Anyone else expecting a November sparkler? *Updated with due dates!*

[gardenofedens]

Zoe- sorry you are having trouble finding twin 1, I'm sure everything is fine. Try not to stress, not good for babies. They do make home scanners that plug into your smart phone but they are about $7500, lol.

peanut- terrible news about the gd but glad you have the info to keep things under control

Afm, my pregnancy allergies are still kicking my butt. I don't remember when they finally subsided with dd but I hope it's soon!

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

Ty but I don't have Gestational Diabetes. I have type 1 diabetes I found out 9 days after my 10th Birthday! So almost 20 years. if it were gd it could be controlled a lot easier, I have to almost start all over again. It is scary sometimes. But I am getting used to it.

Oh wow, sorry I missed that!

 

[peanutmomma]

it's okay garden I am not upset just letting you know.

Hey everyone, I am well peanut is a LEMON. 4" long is so much larger than I thought it was. I had to have DH show me how big it really was. LOL I have a 14 week picture in the 2nd trimester bumps thread. Not to much bigger then two weeks ago. Just bigger feeling boobies. LOL

 

[teacup22]

Cute bump peanut! I'm jealous of your nakey belly ones. I wish I didn't have so many stretch marks from DS

 

[peanutmomma]

I have some stretch marks on my thighs and boobies. They are from when I was younger though. i hope they don't get darker. My mom and sister both had them where I have them so maybe I will luck out with not having them on my belly to badly. And I think stretch marks on your belly are well earned during pregnancy. SHow it off momma

Oh no. It's horrid and a bit saggy looking too... Maybe when my bump is a bit bigger

 

[peanutmomma]

Tower- You are posted on the thread bump and I put you on the Private FB group page too. Everyone is jealous of how HOT you are and More Boy guesses for you.

 

[BubsMom17]

Is anyone else's tummy sore? Maybe 2nd plus pregnancy moms? I feel like, tightness and general soreness in my lower tummy, like at the bottom of my bump. Should I assume it's growing pains and just try to take it easy today? I feel like I need a really good stretch but it hurts my round ligaments to get a strong stretch...

 

[buddyIV]

Thanks soooo much for all the support and hugs ladies: it really means a lot to me, and I feel much better for just getting those fears out to people who understand how I'm feeling. THANK YOU!!!

It's reassuring to hear other ladies have the same feelings and concerns, even when we know that everything is most likely absolutely perfect. I'll be thinking of you both Gardenofedens and laura3103 on Thursday...happy day for all!

Lora I don't have access to a doppler unfortunately, but believe me I've thought about buying one over the past 4 weeks! My only reason for not getting one is that I could see myself becoming obsessive with it...never leaving the house...

What you said makes 100% sense Missk. I had a mc in December, and just had a feeling that things weren't right. This time, despite my irrational wobbles, I feel that ultimately everything is absolutely fine. I had the same sense when I was pregnant with DS, despite the fact that we had all sorts of issues...I always knew I'd be holding him in my arms at the end of it all.

As for friends, I certainly feel that sometimes friends don't quite get it when you can only come out occasionally, or that when you do you *always* leave early. That said, my really good and true friends are understanding and actually do what they can to accommodate me (like arranging lunch dates instead of evening pub things). Having a baby definitely separates the true and the "fair weather" friends.

It's not happened for a couple of weeks, but I have experienced it this time round. I'd been running about after DS all day, and then had a really busy night at work, and by the time I got home and fell into bed my tummy was really sore and tight. It subsided by the morning thankfully, and I just put it down to a bit of stretching and overdoing it a little. I hope you're tummy feels less tight, and you get to put your feet up asap! x

 

[BubsMom17]

Thanks buddy, I also chalk it up to digestional discomfort. I have very mild IBS, and am getting over a stomach bug, so between constipation and diarrhea and everything in between, things get sore but sometimes it's easy to let worries sink in and get it to worrying us... We ALL know that, right?

As far as friends, I have no close friends with kids, and all my cousins who I am close with are 2000 miles away. Without BnB, I would be pretty lonely. Love you ladies!

 

[Gemie]

Omgosh tower you're a yummy mummy wowzers!! :-D

 

[cassafrass]

Thanks girls ! I'm over it ...for now lol..
Love seeing the bumps !!
Can't wait til I'm huge and waddling around !

 

[peanutmomma]

I love BNB for I do not have my own vehicle and can't drive DH's truck. I haven't any money of my own so I NEVER leave the house unless DH is taking me somewhere. and I don't have any friends. I on very rare occassions will chat on FB with an ex-coworker. But she is quite younger than I am and is into the party seen. So, I have no one at all. I sometimes send a message to my sister or call my mom every other weekend for like 10 minutes. SO, again I have no one to talk to and I am actually quite lonely anymore. I never had had what many would call close friends. the last one I had was 10 years ago and passed away and I never said a proper good bye. If I didn't have you all and the internet I think I would be in a very deep depression for sure.

YES I have been feeling like this on and off for a few days! I'm assuming it's my uterus expanding, but it sometimes makes me feel like I need to sit down.

Ladies I had another weird spotting episode today, but mostly I'm annoyed and perplexed rather than scared. I went to the bathroom and there was a red splotch in my undies like the very start of my period. But that was it-- no more. Since I pee 1000x a day it would have happened in a short period of time. Since we had TWO ultrasounds last week and baby was fine, I'm at 13 weeks now and I still feel it move I'm just going to chalk it up to hormonal madness and ignore for now. But SO WEIRD.

Also it is obscenely hot for May here today (84 degrees F/28.8 C) and we are sweltering. (Typical temp for us this time of year is maybe 62F). DS is upstairs rolling around his crib talking to himself-- I'm sure he's having trouble sleeping because it's so hot.

 

[gardenofedens]

Bubs and brinib, my tummy has been hurting too. Very uncomfortable.

 

[zowiey]

Peanut & bubsmon- that's what I love about the Internet! And what a special time for us all to connect, we'll never forget this support, because we'll never forget being pg with our bubbas

Laura, if you feel that a scan sooner would help do it. I really regret not booking one when I had my spotting episode, I put myself through so much, and could have stopped it earlier. Also,(& I know these stories don't help relieve any stress) but at my first scan both babies were about 3-4 days behind, and I know my exact date of conception, and at my last scan both had caught up. Big

Well, I am going to spend the day on a sun lounger doing nothing! I feel horrible, stupid cold! I slept sooo badly last night, so I'll be preggo bitch from hell if I try to do anything today hubby has gone down to make me a choccie milkshake, think he's trying to keep me sweet

The bugaboo mission went quite well yesterday. There are really only 2 prams I liked (well only one, but looked at the other for hubby's sake!) we looked at the obaby zezu, which was massive! It was ok, but just so wide, it was almost as wide as my arm span. Looked on eBay when we got back & there was one selling on there, 6 months old & not been used for a month, hmmm says all I need to know, it's obviously so big you can't use it. Then looked at the bugaboo, and oh! It's beautiful it was so easy to push a lot smaller, it looked a lot better too, and even hubby admitted that he liked it! So now to keep looking on eBay! I don't think we can really justify to new price!

100% understandable! If you can afford it, and they can fit you in before Thursday (even if it's Wednesday!) I say go for it. The 9th cannot come quick enough!

peanut ...it's an amazing thing that we're all here to share this journey together; this group means a lot as its the one place where you know you can just be honest, and indulge all your baby concerns/hopes/dreams/excitement without fear of judgement or boring people. I, for one, cannot get enough baby!!!

You ladies are all fantastic! x
