My stretch marks are not all from my kids. I developed fast as a teen and then got overweight as an adult. They faded afterwards. You’d really have to look for them now. I did use cocoa butter based lotion. It just felt good.
Oh, I know you can have a healthy baby with it - I just don't want to have to give up my carbs and sweets even for a few months. I do have a top layer of wedding cake calling my name in November, after all!I had gestational diabetes with my second because I was 5 yrs. older by then and to put your mind at ease everything was fine.
I followed the doctor's instructions, watched what I ate, carried to full term and baby #2 was perfectly healthy. This type of diabetes usually goes away when the baby is born which is what happened in my case. Thinking of you and wishing you a normal delivery and childbirth.
Ya, I had to watch carbs and could not have any sweets, not even on my birthday and I didn't cheat. But I would have done anything to have a healthy baby and I know you would do the same. Hopefully you won't test positive for gestational diabetes and won't have to worry about it.I just don't want to have to give up my carbs and sweets even for a few months.

Oh man, this thread always makes me hungry! I want that coffee cake with the crumbles on top! I don't usually like dessert, but I love stuff with crumbles.Bebe is the size of this coffee cake, a flaugnarde, an ear of corn, a water bottle, an American guinea pig, and about 12.7 oz
It looks like more, but only about .4 of an inch in length and a couple of ounces (I messed up in my last post, it was 15, not 12 ounces) but they're supposed to really start packing on the weight now.Wow, Bebe grew a lot since your last food post!
I saw it a couple weeks ago and couldn't resist buying it. When I saw it would be the right size for this week I'd been saving it. Finally had some this evening. Sooo worth the wait.Wow! Your bump is growing too! I love the cereal choice!
That's ok, my doctor told me boring is good.Not much new with me this week. Just chugging along.
You and every other good parent out there has that exact same thought. You do it one day at a time. When you make a mistake you apologize and try again. And honestly that’s probably one of the best things we can do for our kids: let them see how to own your mistakes so they will know there’s grace when you aren’t perfect. Kids don’t come with manuals because each kid is different! And so is each parent. You will do great!! You will make mistakes and sometimes feel like a failure... and still be a great mom! If you didn’t have these thoughts I’d call you either naive or negligent. You are neither.I have no idea how I'm going to do this parenting thing without failing miserably. So much anxiety.
Yum! Now I'm craving a sub. Eggplant is good too.Bebe is the size of this sub sandwich
You'll do fine. You have a lot of heart and I think that makes all the difference to a child.I have no idea how I'm going to do this parenting thing without failing miserably. So much anxiety.
That just shows you care and I think there's a learning curve with the first child. Honestly all you need is love which is a trait that comes naturally to you. I was so worried with my first that I read and reread motherhood/child care books but my maternal instincts took over and in the end I felt I could write my own book. One thing that also helped me was talking to friends that had similar parenting styles for guidance and support.So much anxiety.
please keep us posted. I have you in my prayers.This week...
Now I'm waiting to hear back on if I need the rhogam shot early, because of the bleeding. I feel like it's better safe than sorry, but I don't get to make the call.
