Pregnancy Info HOME

Good morning ladies!! Kara good luck with the mortgage, I know how that is. . we have been in our new house for 9 months!! WOW I just shocked myself. . .almost a year and we still have a dirt backyard :0(. We have to have the backyard at least started with what we want to do within the first year of living there (we live in an a__sociation) we better get started. We bought the kids a huge trampoline for Christmas and it is still in out garage, haa haa. Anyhow, Ekay I think we always switch positions when one is not worrying the other is. . .I have not felt the baby since yesterday sometime :0(, and now I am getting concerned. I walked out of the house this morning with a huge gla__s of Orange juice, lets see if it gets this little one moving!!

Good morning everyone. I have lots of reading to do.

still have lots of reading too do. Kara, congrats on your boy and sorry about the tech. Jennifer, just took a look at your pictures and they are very nice. I am going to have to get someone to take a picture of me. I could put a picture of my dog on there, to get it started.

Yeah put up any pictures NM I love looking at pics!! :0)

Yeah, put up any pictures you have, I love looking at pictures too. Now we just have to get Kara to get some up, and we will all have some. Where has Lucky and Citrouille been?

I am in the page editor and it will not let me add photos..

Okay, I am a dork, I put an '@' instead of a '.' What a beautiful family, Jennifer!

NM did you go under tools and to pictures?

Thanks Ekay. Do you have any nrew pictures up?

No new pics yet! I still feel fat. :-( I want to put pics up of my kiddos, but I am paranoid (not necessarily about you guys) . I don't know, I am really paranoid about that kind of stuff, like creepy people checking out my kids.

Hi girls, sorry I haven't been on lately! I've been really busy again with school exams etc and with work stuff! I keep getting translating jobs that i don't want to turn down even though I am impossibly busy! I went to see my gyn today and everything seems to be going well. I got my AFP results back and everything is perfect no problems, sigh of relief! However, I am FAT!!! oh my god... I hadn't been weighing myself at home and when I stepped on the scales there I almost died!!! 8 pounds in only one month...... man... anyhow, she didn't say anything about it.. just kind of said that it was a lot.. my uterus is big she said too.. hope that's normal! It is up to my belly b___ton now! This is going to sound stupid, but I never actually saw the "bottom" of my belly b___ton before now! I have a really deep belly b___ton, and now it is really not so deep at all anymore! Has anyone else been experiencing leg cramps at night? mine have been cramping really bad as if I've been doing a lot of exercise (which is not the case!) Strange, doctor thinks it might be a lack of magnesium... hope you all are well! As soon as I have some more time I'll read all your posts :)

I know what you mean Ekay, but I try not to worry about that stuff.

Citrouille....Good to hear that your AFP Tests came back good. I know how you feel with the weight gain, I have been walking alot lately hoping that it will slow it down some, if I keep gaining the way I have been I am going to be in alot of trouble after I have this baby. It is just so easy to gain weight when you are pregnant, becasue you want to eat more to feed the baby. Also the belly b___ton thing, mine is an outtie now, it is so weird to look at the inside of your belly b___ton when you are not used to it. I still don't have that dark line though. Do any of you have it yet??

Hi Citrouille, nice to hear from you!! You know what I had not had any leg cramps until last night, I sat straight up in the middle of the night and had the worst cramp right behind my right knee. I had them along time ago way before pregnancy and everyone said I was lacking potasium and so I need to eat bananas, I am actually going to go to the store and get some!!

oh and as for the belly b___ton, mine is still an innie, just sits a little higher now! and no dark line yet, keeping my fingers crossed I don't get that or stretch marks!!

Glad to hear you are doing well Citrouille. Mine is up to my belly b___ton too, and I wouldn't worry about the weight gain. You are such a little thing still. The weight from the 1st baby comes off pretty easy too (at least for me it was). Now the 2nd was way harder for me. I am trying to be very diligent this time (especially with my 20 pound extra cushion) No 40-60 lbs for this mama! My goal is not to go over 185 and I am at 165 right now. It's those last 10-12 weeks that I really pack it on! I think I am going to sneak home, pay some bills, eat some food and take a nap. By the way Jennifer, I have been like that ever since I was young. I would get scared when my parents would converse with strangers because they didn't know whether or not they were murderers or something. Silly phobia. I'm probably going to be the mom that won't let her kid ride the bike down the block by himself. It's so strange how much things have changed since I was younger.
