[PennylaynePP]

hey girl! how are you?? how was your Christmas and New Year's? Was your hubby super excited that you're having a little boy??? I bet he was

[pennylayne]

I am fabulous! lil man is punching up a storm and yes, DH was grinni'n ear to ear. The second picture was like DUH its a boy for sure, no hiding those frank and beans. we picked a name, but were keeing it a secret until hes born...well I guess I could tell you in a pm sometime lol. I officialy hit 200lbs and my left leg is already swollen, just the left not the right, go figure. Im trying to stay under 218, which is what I delivered DD at. I only got down o 175 last time so Im already mapping out my wheight loss goals for after the baby. ok TMI...Im rambling now. how is everything with you and your belly?

[PennylaynePP]

sounds like you're doing great! I know how you feel with the little one moving around like a wild man! mine has been crazy lately but i love it! our picture was the same....no mistaking he was a little man he was proud of his goods to say the least that's a good idea to figure out your weight loss plan now. then you'll be ready and likely to stay on track better. i'm going to have to do that! that stinks that your leg is swollen. i've had some swelling in my ankles but so far that's it. and my back is always killin me, but what can ya do? my belly is getting big which is fun bc i havent gotten used to it so i keep bumping it in to things i'll get the hang of this pregnant thing eventually though!

[pennylayne]

Is thiis your first pregnancy? gracious, I don't think I ever got the handle of being pregnant, just now, the second ime around, I know what to expect more. as much as I love my what to expect book, nothing printed on paper can prepare your for the real deal, and how your own body works. I think pregnancy is the first time we really see the uniqeness of the individual, both the mother and the child because every pregnancy is different, and every child acts different in the womb.

I told dh not to touch me last night becuase I felt like a blob, and he said, "but your my blob, and its ok becuase your pregnant" HUGE comming from him becuase he ususally makes fun of me. but im looking forward to being able to work out and get moving more. at this point, I can' even navigate target quickly without some pulling and stretching and it hurts like hell. anyway...

make sure you put your ankles up and drink water to help wash out any sodium you might have had to help contribute. I asked DH for subway last nigh because I feel like Im drowning inn salt. everything I eat seems to be loaded with salt!! I need to do some major fruit and veggie shopping this weekend!

[PennylaynePP]

yeah this is my first pregnancy and it's been a crazy adventure so far. i think it's crazy how it's so easy to forget about the belly and just run into things all the time. and i'm getting baby brain and forgetting everything lately. it's great i've definitely learned a lot about myself through this pregnancy and it's been good. i'm a lot stronger than i thought i was for sure. I know what you mean about feeling like a blob. i feel like that all the time and it makes df so mad. im definitely getting to the point where i feel like a bit of a fatty sometimes. especially with some of the stuff i eat...i am definitely with ya on needing to go fruit and veggie shopping!!! have a good rest of the week girly and let me know how you're doing

[pennylayne]

hey you! how ya been? here we are another week closer to holding out babies! anymore belly bummping into things?

[marine.gf]

sorry i've been away for so long...i had my baby on monday and have been in the hospital...so now ya know who I am he was born at 24 weeks 3 days and was 1 pound 9 ounces. I was on bed rest for a week before I had him which was an adventure but we're doing good now. He's getting a blood transfusion today and they're starting to give him more fluids so hopefully he'll start to put some weight on soon bc he's just a little guy how have you been the last couple of weeks?

[pennylayne]

holy hell!! well since the cat is out, I have you too lol OMG Sweetie I wish I could swoop down there and hold you and be with you. Whatever you need please please let me know. You seem surprisingly optimistic, which is awesome becuase I would be a freaking wreck. how are you doing physicaly and emotionaly? I'll email you my phone number, Anytime you need to call please please call. Its not problem at all. I am praying for you and don't even worry about doing or getting anything to me at all ever, You need to spend as much time as you can with him right now. I hopr your DF is doing ok too. Send pictures when you can ok?! I love you and I want everything to work out ok.

[marine.gf]

thanks so much! that's crazy that we had eachother i'm trying to stay upbeat about everything that's going on bc i know i need to stay strong for him. i had my first mini break down today after seeing them start the blood transfusion though, but he'll be ok. he's a fighter that one! i'll put some pictures up tonight or i'll email you some or something. either way you'll get some soon. oh i got married on wednesday! so we're a happy crazy little family now i'm doing well physically, i was really sore all over for a couple of days from being in bed all day every day, but other than the stiffness i'm fine...just very tired! and i'm kind of a wreck right now, but trying to hold it together for my little man, i don't want him to see mommy upset and then start stressing out. i'm getting ready to head back in to see him again, i'll let you know if anything changes but right now he's sleeping hard and working on growing for us talk to you later on!
