I so hope it is not colic! I have been worried that I would have a colicky baby ever since I found out I was pregnant. One of my girlfriends had a baby who cried for 3 months and her and her husband barely survived it without getting a divorce. Ugh. I have been trying to figure out if it was something I ate and realized…

Oh Kristin, I forgot to ask you how the treadmill is?

Hi Girls! I almost said good morning and then looked at the clock; yikes! Where do the days go?? Jess you totally stole my thunder with your 7 lbs loss haha!! I lost 1 lb so far; better than nada! Amelia screamed all night last night but luckily I had hit the gym before dinner. I am going pretty good with cals I think but…

Hi Girls!! Well, I had a heck of a day. My little one was up half the night and only napped in 15 minute increments all day and when she was awake she was fussy. Needless to say I did not get to work out but did not exceed my calories. I finally got a shower in just now at 10pm because hubby is finally home. Ugh. I do love…

Hello Girls!! Well, today is day number 2 for me. Yesterday I ate within my cals but did not work out at all. I will be hitting the gym tonight to ride the stationary bike and elliptical. I plan to weigh in every Tuesday but may have to take a sneak peak tonight because I think I have been loosing some water weight since I…

Just went back and read all the posts; here is my rundown: My name is Cris and I am 35 years old. I have been married 2 years and have a 4 week old daughter, a 10 year old step son (every other weekend) a large boxer dog (my baby before the baby), a hand me down cat, and a hamster. I work full time for a health care…

Hi Girls! Would like to join your group please :happy: I was on the prego forum with Kristin and then had my little one 4.5 weeks ago and am ready to shed all the lbs I gained with the pregnancy plus those I needed to loose when I found out I was pregnant (only had 7 lbs left to go at that point!!). I will be taking it…

Good Morning Girls!! Just wanted to say how excited I am for Tami and Kristin!! Your pregnancies sure have gone by fast from an outsiders perspective! I just cannot believe you are both so close now! Yeah!!!! Hugs!!! -C

alapointe - the good hormone levels are reassuring; I am very glad to hear that. And morning sickness may be rough but that is a comforting sign that all is well too! I had a day of bleeding after over working out in my first trimester and with rest it stopped. Keep us posted on your next ultrasound. K - you have already…

Good Morning everyone!!! K - how is the rash? Poor thing; I hope the cream and meds are helping!! Try not to stress over day care; it will work out just fine and you have lots of time to make new arrangements. Alapointe - have you been in for an ultrasound since the bleeding started or had your hormone levels checked to…

Morning!! K - So sorry to hear you are home feeling bad :(. Hope you are back on your feet soon! I agree with the girls, that baby is going to be an early one! Tami - Love the name!!! I am totally down for the aftermath challenge!! I think I will need all the support possible. Femm - Take it easy girl! Pregnancy is not the…

Hello Lovelies!! Holy Cow K!! You are doing awesome!! Anytime now huh!!! Way too exciting! Welcome Alapointe!! Congrats on the pregnancy & glad to have you here. Femm - I was a royal *kitten* too for the first 16 weeks. My husband would say he wanted the old me back and I would tell him I did too! It stunk. BUT... it goes…

When I did Wii fit I was working out 5 days a week and in really great shape and the stupid thing told me I had the fitness age of a 75 year old! WTF?! I will never forgive it for that. They are mean, you just have to ignore it.

