May 08, 2008

Oh yeah Oh yeah Second trimester... WOO HOOO!!!

you look great- better get some maternity clothes on hand for the day you wake up and need them :) Could be any day now :)

May 08, 2008

Lori I am wearing maternity clothes. If you look at me at 6 weeks and at 13 weeks there is a big difference. I have been in maternity clothes since last week because none of mine (other than those same sweat pants that I have 3 pairs of lol) fit!!

May 08, 2008

Oh Good! yay! Yeah its hard to tell since you are wearing the same thing in those pics... Its just so exciting! :)

May 08, 2008

I HIGHLY recommend BELLA BANDS. Check out this link, you can wear you pants unzipped and unbuttoned and no one can ever tell, I LOVE THEM!! Have only needed them on the days I dry my jeans and then can take it off after they stretch a little, but they are wonderful!!!!

May 08, 2008

I am going to look into those Jolene. ThX

May 08, 2008

Liane~ you look so stinking cute! You're looking great..you'll have no problem loosing the baby weight!

Much luv!

May 08, 2008

Your welcome, I love them, I got them in white, black and a tan, then im going to order some more here next week. they came really quick too. I wanted to get a few other colors, they are just soo cute. Like Tuesday night we went to eat with hubbys parents and I had a dark brown shirt on but it was kinda shorter and so I put the tan bella band on and it looked soo stinking cute. It basically looks like you are wearing a tank or another shirt under your regular shirt. I think you will enjoy them :)

Yes you are soo cute and you can really tell just in 7 weeks how much you changed, I cant believe its 7weeks inbetween those pics...it seems like yesterday you were posting the 6 week one....soo crazy. I gotta get on getting some done each week for sure :)

May 08, 2008

Thanks for the nice words girls. I even though I may not look that big I sure notice a difference that is for sure. I am going to see if I can get some of those bands off of ebay!

May 08, 2008

you're super cute! You're going to be a beautiful nine month pregnant lady.

May 09, 2008

Just wanted to let you know you can get bands similar to the bella bands at Motherhood also. That's where I got mine...and I loved it!

May 09, 2008

HEY CAN U WEAR THESE THRU THE WHOLE PGNCY?

May 09, 2008

well, Im not sure....for me, I wore in during the in between stage when I wasnt quite big enough for maternity clothes, but was way to big for my regular pants. I just left my pants unbottoned and unzipped and put the belly band over it. Worked well. It would definately strecth enough to fit me now, but I find maternity pants comfortable so I havent had a reason to try it.

May 09, 2008

OK JUST WONDERING IF IT MIGHT HELP WITH LIKE BACK SUPPORT

May 09, 2008

Liane you look super cute!!! Did you borrow maternity clothes from friends/family or did you have to go out and buy a bunch?

May 09, 2008

Hey Holly! I had to go out and buy a bunch of maternity clothes. The good thing about this summers style is that all the regular tops are baby doll tops so I havent had to buy one actual maternity top I can get tops that will probably fit me to the end for like $10!

May 09, 2008

Hey do you ladies mind if I ask you a question?

May 09, 2008

Not at all Erica :)

May 09, 2008

That's awesome Liane! :) If/when you do have to buy maternity clothes I think Target, Kohls and Old Navy have a really good selection.

May 09, 2008

I'm 5dpo today and yesterday, dh and I got into a really bad fight, to the point where I became tired from crying. Well we talked and made up but do you think this can stop me from getting preggo. I was only stressed that night and I'm not stressed anymore. When you got preggo did you and dh fight and was everything ok?

May 09, 2008

Holly we dont have target or Kohls here but I have bought some at Old Navy and places likes Fairweather, Suzie Sheer, etc...surprisingly they have really large baby doll shirts! Of course bottoms have to get at mat stores but that is fine!

May 12, 2008

Chrissy just wanted to note that the Bella Bands off ebay are like 30 dollars for 3 of them, and I heard at motherhood that just one was like 20 dollars, but I could be wrong, thats why I got mine off Ebay and they are super comfortable and I love them, because right now im in that inbetween stage.

Liane I so agree about buying tops not in the maternity section. My best friend has been doing that and she is 35weeks pregnant and the tops still fit her and she is HUGE. Its soo much cheaper cause once you hit the maternity tops half the time you are paying more because its maternity. Im trying to shop junior tops as long as I can :)

May 12, 2008

I just bought 4 baby doll tops this weekend that will get me through to the end if not pretty darn close to the end. I got 2 for $10 and then 2 for $20 @ Stitches!! Cheap cheap!!!

