Well is it 3.5kg in 1 month or since you got pg ROLLER DOOR (Ali) happy.gif ? All up is pretty good! I put on about 5kg in both from pg - 20 weeks and then 20-40wks, about another 7. Both the same !! 12kg, but I started at 60kg for DD1 and with DD2 I ate alot of crap after the m/c and started at 65kg when pg with Holli.

Tacos for dinner...YUM

Sarina - enjoy pilates

sharon, no 3.5kg all up. well since first weigh in at 9wks but I don't think I'd put anything on since getting that BFP.
sheesh I'd love to only put on 12kg. wwhistle.gif
Of course I realise that weight gain and pregnancy go together its just so hard for me to lose it afterwards! But all worth it...(well when the kids are behaving..)

Ali - I had a c/s but I am very over weight. I think you are looking for skinny girls. Unfortunately I think some people even with diet and exercise never get rid of the over hang.

Sarina - good to hear that the tooth is slowly on the mend. It sounds so painful.

Had a lovely afternoon with Blondie and claudia. Blondie - thank you for having us round. Claudia is a darling and I got to bounce one on each knee. they had a great time on the slide. Will catch up again after my trip. If I make it back laughing2.gif

Ali - another cs here. I have always had a tummy though. It is just worse now original.gif. I will try to lose it but doubt it will work, besides Jasmine loves to wobble it. A sure fire way to get her to laugh roll2.gif

Hope this posts as it is the second time I have tried. I hate not having internet.
alimumof3
lara i'm not a skinny person either, well before kids I guess i was average, 12, I did have a stint pre-dating DH where I was a 10, but since kids I haven't got below a 14 I don't think. We'll maybe sqeezing into a 12 but looking like a ham.
yes i think that is what the OB was trying to say, that sometimes there will always be a little flap. Although in some cases not so little. Never mind. Not planning on taking up modelling anyway. wink.gif

jotsmum LOL at Jasmine wobbling your tummy! funny.
ellangel
Ali - I bet you look lovely!! Have you been posting belly shots in your DIG?? I must go check and look! happy.gif biggrin.gif Yes, you know you are gonna get big, but it still gets you down hey?? Are you getting sad cause this will be your last pregnancy?? Some women think that dont they? None of that from me here.

Jasmine loves to wobble it.
this made me giggle Jots!! Holli lifts my shirt and sticks her finger in my Bellybutton ALL the time and laughs!!!

ok off to bed for me. Giving Holli an hours sleep tomorrow then waking her to go to Seaworld. Taking the neighbours 10 year old girl with us. I figure she can help me and go on rides with Ella. Meeting friends there too. Will be home by 4pm as have another Melaleuca presentation at my parents place.

Dh can deal with the tired and cranky kids while I go out!!

nightie!!
alimumof3

alimumof3
sorry sharon, should have reworded, other people in my DIG did but I didnt. Didn't even know how to use photobucket! you were the one that taught me remember!
I remember key's belly shot. I remember thinking how slim she was. (aside from the bump)
~Elliesmum~
got a wii and wii fit plus today, went halves with dh in a preowned wii and used my birthday money for the wiifitplus. I can tell we'll all be using it though, who knew it would be so much fun biggrin.gif thoroughly recommended!

Enjoy Seaworld Sharon, would love to go again original.gif


I'm not commenting on size as I've not ever been under a size 16-18 except when anorexic. And then I was so distorted in the head I don't actually know what size I was, but I was wearing size 12 (but could have gone smaller, who knows all I thought I had a huge tummy still). honestly I don't really care anymore I just want to be fit and healthy wink.gif My wiifit age wasn't as bad as I expected although it was older than I am LOL

I know a few of us did share bellypics in our group, otherwise I wouldn't have been game lol. A couple of them looked stunning, melaniejasmin was one I remember! Actually I don't remember much else, foggy brain... lol

I'll share my last shot- 39w2days? I'd been having contractions stopping and starting for two weeks by this stage sad.gif I miss that almost born bubby stage though... strange lol

Hi Guys,

Ali - i actually remembered the second time to take shots of the belly original.gif The last one I took was just before they induced me original.gif I had big eaters so I lost heaps of weight quickly with breast feeding. BTW I have seen your photos on Facebook and you look great in them you are not large at all. 3.5kg at 19 weeks is a very low weight gain.


