Hey ladies! I've been reading all of the posts, but haven't been posting much. Too all of you ladies aiming for a 20lb total weight gain....kuddos to you! :wink: I'm already at 23lbs :noway: .....and only 26 weeks this thursday. I'm hoping I'll be one of those girls who gains most of it in the 2nd trimester & doesn't gain…

Hi all! I'm Heather....finally pregnant with my first, a boy, & due March 8th. Tomorrow I will be 24 weeks & loving it! :) I worked out every day prior to being pregnant, then stopped for a couple months (fear that the baby would fall out, ya know!? haha). Started back up again & trying to get more workouts in than…

24 weeks along tomorrow...

For my first trimester, I set mine to maintenence. I haven't changed it since. Also haven't been doing the greatest logging food. I think (for me) it would be hard to eat more than what my maintenence is at.....unless it's junk food ;) I figure, I eat when I'm hungry, so I'm not going to confuse myself w/ what "mode" to…

Absolutely LOVE mine! Have a Polar FT60 (w/ a chest strap). Wouldn't have it any other way.

Welcome Jenna! Don't you love that we can blame the baby for the foods we crave...okay, sometimes just plain want... :wink: Luna ~ Good luck painting! After going back to the store, they confirmed that it was right (I still think they screwed up). So I had to improvise. I didn't want to buy anymore paint (it's expensive!)…

MissConfidence ~ Everyone feels comfortable telling at different times. My family new from the very beginning (but they kept quiet) & we told my husband's family just after 9 weeks (we also had an ultrasound just prior to that). I always looked at it as "if a miscarriage happens & people know, you'll have to go back & tell…

Okay, so HOLY MOLY!!! I stepped on the scale this morning & I've gained a whopping 7 pounds in the last two weeks :noway: For a grand total of 19 pounds....Granted, I haven't pooped yet today & have been a little off (I think the baby is holding my poop hostage :laugh: ). Seriously though, I need to start logging every…
-
Mitsi ~ I also still have mine set to maintenence....but I think it's at something like 1800 calories? Which seems like a lot to me. I haven't been good at logging it lately though. Really need to get back into it! SV ~ I swore I felt something at 15 weeks. Then for sure at 16 weeks & ever since. The last couple weeks, he…

Kristy ~ Love your comment about if you were able to see over your boobs! :laugh: I have no doubt that you would've been able to see your tummy move. There have been several times even just using the fetal doppler that the doppler moved b/c he kicked it! (Guess he didn't want to be disturbed) :bigsmile: As for the calorie…
-
Better Balance ~ It was ridiculous how much searching I did for furniture! I just couldn't decide & didn't know what was the "right" amount to spend. The stuff I ordered from JCPenny's beat out all the other prices (for 2 dressers & a crib). Seemed to have good reviews - the backs are the veneer wood (but I don't think…
-
Rayna ~ I ended up getting the furniture from JC Penny's. It was the set I kept going back to after searching & searching. It was on sale & I got an additional 20% off. Here's the set if you can open the link:…
-
Well...I finally did it - ordered the nursery furniture & bedding. I kept searching & searching, but went back to the same stuff every time. Now I can't wait to get the room painted & everything in it! :)
-
Just dropping in quick to let you all know we'll be having a boy! :) He is big & healthy!!! Time to start planning everything now, yay!
-
I haven't posted in here in a while....but I've been stalking ;) Heather ~ Love the chandelier.....the whole room looks great of course, but the chandelier is my favorite!!! I was going to go that route if it's a girl as well. I've been doing zumba twice a week lately. Last night I think I pushed it a bit.....it's so hard…
-
jchecca ~ So exciting to feel it on the outside, right!? I just felt it on the outside for the first time this morning. Such a weird feeling, but still pretty cool! :smile: heather & Better Balance ~ Thanks for the heartrate info. I did zumba last night for the first time since before pregnancy & I had to keep telling…
-
So I know this type of question has been posted before & I do know all of the logical answers....but I'm just curious as to where YOU are at with your heart rate when working out....???
-
Rayna ~ As far as baby showers go, my sister is throwing me one on Jan 14th & my sister in laws are throwing me one sometime either the end of Jan or beginning of February. (My due date is March 8th). I didn't want one too close to the due date.....just in case. And it gives ya time to get everything you need, etc. Not to…
-
I realize there's a huge range of what people will be spending on furniture...I'm just curious & trying to make some sort of decision sooner than later :)
-
Ash ~ There is a Burlington Coat Factory where you're going...I would definitely check that place out for maternity clothes. Otherwise Kohls, Target, TJMaxx are other options...
-
Okay, so back to the nursery furniture....I want to know if I'm completely out of line or not. My sister is also the bargain hunter & I think (thought) that I was too. So I found a set (nice convertible crib, 4-5' long dresser & 3' long dresser/nightable) for $750 (shipping of $130 not included) from JCPenny's. I'm also…
-
What/where has everyone gotten for nursery furniture??? I've been thinking about a set from JCPenny's, but keep going back & forth about it....
-
svgarcia~ I haven't really had issues w/ constipation...there has been a day or two that I didn't go, but otherwise I've been pretty regular. My cure-all is kiwi though.....Eat a few of those & you'll be "good to go" a couple hours later...
-
jchecca ~ They do have great prices (on clothes)...but I would definitely try on there vs. bringing them home to try b/c I hear their return policy is just an in-store credit vs. getting your money back...which sucks.
-
Morning ladies! For all of you that are searching for maternity pants & just can't find any that are quite right.....if you have a Burlington Coat Factory store, I suggest checking that out. I went the other day & got 3 pairs for all under $15 per pair. They fit awesome & are actually cute (w/o paying a fortune). The ones…
-
My breakfast was pretty consistan: Oatmeal, strawberries or raspberries....& oj or grape juice. I've been bored w/ that (and I need more strawberries in the house), so I've switched to cereal (corn pops have been awesome lately).
-
Kristy ~ Get used to the bloody noses. I think I've had about 5 so far. They don't seem to want to stop once they get going either, looks like a blood bath after! Last night was the lightest one it's been. No fun! Are you from Wisconsin!? (me too....if it doesn't say it in my profile)...
-
I was wondering why there weren't any posts in the other thread lately...now I know why...it's October!!! ;)
-
I'm also a 20 week ultrasound to find out the gender. Anyone do the Intelligender test??? I just did it this morning & if it's correct, looks like we'll be having a boy....but 2½ weeks left until it's confirmed (not that I'm counting) ;)
-
Holly ~ WOW! I'm super duper impressed that that's your 3 week post delivery picture! Amazing. Just amazing! You look great!
