Babies due in JUNE!

Hi Ellie-

Although a big generic, the Amazon guide is a good basic checklist with explanations:

My registry isn't one really for the 1st-time Mom, but I'm adding items which "I wished I'd had/used this with my 1st" or items that have improved since her baby days. Just a few things so far, but you're welcome to view.

Starsign, thanks for the link! I love that rubbery seat thing. My friend used them and loved them.

Ellie, my list is going to be very very small as i dont know what we will do about shipping lots of baby stuff to Italy, so I am going to keep it simple atm. As soon as I register, I will share!

i can guess now that my spoiled rotten dog is going to be a big PITA when baby comes along. i am trying to teach her some new and improved behaviors and its definitely taking some time.

As for sleeping, i am so sick of not having a good night of sleep. I am one of those that needs 8 hours and i am really suffering here with waking 2/3 times a night. And yes, 5 am wake up time is the hardest to fall back asleep after. Today, I came straight home from work and napped for just under 2 hours! I was so tired by the time my last class came in and luckily they had their projects to work on so I didnt have to be all over the room. Child care leave, here I come and it cant come soon enough.
 
Thanks Sadie (see, told you I wouldnt sleep! Its midnight and Im still wide awake!)

Congratulations on being a mango!!!!
 
I just typed an entire post and it disappeared.

Anyway, sunshine, try counting sheep! Tomorrow is an exciting visit! Dnt be nervous! Your numbers were great and you have little babes to look forward to seeing! So exciting. Mine is next tuesday...

On another ntoe, I just ordered some bathing suits in a size larger than what i normally take....

2 i chose in tankini style and the third in a bikini. The other two models are crystal (inblack, and as the bikini) and then de coral in a tankini, as well as the creation style.... They will arrive just in time for florida in february. I am trying to avoid the maternity style suits!! We shall see if i can pull it off.

Anyone ever hear of fibroids disolving? My colleague had one dissolve and it caused her some pain, but she no longer has it. Part of me think that although I went thru a stretching and pulling ohase early this week, that my belly doesnt seem to have really grown lately. In fact, it almost seems a little bit smaller. Of course, nervous me had to use the doppler today (and every other day).

Ok time to walk dog, who i(did i write this already or was it in my post that got deleted) is going to be a big PITA once baby comes. She has bad manners and thinks it is all about her. Changing her ways is not easy.

Well, when we get back in, i am having me some ice cream! Yum.
 
Ah, andin my deleted post I also mentioned how great you look as a cantaloupe!
 
Sunshine! Tomorrow will be SO exciting. You'll get to see your little nugget!

I can't wait to read about it!
 
Hey ladies....hope you don't mind me popping in. It has a been awhile since I have been on here. I am 18 weeks. Find out the gender Tuesday. I am hoping for a girl. Hope everyone is doing good. I am just sitting here sneezing my head off and my nose is like a water faucet that won't shut off. Driving me nuts! Last night I was so stuffed up couldnt breath, so go figure. Lol. My belly is getting hard and harder for me to bend over to do things now. Can't imagine what it is going to be like in 3rd trimester. Wish it was June!!!
 
Hi Destin!
Are you sick? Did you catch the flu? Cold?
Just wondering because I have pregnancy rhinitis. Got it in my last pregnancy. The only thing that helps is sleeping with your head elevated (I'm practically upright). When your heart and head are at the same level (i.e. when you're laying down), the membranes in your nose swell and it can be pretty uncomfortable.

Let us know the results of your scan! Hope you get your doubleX!
 
I have some devastating news. I had my 20 week scan today and the results were not good. The baby has spina bifida with severe abnomality of the lower spine. The baby would certainly not be able to ever walk but more concerning, the problems with the spine have also caused problems with the transfer of fluid to and from the brain and the baby could end up with brain damage as well. We will likely be having a termination next week. I feel totally numb.
 
Quisty, gosh.

There are no words. I am so sorry.

Thank you...I don't know if I am coming down with cold or not. I have had stuffy nose for past month that I chalked up to pregnancy...but this is horrible. Cant breathe...., but then it was hard breathing at night with the stuffiness also. I don't know which is worse. I already have to sleep practically sitting up due to heartburn/acid reflux.

So sorry Hun...I cant imagine. thoughts and prayers are with you.
 
Quisty - I just wanted to say how sorry I am at your devastating news. I am thinking of you and your family at this difficult time.
 
I am sorry Quisty :(

I had anatomy scan done on Wednesday at 18 weeks, but they couldn't get her to turn around to see her spine so I have to go back. So we don't know how she is developing yet.
 
Quisty - I'm so sorry to hear such devastating news! My thoughts are with you and your family. *HUGS*
 
Quisty, thank you for updating us. So, so, so sorry for you guys having to go through this. Take time to heal :hugs:
