How’s the first trimester going so far: Morning sickness? Weird cravings? Unpleasant symptoms?
Who have you told? If you’re keeping quiet, do you have any special announcement plans?
How are you staying healthy?
Are you planning to find out if you’re having a boy or girl or staying team green?
What are your highest hopes for this pregnancy and your little one?
How’s the first trimester going so far: Morning sickness? Weird cravings? Unpleasant symptoms?
Pretty good, I've been dealing with nausea but no vomitting, and it comes and goes. Constipation, but even then I'm still going every day, just not as much as normal. Basically more tired but luckily I'm off work so I've been napping! Cravings keep changing on me!
Who have you told? If you’re keeping quiet, do you have any special announcement plans?
We've told our immediate families, our two closest Aunts, and our best friends. We plan to do a photo announcement by email to everyone else at the end of Feb or early March.
How are you staying healthy?
Walking every day, still going to the gym once a week (just less intense on the treadmill). Drinking lots of water and herbal teas, and taking my supplements.
Are you planning to find out if you’re having a boy or girl or staying team green?
Team green! I don't want all pink or all blue baby stuff- we're not into that. We may choose to find out for ourselves, but not tell our families. We'll just tell them a neutral colour scheme!
What are your highest hopes for this pregnancy and your little one?
I want to start enjoying this pregancy soon! I want to feel connected to spirit and life closer than ever before. I want to birth naturally like nature intended and be transformed by the whole experience. I want my child to know that they were conceived intentionally, consciously, and are loved unconditionally.
@mtnhoney: thanks for starting this! Can't believe we are on part 3 already! :)
How’s the first trimester going so far: Morning sickness? Weird cravings? Unpleasant symptoms? Morning sickness kicked in hard core yesterday, and it is even worse today. My mom said hers lasted until 24 weeks, so I am a little terrified of it being that long. I literally feel like I can't do anything today. I am getting Zofran later, but I would like to try and use it only when I have things to do, and not when I can just lie around all day. Otherwise my boobs hurt like crazy, and I can smell everything and then some. Oh, and I think I am going to have to ban myself from sad movies :P
Who have you told? If you’re keeping quiet, do you have any special announcement plans? His parents, my mom, our siblings, his best friend, my best friend, and 2 other people found out by accident. We will probably wait until 2nd trimester to tell "everyone," and probably do it via a cheesy facebook announcement :P I really want to do: "J and A, sitting in a tree. K-I-S-S-I-N-G. First comes love, then comes marriage. Then comes..... and put a little baby carriage there. :) Or a photo with our dog and the 2 of us and the plus signs = 4.
How are you staying healthy? I laughed and told my health-nut of a husband that this kid is definitely his, because it doesn't like unhealthy food already. Fried/ greasy foods make me even sicker! I was trying to eat all healthy, but so far today I can't even think about eating anything other than crackers and gingerale. I am not going to go too crazy with the exercising, the GF's Guide book said to use pregnancy as an excuse to not do hardcore exercise. I'll take it :) Just walks with my little Cavalier! Even yesterday carrying stuff up and down the stairs a few times, I felt a little crampy and it scared me. So I'm breaking up with the weights until post-pregnancy and just going to take it easy.
Are you planning to find out if you’re having a boy or girl or staying team green? Definitely finding out. I have always told myself I would, and I don't have enough will power not to not find out :P We want to do a gender reveal party bc I think they are adorbs :)
What are your highest hopes for this pregnancy and your little one? For the pregnancy--I definitely pray constantly that everything will go great and baby will be normal and healthy. That's really all I can ask for. I wouldn't be disappointed if the nausea went away sooner rather than later, but if it's all part of making a healthy baby, I am willing to deal with it. For the LO-I just hope they are healthy and happy as a baby/child. I am a little worried about being so busy with my medical training and feeling like I don't spend enough time with LO, but I am absolutely blessed that my DH is going to be an amazing dad and a great help. He used to babysit when he was younger and is almost more baby crazy than me :)
How’s the first trimester going so far: Morning sickness? Weird cravings? Unpleasant symptoms?
I have evening sickness not morning sickness. Don't want to eat any meat - it makes me gag to see raw meat. Stranges symptom is my cotton mouth between 5-7:30am every morning. I wake up every 20mins to chug water
Who have you told? If you’re keeping quiet, do you have any special announcement plans?
