sandieleeann · December 2011

Can I be added to the list please?

sandieleeann- 9/4/2012

I hope I'm here to stay!

QOTW: I guess it's not really a resolution, but just try to keep a healthy as close to stress free life as I can.

Update: I had my first appointment yesterday to confirm and she said I'm definitely pregnant which was a relief to hear. But now I am constantly worried about an early miscarriage and my stress. My BIL really upset me this morning and my heart started pounding and I got all shaky and now all my symptoms are gone. So of course I know have an irrational fear that something is now wrong.

Other than that I have been just having on and off cramps, a little more tired than usual, I had a stuffy nose before I even got my BFP, but thats gone now. Oh and I have been constantly hungry and thirsty this past week.

Jess.O · December 2011

I can't believe I'm #4! That's crazy.

QOTW: Find a church and start attending regularly. Get back to my pre-pg weight (haven't decided on a timeline for this yet.)

Updates: Not too much. I have an appt. today and I'm hoping that I don't get lectured about my weight (it was Christmas for goodness sakes!). The baby has been moving like crazy and I'm getting tons of BH. I've also been woken up by cramps a few nights but they're nothing timeable so I haven't worried about it. It's been so nice being able to take a nap during the day when I need it so I'm not looking forward to going back to work.

kirknsarah · December 2011

QOTW: My resolution is to not commit to anything new this year.

Update: Just got my latest progesterone number back (20), which my doctor is happy with. We have another u/s next Tuesday, then I start getting treated like a normal patient. I've been off and on queasy, had borderline heartburn, been super hungry and thirsty, and very tired. Also my boobs are killing me. Like, at night when I turn over I wake up because they hurt. Oh and I'm bloated--I think I'm going to cave and get a belly band this weekend. But I haven't been completely incapacitated like my sisters were, so that's good. At least so far. I'm trying to be productive while I can in case the m/s hits me and I can't function.

balihaigirl · December 2011

QOTW: not really, just trying to get as much organized at home as possible.

Updates: I can't believe I'm getting so close to the top of the list! I've been home this week so I've gotten the nursery pretty much done. I have all of the clothes washed and put away and most things organized. I still need to work on some decorations but it looks like my mom is going to paint something for the baby's nursery.

We finally have picked a name for our daughter, so that's exciting! Other than that, I'm still chugging along. I'll be putting in my notice at work in a couple weeks which I'm SUPER excited about!

michelleaxo · December 2011

QOTW: My resolution is to keep focused attention on my daughter while we are together and have less TV wathcing, phone checking and other distractions around during that time. I also need to do a better job of getting my foul mouth under control.

Updates: No updates really, still trucking along smoothly.

BabyTime01032012 · December 2011

THANK GOD I AM NUMBER 1! I am a grumpy, grumpy large pregnant lady these days. I got to my OB tomorrow to see if there has been any progress. Last week I was only 30% effaced with no dilation. Hopefully, that will not be the story tomorrow.

QOTW: I haven't even thought about it! I definitely would like to get back to prepregnancy weight, though. Being large does not suit me!

Leigha12 · December 2011

QOTW: No resolutions yet, but I'm sure they will be along the lines of getting my eating habits on track and get back into the gym.

Updates: IT'S A BOY!! It was a complete and total shock to us, since were were convinced it was a girl, but we are excited nonetheless! Everything else is trucking along. I seem to be growing a pretty large baby, which is fun. Oh well, it will all work out in the end!

Mrs.Froggianna · December 2011

QOTW: My biggest resolution this year is to restart the family blog and keep up with it this time. My goal is one entry per week and then bump it up slowly over time.

Updates: Saw my doc this week and found out that my due date is now January 31st!!! I'm still not 100% sure how DH and I both thought it was 2/5...maybe a misunderstanding at our first u/s? I dunno. But apparently they've had my due date as 1/31 from the get-go. So now I've got less than 5 weeks and I've jumped the line to 3rd or 4th left on the list. Eeeeeekkk!!! I feel pretty well prepared, but we still haven't settled on a name.

Also, the pain & BH I had last week after my workout are gone thank goodness! I'm still feeling the BH, but they're not nearly as often as they were that day. I kinda feel silly now that I think about it, but my doc advised me that maybe 35 weeks PG is a good time to stop doing squats with a 20lb. kettle bell. Embarrassed So I'm bringing my workouts down a notch or two and keep plugging along till my body tells me to stop.

Nikison · December 2011

QOTW: I don't have any resolutions other than don't gain too much baby weight that it requires lots of dieting to lose.

Update: We found out two weeks ago - it's a BOY! I can't even begin to imagine life with a little boy. Everyone keeps telling me he and DD will be the perfect pair. My blood pressure has begun to rise again (scary was 160/100) so I'm trying to keep it low key, not get riled up and stay off my feet as much as possible. We are traveling next week (flying) and I'm a little nervous about flying while pregnant. I know people do it all the time, but I'm terrified of being that far away from doctors I'm familiar with.

angelaggie · December 2011

QOTW: I don't do resolutions usually. I guess I'd like to lose the baby weight by my sisters wedding in August. I'm right on track to gain 20 pounds. I'm not too worried.

UPDATES: I'm tired and sore. The acid reflux tried to kill me Monday night. I woke up coughing uncontrollably and couldn't breath. Choked on the acid in my sleep. I changed how much and how often I eat so that's helped. We start birthing classes tonight. I'm 27 weeks so I guess 3rd tri! Nursery is almost done and looks awesome.

And she has a name! Allison Marie

sweetdreams2000 · December 2011

QOTW: I don't really have one - although now that I am FINALLY past the m/s I am trying to exercise 3x per week for the remainder of the pregnancy, so hopefully I'll be in a good routine and keep going once baby comes.

Updates: Had my OB appt today, everything is looking good and I'm at the right size, and finally put on a whopping lb since my pre-preg weight (dang m/s). I posted this on my month board too - but my SIL stole our thunder at Christmas and announced she was having twins 2 mths after us - so it will be a lot of little babies due in 2012 (my sis is due in Mar with her 2nd also).
Oh, and we also picked out a name! Liliana Marie (marie was my/my grandmother's middle names)

HSartteach · December 2011

QOTW: I don't do resolutions. I never keep them, so I don't bother. That way I don't line myself up for disappointment.

UPDATE: No real big updates here. I'm super tired, and I feel super huge (even though I'm probably not.) I had some period-like cramping yesterday that I did not like. It's gone now though. I ordered my hypnobabies home-study kit--thanks to mil & fil for the gift-- and it should be arriving any day now. Oh, and I have pregnancy gingevitis (sp?)...yay!!
