Newest "Moms to Be" Thread

[Laura]

I feel much better, thanks.
MUCH better. Trying to decide what I want to attempt to eat.
Salad should be safe, right? I'm petrified to try anything.. I haven't eaten since 8am and I know thats not good.

I know the italian beef w/pepperochini peppers I made for dinner won't go. well But it smells good!


...anyone noticed there have been TWO threads on the CB today with people announcing their news? I told one about our thread.
I really like coming here and checking in everyone and feeling like I have a place to whine a little. Sometimes I know I get a bit chatty.

Salad could be safe, depending on the dressing and so forth. I have acid reflux (pregnant or not), and the big offenders are dairy, chocolate, spicy stuff, acidic stuff (vinegar, tomato sauce and citrus, for example), and mint. Yogurt, though, seems to be an exception to the dairy rule. One thing that seems to bother me are very sugary foods. Caffeinated drinks and alcohol are also offenders, but pregnant ladies are already restricted. Lay off any carbonated beverages.

I did notice that there were some new pregnancies announced on the CB. It seems like there has been a lot of conceiving going on, lots of DIS babies.

 

[Piecey]

Awwww... That is such a sweet time! My babies have always hid when daddy tries to check them out. He is convinced they hate him.

Aw, thats a bummer!
Tom is so excited. I can't believe he can feel it already.. at first I thought he just wanted to feel it and imagined it so I asked him where he felt it and it was exactly where I'd just felt him move.. so I believe him.

I've had water all day.. and skipped the salad. I had Fruit Loops! I'm sure that was a great choice.
I have horrendous acid reflux too, take something for it daily.. before I got pregnant. Dr. ok'ed me taking it, but I try to avoid it unless I can feel it coming on... I think I've only had to take it 4-5 times so far. Until today.

Hope you ladies have a great evening!

Water gets me.. If i drink tons of water, which I am supposed to.. I get heartburn. how dumb is that?

 

[Piecey]

That is pretty dumb.

Dr. told me to drink milk.. but milk makes me ill, even when i'm not pregnant. So I've stuck with warm water.
I don't know what else to try? The only other stuff I've got around here is lemonade, 7UP, A&W, water and tea. Oh, and orange juice. For my chocolate.

It's really, really mild now.. I feel amazingly better.

So glad you are feeling better!!

DD1 lost her second front tooth tonite. I cannot believe she is getting so big!! Glad we were home for it.

I think we are getting close here....I have had GI problems ALL day which is classic "Kellie's going into labor" and now the contractions are in my back which is also classic labor for me...

So we are running around the house trying to get things in order. DH cant stop smiling ... might be soon ....cannot believe I procrastinated this stuff KNOWING she was coming...we just pulled the binder out w/ our list to pack the bag!!! Wrapped some siblings gifts ... and are re-writing the girls schedules as we have no school tomorrow, tickets to the theatre for Good Night Moon and The Runaway Bunny ... haircuts on Saturday am ... playdates ... a girl scout karate event that even WE don't know how to get there...ayayayayayay.

Ok. deep breath ... probably a false alarm....

( and who said THEY were chatty?!?!?!?!) thanks for putting up w/ my constant rambling...

That was me.
The one who seems to be constantly online.. because I get popup notifcations when someone replies to this thread (and I get an e-mail) and I'll take any excuse to avoid homework.


That is so exciting!! Keep us uptodate.
Well. As updated as you can with all the stuff you've gotta do!

Hope she comes soon, can't wait to see pictures!

aaaaaaaaaaaaaccccccccccccckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!!!

it was a false alarm!!! i simply cannot believe this!!! but now i am ready to go. i guess god was getting me mentally prepared???

i finally went to sleep early morning and today - nothing. the contractions we LONG last night, but not close enough together!

my friend and her husband just picked up my kidlets...they are taking FIVE kids now to The Runaway Bunny and out to lunch ... mmmmm ... I think they are insane!!!! My kids were fine not to go - its just me always dragging them to things, they are happy to play together at home!!!

But ahhhh, the quiet here is blissful. I am going to go soak it up ... and make my MIL a grocery list. She offered to go to the store before she heads home today after her conference ends. Maybe b/c I fed her frozen blueberries last night b/c all we have left fresh is oranges???

She keeps saying that she has never in 15 years of my relationship with her son seen the actual shelf of our refridgerator b/c I ALWAYS have so much food on hand ... I LOVE to grocery shop.

Does anyone else love grocery shopping? I even shop sometimes for my friend (the one who has my kids right now). I take her debit card and list, as well as mine and do all our shopping at once. its a beautiful arrangement! Or it WAS when I could still walk!

for new mommies...SAMS seems to be THE BEST price on diapers if you are going w/ one of the name brands...I have priced it w/ all three kids (we use pampers) and they always beat the other stores by like a nickel per diaper on Pampers. We have not had luck w/ Huggies...although I have heard moms of boys like those better sometimes.

have a great day everyone.

I love huggies for my DS, but when he was an infant I swore by pampers swaddlers.

Hi everyone, I just wanted to jumo in as I just got a BFP two days ago. I am still in a bit of shock as I just went off the pill last month so this is my first month off. Anyway, my DR appointment is not until 8 weeks which is Feb 20th. So according to the charts online - I am due October 2nd. It is baby #2. My other child will be 5 next month.

Kristine

How wonderful. October 2nd is my birthday.

Sorry... I was getting excited for you! I've never had so few contractions. I don't think I'm going to induce anytime soon...I really want to go into labor on my own. Wishing us both luck!

PPSA (Pregnancy Public Service Announcement)

If you are experiencing morning sickness and you haven't been able to stomach your prenatals, DO NOT decide to try and take them one morning BEFORE WORK when you're developing another cold!! You will regret it mightily.

Dumb, dumb, dumb.
Hope everyone else is having a better day!

Sarah, I could never stomach my prenatals with DS. So this pregnancy I decideed to try it again because I get so guilt ridden for not taking them...bad idea, I was sick as a dog everytime I tried. I tried taking them in the morning before bed, cutting them in half. Nothing seemed to work. DH just doesnt want me trying anymore. Dr. told mer to shelf them and try them again once I feel up to it. Right now they are still on the shelf ...my M/S has lessened but it still attacks occassionally and now I have an awful sinus cold. I just took some sudafed which my OB approved.

Hope you feel better, enjoy your lunch if you can!

I love huggies for my DS, but when he was an infant I swore by pampers swaddlers.

We have been using the Pamper swaddlers. Thats what the hospital used and gave us loads of when we left. We tried a few Huggies for newborns, but they are huge! So they get put away until DS is a little bigger, then we'll try them again.

We like the swaddlers with wetness indicator, but not all have it. And you have to search the package really well to find if they are or not.

Our Sams didn't have the Pampers swaddlers for newborns. Anything else is too big at this point, but we will be getting diapers there once the sizes match up.

I feel exactly like I did early in the pregnancy--super nauseous and I'm having trouble drinking water. It makes me wonder how much of the early sickness completely because of this horrible pill! I do remember that when I finally gave up on it, I started feeling better right away.

My Dr told me to try Flintstones vitamins (2) and some folic acid. They get me the vitamins wo making me sick.

I ate some bread and crackers, so cross your fingers they stay down and I can eat lunch!

What is it about Huggies that are better for baby boys?

 

[ADAMANDLISA]

What is it about Huggies that are better for baby boys?

Huggies have always worked well for us, and we have boys. I'm not sure why they would be better for boys than girls.

How are little Collin and your wife doing?
