Ema- Aww such great pictures I am thinking Girl for some reason.

Lora- You look fabulous I commented on FB too.

Zowie- sorry the twins were playing tricks on you and hiding

Angel- good luck with Doctor Appointment today

Everyone else Hello, good morning it is 11 am here. The sun is out again and my fur-baby is watching her birds out the window. Now she is afraid to go outside (fine with me) but she loves to watch the birds and meow at them all the time.
We built a fire last night to start cleaning up the yard clippings and cut down tress branches. It was so pretty and relaxing. We plan to have another one tonight.

Tower- I did say I would put up baby's HB after some guessed. It was 161 and when I asked the Doctor how true the theory is about if it is a boy the HB will be under 140 and a girl over 140. He said it is pretty accurate, but that it isn't really accurate until after 24 weeks as that's when the babies HB will begin to slow down and become closer the ranges. At this point the baby could be 130-180 and it still be a boy or girl. So, I guess I will see where Baby peanut is in a little under 12 weeks then.

I got woke up by a call this morning from my Doctors office with the overall results from the NT scan and t18 scan. No bad news at all. My over all ratios combines were 1 in 12,000. That is 1 in 591 for the Downs Syndrome and with the blood proteins added made the overall. Tower- I really hope they call you sooner than later and tell you yours is just fine. I love you twin

Doctors appt went good. Routine monthly visit Weight (down two pounds) Not actively trying to lose some fluff so that was ok hahaha, urine, BP slightly lower and still within normal. 2 Nurses could not find little bears HB with doppler they finally went to get doctor to see if he could. But he opted to just go for the primitive sonogram machine in office instead. So got to see a grainy kinda crappy sonogram of the baby! lol But she/he was in there wriggling and bouncing away and the HB was flickering away too!

Doctor said baby is still so small and deep in me so that's why it was hard to pick up on doppler. Plus as we all know I am an extra fluffy gal so not easy to find on doppler because of that! He saw the HB so he was happy and said my uterus and cervix looked good. I had a LEEP about a decade ago so I have to have monthly Cervix checks to make sure my cervix stays long and closed. He said mine looked and felt great. Such a relief till the next panic!!! hahaha

No real scan until gender/anatomy scan at 20 weeks though. It was a real bummer!! Because today's scan was reassuring but not that great and definitely no pics. So a little disappointed on that front but just grateful that the LO was happy and healthy in there so that's all that matters!!

Good morning ladies (for you UK ladies it is only 9:50 am California time). I have my scan today, and I can't wait to add my little cub's picture to the thread a long with everyone else's! My scan isn't until 3:00, so many of you probably won't see until tomorrow.
I am still nervous, but trying to be positive that everything will be fine.

I had a lot of stretchy pain on Saturday night. DH gave my tummy a rub down with cocoa butter and it felt so nice. I am starting to remember how sore the tummy can get once in the second and third trimester.

I'm going to be moving over to second trimester once I see my scan is all good! I'm 13+3 today, and once I see all is good, I feel it will be a good time to move over.

Eek! Can't wait for pics

Bubsmom- Oh, I can't wait for your pictures only 5 hours to go Yippee!!! I bet baby will be real cute and do fun stuff like baby peanut did, as in wave and do just adorable things. I have started to talk on 2nd trimester thread already, But my loyalty will always be with everyone here.
Today I woke up and looked in the mirror across the room and I noticed that I now have a little bump when laying down. LOL So exciting. I have read a few stories of ladies on BNB talking about how they have a bump laying down but not standing up. I am the Total opposite I have a bump started that you all have seen in my pictures but I haven't really had one laying down til now

 

[BubsMom17]

I have NO bump laying down, but it really popped out this weekend. Yesterday my sister told me, "You look so preg today! Not bloated, but preg!" Then before I went to bed last night, my mom (who lives with us), said, "Wow you look pregnant! You lost the bloat! It looks like a round pregnant belly now!" So happy the chub seems to have left!

 

[BubsMom17]

OK, this may be a really silly question... but my scale at home weighs me five pounds less than the one at the doctor! My doc said not to fret about it, but I can't stand it!
If went according to the doctor's numbers, I would have gained 10 pounds! By my numbers, 4.5!

 

[peanutmomma]

my doctors scale weighs me a bit more too. I just tend to go by my scale at home for the starting weight then add from there. Fortunately, my Doctor's office is going by my weight from the first appointment and by the WIC office. I have gained just under 4lbs. of I go by the WIC office compared to my scale. Every time I am at the doctor's office I have a full bladder and so far I have been a little constipated when I am there. So, I have gained 4.5 lbs. but, if I go by what I know my weight was arround the time we conceived. I happened to weigh myself on Feb. 12 as I was able to fit into these cute leggins and didn't look bloated or anything so I thought I was losing weight. Well, then I have gained almost 8-9 lbs.
My doctor doesn't seem to worried about it

 

[gardenofedens]

My weight at the dr is always higher too. My theory is I'm fully clothed with shoes and a full bladder whereas at home I only weigh myself naked, after I've home to the bathroom and right after dd finishes nursing so I don't even have the milk weight, lol. I've gained 1.8 pounds as of two weeks ago at nine weeks. I should weigh myself again but I've eaten so so so much ice cream in the past week, I'm scared, lol! I gained weight way faster with my first pregnancy though.

 

[BubsMom17]

Yeah, my doc says they are more concerned about your rate of gain as opposed to the actual numbers. Since I always weigh more there, my rate of gain isn't really a concern.

I don't know why I stress about this so much... hormones I guess...

Yeah! I always weigh myself first thing in the morning, naked, after I pee, before I eat or drink anything! I figure that is my real weight!

 

[peanutmomma]

that's is what I was always told is the best time to weigh your self after FMU before eating anything. because otherwise you are weighing higher than your true weight.

Good luck with your scan today! So exciting when one of us is going to see their little baby; looking forward to hearing how it goes. x

Had my NT scan today. Everything looks good so far! Baby was wiggly and turning around, it was a really nice experience. Measuring around 4-5 days ahead, but dr sticking with original due date. Here he/she is:

Ever since I started bfing, my weight is higher in the morning (bbs are full of milk!) than in the evening when bbs are worn out and almost empty so I use my evening weight. But I'll always use whatever is less, lol
