fellow huff here

Congrats!! Girls are awesome. I have 5. I am only 12 weeks tomorrow so we have a ways to go until we can find out.

Mittens.. My 5th baby used mittens. Yes, my 5th. It seemed no matter how short her nails were she still managed to claw at her little face. I didn't have mittens. we had to go buy them because I had never needed them before. It was very odd. I will tell you my thoughts on wipe warmers.. The baby might as well get used to…

I never buy to many really little things. Then again I have big babies. BUT they also grow out of them so fast! My 4th came a little early and was so small. we just went out and bought her a few tiny things after she came. :) I am sure you are good. I always make sure I have more 3-6 months then newborn.

Yeah 7 weeks tomorrow here and so puffy.. My daughters laugh because I look pg.. Although that has to do with this being the 6th baby too. It will get better. Soon it will be a hard baby belly instead of puff.

I hope to lose while expecting.. I have my first midwife appointment tomorrow for this baby. In Nov, when I was pg (we lost it) I was told not to gain and I could lose if I wanted. Actually what he said was "how many cals were you eating to lose?" I told him and he said to eat 300 more then that. I look forward to figuring…

I will have to look at those. I am already overweight and my doc said I didn't need to gain any weight (last baby in Nov) I am 200 pounds though and already need to lose 70 pounds. He rolled his eyes at the "recommended" weight gain in general. I see a high risk doc too.

Durham Here. Feel free to add me.

You can add me. I am due June 16th. Struggling to keep food under control being pg but I don't want to gain much this time. I was told I don't have to. Already up 5 pounds. Now that I am getting over feeling so sick I just started back to walking. Slow but it is better then nothing.

A happy mommy here. My first fit pregnancy magazine came in the mail. My two pg workout videos came yesterday. My husband wants to start counting steps. Anything to get him on some sort of weight loss and our very nice pedometers came too. Also I was able to get a walk in. Just a slow 30 minutes but I haven't done much…

French fries with cheese and BBQ sauce. NOT a normal food. Oh and good biscuits with blueberry jam and I don't even like blueberries that much. We joke this will be our southern baby. My husband has said I will NEVER want to see a fry after this. Whatever I crave while pregnant I never really want when the baby comes. I…

I am happy for you that all your tests are going well!! I have my ultrasound on the 24th and then my first appointment on the 29th. I can't wait to see just how far along we are. Still walking here and aiming for four miles a day. So tired though with everything else I have in my life it is a struggle but I am pushing…

I did get the flu shot. With the amount of germs that float through my house I think we have a new germ each week. Sadly I am not joking. I don't usually do the flu shot but since I get so sick while pg already I don't really need to worry about getting the flu. Other then that I am not planning anything else at the moment.

Still waiting to get in to the OB but best guess is a June 8th birthday. This is the 4th June birthday for us!! This will be the 6th baby. Total surprise. I am not a young one but God gives us what he wants us to have. We will work through it. I am actually excited after the shock wore off. I plan on making this the most…

glea- I have my first 5K Nov 17th. Thankfully it is the colorrun so I won't be as worried about time as much as having fun. Who knows how I will be feeling at that point but I am still going. I have been looking forward to it. I didn't start the couch to 5k program like I had planned though. I figured that might be a…

I am logging but I don't think of it as dieting. Although I admit it is hard to get out of the low calorie mind set. I think of it is as being healthy. I am going to talk to my OB when I finally get in about how much I need to eat. I am aiming more for the maintenance cals or so. It still isn't like I end up eating as much…

I have always just used the big body pillows but not ones made for being pg. The giant comfy ones you can find anywhere and are under $15.

Just got in 60 min walk. Slow, 20 min miles but still going. Aiming for 3-4 miles a day.

I am 5 weeks too. Or so I am guessing. I am tired. Food aversions and cravings but the sickness will be hitting in the next few weeks.

Hello, We just found out we are expecting. This will be our 4th June baby but our 6th child. I have been trying so hard to lose weight and am worried about gaining this go round. I am already big so.. I don't have easy babies and when I get sick I don't move as much. Crossing my fingers I can change that. First trimester…

Not sure but I am surprised. I am over weight and have some other issues. My doc told me slow and steady. Get off my tail and get moving. Eat better. I would get a second opinion.

That looks like a lot of fun. The ones close to me aren't until Sept or Oct.

I wish our area was more bike friendly. I won't walk on the side of the roads here let alone get on a bike with the wackadoos. I try to give people space and then pass when it is safe for us both. Many times the biker and I both get passed. Usually on a blind hill or curve to boot. I don't mind the bike people who you can…

Durham NC here.

I go to a special bra store and am so glad I had someone tell me about this place. I found it on accident looks for a nursing bra. This store is very good about fitting. They are trained. The owner is always in there when I am there. They do the measurements while you stand there in your bra only and then they help you put…

Hello, My best friend lives in Winston Salem. We meet up every few months since our daughters are best friends. :) We live in Durham and I would rather be anywhere else but here.. BUT we have a few more years to go until we can move somewhere else. Best of luck on your journey.

Durham here.. North. My daughter lives in Hillsborough now though.

I had mine out i Dec. It was really bad for me and because of that my recovery has taken way longer then I was told by the nurse when I was sent home. That said I didn't get a lot of post op instructions and my follow up wasn't very detailed either. My advice is to call and ask. Make sure you have a list of questions when…

I am. I decided I didn't have a choice in getting older but that I can at least look good while doing it.

I am out ladies. Go ahead and send your weights to the person in charge of the competition.
