Lose 35 lbs by Christmas of 2008!

(starting August 12th, 2008)




September 24, 2008

my family has been suffering a chest cold for a few days now and it's been awful. poor julian sounds so awful when he cries...it's all quiet , you can tell he's got a soar throat... but I think that we are all starting to get better.
We're in the process of trying to get julian to roll over. he doesn't even try when he's on his back but he tries when he's on his tummy cause he hates it so much. he still isn't close to sitting up on his own, but that's okay. when he does all of theses things on his own, i won't be ablr to cuddle with him as much cause he's going to try to roll right out of my arms! I'm not ready for that.

i've lost a total of 13 lbs that i know of... i haven't exersiced in a long time, but i continue to lose weight from eating healthy. and this cold will leave me with 6 pack abs from coughing so much haha!
I'm feeling somewhat confident. I still look in the mirror most of the time and feel like i haven't lost a single pound. but chicks are just like that i guess. only 3 more lbs to my pre preg weight and then after that it's just getting rid of the excess. it's actually coming off faster than I thought it would! I think that my weight loss goal is possible by christmas. i have my fat days every once in a while, but it's only days. I had chinese the other day and i felt so awful after i ate it cause i knew it was unhealthy.

that's all for now!!!


August 22, 2008

Well, I've lost 4 lbs in the past week and a half... you're suppose to weight yourself in the morning, and I weighed myself at night so hopefully it's a little more than that!
Julian is doing well. His colic is starting to subside a little. He's just the cutest when he smiles at us and he love to stick out his tongue at his daddy. He also does the superman move when we put him in the air. Arms back, legs up, he is so so strong!




/\ POST BIRTH!!! /\

May 31, 2008

Well... not much progress at 38 weeks! And hubby decided that he wanted to wait another week before we try to have baby Julian.

Last week I dealt with alot of depression. I was sad that I wasn't making any progress and I had gained alot of weight... After being completely miserable for a few days even to the point of avoiding my husband, I decided that I couldn't do it. I couldn't be that person. So, I set a goal, something to look forward to.

My husbands birthday is June 8th. If I had Julian around that date then I would be completely estatic. Also, my sister in laws birthday is the same day and I love her to death. My sisters birthday is the day before and hubby's sister's birthday is the day after! The 7th, 8th, and 9th! Of course, I wouldn't be sad at all to go into labor on the 6th, so he'll have his own day. BUT! In the end I guess It's Julian who makes the final decision when he's going to come out.

I haven't been sleeping well at all... I wake up a million times a night and just lay there and I'll fall asleep for a little while and wake right back up. Kinda irritating, but I know you girls have the same feelings too... Sucks.

ANYWAY... 38 weeks and 4 days today. Hopefully this little guy will be born in 6-10 days.

I'll remember to enjoy the time that my hubby and I have alone in the quiet. And I'll cherish our time together alone.




May 21, 2008
Well... I guess it's been a few weeks. Yes, I spent another day at the hospital a week after the last incident, but obviously they stopped it. Now when I get contractions I take Turbutaline. The stuff sucks. Makes you really shakey and gives you heart palpitations... Anyway.

I'm sure you've read my comment about sex. My husband (yes my husband, I'm married now!) and I figured out that every time we have sex, I have contractions and go into labor. It's nice to know that cause I'm thinking that I would like to have the baby on the 30th or 31st of May. Give it a round of rough sex and maybe I'll pop out a little baby. What makes them, makes them come out... who would have thought.

Weight gain is up to 27 lbs, which was my target weight gain for the whole pregnancy. Guess I'm doing pretty good since I didn't gain any weight at the last dr.s appointment. YES! Hopefully it will stay there.

Just another thing on my mind. A new friend of mine had a baby about 8 months ago. (I met her through my husband, it's his friends girlfriend). Well, we really hit it off and I think that we may be spending alot of time together when baby is born. Doing the mommy thing. Taking baby out to the state park to walk around and shed any extra weight that I've accumulated. I figure that It's easier to do when you have a friend joining you, that's trying to accomplish the same thing. In all truth I'd like to get down even lower than my pre-pregnancy weight. I've always looked perfect at 150.... DAMN. That's going to be alot of walking...

Will keep updated!

By the way, just wanted to say that I finally set up the crib/bassinette tonight. Had to put a blanket on it in case the cat tries to sleep in it.



May 4, 2008
Garth and I spent 20 hours in the maternity ward at Riverside on May 3rd to 4th.

