery done as well! I can’t wait till that is off my list of TODOs. I was wondering about Dreft as well.

    Lindsay! YAY! Glad that everything looks good and you can get back to moving! Such good news!

    Rosanna~ My oh my, time is flying by! Glad to hear you are doing so well!

    Hattie~ That is SO funny! She must have been practicing karate. LOL I have yet to have any crazy dreams, but I’m sure there are some in my future. My surroundings have always made it into my dreams in the past.

    Heather! I have to completely agree with Kristy! You are so amazing! Thank you!!! Oh, and thanks for the detergent info!

    Sorry to those I have missed, I will be trying to keep up more, now that I am getting back to my regular routine at work AND hubby just added internet to the house!! Can you tell I’m a little excited? 

    AFM: Feeling good, doing good, and getting stuff done. Don’t really have any complaints.
    We had a great Holiday week with family. My sister from GA stayed with us, and we even got to visit with my SIL from England. We went up to his parents for the past 2 weekends to visit (2 hours each way, not the most fun) and had a blast playing with our nieces and nephews (5 total).
    Before Christmas, Hubs and I got the nursery painted and he plans on installing the chair rail and closet organizer system in the next couple weeks. We are doing a Dr. Seuss theme, so we painted a bunch of crazy designs in different colors which will be below the chair rail. I can’t wait till it’s all together.
    Yesterday, I (and what seemed like EVERY other expecting mom in my area) went to Babies R Us and got my registry going. I didn’t finish it, but at least I got a start. My sister and I worked out that March 24th would be the best time to have my shower. Our schedules are hard to work around with her in GA and me working at the Opera House with performances on the weekend. I’m super excited; it’s going to be fun, but low key.
    I have been Zubaing at least once a week, sometimes twice. It’s so hard to take it easy in class. All I want to do is jump around and go crazy, but my body definitely yells at me when I do/try. I have been trying to get into the habit of riding my stationary bike more. For some reason it just don’t think about it as often as I should. Also, I have been a slave to the junk food lately! Ugh! So this leads me to my goals…

    How do you upload pictures to the message board?
    use the [ img ] / [ /img ] tags with out the spaces

    Furthermore, you have to use an image hosting site like Photobucket. I didn't know that for a while. Here is a link to a good thread about uploading:

    Good luck!

    WOW!!!! Tons of new people! Congrats to all the newly pregnant people, and CONGRATS to the new mommies!!

    New Years was great. Had a good weekend, pretty laid back and calm. No exercise, but minus the 4 cookies I ate, I did good with food and water!!! Yoga is my plan for tonight, and some sleep. Totally couldn't sleep all night last night!! Baby is super active and I am a bit uncomfortable but nothing too major I guess. Really just ready for Feb though! Today was the first day of training for when I'm gone. Things went good, but it really made me see how unorganized and crazy things are still, so that's my main goal for the week is getting things back to normal and a lot more organized. Wish me luck, I think I really need it!

    Sorry, don't have time to respond to everyone.

    Ashley - Your nursery is adorable! I like the antique look and that is the glider I want. LOL Good luck at your U/S too.

    Denise - I know a lot of people who use Tide free and clear, seems to work good. I use dreft, and I love it. I used it with my son until he was 2 then I switched. There are a lot of different kinds, I've heard to watch close because some of them are not really free and clear. LOL, Good luck!

    Rayna, So sorry to hear your going through all that you are. I am right there with you on the NOT sleeping. It is horrible, seems like I just get sleeping good and it's time to pee again. 4 trips to the bathroom in 8 hours last night, geeze, I just want sleep. I hope things work out in your favor. Good Luck.

    Brenda - Your pic is cute!!! My doctor did say towards the end, I might not gain and some people lose weight. I'm really hoping to not gain any more, but I have 5 lbs leeway, so well see what happens.

    Atomdraco - LOL, I've been having some weird dreams too. I swear I didn't dream for like a year straight but these last couple weeks, when I do get to sleep, it always seems like something weird. Last night a guy from my class in high school was the father, WTH, I haven't even thought about that guy since we graduated, LOL.
