Someone close to me said some really mean things about my weight gain.... even thought I just had his third baby 3 months before. it hurt. I decided I was going to prove that I can be a healthy fit mom!

WOW!!! WOW!!!! thank you for sharing! that is amazing.

Looks like I am not alone. I am a working mom ( 8:30-5) with three boys three and under. I have an hour commute every morning and Afternoon. ATL traffic SUCKS!!!! I force my self to get up at 5am for my workouts 3x a week. October 2013, I made small changes at the office that will add up. I witched to a standing desk. I am…

I would love this, I need some accountability

In addition to all of the above. I use a standing desk. I do all kids of exercises while I wait on files to load or reports to run. My company would not invest in an expensive standing desk so I made my own. I bought a $14 coffee table from Wal-Mart, cut the legs to meet me height requirements. Wola! A standing desk. It…

My company just threw me the sweetest little shower!!! it was very unexpected and thoughtful!!! it is starting to feel very very real.

Congrats!!!!- reading birth stories make me cry!!! I am so happy everything went so smoothly and you have a new little guy!

Well bummer!! I did not go into labor with my last 2. I was induced with both at 42 weeks. They have this one scheduled for the 30th. I was hoping that maybe what I was feeling was something- anything happening to start labor on its own. I figured it was just nerves:( about to have three boys, three and under. I am feeling…

HELP!!!! can someone tell me what is going on.... I did not have any issues with this pregnancy or the other 2. everything was great and nothing weird happened. over the last three days I have felt ummmm weird. it is like I have constant butterflies in my stomach. I feel slightly nauseous. I don't feel sick, or bad it is…

Congrats!!! enjoy your new little life!

reading the delivery dreams has cracked me up. I never had dreams with any of the pregnancies. I kind of feeling left out:) I am however to a point where I want to eat everything in sight. I really have just started craving sweets. Not prego this is my biggest weakness. But this whole pregnancy so far I was doing GREAT.…

we will have a baby here in 7 weeks or sooner. I have done nothing for this little guy. After our last son, we thought we were done. I got rid of ALL of my baby stuff. I just do not have the motivation to get things ready for this one. I just keep telling myself all a baby REALLY needs is me and diapers:) I better go buy…

this weight gain has been much harder on me than my other two pregnancies. I gained 52 lbs with my first and 49 with my second, but did not seem to care. Family issues have made me notice every pound on the scale. It stinks because I just want to be happy and enjoy being prego... But that is not happening. I started this…

I have not posted here in a while. I can not believe I will have another infant in just 8 weeks. My home will be a mad house. Three boys three and under!!! what was I thinking:) I hope everyone is as excited as I am to have another little one so soon!

I use pampers at home! Huggies have always given me problems. the tabs rip off so easliy. when you are trying to rush and change a wiggle worm, you need a sturdy diaper. My boys are with my mom while I am at work and she uses Coscto brand on them during the day. the diaper has to be changed more offten becasuse it does not…

I gave in and let my husband find out the sex of the baby!!! we found out last week we are having our thrid boy. We are so excited. we are naming him Jonah. We do not have a middle name yet. we are thinking Jonah Kia or Lonah London.

ETA: Don't you hate that period when your regular clothes are too small, but maternity clothes aren't really necessary yet - and it's not obvious to the world that you are pregnant? [/quote] I hate that stage!!! I bought a few shirts to wear to the gym that say things like Rock this bump, and Prego and Proud. Just to let…

thanks for the tips and just of the record, my gain has been so little becasue I still had a ton of weight on from my last baby. I got prego when my last was only 6 months old. If I track from my pre-pregnancy weight before #2 I am up 9lbs. If I track from before baby #1 I am up 14lbs. but from #3 pregnancy it is only 3:)

random question- I wil be 14 wks tom. I have gained about 3 lbs so far. My belly is not that big yet. i still wear non-maternity clothes and sleep on my belly. Could I still wear a non maternity shaper? I want to wear a dress to the christmas party tonight but I need the shaper or the dress looks a mess. Could I hurt the…

Over the last few days it does not matter what I eat or how much I eat I am STARVING!!!! Not just grab a few almonds hungry, but i can't seem to eat enough stomach making noses in meetings hungry!!! I am eating protien and all of my calories if not more. WHAT GIVES

What style of jeans did you get. I so need a pair. My normal jeans are just not working anymore

If I had my way with this one I would name Boy= Legend Girl- Ezra

My boy is Silas!!!

Is it just me or does May seem right around the corner. I feel like I will blink and we will have another baby.... we have my hubby's bday, christmas, newyears, my little guys first bday in march, My oldest birhtday in April and then a baby in May!!! I swear it will be here in no time. I am not ready

I keep telling my self, You are having this baby right at the start of summer. You don't want to be huge all summer;)

Being sick while pregnant is the WORST!!. I know of nothing that you can take. But in addition to the things you listed. A humidifier really helped me. I used the vicks one. Also to help with my sore throat, I would put some honey on a spoon with Cinnamon and just eat it. or hot water, lemon and honey. I hope you feel…

watching the scale creep up is stressing me out. I started off this pregnancy 8lbs heaver than the last. I can not afford to gain as much weight as I did with the last 2:(

I am in. I will eat my veggies. ( I have been having such a hard time with this) I will exercise at least 3x a week. I have no energy, but I will force it. I will drink more water.

This is fun- My husband and I met at Banana Republic. He was working there and so was a friend of my sister. I was visiting my sister for my month break in school ( My siter was in GA and I was in LA) and was going to do some holiday work at the mall. Well I ended up doing holiday work at Banana. I will never forget our…

We did one with our first. We took a short flight from atlanta to West Palm Beach. It was so nice just to get your mind off of all the baby stuff that was about to happen. I was 32 weeks and all we did was hang out on the beach. We did not take one with the second. Way too much going on. and we will not with this one…
