[dmn1156]

i read that but to be honest im not sure il gain that a week i dont stay still long enough for 1 and i dont eat unhealthily either so il keep an eye on it lol

 

[Mrs_N]

I haven't weighed myself in months. Figure I'll just rely on my mirror to tell me if I'm getting fat!

So although today has been an amazing day, I have a horrible headache & a nasty headcold so I'm off to get some rest!

 

[dmn1156]

Mrs N the mirror is always good at showing you where the pounds are going on lol
i hope you feel better after a good nights rest

i dont weigh myself often was curios lol as my friend who is just 3 weeks ahead of me was huge when i saw her yesterday and she was saying she has gained 3 and a half stone so i thought id check what i had gained

 

[westbrja]

Isn't a stone like 14 lbs or something? Oh my!
Mrs N - Feel better
Enjoy the rest of your weekend girls!

 

[Mrs_N]

Wow 3 1/2 stone is a lot!

Still got the headache & stuffy nose this morning, was hoping it'd disappear overnight lol, no such luck! Really don't want to have to take any meds - anyone got any good natural remedies??

My future MIL makes this homemade stuff. We call it "pink stuff" lol. It's safe during pregnancy, kids, elderly, adults. Maybe once I marry into the family she'll give me the recipe. It fixes any and everything. I swear by it. In the meantime try to stand in the bathroom with the shower on hot. Maybe the steam will break up the congestion .

You can also try Sterimar. Its a nasal spray that is safe in pregnancy as its only steilised saltwater. You spray it up the nose and then blow. Suppose to help clean out your sinuses. It definately helps with the headaches, but hasn't completely cleared up my stuffy nose. The headaches were the worst of the 2 symptoms for me anyways. All hormone related apparently. Gotta love all the effect that the hormones have on us!! NOT

I wight myself once every couple of days. I am trying very hard not to gain more then I have to. So far so good at about 3-3.5 pounds. I am happy with that.

So waiting on floor guy to come he's running late obviously as he was suppose to be here at 9 and it's now quarter after. People who aren't punctual drive me bananas its like my biggest pet peeve. That and not canceling but instead just not showing up.

Anyway once this is on the go I got to study. Fun stuff.

 

[westbrja]

Have fun studying Kelly. I'm hitting the books right after work this evening.

 

[dmn1156]

Hi ladies hope your all having a good weekend

west 14 lbs is a stone the midwife said so far the gain is fine and most of it if not all at the moments is all baby products so im pleased however anything i gain from here on in will be fat so im going to be really good although im craving really sweet stuff at the moment but trying to eat fruit instead so fxd

Mrs N hope you feel better i used steam and a bit of karvol on a tissue when i got colds and i only took paracetemol when my headache got too bad to function with

kelly hope your floors are all or nearly done and it looks great good luck with the studying

afm well what a day went to see OH parents and well not only do they live in the middle of nowhere but it was flooded and took ages and then when we got there she did nothing but talk about his sister for 2 hours and all the stuff she does for her and her kids and i got quite annoyed as they visit us maybe twice a year and she never bothers with our kids so in the end i just said come on it is time we headed back before the flooding gets worse sorry for the rant but it irritated me lol

 

[Kelly9]

Um studying? Whats that, still haven't started! Will be tonight. God I am bad at this study thing this time around.

Got all registered for spring and summer courses though which was fun! And tuition is about 1500 bucks cheaper to! Yay! and I just found out one of the classes I am taking actually counts for 2 courses cause of the hours it require so yippee!

Hello ladies been a very busy weekend! DH and I finished up over at the rental house and the girls moved in on Saturday. The mom is a little pushy but tbh that's my only hang up atm.

I've got a really bad headache atm may have to take some tylenol with codine but trying to just use tylenol atm

I have some really great news Dr's nurse Angie called me with the results from my blood tests they did on Wednesday. The first range of numbers is what they give me with my age risk then the second is after they use my blood and calculate the risk.

Open Nural defect 1 in 900 less than 1 in 10,000
Downs Syndrom 1 in 75 1 in 2,700
Trisomey 18 1 in 730 1 in 9,800

These are very good so have defo opted to not do the amnio!

Hope your all having a wonderful day!

 

[Mrs_N]

thats great news csunshine!
hope your headache improves

 

[dmn1156]

thats great results csunshine glad they are all on the right side for you and happy 16 weeks today

Mrs N how you doing you still suffering

 

[westbrja]

Yay on the great test results Csunshine !
How's everyone doing?
I'm hanging in there. I've decided to start taking my anti-depressant again . It was a hard decision and a last resort as we didn't want to take anything while I was pregnant. The hormones are getting the best of me and I'm really having a hard time coping with stress. I just realized that I was probably doing more damage being so stressed out all the time verses taking a medication that is safe during pregnancy. I've just really been short with DF and everyone around me and I really haven't cared much for myself. I'm usually a very bubbly person but lately that's not been the case. I had this same problem while pregnant with DS too. Sorry to ramble just needed to vent I guess.
Yesterday was DD's 5th birthday. OMG time flies by so fast. We're having a big party for her this coming Sunday.

 

[shawnie]
