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

[elt1013]

Hello ladies...due November 16 here and almost to the halfway point! Hope no one minds if I join you.

Of course not!

Today is my halfway point if Aidan comes at 36+2 like Abigail did! Hard to believe it's so close to almost over already!!

Has everyone got names yet? It still doesn't feel real to me
I'm feeling kicks and have had our 20 week scan and all was ok but it really doesn't feel as real as it did with my son?
We don't have a spare room for a nursery so can't do that. Just really hoping our 4d scan in 4 1/2 weeks will help...

I've got names, but we still don't know for sure what baby is yet. So, yeah it's not sinking in for me yet either. I'm having a hard time, because I'm trying not to think of the baby as either a boy OR a girl so that I'm not disappointed one way or another. And I think trying to do that has bit me in the butt anyway. Y'all wanna see my confusing scan I had on Monday? Poor tech didn't know for sure, though she thinks it's a boy.

What has everyone confused is the labia looking parts around what looks like COULD be a sack. lol And I've got friends swearing that fork looking thing is girl parts. lol I think it's just wishful thinking. It's just not a good picture to know for sure. And when I went online looking for similar pics, there ARE none. lol I guess my baby wanted to mess with our heads!

I won't be having a 3d OR a 4d scan. We don't have that option here, and I'd have to drive over an hour to get one, and then of course pay for it. I'll just stick with what I can get, I guess. lol

Jammers, how are you feeling today? Everything normal-ish?

Our little girls name is going to be Zaya Mae, it means Victorious woman.
It does and does not feel real to me. I think she is letting me feel her movements, but I still question if it is her or am I starting to get hungrier now? LOL I think when I feel her hard kicks I will feel it is more real.

 

[jammers77]

Yes, thank God, everything is normal!! My bet is that I had some big surge of hormones or something and was flushing out a bunch of milky/clearish discharge. I'm waiting to see if I get a call from my OB about the results of my swabs. I'm wondering if I'm taking this Flagyl for nothing. The ER said my doctor would call me if it's an infection, and so far I've not heard anything. I hate taking antibiotics if I don't have to!

Hi Ladies!
For those of you who don't know, Cassie (Cassafrass) had surgery this morning to remove kidney stones.
The surgery went fine, they got all the stones. She has stents on both sides until Friday, and she is at home resting now. They didn't have to knock her out, they were able to do a spinal block for anesthesia. Baby's heartbeat was a perfect 146 after the procedure, so hopefully she is well on her way to recovery!

Thank goodness all is well! Thank you for the update

So relived to hear that about Cass x

 

[babymonkey18]

Garden, congrats on the half way point! It's not almost over, lol...feels like it's going to take forever for november to come!

Jammers, so glad to hear that everything is good! I hope you don't have an infection.

 

[jammers77]

Aww, glad that Cass is doing good!

 

[BubsMom17]

I really don't feel like 20 weeks feels like the half-way point. I felt like the second half of my pregnancy dragged last time!
Remember, for the irst 4-5 weeks, most of us didn't even know we were pregnant. It's like we woke up at 5 weeks! Now we really have to live every day of the next 20 weeks...

But I don't mind. I am trying to enjoy it. You are only pregnant with THIS baby one time. Besides, it reminds me that I do have time to prep and not everything has to be rush, rush rush!

 

[peanutmomma]

I sometimes feel 20 weeks is halfway and sometimes don't LOL I really think Zaya Mae will be here before her due date and then again I feel that November is forever away. But, I look at it in weeks or months and not days. Then, I think of it as by the time Christmas or Thanksgiving is here I will have my little girl here to share it all with

My dad always flies out from Michigan at Christmas and spends a week with us. I can't believe that he will have another grandson when he comes out this time!

Best part is, I'll be on maternity leave so we can hang out the whole time together!

 

[rachael872211]

Glad that Cass is doing ok.

Half way point today!!! Yay!!! Also had scan and we are having a GIRL!! So pleased Reeled off all of my names to OH tonight and he said no to everyone of them We are no good at agreeing names.

Have awful back pain today. Feels like I have a trapped nerve cause its in my lower back and down to my bum. I don't know what it is or what to do to relieve it. Even sitting down hurts. I have work this weekend too and I know its going to be a nightmare cause I basically sit down for 12 hours. Hopefully it will go by then. xx
