Great news! So happy to hear! :)

I know its hard but do not give it a second thought. Your body is just saying that it needs the weight, especially if you are staying active and eating well. That little love inside of you is just doing his/her thing! With my first I was absolutely at 10lbs by 10-11 weeks. I gained close to 45-50lbs with my first…

Faughorn and others - I will be in for losing the baby weight after having my son. Would love the support of other mom's. I will say this though. Be kind to your bodies in the first month or so after giving birth. Everyone is different but I didn't allow myself to heal or rest the way I should after my first son and it…

Well I was at 1400 to 1600 bc I was throwing up all day long from 4 weeks to 13 weeks and the thought of food was horrible. HA! I throw back about 2100 calories easily these days!

My first son was planned. My second pregnancy was not planned. I was taking myself off of birth control so we could start trying at the end of this year. I was charting and apparently was off a week. Viola - I am pregnant with my second son due around the time we were going to start trying! :)

Hmmmm, interesting I am the opposite of most of you. In my first tri for both pregnancies I had no appetite but once the second tri hit I could throw back food all day and my stomach will still growl. HA! Schmoozie - def eat - but what helped me is upping my calories. I stayed steady at 1400-1600 calories my first tri but…

Hi friends - found out yesterday we are having another BOY! He is a shy little buddy and I need to go back to get a few more views but we are so excited, he looks perfect and is measuring right on time. I have gained exactly 10lbs, at almost 19 weeks I am totally cool with that. This is my second child and I look like I…

Drink a cup a day. I gave up coffee for my first until the end of my second trimester, I had one cup a day. It was glorious. Now I am pregnant with my second and except for 3 weeks when I had a lot of morning sickness I drink one cup a day. I am big on everything in moderation though so I say don't give it up. This is…

This is how I was with my first pregnancy. I was so hard on myself b.c. I worked so hard to lose the weight and while I wanted to be pregnant - the weight gain played with my mind. Let me tell you what helped me is going out to buy some maternity clothes. YES your regular clothes may still fit but part of the reason you…

This pregnancy has been so hard on me eating wise. With my first I ate like I normally did with a few extra bagels and ice cream towards the end! ;) This pregnancy NOTHING appeals to me. For breakfast I eat Kashi Go Lean Cereal and skim milk. I like it so I go with it. On weekends I try to eat eggs to get a little more…

With my first we told our immediate families right away, close friends around 8ish weeks, and everyone else after 12 weeks. With my second - I am 17 weeks and only immediate family and close friends know, we told them all including our parents around 8 weeks.. We have a few events in the next few weeks where we can tell…

I am in MA. With my son I got 12 weeks off (FMLA) - 6 weeks at 60% pay and the rest not paid. We saved up a full 3 months of my salary to be safe. It was hard to save and we ate a lot of PB and Jelly but in the end it helped so much b/c I had maternity leave over all of the holidays. We used the 6 weeks pay I received for…

I am due on October 27th! :)
