Those are cute, Rupertbear! I like the diapered one best Lisa, I'm glad to hear you're feeling better! I have been queasy for the past week or so, and unlike the last pregnancy, eating protein did *not* help. But I've started taking a vitamin B complex and vitamin E supplement, and now I feel okay! I think it is mostly due to the B vitamins, since I noticed yesterday (before I took the B-complex and just took a B-6 supplement) that I wasn't queasy, either. I re-read "Let's Have Healthy Children" by Adelle Davis, which is about nutrition/ vitamin needs of pregnant/lactating women and their growing children. Good book.

I like the diapered one to. Thanks for those Rupertbear!! Yesterday I went to the hospital to see the dietician and left with a FastTake blood sugar tester kit. Gestational diabetes.....Ye haw!! I have to check 4 times a day and 3 times a week it will be 5 times a day. I can see how this can become a pain in the butt. Oh well gotta do what ya gotta do right?

That's a drag Spitfire. I have that test coming up soon. Glad to hear you're feeling better Kimmo. I've felt absolutely great and very normal this entire pregnancy (except for the cold that's still hanging on). I've actually thought maybe I'm not pregnant and took another pee test at 12 weeks. It was only after I saw the little one on the U/S that it hit home... and the fact that my belly is WAY out there already. Today someone actually acknowledged that I'm pregnant by looking at me, which was really cool because I'm in that inbetween stage where people aren't sure if you're pregnant or just put on some pounds (ha ha)! Very cool.

Kaykay, can you show an after picture, too? That's so cute. Lisa, that is how I'm feeling now-- So great that I'm wondering if I'm pregnant. I did mean to do another home test last night, but I feel pretty sure it's the vitamins. I haven't been bleeding or anything and have been gaining. I also think drinking fruit juice was what made me so sick, because I also stopped drinking fruit juice the other day as well. I'm starting to show really early this time, I guess that is expected with #2 because your body knows what's happening? Spitfire, I'm sorry to hear about the GD. It's too bad you have to monitor yourself so closely. That would make me paranoid. Do they recommend a new diet as well, or just give general restrictions?

Kimmo just basic general restrictions for me. I am still allowed to eat whatever I want it just has to be in moderation. There are certain things that I can eat as much as I want of. Protiens and veggies are free. It's just the carbs that make sugar that I have to be careful with.....pasta, grains, milk..

What a cutie Kaykay. Funny how they look older after the haircut! On Sat. I woke up to the worst stomach virus i've ever had! Was on the toilet 18 times that day - couldn't keep anything in. Thought I was gonna die! Then Sunday felt better but returned yesterday. So went to the OB to check the baby because I was very worried. All I ate was dry toast, chicken broth and oj with water!! Lost 6 1bs in 3 days... She checked us both and said it may take a couple more days but baby is fine and oblivious and I should just keep hydrated as much as possible. Feeling better today but now Nate has it. He's vomiting all over but still laughing - go figure! I was worried about gaining too much weight with this pregnancy as I did with Nate but right now the grand total is 4 1bs in 17 weeks... I guess it would be 10 if I hadn't got this bug.

That sucks Enbwife. I was really sick with a stomach virus 6 weeks in and was so worried to. I was told the same thing....baby is fine, just keep hydrated. Hope everyone is feeling better soon. I had a appointment yesterday with the doctor. She assured me that the gestational was caught in good time and the ultrasound showed that baby is average sized. Nothing to worry about yet. If I just stick to the diet I should keep babies weight down. I have now gained a total of 26lbs. I am actually amazed at that. I really don't feel baby heavy at all. Everyone keeps telling me to "just wait, you'll start to feel it." I'm carrying all out front and really have not gained to much on me. Doctor also said the ultrasound tech had mentioned that I was carrying alot of water. I guess that is good because it will all been gone right away. I actually feel better and lighter on my feet now at 32 weeks than I did at 20. Does that make sense? Did anyone else feel this way.

Tommy got his first haircut the other day too! He kept squirming around so the first barber gave up. Another barber took over, my husband held him by the shoulders, and all was well. He looks so grown up now! Oh...and just a little note here...The reason I wanted him to get a haircut was because today I took Jason for his 3-month pictures and I wanted to have a photo of both Jason and Tommy as a Father's Day gift for my husband. The photographer had Tommy hold Jason in the pose, and he WOULD NOT SMILE!!! LOL So much for THAT idea! Jason's 3-month picture turned out really cute though -- big smile.

Lisa, hope you're feeling better! That's nice that the virus isn't getting Nate down. Spitfire, when I was pregnant, I was extremely fluid-filled-- I drank water all the time. My ankles swelled up to a hideous degree due to the amount of water I retained, and when they had to break my water (I was induced), it seemed like the water just kept pouring out for hours. I got several embarrassing comments from the midwife and other staff about how much water actually broke! But I don't know if the two were related. Everyone said it just looked like I gained baby, but I gained around 50 pounds; I guess most of it was water. 30 pounds were lost just due to birthing and rest came off fast due to breastfeeding and exercise. I don't think I felt lighter as you did, because of the swelling thing, plus sciatica. "They" (that is, everyone at work) says boys carry mostly in the front while girls make you flop out all over, maybe you have a boy! I feel huge in comparison to how I felt with Rowan, so I feel even more that this is a girl. Eliz, will you show first haircut pictures? These are so cute.

That saying held true for me, Kimmo about carrying boys all in the front. Four little basketball tummys each time! lol ;)

I've experienced the same thing. I have always noticed that the boys carry out front but my mom had two girls and she says I look just like her. Who knows? Guess I will know soon enough.

Kimmo, I've was told, and also found it to be true for myself, that with your second pregnancy you start showing earlier than with your first. Maybe that is why you feel huge now!

Wow, Rupertbear, 4 boys! Spitfire, it's true I don't think I've seen this theory in action, so who knows? There is another woman at work who is pregnant with a boy, and the first time was a girl; but I certainly don't remember how big she was the first time compared to this time! I will definitely want to see at the ultrasound (I hope the baby is not being modest by then!). Jewels, that is what I heard-- Your body knows what's going on so it is more willing to "let go"-- But I would just be so excited if this was a girl! Well, I know I would love having another boy, too.

I flopped out all over with Nate and he's a boy. I also gained 50 1bs and it wasn't just water - I can tell you that! I have my u/s appt. in 2 weeks and this time we want to find out the sex. I am SO excited about it. I just hope the little one cooperates. Nate went from bad to worse since Tuesday. I was home all week with him (and my problem which is now 90% better). Poor little guy was miserable and couldn't keep anything in. Ended up with the worst diaper rash as a result. This morning he was much more himself, ate a good breakfast and was running around, so we sent him to daycare. I had to get back to work and I haven't heard from the nanny so I figure he's way on the mend. I just hope our family can get and stay healthy for a few months at least!!

So glad that Nate is feeling better, it's so terrible when they're miserable. Sending good vibes that you will all stay healthy and that the newest addition isn't shy come doctor day.

Now Neil has it!!! Nate and I are back to normal thank God but Neil is suffering. It's just so gross!! I'm off on another business trip this Sun-Fri so hopefully Neil's 100% by then or it's gonna be a long week for the two of them.