May 12, 2008

Wow that is darn cheap, 2 for $10 is what im talking about...haha. Kohls is having buy one get one free, and most of theres are 20 so it will be 2 for $20 as well. Im going shopping either today or sometime this week while hubby is gone.

May 12, 2008

Yep why pay $35 for a true maternity top when you can get the same thing for $10 somewhere else!!

May 12, 2008

Thats EXACTLY what im saying. I was just looking at maternity shops on Kohls site and Target after looking at the babydoll type shirts, and OMG the same shirt basically is 10-20 dollars more for a maternity shirt. So long as my preggo but can fit into the juniors tops im going to, now maternity pants, well we arent gonna get around that...haha. I can for a little bit longer with those bella bands, but this week or today im going to buy some maternity shorts, capris and jeans, im super excited :)))))

May 12, 2008

Yeah pants we cant get away with but just getting those other tops will save us some good $$. Although when it comes to pants I was able to pick up some capris that that soft elastic waists at Wearhouse One the Jean Store for $20. They came in 3 different colors. They werent even at a maternity store but they are like maternity pants. You should keep your eye out for stuff like that because there are some out there!

May 12, 2008

I will def do so. Im going to Kohls today, you should look online cause they have buy one get one free so basically you are getting pants for 20 a piece. Great deal. I cant wait to get some today. Im soo bargain shopping thats for sure, so I can spend more money on the baby...hehe!!

May 12, 2008

Good idea Jolene!

May 12, 2008

:)

Def look on there site, cause its a great deal and im sure you can get them shipped right to ya!

May 12, 2008

Ohh Girls! I got a ton of stuff from Kohls! All their meternity clothese were buy 1 get 1 free! I got 8 things for $80! And that even included a sun dress! Def. go there if your in need of some maternity clothes!

May 12, 2008

And Motherhood has great jeans and capris! My jeans were $24.50 which I didnt think was too bad and the capris were the same! And they fit great! The paif of jeans I have have the belly band sewn right on top and it comes right up to under your boobs! Great for me because of my high large and in charge belly!

May 12, 2008

Thanks for the advice on that ladies. I will def check out the site!

May 12, 2008

Haha Maria thats soo funny. Im going and getting the pants with teh bands in the already so I can grow and not have to keep getting new pants...hehe. I figure I can roll part of it down if it doesnt go all the way up or something.

They have buy 1 get 1 free in all the junior babydoll tops that fit great as maternity shirts, and they are probably 10 bucks cheaper for a shirt then in the maternity, so im super excited about going. Im about to go right now :)

Yall have a great day and talk to yall soon :)

May 12, 2008

Liane,

OldNavy.com has tons of cute maternity clothes too and they are pretty cheap. I am just afraid to order something off the internet because I need to try things on!

May 12, 2008

Yeah I think I might try kohls today too! Baby just moved! I think he's saying hi to you girls!

Jolene, try the maternity section too... all those clothes are buy 1 get 1 free too!

May 12, 2008

Yes Maria that is the tricky part!!! I got two really nice pairs of mat jean capris at Old Navy already. They are sooo nice!

May 13, 2008

If you have an Old Navy around you I hear if you order online and it doesnt fit you can take it back to the store. I would check on that but if thats the case we have one right near us, but doesnt have a maternity section.

I went shopping yesterday and didnt come back with a thing, went today and didnt go maternity shopping and spent tons of money. I think I hate clothes shopping period. I love shopping for the house and stuff...haha.

Also im in the inbetween sizes right now on pants for maternity so in the next week or so im going to try and go back, when I start showing more :)

May 13, 2008

This is where your belly bands come into use!!!

May 13, 2008

Exactly! They are wonderful.

My jeans after wearing them in after washing always fit great, that first time I put them on I have to squeeze but I stretch and stuff and they fit great. So im soo happy I have 2 pairs I can wear right now, and 1 pair of capris that are jean, and one pair that are black (with the bella band), im going to see if a white pair fit with the bella band soon. So I think im covered for a bit, I just need some new tops :)

May 13, 2008

I am still in a couple of old pants that I usually wore to work but for the most part nothing fits anymore lol!

May 13, 2008

Soon you will be all maternity :)

May 13, 2008

Yes Ashlee 14 weeks tomorrow!! I can't believe it. I cant wait until my appt next week so that I can hear their heartbeats again. It is just a great way to reassure myself that all is well.

