so glad you stopped in, Kristi we really miss your smile!

Chris sounds like he is the perfect soul match for you,'cuz I could totally see you doing something equally cool for him. The names are cute too.

BTW, I really like the fact that Erik uses a K, My family uses the K also, I'm Karl and My brother is Erik. (swedes)
 
Awe that was super sweet of Chris!

You sure are keeping yourself busy. Sorry to hear about the nausea, that will pass (as I'm sure you already know.)
 
Well I'm partial to Molly for sure...my great grandmother was named Mary Elizabeth and they called her Molly for short...guess that was common? So I almost got named that. And I like Andy too....have you guys come up with middle names for with them?

Speaking of....Chris said that he had t-voed the local news(where he is one of the editors) this morning and that I should watch it. Towards the middle of the program, the main reporter said, "I'd like to make an announcement...Chris {last name} in the back is celebrating his 5th anniversary with his wife this weekend and he would like to say that he loves you. Happy anniversary, you two!" I freaked out!! It was soooo cute! haha!


What do y'all think of the names, Molly for a girl and Andy for a boy? Those are the two names that we are leaning towards for now.

HOW SWEET!!!
What a lucky girl you are to have such a romantic hubby!
Love the names. Especially Andy.
 
Hey everyone! I'm glad y'all liked the names! We have thrown in another boy name - Liam Christopher. Oh, and Molly's middle name would be Evangeline. Chris adores this name and wanted it for a first name but I just can't let go of Molly! Christopher is set for the boy's middle name.

So, I hope you all have been doing better than me with healthy eating! I've been very bad with eating junk food lately. Everyday I've eaten some kind of candy or dessert. :( It has to stop!!! I really to take control of this now, or it's going to catch up with me. I know that it will help me to get in the habit of food journaling again. I've got to do this!!!! :banghead: I guess it will help too if I threw all the sweets away.....:leaving:

Breakfast: Whole grain blueberry waffle with natural pb, low sugar strawberry jam. 1 c. orange juice. prenatal vitamins.
 
Hey Kristi! Everything looks like it is going well with the pregnancy! I know I said this before but I just wanted you to know that I'm so glad you are going to keep posting, that is SO SO awesome of you!
 
Kristi!!! :hug2: miss you hon...

Liam is one of my all time favorite boy names BTW. Not that you need my approval or anything... but I'd definitely vote for that.
 
I love the name Liam!!!
I have a love of all things Scottish/Irish.
If you want a good book to read (not a Christian novel though, got hooked back when I was sowing wild oats! LOL) read
Outlander by Diana Gabaldon.
The girl who wrote it had never wrote a book before and in the process actually came up with a whole new genre. Its got some romance, time travel, history and lots of drama.
My most favortie series by far!
As for the candy/sweets just throw 'em out. I have actually gone so far as to buy something, hit myself in the head thinking "why did you just do that?" and then toss it out. Sometimes it will be bad enough that I will put something nasty on it so that I know I won't try to "get it back"! LOL
Your already one step closer in that you know more now than you did before so are being somewhat more conservative.
Don't beat yourself up.
Catch ya later!

Hi everyone! I hope everyone is doing well!

I had my first ultrasound and we got to see my little bean and his/her heartbeat and little wiggling arms and legs. Soo cute! I switched doctors, so my first dr. appt. is on Dec. 5th. I've been feeling much better as far as energy goes and haven't felt too queasy or anything. As for eating healthy... some days are better than others....:Angel_anim: I haven't been doing a whole lot of exercising, but I have kept up with stretching everyday. Actually I did ride one mile on the bike earlier this week. It's not my normal 10-20 miles but it's better than nothing!

I have only gained 2 pounds and steadily weigh 211 every morning. I know that's going to change, as I'm approaching the second trimester, so my goal is to start walking and using the exercise bike again.

Breakfast:
2 Kashi protein waffles with natural peanut butter and no sugar added jam. 1 c. milk and prenatal vitamins.
 
Kristi,

congrats on the pregnancy. Wow a lot happens when I don't stop by for a while. I am so excited for you. I'm going to have to go back through the thread and see what I missed. I'm finally back. Went through a rough patch there, but I'm back at it. A long way to go too.

Sounds like you are doing well with your weight too. That's awesome.

So cool that you're doing well hun!

I had just mentioned in Englan's diary that I missed her and you, and poof, You show up! Musta been hearing the call...


Great big hugs hun!!:hug2:
 
Hey Kristi,

Things were kind of scary for awhile. I passed a blood clot about the size of 1/2 dollar and my husband rushed me to the hospital. They checked the baby and he/she was fine but they put me on bed rest and I had to stay home from work for a week. They called it a threatened abortion/miscarriage. They told me to take very good care of myself because I could have one. But, I know things will be okay. I have faith in God that everything will be fine and me and the baby are now doing great. As far as the heart palpitations, I'm still having them and my doctor referred me to a specialist just in case so I'm going to make an appt with him next week. Everything else is okay except for the fact that I've gained 10 pounds :svengo: I need to talk to my doctor about being able to exercise or at least walk because I've been afraid to do anything since I had been on bed rest. We'll see what he says. Thanks for stopping in and saying hello. Take care and good luck at the doc appt. Oh yeah, I got to see the baby on the ultrasound too. Too cute :)
 
HEY GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!! HUGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I missed you, my little pregnant skinny friend! haha I hope everything is going well with you (it sounds like it is) and you are working hard at being healthy for your little guy/girl. I have been keeping up with you and it sounds like you are going to bring this little baby into a healthy and safe environment and makes me so proud! I'm back and here to stay (pneumonia be damned). So this year we'll have to make a new year's pact, you don't let me slack on my writing and you keep being healthy. Sounds fair. haha

I hope you had a great day!
 
Hey Kristi :) I'm came to check in and see how you're feeling. Past the exhaustion part yet? I'm glad you still stop in to check on everyone but I really miss you being around. I understand since I was just MIA a while too but just want you to know it's not the same without you.
 
Hey Kristi! Just checking in and seeing how you are doing. Hope everything is going well and you had a great Christmas with your family!
 
Just stopped by to wish you all the best for the New Year!

Hope you have a good one in which you reach all your goals, no matter how big or small!

All the best! :hug2:
