Babies due in JUNE!

[sadie]

And hey, I have only gained 5 lbs in 9 weeks! What a shocker!!! I was expecting much more!

 

[Ellie Bellie]

I've been outed by fruit on FaceBook! Two weeks ago, I said I was fascinated by blueberries. Then this past week I asked if there was a way to use raspberries in professional communication at work. Last night, a friend of ours privately messages us and asks how Raspberry (or Olive) is doing. The only way this guy would have a clue is if his wife is pregnant too, so I asked and she's due in May. (DH knew and forgot to tell me.) I asked that he keep quiet until we have a prune or a plum, and I think he will, but it's stressing DH because he didn't want to tell this group of friends until early December. I'm just blown away that this friend read my posts closely enough and pieced them together like that!

Sadie..so maybe you have more bloating and air going on than anything right now?

Ellie- what a trip about the friend on FB!! At least he should completely understand about discretion. Heee.

TWO more days..and maybe I get to make myself officially assured! I tell you though, these days, I'm in bed at 9p and still dragging to get up at 6:30a or 7a! Glad I'm working from home on Monday...I'm going to plan to be really efficient, but grab a catnap if I need it!! Have an enjoyable weekend all, I'm on sitter duty for part of it, so going to run all my errands now before I'm needed.

SS, Lots of hard bloat and 5 lbs of fat! Haha. I need totake the dog for longer walks but its starting to get cod here!


So funny about FB, ellie.

Enjoy the weekend, all. its almost 2 pm and i am putting myself down for a nap!

i'm due in june. I haven't been to the dr. yet but i am about 8 or 9 weeks. i haven,t gain weight yet due to really feeling nausea. I am hoping I'll gain very little weight and yet eat healthy as i am overweight. i have been eating healthy, and staying away from fatty and sugary food. oh i am 34 going on 35 in jan.

 

[sadie]

Hi DG, welcome!

Hi deafgal. Congrats on your pregnancy. Nice to hear you are eating healthy. My MS has been hell for the last 3 weeks so Ive been living on chocolate, crisps and generally anything else that doesnt make me feel sick when I eat it! I cant go one day without a chocolate fix ATM. Hopefully Ill start craving apples and healthy stuff once Im back to feeling normal again. x

 

[deafgal]

Thanks! yeah, the only thing I can tolerate right now is oranges and blueberries bagels. everything else makes me want to run to the bathroom.

Just got back from a good scan and appointment! Baby is measuring 9w3d, but dr is going to keep my due date for June 16 and she already scheduled a c-section for June 11 (my first was born by c-section after 16 hours of failed induction...baby and her head were way too big for me...it should be noted that I am little and my husband is very very large --as in 6'8" or over 2 meters for those of you on a metric system). HB was 166 and scan photo of my little one is attached...or at least I am going to attempt to attach it.

Awww...total scan envy, LilMamma! LOL. OMG- I'll bet your baby may have probs coming out- but I had same issue and after 29hrs of induced labor, I had a c-section also. My DH is only 6'. Again, OMG...you also lost your last one about this same time frame, but thank heavens all looks well now. And that pic- looks so like a baby!

I finally saw my preferred dr today!! I got the regular interview and examination and will go back for my scan on Nov 30th. Her physical manipulation/examination of my uterus said to her that my baby was "small", but such was the case with my DD until her last tri and the ultrasounds always had her as "dead on".

So's..the wait goes on. But I tell you- I'm sure I feel little bubbles moving around, so whoever is in there- they sure are swimmingly happy person..

 

[sadie]

Such great news all around! great stuff, lilmama and starsign!

Sunshine, damn how I crave chocolate every single day, too! I just finished some snickers ice xream and had peanut m&ms for breakfast, followed by a yogurt! Candy first!

I just told my ex SIL (exhusbands sis) about being pregnant. She and I are still very very close, she is like a big sis to me. Since OH lives in Italt, her most recent question, written all alone in an email was 'are you really giving up everything and moving there?'. I wrot e her a happy respnse, how i love italy and my oh, and i'm done with my job here, and will be back often with baby. She then wrote a loving so excited for me email. So strange. Its like what am I really giving up? On the contrary, I will be gaining so much.

Anyway, a colleague today askd me if i am pregnant. At first I said no because someone else was in the room, but after the otehr girl left, i fessed up! She had her son when she was 37....

I think i am definitely changing doctors. The new one accepts my insurance and he has even been featured on good morning america and works at the ivy league school here, as well. So, so far so good.

Happy monday.

Lilmama, any chance that little nubby thing is a penis!
I know its early but it looks like it could be one! then they talk about the heartbeat and yours seems high, so its in the girl zone, if i am right??
Sunshine, i saw that cabbage thread somewhere. Can u share the trick with us all here??

 

[deafgal]

I'm guessing my due date based on my LMP is June 18,2012 but I'll know for sure when I see a doctor

 

[lilmamatoW]

SS--is your preferred provider affiliated with Northwestern and will you deliver at Prentice? Wouldn't it be so funny if we wound up at the same hospital at the same time in June? I mean, with my having to be there for four days, it is altogether possible. Hope all goes well with your scan...and you will finally be able to get your picture!

Sadie--don't know whether we can tell yet whether it's a boy or girl from the picture...but my acupuncturist seems to think that from feeling my pulse on the left and right that my right side is "stronger" and that the right side has a stronger correlation to "male," so his prediction is that it is a boy. We'll see...will be totally thrilled with "healthy."

Welcome deafgal! Glad you're here!

LilMamma- you've hit the nail on the head! I was totally being seen by drs. in the OB-GYN practice NMFF at Northwestern, but the dr. I had before got an awesome opportunity at UChicago (with no access to Prentice ), and my other fav is at a practice that no longer delivers So, I'm with another dr. who had access/delivers at Prentice. I miss NMFF though, I'd have 2 scans by now!! But, I'm hanging onto my gut feeling that she's the best dr. to deliver this next precious cargo. She told me that we'll schedule the C-section for the 39th week time frame- but we won't set the date until after the scan.

It'd be HILARIOUS but too cute to meet in the maternity ward... We'll see what date we come back with
