Heidi-M · 10-14-2003, 12:09 AM

I didn't get a chance to read through any of the posts from the weekend or Monday. It was very hectic here as it was my daughters 2nd birthday Monday and her party was on Sunday. Lot's to do over the weekend so not much time for anything else. Anyway, I just wanted to post her 2 year pictures and show her off.

I ate complete crap over the weekend. I'm talking pasta, bread, fries ... you name it, it found its way into my mouth. I'm on a big time *mend* this week so wish me luck.

I'm pooped and headed to bed. I'll be back later with replies. Sorry ...

LessCarbsMoreMe · 10-14-2003, 12:28 AM

What a gorgeous little girl!!!

Hope you get a good sleep and your *mend* works for ya!

I got a letter from the hospital telling me I have an appt next Monday at the ante natal clinic. I am a little worried as my next M/wife appt is next Friday, so why do they need to see me so soon before that?!

The only thing I can think of is the fainting, but thank God, no more of that. I have been feeling light headed on occasion, but nothing so far as fainting. Ah well, will have to wait and see.

Hope you all have a good day - I didn't make it back onto the computer last night - I fell asleep just before the DDs went to bed and woke up at bedtime (10 o/c) - how sad is that?! Isn't this supposed to be getting better at 12 weeks?!

Sometimes I just HATE how emotional being pregnant has made me!

I have just had to lock myself away in an office so I could have a cry, simply because I was dealing with an obstructive person. Normally, I give back as good as I get, but today I could feel the tears welling up, and I ended up saying 'it doesn't matter' and walking away just so they wouldn't see me cry!

I feel like a complete and utter wimp, and it just confirms all that normal male guff about women being the weaker species and not being able to hack it!

Ok, deep breathing and getting back to normal - ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!

I feel your pain! I cry at just about anything anymore, and get my feelings hurt very easily. I’m also taking things way too personally. Ugh!

MrsIndpndent · 10-14-2003, 05:50 AM

Heidi - Kayla is PRECIOUS! I love her pose on the left, and her expression is just too cute in the pic on the right.

MrsIndpndent · 10-14-2003, 06:03 AM

I know gaining is good, but I think at first it's a little startling, ya know?! I mean, I'm so used to watching the scales either stay the same or go down and seeing them go up is no fun! I'm sure I'll get used to it...I mean, what choice do I have, lol!!! I got on this morning and couldn't tell if I'm 146 or 147, but I think closer to 147, which would mean I gained 3 pounds. That sort of seems like a lot for being only 7 weeks pregnant, I dunno!

I am having a hard time accepting that gain is normal - I have put on 5 lbs in the 12 weeks so far, and even standing near the scales is enough to make me want to panic!

Pfgal - love the hammock picture!

misbadu · 10-14-2003, 07:28 AM

Good Morning all.

I am feeling great today, but I have to admit I have such a weakness for chocolate. I can not say no. Today someone brought into work these chocolate candies with toffee and almonds in them. (just happens to be my favorite) So I had a whole fist full of them. They were sooo good. I am sooo bad! I have to say one thing I have lost is self control. Before getting pregnant I was so in control. I did not even eat foods with artificial sweetener let alone sugar. Not even fruit. I was sooo strict Atkins and it was easy for me, no cravings nothing. I actually enjoyed what I was eating. When I got pregnant that slowly went out the window, and I swear some days if I do not have something sweet I will cry. I think my baby has a sweet tooth.

I am rounding my 6th month and still I have not bought one single baby thing. I decided I need to kick it into gear and get my head together. Got to start planning. So I am headed to this little specialty baby shop today on my lunch that has all kinds of strange and unique baby things. Hopefully I will get inspired!!

Heidi - what a cutie you have there! Very sweet pix.

Less Carbs - I was really emotional for a while, but now I have really leveled out. Somewhere in the 2nd trimester I just got grounded and felt much better. You will get there.

Lauren - don't worry about your 3lb gain, that's seems pretty minor, as long as you are eating well and keeping healthy you will be fine.

To everyone else...have a great Tuesday!!!!

Sarajewel · 10-14-2003, 07:32 AM

Morning Mommies-

I gained too. 2 pounds in less than a week. I have been eating too much and too much of the wrong stuff - junk food this weekend. Sigh. I'm still craving carbs - when I think of what I used to eat in OWL my stomach just turns....

