Jammers--YAY! I am so glad you have answers, relief, and peace-of-mind!
Try to just take it easy, hopefully the pressure and "falling out" feeling isn't too uncomfortable or ideally, it subsides!
Peanut--
boo for being sick....but yay for feeling better! Gotta love how all of a sudden we get upset stomachs or heartburn from foods that we could easily enjoy before. I've already had an experience or two, myself! Have fun with your crafts. I wish I could hang out with you today and make things
Garden--ahhh I'm so excited for your scan today! I'm not sure what time it is at for you, but make sure you give us all of the beautiful details!
Congrats on the new gender reveals we've had this week. Seems like the teams are tied up as of now...although Zoe seems to imply that one of hers is team blue...
what about the other? We'll just say girl to keep things even
AFM--Some of you know already, but last night I had a few weird but awesome experiences! I was lying in bed, just watching Netflix on my phone for a few minutes before turning in. I was just poking and touching my belly. Well, all of a sudden my uterus got really hard. I didn't keep track for how long, but it probably wasn't more than 30 seconds (? I think?). It didn't hurt or anything, I honestly didn't even feel it happen beyond the actual physical touch of my hand, that recognized it had gone hard. A lot of people are saying it was a Braxton Hicks, which it seems to match up with what that sounds like! I guess I have just heard of women feeling BH happen, and like I said, I definitely wouldn't have noticed it whatsoever if I wasn't poking around, haha. So idk? But THEN a minute later, I felt a hard, strange lump down and to the right of my belly button. It was so firm compared to the rest of my uterus...I honestly think it was BABY! I have never felt anything like that before, and it was SO cool. I asked DH to come feel it and he said he was afraid to push too much and that he *thinks* he felt it, but wasn't sure. I think it's a lot easier to feel when it's *you* (well, duh lol) because it's not just your hand but your body and inside that feels something...so I was kinda bummed he seemed to not really get what I was getting. Regardless, it was awesome for ME and I'm sure as baby grows and I get to feel real kicks, DH will have his moment
So that's my exciting happenings for now. Still haven't scheduled my 20 week u/s (whoops) and my next appt is July 10. Feels like things are so boring right now
Lastly, this weekend will be fun...it's DH's birthday! His brothers and I went in on an iPad mini together for him. He is in medical school and tons of students use them for electronic medical record keeping, medical apps, note taking, etc. And the mini will fit in his white coat
. I know he will be ecstatic and grateful to receive it. I love giving him gifts, and since I know he will be so excited, I just cant wait to give it him tonight at dinner. I'm bad at keeping gifts hidden...I always want to say something or give them right away, so I am bursting at this point! lol We are also going to a museum exhibit on Sunday about World Fairs of the 1930s (he has said he wanted to go? idk lol) and then dinner at Texas de Brazil, a Brazilian steakhouse. Never been, but we have a BOGO-dinner free coupon (score!) and it's all you can eat delicious. I should take a bump pic after that dinner so I can pretend to be huge for a night
I will try to reply to more people in a bit...for ONCE I am actually motivated to do some writing for my grant proposal at work. It's honestly been WEEKS since I've gotten anything productive done in one sitting. I pray God grants me the focus and will power for the rest of the day. Just gotta stick it out until 4... (< 6 hours for me!) Everyone enjoy their Friday and weekend!
