oh and YAY to jaymes!

Hearty Re: the iui pretend mix up, if id had IVF i would be worried about Eloise, its crossed mine mind that she was swapped in hospital cos she was born with black hair and brown eyes, like little black buttons, mine are green and johns are hazel. I thought it was genetically impossible for a baby to have darker eyes than both her parents. She didnt leave my sight though, anything can happen apparently. She looks like John and shes defo mine cos she came out of me. Im perplexed by that

Jaymes - lovely news!!! all those good vibes paid off, s/he mustve been giving off signals through your eyes

Hoping, ahh eloise is my little buddy too, shes my new best friend.

Hi Yogi B and cesca!

Rounders: hope they arent working you too hard.

 

[NatoPMT]

ps Cesca, like your 'ask me' bit on your sig

the best i could do would be 'stop me and buy one'

Okay, still haven't caught up. But have a question...anyone with SPD experience....

I've been noticing lately when I'm on my feet for more than 30 minutes or so (ie: grocery shopping), I get really achy and feel pressure down low. My hips, lower back and pelvis get really sore. If I rest, the pain goes away. I noticed it last weekend and thought it was just because we DTD. But last night I went shopping again, and it started to hurt after about 20 minutes or so. I called my OB and he can't squeeze me in till next week. I spoke to the nurse, who spoke to my doctor and neither of them were worried. From what I've been reading, it sounds like it could be SPD. Anyone else have this???

I'm actually debatting whether or not to go up to the Labour and Delivery unit to demand a scan. Hmmm....

 

[LucyJ]

Thanks girls well it was a bit inconclusive she thinks af may arrive in the next few weeks but if it doesnr and Im still getting regular pains to go back and she will refer me for an u/s. Shes not worried about the weight loss, tiredness, and dizzy spells (which is down to low blood pressure) she thinks its all down to BF so I have to make sure Im drinking loads of water and eating plenty she told me to eat chocolate and steak. My irons boaderline but thats normal for me. So I guess it just see how things are over the next few weeks.

Jaymes congrats wonderful news

Round I havent experienced spd sorry.

 

[heart tree]

Jaymes, that's amazing news. I knew it wasn't a molar. Can't wait for the rest of the update.

Lucy, I hope AF just shows up so you don't have to keep wondering what's going on.

Nato, if there are any other family members with brown eyes, then it is a possibility since green and blue eyes are both recessive. I'm quite sure that little one is yours. And I really am not afraid that they gave me the wrong sperm. They were so careful about it. I had to read Tim's name on the sample several times. It's his!

 

[NatoPMT]

Round, no experience either im afraid. Hope you feel better soon

Luce: spinach and grapefruit juice too! but like the idea of a chocolate diet, i could live with that

Hearty, i know you arent really worried, thats why i said pretend mix up - haha at reading the label a squillion times, i so would do that. I dont have a brown eyed gene at all, John hasnt either, he has hazel eyes. If either of us had brown eyed genes, we'd have brown eyes. How the bloody hell has eloise got little back button eyes?

 

[heart tree]

No one on either side of your family has brown eyes? Parents? Grandparents? It seems improbably that she would get those eyes without some link somewhere. Strange.

I'm such a freak. I just posted the potty shot of my baby to the In Gender website to see what other people thought. Now I'm freaking out that maybe "she" is a "he" and we just missed it. I know I'm being irrational, but I needs something to worry about!

because brown eyes are dominant, it doesnt matter if anyone else in my family has brown eyes because i dont have the gene because i dont have brown eyes, brown eyes are the most dominant colour so i have 2 green eyed alleles or 1 green and 1 blue and john has 1 hazel and 1 green/blue or 2 hazel. They are the only possible combinations. If i had 1 green allele and 1 brown, id have brown eyes

if a gene is dominant, if you have it, its shows, Theres no recessive hiding a brown eyed gene if you get me

 

[NatoPMT]

did they see the hamburger lines, as my sonographer so charmingly called them?

dont worry!!! i know, worry about whether your scan high has made the baby a scan addict

 

[heart tree]

I don't see anything sticking out. I think I see hamburger lines! LOL! I'm sure my baby is a scan addict. She spread those legs like a little hussy!

she's a girl, i see it.

she just doesnt give a damn does she.

Nato - Speaking of eye color (I remember when we all were trying to guess our future babies eyes!) - I have Brown eyes and my OH has blue eyes and Indy has blue eyes with no signs of changing - they are pretty light...if brown is dominant he should have had green or brown eyes but apparently eye color is pretty complicated genetics (more than just that simple chart they gave us in 8th grade). I'm happy because with his name being Indigo it fits better that he has blue eyes.

hi bleupers, how you doing?

It is more complicated, there are layers of alleles, but the principles remain the same, the confusions come in with yellow alleles which inputs to green eyes

Indys eyes are easily explained, your brown eyes are heterozygous, you dont have all brown eyed genes but your brown eyes are physically brown as brown is dominant/ Indy could have had brown or blue eyes

some babies eyes change at 2-3 years, anything could happen yet!

if anyone could explain how eloise has brown eyes when mine and johns arent brown, i would be very interested.

 

[heart tree]

Nato, you sound like a geneticist! I'm impressed.

Everyone on In Gender says girl. I know deep down she's a girl now. Ok, now what can I worry about? LOL!

 

[vickyd]

Nato they say that you cant be sure of the eye colour till 8 months. Hero has green/grey eyes now but at birth they were much darker. Another explanation would be that John has been wearing colored contacts since you met him!!!!! hahaha!! I crack myself up sometimes!

Hearty love how youre addicted to worry!!!! you can start worrying whether your little girl will be a bad sleeper, hyper all day, prone to head injury bla bla i could go on and on!!!

Round i suffered from spd. It got really bad at around 20 weeks, i could hardly walk for 10 minutes without being in severe pain. It was mainly on my right side, started at the pelvic area and shot through my whole leg. It even hurt when i was asleep, so as you can imagine i didnt get much sleep. It got better after a few weeks without me doing anything really... I didnt even discuss it with doc to be honest. I was so superstitious that i didnt allow myself to complain about a single thing during the whole pregnancy. I even suffered through really bad MS till about week 17 without asking for anything to ease it. Thats how loony I am!

 

[heart tree]

Ha Ha Vicky, you "crack" yourself up! Is that a reference to all the crack you like to do?

Thanks for all the worry suggestions. I'll have to start making a list.

 

[NatoPMT]

hahaha! at both of you. You idiots.

if her eyes can lighten then that would make sense, i didnt know they could get lighter. I know its unusual for a white baby to be born with brown eyes though

ive got a degree in biology hearty, i studied genetics in my 1st year but dropped it like a hot potato when i realised it was more like maths than biology

 

[vickyd]

crack crack crack
