2016 May Miracles

[Flossie_Aus]

Thanks ladies, he's the spit of his father already!

Kitteh I know what you mean, I always envisaged myself with a daughter, so finding out I'm having a son threw me. I don't love him any less, it's just taking a bit of time to get used to the idea. It gets easier with every little kick

! I've been craving hibachi this past week, so we're going to dinner afterwards so I can stuff myself with fried rice and yum yum sauce as well. Can't wait to confirm if it's a boy finally!

OMG..... somebody else gets it... I've been craving hibachi and the yum yum sauce like CRAZY... no one else gets it this made my day (and it's only 6:30am)

 

[pinkpassion]

Congrats flossie, handsome little man there!!!!

 

[Kitteh_Kat]

Congrats, Flossie!!! Such a handsome little boy already!

Spiffy - yay for no spotting! Hope the shot went well

OMG, pink! Have you checked your local stores for this? (I think Walmart is supposed to carry it) It's not *quite* the same taste as the ones at the hibachi places, but still so yummy. I had some on my rice for dinner last night. But yes, I could eat hibachi and yum yum sauce every day if we were rich! Can you convince your husband to take you out to get some?

(One more day, eep!)

 

[pinkpassion]

O man. I HAVE TO go look for that. There's only one hibachi out of the 9 I've been to (in a close distance to me) that has the yum yum sauce, and theirs is just a bit too much cayenne but I'll take it over nothing!!! I'll have to convince dh to take me soon!!!! (Off to go look for that amazing yum yum sauce!)

 

[Spiffynoodles]

Thanks, Kitteh. The shot was fine, except my DH kind of nicked me with the needle as he was pulling it out, so that didn't feel so good.

 

[sugargully]

I've never heard of yum yum sauce. Sounds awesome. I'm going to check my Walmart.

Had a pretty BAD weekend so my Dr wanted to admit me Monday when I went for my appointment for fluids I refused as I knew it was Not needed ... I insisted on the scan they were suppose to do anyways after 4 hrs at the Dr dealing w them He was great!!

My dr started me on Hypertension meds and I will be calling the other dr after yesterday's frustrations!!

Congrats to those finding out Gender and feeling flutters!! I can finally feel my Lil guy most days but he was so active during the scan she said I would most likely feel a Ton if the placenta wasn't in the way!!

 

[Em260]

Flossie - congrats on the baby boy!! That little face is so precious!

Kitteh - thanks, I'll have to check out some consignment stores too. What a great gift to see your little one and have hibachi yum! I'm been craving that and ramen from a Japanese place near us. DH is so tired of eating there hehe.

Spiffy - Ouch those needle sticks are never fun! That's great you don't have to worry about getting more clothes. I didn't buy much during my last pregnancy because by the time it got really cold and I was getting really big I kept telling myself I shouldn't waste money with only a couple of months left. This time around my belly is much bigger so I definitely need to get some clothes haha.

Drjo - I think it's normal to feel a strong preference for one gender and then disappointment if it turns our you're expecting the other. I definitely went through that this time around. Fingers crossed you have a little girl cooking in there!

 

[Em260]

sis4us - sorry to hear that I'm glad you're doing better and your little guy is doing well too.

 

[TTDuck]

Kitteh I think his next trip is some time next month. Planning a post Xmas trip to visit my family.

Drjo with my first I kept saying I would be happy with either but was super relieved when we found out it was a girl. I don't know if it's because I had 3 sisters but I think I'm terrified of raising a boy!

 

[TTDuck]

I've started feeling some possible flutters lately also. Can't wait until it's enough for my daughter! I'm still too small to have an obvious bump so I'm not sure how much she understands about a baby in mommy's belly! 😂

 

[NZKiwi]

I've started feeling what I think is some early movement too, but I'm a ftm so I keep wondering if I imagined it or not!

 

[Spiffynoodles]

Sis, I'm sorry you had such a crappy weekend. When I went in with bad contractions with DS1, they wanted to hook me up to an IV for fluids, so I grabbed my water bottle and said, "You tell me how much water you want me to drink, and I'll do it." Anything to avoid an IV! I love the scan pic. He's a cutie!

It's exciting to hear about everyone starting to feel movements. I love feeling my little guy squirming around.

TTDuck, my DS1 is about your DD's age, and he has no concept of the baby in my tummy, and I look very pregnant! But my DD, at that same age, understood that I had a baby in my tummy, so I think it just depends on the kid.

 

[cookielucylou]

20 weeks here now, this seems to be flying past! Been feeling lots of movement :-D

 

[Flossie_Aus]

Getting kicked hard enough for hubby to feel it over here (with an anterior placenta surprisingly), and had a lump of baby sticking out of my belly earlier which was so funny. We went from zero movement to solid kicks pretty much overnight, thank goodness they don't hurt yet! And already managing to wet my pants every time I sneeze. The next 22 weeks are going to be interesting

 

[TTDuck]

Spiffy I think she sometimes gets it to some extent. It helps she goes to my appointments so she gets to hear the heartbeat. I'm wondering what she'll think of the anatomy scan next month! I like to ask her if we're going to call the baby Evelyn or Brigitte and she changes her mind all the time! But she always gives me her opinion! lol!
Flossie I had a cold last month with some bad, hard coughs... yeah I needed a liner... luckily I've had better bladder control lately!

 

[Kitteh_Kat]

Glad you got to see your baby again at least, Sis! Sorry you had such a frustrating experience though

Spiffy - Ouch! I hope he made it up to you

Em - Hope you're able to find some things! If not there should be some big sales going on for the holidays

TTDuck - At least he'll be home for the month. (and I'm totally biased on the name Evelyn )

So exciting to see all of you ladies feeling movements! This one kicks me several times throughout the day, which is so different from DD. I kinda hope they're not this active when they arrive!

 

[Spiffynoodles]

Flossie, I love it when DH gets to feel the kick, too! My little one has his feet right over my cervix (or at least he did a week ago at my ultrasound) so DH isn't likely to feel anything until baby moves to a different position. But my placenta is posterior this time, so once he does change positions, we should get some nice good kicks for DH to feel.

Cookie, congrats on hitting the half-way mark! I love getting to 20 weeks, because then I can tell myself that the rest is all downhill.

And yeah, I have to quickly cross my legs tightly when I sneeze or else I'm wetting myself, too!

 

[Kitteh_Kat]

Anyone else having trouble remembering things? I completely forgot about DD's case manager coming over for her weekly appointment... remembered 20 minutes before she was scheduled to arrive so had just enough time to throw proper clothes on both of us and do some frantic picking up and sweeping.

I even have it written down in my planner, so I have no excuse!
