August 2017

[misspriss]

We need a name for sure, keep the suggestions coming! I figured we'd probably wait until most of the August due dates were here to choose a name, since it's so early! I will probably put a poll on the original post if I can so we can vote on it (that is how it was done on my last due date group!).

I just bought a bra, my breasts have actually gotten SMALLER around the time of my BFP, all my bras are too big. I think my milk supply must've gone down a bit (still tandem nursing). So I have bras for if my boobs get bigger, I'll just go back into my old ones. But I needed something for NOW.

Otherwise I'm just mostly tired a lot. Having two active children is tiring as it is, having two active children and a baby growing inside? *sigh*. I ran into an acquaintance today, has SEVEN children. I hold her in the highest regard, for sure! Seven! Of course some of them are much older, my oldest is only 3...

Ahh, okay, a poll is a great idea!

I can imagine you are exhausted! I only have 1 little one and the one on the way and I am worn out already!

Hello everyone. I got my BFP yesterday (just double checked and it's still here). I'm due August 18th. I actually don't have any soreness in my Booba but pelvic cramping is horrible. That and insomnia are the worst of my sysmptoms right now. I swear I have more symptoms on AF!

There is another August group named August Apples. I think the two might combine...

Hello! I'm due August 23rd just got my positive this morning!!

 

[misspriss]

Welcome guys!

I am having an emotional day.

I took my first belly picture today, I wish I had taken an earlier one as I am already bloating up and I know from experience it doesn't "go back down" on me before I start really showing. I already feel like someone could tell if they were looking close.

Anyway, got a new bra, a wire free pregnancy/nursing bra. It makes me look dumpy. I am in a poor mood.

August 12th!!!

 

[OhHappyZ]

Ooh for a name, what about August Sunrays, August Adorables, August Dumplings, August Squishies. lol

 

[misspriss]

So when does everyone have their first appointments? How far will you be? Do you know if you will have a scan?

Mine is the 21st of december, they plan to do a scan. I will be 7w5d. I can't wait!

 

[CountryBride]

I'm bloated like crazy too--I definitely look pregnant (But I was already fat so that doesn't help either lol). I've heard that this is normal for 2nd and beyond babies.
My first appt is Jan 3--I will be 8w1d and they say I will have an ultrasound first

 

[misspriss]

Yeah, I am not planning to tell until Christmas, hoping I can keep it hidden!

 

[OhHappyZ]

My first appt was supposed to be just a fertility checkup, and I made it a month ago, I just changed it to a prenatal appt. It's this Tuesday! We are telling some people tomorrow because I can't hide this sickness anymore and we temporarily live with my Mil and Sil.

We plan to be team yellow all the way, anyone else?

 

[kittykat7210]

I could never be team yellow! I envy those able to but I'm just too goddamn nosey and impatient!! Our baby will be raised gender neutral anyway so it really doesn't make a difference but I really want to know XD

 

[misspriss]

OhHappyZ, I live with my in-laws temporarily too! I am not sick but I am sure she will notice the bloating any day now, my MIL that is. My FIL is pretty oblivious, probably would not notice until I am walking around about to pop If I had a SIL they would probably notice, girls are just better at it.

 

[misspriss]

My DD has a check up the 12th, and she gets her full leg cast off the 21st (same day I have my appointment). Hope it goes well. And I see my psychiatrist (prenatal specialist) on the 22nd.

Your ticker is cool misspriss I need to edit my signature. I'm not sure about gender finding out. We both wanted to know the last two times so we found out (plus it was the first thing everyone saw on our ds 20w ultrasound so we didn't have a choice but to know). I'm really tempted to.keep this one a surprise. The only thing is I think letting my dd know what to expect might help her to adjust closer to the time....knowing that it's another little brother for example. Any thoughts?? Would you find out gender for the sake of your other kids or is that unnecessary?

 

[misspriss]

I do not know, we are probably staying team yellow. We stayed team yellow with DS, did not with DD. But since we have one of both already I kind of want the surprise.

 

[ARuppe716]

I have an appt on January 3rd, they won't do a scan until 11+ weeks so end of Jan/beginning of Feb. We will find out the gender as I'm too impatient and way too much of a planner!

 

[CrowBaby]

I'm here!

Due Date is August 18, 2017 from LMP. Had first bloodwork Friday, so waiting till Monday for the HCG and then my doctor gets back on Thursday and we will schedule other things like progesterone. Hoping this is my rainbow!

 

[misspriss]

Welcome! Hope this is your rainbow CrowBaby!
