Almost There! - 3 Fat Chicks on a Diet Weight Loss Community

HoosierHeather · 02-23-2007, 08:35 PM

I haven't been on here in awhile... I guess because I have been trying to avoid thinking about my weight or the prospect of trying to lose again after the baby arrives.

I have been fortunate though, I am at nearly 35 weeks and have gained only 16lbs without much effort to prevent gaining. My eating has gotten kind of shabby the last couple of weeks and now, I have crippling heartburn that no antacid can tackle, and so the few things I do feel like eating aren't very healthy for me (or baby)

. It will be over soon though!

Just thought I'd check in, it's great to hear how everyone is doing! I am going to be heading down to stay with my family in 1 week (I live 2.5 hours north of them) and staying there til the baby is born. My last was born at 36 weeks and with only 4 months between that pregnancy and this one, it's very likely I will go early again. That's ok... as long as I have a HEALTHY baby, I don't care when she comes out!

Oh and we finally (like just a few days ago) decided on a name - Penelope Molly. Aaaah, what a relief!

Let us know when she arrives!

You're so close! It goes by fast, doesn't it?

I love, love, love the name Penelope. It's one of my favorites!

Best of luck to your for delivery and recovery. I hope everything goes well and can't wait to read your birth story

Good Luck! Not too long now.

joyofsix and aphil, where in IN are you? I'm in Bloomington (husband works for IU).

I live in Shelby County, near Indy. I am in Bloomington from time to time, for belly dance related events. I have performed at...I think it is called Waldron???

I'm about 30 mi south of Ft Wayne off 69. Used to live in Indy though.

I lived in the Fort Wayne area up until last year-in Whitley County. Do you live near Huntington?

joyofsix · 03-02-2007, 07:24 AM

Wow, small world. I live in Huntington County, way out at the southern tip. I have friends who live in Churabusco in Whitley Co.

The southern tip of Huntington County is near where I grew up. My grandfather lives in Van Buren, and I grew up in Grant County. My family is still there in the Sweetser and Marion areas.
