Preggo Checkin June 28

Just want to add that I'm still hungry all the time, too! But with advice from this forum, I think I finally have that under control with better eating--I pack hard-boiled eggs, low-fat cheese, fruit, and crackers with me every day (in other words, LOTS of small snacks). And I literally eat every 2-3 hours. I also like foods like carrot sticks and grapes because I feel like I can eat as many as I want and I do!

Even if I knew this the first trimester, I'm assuming I still would have had to go through my bad-food/hormones-out-of-whack stage (it was all about high-calorie, no-value carbs and chocolate ice cream :) ). And I probably wasted a lot of pounds back then. Oh well. We move forward (and of course keep the chocolate ice cream in the treat-yourself category always).

Have a great day,
Dawn
 
Hi Ladies!
Dawn I don't think I could of eaten healthy the first tri if I had really wanted to. NOTHING healthy sounded good. Most of us have gone through that. LIke you said...oh well..we have moved forward! I have to eat every couple hours also. I just feel better that way. I have beeen checking my blood sugar and so far its good. I was getting kinda shaky yesterday and I checked it and it was 70 so I had some cheese and crackers and felt much better. It hasnt been high..so thats what I was worried about.

I walked 2 miles and did 20 min on the elliptical this morning. Slept good last night. My butt pain didnt start until 5 and I was able to go back to sleep until nearly 6.

Haley and I are organzing stuff today after the furniture move last night. She is so anxious to get the nursery put together. Dh said he would put the crib together tonight..shes stoked!

I have been havnig major brx hx. I had them big time with Haley..guess its just me. My belly seems rock hard all the time.

Hi Melanie, Jen, Chirstine and everyone..sorry my brain is not working..names are not coming to me..sorry to those I forgot!
 
Wow Dawn! You sound awesome!!!! Oh!!! wowzers,.......just thinking to myself that I"m 16 weeks along,.......feeling like a boat with a long list of ailments,......KNOWING THIS WILL BE MY LAST PREGNANCY!!!!!!! And for the record, I've always assumed I'd have more with my other pregnancies. ;)

Jen, Tylenol (Apap) is category B & Sudafed (pseudoephedrine) is category C in pregnancy (those are the two ingredients in Tylenol Sinus). I usually recommend it short term, and only when needed. I'm ultra-conservative though with recommendations. ;)

So, since term for twins is 36 weeks, I"m counting 18 weeks as my 1/2 way mark....so just 2 more weeks!!!!!!!!

I had a double blessing today. A BM+ first (without a doubt) baby kick. :D :D

Christine? You still with us?
 
Morning
Well, I guess the butt pain is going to be a nightly occurance now. Usually it comes and goes but its stuck around all week so far now. Other than that no major complaints. I just have better days when I sleep! Today will be weights. Tomorrow we leave for Mississippi for Dh's family reunion so I have a lot of baking to do today. bbl

Melanie-so happy you felt the babes kick!!!!

Hi Dawn, Jen, Pricilla, Christine, Kristine, Wendy
 
I think I just felt one baby kick,...only on one side? Maybe they're hoovering over to one side? And it's kinda painful. I don't remember it hurting before? Maybe it's b/c my uterus is stretching so much? It's still cool though.

I have the day off! I was going to go to the beach with a mommy-friend, but the weather is unseasonably cool. :( We'll have to do a playdate,.....which means I best get to cleaning up a bit.

Have fun at re-union Susan! Sorry you're having butt pain. I had really bad butt pain with Jadon,...I used on of those thermal-patches on my lower back everyday while I worked,...just so I could get through the shifts.

BBL to check on ya'll!
 
Hi everyone, I am still here! I am just super grouchy and do not want to bring anyone down! I will be back in a few days when my homones get under control or the house sells. Since neither will happen, I will just paugh a little more and vacuum a little less, and be back to see you all!!!!:)
 
Hang in there Chirstine!!!

Melanie-have fun today! I wish it was unseasonbly cool here. My butt pain doesnt bother me at all during the day..just at night. I will try a heating pad and tylenol tonight!

MM done. Im gonna get sick of that one if I don't switch around some.

Haley has a Webkinz fashion show to attend. bbl
 
Hey everybody! Was crazy busy at work yesterday and moved back into our bedroom last night! Yay! DH is done with rooms for a few weeks! I will post pics as soon as I get them on the computer!

Way to go Dawn! I feel/felt the same way about workouts that you did. If I can't push myself right now, then why bother? I always have a goal whether it is to lift heavier or run faster or longer and since right now its maintenance, I've just given up. That's awesome about your energy! Hopefully mine will come back like that. I have spurts here and there but am usually overall tired.

Melanie- Yay for baby movements! My little guy moves all the time now and DH actually felt it last night! I think he was surprised!

Christine- Sending "low stress vibes" your way and lots of hugs! I hope the house sells very soon for you!

Susan- I'm sorry to hear you still are having the butt pain. That is so sweet about Haley and DH!

Hi to all the other preggos!
 
Got all the baking done. Its too darn hot to be baking!! Haley is at a friends house so that helped not having to entertain her too. I have enjoyed a quiet house.

Jen-glad you are back in your own bedroom. I can't wait to see pics.

We decided on a name. Kara Frances Kline. Glad that is settled. I wanted Kara with a "C" but Paul really wanted the "K" so I gave in...I got the Frances I wanted. The K is growing on me though. Feels like she has been doing KPC today..very active.

Well, that is all for now. bbl
 
Good AM ladies. I'm off to work, but wanted to say "hi" to all my favorite round bellied friends first. :D :D I am sooooooo excited about having tomorrow off. :D :D

When my feet, legs, and back start to kill me 3 hours into my shift, I will focus on my day off tomorrow. And seeing my two outrageously handsome boys driving their decorated bicycles through the streets of our hometown in the kiddie parade. The joy on their faces is PRICELESS!!!!!

Waves to all!
 
I'm here! Just busy at work so I didn't get a chance to post today and then had dinner with in laws. MIL got to feel baby kick and she was thrilled! It was sweet. He is rolling and moving around like crazy today! Maybe its all the fireworks.... ???

Melanie- Aww...you should post a pic of the two handsomest boys riding in the parade! How sweet!

Hi to everyone else! Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
 
Everyone must be having a fun-packed holiday. We just took a breather,...and I"m about ready to pack for the fireworks. They don't start until 1030 or so up here in the Northlands. :eek::eek: It's going to be a late night,.....but definitely worth it.

Hope to hear from ya'll tomorrow. :D
