Pregnant

[Sashie]

I just wanted to post what was going on with me lol. I had been sick for awhile, thought it was just the flu as I've had a bug for awhile now. Kids get it, I get it, we pass it back so on and so forth lol. I've been feeling real sick to my stomach but nothing unsual. My tummy kept feeling bloated, I kept working my abs and still no change, food just didn't seem appealing, and what is this.. my boobs got a little bigger, but no weight gain. hmmmm. I decided to take a pregnancy test. 2 lines, one you could hardly see... no can't be. Must be a faulty test lol. Went into medical, had them do a blood test and found out on monday. Hubby came home off the ship, got to unwrap his anniversary present.. a small photo album, and a pair of booties.

This will be my third, im excited and am hoping for a girl (have 2 boys), but healthy is all im really concerned about. Bit depressed of course about the whole weight gain since I just reached goal not too long ago for the second time . I'm hoping that I dont end up on bedrest again or I might gain alot more then need be.

According to my missed visits of aunt flow, im about 10 weeks. Soup atm is a wonderful thing, and so are those almond thins.

Re: Pregnant

work with your doc and you shouldn't gain too much more then what your baby needs remember you only get one chance to grow her right but a life time to shed tany pounds you get in the process.

Re: Pregnant

Update: Few complications just as my second, I'm hoping they don't put me on bed rest again since hubby has a 3 mo. det uproaching. I'm having my ultrasound done Feb. 9th and I'm hoping to find out the sex (think pink!). My due date is June 21st, and I'm currently 17 weeks/125.5 lbs (about 7 pound gain). My maternity pants don't quiet fit yet, but my tops are keeping the high sitting baby warm. I had my first contraction at about 16 weeks and have stopped exercising for fear of early labor like my second one. Sitting around is driving me crazy!! I have a no lifting my (almost) 2y order (35ish lbs), a no sex order (omg I'm going to die!!), and will have my cervix re-measured next appointment (2 weeks) to see if any changes. I'm stressed about who's going to watch my kids if I end up in the hospital again, but I couldn't be any happier having another baby. My eating habits could be better, but they also could be worse. I'm trying to focus on whole grains, Lifetime Maint. phase, and portion control. I do admit however to giving into a few cravings (usually healthy but high carb foods such as a banana with some cheerios eeeeeek).

Gratz to all of you pregnant mommies! I hope you are having the time of your life with the growing little ones and enjoying every moment of it!

Re: Pregnant

So sorry about your complications, and hope the next doctor's appointment gives you better news. Also sorry about the no sex.... my hormones have been KILLER since I got preggo, and hubby is hesitant for fear of hurting baby! lol He "talked" to the baby yesterday by talking through my tummy...I couldn't sit still it tickled so bad! But I was grateful because he doesn't really talk much about us having another child, and I was worried he wasn't happy about it.

Re: Pregnant

awwww thats so cute. Hubby recently did the same but I know he wanted a third we were just debating wether or not it was going to happen and well.. it did so now the deciding is over haha. I hope your doing well yourself, and I too am thinking pink for you.

Re: Pregnant

Thank you! And me for you! Have you thought of any names yet? We had Emily Ann picked out for a girl, but now my husband changed it to Monica Ann. Also Isacc Gabriel if its a boy.

Re: Pregnant

Hubby likes Ethan or Jayden for a boy, and if its a girl Kaitlyn (so many ways to spell it) and Kattie. His mothers name is Catherine and those two names are "part of" her name. I myself am going to wait until the 9th to really get going on names. So many to choose from.
