Hellobee Boards

@avivoca: Oh man, that is miserable that your bathroom at work is being renovated. Hope you don't have to throw up there.

@MrsKoala: I am a little bit. I'm wearing a form-fitting dress and my pantyhose keep rolling down and settling right under my gut which makes it stick out more. I doubt people are paying that much attention.

@MrsKoala: oh yeah! Good old muscle memory and bloating! I was just showing DH and he said, I see it! Then when I carried LO upstairs he kept touching my belly going "I see it!" Yeah not hiding it much longer around here!

@MrsKoala: I take it back. I was sooooo bloated by the end of the day. I looked like I am 4 months pregnant!

I made it through my first pregnant OTF class. I didn't go as hard but I still feel likeI got a good workout in. I hopeI can keep it up because I am trying to a) gain better and b) not get gestational diabetes again.

Could be fired*

@avivoca: me too but Italian women can be very tricky! Especially when they think their missing out on juicy gossip!

I feel you guys on the bloating. Luckily, I wear yoga pants to work when I'm not working from home, but my real clothes are already tight. I am looking into some below the belly pants and shorts for our vacation in a couple weeks because I don't want to be uncomfortable the whole time, but I'm not really ready for full on maternity clothes, either. Waah. I'll stop complaining now.

The blump is real. My husband noticed it... now to go into stealth mode for the next four weeks. @skipra: Dang muscle memory!

@maddyz: I'm in the same boat. I was soo hoping this time would be easier on the nausea front but nope, just as bad and maybe even a bit worse. Hang in there!

@Jasmum: Oh no! And pregnancy is the juiciest gossip there is! I hope you can keep it on the DL for another month or so!

@tlcbaby: I caved and started wearing my maternity jeans to work (demi panel so not obvious). It's glorious.

Measuring right on track at 7 weeks 4 days and with a normal heartbeat of 164. Most beautiful thing I've ever seen.

@mrsjd: yay!! What an amazing ultrasound!!! I still have a week and a half until mine

Anyone else wicked tired? I got a solid 8 hours of sleep last night, but oh my goodness, I'm so so so tired today

@MrsKoala: I think I am about to be right there with you!

@mrsjd: Oh my gosh, what are the chances? I'll be writing about my pregnancy soon after I am ready to share it. I went to CrossFit on Saturday and DH basically had to force me because he knew I would feel better, but I was so unmotivated and sick. It was so weird, though, because as soon as I got into the WOD I didn't feel sick at all. It came back after we got home, but I do find that I feel better when I am working out. I was able to CrossFit through most of my last pregnancy until my sciatic pain got too bad. Hoping I can make it all the way through this time.

@Applesandbananas: I took a three hour nap today! It was crazy. That means I have a lot more work to do tomorrow, but it was worth it.

@skipra: I totally feel your pain.....

So, in awesome (read: not) office developments, a sewer line has been cut at work and now two of our bathrooms are out of commission. My lunch is also trapped behind the sewer water and I refuse to walk through it. Panera is coming to the rescue, but I'm fantasizing about my cheese stick. This pregnancy is already so different, I was all about carbs and soda last time and this time I am adverse to sugary things (I threw out my oatmeal because it was too sugary yesterday) and am craving vegetables.

@mrsjd: amazing ultrasound! My first one is in 2 weeks and I can't wait! I am feeling everyone on the exhaustion...its crushing! Wearing a belly band for the first time and oh boy is it life changing - I feel free!!!!!

@Jasmum: Mine definitely comes and goes. Some days I have none, others I feel awful all day if I don't constantly eat or drink.

@MrsKoala: Maybe? I was all about the salty carbs with H and the baked goods.

@avivoca: I wish I was craving vegetables. I can't bring myself to eat any unless they are roasted and mixed with lots of other things like eggs and sausage.

@skipra: Hope you are feeling a little better!!

@Jasmum: Mine comes and goes. I was actually having a great day yesterday, but then by the time bedtime rolled around I was so sick and bloated I couldn't even sleep.

I am already thinking about how much work I can get done when I get home so I can take a nap before I have to pick my son up from daycare. The struggle is real.

@tlcbaby: So, I really only like veggies when there is cheese involved (but not string cheese, that stuff is grossing me out). Or roasted and covered in oil. Yum.

The only thing that has helped me combat my nausea is eating a lot. As long as my stomach isn't growling, I'm okay. Consequently, all of my office clothes are getting tight. I'm 5 weeks. It's going to be a long 1st trimester.

@tlcbaby: I forced myself to eat one today. I was all about it last week, but this yesterday I started to kind of hate it.

I had to leave OTF after doing the weights because I got too hungry and it was hot and I thought I was going to lose it on the weight floor. So I called my mom and she started talking about food and it honestly helped me feel better. Then I ate some french fries from McD's, half a can of biscuits, and a waffle.
