Hi guys! Sorry I'm so late getting on today! Work is killing me! I was out Friday with a migraine and I'm trying to play catch up! How is everyone?

ok, did you all leave for another site and I just didn't get the memo?

Hey Kris! I'm here! I just took my morning nap - the one luxury I allow myself when preggo is a nap to make sure I'm getting enough sleep. It's weird, though, because when I take these naps, it's like I'm aware the whole time that I'm laying there, yet when I get up it's been two hours!

Does pregnancy make your migraines worse? I had one migraine (if that was even what it was) in my entire life and I thought I was going to die. It was a few weeks after I had my second son, but I've never had another since. My father gave me one of his Goody PMs and it knocked me out. When I got up, it was totally gone!

I'll be right back, my son needs to register for the SAT real quick........

Yeah, pregnancy definitely makes the migraines worse. This one on Friday wasn't as bad as I usually get them though. I think the hormones trigger them for me.

I had icky diarrhea over the weekend. The cramps scared the daylights out of me. And...(ok, TMI alert here...seriously!) The Crinone I use (progesterone) tends to "build up" after a few days and I usually get some sort of discharge like little balls or cottage cheese looking stuff (but not gobs of it) The instructions say something about "cleaning yourself out" every 3rd day or so. Well, lately I hadn't been getting any discharge at all so I didn't think I needed to "clean myself out". Well, let me tell you, yesterday I went in there to do it and OMG the stuff was black! NASTY! I think there could have been some blood in it too. I was freaking out about it and I looked it up on line this morning and it says it can be normal. Eww. That's gross.

Phew!!!! Thank goodness that it's normal, though - I would have freaked out, too! I'm so glad you got to see the heartbeat! Are you getting any other symptoms?

My boobs don't seem to be hurting as bad, seems to come and go at times even. Still no nausea really - just some slight food adversions and if I let my stomach get empty I feel like it's coming on, but still not bad. I called the pharmacist to see when I got the Phenergan last time and I was about 7 weeks along, so I should be getting sick around the first week of April. If not, that's when I'll worry. I've been eating a lot (a lot!), so that must be good

Okay, Laura! You can come out now - stop playin....hehe

And now I'm about ready to leave! We have to do better ladies!

I don't really have any symptoms. My boobs do still hurt, but they seem to be on and off too. I have a heaviness feeling in my lower tummy. Only way I can explain it I guess. I don't seem to be peeing every 5 minutes either. I know I'm going to worry all the time anyway!

Dang! It's almost 3 already!!! Wow - this day flew by...

I've been feeling my uterus for a week now! I guess maybe it's because mine is already large due to the other three kids, but I can't help but wonder if there's more than one baby in there - that would be soooo scary! Then again, I think of how many women have carried 4, 6, and even 8, so I could probably do it if I stay on bedrest like I'm supposed to...

Enjoy the rest of your day, Kris, and I'll see you tomorrow!

Hello All~ I wasn't getting my notifications today then I saw Kris posted on MM and was like wait she had better not forgotten us. I've had a busy day today. Haylee's still sick we went back to the Dr and she has an ear infection now. So we got meds and hopefully she will be better soon. I have my ultrasound on wed and I am so excited! I have started freaking out that I am not going to be ready when this baby comes. I know it's kin of early for that but I can't help it and I am so worried this baby is going to come early and we won't have everything done. I can't believe one more week and one more day and I will be half way there. How long is Val gone for? Hope Diane comes over soon. I've been wondering how her charting is going for her so far.
