2015 September Sweet Peas!!! all welcome to join

[Sbmack]

Oh and Babifever, if you aren't desperate for the job I'd pass. That's so many hours. I could not deal with 6 days a week!

 

[MamaBunny2]

Oh that is quite annoying, I'm really surprised now that my MIL actually waited until we made our public announcement before she went public with it.

Even though I was pretty sure it was set, I finally got a confirmation email back from the instructor and am FOR SURE getting my volunteer scan this Thursday! She said I'm to drink at least 36 ounces of water beforehand. It'll take around and hour and I'll get a CD afterwards. Too excited! For some this isn't a big deal but in Northern Ohio and the office I'm seen at they typically only do ONE scan per pregnancy around 20 weeks based on prior and current health. Fortunately/unfortunately for me I am quite healthy and have had no history of pregnancy issues and whatnot. This week is gonna draaaaaaag

36 ounces of water, isn't that a lot? My clinic says that at 12 weeks you don't have to drink any water. They just suggest that you have one just so it's a little easier for them to get a good picture.

xlaura - so sorry you've been ill, I hope the fluids give you the jumpstart to feeling better!

sb - how exciting your friend is going to be so close to you!

mamabunny - roll on thursday!!

AFM - we had a 8 week scan last week, baby has grown a lot! As have I.... I have a bump already and am already breaking into my maternity clothes.

Daydream looks great!

Jyllian is it Thursday yet?!?! I can't wait for your scan.. lol

So I'm 9 weeks today and is it just me or is a green olive like.. not the sweetest food comparison after the cute little berries and appleseeds? Hahah. I photograph the food each week as you might have seen and I refused to use a green olive so I went with a blackberry! I also figured out how to make a gif of it all in photoshop..

I have no idea I know for the gender scans I've been to they ask that you come with a full bladder. I've never had earlier scans so not sure what's typical but I figured it was requested as to get a better image.

Melewen I love your photos!

I haven't been on the board much ladies. I have been feeling so ill. My morning/all day sickness seems to be at its peak. I am just happy enough when I can make it through a work day without spenging half my time in the bathroom. I keep telling myself it won't be much longer, but I really fear it will go beyond the normal 12 weeks like my DD. I'm taking 1 day at a time as that's really all one can do. So very grateful my hubby has taken on more around the house, but I feel bad that he's doing so much.

On a good note, I haven't had any more spotting or cramping since my first scan, so I guess all has finally settled in there.

Hope everyone is doing well. I think of the Sept Sweet Peas often, and how in 9 months we'll all be exchanging cute newborn pics, keeps me looking on the bright side.

 

[knobby]

Daydream, yay your scan pics look perfect!

Melewen, that gif is so cool!

Mango, I hope you start feeling better soon.

My NT scan to screen for trisomies is on Wednesday, I'm so nervous, I hope everything will be alright. Is anyone else getting this done soon?

Also, I'm anxious to see what the "angle of the dangle" is as it is a semi-good predictor of gender and can be seen around 12 weeks. This doctor seemed pretty confident about it anyway:

[Sbmack]

Oh no Kika7 I'm so sorry for your loss. It's not fair! Massive hugs.

 

[TTC First]

knobby - I think thats what I will be doing on the 24th, the doctor called it an IPS test. Let us know how it goes.

Kika7 - ohhh no way, so sorry to hear. Hope to see you back on this side very soon!

36 ounces of water, isn't that a lot? My clinic says that at 12 weeks you don't have to drink any water. They just suggest that you have one just so it's a little easier for them to get a good picture.

Seems like a lot of water to me too. Maybe it's a regular US and not a transvaginal. When I had a regular one to look at a cyst they had me drink alot of water. I have the NT scan coming up and there was no mention of fluids before hand. Can't wait to hear how the scan goes!

Melewen, what a great idea with the fruits. Love it!

Mango, I hope you feel better soon. Don't feel bad about dh doing more housework...you have an important job to do yourself. Growing a baby is a lot of work!

 

[MamaBunny2]

Kika I'm so sorry Hope you can join us again soon.

Knobby I'm not getting any screening or tests done, but this Thursday I'll be getting a volunteer scan at 12 weeks + 1 day and I'm pretty anxious to see if baby gives a good shot of his or her goods. I was reading about the angle yesterday while Googling gender prediction at 12 weeks and I'm curious.

Sbmack it's not a transvaginal ultrasound. That'd be pretty awkward for me as it's not with my doctor and a group of students!
