    Smile Seven weeks & 5 days..but whos counting? :)

    Hi Everyone

    I'm seven weeks five days pregnant and very excited. I'm quite petite and my belly is already poking out quite alot, is this happening to anyone else!!?
    Also anyone in Brisbane can you recommend any good prenatal/yoga/pilates classes that run after work hours? I work fulltime so its very frustrating that most places only have 11am and 2pm classes going! Much appreciated!

    Hi Heidi

    Welcome & Congrats super super super exciting time.... you'll get heaps of support here with each milestone as well which is fantastic

    I recently joined a pregnancy yoga here in adel but they don't let you do the poses til you're at least 14 weeks on so can only do the breathing and relaxing which is still really nice. Same goes for aqua-arobics. Basically bubs is taking all your energy to grow grow grow.

    good luck with it all and looking forward to hearing about it.

    Congrats Heidi! So excited for you!!!

    I remember when I was counting the individual days (still kind of do but it is going quicker now) It is hard when you cant tell everyone yet as well. The weeks jsut seem to drag!

    Make sure you put some photos up int he gallery so you can see how your belly growns and changes.

    Cant help with the yoga/pilates classes as I am in Sydney but do a google search (its my answer for everything)

    Enjoy this special time.

    Happy Monday Heidi!!

    It is VERY exciting isn't it!! I love looking for all the changes etc etc even if it is a little nerve wracking at times lol!! And yes, my belly is sticking out well past my BBs hahahaha!!! Looking forward to when we can annouce it so I can stop wearing baggy tops hahaha!!

    Only a little bit of morning sickness for me... I have my routine to avoid it down pat though. Berocca, bananas and organic wholegrain toast hehe!! I have to have my banana in bed at about 5am or I start to feel a bit BLEGH! I have had to cut orange juice out of my morning routine... too acidic and I really really don't feel like cooking dinner or eating meat. I never eat bread or pasta normally but I can't get enough of it now!! And I am eating tomatoes like they are going out of fashion!! But really, I am not suffering AT ALL compared to some others in the Belly Buddies group!! How about you?? How are you coping??

    The pregnancy tickers are easy! Go to either the ones on this site or to Lilypie.com (which allows you to put in a photo), baby-gaga.com for extra bits of information about your bub's development and there are a few others if you google search "pregnancy ticker". Once you have decided which one you want, copy and paste the HTML code (you will know what I mean once you get to it) into your Profile "Edit Signature". If you have any troubles PM me and I will give you a hand!

    Me too! I think its quite obvious on me though because I'm quite petite but I've just been saying I've been eating alot lol

    My morning sickness is dreadful.. it's fine on weekends when I can just sleep it off but as I work fulltime it makes it raelly difficult during the week! I have some morning sickness formula but it only helps a little bit. hopefully it will be all gone by the end of the third month!

    Ok well I'm about to embark on getting my pregnancy ticker so wish me luck!!

    No, shouldn't do. Follow these instructions and see how you go:

    1. At lilypie.com copy the code in the second box... not HTML but the box entitled "PseudoHTML, UBBCode? or BBCode"
    2. Back in the Belly Belly site click on "User Profile" in top left corner of screen
    3. half way down the page on the left hand side in "Settings and Options" is an "Edit Signature" option, click that
    4. Paste code into the signature section
    5. Click on "Preview Signature" down the bottom of that page

    Let me know how that goes!!

    hahaha!!! YAY!!!!!! Baby-brain!!! At least that is my excuse lately hehehe!!

    What do I do? Well, we own a software company that we started from our lounge room... my partner now works in the office full-time and I work just part-time from home. I noticed on your profile that you work in law firms!! Well a long time ago I worked in law firms in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne, in Admin and HR and then finally in Workplace Relations before getting stuck into the business. Spare time we love motorbikes and our dogs... they get spoilt rotten!! Living at Shorncliffe there are so many great tracks and places to swim so they have a good ole time lol!!

    Haven't started buying for baby yet... but I am bookmarking absolutely EVERYTHING that I want lol!!! I am waiting for the 12 week mark... I can't wait!!!

    Oh yeah, and we are getting married on Friday lol!!!

    Your turn!

    Oh wow congratulations!!!! Thats fantastic! How long have you been with your fiance? What does your dress look like? i love weddings! Can you tell? lol

    Sounds like you guys have really set yourselves up! Good work! I do work for a law firm, I'm a paralegal in mostly commercial litigation though I have worked in all different areas. I'm very jealous you get to work from home! lol

    What kind of dogs do you have? My partner and I are going to get one when we move into our new place

    I've been a bit bad and bought a few little jumpsuits and booties from punpkin patch already! Even my mum has bought little bonds leggings that she couldn't resist! Its all very exciting!

    Is this your first?
