So just because I'm now 7 weeks pregnant doesn't mean I want to let myself get all fat. I know traditional dieting isn't healthy during pregnancy so I won't be doing that. But I will do my best to eat healthy.

Haven't been able to get back to the gym and I'm not sure when I'll be able to. Got to wait and see what the doc says.

Due date: August 16, 2004

Congradulations on hearing a heartbeat.

Hope all goes well from here on out.

Stephen

Posted by: Stacey

Yeah! Good Luck butterfly! I think its great that you want to eat healthy during your pregnancy.
Looking forward to following this with you!

Posted by: Sapphire

Congratulations!! That is the BEST news! I hope you have a very easy pregnancy and a beautiful healthy baby!!!

Posted by: jstar

CONGRATULATIONS!!! I had no idea you were expecting! Is this the first one? There were a few good articles recently in Oxygen on workouts for pregnant women. Of course, wait till your doc gives you the okay first before trying anything. You're fit, I am sure you will have a 10 min labor

I'm so happy for you!!! Keep us posted

Posted by: ponyboy

Wow BF, I hd no idea you were expecting - congratulations to both you and Fade! That's great news!

Posted by: butterfly

This is my 2nd. Cory just turned 16

and fade has a 9 yr old that's been my baby til now.

My mom thinks I'm nuts to start all over when my son is almost out of the house... but I don't think. I could never regret having a child but I might regret not having one.

Posted by: Stacey

this is your first with Fade though, right?

Posted by: butterfly

Yep! and we're so hoping for a girl!

Posted by: Stacey

awww thats great!! I thought it was!!!

Posted by: greekblondechic

Awww congratulations!!!

I was just talkin to my friend about this the other day, I dont want to gain a lot of weight when I get pregnant (in many years lol) let us know what kind of eating and workouts u are doing.. Im sure many of us will have kids eventually right?

Oh wow!!! Congratulations you two!

Whoever thought to call it "morning" sickness was way off!!!

How about any-time-of-day-sickness

Posted by: Stacey

Oh No!! You poor thing!!! that bad?? I'm sorry!!! Are you at work today? Or working from home?

So sorrrrrry

Posted by: butterfly

Yesterday wasn't fun. I did manage to come into work for half the day.

Today it's this cold I've caught. I'm not sure what meds I can and can't take so I'm going to the doc. I feel like I need an antibiotic but I don't know if I'll get one. I came in for half the day today as well.

I keep going to the bathroom every hour to lay down, we've got a coach in there

Going to the doc now, later

Posted by: Stacey

oh gosh, you poor thing! That sucks you have a cold. I know theres not to much you can take!

Thats cool you guys have a couch in there! I feel so bad for you
Good luck at the Dr.!

funny how the Vegas crowd keeps asking that.

I think I want to be an honorary internet uncle. I believe I had a hand in starting the whole baby making process by .... ummm, going out with them one night during the Vegas stay.

Posted by: katie64

Ann, your due date is my oldest son's birthday, gemini, oh I hope you have "her" that day, please post a pic when our showing a little more, would love to see you, pregnant women are the most beautiful of all women, I carried my boys low and my daughter high, boys sound like a drum beat, girls like a galloping horse(their heartbeat), so glad you started this journal, how exciting, take care sweetie

Posted by: katie64

Sorry to hear about your all day sickness, I had it too, carried saltines and ginger ale everywhere I went, poor babe, hope it goes away soon.....

Posted by: Triple Threat

Congratulations, Butterfly (and you too, Fade). The Vegas connection did cross my mind also.

Posted by: Fitgirl70

Baby? Oh my gosh, certainly I haven't been gone for 7 weeks.....I was just on a couple of weeks ago.......

Oh Butterfly, I'm so happy for you baby!! You deserve it. I'm so happy for you. I'm so happy for you....I can't stop saying it.

Oh my gosh Stacey, isn't this wonderful. I think you and I need to plan a baby shower sometime next year!! Keep us informed Ann please?

Get some Preggy Pops, No seriously. They are lolipops with Ginger in them, they worked wonders for my wife in the beginning.

You could also get an all natural gravol, that is out now with ginger.

