2015 October Owls! | The chicks are hatching! *16 boys & 8 girls so far!*

[MissR]

Sorry you wasn't able to officially find out the sex!

I've had such a crappy day today. Crashed my car luckily everybody was ok, we wasn't hurt at all. I have had to accept liability even though I don't believe to be at fault. My car is the one thing that I own that is all mine and paid off. And now we most likely are going to have to trade it in before it loses any more value. I am trying not to stress for baby's sake but I am so upset x

 

[Tink1o5]

Missr- the good thing is you all are ok. Sorry you are dealing with this situation though. How horrible!

 

[3boys]

my hospital refuses to tell gender, its so annoying having to pay for extra private scan.

 

[startd]

MissR, I'm glad you're ok. Car accidents are awful.
Congratulations on reaching halfway!

 

[MissR]

Thank you so much ladies. I have a doc appt this morning that is about a 15 minute drive away from me. I don't think I'm ready to drive yet so I may get the bus! Haven't done that in a very long time.

Hope everyone is feeling good. On the plus side, I have my scan Monday so that will cheer me up xx

 

[GingerPanda]

I'm glad everyone is okay, MissR! Cars can be replaced. But it does majorly suck to be in a wreck. I hope you get the situation figured out soon. I know how scary it can be to get behind the wheel again after an accident. Take your time.



Our anatomy scan is in 2 hours!

 

[tallybee]

Omg MissR sorry to hear that. Glad nobody's hurt though xx

 

[GingerPanda]

Here's Luci!

She did not cooperate very well, stubborn little turd.

But I think we got all the measurements we needed. She is going to recommend I come back for another ultrasound in a few weeks to have a better look at her heart. Not that she thinks something wrong, but one of my sisters had a congenital heart defect, and she wants to make sure Luci doesn't have it. But little girl is a little TOO little to get a good look right now. We know her heart has 4 chambers, though! So so far so good.

Placenta is anterior on the right side, so that explains why I've barely felt her move. She weighs 10oz and is the 34th percentile. So that's normal. They want her to be between 20-80th percentile.

Lovely photo GingerPanda. Glad everything is OK. My placenta is also anterior but covering my Cervix xx

 

[Tink1o5]

Congrats GP. My little girl was only 8oz...at 18 weeks 5 days. I wonder if she's too small??

Good luck to rest of the ladies with scans today

 

[GingerPanda]

I don't think that's too unusual, Tink. I wouldn't worry, but you could always call your doc. I suspect they would have said something to you if they were worried, though.



We had an appointment with our doctor afterwards for our results, and he says Lucina is perfect as far as he can tell!

Having another ultrasound in 4 weeks just to make 100% sure that her heart is okay.

 

[Tink1o5]

Yeah, we met with the perinatal doc after our scan. She said everything looked good, except my little girl wasn't fully cooperative so we go back in 4 weeks so they can get better pictures than what my lo allowed.

 

[Tink1o5]

GP- I also just saw! CONGRATS on being half way!!

 

[MissR]

GP, that's so great to hear that Lucina is doing well and everything looked good on ultrasound I'm sure she will go from strength to strength!

Tink, I have no idea about what weight they should be at this stage but I'm sure if doc said everything looks good, then not to worry too much xx

I got a Doppler today and heard baby's heartbeat for the first time picked it up really quickly. Has anyone else got a Doppler? I think il probably end up using it everyday now!xx

 

[GingerPanda]

Thanks! Doc's office has had me one day ahead of what I thought all along. She still measured at that today, so I figured I would move myself up a day and get on my doctor's program.


I have had a Doppler since about 9 weeks. It has been a lifesaver after my two previous losses! Totally kept me sane.

 

[Tink1o5]

I have had a doppler since around 8-9 weeks. It has been great especially with the multiple complications I have had causing excess worry

 

[apreslaube]

Here is the US from yesterday. My OB called and said everything looks normal

We are going with gender neutral for everything for now. We won't be doing a private scan unless someone cares that much about genitals to pay for it themselves On the plus side, both of us HATE pink frilly princess stuff and anything super boy like "mama's hunk!" and stuff like that. I love everything gender neutral. Baby's size is basically right on target. Two days behind +/- a week. All body parts accounted for (minus genitals lol). We are very happy. BTW, he/she is in the fetal position for that pic, hence the weird leg positioning.

Congratulations GingerPanda and Apreslaube! Your babies are gorgeous

 

[Aliop]

Glad to read about good scans (even if slightly uncooperative babies lol) and see cute pics!

All good with ours, baby boy is looking perfect and measuring in at 20+4

He was sucking his fingers and we got a great video of him 'drinking' some amniotic fluid but I can't work out how to post it without my details??

My placenta is anterior but I am still feeling lots of movement just doesn't feel as forceful as my other children did at this stage. Had to get up and pee twice to get him to move so he could get all the pictures he needed

 

[Tink1o5]

Aliop- glad your scan went well.

It feels like yesterday we were all joining this group as little poppy seeds. Now we are all coming up on the halfway mark or are already there.
