Pregnancy Info HOME

I am due aug. 1st sb. yeah, i think i am getting sick too. and i have finals tomorrow and thursday. well hope everyone has a good night!

I know this is in response to yesterday's post, but YES! Patti, I have major days where my appet_te is insatiable. I too will eat everything in sight, good or bad for me. Danielle, I get that alot, with the hot dizzies. I was in Motherhood yesterday and I had to bend over to get some blood to my head so I didn't pa__s out. You should probably eat whether you are hungry or not. My allergies have been kicking my a__s lately so I took a benadryl yesterday at about 6:00 (if I take them too close to bedtime, I get all jittery) Well, I don't know if it's because I took it on a not-so-full tummy or what, but that thing knocked me on my a__s! It was a struggle to get the kids into bed before I collapsed. And right as I layed down my son came in having trouble breathing (asthma). Poor little guy had to get the stuff for the nebulizer out of the cabinet himself because I literally couldn't peel myself off the bed. (Let me clarify, he wasn't like gasping for air or anything, he was just coughing a little and he could reach the nebulizer viles, so I wasn't like neglecting him or anything!) Looks like we might be getting the furniture outta my house tomorrow! Yay! Then I can start getting to the nitty gritty of everything. I can't wait to be settled in SOMEWHERE-anywhere! We have an office meeting this morning and I have specifically requested donuts! Yum, can't wait! That is a benefit to being preggo....not too many people tell you no when it comes to food!

Morning girls... Well I finally got a call from my doc office and my test came back normal!!!! Yay. what a relif. Im super busy so I will be on in a bit but had to share!

morning ladies!! Ekay that is so great that you guys are getting closer to be being done with the move and getting settled in at your rents. It will be a big relief I am sure! I am so impressed with you for doing the whole thing on your own and not having a major meltdown at the same time!! :) Today, they appet_te doesn't seem so rediculous! Maybe because I know I have to go at 11 to do the glucose testing and I don't want to shoot the scales out of the water! And I have to do a weigh in tommarow morning - Yikes!! :{ Momma - so glad to hear that your results came back normal!! Phew that's a relief! And you didn't ahve to opena jumbo can of whoopa__s on the nurse lady today either! :)

I know she got lucky. I was just so ahppy to hear that I was okay and so was Mason I didin't care. Plus she called me 1st thing when they opened.... So I guess I can forgive her.... I am so hungry today. I am going to order a salad and kids chkn tenders from Logans today.... Yummmm

mmm that sounds good!! I have to go at 11 for the glucose test - wish me luck! Then I think I may have to go for a burger!

Alicia, that is so rad about your glucose test!! No worries now. Salad sounds yummy. So does a burger, but because I am broke at the moment (c'mon Friday!), I will have to settle for good ol' trusty pb and j. I have probably eaten 100 peanut b___ter and grape jam sandwiches since I've been pregnant. I got the "your tummy is so small" comment again today from my boss's wife. Then I get the ignorant comment of "I bet she's gonna be small!" I'm like, no she actually measuring big dangit! Maybe I'll start getting a belly at, oh, I don't know, 8 months!

hey ladies....where in the world are you all today?? I just got back from my glucose test. That orange drink is pretty gross stuff, but it is over. How is everyones afternoon??

Hey Patti, I actually enjoyed my glucose drink. Of course, I was thirsting to death. Did they make you fast at all? I know Alicia mentioned earlier today she was going to have a lot of work and I think Danielle is taking tests at school. Well, I had my meltdown of the day already. Carl hasn't been asked to go offshore since he got this job about a month ago. He's been working in the shop, which isn't bad, it's just not where the money is. Well, he's been complaining and I've been getting worried because we really, really needed him to go offshore financially. Well he just called me at 12:30 and said he had to rush and get some clothes together because he had to be back at the shop by 1:00 to go offshore. I started bawling because I didn't get to see him last weekend and I got my hopes up for seeing him this weekend and now who knows how long it'll be before I see him. :-( But it's what we asked for, so I guess I need to suck it up. I'm such a baby this pregnancy. I cry over everything!

Oh Ekay - that is c___ppy. I can totally understand how you are feeling right now. Yes, you wanted him to go offshore, but in good notice to be prepared for that. Not at the very last minute like that. It is really hard to justu have them go and not knwo when you will see them next. I am here anytime you want to freak out! Hopefully he wont be gone too long and you will get to see him shortly. Just try and think of the benefits that will come of it and although it doesn't make it any easier now, it will help out in the long run. And thankfully you will be moving soon and will have some other adult interaction to help pa__s the time. Hugs for you. I did not have to fast at all for mine. I called and double checked three times!lol! I don't think I would have made it if I had too! I eat way too often! I thought baby woudl have freaked out after all that sugary drink, but she was suprisingly quiet! Weird.