We've told immediate family and a few close friends. Hoping to take a picture of our dogs holding a big bro/big sis signs and a sign in the middle saying "little one coming Sept 2013"
How are you staying healthy?
Working out when I can (try to 5 days a week) eating healthy, but it's hard when all I want is carbs!
Are you planning to find out if you’re having a boy or girl or staying team green?
Will find out ASAP! Too impatient otherwise
Just want both of us to be healthy healthy healthy
@mtnhoney: Make that 38 ;)
I am very quietly joining you ladies on here because I'm so scared of jinxing myself as I've just had 2 mc's and we are desperately hoping that this time it's going to stick. Praying with everything I have.
Got my BFP last Sunday a week ago, after waiting one cycle post mc, with a verrrry dark test line. *good sign #1
Saw my doctor right away, I'm on high dose of prenatals, progesterone suppositories and low dose baby aspirin. *good sign #2
I'm about 4 1/2 or 5 weeks along - EDD Sep. 29th! (I think it might be beginning of October though because I have a longer cycle) (due right after we move into our new house) *good sign #3 :)
How’s the first trimester going so far: Morning sickness? Weird cravings? Unpleasant symptoms?
So far I am so bloated I could explode. Gassy Gassy and oh yeah more Gas.
Who have you told? If you’re keeping quiet, do you have any special announcement plans?
Only me and DH know right now and we are trying to keep it that way for a while.
How are you staying healthy?
Quit smoking; cut all caffeine as much as possible; thinking positively; taking all meds as prescribed
Are you planning to find out if you’re having a boy or girl or staying team green?
For sure I want to know!
What are your highest hopes for this pregnancy and your little one?
Just that this pregnancy will last and we will finally have a baby at the end of Summer this year. :)
How’s the first trimester going so far: Morning sickness? Weird cravings? Unpleasant symptoms?
My boobs are aching, my stomach is super bloated and my skin is blotchy. Certain smells from foods really turn me off, it's early so I'm sure it will get worse
Who have you told? If you’re keeping quiet, do you have any special announcement plans?
Both sets of parents, my brother, both grandmothers. We totally can't keep a secret from close family.
How are you staying healthy?
Trying to, after the scare 10 days ago I am laying low until I hear from my doctor. But still trying to get to the gym for some walking.
Are you planning to find out if you’re having a boy or girl or staying team green?
Definitely want to find out if it's a boy or girl.
What are your highest hopes for this pregnancy and your little one?
The only thing I hope is that my baby is sticky and healthy when she/he is born.
@Sunshine09: Omg! A big congratulations to you, I really, really hope this is it for you. We were on the May board together too weren't we? I am very happy to see you here, what big news. :)
@LuluH: Thanks :) Yup May boards, and then I was on July board. So I'm really hoping with all my heart that third times a charm!
How’s the first trimester going so far: Morning sickness? Weird cravings? Unpleasant symptoms? Much better then I thought. I was way more sicker with my DS. This time I have sore boobs on and off and am super bloated. None of my clothes fit because of it. Upset stomach a lot, not nausea, just upset and icky.
Who have you told? If you’re keeping quiet, do you have any special announcement plans? Our immediate family knows and our co-workers/best friends who were close with. I would have liked to have been more quiet about it, but news spreads fast. Not going to announce on FB anytime soon. I think it would be fun to post a picture of us all on Facebook for our first wedding anniversary in June. I'll be huge by then.
How are you staying healthy? I wish. I'm so tired so working out feels meh. I'm averaging 3 times a week right now, jogging 3 miles. Food the only thing that sounds good is pasta and bagels. No meat, no salad. :( But no greasy food either which I normally love.
Are you planning to find out if you’re having a boy or girl or staying team green? Finding out this time. I was team green last time and loved it. But it would be fun to do a nursery etc. and shop since its our last.
What are your highest hopes for this pregnancy and your little one? That I don't MC. Feeling very unsure again, trying to not let the fear overtake the joy. I'm struggling with this. Healthy sticky baby above else.
@Sunshine09: 3rd time will be the charm! I remember being amazed you were on the July boards so quickly. So happy for you.
How’s the first trimester going so far: Morning sickness? Weird cravings? Unpleasant symptoms? Started on Week 6 and I am now on Week 7. I am having some nausea but not throwing up, cramping, got light headed today, headaches, and always tired! Thats about it right now... with my first I think I was like this but it ended quick.
