August Preggos!
 

WOW It's a new month already!!

I tried going without my unisom this weekend, saturday was okay...sunday was iffy and I could barely eat dinner. I'd think that at 22 weeks the morning sickness would be subsiding:(

Modkitten, Phoebe is an absolute doll!

Just checking in to see how everyone's doing!

craving blueberries like CRAZY Dh is going to have to pick up another container on his way home from work at this rate. At least they're on sale 2/5 for organic this week :p

Walked over 3 miles on tuesday and I'm still feeling it, my hips are so sore it's not even funny. I REALLY need to start up yoga again.

Hi girls , I have a full time job now , whit my gestional diabetes, I have to watch and count every single bit , that goes in to my mouth.
Yesterday I went to walmart to buy some staff from my list....I waiting on my baby shower.
how are you guys doing?

Hi ladies, I'm excited to be joining you! I am pregnant with my second child and nearing the end of the 1st trimester. I gained 65+ lbs with my son and refuse to let that happen again. I've found I'm really struggling this past week and decided to look for some online support. I'm looking forward to getting to know you all!

Welcome ThinBeforeThirty!!

Always glad to have a new pregnant woman in our group!

Thanks! I dragged myself to the gym this morning and jogged/walked 4 miles. I felt great afterwards and realized it is so worth it and so much better than an extra hour of sleep would have been. I need to keep it up. My next OB appointment is in 2 days and I'm a little nervous to see my official weight on the doctor's scale...

At what time during the pregnancy does someone have a baby shower, also who traditionally hosts?

With my first I had my baby shower in early December (due Jan) and my mom and grandma hosted it, then my dads family did one in mid december hosted by my Aunts.

This time around I'm planning a little get together gifts not requested in October (due Dec 7th). Since we're having another boy we don't need much, mostly a couple big things (double stroller, carseat for DS, and cloth diapers). So we're going to ask if people don't want to give a gift, but don't want to do gift cards or cloth diapers that they make a donation to the childrens home society of disposable diapers or clothes instead.

I had my baby shower(s) in October, due in December. My cousin and mom hosted one (they were my "baby people", there all through labor and delivery and my closest friends during my pregnancy) and my aunt and a family friend hosted the other. I had two because I lived in a different state for several years and my family and friends there requested one. I wasn't complaining! :)

MeganBeth - I love blueberries, too! Both times I've been pregnant, I've craved EVERYTHING blueberry.

Thank you for the replies, I think my mom plans to host one. However I am due on Feb. 2 so with all the holidays we were thinking late oct. early nov. I was not sure if that was too early. I find out the sex in Sept.

I don't think it's too early, necessarily. Although once I had my baby showers I started getting really impatient for Caleb to get here so still having months to go would have been hard. I got all of the cute stuff and I wanted to use it right away!

Hey!

Had my 20-week check up yesterday. They had to check me for GD because the baby's stomach measures 1 week larger than her head. Everything checked out fine, so DR said we'll just have to keep a watch on it. Why do they tell you stuff like that--like we don't worry enough already....

My next appt. is Sept. 16th, 24 weeks!

Hi ladies,

I hope that everyone is doing well and feeling great.

I am still around, but extrememly busy getting ready for back to school and taking care of 3 kids. Thank you all for the positive thoughts and well wishes. I am starting to feel better now that the all day icky feeling is going away. I am still waiting for that 2nd trimester burst of energy.

I have my 16 week apt on Monday and they are always fun to be able to hear the baby.

Mod - she is just beautiful. I can't beileve she is getting so big. Time sure flies...I can remember when you found out you were pregnant. Does she have red hair?

We will be on team surprise again this time. We didn't find out what we were having with Johanthon and it was so much fun. Madie is really rooting for a baby sister and of course Gavin wants another baby brother. So at least one of them will get what they want. Joe and I just want a healthy baby although it would be nice to level out the testosterone in the house.

I hope everyone has a great week and now that the kids are back in school and into a routine hopefully I will have more time to stay caught up with all you ladies.

TTFN

Modkitten - she just gets cuter and cuter!

LovinLife, I'm glad to hear that your morning sickness is gone. That was one of the hardest parts for me. I'm crossing my fingers for your burst of energy to arrive soon! :)

Awww she's precious!!

I'm having a lot of pressure and BH in my pelvis. I talked to my friend who is a doula and she said it sounds like little man is still breach (not a problem yet at least). But man...this pressure is KILLING me.

I hope to get in to see a chiropractor in October (we only get 3 visits per year on our insurance), and I've found 2 who take my ins that are webster certified just in case.

I have my GD test monday too blah so yeah i'm rambling!

You are not the only one! So, the breach baby is what causes that? I've been trying to figure it out--the PRESSURE is terrible!

I'm going to ask my midwife tonight to be sure but from what my friend said that's what it sounds like. He's either turned around or stood up the last couple of days thankfully.

So not looking forward to my GD test tonight. I'm glad i get to just eat jelly beans but I'm not really a big jelly bean fan anymore. I just hope I pass I really really really don't want to have to go to the hospital to have this baby.

hi all! i'm extremely early in the process (week 4) so i might be getting ahead of myself, but wanted to say hi!

:welcome: and CONGRATS kuhljeanie!
