Yay! I just went out and purchased some baby girl nightgowns, I feel like I'm dreaming. I had my dd when I was very young and honestly we didn't have much money then. It's totally different this time around :) I hope my 2 year old isn't jealous when she is born lol
I find out next Saturday.

:agree: that's partly why I wanted more kids so bad - my two oldest were when I was poor and had literally nothing and I felt like I couldn't enjoy it at all. It was so fun (even having more boys LOL) to go out and buy stuff that I liked insted of whatever people gave me and hand me downs. Huge congrats again I totally understand!!!Quote:

Could it be because my body got so used to a lot of cardio while swaying? This isn't a vanity thing, just more of a concern as to why I'm gaining weight so rapidly this time.

I have not. I'm sorry. I would suggest talking to your doctor and seeing if they can get you an appointment with a nutritionalist? I have lost weight. And I think that's odd. But I'm not complaining, as I'm overweight.Quote:

Might be because of the strict diet before so now your body is holding onto every calorie it can. I have started eating more normally and stopped exercising and can feel the pounds gaining already at 6 weeks! Although feel so bloated and stomach aches that Im going to have to eat less and smaller amounts I think to combat the slow digestion!Quote:

K, my midwife does want me to start keeping a food diary so she can see what my diet is like. I did develop a sweet tooth after doing LE for so long so that doesn't help. :/ I am trying really hard though to eat healthy. I've been having salads more often and cutting back on desserts. I have a lot of food aversions this time though so it's hard to eat at times.
Chocolate, that's what I was thinking could be the culprit. LE+cardio for a long time likely changed my metabolism. I was super bloated too in the beginning. Eat lots of fiber rich foods and drink lots of water. Cutting out soda may help as well if you're drinking that.
I have only put on 3-4lbs do far. Some days I weigh myself I'm more but this is usually because I have been constipated for days

I am announcing today, only our close family know I'm pregnant and having a girl, so today the day I announce.
I am so excited, when the employees blew up my balloon I purchased I started to cry lol I am so thankfulAttachment 32116
I have another with ds not looking mad haha he only wanted to hold the balloon

Can't see the pics Hun but that sounds so fun! I can't wait to announce gender once we have confirmation.
.
Had my midwife appointment today. She didn't seem too concerned about my weight and said because I started out underweight that my body probably just needs the extra pounds. She said we'll keep an eye on it just to make sure it doesn't get out of control.
My anatomy scan will be scheduled for the last week of July. AH! I'm so nervous!!!! I'm super excited to see the baby since I haven't had an ultrasound since 6 weeks but at the same time I'm nervous about baby's health. Of course I'm nervous about finding out the gender too!! We're going to have them put the gender in an envelope for DH and I to open in private so I don't have a negative reaction in front of the tech like I did with DS2. I'm still on the fence as to whether or not I want to know though. DH really, really wants to find out and he said he'd keep it a secret if I wanted to be team green. I think the suspense might drive me crazy though! lol
I can see pics now princess mom! Beautiful!
Exciting ksmom! You'll be so excited to see baby again!
Princessmom your children are beautiful.xxx

Princessmom, you must be so excited to finally announce! Your DD must be SO happy to be getting a sister!! Your kids are so cute. :)
I gained a bit too but only like first few weeks, doc said I was so under weight baby held onto everything I ate lol
this is me few weeks ago still same weightAttachment 32126
.
i feel huge I want to cry lol but im glad im keeping a good diet and staying active well trying too, its hard since kids are home from school and busy all the time.
I still do my squats haha
anyone still taking fiber?
I am doing a shake every morning with stuff called Vega One All-in-one Nutrition. It's all natural made from real food and its high in the nutrients and vitamins we need, including fiber.

I just woke up from a nap. I look like I was crying but I wasn't. Week 14. Going in for gender scan in Saturday at 15 wks at my regular place. I've done all the kids gender there and later scans for chubby face 3-4D pictures. They did my son at 15wks and some days and they go 3D usually on their parts to confirm. So I'm confident in their skills, they've been right for me and my family and friends that have gone there from a recommendation.

Best of luck yay! 15 weeks is good enough for gender
I keep thinking is this too good to be true maybe It's wrong lol
When I have my scan at around 32 weeks at my doc office, tech said she will give me some 3D photos!
Also for next week too for my anatomy scan! Plus I have a 3D photo of her from when I went for a gender scan a few days ago, I need to post it
I'm not taking fiber anymore I had to switch to lactose because even with the fiber i just couldnt go anymore.
This is one major symptom that is different from my boy pregnancies for me!

I'm not in pain thankfully. Just annoyed. I get a blockage and once that passes it is good for a day or two and then I have the issue repeat. My problem is as it moves through the intestine it causes uterine cramps.Quote:

I haven't gained any weight yet, at 7 weeks today. I am right in the middle of bad nausea though. Also with the morning sickness poops I've been getting I get rid of the bloat every day lol. In the evening my belly sticks out but then in the am it's gone. I'm hoping I don't have more than one in there with my high hcg numbers. One newborn is hard enough for me! Twins don't run in my family at all though. I'll be getting my panorama blood draw done in 2 ish weeks so will know in 3-4 weeks what Im having. Super nervous!
Also, other than the morning poops, the other thing different this time is my hair is still falling out normally or maybe a bit more than normal. With my other 3 pregnancies my hair literally stopped falling out. My brush was bare the entire pregnancy and my hair grew faster and was so thick from no loss. Nothing like that this time. Weird. Not sure if it's gender or hormone related.
For the past few days my head feels like a ton of pressure and back neck soreness, I don't know if it's a start of a cold or what. But it hurts I have to call my doc today, I am so uncomfortable
August 17 for my 20w ultrasound! Tech can't tell me anything but hoping I see something or I can go see my midwives the next day and find out gender. If I decide I can handle hearing boy.

Hi everyone congratulations beautiful rainbow and princess mom on your girls... So happy for you but wish it was me at the same time. Just took some out to get used to the idea, still half hoping that my 20 week scan will show something different . Been trying the idea of a fourth on the other half and he just doesn't want to know so looks like I will never have the daughter I've seen in my head for the last few years. I still can't go shopping yet , it's getting better but it hurts so much. I didn't really get the chance to sway at all with this, can I ask what you did BR and princess mom to get your girls? I read on line that after three boys you are. Ore likely to have a fourth.... That's just depressing :/
Good luck I know exactly how you feel xQuote:

I'm sorry you've been feeling down Pinklady. If you convinced DH to have a fourth, do you think you could try HT so you'd be guaranteed a girl? I've also been trying to prepare myself for hearing boy but I know it will still be hard to hear. I've been looking at baby boy clothes and thinking about having a newborn in the house again to try and get myself excited.
