I can't believe that I am just about half way done with being pregnant. It has gone somewhat fast and I am hoping that with the Holidays that Baby Stewart will be here before we know it. I have been having such a hard time with just a few things and I was wanting some tips from you Mothers out there. First, I have acne really bad. It continually gets worse and just when I think it is clearing up....it is there the next morning. I totally understand that this is a normal hormonal pregnancy thing but if any of you have any tips, suggestions, creams, cleansers, etc that worked for you I would greatly appreciate it. (As would Luke because every night I go to the mirror and cry!!!) Secondly, I have been having really bad headaches. Lastly, I have been waking up in the night around 2 am starving hungry. It is not just like the munchies it is like I have that burning hungry feeling. I am not even hungry when I go to bed- How could I be when I have eaten everything in sight all day long?! So what do you do? Do you eat or do you just lay there and try and fall back to sleep?!

All I have to say is welcome to pregnacy hee hee hee! I had that happen to me too. Talk to your doc. about the headaches he might be able to get you something. Looking so cute. I want to go to lunch with you and your sis. Love ya Anj
You look so great AL!! As far as the acne goes...you're breaking out because there's an imbalance in your hormone levels...basically not much to be done...sorry! BUT, if you have access to Mario Badescue Drying Lotion...it's the BEST acne spot treatment!!!
Good luck...Jill
Al you look so dang cute pregnant! I laughed so hard at your dirty dancing post...those are the lines I quote all the time! Make sure you are back in time for me to be in Utah!!! I will be there on the 17th of Oct....can't wait to see you and your growing belly!:)
I didn't have acne...but I have had major headaches too..luckily they have gone away at this point. But I just lived on Extra Strength Tylenol for a while. My doctor told me it was fine and that I could take quite a bit daily. Ask yours for his recommendations. Also, as for eating, I used to wake up hungry too... I tried to just stay in bed but would have crackers or dry cereal or something right by the bed so that I could eat it without getting up and waking myself up more. Luckily, that has gone away too! Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy Ali, you look so dang cute!
You know my recommendations, but I wanted to tell you how cute you look pregnant! No matter what you think I know its hard. Like you said you are half way through.
You look so cute pregnant!!! He will be here before you know it. For headaches ,Tylenol worked for me. On the Hungry thing, maybe it's a little bit of heart burn. I took the chewable Pepcid AC for that.
Hey Ali! This is Janean (Melissa's sister-in-law) and you know my recommendations from Melissa but I thought I would say hi. I hardly know you other than from Melissa but it made me feel so bad to hear that you cry everytime you look at yourself in the mirror. Just call that lady and hopefully it will work. You are so dang cute and so no matter what you still look great but I know how you feel. If you figure out what works best just remember to start with that next time you get pregnant right way and stick with it so it doesn't happen again. Also, the eating thing is frustrating but do you eat a snack before going to bed? That should help and it should go away eventually. I was like that with this last pregnancy and it didn't last the whole time.
congrats! how fun for yoU!
Ali,
I have been meaning to comment on your blog forever but I have just been so busy! But congratulations on your little boy! I am so excited for you and your cute family! I was so excited to see you were pregnant again cause I had a miscarriage in January so I know how hard is to hear people are pregnant when your are not but you just bounced right back! and now we are so close! I am due February 3rd so just about a week earlier! We need to do lunch sometime and compare stories. My pregnancy has had its ups and downs so far but I totally can relate on the acne. I actually went to a dermatologist cause it was bugging me so bad and he pretty much told me there was nothing I could do. He perscribed me benzaclyn which is an acne cream but I still have quite a bit of acne. I fortunately haven't gotten too bad of headaches but when I do I think Tylenol stinks (oh how I miss ibuprofen)but the charmer for me is a nice cold fountain Diet Coke. I asked my doc about caffeine and he said I was fine as long as I just don't drink a six pack a day. So if I have my one a day I am good to go! (which is lucky since I start teaching piano lessons at 6:15 every morning!) and on the food thing I haven't had that hunger too bad in the night. I wake up starving but I only wake up in the night hungry if I had thrown up the night before which luckily has slowed down a little so the hunger pains have gone away. Anyways this is like a novel but call me sometime and we can do lunch! Good luck with everything and you look adorable!

You cute little pregnant girl!
First off you look so great for 5 months..
I feel for you I LOVED being pregnant but the few problems I had were HORRIBLE HEADACHES and ACNE! I hated it but I was lucky it was mostly on my back, but it went away towards the 7 month.. The Headaches I couldnt do much, just took Tylenol to try and help! good luck
You look so darling!! Come see us whenever you are in the area!
Ali you look so cute Pregnant! I don't have much advice for you other than go to the dermatologist. I did and the stuff he gave me seemed to help. Hang in there it is so so so worth it!
I second the welcome to pregnancy comments!! Acne is just part of the game my friend...but don't worry it'll get better! As for the headaches...I've heard that headaches coincide with boys:) I had super bad headaches (migraines even) with Ike...boys are trouble from the VERY beginning!
