pregnancy bandwagon that is. I took a test a mere 1/2 hour ago and it was positive. I'm not the far along at all, like the first week of the month. I'm not sure if I'm excited or not. I don't look forward to morning sickness or anything but I have been sick lately have a bad cold. But to create and then meet another human is so extraordinary and I can't wait to see if it's a boy or girl.

My selfish reasons are that I'm just starting to finally bet my life/body/weight mindset in place and now this will really through it off. I guess I'll have to dig out my pilates pregnancy dvd's after all!

I'm happy don't get me wrong. And the Chinese Gender Chart, says this one will be a girl! LOL!

Congrat Donna! I hope you have a very happy and healthy 9 months. Better you than me, LOL!

All the Chinese gender calendars said I was having a boy my second pregnancy and the cow lick/swirl on the back of my DS's head predicted that it would be a boy. Imagine my surprise when the u/s tech said "girl", LOLOL! You have a 50/50 shot ; )

By all accounts everyone is a little surprised even though I've alwayss said maybe. My best friend was the happiest for me, another friend told me I was crazy. my mom it was hard to gauge her response, she's happy if I'm happy. My dad shook his head, he's a worrier. Dh was happy, how can he not be. I was a bit worried and feel a little selfish because dh is getting up there in age and ready to just enjoy life. I know he's happy though and I feel a little bad about stuff I shouldn't. Dh says it was meant to be and he always looks at life like that I guess. I guess I'll have to get a mini van for sure now! After I gave a bunch of my baby stuff to my cousin too! I forgot I gave her the pregnancy pilates dvd, I'll have to ask her if she's using it. I do have the Mari Windsor Pregnancy Pilates book, so I'll start with that.

I started my prenatal vitamins yesterday. We've told too many people already and it'll be all over town my nightfall! LOL!

Congratulations Donna!!! I'm so excited for you!!

I've had a hard time being excited, feeling like its real, accepting that I'm going to get bigger, thinking about all the changes that are going to happen, etc, etc, etc with this pregnancy. I think maybe its that adding a second child isn't so daunting, but a 3rd (or even more) will shake things in your life up quite a bit. Oh and we have no baby stuff anymore! Normally I'd love getting to shop, but we don't have any extra money for it this time!

CONGRATULATIONS!!

BTW Mari's Pilate's Pregnancy book is a great read. Informative stuff! Belly Rubs

I've dug out my Mari Pregnancy Pilates book, haven't read it though. Doesn't look like the first trimester is modified at all, so I'm going to continue with the regular workouts for a bit. My cousin is not using the DVD so I'll get that back from her this weekend.

At least I haven't gained any more weight lately. I'm trying to eat good and today started to exercise. I"m getting morning sickness that lasts all day but it's not too bad at times. So I'll do some walking. My doctor said i could continue with all my exercise, I was worried about it so I asked her.

I keep thinking that 3 kids will be difficult but I remember a friend of mine telling me that her mother told her that after 2, it gets easier. She had four siblings, my friend, so I think her mom knew what she was talking about but maybe she just just a mother extraordinaire.

I'm not as freaked out now, that I've had a week to let it sink in. So I'll be taking on the girl vibes I can. Thanks.

I'll send you lots of girl vibes if you send some to me too, ok??

Congratulations! When I found out I was pregnant with number three, I was in total shock and denial. I had many emotions and I must admit, happiness was not one of them. I was not emotionally or finacially ready for a third child at all. I just had a yard sale a few weeks before I found out and sold every single baby thing I owned too. Figures, right?

But my little surprise is three years old now and he has completed this family and has a firm hold of my heart. I love having three kids! It's an adjustment, but I have learned since then that pretty much every third child is an "unexpected surprise"!

Congrats!
