Runner girl, haha. We are not usually over there that much in the winter, but in the summer/fall we are. Lots of BBQ's and bags tournaments in the yard. We are about 25 minutes away and my brother and sister live very close to my parents so does my best friend who has a son the same age as my nephew so it is easier for all of us to go there and they have a huge yard the boys can play in and go swimming etc. and during football season they have a lot of football parties and stuff. I know once baby is born I will be spending a lot of time over there! My mom was a stay at home mom with us so she is home unless she is playing bunco with her girlfriends or shopping....so she will be my "I need a nap watch the baby" go to person while on maternity leave! Hahahaha

Oh wow, congrats Juhnayrae! What an exciting time!
_____________________________________________________
Oh we were moer than lucky to see the baby on Wednesday. What a surprise! Not only that, but that ultrasound machine was way way way clearer than the one used this morning. Poor OH was a little bit disappointed because he was hoping for some great photos. Hehe. We'll probably set up a private appointment and have a nice 3D one day with DVD and all in a few weeks so I'm not too bothered.
I had my official 12week ultrasound this morning. Baby was moving all over the place and playing peekaboo with the sonographer. Now, SMGP I think it was who asked? Let me tell you, I saw it with my own eyes that baby jumped when the sonographer pushed a lil bit more to get baby to move (she needed baby to reposition) so I definitely think that that is entirely possible! Also, I felt the lil flutter while baby turned all the way around so I do think the tiny tickles I have been feeling here and there this week are related. I know people say you cannot feel baby until 16 or so weeks, but I am pretty convinced that I can at least feel the fluid moving about. The sonographer explained lots to us so that we knew what we were looking at. Bladder was working well she said. Also, we saw baby 'drinking' and scratching which was darn adorable. Everything looked good: neck, spine, extremities, etc. We got to hear the heartbeat for the first time as well so that was really nice
Everything was great. They've decided that baby is measuring a few days ahead so at the moment my new date would be August 19th but I expect that will change again.If I could, I would buy my own ultrasound machine and watch baby all day long.
i due august 4th. im 15 wks today yaywe are havin a lil boy
Nela - Oh wow, makes you 1 day after me. My baby measured at 6.2cm at 12 weeks and 4 days old, on your scan was that the babies size for 12 weeks 3 days? If so I would say you are probably due even a day earlier, bu then I am no doctor
runnergrl - Oh I just LOVE LOVE that little hand and wee wee fingers, your scan is so so clear! And to think them are the wee fingers you will be kissing
(amazing)SMGP - I really like the idea of your pram, space is everything in a car when you have a lille one and all accesories. I have 2 sets, which are pretty much the same set but different chassis. So I have a carseat and OH has a car seat in his car type thing, so it works out well. Heres the Xcel chasis set I have but just in a different fabric though

and then here is the MPX chasis
https://www.mamasandpapas.com/produ...s-pv-car-seat-heritage-spot/2595d7600/type-i/
Basically one has swivel wheels for like shopping centers etc and then the other one is more for like long walks in parks etc having bigger softer wheels. (we tend to do a lot of out door walking as we have 2 spaniel dogs)
But I do like the one you have SMGP. As mine are all pretty large and take up the entire boot of the car
momof5wants1 - CONGRATULATIONS, that's pretty awesome that they told you so early, here, hell could freeze over and they still wouldn't, not even just to humor you. (Unless you go private you may have a chance) I am so happy for you, now you can start thinking of names

The doctor I have for this one delivered my 3 1/2 yr old and knows how much we were hoping for a boy. Kinda bummed it's another girl but only since it's my last one. But we are happy she's healthy.

Haha. I will probably be doing the napping at their house at least while I am on maternity leave anyways. I am probably going to take the full 12weeks off so I will have to leave when baby is like 4months old. : (. I am thinking between friends and fam we will not have to do daycare...
Are you stay at home mom then? Or did you mean 7months overnight?

I stayed at home with my son for 19 months. I picked up a nanny gig so I watched someone else's children with mine and it worked out beautifully. He was ready to go to school though when we moved and I was ready to get back to work too. Its worked well so far. Not sure what our plan is for when #2 gets here.. the cost of two in childcare is astronomical...

Had our monthy appointment today and heard baby's heartbeat! It was a strong 160bpm it was like music! The doppler my doctor used kept picking up baby's kicks too. So sweet! Apprently we have quite the wiggler, he lost the baby a few times and had to chase him/her around hehe.
I feel so blessed that everything is going so well so far! It was especially fun after having a migraine for the last two days...yikes.
Unfortunately I still have to wait 8 more weeks to get an ultrasound! I was trying to negotiate with my doctor, but he didn't seem too interested haha.

I know it! I don't even want it necessarily to find out the gender, I just want to see how big our baby has grown! The last scan we got was at 9 weeks and they said our next one would be at 20 weeks! That's like 3 months of growth I feel like I'm missing! Oh well, it'll be here before we know it

Wahoooo for 13 weeks!!
Ladies, have you thought about contacting a local ultrasound schoolmtomsee if they need patients to practice on? I would never have thought about it until my friend asked me if I wanted to be her patient. I know dental schools and cosmetology schools do that too, so I would assume ultrasound schools would as well!
