Csunshine men are the biggest wimps when they are ill lol. Im not limiting myself just trying to eat a bit more healthier than i did in my last pregnancy lol as i lived on coka cola and potato chips and well got loads of stretch marks im not being obsessive about my weight just trying to not gain too much more if i can help it lol i unfortunately really struggle to lose it afterwards lol hope your having a great friday

Im so glad the weekend is here i actually feel quite done in had a bit of a bad night i developed an upset stomach from something i had eaten so sorry tmi spent half my night in the bathroom and then that caused braxton hicks to start to lol so did not get loads of sleep but what i did get was good

 

[Csunshine013]

Even the most healthy diets that people follow whilst pg end in stretch marks I only gained 23lbs with my DD years ago and have those lovely marks too. I just say some women get them and some don't

Hope you have a lovely Friday and weekend! Hopefully your tummy doesn't play up with you all weekend!

DMN is your bag packed yet??!!!! - they do say that your body flushes out your bowels right before labor and you may feel like you have eaten something bad but it could be your body doing its natural thing... I hope not but you never know I would hate to hear that you were stressing out about packing rather than getting your butt to the hospital.. LOL... Just sayin...

West - my sex drive totally took a dive for the worse, we tried a couple of weeks ago and it was just sooo awkward for both of us.. I felt bad..

Kelly - Ive already gained 20 lbs and I was horrified but the drs say its great because Ive always been skinny my whole life - 115 lbs.. they think its great that I gain weight because if I dont then the baby will take all the nutrients that I have and its not much because there isnt much to take being so small... So dont worry about the #'s just make sure you eat healthy...

Csunshine - we are hooking up a second sub pump in the basement just incase the other one dies again.. We still have water coming in the basement its been running since Monday - that 5 days... we got soooooo much rain, thank god it wasnt snow we would of still been trapped in the house..

Im doing okay - same ol... Going to have corn beef and cabbage at a friends house tonight so that will be fun.. Still looking at paint swatches.. Going to get some samples soon so we can put them on the walls to see how they look... Fun Fun...

I hope everyone is doing good and having a great weekend!!!

dmn I so hear you on the heartburn situation! I thought I was going to be cool and stop on my lunch for a quick slice of pizza been paying for it all afternoon!

Melsue we have had both the pumps running now for at least a good 10 days. We are getting ready to have the surge here now this weekend so it should go down soon.

HOpe you all have a lovely weekend!

I am only worried about stretchies. I can deal with whatever weight gain but would like to keep it no more then 25 if I can by staying active and eating well (which I do sometimes and sometimes not) If I go over, I go over c'est la vie. If I get stretchies I'll Although my mum didn't get them and I have similar skin to hers, so far my skin isn't tight which is good I think.

I did not sleep well the last 2 nights thanks to DH so getting up for shift was hard. Now it's the weekend and I can sleep in. It's gorgeous out here! 15 degrees and sunny! Bring on spring.

oh I also found out my clinical instructor is PREGNANT! haha, not sure how far along, haven't really been able to ask.

Schooling in any other place that's different from here confuses me to!

 

[dmn1156]

Kelly i hope you dont get any stretchies like csunshine said some people get them some dont if you have good skin and are applying lotions you may well not

 

[westbrja]

Hey ladies! How are we? I'm good, just relaxing from work. It was a busy but good day.

I don't really care much about what I gain. The stretch marks that I got before don't bother me. I consider them a happy reminder of when I used to feel them inside of me. I've always heard if you can keep your skin well hydrated that will lessen the chance of stretchies. And yes sunshine you are right, nursing makes the weight fall off. That doesn't mean I wanna gain 60 lbs lol.

 

[Kelly9]

I hope not! Here's to hoping my moms genes pay off.

 

[wannabeamom]

hey guys how are you all?
i have been putting ester lauder cream on my tummy since i got my bfp and noticed 2 stretchies last week i think my skin just doesnt have must eslasticity in it

last night my sister in law told us she is pregnant, meaning her baby will be due in nov (ours in june)
while im totally happy for her i can help feeling that our baby will be pushed out a bit when hers arrives.
ours will be second grandchild for my parents and already we can see a difference in how they are with ours and hes not even here yet and he is going to be first grandchild for my husbands parents and then 5 months later they will be getting another one and they are they type of people who are always comparing
i guess im just worried that being that close in age he is going to be compared to his cousin all his life i think im just worrying too much???

eeek i think im stressing too much, my mil has never really liked me and im afraid that she will be the same with our baby

 

