5 weeks today... Bump buddies?

I'm thrilled about mine too, for a lot of various reasons. A summer baby is nice when thinking about b'day parties, but there are winter options as well, like indoor water parks or winter resort for a day...something...
 
My EDD is 6th Dec!! So exciting!
Yes no doubt, sounds like a good idea!
I'm team yellow too! I'll be happy as long as it's healthy!
Urm unsure about the Doppler just because I've heard bad things about it.
 
Same here...healthy equals happy! Really? What have you heard about the Doppler. I've never heard anything bad about it and I know plenty women on here who've used it with no problems. I didn't use it every day just whenever I'd feel a twinge on first tri, just until I heard a strong steady heartbeat...not even for a whole 5 mins. Later I only used it when I wouldn't feel him love for extended periods of time.
 
Exactly!

Just something to do with the electronic waves it gives off and that if you can't hear anything you work yourself up which can put stress on the baby.
But it does sound so good! And id love to be able to hear my babies heartbeat whenever I want!
 
I had to catch up with all off your messages. I'm due on the 6th, too, Michelle! My first appt is on April 23rd. I feel like I've been counting if the seconds. I'm so impatient like that. Lol. With dd I had a very fun reveal party on my birthday. I invited my closest cousin to my 20 wk anatomy scan. Oh and I weren't allowed to see the screen. That evening my cousin brought a gorgeously wrapped box full of pink balloons that we opened in front of everyone. I want to have another one for this little person. Since I'm worried I may be showing by dd 1st birthday, I was thinking of sending out a clever announcement photo with her party invitations. Last time I announced the pregnancy to my family through a game of Pictionary. Oh! I've been looking at the belly band because I remember a point when the waistband on my regular pants wouldn't button yet maternity pants were too loose.
 
ILS I'm thinking the same thing...that I may be showing by ds b'day. I showed early with him, right around the end of first tri and considering someone already told me I was showing, thanks to the bloat and whatnot, and considering they say you show sooner with #2, I'm thinking eventually I'd have to say something. We are having a BBQ in the park for his b'day, and its summer so it's not like I'll be wearing bigger winter type clothes that could hide it.

I loved the belly band with ds. If I could have went longer with it I would have, but there was nothing doing with it after first tri. I'd lost about 70lbs before I fell with my son and I thought I wouldn't show until much further along, but when I couldn't breath I broke down and got maternity clothes, lol. Considering I've lost even more since I had him, I don't think I'll be making further than last time before this little one pops.
 
I just have to say ladies, all of your LOs in your avatar pics are SO adorable!!! Ebony, your son is too cute for words!
 
Haven't got an appointment booked yet, keep feeling like it's too early and I'll jinx it if I make any plans!

It's complicated but I'm also not telling my DH that I'm pregnant for a few more weeks. It's making it really hard handling the tiredness when I can't say what's wrong. He thinks I've got a bug.
 
Thanks Randa. Believe it or not, he looks exactly like me! So picture him in 28 years and that's me!

Blu, that must be hard. Are making it a big surprise for him? Just go with the bug thing, or say you're really busy or stressed at work.
 
MS is definitely trying to barge its way in. I remembered this, but I guess just didn't remember how much I hated it or how bad it made me feel...blah.

I also scheduled my genetic testing today so this will be the first time we see our miracle on 5/17! So excited about that!

Sorry probably being really silly! What does MS mean?
 
Morning sickness. And you're not being silly, lol. I didn't know what half of this stuff was when I first joined this sight. I usually don't use abbreviations, but I'm just to lazy to type it all out these days, lol.
 
Ahhh of course it is!! Thank you!
Ive been feeling a little rough when I wake up in the morning the last couple of days.
I really hope I dont get morning sickness... Im terribly pathetic when Im ill. haha.
 
Me too, lol. I cried yesterday, lol. Did the same thing with my son. Then I was sad cause mu team ordered pizza for lunch and this was right before the pizza, lol.
 
Hi ladies!

I am 26 and I am 5+3. I have a history of ectopic, and miscarriage. It has been 8-10 years since those though! SO I am hopeful! So far my Betas have been 25-77 77-243 243-1622 and 1622-4067 so that is good! I have had three US all had nothing except at 5+1 which had two sacs, and no yolks. SO we are still not in the clear, but we go in on Monday for another scan to see if the yolk developed.

It would be awesome to have a friend during this time.... I get so anxious, and scared. It's hard to stay optimistic, but I am trying!! Hope everyone else is doing good!
 
Hi Maria!

Welcome. I have a scan on monday too... let us know how it goes.
Two sacks could that mean two babies?
 
Me too, lol. I cried yesterday, lol. Did the same thing with my son. Then I was sad cause mu team ordered pizza for lunch and this was right before the pizza, lol.

Oh god! Ive come close to crying a few times!
Ive been having aches and pains the last few days... being at work and on my feet doesnt help.
 
Blah st being on your feet. I can at least sit. But my back recently started hurting on the one side. Same thing happened with my son. I hate ms. Last time it really was in the morning, this time it's right around lunch. Actually like right now!
 
Hi! Thank you for the warm welcome! This would be #1 EEEEEK. They said it could be two sacs, yes. Or pseudo-gestational sacs. Hopefully it is two!!
