Hiya there beautiful mommies!

First.... small *woot* for Chrissy! Yea!!

Amy- I'm sorry you're going through such a tough time. I'm glad that you're talking to your therapist. I know my roommate is taking zoloft, and she loves it. No side effects or anything. Good for you for taking care of yourself.

Morning and hi to all our other wonderful mommies to be!

I'm tired today. And crampy. And irritable. I'm thinking that maybe I'm gonna have some babies real soon. I called my doctor to check in, and am waiting for a call back from her. In the meantime, I'm getting ready for work. For whoever asked, I'm working at one of the hospitals in town... fun, fun. So I suppose that if I do go into labor... lol

Regardless, this is my last week. Its just getting to be too painful to be on my feet that many hours anymore.

See ya all later!

jeepifer · 08-05-2005, 08:39 AM

Hey ladies,

All was well at my weekly appt. yesterday. The baby was measuring exactly right on for size, my blood pressure was stable, and there was just the "usual" trace of protein in my pee. So they're thinking I may hold out until September, which would be great!

We're starting to get ready for the baby, filling the dresser with the 0-3 month clothes (they look SO small now that my DD's wearing 2T!) and picking out a coming home clothing set. Next we'll need to get the carseat ready and the breast pump and bottles out of the closet. Whew!

Chrissy, congrats on the BFP!

Louise, have fun at Indy!

Amy,

Have a good day, everyone!

-- Jenn

jeepifer · 08-05-2005, 08:44 AM

Anastasia, you snuck in on me... I think you've done so amazingly well carrying triplets to 36 weeks -- if they're ready, well, like you said, at least you're in a hospital.

Glad to hear you're not working much longer, though. That must be rough!

mtsofmercy · 08-05-2005, 08:51 AM

Good morning ladies... I may need to join this thread soon. I can test Tuesday.

I am hoping to be one who loses while pregnant and does not gain a freaking ton. LOL.

What kind of plan do you guys follow? Regular eating or low carb of some sort??

Any tips would be great. This will be my 3rd baby.

Snapdragon · 08-05-2005, 09:03 AM

Hi Amber! Good luck!!

It all depends on Morning Sickness. Some moms here are able to follow a modified low carb diet, and other just can't keep down anything but carbs.

If this is your third, I'm sure you already know how your body will respond, and what foods will trigger it. Also keep in mind that you're looking to gain around 25 pounds for baby's health.

Personally, I eat most of my carbs in the morning at breakfast. I find that when I do, I feel better during the day. I don't track what I'm eating, but you made me curious, so I charted my last couple of days worth, and on average, I'm eating about 80g. Sometimes more, sometimes less. Just make sure to get your fruits and veggies in!

mtsofmercy · 08-05-2005, 09:10 AM

What I am thinking is this:

Eat lean meat
Lots of veggies
Low glycemic fruit
Whole grains

But still cut out the white stuff.....

Going to try it at least and see how it works out.

How many calories are you consuming?

gilbabe75 · 08-05-2005, 02:14 PM

Hey ladies...Sending out some hugs to Amy. Good thing about the zoloft. Just so you know...diarrhea is a side effect from it. Usually lasts a few days or so. Very common. You might like that though! Nice change from high iron and lots of constipation!

Kaillean · 08-05-2005, 03:32 PM

Hi girls,

Just a quickie. I'm still swamped trying to get ready for holidays and get all my work done. Looks like we will be leaving on Sunday or Monday depending on when our partners bring the boat back.

I will be working up to the last minute, which sucks. I feel so rushed, and just know I am going to forget a bunch of stuff we'll need on holidays. Oh well.

Yeah, Chrissy! Fingers crossed for you.

Amy, you shouldn't feel guilty about being scared - you're about to embark on a very big and unknown adventure. Plus there's that whole business about actually getting the baby out.

What sane person wouldn't be scared?

Grace, are you guys leaving this weekend? I'm glad I'm not at the super big stage yet, it's so hot here. But it's nice, because June and July had crappy weather. I plan to spend my whole holiday moving between my berth and the ocean for a swim.

With pitstops by the BBQ of course.

I managed to get a bathing suit this morning, 2 actually. A thoroughly humiliating experience. My thighs have turned to jelly!

Okay, I better get back to work. Sorry I am not doing very well on personals right now.

Hugs to all.

K.

Snapdragon · 08-05-2005, 03:42 PM

Kaillean- Sorry about the jelly thighs. That stinks. The ocean sounds like a good deal, though.

Amber- Calories for me are usually around 1200. But lately, all I can do is to keep my energy up. My OB keeps harassing me to eat more, but there's no room. I make my own beef jerky, and I usually snack on that for the better part of the day. lol

I got that return call from the doc, and she said just to keep an eye on things. So I have been. Made it through work, and I'm done with that now. I'm planning on resting up. Tee hee hee.

jojolw · 08-05-2005, 06:50 PM

Afternoon everyone. What a busy day at work today! Made the afternoon fly by though, so that was good. I've decided to go back to the lake tonight after work so I can pick up dd from camp tomorrow. I was going to stay in town tonight and send dh, but I miss her so much I don't care about the extra time or gas it will take for me to go back tonight, and come back to town again tomorrow to work. I just know I won't make it till Monday afternoon to see her!

Melissa! Congratulations on your pregnancy!

Amy - I don't think wanting things in their place makes you obsessive/compulsive. I'm much the same way, and I'm totally anal when it comes to how ANYONE else loads my dishwasher! Maybe we're both o/c!! So sorry to hear about your friends mom, she's had so much to deal with already! My thoughts are with her.

Grace - I hope you get a chance to relax a bit before vacation. This time in pregnancy is so hard!

Anastasia - I still can't believe you're still working! I'm almost relieved to hear you're almost done! Keep us posted on your progress! IT sucks to have a lousy day like you're having, but at this point it's always a "good" sign lol!

Chrissy - I have my fingers crossed for you! I always heard that a positive is a positive no matter how faint, and every time I've been pregnant, i've had a very faint positive that I was sure meant negative, but all 3 times it's been the real deal!

Jenn - glad you had a good appointment. I haven't even started getting things ready, I'm so far behind! I'm excited to get it done though, I know it will seem even closer once I pull out those teeny little clothes!

Amber - I have my fingers crossed for you as well! As far as eating goes, I am the last person you want to ask lol! I eat what I want, when I want, and regret it not at all! I'm sure I will when the 30+lbs I"ve put on refuse to come off, but the way I look at it is, I know how to lose the weight. I've done it before, I can do it again, so for now I will give in to the cravings and to hell with the rest lol!

Kaileen - the bathing suit thing sucks, I know! I feel like a blob in mine, and it feels like my boobs are going to explode out of it! I've been wearing a tank top over it so I'm a little more comfortable. I hope you have a terrific vacation, and if you forget anything, if it's really important (like a toothbrush or deoderant!) you can always get more, so no point in stressing, right? I hope you can relax, you sound like you really need it!!

Hi to anyone I missed, take care mommies and talk to you all later!
