Congrats Jen!! Thanks for sharing your story. Enjoy being a mommy!

I'm in the same boat that Sandra is in. We don't plan to be in our current place for too much longer. So we are not decorating. When we move into a more permanent place, i totally plan on going all out on the decorating. I am thinking of a purple and pink theme. imani

Glad everything is ok! I had a Quad screen done. It is part of the routine screening that is done at my Dr's. I was ok with doing it since they only needed to draw more blood. imani

Hi all! I had an emotional week. I went for an interview last wednesday for a new job and it was the toughest thing I have ever been through. I found out on Thursday that I didn't get the job. I have started to move on and am focusing on the arrival of the baby now. As a result of all the...

I had a busy work week so only got 2 workout days in. I did 10min. sol. targeted toning arms and thighs on Monday and then did an walk on wednesday. All is going well and I am feeling fine. Hope everyone had a good week. imani

The major ache/pain that I have now is my right hip hurts. It hurts all the time but certain movements make it worse (like getting into the car). I am trying to remember to do some prenatal yoga poses to help relieve the pain but I'm not as consistant as I need to be. imani

I took it easy last week since there was some concern about the size of the baby. I worked out on friday and saturday. Friday I did 10 min. sol. targeted toning arms and stretch. Saturday I did Quick fix prenatal abs section. I am starting to feel more tired too Wendy! Plus I find I need...

I second the recommendation for the girlfriends guide. After reading all the serious books, it was a hoot! imani

Just wanted update everyone. I had my ultrasound today and my little girl is growing just fine. She weighs about 3lbs and 10oz and looked so big compared to the last ultrasound at 20 weeks. The ultrasound technician said that the measurement technique is so primitive! So I officially feel...

Hi all, I had a good week last week. I can't remember the exact workouts I did on each day. (I have that written out at home). I concentrated on a lot of yoga since my hip has been bothering me and the yoga postures are really helping to lessen the pain. I did Yoga for Your pregnancy...

Thanks for all the advice. I am feeling less worried today. I am not petite and both me and my husband were really big babies but I am carrying very compactly. So I am hoping that the baby is just positioned differently and measuring is not a good estimate of the baby's size. I am trying...

Hi all, I just got back from my doctor's appointment and she said that I am measuring 3 cm too small! She said I should have an ultrasound to make sure the baby is growing ok and then she said not to worry. Ha! How can I not worry. Anyway I just wanted to see if anyone else has had this...

Jennifer, I hear you about the rib pain. The ribs on my right side hurt almost all the time! Imani

Sandra, Great news! I remember my 1st U/S. I was in tears the moment the baby moved! I didn't realize that it would be moving all around so early. imani

I don't think that enough research has been done especially since Splenda is a relatively new product. I would recommend avoiding chemicals like these during pregnancy. (my doctor told me to avoid them as well) imani

My husband and I tested before my period was even due because we had planned a trip to Alaska with my parents that week. So we wanted to know before we left for the trip. The home tests weren't really showing much so I went for a blood test. We found out on Tuesday and I had to hold the news...

Hi all! Good to hear from everyone. I had a bad week last week. I caught this cold that was going around and could do absolutely nothing! It was a chest and head cold so I was coughing and blowing my nose all week! I am finally starting to feel better so I plan to ease back into exercising...

I am loving my little ticker! I also put it on my desktop so I can see it all the time. I've been getting all of those email updates too! Eventhough they all say basically the same thing, I just can't get enough! I have really been enjoying my pregnancy. imani

RE: Gym Style Back, Shoulders, & Biceps-modification on... I think amazondotmom is refering to the prone exersice where you lift your arms and legs and look like superman flying. I don't think this move is easily modified. Maybe you could dead lifts with light weight but if your belly is...

I got 40% boy, 59% girl and I'm having a girl! So it worked for me. imani
