Rounded Belly's Check in June 21st

Jen~ that's a cute set too. I'm blown away at how expensive the sets are!!! Wowzers!!!! My eldest had a set (he's 15),...but the other two just had basic blankets & comforters. I'm still not sure if I'll do a theme or not. I hate to spend the money. :eek:

Speaking of which!!! I'm grouchy after paying my bills today,...and now realize why I have been procrastinating with it. In reality, I"m going to have to start picking up more shifts....and that is agitating to me,...b/c I'm so worn out as it is. BUT, I KNOW I"m not going to want to work more after the twins get here,...so I'm just going to have to put my chin up and prod through. *urgh*

Susan~ I haven't gotten the official okay to workout,...but my spotting is completely gone. I'm considering jumping on the elliptical today,...but in all reality I"m so tired all the time. I know that exercise is supposed to energize us,...but I have a tendency of overdoing things (especially workouts). I'd like to spend the little energy I have on my family, ya know?

Christine~ feeling better today?
 
HI everyone, thank you for all the thoughts and hugs. I am usually such a capable person, and lately just feel so overwhelmed. Dran hormones and stress! I will get back to you all later, but want to say thanks! I am tryign to have a positive day!:D
 
Dawn, I do PS on an incline, or even just on my stability ball (when I'm too lazy to drag out the step platform and risers -- I figure it's a good workout for my bum and hamstrings, contracting like that while I do the arm work :) Like others have said, it's difficult to gain weight, even in the case of pregnancy when you know you NEED to do so in order to have a healthy baby. It took me 9 months to lose the weight after I had DD. I hated it -- I hated not fitting into my jeans and feeling like I still looked pregnant. But, I wouldn't trade my DD for anything in the world! She was worth every pound LOL And be prepared too -- when you get the weight off, you may find your shape has changed. Once back down to pre-preg weight, some things were too big and others were too small. It's weird how the body changes...

Melanie, I didn't do a bedding set last time either. I actually didn't do a "theme" for DD -- we didn't know what we were having, so I wanted a neutral nursery. I painted the walls a funky green color (Benjamin Moore Green Delicious Apple) and got a red rocker (my fave color), just decorating with lots of vibrant colors. I started with an unfinished, framed mirror that I wanted to be done in stripes of all colors and thicknesses. My mom and aunt made it happen, and I ran with it! I don't know that it was cheaper in the long run, but DD's nursery was one of a kind! I found committing to color was easy too -- I was able to make the room girlie after she was born, but it would have translated easily to a boy too :)

We leave for a beach "vacation" on Saturday. My DH's family is huge, and everyone is going -- in one house -- 26 people for one week. Yikes! We get back on Sat, 7/4. My glucose test is 5 days later, so I will have to be a smart eater with minimal "it's vacation! what the heck?!" mentality. LOL
 
I'm back

Hi everyone

I just made it back from NJ last night. I had an awesome time. We were a party of 18, 8 kids included and 6 of them were under 2 years of age and using diapers....

BUT, I got to see my whole family, we actually had a great father's day since all the kids and grandkids were around. I met 3 nices and 2 nephews this time. Oh my God, the youngest one is only 4 months, so adorable!!! She was smiling all the time with her mouth wide open and her bright eyes, she melted my heart

I have been feeling great, no nausea or sickness for a week now and I stopped taking Zofran already, I hope it's gone for good!

Jen, what a great surprise! your mother's intuition was right. Everybody in my family thinks I'm having a girl now and to be honest I would love it too after meeting my 3 nieces

Allison, I'm think we were close to Cathe's gym, but it was crazy and we were driving my sister insane so I didn't even ask her to take even though I would've loved it

Christine, you have gotten great words already. I just wanted to say that I don't think it bothers any of us to hear your concerns, you actually made me feel better when I learned that you lost all the weight after your son's birth. Jen it's right, we all gain weight at different rates but at the end we will be here to encourage each other and lose it together as well

Melanie, how are you doing? I know that the spotting is gone for good but what about the MS?

Ohhh I need to get they're calling me here

Hi to the rest of the girls
 
Precilla~ I still puke about once daily. AMs are toughest.

And I'm so darn sore,....ALL THE TIME. My back, legs, etc.... Whine Whine Whine. I think I just need someone to loosen me up. Oh rats,...here I go,...on my XXX ride. :eek:
 
Hi! Sorry I havent checked in more today. Haley and I have been busy and time just flew by. I will get to more personals tomorrow!! I walked 4 miles this morning.
Pricilla-welcome back!!!
Jen-I love the bedding!! We decided on pink/white gingham...simple but cute. No real theme..just girly....just the way Haley wants it!
Melanie-I would be sure to ask your dr before attempting any workout..jsut to be on the safe side! Sorry you are so sore...maybe a nice long massage!!!
HI Christine, Allison!! I take my 24 week pic tomorrow..I will post and chat more tomorrow!
 
