Well ladies I got the result of my harmony test yesterday, all came back low risk so now there is a much better chance that the cystic hygroma will be nothing or just the sign of a heart/kidney defect. Can't believe I might actually get to see my baby grow up!! Oh and the cherry on top? It's a....

GIRL!!
I am so so happy. Back in for another scan tomorrow and hopefully the hygroma has shrunk rather than got bigger, then we really are likely to be in the clear 😁

Yay! All fantastic news! Girls are the best. Congrats!

Now that I'm finally feeling a little better I'm trying to start exercising again. Before I got pregnant I was working out 5x a week, both cardio and weights, and after 8-9 weeks without exercise (mostly because i was too sick/tired) I feel so out of shape! Ugh. I've got about more month before teachers go back for the new school year so I want to try and take advantage of my morning for some exercise before I find myself completely exhausted from high school kids.


Kiwi – that sounds like a lot of work for the kids to switch every other week, but if he lives close by that could work pretty well. I think you’re right though, better than a long, angry, court battle.


NovaStar – Thanks! That makes me feel better! I try not to put her in front of the tv very much, but it’s hard to keep up with her. Especially when she desperately wants to go outside (and she likes to wander and walk all over the place) but in over 90 degree weather + pregnancy, I am not up for a long walk, And TV is all that satisfies her when she’s yelling for “side!” The joys of 18 months.

Gillian – Oh congrats!! That’s so good that your test came back good! Fantastic news! That’s so exciting for a girl! Is this your first? My first is a girl, I love it. Girl clothes are so cute! It’s the best.

Angel5000: I know what you mean about working out, I really do miss my body before I was pregnant. I used to be overweight and lost over 100 pounds, got down to 117 but stabilized at 124. I'm so scared of gaining the weight back but everyone keeps telling me that I don't look any different just pregnant . I hope they're right because I only have one lung so I can't do any strenuous exercises. I want to try swimming but I need a maternity bathing suit first. My 4 year old has been begging to go swimming. As for the Parenting agreement, it's not so bad and he does live right up the street, two minute drive. I also get to see them a couple times a week when he has them and we eat dinner together. Although every time my oldest goes over to his house I feel like crying and I know it's just going to get worse when it's both of them going.

I'm also disabled, I have epilepsy and I'm legally blind 20/800. I developed epilepsy in September of last year after about a year of Auras with no seizures until September. Then I had them about one to two times a month until a couple months ago when I finally got medication. He's a great dad and has been there to help me get around since I can't obviously drive. I'm really lucky that I have him, same for my boyfriend, theyre both very helpful. I don't use any visual aids because I'm too independent for that, most people can't tell unless they see me go to read something or I almost run into a door / sign. I can only see out of one of my eyes, glaucoma took the other. It's a hard life being me, but somehow I managed to get through it and my kids are all that I live for.

Added you!! Congrats again too .
My oldest keeps changing her mind on whether she wants a brother or a sister lol.

Welcome Angel, I'm there with the mum guilt too and still suffering with it since I still feel EXHAUSTED. But I know it's only a short time, and all their needs are being met, I'm just not able to be as active and playful with them because once I've tended to the house I'm ready for nap.
Well done to your daughter Mwel!
And congratulations Gillian on your girl
Wow kiwi, you sound like a strong person, still being independent

AFM, I caved and booked a gender scan. Two weeks today, team yellow lasted long, I'm too weak

 

[cuddlebugluv]

Omg, yes, the heat is evil. I was pregnant during the summer last time, had a September baby, and it was bad. So glad I get the winter during the third trimester this time. Even though winter here is pretty extreme, I always overheat during the third trimester so I’m actually looking forward to the ice and snow.

We’re preparing for my mom to visit for a week. Our cat decided to get sick and pee all over our guest room so we’re washing the carpet in there today. Dang, cat pee is smelly! We had to rent a carpet cleaner machine thingy.

I’m feeling so lazy today, cleaning is so not what I want to do...oh well! Haha. It will be nice-ish having my mom here. It means she’ll take my daughter out and give me some alone time, but it also means she’ll want to “help me” with some kind of household project. Sigh...I appreciate the sentiment but I’d rather just spend the time with her doing fun things.

One week until our gender scan! Eek! Also, the cinnamon roll in my pregnancy tracker looks SO GOOD right now.

Overheating is definitely no fun, but I'm glad this time around we have a break in the later trimester too! I've been keeping inside the best I can, or go out in the early morning if I can get away with my errands being so soon. I'ts been 115 here and whoo is it brutal! cheering on for winter lol!

Oh no! Agreed, cat pee is the worst and seems to saturate deeply, I hope you've had a lot of luck and the smell is gone and that your kitty is doing a lot better now. I know what you mean about the lazy days, all I want os ti lounge or nap lol! especially since it is just me tidying everything, it gets overwhelming easy. Hooray on having your gender scan soon! I'm having such a tough time being patient lol! I've got 4 more weeks left and i'm sooo impatient to know

mmm, cinnamon buns~...lol

 

[cuddlebugluv]

Is anyone else trying to stay cool in the extreme heat? I cannot wait enough for winter to arrive, and I'm sure glad B#3 is a winter baby, summer time is suuuper hard out here!

OMG Dallas is having the second hottest summer on record. It was 109 all weekend, and I'm considering tomorrow's planned 98 to be a cool front! wah!!! I saw some 9 months pregnant ladies while I was out and about today, and I did not want to trade places.

Oh man no good! I remember being in my third tri for my last two pregnancies, it's super hard and I hope the ladies in summer are doing ok. I hope you are staying cool too! it's been 115 out here and I refuse to go out in the day time and go in the morning or night if I can manage.

Not sure if you saw it but i read a government study once about ch and if it resolves by 20 weeks you are almost certainly fine so fx it is shrinking! If the harmony test is clear that is one of the biggest hurdles so that's fantastic!

And congratulations on team pink

Oh wow ill have to try find that because today at 14 weeks it's pretty much completely gone!!

 

[gigglebox]

That's amazing!!!

I love the new graphic! I had to pick and choose what to keep. lol!

 

[W8tingforbaby]

So I looked online today to see if my blood work was back because my doctor hasn’t called with the gender yet and my panorama was back low risk which is great but it says gender not reported �� I’m going to be sad if it wasn’t done. Still waiting for the Horizan part to come back but I don’t think that cas anything to do with gender. I have an appointment tomorrow morning so we shall see what she says.

 

[MollyMoon]

My belly button is starting to stretch and my stomach feels kinda weird like it's full of water or jelly....

 

[gigglebox]

W8 i'm not dure they test that asseses your risk percentahe actually tests chromosomes. I think those are different things...?

My 13 weeks scan is in the morning. Getting increasingly nervous but trying not to think about it!

Jillian here is a link to that article: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/17559183/
Just skip the scary (but unlikely) potential outcomes and scroll down to the "CONCLUSION" part of the study.

 

[W8tingforbaby]

Officially team blue. We are having a boy!!!!
