  • Spaghetti Squash is a really easy way to sub veggies for carbs. You can really make a variety of flavors and dishes with it too. This last week I baked a whole squash, then removed the flesh, part of it went into a "Tex Mex" like dish with tomatoes, corn, black beans, lime juice and cilantro. I topped it with light sour…

  • I hear you! After the initial weight loss from deliver and swelling, I began to gain weight too. It was hard, your life is so radically different afterwards and with the sleep deprivation, accumulating chores and whole new life to care for, eating healthy was not so high on my list. I also felt like "oh I'm breastfeeding…

  • I ordered the under armor 7" compression shorts and having been using them for about a month now, they work great and don't ride up! Thanks for all the recommendations!

  • Awesome thanks for all the replies. The riding up is uncomfortable and once during a race when I tried to ignore it I left with chaffing blisters on my thighs :neutral: I will look onto the under armor ones since so many of you recommended them! Thanks!

  • Well at least you have some record to base this one on! I feel like I have no idea when she will come! and that is what is driving me nuts! I did find out today that I am 1.5 cm dilated so hopefully it won't be too much longer :) Was the waiting for your first worse than for subsequent pregnancies?

  • Hey Meggwyn! Thanks for the encouragement! I was getting prenatal massages that felt wonderful, but haven't booked any recently mostly due to financial reasons. I sure hope I go into labor before my due date and I hope you do as well! Were you early with either of your other pregnancies?

  • Hi all, It's been awhile since I've posted on here! I ended up getting super swamped at work back in July and things are just now starting to calm down a bit! Tomorrow I will be 38 weeks (took a new pic today!) and for the most part I feel good most of the time. I Definitely am at the stage where I feel huge, and I feel…

  • I did the glucose tolerance test this morning and it wasn't so bad.. I wouldn't want to repeat it though. Basically I fasted from 7 pm to 8:50 am, breaking the fast with the dextrose lemon-lime drink. The drink tasted like over sweetened Gatorade and was slightly viscous. They took one blood draw right before the drink and…

  • LOL thanks.. though mostly I don't know how I am doing it either! The best explanation I can think of is that during my 1st trimester, even though I only really vomited a handful of times, my biggest symptoms was food aversions and nausea, so I really didn't want to eat. Once the morning sickness went away in the second…