Cravings- I am always craving spicy foods (taco bell, spicy cheese, etc) and I love me some good ole lemon water!
Who have you told? If you’re keeping quiet, do you have any special announcement plans? We told everyone already, I was going to keep quiet longer but some of my fam has big mouths so I would rather say it then everyone hearing from someone else.
How are you staying healthy? Drinking lots of water and taking my prenatals. Going to get a gym membership soon and will walk on the treadmill, ride the bike, do 5lb weight lifts, and join the pregnancy yoga classes.
Are you planning to find out if you’re having a boy or girl or staying team green? Def want to know asap lol!
What are your highest hopes for this pregnancy and your little one? Just for baby and I to stay healthy and have no complications :)
@LuluH: Thanks so much and just as happy for you! I know, my body wants to be pregnant! I think the progesterone and aspirin and high dose prenatals this time are going to do the trick, I'm so happy my Dr put me on progesterone right away. Anyone that has suffered a loss has a different feeling with a next pregnancy, so hard not to worry...I hope we can both be success stories!!!
How’s the first trimester going so far: Morning sickness? Weird cravings? Unpleasant symptoms? I just started week 5. So far my boobs hurt like crazy. I'm gassy from both ends. Having some mild mood swings and crying episodes. I feel bloated and nausea until I eat. But I don't ever really feel hungry. Once I'm eating it's fine. Mostly craving pasta, cheese, bread.
Who have you told? If you’re keeping quiet, do you have any special announcement plans? We haven't told anyone and it's getting hard. We've only known for a week, but haven't been to the doctor yet. I wanted to wait until after that to tell, but I think we're going to tell my parents this week and my inlaws this weekend. Then I'm going to tell my best friends next week probably. I bought our dog a t-shirt that says "Big Sister" and we're going to put it on her and send her out to see our parents.
How are you staying healthy? Drinking lots of water, taking my prenatal vitamins, trying to eat more fruits and vegetables and less junk and processed stuff. Going to start upping my exercise by walking more.
Are you planning to find out if you’re having a boy or girl or staying team green? Team Green! I don't want to know.
What are your highest hopes for this pregnancy and your little one? I am just praying for a healthy baby and pregnancy.
come on ladies, I asked HIGHEST HOPES - of course we all want healthy pregnancies and babies... but beyond that, what are your spiritual aspirations for bringing another being into the world?
Do you want them to be a healer? Teacher? Leader? Indigo child? ;-)
How’s the first trimester going so far: Morning sickness? Weird cravings? Unpleasant symptoms?
So, I'll be six weeks on Tuesday and I feel like I've already been having symptoms for a while now. I started getting "evening sickness" this week, although it's been better today. I'm just crazy obsessed at the moment with eggs and toast and tea. That's about the only food I can think of that doesn't make me feel queasy. Oh, and pizza, bizzarely! I've been going days already without cooking dinner because the thought of raw anything makes me want to hurl, lol. Poor DH. Otherwise, I'm still tired and super super emotional, but the gassiness and sore boobs have already gotten better from a week or two ago.
Who have you told? If you’re keeping quiet, do you have any special announcement plans?
So, our plan was not to tell anyone until after the first trimester, but once we got pregnant, I couldn't imagine not telling my mom. So, we've told both of our immediate families and a couple of close friends. Because of the nature of my job, I'm going to have to tell my boss really early. My first doctor's appt is Feb. 6, and if, G-d willing, everything looks good and on track, I'll tell her after that (around 8 weeks or so). Honestly, I'm so worried about telling work that I haven't even really daydreamed about a more general announcement yet, but I love everyone's ideas so far!
How are you staying healthy?
I cut down diet coke to one can a day and I've been trying to eat way more veggies (in addition to the prenatal vitamins). Unfortunately, between snow storms and intense inversions, the weather in Utah hasn't really been conducive to going outside, but I'm hoping to start walking with DH and the puppy once that mess all clears up. :)
Are you planning to find out if you’re having a boy or girl or staying team green?
We want to find out the sex as soon as possible.
What are your highest hopes for this pregnancy and your little one?
Right now, like everyone else, I'm just so focused on a healthy baby and a healthy me that it seems like almost too much to hope for anything more, but I'm also hoping to bring a wonderful, caring, and wise new soul into the world, B''H.
How’s the first trimester going so far: Morning sickness? Weird cravings? Unpleasant symptoms?