Good luck and enjoy

Posted by: butterfly

Thanks everyone for being so supportive of us, it means bunches

NT - You got it Cyber-Uncle

Stacey/FG - You guys are so sweet to want to give me a baby shower!!! I love you guys!!!

Anything for you darling

How are ya today??
How was the weekend??

I went to Labares on saturday night- Crazy-

Posted by: butterfly

Since you asked... I felt terrible last week. When I left for the doc on Tues I didn't get back to work until today!

Turned out I had an ear and throat infection which he gave me Amoxil for but I had to stick to OTC decongestents. Got a bad cough and couldn't sleep well.

Since I can't take my IBS med, that all acted up.

I swear I thought I was going to end up in the hospital

I was counting how many calendars days I'd been ill in case I needed to go on short term disability.

Today, I feel better. My stomach hurts but at least all the other problems are better.

...except that I'm sooo tired!!!

Oh girl!!! What'd you go there for? Can't believe Matt agreed to let you go

Posted by: Stacey

Hey!! SOOOO SORRY YOU WERE That sick! Thats horrible!!!!! I'm sorry honey! Glad your better now though

uggg I hate being tired! I am very sleep right now-- I was up from 2am and on ~ During the night I got a horrible bladder infection--worst I have ever had.

I went to Labares for about 2 hrs for my good friends bacholorette party!~ Then we went dancing (where Matt was at w/ my brother)

It was fun!! I don't like labares-but had to take my friend.

I KNOW!!!!!! YUCK!!!

I'm so bored! I came in late so I got to make up the hours. But I'm so bored

Me neither!!

Posted by: Stacey

LoL at NT~ He really didn't have a choice--although if he would have said NO then I wouldn't have gone.

HE Knew how much I didn't want to go there--- I hate that place!!! And he over heard me telling my good friend Jentri that I was not looking forward to going--and wish we didn't have to---sooo that was good (and it was true!!)

Posted by: Stacey

HEY Butterfly!

How are you today??

Posted by: butterfly

Ok. I woke up about half way through the night with stomach pains and couldn't really sleep the rest of the night. I took some medicine and it's helping today but I'm so tired I could fall asleep right now

Posted by: Fitgirl70

Are you okay? Did you call your doctor or do you think it may be just the virus that's going around?

Posted by: butterfly

I think it's from not being able to take my IBS med and being out of the reflux med.

I made an appt w/ my GI doc for tomorrow. Hopefully, he'll be able to give me something to help that won't hurt the baby.

Posted by: Fitgirl70

Awww, that's great. Glad everything is okay with da baby!

Let us know what your doc says

Posted by: butterfly

I'm so tired today!!! It seems to get worse as the week goes on

Posted by: Stacey

Wonder why your sooo sleepy lately?? I wonder if it has anything to do with the weather--b/c I am more tired than usual lately also!!!!

Wish it would get warmer outside!!!!

Posted by: Fitgirl70

It's the baby.....being pregnant just makes you wanna go to sleep at the drop of a hat.

Posted by: BabsieGirl

Hey Butterfly

Congrats!!!! I'm happy for you and Fade. First baby together that sweet! This baby is special no doubt.

Oh...Morning sickness, I hear ya on that. With Kiley (my first) I hardly ever got sick. Now, with Brianna (my youngest) I went through spells where I would be sick in the mornings for a week, then the afternoons for a week and evenings for a week. I had time were I would be sick all day long and would sleep the day away. There is a pill you can get from your OB/BYN to prevent upset stomach if eating crackers isn't helping to absorb the fluid in your stomach.

So, are you moody yet?

Posted by: butterfly

Me moody? Never!

I don't think I'm so much moody but tiredness that makes me cranky.

Posted by: butterfly

GI doc gave me some new meds. Didn't seem to be helping last night but my tummy feels fine this morning, finally!!!

And since fade has been sleeping on the coach so his snoring wouldn't keep waking me up, I got some good sleep too

Posted by: Stacey

Oh yea, thats wonderful honey!!!

Posted by: Momma2

I would get sick if I took the prenatal on a empty stomach, told my Dr. he switched pre natals and all was well from then on.
Hope you get feeling better, the tiredness should let up a little here pretty quick.

