Just had my 36 week appointment today, and my doctor actually measured me at 37 1/2 so maybe I spoke too soon and he may actually decide to be an October baby after all. :p We shall see! When he said "Maybe he'll be here in a week or two!" I did have a few moments of panic, but I think we're mostly as prepared as we can be…

Suzanne - funny you mention the hair because I showed my husband a baby that popped out with so much hair and we were jokingly talking about our baby having a full BODY of hair seeing as how my family has Scandinavian roots and his family is full of Germans. And we both have dark hair. That'll be a fun thing to look out…

Been a couple weeks since I've checked in, and glad everyone's doing okay! I'm almost 36 weeks (Tuesday) and I've been struggling a bit the past couple weeks. The weather has been weird - hot one day and cold the next - and it's making me feel super icky. On top of that, I'm stress eating a bit and my pubic bone feels like…

Congrats Katie! Glad everything went well, and what a lovely name you picked! I'm coming down with some kind of icky "almost fall" sickness. I keep being hot and cold and I think it's affecting me and my poor joints. Also I'm getting more and more anxious as the time goes on (which I assume is normal). I'll be 34 weeks on…

I ended up going to an after hours clinic to check my hives last week while they were super bad, and the doctor thought they might just be insect bites. I opted to not treat them with anything he prescribed me to see what they would do, and they're basically all gone now. So my misery level has gone down a bit since my…

My gain has been a bit disappointing, but my doctor honestly has not mentioned my weight being a problem once so I guess until they tell me I'm doing poorly to not stress too much. All my lab work has been great so far, so hopefully I don't get too many more of these massive 4 pound spikes! SW: 211 8 weeks: 211.4 9 weeks:…

Helen, congrats! Hope you and the little one are home safe and sound soon! I must have jinxed myself by constantly saying nothing much was wrong, cause I have broken out in massive hive-like bumps all over my body (minus face). Waiting on a call back from my doctor, but they keep telling me not to worry too much unless I…

I'm currently 30 weeks+4 days and feel like I'm in full on nesting mode. I'm also getting slightly anxious about how close it's getting! Being a first time parent, I assume everyone gets nervous so I'm just trying to stop my brain from panicking too much. :p Was measuring fine and heartbeat was good at my 30 week…

Hi everyone! I participated in the last Christmas weight loss challenge (and one more after that) before I got pregnant. I'm joining the group to keep up with you guys, but my due date isn't until November 3rd-ish, so I will hopefully be able to lose a little weight before Christmas once I recover. My pre-pregnancy weight…

Haha, as this is my first baby, I have no prior experience with personality. BUT, you basically just described what my little guy is doing this whole time. I always jump and tell my husband that he likes to SWAT kick me or that he's getting an early start on training for the Olympic gymnastic team. I certainly hope that…

I unfortunately cut out coffee (which is driving me crazy, honestly)! Wasn't much of an alcohol drinker or fish/seafood eater before so that was no problem. I had a sweet tooth before, but it's basically been a million times worse since pregnant, and all I want are sweets and carbs. I did cut out protein shake mixes, but I…

Congrats on your glucose test, Rosie! Hope you have fun at the pre-season game!

I'm trying to overhaul my diet, cause my eating has been awful in the second trimester. I hope my body calms down and that was just a thing my body wanted for the second trimester alone and will give me a break for the 3rd so I don't gain too much weight (I'm currently up at 19 pounds gained, and based on my BMI, my range…

My eating has also been out of control. I don't know what's going on. I'm a bit of an emotional eater anyway (which is why I got up to close to 300 pounds anyway!) and it seems like I've fallen back on old habits now that I'm pregnant because I always feel icky and tired. My nights consist of me getting up maybe every 30…

I will be taking my glucose test at some point in the next week or so (just sometime before the 12th). Got my drink ready for me in the fridge for when I wanna go in. Good luck on your tests, ladies!

Almost done with Fool Moon by Jim Butcher (book #2 of the Dresden Files)

Pregnant with my first, and it's a little boy so the bento boxes I picked out were totally for me cause I'm a child. :D Still will be nice for packing snacks and stuff in the car! The plastic one with the four characters on it has some really nice snap locks to close it. I'll have to test to see how well it holds liquids…

I just took a trip to Japan a couple weeks ago and came back with a few bento boxes and various odds and ends from Daiso for making them. I'm currently pregnant and too exhausted to do anything so I haven't played around with stuff yet, but maybe I can use this thread for motivation to pick it back up.

I can't vouch for this being the main reason, but I was getting fertility work up done because we had been TTC for 2 years with no luck. Decided for myself that I wanted to lose weight on the off chance I did get pregnant so that I could be as healthy as I could be. I had started my weight loss journey about 3 months…

I also started running heavy at 282 (I'm 5'6"). I started off very slowly and only ran in short bursts (1-2 minutes) and just gradually kept adding more time to my nonstop running as I adjusted. When I first started, everything was making me gasp and hurt my lungs, but all that eventually went away and I no longer felt…
-
Ughh I hope it's wrong, but I'm eating like a garbage disposal and the past week or so shows it maybe. But seriously, I hope that 5.4lbs in a week isn't accurate but it's happened before in my pregnancy and I'm worried it's a trend! :D SW: 211 8 weeks: 211.4 9 weeks: 212 11 weeks: 208.2 12 weeks: 211.2 13 weeks: 208.8 14…

@JustAnotherGirlSuzanne Haha, I'm in the same boat. I don't think I have any glow. Everyone keeps saying, "Oh, I bet none of your hair is falling out!" and I'm like nope, still losing hair. And my face is growing noticeable hair in weird places. Thanks, baby! :D

5'6" and currently sitting around ~220 (but currently pregnant). Highest weight was about 282, lowest weight was about 211. I hope to get back to losing weight eventually after pregnancy and I love seeing updates from people!

@ladyjaye25 - hi there and congrats on the boy! Seems like a lot of us are having boys. :)

I wish I could remember what popped up when this occurred because I laughed so hard, I had to stop running. It was something super awful. :D
-
I'm almost 25 weeks and have had a few things crop up over the past month or so. I'm hardly sleeping because I'm getting awful leg cramps (not to mention, it's SO HOT!!!) and also have to get up 2-5 times a night for the bathroom. :p I've kind of fallen back into stress eating like before I started my lifestyle change, and…

I'm also due in November with my first baby (they still have me pegged around November 3rd - which is ONE day after my dad's birthday, and ONE day before my husband's birthday). We shall see what happens! :)
