Well, I am due August 23rd and this is my second pregnancy. This time around is already so different, I have been sooo tired all the time, nausea 24/7, and headaches all the time. As of last week, though, I have had enough energy to go to the gym and walk for about an hour or so twice. I want to say I can't wait until the second trimester but don't want to rush it either.

Two days of no morning sickness!! I even got in a good workout today. Crossing my fingers that I am done with the nausea! Anybody else feeling better nearing the 2T?

I've been feeling better and also noticed that I am feeling a lot less fatigued. Hoping this trend continues!

I feel the same way- knock on wood- I am going to try and start back at Yoga!

Hi

I told work (male boss) the day after my scan and it went well. He congratulated me and said was very good news! So, so far so good. Try not to worry and just tell them and then its done. x

I told them this morning, not as awkward as I thought it was going to be although I was sure I was beet red. :blushing:
I don't think I'll tell anyone else in the office until I start getting weird looks.

Oh and hello everyone
I'm due August 9th with baby #2 - my son is 3 1/2

Been sick, hopefully that's behind me...working out has been good, I haven't been tired (until about 8 pm!!!) and I get to work out on my lunch hour at work so that's been good.

Haven't had my u/s yet - I'm showing WAY earlier this time so everyone at work found out pretty early, but everyone has been really supportive, which is good!

Looking forward to hearing how everyone is doing

Brandy- I just bought the BAli U-fit Double support bra. They have them at Jcpenny. They are pretty comfortable and lots of support without a wire. I have bought these for my other pregnancies because nothing else worked.

Hey all Adding another Leo to the list. I'm due AUg 14th, 10 days after my birthday, 5 after my grandma and 2 before my brother!

I had all day queasies, never really got sick except the 2 times I took my PNV on an empty-ish stomach. I had been extremely tired the first trimester so I didn't get much exercise in. Which was odd for me going from half marathon training to practically nothing. I'm easing back into exercise now that I'm not so tired. I'll be 15weeks tomorrow and we find out gender Mar 15th as long as baby plays nice!

Hi there ladies! I'm having a heck of a time finding maternity clothes. My old ones from my first pregnancy are too big but there is no way I can fit into some of my "normal" clothes. I loved old navy clothes last time but they dont carry mat clothes anywhere around me anymore:( Do any of you ladies have any luck with any other stores?

I went to have an ultrasound and see the midwife yesterday. We found it that we are having a boy!!! :-) My daughter has been saying that it's a boy from the beginning and wasn't phased by it when the ultrasound tech told us. lol It was nice to see the baby on the screen but he was being stubborn & wouldn't move so I need to go back in 4 weeks for another ultrasound. She did say that everything she was able to see & measure looks good. It was really cool to see all of his toes and fingers on the screen. It's amazing how clear it looks. Well, I hope everyone else is doing well and feeling good.

Hey all It's been over a month since I posted in here, whoops! First off, we found out at 18wks that Miss Miranda is doing great FIrst girl on hubbys' moms side since her! Last girl on my side is 10yr old now, so we were due! Hubby is over the moon! Also during that visit, they notice 2 cysts on her brain so we did a blood test for Tri 18 as well as my cervix being shorter than normal. It measured at a 2.2. SO I was asked to come back at week 20 to check everything again. The test results came back with no issues so she's doing great and has a 1:7000 chance of any isues. My cervix, however was getting shorter (1.9 this time) so I went in for a rescue cerclage last Tuesday and had a week of bed rest to insure it healed correctly. I went back for my check up today and everything is going to plan, I'm on limited activity (mostly walking and swimming and yoga fr exercise on 30min at a time) but no bed rest!! I'm now 22wks and 1day. We haven't started on the nursery yet, just dreaming of how we want to do it til hubby moves his crap out of there, lol. Hope all is well with everyone else!

Hello and welcome candylea!

I am going for an ultrasound at 3:30 today and can barely contain myself. Of course I had the requisition form for 8 weeks and two days ago I thought to myself, I better put this somewhere safe so it doesn't get lost during the renos. Well I lost it and was scrambling to find it in my chaotic house. No such luck but the doctor's office faxed it over to the clinic for me so I can stop panicking. I'm at 21 weeks today and haven't seen the baby since the first ultrasound at 8 weeks but it was only a small bean then so I'm so excited to see a baby! this will be the longest day ever.........7 more hours

Well the ultrasound was great but i didn't get to see much. The baby was curled in a tight ball, feet tucked under bum, hands tucked in by it's head and facing my back. She said she got what she needed to see and everything looked normal and measured about right but I really could only see the spine. She looked for a long time to find the gender and then said hesitantly "well if I had to guess I'd say 75% chance it's a boy but it was really hard to tell so just in case don't buy anything blue just yet" . She might as well of said she couldn't tell for all that helped really. They might send me back for another one but who knows. I was really hoping to see it's face and a little movement but for now "everything looks normal" will do!

I just booked in for a 3d ultrasound! it looks cool anyways and maybe i'll get to see the baby's face

I'm a little late in the game as far as baby making goes. All of my friends have had children already so I don't think there will be a shortage of clothes. They've already unloaded most of their unwanted mat clothes on me which has really made my small house seem smaller! I must start purging the house soon or we'll never fit in it!

Potluck at work today. So excited.......might only eat dessert for lunch :laugh:

Hi! We're expecting a boy as well. My original due date was August 31st, then the u/s tech said the 29th then when I went yesterday she said the 25th.

Last time I weighed myself I was up 20 lbs but I havent' checked this week, probably closer to 25 by now. this is officially the heaviest I have ever been in my entire life. oh well....it's for a good cause

I've also been ravenous up until about 3 pm and then I could care less if I ate after that. Mostly just wanting carbs, meats have been iffy, more of a turn off than anything.

Other than that....A-OK!

It's been a week and a half since hubby left for his job in Chicago Gonna be a long summer without him. I've been keeping busy though. THe first 5 days were spent cleaning, partially nesting, partially b/c it just needed to be done. And if I go on bed rest and no one is here with me, it will never get done. I've got the nursery cleaned out and ready for her crib, which my MIL is suppose to be bringing over and assembling soon. My shower is June 24th, and I got to see the invites, they are adorable!! <-- Is the one my MIL/mom picked out and made. Anyway, I have my glucose test scheduled for May 25th, they will also check my cerclage then. Dreading the test results but praying for a good appointment. Have a great weekend all and Happy Early Mother's Day!
