The rock and play sleeper was the best thing ever! We never used it at night, but our daughter slept great in it during the day. We have a graco travel lite pack and play that we use for the first month or so before we transition to the crib.

Welcome and congrats on your baby girl!

@ehg87- Seems that way. lol I have my next appointment tomorrow morning. I really hope I've made some more progress, even though I would like the kid to be in there until next weekend. I'm done with work next Wednesday and I have a couple of special days planned for my kiddo before we move and the baby comes.

I was also Strep-B positive with my last one. Still waiting on my results from last week. There is a slim chance that I won't be positive this time around, which will be great. I'm due June 1st, but I really don't think I'm going to make it until then. These last few weeks are dragging. I hope all of you have your babies…

I have noticed that this group is pretty quiet. I keep thinking I'm going to go early this time around, but my luck will be that he/she will be late. Went on my due date with the last. Packing is going ok. I'm anxious to actually close on the other house (which is May 31st...BOO). Sleeping has been an issue for about a…

I cannot wait until I can get back to losing weight again...even though I am enjoying some foods that I normally wouldn't be eating while dieting. I just hope it doesn't take as long to come off as the first one. I didn't start losing weight until I stopped breastfeeding so I had a year of all of the extra baby weight. I'm…

This group has been very quiet lately. How is everyone doing? I have 26 days to go (yay) and today hasn't been so bad....yet. The aches and pains usually hit around mid afternoon after I've been running around. I woke up this morning in denial that there will be a baby soon. I've been in full blown panic mode the past few…

5 weeks and counting. Time is flying by now. I feel like I was just entering my 2nd Trimester. So far I feel pretty good most days unless I over-do it with cleaning/packing to move or if I don't drink enough water. I'm still not sleeping well at night no matter what I do. I last about 30 minutes on one side before…

No matter what I do (count calories, exercises, etc...) I gain on average a pound a week. :( I'm at about 36 pounds at 35 weeks. At least I haven't gained anything in the past 2 weeks. I'm already 6 pounds over what I wanted to gain with this pregnancy though, which completely bums me out. Everyone keeps telling me it's…

I'm almost 32 weeks and too scared to step on the scale. :( Last time I checked I was up 31 pounds and that was a week ago.

31w2d and feeling miserable. I can't sleep for more than an hour before I wake up with hip numbness/pain and have to switch sides. My weight gain seems to be out of control and I don't understand. :( I was trying to be positive about everything, but lately I just feel down about it. I was looking at the Easter pics from…

Am I the only one that doesn't have crazy/rude doctors that focus so much on weight gain? I've gained about 27 lbs at 29 weeks and none of the Dr's I see say anything about my weight gain. Of course, I feel like it's a lot, but I gained almost 40 with my first and I'm right on track to do the same with this one. I see so…

This is what I needed today. Thanks for sharing.

Feel free to add me as well. This is my 2nd and I'm 27 weeks.

26 lbs at 27 weeks I've have learned to accept that I will not stay under my original goal of 30 lbs and that's ok. It will just take a little longer to take the weight off. Doctors never say anything about my weight gain so instead of stressing I am going to enjoy certain foods that I will no longer be able to eat once I…

@rosy003- They told me it was a non-fasting test, but when I had it with my daughter it was early enough in the morning that I didn't eat breakfast before anyway. I think if you ate something at 6 you should be fine by 8:30. I'm not sure if it would affect the test or not. I almost got sick last time because I didn't eat…

Hello June Mamas! How is everyone doing? I have my dreaded glucose test on Thursday then I will have appointments every 2 weeks until May. Can't believe how fast time as flown by. 95 days and counting down. :)

I agree. Maintenance calories for now then add about 300 once you hit the 2nd Trimester.

This is exactly how I felt when I first found out I was pregnant. I had lost close to 50lbs before getting pregnant with my 2nd and watching the scale go up was very nerve racking for me. Now that I'm almost 27 weeks pregnant and have gained 26lbs I have tried to embrace the weight gain. It hasn't been easy, but I am not…

I feel the same way lately. No matter what I seem to eat or how much I eat I still feel hungry. I've gained more than I wanted for this pregnancy, but I refuse to starve myself or give up chocolate. :) I just try to make better choices.

How is everyone feeling these days? During the 1st Trimester I never got sick, but I would be extremely hungry, eat then about 15-30 minutes later I would feel like crap. My stomach would feel bloated and I would just feel horrible. That eventually went away and now that I am getting close to my 3rd Trimester I am feeling…

I'm too scared to even step on a scale anymore. I have been so hungry for the past couple of weeks. Last time I checked I was up 22 lbs at 24 weeks. :( My Dr. hasn't said anything to me yet.

It's been hard not stressing about gaining weight, but if I keep it under 40 total I will be happy. 5 W: -0.2 6 W: +0.7 7 W:+0.3 8 W: +0.6 9 W: +0.1 10 W: +0.7 11W: +0.5 12 W: +1.5 13 W: +1 14 W: +2.3 15 W: -2.3 16 W: +3 17 W: +2 18 W: +2.5 19 W: +0.4 20 W: +2 21 W: +3 22 W: +0.6 I've gained a lot over the past few weeks.…

I'm 20 weeks and have gained 16 lbs and my diary is an open. Feel free to add me!

Up about 16 lbs. :(

I'm almost 20 weeks and up about 16lbs. I keep fluctuating up and down 2-3 pounds. My weight gain happened really fast so I'm hoping now that I'm cutting out some carbs it will slow down. I also haven't been exercising as much since my stationary bike has been broken and I didn't have enough energy to do anything else. Now…

18w4d- Up 13.5 pounds

I needed this today. I have been stressing over the numbers going up for the past 4.5 months. It's hard seeing them going up when I have been working so hard to get them to go down. I'm just trying to eat healthy and give into my cravings once and awhile. I've lost the weight once, I can lose it again.

Feeling so much better now that I'm in my 2nd Trimester. Still feeling tired, but having a cold hasn't really helped with that. I'm hoping to hear my little bean's heartbeat at tomorrow's appointment. Couldn't hear it at my last one. Also hoping my dr doesn't yell at me for gaining 10 pounds in the past 14 weeks. I really…

Up 10 lbs at 14 weeks. :embarassed: I really hope this weight gain slows down.
