1. What is your current biggest pregnancy related complaint? Migraines. Have to go see a neurologist this week
2. What is your favorite thing about being pregnant? That it's half over. Seriously, I hate being pregnant. I'm not even feeling kicks, just the occasional hiccup, and the odd feeling of the fetus slowly moving from one side of my uterus to another. Imagine how it would feel if your intestines started floating away - it's not pleasant, it's strange and creepy. On the plus side, I'm hoping this means we'll get a mellow baby.
3. What is your nursery theme? Cycling
4. What is your biggest craving so far?? No cravings. I have been eating more red meat and dairy, but I wouldn't say I'm craving them, like omg I must eat this. More like, they just sound good, and usually they don't. I've also been eating a lot of junk - twinkies and brownies etc.
1. What is your current biggest pregnancy related complaint?
My hips are killing me.
2. What is your favorite thing about being pregnant?
Feeling kicks and movements every night before I go to sleep. I usually climb into bed a little early (before DH) comes to bed, and I just lay there with my hand on my belly feeling kicks. Makes me smile.
3. What is your nursery theme?
Little birdies.
4. What is your biggest craving so far?
If it is a sweet, I am all over it...horrible I know.
1. What is your current biggest pregnancy related complaint? I think as of right now I would have to say sleeping. I'm a belly sleeper and this past week I've reached the point where it is uncomfortable!
2. What is your favorite thing about being pregnant? I love every moment of it... the planning the anticipation... feeling him move around....I am so excited to be a mom LOL
3. What is your nursery theme? We just picked out our nursey theme and in my family's true fashion it will be a sports theme. Lots of baseball's football's basketballs etc.... The typical boys room LOL
4. What is your biggest craving so far?? I am probably the most boring pregnant woman! I have had NO cravings
1. What is your current biggest pregnancy related complaint? Currently, difficulty sleeping. It takes me forever to get to sleep and then I toss and turn all night.
2. What is your favorite thing about being pregnant? Feeling the baby moving. It never gets old! Also, not having to worry about dieting.
3. What is your nursery theme? LO will be sleeping in our room for the first few months, and eventually he will be sharing a room with DS#1, so we're not doing anything new (DS#1's room has a New York Yankees theme)
4. What is your biggest craving so far?? Doughnuts! I can't stop thinking about them, but I'm trying not to overindulge.
1. My SPD pain and that fact that I'm not sleeping well. I always assumed this stuff started way later in pregnancy but it's already getting old.
2. Just the fact that we're going to have a baby at the end of it. Pregnancy hasn't been hard on me, it just isn't that great either.
3. No theme really. Just some basic bedding, paint, and wall hangings. We haven't really started anything yet, so there very well could be a theme by the time we get there.
4. Chocolate milk. I've never been a milk person but did enjoy a glass of chocolate milk here and there, but, now, I can't get enough. I have a glass just about every day.
1. What is your current biggest pregnancy related complaint? Right now, at 23 weeks, I have on/off days when it comes to the fact I don't have that adorably baby bump look so many women have. My stomach is getting larger, but it's more like an over all thing. I can wear all of my pre-pregnancy clothes, and I keep telling myself this is a good thing. However, I don't look like myself in them. And I don't look "pregnant". I look chunky. I try to keep telling myself if strangers can't tell I look pregnant (heck even people who know me tell me I don't look pregnant), then that's less people to ask noise questions.
2. What is your favorite thing about being pregnant? Eating ice cream! Instead of having an occasional cocktail or glass of wine, I have a scoop of ice cream multiple nights a week! But seriously, my favorite thing is thinking about my baby, and what he/she will be like!
3. What is your nursery theme? No "theme" but a color scheme. Yellow & gray, with brown (because the door, the closet doors, the trim, are ALL brown, and we have a perfectly good brown rug in the room).
4. What is your biggest craving so far?? Haven't had much in the way of cravings. I'm not sure if this is a real craving, or just letting myself indulge in something I wouldn't normally, but I have certainly been enjoying french baguettes with butter!
1. What is your current biggest pregnancy related complaint? Physical: RLP has been bothering me again lately a LOT and weight gain. My problem with the weight gain is that I have no idea anymore if it's the baby or my sometimes out of control eating. I have tried to limit my snacking to basically nothing (unless it's fruit) and trying, trying, TRYING to limit my carbs... but that has been so hard.
Non-physical: The constant anxiety about the baby - I suppose this will never ease up, now that I am a parent, huh? But all the... is she OK? Will *I be OK? Will it hurt? Will my body ever be the same? How will we be able to afford the same lifestyle or a GOOD lifestyle that we want to raise our daughter in? How will I ever be able to go back to work when my baby is only 12 weeks old? All these things are really weighing on me!!
