I apologize for the grossness, but it is amazing how much better I feel after I've had a good BM, especially if it's been several days of nothing. I guess the salad and broccoli with dinner last night helped. I feel like a brand new person!
I also had another painful contraction in my back. Is that bh or real? It locked my whole back and hurt like hell. Lasted about 20 seconds. Eta I made so many frozen meals bit totally overdid it. I'm so swollen today and I can't get my wedding ring off.
I had my husband get me McDonald's for dinner last night because all this talk of McD's cheeseburgers on here made me crave one. So I had a chocolate shake, fries, and a double cheeseburger And I didn't work out yesterday. But on a good note I'm really motivated to head to the gym later.
I had my first pregnancy hormone meltdown this morning. H has been great about encouraging me to keep up my exercise routine and eat healthy. Both of which have been harder for me to to do since getting pg - all I want to do is sleep and/or watch Law and Order and eat cheeseburgers and pizza. I have been non-stop hungry.
As of this am, I'm up 15 lbs and am only 17 weeks (I also never had m/s). I was complaining to H about it and he was basically like "I told you so". I started crying hysterically in about .2 seconds. We're normally very straightforward with each other and he wasn't being a jerk, I'm just feeling really sensitive about weight/body image right now. He felt absolutely awful about it and has apologized a million times.
hokiegirl82 I just had the same thought. I've been sitting here at a coffee shop thinking "I don't really need to go." When I finally did, it was like the heavens opened up LOL.

Ugh. I am so sorry. My H can be a little insensitive about my weight/body image sometimes too. He doesn't mean anything by it, he just doesn't get what it's like to be a woman and have body insecurities. The other day while I was getting dressed, he came by and jiggled my belly. I started screaming at him.
Have you talked to your doctor about your weight gain? What was your weight like pre-pg?

According to the weekly email from my medical carrier detailing different tips and things to expect, I should get a kick count card at my 28 week appointment. I'm already concerned because some days she is pretty active in there and others, I really just feel her moving 2-3 times a day in small spurts. I'm wondering if in the next two weeks, that activity will pick up to the point where her movements will become more constant. Any advice?

My doc is completely unconcerned - I brought it up about 4 weeks ago when I saw her last. We actually have another appt in just a bit and I'll probably bring it up again. I was 135 when I got my bfp, so still in the normal range she said.
On the one hand, the changes in my body are fascinating - this is my first pg - and I'M constantly commenting on myself to H. Things like "Look how round my sides are starting to get on this bump" and "It's really starting to look big!". So I think he thinks I'm ok with it - and I am. Most of the time. But not today. And apparently not from anyone but myself. Lol
pinotgrig - LOL, I would have been in tears at a comment like that. I'm not even a crier but pregnancy has made me soooo thin-skinned. My H recently made some comment about how I was "being such a nerd" (I don't even remember what about, but it was totally meant in a teasing/endearing way) and THAT made me cry. Ugh. Hopefully your H got the message that he needs to tread a little more carefully with his comments!
catsarecute - When my MFM talked to me about doing this, he said it was totally fine to pick the most active time of day to do it. My baby sounds similar to yours: when she's active, she's REALLY active, but I'll go through long stretches where I don't notice or feel her at all. I "failed" a NST a couple of weeks ago because she was too mellow when I was on the monitor, but they weren't worried because I told them she had kept me up late the night before with her wiggling around. As I get farther along, the only change I've noticed is that I get fewer kicks and thumps and more full-body squirms.
I'm very unmotivated to clean and our house is a disaster. I need to find motivation. The stairs are getting more difficult as the baby grows.
catsarecute I didn't get my kick count 'homework' until 30 weeks, but some days the baby will seriously do about 100 moves in one hour, and last night it was hardly the ten bare minimum. I'm 30 weeks 5 days if that helps. I think my activity at certain times of the day alters how the baby behaves.

The only thing grosser is how jealous I am of you right now.
I'm still coming off my high from my target deals last night. For $430 I got a glider and ottoman, a snuggamonkey cradle and swing, and a dr browns electric double breast pump. I really need to take a shopping break.
hokiegirl82 I just had the same thought. I've been sitting here at a coffee shop thinking "I don't really need to go." When I finally did, it was like the heavens opened up LOL.
SORRY, OTHER COFFEE SHOP PATRONS!
Glad you had a good morning!
My poor H has to listen to me talk about it too - "I just took a huge poop and feel so much better!" I have nothing to hide with H, and I'm sure he doesn't enjoy listening to it, but he just nods and says "good"

lol I've always had digestive issues and SO has his share too, so poop is almost a topic of daily conversation with us. Very romantic, I know.
