A home for EVERYONE!

[janelleybean]

Alright ladies, well I guess I better get ready for bed. It was nice chatting with all of you today.

Aspe, you keep me posted and PM if you need. You know I'll answer

Misty, I hope you're getting your freak on and it's not too uncomfortable.

Pissy Krissy, I hope you're fast asleep and on your way to feeling better.

HisGrace, I hope you're enjoying your pregnancy and treasuring every moment, even the not so great ones. I am so over the moon happy for you!

Nicky, thinking about you still.

Libby, hope you're doing well and you had success tonight with your daughter.

BaybeeEm, You're one awesome chick! Seriously, I'm so happy I met you.

Nicole, I hope you are enjoying your night and fast asleep. I hope that you can eat a bit more tomorrow as well.

I know there are probably more ladies to respond to, but I am just drawing a pregnancy blank at the moment. I apologize. to you all, and hope to hear from you in the morning.

Geezzeee why do i have to go to bed so early? i missed some good stuff last night!

Ok i get to be the first to ask....

Misty did you go all out crazy last night or did you just relieve some of Jakes stress? Like janelle i dont know how to say this with out sound weird but i hope Misty got her GROOVE back lol... oh and dont worry about the fluff in u/s it honeslty does not make that big of a difference take it from another fluffy girl!!!!!

Libby how did it go last night with your beautiful girl? I know she is young but i will tell you something NO one told me when little girls start to talk it sounds like a whine all the time! my daughter is now 4 1/2 and finally starting to use more a normal voice still drives me up the wall some days....oh and can we DRAMA QUEEN you would think someone taking something from her was the same as them stabbing her! just be prepared....but at the same time i love having my little girl to dress up and what not...boys are so much easier

So Janelle be careful what you wish for with wanting a girl. Although i must say Avarie was an awesome baby but then again Joshua was collic so any baby look amazing after that lol....how is lillte samuel doing? still being a sweety or has the devil shown up yet? Jamison was the best kid ever till he turned 3 almost a month ago now he is a terrorist and the devil chid all in one...i just want my sweet little boy who always listened to mommy back

Nicole how you feeling hun? dont let the stress of moving and what not get too ya too much remember to relax to!

Nicky still thinking about you everyday and praying for ya i hope everything is getting better!!!

Aspe i know its hard hun but please try to relax and just go with the flow at this point. my friend when she was trying just made sure to bd at least 3 times a week and got pregnant in 2 cycles..so just set your goal there or everyother day and you should be fine! Best lucky sweety cant wait to hear your BFP!

All the other ladies

afm got josh off to work now lay back down for a bit and get kids off to school...see you ladies in a few hours!

[MnJ]

On a side note Im 1/2 pound less than pre pregnancy weight this morning!

 

[Krissy485]

Misty so much to be excited about!!! is it wrong i am happy you had some great sex? lol oh and down a half pound yay! as long as you are drinking your water and eating like you should you are fine! the hormone hcg can make people loose weight while pregnant especially us fluffy girls. remember i only gained 12lbs with Jamison and he weighed 8lb 11oz and i had over 5lb in amniotic fluid lests not forger the extrablood placenta on and on...when i left the hospital i was down 2olb i weghed less than when i got pregnant and my dr were very happy with that. so you are on the right track lady!!! you go girl...

oh boo for upset tummy....maybe you....never mind i wont go there hehehehe

yes libby i hope your appt went well....i know you are busy and dont usually get on till work but please update us when you get a chance dont make me worry!!!

Ok hii guys!! Glad someone 'got some' last night, ha! My first time post baby was AWWWWFUL. Going to make an effort to do it more this pregnancy so that at least it hasn't been as long between 'sessions'! I have a dear friend due any day (and hasn't answered my text and email so maybe delivering??? EEK) and she had sex all throughout and even dtd to try and induce! That would have been an insane thought to me, haha.

Anyway, appt yesterday... so glad I temped and charted because based on LMP, I'm 7 weeks but I told the dr I thought baby might measure small since I believed I ovulated late. He asked how I knew that! Anyway, so glad I charted... baby did measure a week small so there was no heartbeat or fetal pole, sigh. Good thing is we get ANOTHER ultrasound in 2 weeks to take another look! Changed my due date to first week of June... will get a better idea next appt. Last pregnancy, he went by my LMP since baby never measured more than a week different from that date. But looks like this time we'll base the date off the baby's size early on instead.