[dmn1156]

wannabe i know where your coming from when we visited my OH parents the other week all we got for 2 hours was your sister is doing this your sister is doing that and her kids are good and we see them 3 times a week they dont even bother to come see us maybe twice a year so in the end i stood up and said it's time to go got my sons bits together and left i hate comparisons and generally dont tolerate them it sounds harsh but i think it is the best way to be maybe next time she will think before she opens her mouth if you tell you OH your concernc maybe he can talk to his mum and say look treat them the same no comparisons and set it out from the off set. I think my OH mum knows she did my head in as she has not been in contact since and i just say well it goes to show where her loyalties and priorities lie my oh just says no loss at the mo

 

[westbrja]

Dmn I can't believe how close you are! Time is really flying by. I was thinking earlier that at my next appt I will be 24 weeks already. We got babies dresser put together a couple of weeks ago and now I'm just waiting on MIL-to-be to buy the crib. My mom bought us the bedding set we wanted. There has been talk about a baby shower but it's going to be such a busy summer with the wedding and wedding shower. It will all work out though.

Wannabe - I can't say I know exactly where you're coming from cuz I am my mom's only child and DF's brothers don't have kids yet. His sister has a DD but they live in Chicago. I hope it all works out for you though .

 

[dmn1156]

West i guess time seems to be going a little slower for me lol but all your tickers seem to be shooting by lol but i dont have long left and kids break up for easter half term in just over a week so m sure time will go quicker then but im all organised just got to build the moses basket rocker stand and im done and bag is finished now. Im sure all your plans will work out maybe you could combine the wedding and baby shower together might be fun

i was thinking today it is really strange as you have all been here since i announced my pregnancy and your all pregnant as well and it wont be long before were all announcing our lo births scary really lol

hope your all having a lovely weekend

 

[Kelly9]

Wannabe that sucks. I am a little worried about it to, my brother and his wife have one baby already and are due with their second a month before my boy is born and I have to say I was happy my boy will be born after cause then he'll be the smallest for a while but we live across the country and they live close to my parents so I fear the same will happen. My mom promised me she wouldn't do it so at least she'll put forth an effort but sometimes you don't think about what you say before it comes out. As for DH's parents they have a granddaughter that lives in Ontario which is a 20 hour drive away so we'll be in the same boat plus this will be the first grandson for them. I am not worried about his parents, they love us all the same and I am the closest to my mil out of her other sons wives/gf's.

 

[dmn1156]

Families can be a pain really my Dad is great i travel up to see him and he does the same vice versa it is a 250 mile drive so we make holidays out of them but my dad sees the kids a lot and he treats all the grandkids the same which is good my Mum died 10 years ago now but she would of been the same
OH parents tho make it perfectly clear that there older grandkids are more important than our kids are and let you know it they take them out every weekend and in the week and they have them stay over and everything else but she never has mine and only visits twice a year but im quite outspoken unfortunately so i let it be known if she cant be bothered then neither can we and i wont have my children messed around or made to feel like they dont count so we dont have much contact at all now

 

[Kelly9]

Yeah my moms parents were like that with us to, pretty much ignored us but spoilt the other grandkids from her other sisters. Meh I don't care, I don't have much contact with them anyway. They only got an invite to our wedding cause it was polite.

I have just spent the last hour trying to figure out if one of my courses can be transferred for a credit from another university. No luck, I'm going to have to call the registrar on monday and find out if I can take it at the other school. I only bother cause then I can get one more course done on my own time online and have an easier fall semester in sept which would be nice with a baby and all.

 

[dmn1156]

kelly im like that i dont care if i see them or not and my boys dont really know who they are either so they dont miss them. Would be nice if you can get your course sorted out anything that gives you more time with baby is good so good luck hope you can do it

 

[Kelly9]

Won't know till next week. We'll see.

 

[wannabeamom]

thanks guys i had to go to the mother in laws for dinner today and his sis and husband were there also. she came out with some corkers such as... i would help but cant in my condition??? shes 5 weeks pregnant!!! and said whilst patting her belly "dont worry you will get more than that one" the mil responded by saying they will both get exactly the same to which she replied "but i want mine to have more!" lol she sounded about 5 years old!! i think i will just have to laugh her off...at least mil said she would treat them fairly! also she has been paying for our pram every week ready for us to pick it up in may and i told her we didnt expect her to carry on paying now and are fully grateful for what she has paid so far and she said look this is my sons baby and you are my daughter in law so you are family and we will carry on paying for yours then start buying hers after which i thought was lovely considering she isnt normally that nice to me so im feeling much more reassured now i just think my sil is a competative person so is her husband...

anyway thats enough moaning! hows everyone else today? have you al had nice weather? we've been on a shopping spree all we need now is the baby

 

[Kelly9]

I can't believe you SIL said hers would get more! How greedy and selfish. I am happy your mil put her in her place!