I've been taking the same prenatal for 1.5 yrs before I got pregnant so I know it's not that.

I sure hope the tiredness eases up!!! You've given me hope

Posted by: Stacey

Hope your doing okay this afternoon

My prenatal pills don't make me sick either-- I have been taking them since August now.

Rain Rain Go Away, Come again another day!!!!!

Posted by: butterfly

I was having some pain/cramping last night and this morning, thought it might be a bladder infection. So I called my doc this morning and had to go in to see him. After talking to me he didn't seem concerned so I guess everythings fine. Don't know about the BI yet though.

Other than that I'm feeling pretty good today!

Posted by: Stacey

OHH Gosh-- I hope you don't have one-- I had one sunday, monday & tuesday--soooo GLAD its gone!!!

Glad your feeling good!!: )

ITS PRETTY OUTSIDE FINALLY- YEAH
Hope you guys have a good weekend!

Posted by: Fitgirl70

Hey B, I'm so glad that you are feeling okay today? Let us know about the BI...gosh, I sure hope it isn't one. I really hate those. They hurt so bad.

Did you get my card yet?

Posted by: greekblondechic

Hey B! Hope you had a great weekend and that your feeling okay today!!!

Posted by: butterfly

Just relaxed all weekend. I'm always so tired, wish I could take my Clenbutrx

Posted by: Fitgirl70

Awww, you can't take that girly. Is that stuff good by the way?

Hope you're feeling okay.

Posted by: butterfly

I know I can't. I just hate being so tired all the time.

I love Clenbutrx!!! Bought like 8 bottles before the ban on ephedra. VPX has replaced it with Redline. John likes it.

Oh and I did get your card! Thank you so much

!!!

Posted by: Stacey

I thought about trying RedLine~~ John likes it?? Cooool!

Posted by: Fitgirl70

Oh, I'm so glad you got it. You are so welcome sweetie pie.

I haven't heard of the Redline. I might check that out.

Later.

Posted by: butterfly

Ok. I am down to 2 choices for bedding if it's a girl.

Which do you like better???

Posted by: Stacey

awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

They are both soooo cute-- I lOVE pink though--soo I like the one on the right more!! Both are SOO CUTE!!!

Posted by: atherjen

OH my gosh!! I love the Gabriella one!! its ADORABLE!!

Posted by: butterfly

Would I be spoiling her too much if I got the canopy???

Posted by: Stacey

NO ABSOLUTELY NOT!!! I THINK YOU SHOULD!! I had a canopy when I was a baby~

Posted by: Fitgirl70

I like the really, really pink one with the canopy!!! I think canopies are so girly.

I hope when I get pregnant, I have a girl. It would be nice

Posted by: nikegurl

things like canopies make baby girls extra special/fun for moms.

it's beautiful!

Posted by: atherjen

no doubt about it, go with the canopy! in no way is it overdoing it! awww it would be so awesome! if you do go with that idea then make sure you take pics of it for us!

Posted by: Hammerlynn

I vote for the canopy too

Posted by: hikerchick

I loooove the pink one on the right! The canopy would be so cute! It's more for you anyway, the baby certainly won't care or notice so indulge yourself - get the canopy!!

Posted by: katie64

I vote the Gabriella and the canopy, love this

Ann, it is the best having a little girl, I really hope you have one, my daughter is my shining angel, just love her to pieces.

But as you know boys are pretty awesome too

Posted by: naturaltan

where are the choices if it's a boy ... the racing car bed?

Posted by: greekblondechic

i agree the gabriella one is prettier

However, my loverly hubby did help....

Glad you're feeling good sweetie. That makes me happy.

Posted by: Stacey

Any updates??????

Posted by: butterfly

Other than the roller coaster ride of waves of naseau, no

Thanks for asking though

Posted by: Stacey

UGGG SORRRY About all the naseau!! You poor thing!! When do you go back to the Dr?

Posted by: butterfly

Not until Feb 16th. I'm supposed to go every four weeks then later it goes to every two weeks then my last month every week.

John wants to get one of those heart monitors so he can hear the baby's heartbeat all the time

Posted by: Stacey

Oh thats right~ I should know how it works since My friend just had one--although she still had to remind me.