Hi you guys, I just wanted to check in. I've been put on 3rd all this week, so my sleep is a bit screwed up yet again. I'm glad to hear that your guys glucose tests are coming back normal. For those of you whose doc told them no news is good news, I would call to make sure. They waited over a week to tell me I failed the 1st test. If any of you happen to have to go for the 3 hr test, the sugar drink there has twice the amount of sugar in the same size bottle. I gagged the whole time I was trying to get it down. Erin, I'm so sorry that your Carl has to leave on such short notice. I don't know how you and Patti can handle being away from your hubbies for such a long time. At one point in our marriage, Keith's cousin was trying to talk him onto taking a job with the railroad, but he would have only been home 54 days a year. We were newly weds at the time, so it didn't take much for Keith to turn it down. I would go crazy without having him here just to irritate me if nothing else. I know your situation is a little different and Carl needed that job, but I still admire you for holding it together. And Patti, only seeing your dh a handful of times since being pregnant. Aw, tears are threatening to spill (sorry, I've been teary eyed since Sunday). I didn't check in yesterday, but Keith was so sweet for Mother's day. About 2 years ago, I was going through my 2nd miscarriage at the end of April and the first of May. This was my 2nd one in 4 months. I was heartbroken. He bought me a necklace that had a mother and 2 babies on it. He said that even though I couldn't hold them, I could keep them close to my heart. Anyway, this year I told him that I was so nervous because everything was going so well, that I didn't want him to acknowledge that I was pregnant at all. I woke up Saturday and saw 3 blushing roses on the counter in our kitchen. I rolled out of bed to see what was going on, and he had went out and bought a card to a mother from her daughter. He signed Brynley's name to it, and I teared up (from happiness though). Also, we have not been able to agree on a diaper bag because he wanted a black one and I wanted a brown and pink one. He bought the brown and pink one with the reasoning that it was ok because we needed one anyway, and it would be used everyday. I told my mom and tears came to her eyes!! Then Sunday, I was so hormonal, I couldn't stop crying for anything. I have no idea what was wrong, but I cried a lot. I ended up leaving my parents and going home, just so I didn't have to be around anyone. I used te excuse that I work 3rd on the weekends and I needed sleep. No lie though, I did sleep most of the day.

Ohhhh Hopeful --- YOu got me crying! What a amazing hubby you have to do something so sweet and thoughtful for you. You are very lucky and you deserve it all. I am so glad to that had a wonderful mothers day and glad to hear from you! Any new pics up yet?? :)

LORD!!!!! My feet look like cows feet!!!! They are huge... Sorry I haven't been on been supa dupa busy. Erin- Ima hug ya through the internet... Get real close to the monitor... (((((((((hug)))))))) Ahhhh I feel better don't you...lol. I am doing a huge show downtown this weekend... You can check it out google nashvillecrawfishboil and it will show you all our msuical guest....lol

I was going to mention this earlier, but I forgot. First, I'll do a little background. My pawpaw died when I was 6. Ever since then, my granny (dad's mom) has never stopped telling me how fat I was/am. She was heartless when I was growing up saying that I would never get married b/c no man wanted a fat wife. If I didn't stop eating, I'd be big a a side of a barn. And, lots of hurtful, crazy things. Anyway, I tended to ignore her over the years. Well, she's 92 now, and has sypmtoms of alzheimers(sp?). We've told her repeatedly that I'm pregnant, having a daughter, even carry the u/s pics to show her. Sunday, when we got there. She commented on how big my belly was. I told her it was b/c I was 7 months pregnant. Then, for the next 2 hours, she berated me constantly for being fat. I finally told Keith I was ready to go home. My mom was probably more p__sed than I was. My Dad said that I was over-reacting and needed to look over her b/c she is so old. But still, this has been happening for 20 years now!! To top it off, she refused to hug me when I left "because her arms wouldn't fit around my belly". I think that's part of what got my hormones stirred up Sunday. I feel like I'm being childish in a way, but I don't get why she says these things. It's always been this way. My dad doesn't understand why I'm not thrilled about going back around her. Don't get me wrong. I do love her, but sometimes, it's hard to be around her. Theres my pity party for the day. Sorry if I depress anyone with me.

Hopeful I know just what you mean. Jeremy gmom is crazy and everytime I talk to her she ask me if I am getting fat bcuz she knows i am pregnant well i told his Mom what her Mom had said and she wa slike did you tell her you was fat before... I was like look who is talking but with them they are always like that so I just over look it. but I have great news.yesterday this guy who is an ex but we r still friends called me to tell me he was at babies r us. and that the car seat we reg for was not the safest. he said if it matterd which he got. I said no... Well he asked me to meet him there since he was on his bike and he would have them wrap it and if i could just bring it to the shower... i was like sure... so my mom and i get there and he has 2 huge boxes that are wrapped.... well he gives me this paper and we leave and come home and im like what in the world did he buy.... I get to looking at the paper and its a warranty.... a warranty for a $149.00 car seat and a warranty for $169.00 stroller that match and are orange... we got to looking and he spent $400!!!!!!! with tax and the 4 yr warranty plan on both.... im like omg hunter i cant belive u did that.

Leah, you're husband sounds like a real keeper. I had to put on the eyeball dams for that one. I would like to extend my sympathy for such harsh words from a family member though. That is just awful, although I know your grandma is old and probably not fully aware of what she is saying, it's hard not to take everything personally, especially right now! If I am eating sometimes my stepdad will make pig noises (and the history there is he used to do that too when I was a kid and impressionable and sensitive and both my sister and I suffered mild complexes for it, although we shrug about it now). Well, at least now when he makes those noises I can tell him the Shut the hell up and tell him he could stand to lose some poundage himself without getting smacked across the face. Plus now my mom will tell him to stop, whereas when I was a kid and it probably mattered more, she kept her mouth shut. That's a tangent though and I love my stepdad now and he would do anything in the world for me. ANYWAYS, try not to let it get you down. You are beeeautiful and pregnant. So there! Alicia, I can always depend on you to make me smile. I got real close to my computer and now I feel better. Thankyou very much. :-) My poor husband hasn't slept since night before last! He drove to Lousiana after getting some machinery ready to go in Houston last night. Got to LA at about 2 in the morning, hopped on a crew boat for 2 hours to take him to a rig and then he called me at 6:30 this morning saying he was on a jack boat (whatever that is) cutting pipe. Poor little guy. I hate to say this though, but that's a helluva lot of overtime though! I wish I could just hug him right now though. Ah, eyeball dams-quick!