May 14, 2008

I keep forgetting to take pics every week. I have so much going on with remodeling our house and what not that it just totally slips my mind. But once I start really showing I will start taking pictures. I have the one from 7weeks, 10weeks, and so once I start to pop over more from the 10week one then I will take a picture. You could tell at 10 weeks in a tankini that there was something starting to show, but it has remained there until its ready to pop over...haha. It will be coming soon I know and I will post a picture for sure :)

Liane I didnt think I was gonna get a doppler but now I really want to cause my appointments for some reason are 5weeks apart and I just want to make sure everything is fine, till the baby starts to move then I will probably return it :)

May 14, 2008

I have an appt next week then after that I have to start going every 2 weeks for checkups!

May 14, 2008

Ahh you lucky duck you get to go every 2 weeks cause of the twins right :)

I dont start every 2 weeks till my 28th week. I think soon they will go to 3 weeks but and im thinking maybe its after this appointment June 13th :)

May 14, 2008

COngrats Liane!

When you found out you were pregnant did you have any indication of carrying twins? (excessive morning sickness or anything?) or was it a surprise when you went in for an ultra sound??

May 14, 2008

Yes Jolene it is because there are two of them!! I dont mind. The doctors office is just 2 mins walk from my work so it is awesome!

Lisa I thought there might be a chance because I knew that I had ovulated on both sides because I felt it. Other than that nothing. I was having stretching pains starting at 4.5 weeks. It hurt when I coughed, rolled over, etc so I was actually worried that it was an ectopic. I had nausea but never threw up once. I was lucky in that way.

May 14, 2008

Aww thats soo great Liane, I know that will be exciting for you to go every 2 weeks especially being a 2 min walk from work, thats just awesome :)

May 14, 2008

I just checked up on this post after a long time... but.. I wanted to chime in.. bella bands ARE awesome!!! I still wear mine every once in a while with one of my skirts that I can't zip up, but can still wear under my belly if I use the band to hold it up. there are other brands... like the tummy sleeve that are a few bucks cheaper!

May 15, 2008

Yeah I love the Bella Bands and I think I will keep using these until I cant use them anymore...hehe. My butt is getting bigger and other things so some certain things that fit dont fit now...haha. Once I have this little one im losing all the baby weight plus another 20 pounds, but with the help of Birth Control and eating right I will drop all that in no time hopefully casue BC makes me lose weight cause of my PCOS its really weird. Everytime I get off I gain weight everytime I get on a lose weight...soo odd but LOVE it!

May 15, 2008

Thanks Liane.

I was just wondering because I know that I had ovulated from both sides this past month too- and then I got a BFP! So I know there is a chance of twins, but I figured I would have a lot more morning sickness if there were two. SO far I've just had bouts of nausea and weird little twitchy feelings in me. Hmm.. I guess we will see on May 27th (first U.S @ 6.5 weeks)if there is one or two.. either way I am thrilled! Did you go in for an early U.S too? If so did you see both heart beats right away?

May 15, 2008

Hi Lisa!! Well we went in for our first ultrasound at 6 weeks 5 days and both babies did have heartbeats! You will def. have to keep us posted on this!!! Did you take meds, use iui?

May 15, 2008

Liane,

Yeah I was on 50 mg Clomid and during my midcycle ultrasound the doctor said I had two great follicles/eggs that would be released and then she gave me the trigger shot (HCG) to ensure they both came out. No IUI.....So now I just have to wait until May 27th.. I know it's not that long but... I'm excited to see a heartbeat (or heartbeats)!!! oh the countdown.... 12 more days... well ACTUALLY 11 days and 10 hours I think :D

May 15, 2008

Lisa that is great!! I can't wait to see how many you are having!!! Maybe you will be just like us and get preggo with two with natural bdcing!!! Either way, one or two it is still so exciting either way@@@ Congrats again and please keep me posted!!!

May 16, 2008

OMG I am So excited..........My U/S appt has been moved from May 27th to May 19th I too was on 50mg Clomid and I O'ed from both sides. I am 4weeks 5days pregnant today!!! I have had some streching sensations that hurt when I coughed or streched out Hmmmm Weird! All I know is when I had my mid cycle U/S the Lady said if I got pregnant this cycle I could very well have Twins. That would be Awsome! My Dh has kids girl and boys I have girls. When put together they are all 2 years apart 5-7-9-10-13 If we have twins we would have 7 kids OMG How wonderful would that be!!! Good Luck Ladies, I'll let you know how it goes!

May 16, 2008

*oops DH has 3 kids 2 boys 1 girl

LOL Number Lock messed up

May 16, 2008

WOW! Congratulations Shae! Keep us posted!

We must be about the exact same in weeks! My last cycle started April 13... so that makes me 4 weeks and 3 days????

May 19, 2008
