Thanks! I know I packed an apple here somewhere. Thanks for the support and enjoy the beach!

Melanie and others, Glad you are feeling better. Dehydration sounds awful. I'm still struggling a bit with low-blood sugar, but I have high-protein snacks ready to go in the work fridge (I saw Eggland's Best hard-boiled eggs ready to buy at the supermarket and bought a dozen; I'll have to...

Hi Tamara and Stephanie! Tamara, I posted an almost identical post to yours about 16 weeks ago. I think it was called "Help! I'm so Tired!". I was an avid exerciser before my pregnancy--sometimes I would do two Cathe workouts a day. However, my first trimester, first baby, and all I wanted to...

Hi everyone, I have definitely had those bad days, too, when I'm restless and ready to rip someone's head off (sometimes it's partly due to lack of sleep; I sure miss sleeping on my belly). Then there are good days like on this weekend, when I completed Basic Step and Pure Strength both upper...

Susan, this happened to me, too, especially in the first trimester. I was starved, ate a meal, and when I came up for breath, my stomache actually hurt. There were a number of times that I had to lay down and breathe because I felt I ate too much--when I really hadn't had that big of a meal...

oooh. They are so cute! I say eat up, rip off the bra and panty hose (oops I meant to keep it G rated sorry), and play some romantic music for the DH. We deserve it. :-) Thanks guys for sharing great pictures and keeping me smiling!

Whoa. My indigestion here at work suddenly led to a real feeling of light-headedness. I wet my forehead for a bit in the restroom that helped a little. Then I went and bought a lollipop. Yup. A lollipup and I feel better. It's the strangest thing . . . I feel mentally bad if I eat a doughnut in...

Thanks so much, Stephanie. I just sent you a message with my address. thanks so much!

Yuck Heart Burn Morning, Melanie, Susan, Allison, and everyone else, too! Melanie, keeping my fingers crossed on your u/s. Susan and Allison, it sounds like you guys are on top of the baby shopping! I'm trying now to shop and get organized as I know the last few months I probably just...

Stephanie, I'm due October 2. Sounds like that's a lucky day! If you are generously passing on infant Halloween costumes, I'm interested but understand if others are interested, too.

Me, too! I gained weight through my thighs, hips, and butt (and I've been trying to modify Butts and Guts and keep that going). I was told if you gain weight all over (and especially in the backside), then it will be a girl. If it's all belly, a boy. Amazing how everyone has their own theories...

Thanks for the good advice. Of course . . . That makes perfect sense that I should work in more light proteins between meals and not just expect fruit to fill me up. I'm filling up on fiber, but maybe it's the proteins that I really need. Regarding deli meats, I don't know, but I will confess...

Good morning, everyone, Glad everyone is coping and keeping their humor. And I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one who craves lasagne and pizza! All seems to be well in my 24th week. One new thing I've noticed is how easily I burned sitting out in the sun yesterday, and I never burned...

Thank you so much, ladies! I'm in suburban Maryland and really appreciate having some comparison costs. Have a great day! Dawn

Hi everyone, My first baby is due this October, and I have started to look at day care centers (I prefer centers over home day care). We have three day care centers in my area that offer infant care, ranging from $305/week to $340/week for full-time care (5 days). I've visited them all, and...

Regarding sleeping through the night, a friend of mine said something funny to me. She said that she believes pregnant ladies having difficulty sleeping--and needing frequent restroom trips--is evolution's way of preparing us for having little ones. She said at least it gets better--once the...

Thanks everyone for sharing so much information. I started jotting down notes as I read your posts so when I got to the end of the e-mail chain, I could thank everyone properly--but I'll probably forget something! (BTW, I'm more forgetful than ever. Can I blame that on the pregnancy? ;-) )...

Good morning, Allison, Melanie, Jen, Kristine, Priscilla, and everyone else. :-) So glad to hear m/s and spotting are over. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you all. The first trimester (this is my first baby) was really tough for me. In my 23rd week, I have most of my energy back. Yippee...

The weight gain! Yikes. I gained 10 lbs in a mos. :-( How did that happen? I thought I had been eating much better than in the first trimester. I have even been exercising more, too. Oh well . . . now where did I put that chocolate . . . :-)

:-) :-) Funny. Six-pack abs? Where did they go? I'm nowhere near as obessive about exercise as I once was; I'm lucky if I can get 2-3 30-minute workouts in per week these days. But I have read that having strong abs prior to pregnancy and doing some appropriate ab exercises during pregnancy...