 

[libbyam2003]

Oh and we went out to dinner last night with the In-laws, so no dinner disaster, phew. She is 'ok' at restaurants, esp if my MIL is with me because she helps feed Siena and entertain her so I can eat. Used to see no point in even going with just DH, but now seeing that ok maybe I can't eat but at least I don't have to cook! Ha. Anyway, was fun... FIL even got up and walked Siena around when she got restless. Went to Ruby Tuesday... which ended up being an awesome idea because they have that salad bar, so even though she wasn't a fan of the dinner order, she loved the veggies and ham and stuff from the salad bar. Score.

I just can't seem to get over the nickname "pissy krissy". Everytime I read it, I laugh.

Now, I am requesting a self centered moment here. MnJ says I need to get a ticker ... can some tell me the how? Pleaaaaase?! Thanks!

 

[libbyam2003]

eep lots of posting sorry... forgot to say... I guess I filled up on salad bc I was dying by the time the meal arrived... as in, completely full and felt like my stomach might pop! I was SUFFERIN rest of the night, grr! But, I wouldn't mind if that happens on the regular and I start eating less! BEcause yeah wouldn't mind losing a few or having less issues with gaining! Dr said he'd advise a 30 pound gain and he remembered last time I gained 40... and I was like um yeah vacation and holidays make it hard to be good! And also foods helps nausea! Only problem with male OB... he doesn't get it! Esp bc guys don't gain as easily as us normally anyway! Holidays are always a bad time for gaining for us chicas! Prego during the winter again, so will have to show a bit more restraint I guess.

Thanks for answering my question! Now this message stirs up another question. I am finding that I eat less. I am a tiny (in size not necessarily height) lady and have a ravishing appetite at times but now I find that significantly smaller portions are filling me up. I know I've been super bloated and that could be occupying space. What can I do about that Anyone can answer this question ... Libby don't think I am singling you out as the problem solver lol.

 

[MnJ]

Krissy - Thanks for your excitement for me! It was def a good day yesterday. I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders seeing the baby was ok. Gettin some always helps too! Hee hee

Libby - Wow u ovulated way late huh? At least u knew that and were prepared for the baby measuring earlier. I woulda freaked if no heartbeat or anything seen. I ovulated like 3 days later in cycle than "normal" but so far they wont give me a dude date from scans. Weird huh? Maybe when I go to the perinatologist on the 23rd they will be more detailed. Glad u had an easy night with your daughter and yay for helpful grandparents!

Baybee - You DEF need a ticker! Click on mine and it will take u to the website. Find on that site Pregnancy Tickers. Enter your info then it will give u 2 different lines of code to choose from. Use the bottom one. Copy it and paste it to your signature on your profile here. I know thats pretty generic instructions, if u need more specific let me know!

 

[MnJ]

Same here libby and baybee! Just a little food fills me up! But then its not too long before Im starving again! Like last night when we went to bed I was laying there reading (in my sated bliss heehee) and my stomach was growling big time! I had to get up and eat half a peanut butter sandwich. Apparently my little prune needed a bedtime snack! Unlike u girls, I need to NOT gain much as I am obese. So far at 10 weeks I havent gained any.

 

[libbyam2003]

I'd say lots of water to help keep things moving... and then calorie rich stuff like protein bars. I don't have that problem much, but I have heard other people suggest that! I do try to drink water because I might get cramps if I get dehydrated.

 

[libbyam2003]

Oh man I feel for you because it is so hard not to gain while prego.. dr said just 30 pounds and I looked at him like he was crazy... I already don't think I can do just 30!

I cant answer why you personally are filling up on way less. Maybe the baby just really enjoys what you are eating? Are you eating higher calorie foods? I always take pregnancy as a chance to eat as much as I can and get away with it but it isn't working that way so far this pregnancy. This baby wont let me eat grains except Cheerios or bread. There are only so many sandwiches I can try baby and the milk gives me horrendous gas!

 

[libbyam2003]

I'm not that far along yet, but yeah I haven't been eating more yet. Last time, I was sooo food conscious that it made me eat more.. like I was wanting to make sure baby got all sorts of really healthy stuff. Now, I'm just eating how I normally do, but splurging a bit here and there... which I need to stop for now!! About 5 pounds heavier than I like to be non-prego and shouldn't be gaining yet. Oops. I think I sorta just stop watching calories, which is what I normally do to not constantly gain weight, since I don't exercise anymore!

