Re: Pregnant Mama's Check-in!

  • How are you feeling?  Pretty good.  Starting to feel huge!

    Second Tri Mamas-how's baby's movements?  He's starting to move around a lot!  Can definitely tell his sleep patterns.

    Weight loss/gain?  up about 17 pounds total ::sigh::

    Cravings/Aversions?  Don't have any aversions.  Cravings come and go but nothing really weird.

    How's DH doing? Is he gaining weight?  Good.  Stressed with work and school.  He says he hasn't gained any weight but his pants are getting a little snugger.  I think part of it is his busy schedule.

    Any bump pics you want to share?  @24 weeks:  I popped!

  • How are you feeling?   Like 10lbs of sh*t in a 5lb bag.  obv the frosting last night doesn't help.  but what a strange thing it is to KNOW not to eat something on one hand but to not care on the other...  all of my pants are tighter which kills me.  was looking at my fb profile pic from this summer and almost broke down cuz i looked sooooo ridiculously much thinner than i am now...  end rant.
    Second Tri Mamas-how's baby's movements?   not sure on this one yet...
    Weight loss/gain?  Jeez... well... 16lbs (right behind ya Mel - but I'm 8 weeks behind ya!  YIKESERS)
    Cravings/Aversions?  Chocolate, carbs, sugar, everything not good for me?  check.
    How's DH doing?  Is he gaining weight?  ha - we are actually getting him started w/ my trainer soon, he's always been a tad over weight...  other than that he's fine... tho not always receptive to my whining and likes to add, well, you wanted to do this, which sometimes makes me want to punch him in the face.  that may just be the hormones talking...

    Any bump pics you want to share?   no, i'm so bloated - i actually feel embarrassed that people are going to be like omg your ONLY 17 weeks?  as i look huge.  vest and zip ups and i are on a first name basis.

     

    Mel you look fabulous! (ps is that an old navy sweater?  lol if it is i have the same one!)

  • @mel I LOVE the belly pic! Its a full on baby belly!! YAY!
  • How are you feeling? Alright, tired and hungry all the time, and my nipples hurt so bad. First Tri Mamas-any morning sickness? Not yet! Second Tri Mamas-how's baby's movements?  Weight loss/gain? No weight gain, just bloated Cravings/Aversions? Nothing as of yet How's DH doing?  Is he gaining weight? DH is good, I think he is still processing everything since we are so early on. He is trying to understand why I am anxious for December 19th to get here for our first appointment!

    Any bump pics you want to share? Nothing to show yet!

  • How are you feeling? Okay besides this cold that my sister gave me over Thanksgiving. First Tri Mamas-any morning sickness?Second Tri Mamas-how's baby's movements? I have a little ninja in there! He's always kicking away and H is convinced that baby gives him high fives. He'll put his hand on my belly and ask for a high five and get kick to the middle of his hand! It's crazy. Weight loss/gain? I'm up 10lbs. I'm actually doing much better than I thought I would be because I feel like I eat everything I can get my hands on. Cravings/Aversions? I don't really crave anything, but sometimes I just randomly want a salad. Sweets still turn my stomach in anything but tiny quantities even though I really want to eat them. How's DH doing?  Is he gaining weight? I don't think H is gaining weight, he's up too much doing things for me! 

    Any bump pics you want to share? I'll put one up from Thanksgiving sometime later today or tomorrow. H got some good pics of me in front of the Christmas trees at Busch Gardens.

  • @Holly:  No not an Old Navy sweater, but a JcPenny one!  Got it for like $2 a few years ago.  Works great since it's a bit longer!  Hang in there with your weight gain...I feel your pain!

    @Laurie:  Thanks!  

    @Liz:  Shaun would be jealous!  Every time I tell him baby is moving and he goes to feel, baby stops!

  •   How are you feeling?  Good, actually. So much better than in 1st tri! Second Tri Mamas-how's baby's movements? I've been feeling him move around for a couple weeks now, and the kicks are definitely getting stronger.  He moves a ton during my ultrasounds so I think I have an active baby in there. Weight loss/gain? I'm up about 6-7 pounds from where I started, which I guess isn't bad for being halfway there. But, I lost a few pounds in 1st tri so I've actually put on 10 pounds in the last 2 months. Cravings/Aversions? Mostly sweets, but I craved those when I wasn't pregnant. I just want to eat everything! How's DH doing?  Is he gaining weight? Actually, we were just talking about this last night because I realized he is putting on weight - and he was heavy to start with. I think this is mostly because I used to cook more healthy stuff when I was more concerned about my own weight, so I need to get back to that for his sake.  Any bump pics you want to share? I don't have one on my work computer, will have to post one later. But I am definitely showing!

  • How are you feeling? I'm feeling really good. I'm EXHAUSTED, but the sickly feelings were helped majorly by switching to a new prenatal and taking them right before bed. First Tri Mamas-any morning sickness? See above. But, kind of scared about "no sickness"...Wish I had SOME feelings of physical pregnancy...beside my enormous fun bags!Second Tri Mamas-how's baby's movements? Weight loss/gain? Haven't weighed in for a while, but still in the same jeans just fine...Cravings/Aversions? Um, pickles, how typical, right? Really wanted some cheesecake this morning. Aversions have gone away for right now. A few weeks ago NOTHING sounded good.How's DH doing?  Is he gaining weight? He's doing fine. Not gaining weight...not losing...haha! Yea, I said it! ; )

    Any bump pics you want to share? I'm still just "bloat"...boooo....

    I DIED laughing at your first answer! And Jeff is guilty of ALL of your second answer. He'll be lucky if he survives the next 6 1/2 months! Hahah! : )

  • How are you feeling? Fri will put me at 19 weeks and I still have daily morning sickness, though it is definitely less intense then it was 4 weeks ago! I am still waiting to feel all the great things people say come with the 2nd Trimester....
    Second Tri Mamas-how's baby's movements? I feel little wiggles every now and then but nothing consistent.
    Weight loss/gain? At my apt. last week I was up 2lbs and shocked!! I feel like I'm up 15 to 20...I told my H that I must be loosing somewhere and gaining in my belly because I feel like I look like I've gained more then 2lbs!
    Cravings/Aversions? No cravings, but still having aversions to meat ( I can eat it but raw meat makes me gag), and apples (really weird I know... I have thrown up every time I have had an apple since about 6 weeks so I just gave up on them.)
    How's DH doing?  Is he gaining weight? I think when we found out it was a boy it became really real to him, and he is of course excited but I think that the realization that we are going to have a real life baby here in 5 months is just now sinking in, he is now more in the planning mode. As for weight gain I would say not at all...

    Any bump pics you want to share? I was just thinking the other day about how I have been slacking on taking weekly pictures ( I think we have taken 2 up to now) But I will post when we take the next one. =)