I think the morning sickness is a bit better - or maybe I'm just getting better at holding it at bay. The fatigue is still hanging about. And FINALLY I'm having some breast changes (sorry if TMI) they all said it was such a big pregnancy symptom and nothing happened untill this week - wish I could blame the 2 pounds on them...

Gotta go be a professional now... Have a good day all - will check in later!

From the time I started this WOE I LOVED going shopping - all these new clothes that fit me all of a sudden! Now all I do is buy things for the baby!! We have already bought the pushchair and car-seat, and I spent the weekend buying wool and knitting. Baby now has two jumpers and two dinky little hats, as well as two blankets!!

Let us know what you see there and if you buy!

Slightly off topic - I tried to weigh my breasts once!! LOL! Got DH to stand behind me while I stood on the scales and sort of hold them up, then I weighed without him holding them!! I don't think we got an accurate measurement of how much they weighed, but it was a good laugh!

I'm eating pretty well, but like you - I find that some of my self control has headed out the window!!

ME TOO!!! When I think of eating cheese cubes, etc... I just want to yak!!! I want nothing to do with it now, and want/need carbs due to this nausea. I think I'm also getting better at managing it...let's hope I can keep it at bay!

Only because I am so big to start with - I managed to lose over 70 lbs before I became pregnant, and am petrified of putting it all back on again! *sigh*

Jefinner · 10-14-2003, 08:09 AM

DIANE - Your little girl is gorgeous!!!

SHEREE - I hate being so emotional too! The other day I almost cried when I burned my grilled swiss and turkey sandwich. It was even salvageable... I just had to take one piece of bread off, and scrape the cheese off, and replace the bread... SHEESH! It'll get better though!

LAUREN - WOW! Great pic! I would sell both of my pinky toes to have those legs!

I wouldn't worry about the weight gain, just work on HOW you gain it... Eat as healthily as you can! That's what my midwife tells me, which is much more of a relief than my OB with Allison telling me I could only gain 20 pounds! I showed him! (Gained 57 pounds...

)

SARA - YAY! You have bigger boobies now!

Well, I don't know how well/bad I'm doing on the weight gain, but I THINK I've only gained a couple so far. I weighed at Hank's mom's and I weighed in at 180, and I was somewhere around 177 before I found out.

You hussy!!!!

That is GREAT!!! A couple pounds at 14 weeks is awesome!!

10-14-2003, 08:13 AM

Good Morning All!

How is everyone doing? I hope all is well.

PFGal don't worry I have gained about 3-4 pounds myself. This weekend I hate pasta, doughnuts, waffles and so much other stuff it didn't make since. I think that the cravings are kicking in and it's hard to kick them. Also during the 6-7 week of pregnancy the baby doubles in size. So I'm contributing the weight gain to that. LOL

Today I feel just plan sick. It took me 2 hours to get ready for work because I kept running back to the bathroom. I was late to work but luckily I have an understanding boss.

I hope when I go to the doctor on the 28th I can hear the heartbeat.

Yesterday felt so good being off but I didn't get to rest at all. I need sleep!!!!! I think I will nap on my lunch break!

Blimey, I wish!!! Will just have to try and keep the total gain as low as possible!

MrsIndpndent · 10-14-2003, 08:16 AM

I'm SO with you, Cynthia!! I really didn't realize I would crave carbs this bad. Also, I didn't get sick with Mackenzie, and didn't expect to this time either. I mean, I know anything can happen, but I figured I wouldn't get the sickness. At least I'm not throwing up, but still! The thought of most Atkins-friendly foods makes my stomach turn, and I crave things like grilled cheese, etc...

LessCarbsMoreMe · 10-14-2003, 08:17 AM

Cynthia

We must have been posting at the same time. (((HUGS))) on the constant running back and forth to the bathroom - I have the nausea, but not the physically throwing up.

Jefinner · 10-14-2003, 08:17 AM

Well, that doesn't say much though... With Allison, I only gained a pound a month for the first four months, then BAM, 11 pounds one month. Then it all escalated to a whopping 57 in the end. Hopefully, I can avoid that this time.

Jefinner · 10-14-2003, 08:18 AM

((((CYNTHIA)))) Poor thing!

Sinnrah · 10-14-2003, 08:32 AM

My weight gain veries all the time. I just woke up to a three lb weight gain. so it may just be fluid retention. when I went to my docs appointment last week it said I was 119 then in four days it went back down to 113. So I always blame it on fluid.

Dont worry I am sure everything is fine.
