Good morning ladies! Sorry I have been MIA the past few days, Thursday night I got a horrid headache and it lasted for 3 days!! Arg! Then I was trying to juggle things, Friday was my Mother's Bday and then Sunday was Mother's Day, it was a crazy weekend, I am actually glad to be back to the normalcy of a work week!
Now, catch up time!
Imp--I hope everything went well this weekend for you! I am sure your family was thrilled! I too want to see some pretty maternity modelling photos featuring your lovely bump!! Oh--and June 29--that is awesome and a lucky date!! That happens to be the date of DH's and my 15th wedding anniversary, so I will be sending some of my happy thoughts your way for your scan hun!!
Grand--So glad to hear that your mom was ecstatic--and she has already sent you the most gorgeous little outfit! I hope work isn't tiring you out too much, make sure you get your rest!
Kizzy--Hope your scan goes well, can't wait to hear the news if we have another team pink or our first team blue! So excited!! Also, congratulations to your friend on such a lovely baby girl!
Angel--good for you in keeping in shape! I think that is wondeful! I'm finally off pelvic rest as of tomorrow, so I am hoping to get some more excercise in myself. I think it is wonderful that you are managing to keep so active through the hardest weeks (with m/s, etc.)
Bean--oh hun, I am so sorry to hear how m/s is beating you down as well as the bleeding gums, etc. Your little one is sure making sure you know he/she is there, aren't they? It will get better, I promise! Will keep you in my thoughts that relief comes sooner rather than later!
mum--
so excited you got the doppler and were able to hear the baby's heartbeat AND kicks! that is so neat! I can't wait to feel a kick for the first time! Also, grats on the bump showing!
chilli--hey hun! Sorry to hear about the UTI--those suck! I hope it has cleared up for you and you are feeling better!
Also, grats to you too on getting in some exercise with yoga!
for our healthy mommas!
milos--man, I wish I was craving chocolate, I am jealous! haha I LOVE chocolate and every time I eat it, my tummy gets upset! What the heck!? How can a child of mine not like chocolate? lol! So glad your m/s has gone away, that is awesome!! Now you can focus on the happy "glow" stage of pregnancy!!!
samb--so sorry that you are having a rough time sleeping. Have you tried a pregnancy pillow? Or just taking normal pillows and arranging them in a way that makes you able to lie comfortably? I know exactly what you mean by not finding a comfortable position--I love sleeping on my stomach, but that is out with pregnancy, and lying on my sides can drive me nuts (I actually managed to hurt my shoulder lying on my left side so much!) I have been making little forts out of my pillows on my side of the bed and that seems to be the only thing that is working for me. I will probably be getting a pregnancy pillow in the coming weeks.
Shell--
on such good news of a wonderful, healthy pregnancy! And grats to you too on having a bump at last!! I think that is so wonderful, and I am so happy for you!!! And it is great to have friends who can send maternity clothes to share, that saves a lot!
Also,
to you hun. I know how you are feeling with missing Baby C. My peanut should have been born just before easter, and it was a rough holiday to get through this year, even though I am overjoyed to be pregnant. I don't think I will ever go through Easter without taking a moment to reflect on my loss, even if it is just a quiet moment to myself. And that is ok--it is ok for you to be missing Baby C, even with Bo on the way--it shows what a loving, caring person you are and what a wonderful mother you are going to be for Bo! Much love and extra
to you right now hun!
AFM: Well, I told you about my nutty weekend already! Other than that, things are going pretty well. DH's parents actually sent me tulips on Friday saying Happy Mommy to Be Day!, which made me feel special! Physically, I am doing well other than that headache! I still get tired in the afternoons and crash at night (because I can't nap unless it's the weekend or a day off!), and still get a little queasy every now and then, but it is not every day anymore. My GD is pretty much under control. My daytime numbers are perfect (better than perfect most of the time), and my fasting level (am level) is almost where it needs to be--they upped my dosage last week and it is keeping me under 100 for sure, but sometimes I go over 90, so I'm guessing they may increase it just a bit more. We shall see!
16 weeks tomorrow(my ticker is 1 day off, they keep going back and forth between the 2 dates, so I'm just leaving it!)--I am hoping for a defineable bump soon!
Much love to all of you ladies! I hope you have a great week!