I am sooooo sick. Wish I could be throwing up, but it's just constant horrible nausea without relief. Punk twins, wreaking havoc on my body. I'm losing weight at a time when I'm supposed to be eating an extra 600 calories per day. Also, I am burping and farting like a sailor, and my boobs are really sore. The only thing that I consistently want is water with a few tbsp of lemon juice in it--even the smell of toast makes my stomach turn.
Who have you told? If you’re keeping quiet, do you have any special announcement plans?
We've told parents, some siblings, and close friends. People who we would want to support us if something went wrong. Open to suggestions for cute twins announcements!
How are you staying healthy?
I'm taking my vitamins, walking to/from work every day, and cutting out all the nasties like alcohol and caffeine. Eating whatever my stomach will allow, but sadly that isn't much.
Are you planning to find out if you’re having a boy or girl or staying team green?
Definitely finding out. I hate surprises. Hoping for a boy and a girl.
What are your highest hopes for this pregnancy and your little ones?
At the moment, I just want happy and healthy children who love others well.
@mtnhoney: I hope our child grows up to be well-mannered and always helping others.
Can't tell if I'm having a bit of morning sickness today or just stress. A bad storm hit last night and the drive to work was horrible, always gets my anxiety going. DH and my mom keep telling me I need to relax, but telling someone with an anxiety order to relax AND while pregnant is like impossible. I'm doing my best, but until I see a heartbeat I cannot fully relax :(
I forgot to mention this under cravings. I can't stop eating bagels and cream cheese. That's ALL I WANT TO EAT. Last night I made blackened tilapia with avocado mango salsa and baked sweet potato fries. I got to the final step of cooking the fish and couldn't go through with it. DH got 2 pieces of fish and I got a plate of sweet potatos and salsa.
AND, I want to recommend an iphone App called wee mail. You get a little note from your baby each day - they're quite funny.
@Sunshine09: Fingers crossed for you! Congrats!
Ok ladies here's my TMI of the day: ....I had a, um... 'wet dream' last night. Meaning I woke up in an orgasm! Hormones a'raging.
I remember my girlfriend said that happened to her but way later into the pregnancy. I'm only just 5 weeks.
It's got me worried though because my Dr advised us not to have sex for the first few weeks to be on the safe side, and I had a bit of cramping when I woke up. I feel ok now but Wow, that was unexpected!
Happy dreaming girls! lol
How’s the first trimester going so far: Morning sickness? Weird cravings? Unpleasant symptoms?I have been nauseus in the mornings and evenings. Not vomitting. I've had heartburn, so I'm popping Tums like crazy. I've been really tired in the evenings. No real cravings, just hungry and want to eat. I do prefer chicken right now over other meats. I'm soooo thirsty! Stil have sore boobs- I feel bad for DH because if he hugs me the wrong way my boobs get squished. Very gassy (burping is not weird for me) but farting more than normal. I am constipated, but pooping has helped my nausea a little. Oh, any smells that smell bad are REALLY bad (cigarette smoke, gas, BO, etc)
Who have you told? If you’re keeping quiet, do you have any special announcement plans?Haven't told anyone yet, and it's killing us. We're not telling until DH's bday party on March 10, so FOREVER from now. Still trying to figure it out exactly, but thinking of either doing something with the dessert or a special gift to him. We'll tell the rest of the family/close friends with a postcard saying first comes love.... with a pic of our feet, baby shoes and the dog. We'll post that on FB a few weeks later.
How are you staying healthy?Hahahahaha. I'm not active to begin with, so I'm being very cautious to not really do much until I talk to the doctor in a couple weeks. I'm trying to lose weight by eating healthy (or at least trying), but it's becoming very hard. Having a hard time wanting to eat anything unless it's put in front of me, so the crockpot is going to be used.
Are you planning to find out if you’re having a boy or girl or staying team green?Team green! I want neutral baby things, but I also want a surprise at the end of my delivery. Not that I won't be excited for the baby, but just an extra thing to keep me going.
What are your highest hopes for this pregnancy and your little one?
Obviously I want a healthy pregnancy and baby. I do want a kind, Godly child. I really hope that LO grows up to be like daddy. He's such a kind, patient, loving person!
ETA: Ughhh so mad that I just wrote a book and it didn't post it. Sooo re-writing it.
Sometimes I wish I felt more pregnant, just so I'd know that everything was going right in there. I'm still 10 days away from a doctor's appointment and the time is just dragging.
