Growing Mom's Check in Week of May 24th
- Thread starter melanalyus
- Start date
I just got awesome news from one of my dental assistant, she found out that she was pregnant last week and was able to see her Dr today. She is expecting fraternal twins. I'm so happy for her, these will be babies #5 and 6. She's only 7.1 weeks and her due date is Jan 1st. I'm telling you, is contagious! Now, she's having bad m/s too.
Christine, nice pic, I'm glad everything went great. Do you get U/S everytime you see your Dr? Mine only does 3, at the beginning, aroung 18-20 weeks and after 36 weeks.
Dawn, I'm eating like there's no tomorrow, I'll have 10 more pounds by my next app. in June 8th if I don't control this craving for sweets
Susan, for how long are you leaving? And yes, jalapenos and beans burritos are my new thing now LOL
Hi to all the fabulous pregnant ladies!

Christine, what a great picture!
Dawn, I gained 9 pounds last month (my 20 week appointment). I had only gained 6 or 7 up until that point! I hear you. Isn't it nice to be in such good company?!
But I like your attitude -- it's already there, no point beating yourself up. Just move forward, doing the best you can (and eating chocolate when the urge strikes LOL).
I've been having bad ear pain (inside, too) on the left side. I was wondering if it could be caused by sleeping primarily on the left side, maybe from the constant pressure at night. You girls make me feel better
Today I did a DVD I've had since my last pregnancy, but never done It was Perfect Pregnancy Workout, from Progressive Parenting featuring the woman from Cirque de Soleil. It was a decent workout. It's good for days when you want to do something, break a bit of a sweat but don't have the energy to go nuts. It's supposedly designed to strengthen your body for both delivery and lifting your newborn. And it incorporates kegels (which I admittedly never do).

HOpe everyone slept well and the ears aren't too sore!
Not sure what workout I willdo today. I am thinking Cardio and Weights. I'll report back with that.
Haley and I have a lot of errands to run this morning. We have to go sign up for the library summer reading program, get cash for the trip, go back to walmart, etc etc etc.
Pricalla-that is great about your assistant!! How exciting! A few weeks back I would eat a bowl of re-fried beans and jalapenos smothered with salsa for lunch..everyday! It still sounds good but I don't HAVE To have it. My sugar craving is wild too.We'll be gone for 8 days.
Allison-I never kagel either...I always forget about them.
Melanie-are you back at work today? Hang in there!
Hi Dawn, Jen, Christine, Wendy, Cee!!

Good morning to al the wonderful preggos! I noticed the ear pain in the middle of the night but didn't wake up with it. I could not get comfortable last night for the life of me! Every time I turned over, something ached or got sore. AND...I had a horrible nightmare that I delivered my baby in the shower too early. Now I am feeling a little paranoia before my dr's appointment. I KNOW everything is fine but still....the darn dreams are SOOO real!
Priscilla- That is wonderful news for your assistant! I secretly hoped we were having twin boys!
Allison- I notice everything on my left side is sore; ear, jaw, neck, shoulder...I think its because I am trying to primarily sleep on my left side. For some reason, I just can't get comfortable on my right side anyway so it doesn't leave my many sleeping position options.
Susan- Good luck on the workout today! Don't know what I will do yet, possibly just a CC on the TM tonight after work.
Melanie- Hope you have a wonderful spot free, vomit free day at work!
I'll check back later! Have a good day!

Good morning everyone!
Could the ear pain be from teh swelling of the sinuses and mucous membranes that occurs in the second and third trimesters? I get a weird ear pain that causes echo-ing and cannot clear them. My doctor had mentioned the sinus thing. I know at night, things settle when you are lying down, and it might cause pressure on the ears. An all natural way to relieve sinus congestion is a netty pot. I saw Dr. Oz do it on Oprah and got one. I love it. You feel ridiculous when you do it, but it flushes the sinuses out with saline and can help you sleep better. My husband snores like a freight train and he does it before bed, it makes a big difference. So not know if this will help any of you, but maybe!
Thanks for all the comments about the ultrasound. I have more, I just have not gotten to uploading them. My doctor is a professor at USC School of Medicine, so he has awesome equipment. Yes, we get an ultrasound at each appt! My husband has just found out that we may have to move very soon, or very close to delivery. It makes me sad because I ADORE my OBGYN.
I am glad that the Perfect Pregnancy workout was tested! Thanks! I own it and think I will start it soon. I struggled on Boot Camp a few days ago. I have lost a LOT of strength. Today is Low Impact Circuit, and I will try the strength one tomorrow...
Have a great day everyone!

Christine-I LOVE my dr too..hopefully you'll be able to stay and deliver wtih him!!
My ears are really stuffy in the mornings and I feel really out of balance for a while...but it passes.
Jen- I remember having really bad dreams with dd..I think thats normal. DD woke up at 4 crying saying she had a dream the our baby died...she was very upset! I had trouble getting comfortalbe too..I just wish I could like flat on my back and straighten out everything! HOpe you have a good day!
Hi to everyone. Off to get busy..bbl

Susan- Have a safe trip! We are having gloriously hot and humid weather! No more rain, yay!
Well I convinced myself to get on the TM tonight with CC. I feel better now that I did. Plus I sleep so much more soundly on the days I work out.
It is quiet around here today. Melanie, I hope you had a good day back to work. We are taking out jet skis out tomorrow and then going to buy more wood floor for the guest room so I will check in later tomorrow!
Hi to all the beautiful preggos!

Have a safe trip, Susan! That's sad about DD's dream. (hugs)(hugs),...we still haven't told our little boys about the twins. They took our last m/c very hard. I don't want them to go thru that again.
Precilla, it's always nice to have other's to share pg with! Congrats to your assistant! How are YOU feeling nowadays? I always crave Mexican food when pg.
Jen, sorry about all the body aches!!! STOP FREAKING ME OUT!!!! LOL I'm looking forward to 2nd trimester.
Christine, show us some more pics. That's a transnucal u/s, eh? They seem more clear than a regular u/s. Maybe it's the tint.
Hi all the rest of you mommies out there!
Work went well, woke up to dry heaves,...took 2 Zofran,...was super tired,...but can tell I"m getting stronger. I work tomorrow too,...so off to bed!

Have a great vacation, Susan!
I squeezed in the cardio portion of 4DS Kickbox. I *love* this 30 minute workout!
We have supper club tomorrow night. The theme is Spanish food, and the host is going to have a whole spread of Spanish cheeses. When I lived in Spain, I didn't like much of the food, but I *loved* the cheese. So bummed I can't eat any of it tomorrow!! Darn pasteurization rule

Hello everyone! Took our jet skis out to the lake today. What a beautiful day here! I got a little too much sun on my legs but all in all it was so nice and relaxing!
Susan- Hope you are enjoying FL and aren't too hot!
Melanie- Honestly the body aches are so minor compared to the energy I have now in the second trimester. The difference in unbelievable. Even DH can't believe it. Your comment made me laugh. Yay for getting stronger!
I agree, Spanish food sounds yummy!
