TTC and Beyond!

[goldstns]

yay sandy!!

I gained ALL my weight first tri. I didn't gain anything second... and gained like 3 lbs third, but lost it all when I was really sick a few weeks ago. I am now 1 week post labor and I have like 7 lbs left to lose and I will be at starting weight (however, way more flabby)

^Same here, I lived off the lil "Cuties" clementines lol.

Both pregnancies I've gained nothing or lost a few lbs during 1st tri.. put on about 10-15 2nd tri, and then another 15-20 3rd tri.. Lol I am up 15 lbs total this pregnancy. I gained 55 with Jaxon, trying not to do thattt again.

i weighed myself today - 156.3. down 1lb since last week, phew! i needed to put a halt to that train so now i'm up about 3lbs total and feel ok with that. also, i went to spinning today at lunch and it was awesome. the down side: between exercise and in general 25% gain in metabolism, it's so hard not to continually graze on whatever is nearby. hehe. i wonder whats for dinner tonight....?
ash - it's 4.23 here - whats it gonna be? hot dog or hamburger?

Lol well it's only 1:45 here so you still got about 2 hours and 15 minutes to wait

 

[frsttimemama]

[wavescrash]

YAY! Did you get just the basic positive/negative or an HCG count as well?

 

[asmcsm]

Yay! Can't wait Sandy!!

My friend finally got around to posting an update and thought I'd share it... He was born today at 34w1d - "at 10:35am - 5lbs 2oz - 17.25 inches long. Perfectly healthy. He is currently in the nursery & I haven't seen him since the hour he was born. I just want to hold my baby boy & I know it'll be a while since I have to stay hooked up to all these machines due to the preeclampsia, but I know he is in the best care."

I'd say that's pretty good for a 34 weeker seeing as Hannah was 6lbs 5oz and dropped down below 6 when she was born (full-term.)


Also finally heard from my LOA case manager today. She finally got in contact with someone at my doctor's office who said they don't give out info over the phone and needed forms from the LOA company to fill out. So she faxed my doctor's office the forms and said we have until January 21 to submit them. I see my OB on Friday, the 17th so hopefully she holds off until I see her so I can talk to her in person & make sure we're on the same page. My legs swelled up again last night before bed and it's so freaking painful. But they were back to normal again when I woke up so I'm not worried about it or anything. Just hurts like hell when they swell up lol.

Also the washing machine in our building has been broken for about a week now. OH called the front office to ask if they knew when it would be fixed but the lady cut him off and said "Hold on... before you go any further, we don't deal with that. You have to call the number on the machine." Very rude-like. Someone already did call maintenance according to a post-it note left on the machine so we figured the apartment complex would have been filled in as to when their machine would be fixed. Ugh.

Yay Sandy! Can't wait!! Omg Morgan I will freak if I gain that much weight. I feel huge already - even though it's all in my belly and boobs. I think I eat pretty healthy so it's got to all be good weight. And I was underweight to begin with so I guess I shouldn't care. Plus it results in a beautiful baby so I really shouldn't care. I just feel like a whale. And speaking of fatness, Tonight I made pork chops and asparagus, diced potatoes, & grape tomatoes tossed in oil and garlic, topped with feta cheese. Yumm. It's delicious.

Ashlee I can't wait to hear if it's a boy or girl

 

[frsttimemama]

It was kinda low @ 12.07, but I am only 10 dpo.

 

[HWPG]

All that matters is if it doubles. When will you get the next bw?

 

[wavescrash]

12 means you're pregnant right now... for certain The numbers don't matter so much as it does that they double so I wouldn't stress over a number just yet. Are you going back for a repeat? YAY

 

[frsttimemama]

The on call dr only ordered one. I'll call my dr tomorrow and see what's next and when.

 

[CantHrdlyWait]

Yay Sandy!!!! So happy for you!!! That's excellent!

Ashlee- so excited to hear what you are having!

Cass- I didn't gain any weight in the first tri. I lost 7 lbs and just today and back to the weight I was when I found out I was pregnant. So i'm 17+1 and haven't gained a lb yet. I wouldn't worry. I bet you are fine.

I just got in from the gym. Walked for 50 minutes on the treadmill and covered 2.5 miles. I think in a couple weeks, I might start jogging slowly.

 

[Disneybaby26]

Sandy!!!! Yay yay yay!! Try not to stress about numbers it's soooooooo early!! Congrats mama!!

Cass- it will come!! I didn't gain anything first tri- really up until 18 weeks. Now I'm up 9~10 pounds. Don't you worry!!

Speaking to that- I feel like I'm at my limit...like I don't get where the rest of this baby is going to go lol. I can breathe and feel so rock hard today and I'm def not getting any smaller for a while. It's a little scary to me how uncomfortable this might get...

 

[Disneybaby26]

Ashley must be in her appt now right?? Ahhhhhh, so excited!!!

 

[clynn11]
