I am trying so not to stress about weight. It is really hard but I know that baby bean is a blessing and it is worth it in my heart but in my evil mind keeps saying watch your weight only gain XXX if not you will be miserable..

I need to relax and enjoy this journey

my confession, we haven't told my family yet and I'm a little over 7 wks, and my sister is a little over 11 wks, LOL. And my mom keeps calling me to tell me how bad my sisters day was b/c she's soooo tired and emotional from being pregnant. LOL!!!

There were tears running down my face yesterday I was laughing so hard!!!!

To go along with a pp.....after nursing 4 kiddos for a grand total of 7 years...I am no longer even filling out an a cup! So.....one of my first thoughts after getting preggers was "Yay! I'll have ta tas again!"
Also, this is the happiest I have ever been to be pregnant. Not that I loved my other babes any less...but with my first I was clueless and niave, with my second I was terrified because of my risk for a repeat partial molar pregnancy (I lost a baby in 2001 due to a partial molar) with my third pregnancy I was living with my mom and my husband had taken off so I was just stressed and with my last one my then EX husband had left me to go live with his new pregnant girlfriend so I was on my own and very depressed and overwhelmed. This time around I have a wonderful support system (including a fiance who is just over the moon about having a new lil one and rubs my belly all day) This is the 1st time I get to just revel in the being pregnant part 100%. I feel a little guilty for cheating both myself and my previous children of that experience.

LOL! I love it.

Whenever I browse the maternity sections at clothing stores, I've totally been poofing out my gut so I don't look like a non-pregnant weirdo. Same thing when I look at any kind of pregnancy supplements, teas, etc.

You guys all have good ones. lol

Mine? It seems like I've managed to tell everyone in the world since Sunday...except my family. I haven't spoken to my father in a year (and don't plan to) and when I told my mom we were pregnant with DS, she didn't even talk to me for the rest of the day. (My mom has issues accepting the fact that I've been happily married since I was 18 and that I actually PLANNED my first child almost 2 years later). I have no idea how I'm going to tell her. We never got around to telling her about the last pregnancy, and then I lost it right at Thanksgiving, and had to spend the entire day at her house in extreme pain and couldn't come up with a way to say "btw, I was pregnant, and I'm having a miscarriage. That's why I'm being lazy and making my husband chase my son around."

I guess my confession is that my sister is pregnant too!! She's not telling our parents yet, even though I told them on Mother's Day (about myself). It's her 3rd--she has a 7 year old DD and a 19 month old DS. I know once she gets over the shock she'll be totally fine about it. I am just cracking up about it and I think it's really sweet that I have my sister to be pregnant with and due at about the same time, I'm guessing

I have a similar story. My cousin and I have alternated years being pregnant for nearly 6 years. I called her to confess, and tell her I wasn't going to tell the family for awhile. That's when she confessed she is also pg. EDD 12/30. I am psyched to be pregnant at the same time as her. She isn't telling either, so I thought I would feel a little better about it, but I don't really. I talk to my parents almost everyday, and I feel like I am lying by omission every time I don't tell them. We also think our 5 yo. has caught on, so now we need to think of a way to tell them before she lets the cat out of the bag.

Bloomingstar and mamajody, I wish I was in your boat! My cousin is also pregnant right now - about 12 weeks I think, so she's 6 weeks ahead of me. It sucks.

The problem is, she's 19, accidentally knocked up by a 17 year old high school student (!), and living at home with her parents. She constantly posts on facebook about either how much she loves this guy or how he's never there for her, depending on the day and probably what she ate for breakfast. My sister and I have a bet about how long before they break up for good (schadenfreude, I know, we're horrible). When she "announced" the pregnancy on facebook, I told my mom and my other cousins told their parents and then the whole family knew and her dad was really pissed that everyone found out. Everyone is really disappointed in her and it's just kind of sad all around, since she's not going to be able to provide for this kid on her own (and her parents can barely help) and we all know the dad is going to vanish.

Sooo... the point is, I feel like I can't tell the family for awhile, since they're still processing her pregnancy. I also feel really bad for her, since everyone will be thrilled with me being pregnant. It's such a bummer all around.