Good Morning!!! Happy hump day! I am already hoping the weekend comes fast to rescue me from work and waking up to the alarm clock. Bowling ball!!? Yikes! No wonder woman start getting antsy to get the baby out of them in the 3rd; that sounds difficult!! I have had some lovely mood swings to go along with the tired the…

JJ- Congrats!!! What a relief!! Now you can just be excited about your pregnancy and not have to worry! Yeah!!! K - You are hilarious with your nesting!! Your house must just be sparkling by now! Yeah for 37 weeks!! Anytime now!!! Same old same old for me. Super busy at work. Baby must be growing again because I am…

Hi Everyone!!!!! K - Holy Cow! You are in the home stretch!!!! What will we all do when you and Tam aren't prego anymore?! You have to still check in about the day to days of having a new baby! I really want a boy and so does my step son and my hubby really wants a girl so either way we will be happy in this house! I will…

Thanks for teh support ladies!! We are keeping the sex surprise (FUN!!) :happy:

Good Morning Girls!! How are you all doing? jjohnson - any new updates; have you had your biopsy? Thinking of you... K - love the nursery!! Super cute, love the colors!! I had my ultrasound on Tuesday at 21 weeks and they found I have SUA (single umbilical artery). This condition could be a sign of birth defects or could…

LOVE THE PICS!!!!!!!!!! You look GREAT!!! No stretch marks either so far it looks like and that is AWESOME!!! We are signed up for those classes 1 hour a week for 5 weeks so I sure hope I have not read up enough!! Did you do a breast feeding class as well? Hope you get to feeling better!!

Good Morning Ladies!! Femmerides - Congrats on the ultrasound!! I am so happy to hear all is well and you have piece of mind now! Do you get to have another ultrasound in a couple weeks as well? I cannot decide if I will be doing a epidural or not. I have heard multiple horror stories and am frankly scared to death of it…

Good Morning Girls!! Happy Friday! I am so relieved the weekend is almost here and for once this summer my hubby and I have no plans with anyone! We are going to rearrange our bedrooms & office this weekend to make a room for the baby and I am really excited! One of my friends is giving me a crib and changing table so I…

K - I like the Hotslings better because it looks to sit up higher and provide better support for the baby and less strain on your neck and shoulders. I am having a hard time deciding between a sling and a traditional front/back carrier. I almost think I may register for 1 and buy the other. I like that Dad can use the…

The baby started kicking lots this afternoon so i must have just missed the memo on the new change in schedule lol! Thank you all for the comforting words! K - how did you make out at your shower? Do you have everything you need now? I do not like to take anything either so I agree with the rest vs Tylenol. I have a…

Good Morning Girls!! Boy K & Tam, you to are making me nervous about the backaches to come! They sound terrrible! Does stretching help or Tylenol? I noticed yesterday that my little one was not being as active as normal so I am feeling nervous. Right now for instance is usually a really active kicking time but not much is…

Tam - I just have to say that I would like to sock your ex right now. Sorry for being so blunt but it makes me furious that he is so selfish as to let the mother of his child and soon to be second child have to worry about where to stay etc while he sits back amongst all your stuff taking his sweet time to find a new…

Congrats femmrides! I bet you are healthy in ways you no longer even notice this time as compared to your last pregnancy, plus you have boosted your metabolism by all the running you were doing. I gave into many many craving in my first trimester and had a an initial weight gain that I was not pleased with but now in my…

Good Morning Girls! I am so happy it is Friday!! I just hope this day goes by fast. I really need some rest and have way to hectic of a work week. K - I cannot believe your shower is here! You must be so excited!!! You'll have to tell us all about it on Monday. I am starting to think about mine already and think I should…

Wow you two!! You are going to have babies soon!! Sept 4 is right around the corner!!! How exciting! Seems like it was just a couple weeks ago I even joined this group and you were only like 18 weeks. Sure does fly by!! Glad to hear you had really low kicks too K. It is always reassuring to know that someone else…

Good Morning girls!! I had a death in my family last Thursday and have been with them up until today. Now I am back at work an exhausted! I should have taken 1 extra day for recovery as I did not sleep much and just worked my tail off to help my family prepare for the funeral and the guest coming over after, ugh. Am OK…

My pregnancy has been really difficult too and I also experience horrible food aversions and still have weird craving that change daily. There was a 4 week stretch in the 1st trimester were just thinking about most foods made me ill and of course what ever I had bought at the grocery store for the week wasn't anything I…