 

[janelleybean]

Good morning lovely ladies!!!

Misty, so happy you got some lovin' last night. I see you lost 1/2 lb because of it! Alright!!

Libby, so happy things go well for you when you go out to eat. It wasn't so easy with my son, but we've learned if we bring in his Elmo place mat and some activities he's the perfect child. *wink

Nicole, how are you feeling this morning? Better I hope.

Krissy, I've already forgotten all that you've said. But I do want a girl. Drama queen or not, I'll love her just as much. And Samuel will always be the perfect child. LOL

BaybeeEm, Still waiting on that ticker. *wink

As for the food question. I have the same problem. I get full really easily so I try to eat lots of snacks through out the day. I'm not sure why I get so full so easily, maybe it has to do with the position of my stomach now that everything is moving around? I do try to eat high calorie foods, but not all the time, only because I don't want to get in the habit and gain a bunch of weight. I never drank juice, but I drink 1 tall glass of OJ in the morning. I eat peanut butter toast, granola bars, veggies and humus, fruit, crackers, PB&J, Apples/celery with peanut butter, cereals, .....icecream (shhh) I'm really drawing a blank with the foods that I eat. I don't eat all of these on a daily basis. But I do snack a lot.
I will post a recipe later that is a good snack idea. It's made with honey, coconut, peanut butter, oatmeal, flax seed, chocolate chips... and I think that's about it. It's a sweet snack idea, but if you make it with dark chocolate chips then you don't have to feel so guilty eating it. =]

AFM- Had a dream last night I gave birth to a litter of bunnies. That's right BUNNIES! Exciting part? They were all pink! So, I'm taking that as a good sign. Also had a dream I was flying looking for a Pegasus. Who dreams of flying while looking for a flying horse?! I love pregnancy dreams. They always entertain me.

 

[Krissy485]

Oh relax on the food issue ladies!!! your babies are getting what they need and that is what matters here! so you gain more than what the dr tells you to but as long as your blood pressures and heart and oxygen levels are fine your not doing anything wrong! i hate how drs say well i want to go gain no more than this and is like you feel this pressure that if you gain more you will hurt your baby...not true..i mean shoot even jessica simpson admitted to gaining 50lbs although i think it was more...but whatever she had a happy healthy baby girl and that is what matters...ok off my soap box..just dotn want you girls to worry about those little things just be happy about those babies!!!

Libby-with both my boys i ovulated late and so i ended up with a light period, which is what tipped me off i was pregnant but a test would not come out positive till i was like 6 weeks and so dr kept wanting to go off LMP which would be to them the light bleeding i had but in the end they always went with the baby size bc the boys always measure right in between what my real LMP was and the light bleeding i had....if that makes sense lol and yay for great inlaws!

Misty all i can say is bowchickawoowowowoow lol

Good morning my lovely chatty ladies!!!!

AFM- OK I am pissed but then again not lol...long story short the insurance agent i had pissed me off so i called up my parents insurance agent who is in the same company and they told me to stop payment with the other and have my stuff transfered over and they would take care of it. my parents have gone to them for like 16yrs so they know my family...why didnt i go to them first ? serously the other said my insurance would go up $50 because i moved to the middle of no where!!! really???? all else fails my new agent said i can just be added to my moms since we live with her and that would gt us a great rate....oh i love my decision to move agents...and believe me that was the short story!!!

Ok, so I tried to eat an apple. Took two bites and it tasted rotten and bitter. his is a sweet apple, not supposed to taste bitter. And this apple was perfect, no bruises. Just my taste buds I guess. So now I am eating 3 pieces of pb & j on toast with ice water and baby seems to like it. Last night I found that baby likes Cheesy Dorritos too. Hmmm....strange child. DH is on 24-hr duty again and now the phone company is threatening to shut off service because we have a past due balance. So we will get behind on other utilities to catch partially up on our cell phones with this next paycheck. Ugh... Oh and this morning I emailed our landlord to tell him we wont be occupying the house as of December 1st. Hopefully he takes it okay and doesnt charge us extra for November.