Sharon - Niamh is fascinated with belly buttons too original.gif Great at home not so good in the post office queue!

Sarina - What a horrible day! Glad to hear the tooth is getting better PS we got the quote back from the builder much less than thought now so very confused as to what I want to do!


Blondie - Good work on getting your interview.

Beagle - I hope that traffic fine is sorted - they must have been going awful fast for a $300 fine! Thank goodness for the photo evidence though.

I think I might have to head to bed a big day at work today I am a bit drained sad.gif

Ps Ellies mum you were tiny for 39w2days!

Triny - I think Claudia might have overtaken Jacqui. I won't have her weighed until 18 months though so not sure.

Ali - I don't think 3.5kg is much for 19 weeks at all. I put on more than that in 1st trimester with Claudia. I think those tummies get harder to get rid of with every child. My mum was like me and always had a flat stomach, but having twins was what killed it for her, she never got her figure back after that. I think we need to see belly shots, they're so fun!

Ellangel - I started at 61kg before Claudia and was I think 76kg before I had her, but somehow I didn't look that big. I think my body spreads weight well.

Sarina - good news on the tooth. I'm going to have to win lotto before I get around to fixing my bad tooth, shame we never enter laughing2.gif.

Elliesmum - how fun getting a wii. Your belly shot is so cute. Yours too cath.

Key - hope you had a good night's sleep.

Here's my bump at 38 weeks, exactly 1 week before Claudia was born. I was taking photos every Wednesday and by the next Wednesday morning I was in labour and never took a photo!

Hi girls

Was supposed to be going Sydney today however my nephew is has a cold and all snotty. So decided to give that a miss.

Love all the belly shots. Here's mine at 38weeks, Jacqui was born at 38+6.



I was all baby. I left hospital 2kgs heavier than when I feel pregnant.

Ali - How are the nappies this morning?

Elliesmum - enjoy the Wii I bought the Wii fit plus the other day. We already had the Wii fit but I decided I needed the Wii fit plus.

Ellangel - have fun at Sea World...... (again I'm jealous tongue.gif )

Blondie - I wasn't going to have Jacqui weighed till 18mths but curiosity got the better of me. At least I can be prepared for when we go to visit the MCHN.
~Elliesmum~
I love belly shots, thanks for sharing guys, lovely preggy tummies. I never took pics with ds and dd1 as it wasn't really "done" until around dd's time but then I felt embarrassed as I was so fat. This time around I didn't care and took loads hehe biggrin.gif I would love to get pregnant again and dh is happy to have another so we'll see. But time is against us lol

oh- my pic too at 39w2d, K was born 5 days later...

Would love to be on the wii, might have to put k in her chair and have a quick game of tennis while she has breakfast lol. Ellie is playing tennis at the moment. She's very good at it so either means she's a natural or its easy, I'm hoping its easy LOL.

What is the difference between the wiifit and the plus triny? Am glad I got the wiifitplus anyway, had a quick go last night hulahooping, ski slaloming and other things. Nothing too strenuous as I haven't done exercise in sooo long.

Pretty busy day lined up, party at the library for Ellie, will help a friend who's just fostered two little ones, one 17 months and one 7 months blink.gif she's in at the deep end and asking me all sorts of advice. The little girl 17 months is hitting and pulling the hair of her youngest girl who is 5. And is being stubborn and tantruming hehe. sound familiar? Figured she'd have her hands full with the two new ones plus her 5 and7 yo so thought I might leave K home with dh so I have an extra pair of hands. The same time as the party is pickup for my Ben who just went on a church camp, hehe he will be so excited to come home and find a Wii.