AWWWWWWWWW how sweet of John!!! I heard those are really neat!!!!!

Are you having any food cravings?? Or are you eating clean kinda???

Posted by: X Ring

did you know that some women actually have an orgasm when they give birth. I can try and find the article for you I cant remember where I saw it right now. So dont think it will absolutely be painful.

Posted by: butterfly

That's quite interesting X Ring!!!

I've already had one kid so I know what to expect but I have to say I'd never expect a big O

Posted by: atherjen

hahah interesting! gosh.. and I thought giving birth would be terribly painful!

Posted by: X Ring

i think I know where I saw it but i cant get to it until I get home, cant access the site at work. it was definitely interesting and made me kinda happy

I'm tellin' ya preggy pops

http://www.blueberrybabies.com/mg-pp.html

My wife used them the first few months, we still have them around just in case, or natural gravol (made with ginger root)

Now she just has tums all the time to fight the Heart Burn, we should have bought stock.

Just an FYI.

Hope everything is going well

Posted by: Stacey

Have a great weekend little momma!!

Posted by: X Ring

OK i got it
http://unassistedchildbirth.com/orgasmic.htm <--- it has a nake woman but more of an artsy picture

and i saw the link for it on www.entensity.net Pretty funny site overall. Kinda stupid and nasty sometimes though

gary

Posted by: butterfly

I really don't know if I buy it

My labor with my son was too painful to be anywhere close to "orgasmic"

Posted by: JLB001

My thoughts too Ann. Pain and Orgasm don't belong in the same sentence.

Posted by: X Ring

hey I was just passing along something I read. I found it a bit far out too but hey you never know, of course I dont know too much about child birth as I am not a parent let alone a mother. If it is for real I hope you all have this experience otherwise it was at least interesting to read

Posted by: Erilaya

B!! I am not around much anymore.. BUT.. oh what a treat to come and see.. CONGRATULATIONS!!! I am soo very happy for you and Fade I hope all is well and that your wonderful event is a much of a joy as it possibly can be!!

many hugs and blessings my dear!

That's really sweet, I can't wait until Brad wants to hear the baby's heartbeat all the time, but.....according to John, the only heartbeat he wants to hear -- is his own.

Posted by: butterfly

Good to hear from you Eri!!! And thanks

Posted by: butterfly

Yes, FG, I know

Unfortunately my drive has diminished from I suspect the naseau and fatigue.

Posted by: atherjen

Won't she be the most adorable baby

Posted by: nikegurl

You look absolutely beautiful and not fat in the least bit!

Posted by: Jill

I think prego women are SEX-E!!! You look great! The best thing about having a little girl is shopping for little girl clothes!!!! My cous just had a boy and the selection for boys clothes suck compared to little girl clothes!

How are you decorating her room?? I can't wait to see pictures of it. Did you buy the pink set?

How are you feeling? Morning sickness/afternoon sickness any??

Cravings??

I'm sooo curious!

Posted by: butterfly

The morning sickness is pretty much over. Now I have all these pains and cramps cause the ligaments are stretching. Plus, my doc said it isn't unusual for women to have Braxton Hicks contractions at this point.

Lately, I've been getting sooo hot I feel faint and sick to my stomach. And the heartburn has been real bad.

I get out of breath so easily now it's hard to like clean the house without taking many breaks.

It's kind of tough being pregnant, but it's all worth it

Posted by: Stacey

Oh WoW!! Sorrrry girlie.. your right it does sound tough..but so worth it tooo

Posted by: butterfly

I was thinking that rather then buy a crib and furniture to match... then really only use the crib for a couple years... then have to find a bed to match the baby furniture... of buy all new furniture... that I'd go ahead and get the set in the pic and just get a white crib from a re-sale shop or some place.

Oh and the bed has a trundle bed.

Posted by: butterfly

Dresser with mirror which I could also use a changing table.

Posted by: butterfly

Nightstand

Posted by: butterfly

And I think I'm going to go with this bedding set. Mainly b/c I love the ruffle and valence.

Posted by: Stacey

Butterfly that bedroom set is beautiful!! That is a VERY Smart idea toooooo!!!!!

