@WifiresGettingFit No we opted for the surprise :) As for names, if it’s a girl it will be Everly Rose, and if its a boy.... we are still on the fence. My partner very much wants a son to be named after him, Trevor. Though I like the name I’m not crazy about the “two Trevors” thing as I find it can get confusing. But since…

My pre-pregnancy BMI was 35. I’m currently 24 week and up 6 lbs. :)

My pre-pregnancy BMI was 35 as well. I’m 24 weeks and up 6 lbs. - amazing job on keeping your weight on track! How many calories would you say you’re eating a day? I’m a little nervous my gain is going to speed up and want to do my best to stay healthy as I’ve already had a nasty flare of carpal tunnel from swelling in the…

Hi ladies! It’s been so long since I’ve been here and felt a check-in was well overdue. I’m 24 weeks today and a lot has happened over the last few months. My first trimester was a huge low for me. Horomones were completely kicking my *kitten* and making me all sorts of crazy. I was worried I was actually developing some…

I got diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome yesterday... symptoms started about a week ago and progressed so rapidly that when I woke up Monday morning I was terrified that I had had a stroke as my whole right arm my numb. Doc said it's quite common during pregnancy, so now I have to wear a lovely splint during the night…

I'm in to my 9th week now... things have been going pretty good considering but I've had MAJOR difficulties with food choices. I am almost completely off vegetables, the thought of them alone makes me sick. They have lost all appeal which is awful! I tried eating a salad last night and it was the closest I've come to being…

@VeryKatie That’s what I’ve been reading but there’s still a part of me that’s riddled with guilt... I will try my best to work through it though :) If all goes well my estimated due dates is February 17th, 2019. First doctors appointment isn’t until July 10th so we will know more then!

Well ladies, after a few weeks of waiting, two negative HPTs, and a missed period... we got confirmation yesterday: I'm expecting! I must have taken the first couple HPTs a bit too early. I'm kind of anxious and freaking out because after I got the second negative I got quite tipsy with some girlfriends who were visiting…

What symptoms did you notice up until the time you took a HPT, if any? I'm in the TWW right now and I'm driving myself crazy looking for even the slightest symptom :(

Hang in there girl! :)

I have seen conflicting reports of what happens to nutrients while pregnant - is there any scientific evidence that you can share that shows nutrients go to the baby first and the mother gets whats left? This makes the most sense to me but I've come across a few posts in other groups that contradict this.

I haven't done any goal setting for a few months so I figure it's time to get back in to it! For May my goals are pretty simple - I like to stick to the tried and true! lol 1. Lose 4% body weight 2. Workout 3-4 times per work My partner has also decided that he needs to drop a few pounds so he's banned bread from his diet…

I bought a home OP kit last week (the digital Clear Blue one) just to see how out of sync I was from my Ovia app and seeing as this is my first cycle of BCP. I was extremely relived to see that the predictions all matched up, give or a take a day, and today I actually tested as being in peak ovulation. I know there's still…

@RhiannonBecks So happy to hear this - I don't think I'd be able to contain the excitement either. We'll be thinking of you!

@WifiresGettingFit Thank you very much for sharing! Like I mentioned it is very hard putting my OT lens aside and trying to be a support, but I see how much his challenges are affecting him and the world around him. I’m hoping that in time he will be come around but I will definitely back off until my partner comes to me…

Has anyone used the Ovia app? How long do you have to enter data for before it starts showing you some predictions... all I have is question marks! lol.

I've had a really rough week... feeling pretty defeated right now. Little background... I'm an occupational therapist. Previously I worked in mental health and developmental disability for youth and adults, and know I'm in early intervention pediatrics (kiddos 0-5 yrs). Bottom line: I know a thing or two about "typical"…

@WifiresGettingFit Thanks for the info! And sorry for the re-post... honestly one of the things I'm hoping and praying goes away when I go off BC is my anxiety. I feel like ever since being on the pill I overthink and overanalyze and overask everything and it's exhausting.

So last Sunday I started my last pack of birth control pills. This has been our plan all along, but for some reason I still felt the need to sit down with my partner and re-confirm that we were still full steam again. I'm a bit of an anxious over-thinker (which sucks), so I always have the need to "double-check" things. My…

Ditto to that! We'll be thinking about you :)

@WifiresGettingFit Definitely don't have 100% compliance but I think I've created much better habits than I had last month. Going to keep the same goals for March so hopefully I'll be better with the workouts next month (I can't believe February is almost over!!!)

The event went wonderfully! We raised just over $1100 - very pleased with the turnout.

Happy Friday everyone! I weighed in this morning and I'm down 5 pounds since this month... feeling VERY good about that! I'm hosting a "Ladies Night" fundraiser tomorrow for my service club (I'm a Kinette, for those of you that know what that is)... which means lots of booze and yummy snacks. It'll be my first real…

@WifiresGettingFit I missed a few rooms before we started in but I'll share what I have as they come together! The yard will be the most dramatic improvement but we're still quite a ways away from that one :)

@WifiresGettingFit So far it looks like I'm on track to lose the 4%... I weighed in this morning and I'm almost halfway there! Lunches have also come a long way... I did eat out once last week but I made a healthy choice! I feel more settled in the house so actually have time and space to do more meal prep than I want. The…

@WifiresGettingFit As of right now we have painted the entire house (two floors), and have ripped out the flooring in three bedrooms and the staircase. We will be carpeting these areas but unfortunately our carpet was back ordered until Feb. 20th :( We are also doing a bathroom reno with new vanity and storage, replacing…

Any examples of what "medically necessary" would entail? And how did you find out, through your doc or did you plead your case directly to your insurance provider?

Week is going well for me... had a bit of an off-kilter weekend as we continue our renovations. We both get home from work and then start right into house projects so that typically means late/missed dinners, or grabbing something takeout. Amidst the chaos Im still trying to put aside some "me" time... I'm keeping up with…

For this month my goals are: 1. Workout at least 4 days per week. 2. Lose 4% of my body weight. 3. Be more consistent with packing my lunch for work.

WOOOOOO we got the keys to our new house last night! We have been living with my parents for the past couple weeks so my man was pretty anxious to get in to own place... we basically just moved the bed and a few overnight necessities, this weekend will be the big move! Decided that I'm going to finish up my current supply…
