Saying Hi!

[alykat06]

I just wanted to stop by and say hi to all my phrends! Its been a little while since I have been on here since I am preggo, but I really miss you guys! So heres my update: I am currently 14 weeks, doing well, babies heartbeat was 150-155 bpm. My due date is July 23. So since I had to come off of phen and increase my food intake/include carbs again I have gained quite a bit of weight. I think last I checked I gained 25lbs in 3-4 months. I also blame the morning sickness I was having, it was the kind where I had to eat constantly so I didnt get sick, so me going from low carb to eating crackers etc like crazy wasnt good. I'm glad to be out of the first trimester because now I can feel more energy and hope to get more exercise in. All I did was go to work, eat, and sleep there for a while lol. I cant wait for daylight savings so I can take my dog for walks again, right now its dark when I get home. I hope everyone is doing well, I hope you guys have stuck to your habits (unlike me). I cant wait to hear from you guys!

Ah, how are you?! 25lbs in 4 months is not bad for being pregnant at all, you probably won't gain much more than that! I am glad everything is going smooth minus the morning sickness (which is actually good because your body is getting rid of bad stuff). Your baby is due two days before my birthday! lol

[alykat06]

Lol glad to hear that 25 lbs isnt that bad, because on baby threads im getting a bit frustrated about ppl complaining about gaining 10 lbs (that might be the hormones talking :P ) I no longer have morning sickness thankfully, sometimes I get a random spell at night but usually its due to italian food or extra mucus, luckily the doc gave me some antibiotics for a cold and most of the morning sickness went away.

Can't wait to spoil that little girl( wink wink) I no Willie will kill me for that how's diesel doing? Does he still wear the shirts I sent him? Do u think he's gonna do well with the baby?

Congrats and dont worry about the weight gain. I gained 65 with my daughter, so 25 is not bad at all. you will be fine and if you breast feed you usually drop the weight fast afterwards

Best of luck to you and baby boo.

[dallasm25]

25 pounds is a bit cause you gain toward the end, but you carry your weight well. congrats on your baby.

[dallasm25]

i gained 60 pounds with my first kid but you probably wont gain 60 probably another 20...

[angelea]

Congratulations!

Take Care!

25 is not that bad
i gained almost 75 with my first
i was active duty until 10 days before she was born I got out. everyday i ate at the dininfg facility and everyday i ate a buffet all 3 meals hehe
i had the eat so i don't throw up stuff going on too....but miraculously after she was born i was walking (we lived on base and didn't have a car yet) all of the time ( to the commisary and backpacking groceries back..) and lost all of the weight except 15 or so lbs by the time she was 5 months old.....

make sure you are making healthy choices for your food. taking a few walks every now and then. That baby needs the foods to grow! What the heck is with this new eating disorder "preggarexia" or whatever? I would take a "hit for the home team" and gain the weight for a healthy baby rather than deprive the baby for the sake of vainity!

Glad to see you are givin that baby what it needs momma!!!! you can always extreme diet and excersize after!!!!

[Mary-Mary]

Hey aly, good to know that you and your baby are doing great and dont worry about gaining allot of weight as long as you eat healthy you should be fine.

take lots of care!

[B-rizzle]

My wife is pregnant right now as well, and she is due Feb 27! (I'm not quite ready to grow up yet!! LOL) She's up about 30 lbs, but I swear she eats LESS now than she's pregnant than she did before! She did have morning sickness pretty bad during the first trimester, but that passed. She just wakes me up at night going to the bathroom every half hour! I've also been getting my share of exercise getting the baby room ready (drywalling, painting, etc...)..

I wish you a healthy happy pregnancy, and a healthy happy baby!!!

Baby is great news! Don’t worry about extra pounds; it’s nothing more than just fat that will burn again into the energy once you start exercising after delivering your child. And your baby will make you proud of yourself! I am glad you are off phen, because your body and your little baby need more food now to develop healthy and cute! Will you show us your picture now? Wanna see that round belly that carries out a new life inside!Everybody has already congratulated you with your pregnancy. We are supporting you, so feel free to share all the news with us!

[alykat06]

Thanks for all the support guys, the belly is just now starting to get rounder and look like a pregnant belly and not a fat belly lol, I have pictures of the baby though from my 13 week appointment. I understand the weight will come off, I will be working hard to get it off once the baby comes. I'm not getting much exercise right now due to how much I work, but anytime I get the chance I'm cleaning and re-organizing, trying to get stuff done around the house. All is well, I have another appointment in 2 weeks, were so excited, and hopefully we can find out the sex!



Baby sitting, you can see the big head :P





Picture of babies face, see the glowing eyes and hands?

[alykat06]

Heres my update: I'm 22 weeks as of tomorrow and were having a baby boy! We have picked out the name Sebastian and he is doing great. I hope all my phriends are doing well too!

[cecebean]

Congrats! I love that name! I have a nephew named Sebastian!! Hope all goes smoothly for you from here...You're more than 1/2 way there!

[katy625]

Hey girl!! Its been like forever and a day since I talked to you! That is so great that you are in your second trimester! I am so happy for you!!! I too just had a baby. His name is James and I gave birth to him on Feb 25th...3 weeks ago. I too had to come off of phen when I got pregnant last june but I went to the doc today and got back on Phen since I gained all the weight I lost right back.
But, hey its good to hear from you and i am soooo happy for you girl!

[alykat06]

Aww congrats Katy on the new baby boy! Thats awesome you are back on phen, sadly I have pretty much already gained all the weight back that I lost, I fell of the wagon big time. But I am trying not to stress over it since I know I will get it off once the baby gets here! I hope to get back on phen as well, right now I am debating breast feeding for 2 months before going back to work or just going straight to formula. Its not easy to pump at work since we dont have private areas, were lucky if were not using porta-pots lol. I would like to bf to see if it would help me lose weight, but the other side of me thinks I should just go back on phen and do formula instead because I know phen helps me. I'm interested in seeing how quickly you lose weight and how the baby is doing from time to time so feel free to email me if you would like alykat06@yahoo.com.