I LOVE IT!! ITS So pretty!!

And I love that bed set.. soo pretty.. you know you should get a little wicker chair like in that pic. Awww that is sooo cute!!!

Posted by: sara

Butterfly- How you doing hon? remember me? we used to chit chat a little last year.. congrat on everything!
I love bedroom set too!

Posted by: Fitgirl70

Butterfly....how are you doing sweetheart? I've been thinking a lot about you lately, going through everything that I've been through over the past two weeks.

Say your prayers honey, hopefully in 10 days, I'll find out that I'm pregnant. We went through our first round of ovulation monitoring last week.

Posted by: aggies1ut

Furniture is pretty, but so feminine....what if she turns out to be a tomboy? lol

Posted by: lina

CONGRATS ON YOUR PREGNANCY!!!

I love the pic of the baby and the furniture! Looks like it's going to be a beautiful Princess room! I saved my ultrasound pics too... plus the cord, the first locket of hair, first tooth,....etc....

Now did you get a bell for Fade so he can be of service to you?

Posted by: Stacey

HI Butterfly!!

How are you feeling lately sweetie??

The baby has been having the hickups alot, so cute.

I go to the Doctor tomorrow for a checkup.

Posted by: Stacey

Hey Ann! Sorry your so tired lately! Hot flashes? That does not sound fun at all.

I am always thinking of you! I'm mailing Fade's stuff back tomorrow! Promise

So you guys should get it in 4-5 days--let me know if you don't!

Thats so cute that the baby gets hiccups!

Hope you stay COOL!!!

Yes, I've got the bell thing covered... even the kids know the sound

I was thinking of going with these accessories...

I love that! The white fabric with the flowers is the same fabric I was going to do for my daughter's room. We are redoing her room and I am going to do her curtains, canopy and dresser in a white batiste type fabric with flower embroidery!

Where did you find this? Do they have stuff for older girls?

Good luck at your appointment. How many weeks are you now?

I found the crib bedding at NurseryDepot.com

http://www.nurserydepot.com/cribbedd...2=632-0-0-0-0&

I haven't found regular sheets and stuff in this pattern. Since the valence and dust ruffle are the same, I was thinking of buying an extra valence and have it and the crib ruffle made into a twin size ruffle.

I did find this set at MarshallFields.com but there aren't any pictures and their customer service can't even provide a description. I want to go to the store and see but there are only 2 stores in Houston and a trip to either would have to be made on the weekend. I'm thinking the sheets and duvet must look like one of the throw pillows.

Well I gained too much in the first few months so I'm trying my best to slow down the weight gain. I'm not starving myself or anything that would put the baby at risk, I'm just not over eating and have cut back on the junk.

Gaining 25-35 lbs is typical for my age and height.

It seems like you're doing just fine. What about Fade?

He's doing good. He recently found out he passed his Pharmacy Technician certification exam. So, now he's looking for a job.

He's really excited about the baby! He loves to talk to her and feel her move and kick

Have you been able to workout at all during your pregnancy?

Posted by: butterfly

No, my doc. hasn't let me workout at all. Now he has limited the amount of time I can walk around to no more than 1.5 hrs at a time.

Most of the time I couldn't care less about eating. But I know when its time to eat and I make myself. Gracie has finally turned, head down, now and she likes to kick my tummy. Kind of makes you not want to eat, too ;-)

I'm soooo tired all the time and just ache all over. I'm so ready for her to come!!!

Posted by: Stacey

Uggg you don't make pregnancy sound fun at all

I'm sorry your so achy and tired all the time!!

Yea I wouldn't want to eat either if someone was kicking me in the tummy! Sowwwy babe!! Your almost there!!!!

Posted by: butterfly

Sorry sweetie but there is a part of being pregnant that isn't fun at all

But its all worth it in the end!

Posted by: Stacey

Oh girl I know-- I have heard some stories!!!! LOL! I just hope I don't have a hard pregnancy-since I have all the problems now.

Your right--totally worth the wait!!

Did you rest this weekend?? I hope you had a good weekend!

Does Gracie kick a lot?

As NT said, you've done this before

I've been wondering how you've been.
