That's funny. I've always called it a weedwacker or weedeater also.

So I failed the exercise challenge. I just had so much going on last week. Friday: I walked for 48 minutes and cleaned for 30, I burned 459 cal. Saturday: I walked for 46 minutes and burned 294 cal. So, I have become a huge fan of Amazon. You can sign up for Amazon Mom, and now I get free 2nd day shipping on everything for…

Happy Mother's Day to all of you beautiful women!! Also, I am 30 weeks today!! For some reason, I feel like that is a big milestone. Wow, time is getting closer. I dreamed about my little girl last night, it was awesome.

Thanks! :)

Aw Danielle! I love the pictures!!! So cute! Congrats again.

Danielle! Yay, it finally came! I am so excited for you! A little boy is awesome, congrats. Ron: I love the name Kathryn, it's always been on my list of names I really like. Thank you for your kind words Lynn and AnneElise. I know overall I am not doing bad with weight gain. I was just a bit discouraged because I was up…

good insight, thank you for that. :)

Ah, I am exhausted. When we hit a certain goal money-wise at work we have company luncheons. I always help prepare the food and and get it ready. Being on my feet all morning and cooking has made the rest of the work day hard. I usually love helping with the luncheons, but blahhh! I just want to go home and sleep now. Oh…

Way to go Brittony! I was sitting here thinking I am such a bum because I haven't worked out once yet this week. I keep planning to, and then life happens, I get home too late and I am just tired. I know excuses, but way to go on your end you are doing great!

Ahh, I am finally expirencing the itchy belly that many of you have mentioned on here! Let's just say I am not a fan. :tongue: I just want to sit here and scratch!

I started to show a little at 17 weeks.

So the massage was awesome and very relaxing. I've always been uncomfortable with people seeing any part of my body. But they are pretty discreet and I just close my eyes and enjoy. What was really nice is I told her I had some hip pain and she really put some effort massage my hips, and she did that part with the sheet…

Good job everyone on your exercise challenge! Also, thanks to everyone who had nice comments on my picture. AnneElise: I hope your power returns soon! That would be super frustrating. I can’t wait to see pictures of your nursery though. Good job on the exercise challenge! Way to stick with it. I haven’t really thought…

So my husband gave me a pass to go get an hour prenatal massage! I am going tomorrow after work. I am so excited! I have heard great things about them, and I am just starting to feel less comfortable with my body, more achy and such! It will supposably help me sleep better too. Anyway, I am super excited.

Welcome all the newcomers and congratulations on your pregnancy! Julie, I love your nursery! It is super cute! I didn't get my 4 exercise days in this past week. Wed. I walked for 50 minutes and Saturday I did the elliptical for an hour. Ouch, I need to step it up this week. Hopefully I'll have time. In the next 2 weeks I…

Keep up the good work!!!

Annabelle, the circus sounds way fun. I hope you enjoy! I have my glucose test today... wish me luck! I am glad I also get an ultrasound so that will make getting poked more worth it. :)

Thanks all for the comments on 3rd tri, I had just heard so many different things. Plus I am anxious to say I am in the 3rd tri. :)

Yay, I just noticed my ticker is under 100 days! :laugh: Question, is the third trimester when you enter 26 weeks, or when you finish 26 weeks?

So, I still do not have Internet in my house, so I am way behind on reading posts. I just skimmed through briefly, so I hope you are all doing well, and I hope you all had a great weekend. Lynn and Brittony I love your new pictures. Very cute! Bethe, congrats on baby Wade! How exciting! As for me, it was a good weekend,…

Welcome Shawna! We are excited to have you a part of this group. :smile: AnneElise: :ohwell: I am so sorry about your MS. I can only imagine how tiresome it would get over time. I actually lost my breakfast this morning. It's been the first time in weeks. But I can't imagine dealing with it daily still. Keep your chin up.…

Yay Ron, I am glad your apt went well. And 4 lbs. is not bad at all! You are doing great girl! AnneElise- boo about the ms. That is the pits! I have been getting really nautious again, but I haven't thrown up for awhile. I hope that you will find relief soon! Annabelle, that is awesome you lost 2 lbs. I bet that made you…

Lynn, I am glad your class went well. It is nice that she took the time go over things and to also include your husband. I think that is important also. So, we are officially moved in. I am so thankful for all the help I had. It made the process go by pretty fast. Plus I didn't have to do too much because no one would let…

Ron, is it migraines? If it is, I got them so bad at the beginning of my pregnancy. Nothing worked, not even the loretab the dr. prescribed. Then I read that magnesium helps with migraines. So I take a 200 mg. magnesium tablet everyday and I haven't had a single migraine for two months now! Also, I hear staying properly…

Ron, your new picture is super cute. :) So has anyone ever woke up in the middle of the night starving? I have never done that until last night. I woke up at 3:30 and I could not go back to sleep because my stomach was growling so ferociously . I finally got up and ate a Luna protein bar. I guess the cereal for dinner…

So there is a 40% chance of raining while we move...:grumble: Please send prayers this way that it will at least wait till we are finished. :ohwell: Thanks! :smile:

There were some issues with paperwork last week, so we were unable to move in over the weekend. But today is the big move in day! I am super excited! But when thinking about how much more I have to do, it already makes me tired. :) I spent three hours packing last night, and it wore me right now. Now I get to unpack it…

Good morning everyone. Happy Monday. I made my exercise challenge last week. Monday: 30 min treadmill Tuesday: 55 min elliptical Wednesday: 45 min water aerobics Thursday: 62 min treadmill Plus there were two days I spent packing and pushing boxes around, that worked up a sweat. :)

Oh my! Julie!! I am so sorry. That is horrible. My heart breaks for you and your family. I will pray for you and your family. I don't even know what else to say, I just feel so bad. Take care of yourself at this time!