How’s the first trimester going so far: Morning sickness? Weird cravings? Unpleasant symptoms?
I'm definitely feeling better than I expected. I'm having some symptoms, but they've all been more mild than I anticipated. The main ones right now are some nausea (without throwing up), tender breasts, and thirst. I'm still a little concerned that I don't "feel" more pregnant, but trying not to stress about it.
Who have you told? If you’re keeping quiet, do you have any special announcement plans?
So far only a couple of my close friends know. I told one because she's already a mom, and gave me a ton of support and great advice while we were trying to get pregnant. She would have known something was up if I suddenly stopped giving her updates! And I've told my closest friend at work. She's going to be stuck picking up the slack in my workload later this year, on top of us being good friends, so I wanted to let her know as soon as possible.
Our first appointment is on Wednesday (EEEEK!), so assuming everything goes ok, we'll tell immediately family and a few more close friends after that. We'll make some kind of general announcement and tell our bosses once we get through the first trimester.
How are you staying healthy?
Taking vitamins, eating more fruits and veggies, cut out most caffeine, and getting a walk in as many days as possible.
Are you planning to find out if you’re having a boy or girl or staying team green?
Definitely finding out. I'm going to try to go gender neutral on the big purchases--stroller, etc.--in case we end up having another baby, but I also wwant some boy/girl specific stuff.
What are your highest hopes for this pregnancy and your little ones?
Really just praying for a healthy pregnancy right now, and ultimately a happy, healthy baby. If we're lucky enough to get that far, I hope for a kid who knows how loved they are, and has the courage and support to pursue all of their interests and dreams.
@Sunshine09: Umm...how do you go about acquiring that symptom? I want it! Haha ;)
Zofran is such a lifesaver, definitely takes the edge off of my nausea, just wish it would make it go away completely! It's major side effect is constipation, so I need to be worrying how to combat that even more now. Wish I didn't have to take medicine, but it can't be good for baby if I can't eat or drink anything either. Seriously, if this lasts until the end of 2nd trimester like my mom's did...this kid might be an only child. HOW DID MY MOM DO THIS 5 TIMES?! Ahhhhhhh
And I hope my child grows up to be independent, driven, and feels comfortable enough to pursue whatever dreams they have. I want them to be free-spirited but respectful at the same time. And if they weren't a complete brat of a teenager, I'd be OK with that too. :P
@cowgirlace: haha. Definitely not having a bratty teen would be great! :)
@tracylesq: I'm with you on that. I've only thrown up like 4-5 times all in the evening. We saw our little guppy with heartbeat a week ago and will see it again in another week but I'm so nervous!
How’s the first trimester going so far: Morning sickness? Weird cravings? Unpleasant symptoms?
some days, I have all day nausea, some days I feel great, but I've never gotten sick. today, I can already tell is not going to go so well. My boobs are constantly sore and hard. DH told me the other day it looks like I had a boob job! sometimes, I can't help but worry because I haven't had any food aversions and I haven't really noticed smells anymore than normal. I haven't had any weird cravings...yet! Only unpleasant symptom is consitpation, boo!
Who have you told? If you’re keeping quiet, do you have any special announcement plans?
we've told our immediate families and grandparents, and our closest friends. we've decided we don't really care who finds out anymore since I'm 8w4d, but we don't want anything on FB until 12w. DH wants to take a pic of our dog sniffing my belly with a caption "what's in there, Tucker?" and see how long it takes people to catch on.
How are you staying healthy? HA! I wish! I was never one to go to the gym, but I'm looking around for treadmills now so I can at least walk while it's still so cold here. I'm trying to make smarter food choices, which it's always the easiest either.
Are you planning to find out if you’re having a boy or girl or staying team green? We are definitely finding out. DH wants to have as long as possible to prepare himself if it's a girl!
What are your highest hopes for this pregnancy and your little one?
My hopes for me is to not gain a ton of weight and to keep myself and the baby as healthy as possible. For the baby-I want my child to be kind and respectful.
@Sunshine09: WOW I want that symptom! I did have a naughty dream while napping yesterday. I'll take it lol
DH just called and said he can get off work early on Wed, so we get to see our little peanut this week instead of next week! I'm obviously very excited!!!
@lroetheli: OMG that's great news! I'm so excited for you!
@lroetheli: Yay! So exciting! Glad he can be there!
@Sunshine09: HA! i woke up from one this morning too lmao (on thurs i'll be 7 weeks).