I couldn't believe how expensive bedding sets were either! I put it on the registry so maybe a couple people will chip in and get it. I don't want to go overboard on the theme but I do love monkeys and that green color!

Priscilla- I'm glad you made it home and had a good time. Your niece sounds cute!

Talk to everyone tomorrow! Good night!
 
Jen, I love monkeys too! The bedding set you picked is adorable. Babies R Us has a monkey sheet too, in case you don't have it on your registry yet :)

Don't know if these would work with the furniture you chose, but here are some monkey knobs that look happy and fun:

No workout yesterday or today. But LOTS of carbs. What is going on with me?! I've been eating lots of fruit and veggies, but they aren't satisfying my craving for a salt crunch. I hope I can break the cycle tomorrow...
 
Morning!
Hope everyone slept well. Pretty good here. I did have a hint of heartburn at midnight..must of been those ribs I ate for dinner!!!! but all in all wasnt a bad night. No workout this morning. Haley and I are going to the nature center for an activity, then grocery shopping,then home to wait on my elliptical!! it's supposed to be here between 2-4!
I am 24 weeks today...and baby moves all the time. Sometimes I think she may be moving too much?? It's been so long since Haley I just cannot remember.
Im enjoying some oatmeal then gonna get my arse in gear! BBS

Those knobs are adorable! Thanks for posting!
 
Susan- I had ribs last night too! I made mine in the pressure cooker and they came out so tender! Yum! I splurged on mac-n-cheese too!

I thought I have been sleeping pretty good until my left eye has been twitching the last two days. It usually happens when I am tired or stressed and I am not stressed right now so it must be tired. I woke up last night to pee and I got a leg cramp. I tried drinking a glass of milk and took 1 Tylenol for the soreness and it seemed to help. I really need to make sure I am stretching my legs at night I guess.

Waves to all the preggos! BBL!
 
Jen- I love ribs!!! I splurged on the baked beans...was actually going to make mac-cheese but Haley didnt want any...I love m/c though!
Haley and I are headed out. bbl
 
I'm homesick from work today. I don't think it's just m/s stuff,....b/c i have bad headache, diarrhea, and severe muscle soreness. I think I'm going to soak in a warm bathtub today. EWwwww, Yukkkkk, Urrggghhhhh.....

No more shrimp scampi for me. :(
 
Hey
Busy day here. A friend and her 2 kids have been here swimming all afternoon. I am beat! Did not workout today..but my ellipitcal was just delivered..finally!
Melanie-so sorry you are sick! I hope you are feeling better!
 
Susan, congrats on your elliptical! Which one did you go with?

I"m still sick. I fear that I'm dehydrated. I will go to Urgent Care tomorrow for some i.v.'s. I feel like I've been sick for 3 months straight, it's so exhausting!Will keep you posted,.......
 
Mel! Please keep us posted on how you are doing! HUGS!
I ended up getting the Smooth 3.2 Ellip. Can't wait to get it put together tonight

HOpe everyone slept well. I have gotten in the habbit of waking up at 4:30 wide awake. I was able to stay in bed til dh's alarm went off at 5 then I got up. I feel rested now, but Im sure around lunch I will need a power nap. I bought a glucose monitor last night just to see how thats doing since I had trouble when preg with Haley. 2-4 hours after a meal b/s should be under <140 and >70..mine was 89 last night and 90 this morning...so so far so good.
Today is not too exciting. We'll take Bubbles to the doggie salon this morning, then just hang out and play. Haley loves to play dr..so she put on her scrubs, sets up a waiting room etc....better than Barbies!!
Today will be weights...probably MM...I enjoyed that last week. My weight is still at 129.6. Im just waiting to hit that 130 mark...and I know its coming!
Off to get busy and workout. bbl
 
Melanie- I hope you are feeling better and getting some fluids in you! Dehydration is scary when you are pregnant!

Susan- Oh how I long to be 130 again! I started out at 135 (which is good for me) ;) Can you post pics of your elliptical?

Not a whole lot new to report, once again. Slept pretty good and had no leg cramps last night. I took a warm bath and stretched my legs good last night.

Have a great Friday everyone! BBL!
