2014 April Rainbows

[Lisa85]

I just started looking back to see where some of the other ladies have gone and the first one i checked appeared to have lost their baby. Im going to stop looking now... i hope i would not find many more but best not to upset myself.

Lisa- pretty sure decaf coffee is fine too! I know what you mean about food. Eating now requires so much thought and research!!

One of the ladies I knew from mc support and ttcal just had another loss too. It's just so sad

 

[Lisa85]

15 weeks today!! i cant believe it!! Its starting to sink in with my OH that we are having a baby and he's finally letting himself get excited and starting to rubs my belly and talk to the baby. Its cute!!!

 

[Kasey84]

Awe that's so sweet Lisa!

We're just looking forward to getting past this upcoming Saturday. We'll be 13 + 4 at that point, which is when we lost our first. Once we get past that date I'm going to be feeling much better about things. I have been slowly over time since this pregnancy is so much better (and different) than the first.

Lisa - my husband is on a daily mission to make sure he rubs my stomach. I agree, it is cute. But also with him he's worrying a lot about things since we're in this week. He's been losing sleep at night because of his concerns (amongst other things). I feel bad for him.

Had my OB appointment today.... got to hear the lovely HB, which she found straight away but baby was moving all around so took her a little bit to find a loud spot!!
My 20 week ultrasound is booked for 11th November. Not sure if we will get a private one before then to find out the sex!!
They also booked my glucose test... i told her I'm eating more sweets than i normally would coz im craving them and she told me to try and have jam on wholegrain toast instead of cookies and things.
Yay... so excited!!

to everyone!!

 

[Kasey84]

Karina- I'll be thinking of you on sat. It's got to be tough coming up to that time. I hope you're able to feel more relaxed once you're past that date

Lisa- so glad you got to hear the hb! Beautiful sound isn't it At what week does the glucose test get done?

Hope everyone else is well!

 

[c.m.c]

Sorry I disappeared.......I'm still here ladies.

How is everyone?

This thread gets so busy I find it impossible to keep up lol.....chatty ladies!!

Any gender scans yet?

 

[c.m.c]

Lisa I am super hungry and crave sweet things...my blood sugars were 4 after lunch so I'm wondering are they low when I fast?

I feel light headed and dizzy most days

 

[c.m.c]

Karina, wishing this weekend flies by for you xxxx

 

[Lisa85]

Kasey, I recorded the hb for my OH coz he couldnt make the appointment. he look like his eye got a lil watery when i played it for him. I have never seen him cry so it was cute! they are doing the glucose test at 28 weeks so not till january

cmc, im not sure about what blood sugars should be normally so i dont know. She told me i have to fast for the test and then they take you blood a couple of times over a few hours and you have to have some glucose drink. Sounds horrible!! im going to be so hungry!!
Have you asked your doctor about being light headed and dizzy? it could be something they might want to look at sooner with you if you have those symptoms. I'd give them a call and mention it if you havent already.
Not trying to worry you... i dont think its bad... just something you should mention sooner rather than later.

 

[Kasey84]

c.m.c- glad all is well. Low blood sugar can cause dizziness, but I think it can be common in pregnancy too with all that is happening in your body. Definitely mention it to your dr. My gender scan is next month in the 15th. How about you?

Lisa- my oh hasn't heard the hb yet either. We both saw it on the scan, but he couldn't be there for my last apt when the dr picked it up on the Doppler. He's really looking forward to my next apt to hear it!

I woke up from a horrible dream last night and couldn't get back to sleep. I dreamt that we had a dr apt and we were told that the baby would not likely survive and if he/she didn't we wouldn't be able to conceive again. It was awful! Bad enough to worry when I'm awake...but in my dreams now too! Ugh!

 

[Lisa85]

Kasey, Thats horrible!! i have bad dreams sometimes as well... they arent fun!! Why cant we have nice dreams about our babies! I feel much better after my last appointment though.
It doesnt feel that long till we will know the genders. I hope my OH has the spending account ready for that day!!! haha ill be going nuts!!
If your OH misses another appointment just ask the doctor if you can record it on your phone... thats what i did and she didnt mind at all!

I saw my brother last night and the first thing he said to me was.... WOAH!!!!! Ive never seen you so big!!!!! lol i dont think he was talking about just my belly either!

 

[vietmamsie]

Hi! Still on holiday, but thought I would just pop in for a second! I have been missing BnB!

Our holiday has been great... the best part has been having 6 dresses made and buying another three to fit this growing belly. I have a feeling it is going to become massive soon! Really bad at attaching photos, but if you feel like seeing the 14 and a half week bump, my husband, my mom and learning way too much about me - check out my instagram! https://instagram.com/vietmouse

Hope everyone is doing well! Keeping positive... this is the longest I have gone between scans and it is so hard!!! My next one is about two more weeks away!!! I feel like things must be ok in there because I have so many pulls and cramps - the little guy must be growing away!!

 

[Lisa85]

Vietmamsie, glad your having a great holiday!! It would be great to get dresses made to fit your body. I think your bubba is just fine by the look of that belly. I feel like mine is extra big today (pic below). I went and bought some maternity shorts today as summer is approaching and they had a 30% off sale... WIN!
Ill be stalking you on instagram now! haha i havent told the bulk of people yet so im not putting any pics on there just yet. I asked my OH if i could announce on FB today and he said ummmm lets wait till the 20 week scan. i dont want to wait another 5 weeks to put any photos of myself up anywhere!!!

 

[Lisa85]

Today's bump

 

[Lisa85]

Excuse the messy room in the background! haha

 

[hope4rainbow]

Vietmamsie and Lisa- Lovely bumps! I bet you'll be living in those new dresses vietmamsie!

Karina- Wishing you peace this weekend, your rainbow is on it's way!

The dreams are crazy! I had one that I went to the hospital to be induced and they opened the doors to our room and EVERYONE from our wedding came in. Little old ladies pulled up chairs beside my bed and started rubbing my arm. I woke up so happy to be alone with my husband. I think it'll be just us in the delivery room for sure now!

 

[Kasey84]

Lisa- Some good dreams would be nice! By next Friday I'll be 14 weeks and have my dr apt. Hoping all will be well and I'll be able to relax some more Great bump picture! I took one yesterday but can't figure out how to post from my phone. I'll have to post later from my computer. I can't wait for gender scan...I'm itching to buy some baby stuff!

Vietmamsie- Glad your enjoying your vacation. Your bump is certainly growing Waiting is so hard, but hopefully these 2 weeks will fly by and you'll be having your next scan before you know it!

Hope- Good to hear from you. Hope all is well! That's quite the dream! Lol! Our minds come up with the strangest things! Fortunately I slept soundly and nightmare free last night.

A huge thank you to you ladies and your kind words. We're still very positive about everything, and will actually be buying paint for the baby's room tomorrow (husband will be painting the room while I'm up north visiting my mom).

You guys talking about your dreams. I had one this morning that made absolutely no sense. Was getting an ultrasound, which was more like a real life full color sonogram and the radiotech was like, "And you can see this is the straw the baby drinks with right now until they're born." This "straw" was like another umbilical cord that was attached to their mouth. Then out of no where there a picture of my husband holding the baby, which was only about 3-4 inches in size. Told my husband about the dream this morning and he just shook his head and wondered what I was on. LOL
