Long Time No See - Now with BIG news

 Just stopping by to say hi, weight loss has been slow for me but I'm eating right, have few medical complications, take no daily meds, and I exercise and actually enjoy it. so even if the scale isn't moving I'm okay with that right now...


But for the big news.....



IM 7 WEEKS PREGNANT. I'm way excited. Me and hubby had been trying for 5 or so months, I got sick of morning temps and charting and feeling like a science experiement so we stopped trying in late August. I got pregnant around the first week of September lol. First OBGYN visit is Friday, wish me luck! Also, let me know the one thing you wish you had done or not done during pregnancy, labor, ot the first few weeks of your newborns life...thanks!

Hey! Congrats!!!

As a Mom and an RN who has worked in the Birthplace for over 20 years, my advice is to just go with the flow.... don't have high expectations about the Labor and delivery timeframe. Just enjoy the event! It's a wonderful time that you will remember the rest of your life. Don't set yourself up for disappointment by hoping for the "picture perfect" birth. Your priority is for a healthy newborn. If you need to take something for pain - do it. If things happen and you need a c/section - allow it to happen without feeling sad or disappointed. Things happen, they can be out of your control - and once again - what you really want is a healthy newborn and a healthy Mommy!

Enjoy your pregnancy! I loved being pregnant! A tiny life is growing within your body - the best gift a woman can have!

Congratulations!!!!

congratulations

Hooray for you and hubby, make him spoil you, it's law when you are pregnant! My only words of advice are DO NOT EAT FOR TWO!!! I took it as full permission to eat for quints even if I was only having one. That was the begining of some of my weight gain, I just went nuts. Be sure to keep us posted during your pregnancy!