2. What is your favorite thing about being pregnant? Definitely feeling this little girl moving around in there. And buying little baby girl clothes & little baby girl shoes has been a lot of fun! :-)
3. What is your nursery theme? We did the room in all pink and my husband did crown moulding in white, the trim & ceiling in white... it just looks like such a little girly room!! We are doing a neutral wall-to-wall carpet (coming within this week, hopefully) and our main theme is just butterflies. My husband made a metal "tree branch" that he is painting like a taupe/woodish color to hang around the crib (over the crib and wrapping around the corner of the room). We got all these beautiful rose blossoms from Michael's in like a peony pink and an off-white - they are not the traditional roses, but if you had a rose bush - those kind that are open? Don't know what they are called. We are going to put those on all the branches. I absolutely can't wait! I showed him a decal I liked and he went from there.
4. What is your biggest craving so far?? Unfortunately, I've wanted a ton of fried food, which I think is directly related to being on Weight Watchers quite successfully for the past 9 months prior to getting pregnant. I lost 100 lbs and sadly, let myself get out of control a bit too much in the beginning and just "caved" to all my "cravings," which I put in quotes because I'm pretty sure they weren't pregnancy cravings, but rather "former big girl" cravings lol. I am still craving things with big flavors- like hot sauce on everything or boneless wings. I wanted a lot of sweets in the beginning, but again, not sure if that is pregnancy related! I have tried to cut back on the sweets now and I have been pretty successful. There are so many carbs in Skittles, for example, which I really wanted the other day. SKITTLES! There are like 34 carbs in 1/3 of the SMALL BAG! I feel like I could put the entire small bag into my mouth at once... that almost 100 carbs!!!! Ugh. Stupid carbs.
1. What is your current biggest pregnancy related complaint? Back Pain!!! It kills me every day. I'm the most sore when I wake up in the morning.
2. What is your favorite thing about being pregnant? Feeling the baby move and a little bit of having an excuse to be fat/eat.
3. What is your nursery theme? For LO, it's giraffes, caterpillars, alligators, birds.... I believe it's a "zoo" theme. Then DS has monkeys.... They will be sharing a room, so it's really a zoo theme. lol.
4. What is your biggest craving so far?? Chocolate milk, ice cream,
4. What is your biggest craving so far?? The only time I craved something it was for Diet Coke. Otherwise I just want all the things I did pre-pregnancy - sweets, hot and spicy foods, carbs.
1. What is your current biggest pregnancy related complaint? Sore back

I have tried to limit my snacking to basically nothing (unless it's fruit) and trying, trying, TRYING to limit my carbs... but that has been so hard.
Non-physical: The constant anxiety about the baby - I suppose this will never ease up, now that I am a parent, huh? But all the... is she OK? Will *I be OK? Will it hurt? Will my body ever be the same? How will we be able to afford the same lifestyle or a GOOD lifestyle that we want to raise our daughter in? How will I ever be able to go back to work when my baby is only 12 weeks old? All these things are really weighing on me!!
2. What is your favorite thing about being pregnant? Definitely feeling this little girl moving around in there. And buying little baby girl clothes & little baby girl shoes has been a lot of fun! :-)
3. What is your nursery theme? We did the room in all pink and my husband did crown moulding in white, the trim & ceiling in white... it just looks like such a little girly room!! We are doing a neutral wall-to-wall carpet (coming within this week, hopefully) and our main theme is just butterflies. My husband made a metal "tree branch" that he is painting like a taupe/woodish color to hang around the crib (over the crib and wrapping around the corner of the room). We got all these beautiful rose blossoms from Michael's in like a peony pink and an off-white - they are not the traditional roses, but if you had a rose bush - those kind that are open? Don't know what they are called. We are going to put those on all the branches. I absolutely can't wait! I showed him a decal I liked and he went from there.
4. What is your biggest craving so far?? Unfortunately, I've wanted a ton of fried food, which I think is directly related to being on Weight Watchers quite successfully for the past 9 months prior to getting pregnant. I lost 100 lbs and sadly, let myself get out of control a bit too much in the beginning and just "caved" to all my "cravings," which I put in quotes because I'm pretty sure they weren't pregnancy cravings, but rather "former big girl" cravings lol. I am still craving things with big flavors- like hot sauce on everything or boneless wings. I wanted a lot of sweets in the beginning, but again, not sure if that is pregnancy related! I have tried to cut back on the sweets now and I have been pretty successful. There are so many carbs in Skittles, for example, which I really wanted the other day. SKITTLES! There are like 34 carbs in 1/3 of the SMALL BAG! I feel like I could put the entire small bag into my mouth at once... that almost 100 carbs!!!! Ugh. Stupid carbs.
