December 2012 buns

[LoloShells]

I honestly don't know how women find the time! Id rather just pull a jar out of the cabinet, lol.

 

[sadie]

Artsie, look further. It seems that didnt get such great reviews. Maybe u can order it from amazon uk. I swear it is the greatest and easiest thing ever!

 

[Katy78]

News from the morphology scan. Everything is normal . All the organs were there, measurements were within normal range, the baby was moving, the heart was beating. My GYN couldn't see the heart well so we had to take a walk and come back to look again. Baby A was good and moved so she could see everything she needed.
But baby A decided to shock us. She grew another organ. Yeah, she decided she didn't want to be a girl and now she's a boy . It was quite a shock because we were thinking of our baby as a girl. And there was a problem with choosing a name for a boy, again. We couldn't think of any names in more than two years since starting to TTC but we decided on one during our short walk waiting for the second US. Baby A remains baby A but is now Adrijan (unless we think of a better one).

Next dr's appointment on 17 December. More than 5 whole weeks away... I'll have to go through the glucose test too. I'll survive .

Oh my Katy! What a surprise! and so interesting that you could think of a name on the spot! Congratulations!

 

[artsiekat]

Katy - That's quite some super organ growing baby A has been doing! Congrats on the little boy! Bet that was quite a surprise! I really like that name, too.

 

[sadie]

Yay Katy! Another for team blue! I think the name is beautiful! Any specific accents on vowels? I want to pronounce it correctly!

Artsie/City. O (3 times now) hasbeen 'caught' crying/ whimpering in her sleep. It is o sad to see thatit brings tears to my eyes. Does it have anything to do with teething? When did G get her first tooth? Artsie, anything going on in there?

 

[ashleywalton]

Oh my goodness Katy! Wow! Congrats on being team now!

 

[Coconuts]

Heartbreak city Trina! That's so sad, must be horrible. Poor little mite. I remember Bunda saying she felt like she could feel D crying in utero too. Big sobbing movements. Poor little tots. Do you think they have bad dreams?

Katy, wowee, Baby A is team blue!!!!!!! Shock tastic. I think the thought of a son is just as dreamy as a daughter. I was sure we were team blue (although no one had actually told me) so when they said pink at 16weeks it took about a day to readjust my mindset then I was away with the fairies again.
Woot for a little boy. I'm imagining it's like the English Adrian, or at least that's how I'm pronouncing it. Can we have some guidance?

For the record G is Gaia (Gai is like sky and the final a is more of an uh.) Trina would know that already of course

I hit 26 weeks and 6 months today!!! Since I did 13 weeks in first tri and I've now done 13 in second I've decided to start third tri now along with month 7th. Why not. What's the dif.

To celebrate I thought I'd snap a nudey rudey naked bump shot Homer Simpson style.

 

[LoloShells]

Holy crap Katy! Now that's some big news! So we have 3 boys and 2 girls on the way right? Oh man I'd be heartbroken if my boy turned out to be a girl later.... What a dirty trick!

Adorable as ever Coco

I told you I was skeptical of early gender reveals LOL--Welcome to team and Lolo is right with the bump scale now tipped to 3 boys and 2 girls! So glad to hear that everything is measuring well and babe is doing great.

As for me--got to see my little chunky boy today--he has hair, finger nails, fat rolls, Confirmed again he still has boy parts--I say he is ready and would welcome him to come ANY TIME!! But I guess I just have to be a bit more patient as he seems nice and cozy in there. Next appointment is on Monday for my non stress test and I'm hoping they do an internal check as well--It would be encouraging to know if anything is happening down there!!

 

[citymouse]

Oh my goodness, Katy! Congratulations on your healthy baby BOY!

Sadie, G doesn't have any teeth yet. She occasionally cries in her sleep, but usually it's like a 2-8 second outburst and she's still asleep when I go to check on her. EXCEPT - for the past two nights she's been waking up and crying (which she has never done, because once I bring her into the bed with us around midnight, she's usually super happy and just reaches for food when she wants it). I took her to the doctor yesterday since we were flying today and I wanted to rule out an ear infection, and he said it's just teething. He recommended Tylenol.

I know they can also get night terrors when they're little, poor things.

 

[LoloShells]

Kylee suffered night terrors til she was 3. Horrible.

 

[Coconuts]

Nooooooo, poor little creatures!!! Night terrors!!!! That's horrible. You just want them to dream of candy canes and puppies and cuddles and full tummies.
What is terrifying to a baby? Abandonment? hunger? It's horrible to think about their private torments. Luckily a warm cuddle in mum / dad's loving arms is enough to make the poor things feel better.

 

[B&LsMom]

Probably re-living the birthing process--can't imagine anything more traumatic they would have gone thru--Nice warm water bath in peaceful quiet dim uterus--water drains--walls close in--you get STUCK--then you come out and its bright and cold and sooooo many strange people---terrifying I'm SURE!!

 

[Coconuts]

Hahahahah that's pretty much it BMom. Poor things. no wonder babies cry upon delivery!

 

[Katy78]

Thanks girls . I must say it was quite a surprise. We were sure it really was a girl. My dr asked us if we wanted to know the gender at the beginning of the scan and the shock of it kept me from being too scared about any possible abnormalities further into the examination .
I always wanted a girl but after two years TTC I didn't care anymore. Now I got used to the idea of a girl and I got to love her, too. I'm not disappointed or anything and I do love this boy but I have to get used to the idea.

And here's my 20 week bump .

Katy, it will settle in... you'll be madly in love with your baby from the moment he's born! And you're right, after two years ttc, pink or blue is a miracle!

Cute bump!

 

[sadie]

Thanks city. It really breaks my heart!

Very funny coco, regarding the puppies and cuddles comment. It's so true.
Your bump is just perfect! It looks great on you!

Katy, you look fabulous! Halfway there!

Bmom, ugh! I hope that isnt what she is dreaming about! Thats a true nightmare!

I do soothe her right away and she stops, but it is just so sad to see.

City, have a good trip, wherever you are going!!

I cant wait for florida in less than 3 months! The countdown has begun. We miss our NY family (sisters will be going there with the family in february, too)

 

[Coconuts]

Look at that cute little bump Katy!!!! Where are you hiding him, you must have some amazing stomach muscles. Looking great Katy and half way too! Where is all this time going. DH said WOW when I said it was the lovely lady who we sent the magic OPKs too.

 

[ebelle]

OMG Katy, where are you hiding the baby???? That is such a cute and neat bump! You definitely have abs of steel. I feel like a whale in comparison. No wonder my family keeps asking if I am having twins.

I heard its common for babies to have night terrors. One way to soothe them is to let them sleep with lullaby music or a clock that is loud enough to be heard (simulates mommy's heartbeat)

I am going to post my woefully huge bump picture. Isn't it awful????? Why is my bump so huge compared to everyone else?????