My contractions started at 4:30 pm on the 3rd and I thought it could have been temporary, so i went to work anyway.
Work was excruciating so when I got off we headed to the hospital to find that I was already 3 cm. dilated.
Needless to say that wasn't good because I'm only 34 weeks and they gave me medicine to stop the labor.
Contractions stopped at 4:30 in the morning and good thing too, we were both exhausted. Most of the 4th was spent monitoring to make sure that i wasn't advancing any.
And I didn't.
So by the time that it's all said and done, I'm 4 cm. dilated and hoping that baby Julian doesn't make a surprise visit before the wedding.
And I'm done working too. It's too much physically after what just happened.

But for now we're all okay!
We'll keep you updated!





April 25, 2005
Okay, we're at a 20 lb. weight gain and I have to say that I'm not that ashamed of it. I know that a lot of people gain like 30-40 lbs in their first pregnancy, but I haven't and that makes me happy.
Baby is doing very good. I remember when I used to go to sleep and love it when he moved and now when I change positions at night I pray that he doesn't wake up. He's so strong that he'll keep me awake. I want to cherish my sleep before he's born.
Still don't have any stretch marks on my tummy, but I have a feeling that they will be coming soon. Urgh. I don't want them. But mom and sister got them, so I might as well too.
Next baby shower is April 27th! I'm really excited because there will be alot of people there. Hopefully I can catch up on the bottles and pacifiers because at my first shower I got one bottle and not a single pacifier. How crazy is that?

GETTING MARRIED IN 2 WEEKS ONE DAY!



April 14, 2008
Just a song that I've been listening to. Getting Married May 10th and it makes me think of my fiance.
Still don't know the weight of my baby. But everyone tells me that I'm getting big fast. I don't really feel like it though. But I trust their judgement.

Jason Mraz- I'm yours




April 7, 2008
Another Dr.s Appointment... AH! I gained 4 lbs! That makes a total of 17.5 lbs. I need to stop doing that. Good news though, baby is head down and I'm measuring good!
Baby Julian seems much more active now. Especially at night when I lay down. But it's a good sign that he's developing correctly! Two baby showers coming up! BABY STUFF! I've been so excited about this for months! 31 weeks+6 days today! It's flying by!


March 27, 2008
Dr.s Appointment was 3 days ago and it went very well.
I've gained a total of 13.5 lbs. (she said that was good)
NO longer dehydrated (cause I've been a lot lately)
My placenta is no longer low! (yay! baby gets more nutrients!)
And she told me that at my 27 week ultrasound, baby weighed a little over a pound and a half. Seems really small, but I was only 5lbs 9oz. when I was born, and every baby is different.
So, I'm am 29 weeks and 2 days. My feet are really starting to kick my butt at work. My back hurts so much any time I'm at work or sleeping and I'm so hungry all the time. And I've been having cramps at work too. Does that mean I'm working too hard?


March 21, 2008

28 Weeks!
And my goodness, Julian is kicking so hard now that sometimes it's actually hurting me.
I had my hand on my belly today and he kept rubbing his foot on my hand. It was really cool feeling! I could actually FEEL the limb! (He's right side down now.)
I've been thinking alot about the realism of us becoming parents and I think now it's really starting to sink in. I've been having dreams about him and they make me feel so good.
My back has been hurting regularly now too. I need to really watch what I eat and I said that we'd go walking at the state park, but when I walk alot, I have to pee alot. I guess I'll have to give up my modesty and pee in the woods... Won't be the first time.
My nesting is starting to kick in too. I've had this strong urge to clean out our closets and move everything to the garage to make room for all the new stuff we're about to aquire. We have such a tiny house and so much stuff between the two of us. Guess it's time to start cleaning house. If we can do without it, it's in the garbage. And his drumset takes up so much space when he keeps it in our room. There's nowhere else to store it when he's not playing, but it'll all work out.
We're getting married may 10th and even though I'm going to be huge, I'm really really excited. I love him so much. We were friends for 3 years before we started dating, and now we've been together for a year and a half. I couldn't be happier.
*Last ultrasound was a few days ago and it went really well. We'll be scheduling our 3d ultrasound soon for our 30 weeks. Can't wait to see a real face to my little boy!




March 12, 2008
Well, I'm now 27 weeks along. It's been so incredible. Baby is getting so strong and I now feel him regularly while I'm working. It's kinda loud, so it doesn't suprise me and the little guy sure does sleep when I'm off work. Until I go to bed, he wakes back up.
First Baby shower is April 12, my mom is throwing. There will be more people there than I expect, so hopefully, I can get all of my bases covered.
I'm carrying fairly low. My dr says that it's somewhat of a concern, but not something to freak out about. Hopefully she's right. She also said that I need to eat less calories. I put on 5 lbs in one month... So, I need to cut back on the fast food a little bit, and since it's getting warmer outside now, I can take a walk at the state park every week! Well, more like a waddle... haha.
Also a few weeks ago my breasts started leaking. Freaked me out cause I didn't know that it was suppose to happen this early, but it did. They don't hurt, I just can't really put too much pressure on them. Weird how all of these things are going on.