So, note to self guys: if you are achey or not feeling well dont take tylenol extra strength. I started feeling sick yesterday with an achey body, chest congestion, headache and ear ache so i took some extra strength tylenol, i called my dr today and she said regular tylenol is fine but do NOT take extra strength. i have an appt today cuz i still feel like poop, so i'll ask what else safe and not safe to take. And here i was thinking i got away with not being sick this winter :(
How’s the first trimester going so far: Morning sickness? Weird cravings? Unpleasant symptoms?
Morning sickness is in high gear. I am 6 weeks pregnant now and for the past 2 weeks, it has been getting worse every day. I am still just nauseous and not vomitting but it's getting quite close now. I am lucky though since it's worse when I wake up and then manageable for the rest of the day.
I usually love chicken and now can't stand the sight of it and oddly enough, I can't seem to have enough fish, which I am usually not fond of. I also loooove sweet potatoes right now.
No other unpleasant symptoms other than the usual, I'm very tired, and I feel moody.
I felt much better during my first pregnancy... Apart from nausea, I had no other symptoms at all at this point.
Who have you told? If you’re keeping quiet, do you have any special announcement plans?
I told my best friend. Then I got outed by a group of friends. That's it.
Last time, our families behaved in such a way that I do not wish to tell them as long as I don't have to. My mom kept harrassing me to tell the whole world even if I kept telling her that now was not the time. And my MIL would not stop rubbing my belly and commenting... as early as 5 weeks!
Nah, as long as we can put it off, we will, cause I'm feeling pretty bitchy about it now.
How are you staying healthy?
I finished all the popcorn in the house and seeing how I had no self control, I am not buying any unhealthy food so I can't binge like a crazy lady.
I used to work out everyday, with very high intensity. I already slowed down because even though I know I can continue as I did, I really feel the intensity was too high. I now work out 4-6 times per week, but only spinning, aquafitness, skating, pilates or a p90x video here and there. I keep it very varied.
Are you planning to find out if you’re having a boy or girl or staying team green? Of course! I am way too curious to keep this a surprise! With my first I had a strong feeling it was a boy. And it was. Now I have this feeling it's a girl. But it's not as strong yet. We'll see.
What are your highest hopes for this pregnancy and your little one?
I hope I won't get too big and will be able to recover completely - I am still carrying 8 pounds from my first, so I would like to get back to my initial weight within a reasonable timeframe. I would love for my new LO to be as great as my son, but a better sleeper. I hope for my son to love his new sibling when he comes. I also hope it won't be too difficult to take care of my son while caring for the newborn and recuperating from the c-section (which is mandatory in my case).
So ladies I am going crazy. My final blood test is today, I should find out tomorrow what my levels are at. I'm trying to stay calm and just be happy. But it's all I can think about! I can't stop thinking about the bad "what if" situations.
@pmerr: Thanks.
I'm a little worried because I'm lightly bleeding again. I had a tiny bit of spotting on Friday and yesterday (talking very, very light pink only when wiping). Today is was on my underwear. I realize there's nothing I can do until this blood test comes back but it's so hard to calm down. Especially when everyone I talk to hasn't had any bleeding in their pregnancy :(
@Lyndzo: Good luck, mama. I'm still in shock that they won't give you an u/s. But FX that it is good news.
Roll Call:
How’s the first trimester going so far: Morning sickness? Weird cravings? Unpleasant symptoms?
I have a lot of yucky tummy feelings - and the food aversions have been terrible. Any non-beef meat smells like death. Ugh. But the carbs and burgers are my new best friends. I never crave carbs, so this is really bizarre for me. Oh, and the non-pooping. Man, what I wouldn't give for one normal BM.
Who have you told? If you’re keeping quiet, do you have any special announcement plans?
Our immediate families know, as well as a few friends each. We're not letting everybody tell willy-nilly til 12 weeks though.
How are you staying healthy?
I used to run, but the exhaustion is too much right now. So, I try to go on a 2 mile walk every other day, and have been hitting the gym with DH, even though I only walk on the treadmill while he does serious cardio.
Are you planning to find out if you’re having a boy or girl or staying team green?
Definitely finding out. I wish I knew NOW. :)
What are your highest hopes for this pregnancy and your little one?
I hope my child is smart and kind and open-minded. Or at least will make enough money to support my DH and me in our old age (J/k!).