February 2nd 2008
After a long grueling chain of morning sickness, it subsided around week 18. Week 19, I felt the baby MOVE for the first time. By the way,

November 6th 2007

9 weeks 1 day
Well, I actually got sick for the first time yesterday morning. and strangley enough after it was all done, I felt great.
I've been having mild cramping, but everyone says that that is normal.
I'm becoming frustrated because my pregnancy is considered high risk, due to my lung problems and getting pregnant so soon after a miscarriage. Why would they wait so long to schedule my first doctors appointment. I'll be almost 12 weeks by the time that I get my first ultrasound! Argh. I just want to know NOW that my baby is okay. And my appointment is the day before thanksgiving! what is that? I don't know. I will have to ask for patience this time. Wish me luck.



Well, I'm 22 years old and my boyfriend and I are hopefully going to have a baby!
I had a miscarriage on the 4th of September, and found out that I was pregnant again on the 3rd of October. Ooops. And of course with this one, because I only had my miscarriage a little over a month ago, I'm scared out of my mind that I'm going to loose this one too. But, I got past my last point which was 5 weeks and 5 days for my last pregnancy, and today I am now 7 and a half weeks in to my second one

Actually it was a little sore but after the first few times it actually feels better!!


mommye2b - Friday, 20 June
Actually when I healed I was "like a virgin" My husband couldn't get enough! But in order for that to be a big deal you have to understand that my husband is the type of guy that can go 3 weeks with none so wanting it every day was a HUGE deal for us. And, yes, my stitches started falling out about 2 to 3 days after Bailey was born some even came out in the hospital.


mariela14 - Saturday, 14 June
Awww yeah. We were hoping it would be today since it is his birthday but it's not lookin like it unless things come on quick and are over before midnight. lol. but I'm thinking father's day tomorrow is good too.


ll bree ll - Friday, 13 June

nmck - Friday, 13 June
Congrats, Mommy! I know how scary and exciting it was to bring our little boy home from the NICU. 4 weeks later, we have a kind of routine going and it is a little less overwhelming. Enjoy!!

I'm writing in Ron Paul. I'm not voting for any of the retards that are left. lol.

One thing I will always remember about McCain is that he said he would keep us in Iraq for 100 years if he had to because when he was in the military he made an oath to support our constitution. I was just thinking, "Yes, okay, OUR constitution. Not IRAQ'S." Who gave us the right (dare I say the wonderful privilege *gag*) to police the world?

Anyway.. lol. It's getting close to the big day when you meet your son! You must be so excited.

mom2mady - Thursday, 5 June
Were almost there. How are you feeling? What has your doc said about your baby?


feltkoo23 - Wednesday, 4 June
Thought I was the only one with bad gas. I seem to be passing it like every 20 mins. Its starting to get old.


feltkoo23 - Sunday, 1 June
my back hurts no matter what I do. It is killing me and the first thing that my mother said was I hope its not back labor. Now I know my little man is postieor, but I would think that it would have been effecting me up to this point and it hasn't really. I usually get a little back ache but nothing like this. The past few nights I wake up with a horrible cramp in my right side that last a few hours, so maybe. I just don't remember any of this with my first pregnan y.


CD2007 - Friday, 30 May
Well they said its early labor, But I felt so dumb last night when things started to slow down...Im def not going back until either my water breaks or im having contractions that I can't talk through. It's all a waiting game now lol


babyrae - Friday, 30 May
Oh no! I mean that other girl... I hate when people post the same thing in every single week... I didn't mean you :-)


amandajlane - Wednesday, 28 May
lol, well maybe you could try diet sprite or something. . .no caffeine and no sugar. Ask the doc if you could try that to help with the water loathing lol


amandajlane - Wednesday, 28 May
I would not recomment drinking gatorade especially if you are already swelling. Gatorade is chalk full of salt and is bad about making you retain water. Thats just my two cents though


mumjac - Wednesday, 28 May
I managed to find a photo of my 38week belly if you want a look. I think I am a little bigger than you, but then I hadn't lost all my weight before I got pregnant, and I am big boned. It think you look fine, you have a nice round belly, you just don't have flab. And as long as the baby is healthy what does it matter what the dimensions are.

shortstuff - Wednesday, 28 May
LOL


shortstuff - Wednesday, 28 May
I feel like we are doing the same thing we did to conceive. We were TTC and I laid down for like 15 mins afterwards. Now we get to do that all over again. It's funny how what started it all is what ends it all.


polingn - Wednesday, 28 May
I have an appointment tomorrow as well... I'm friggin going for a walk and doing tons of shit today so that when I go in there tomorrow he can hopefully tell me something. He told me last Thursday he thought i'd have him over the weekend well that obviously didn't happen
