Due in July 2012

[Bug222]

still waiting to go.. appt is 2:30. its 11 here now... soooo nervous!!!

 

[ktskittle]

So sorry for the delay!
It is indeed a boy as we were told at the nuchal translucency... 100% healthy! He is measuring 10 days ahead though! (I am 19 weeks, but he was measuring closer to 20 weeks 3-5 days! I will probably have a nice big baby at 38 weeks just like my sister! Woohoo! I am all for 2 weeks less waiting!)
Angieloo....I had a weight gain spurt like that too... 8 pounds over the last 5 weeks! (And I HAVE been logging my calories already!) The doctor said it was normal... We will have spurts of growth... (And then when I saw how big he was yesterday, I can see why! He grew 7 weeks worth of growth in those 5 weeks!)

On another note... We bought a crib yesterday! Very exciting!

YAY so happy to hear!!!

Hi everyone,

I am new to this site and this whole pregnancy thing too I am due July 20th, 2012 and i'd love to be part of this group. We found out yesterday at our anatomy scan that the baby is totally healthy (so far so good) and its a GIRL!!!! Hope everyone is doing well and I look forward to sharing experiences and stories with everyone. I do have one question for anyone that would like to respond. With so many warnings about crib bumpers, it seems that everyone is still using them. I do agree the cribs are prettier with them and I know many people use them with no problems. What are your thoughts/ feelings on this? I am not judging anyone that used or will use one. Many of my friends have but I have read in almost all of my printed literature and in parenting magazine etc that they shouldn't be used.

Welcome Flagirl I love this group of girls! You will have a great time here with us! Congrats on your baby girl! I just found out a week and a half ago I am having a girl too AND a totally healthy (so far so good) babe too How has your pregnancy been so far? Crib bumpers....I am glad you brought it up I actually had no idea they were a safety risk, I will def be looking into that!

 

[AngelaSD]

AWESOME!!!!!!! YAYAYAYYA Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!! Almost your turn Bug!

 

[angieloo]

Yeah ktskittle congrats on the healthy baby

Welcome flagirl! I've also heard about the bumpers not being sage- they sell woven ones at target that aren't nearly as cute, but must safe since there are holes in the fabric.

My apt this morning went really well. Happy and healthy baby boy! There is now only a .56 chance of something being wrong at delivery. Heart and organs look great and the baby is a wiggle worm

Here is two of the pics! Her lil profile (such a cute lil nose!) and the other one is a side view of her little tiny leg and foot! SEE IT??!! I didn't get a print out of one of thee BEST ones which was her hand with all her lil fingers spread out DANG it. But thats okay we got about 12 pics printed out I look at them so much

Hi Ladies,

Im back from my baby moon vacation to Mexico....nice and crisp! I fell asleep in the sun and burn my belly....and am so dark my son didn't recognize me at first ahahahaha

Angela I LOVE the pics congrats!! Kittle I just saw you are having a boy!! who hook boys rock...bug222 I can't wait to hear about your scan.....my scan is tomorrow at 11am....I am thinking a boy only because everyone says girl and my belly is shaped the exact same way it was with my son.....I am so excited!

 

[Canada8]

Welcome Flagirl! you will love our group! We all ROCK and are great! July whoot whoot lol

As for the bumpers in the crib, I had them with my first son and never had any issues with him going near the bumpers....I actually have never heard of them being dangerous....not to sure how to answer this except say, I would see how baby sleeps first and if you find that baby likes to snuggle up in the railings, maybe it would not be best to have them or any stuffed animals in the crib.....my son always stayed in the middle of the crib and never near the edges...hope this helps

 

[AngelaSD]

Ang- why do you say "there is a .56 chance of something going wrong at delivery?"

SO happy your appointment went so well today too!! Good day ladies!!!!

Canada-I am SO JEALOUS you went to Mexico on a babymoon GOOD FOR YOU!!! Post some pics Welcome Back!!!

What do you ladies know or have experienced about the way babies are carried....i.e. boys , are they truly carried lower? Girls Higher? I have heard boys carry more in your hips and butt? Can you really tell as the pregnancy progresses if someone is carrying a boy or girl? Does carrying a boy affect your body differently then a girl?

 

[angieloo]

My dr said that there are no markers for a disability or birth defect visible on the ultrasound so that means we havess less than .56 chance of a birth defect or abnormailty

My sister was so sure I was having a boy based on how I was carrying- I've heard lots of people say you can tell

 

[Canada8]

People say I am having a boy because my belly is pointy, baby I low and belly shaped like a basketball.....I will let you know how true that's tomorrow

 

[Bug222]

Scan went well.. phew!! Baby looks good and the tech was fabulous. We stuck to our previous decision and stayed team yellow. Here is baby bug... there is also a few more pics in my journal but this is the best one

 

[Canada8]

Awwwww so sweet!

 

[Canada8]

Ahhhh 3 more hrs! My guess is boy

 

[Flagirl]

Angelasd, angieloo and Canada8. Thanks! Pregnancy good so far. Trying to slow my weight gain down. I was very small (26 inch waist) before and gained a few pounds traveling and eating out but I have gained almost 20lbs already. It seems like i eat an apple and it goes straight to my hips. Lol. So a little worried about that. I just keep reminding myself I can lose all of this and focus on that after she is born I would never want to do anything to hurt her etc...
Yea crib bumpers are apparently not good according to all governmental agencies and the are 2 states already that have banned them being sold in the state. Maryland was one. Can't remember the other though. That was in a Fit Regnancy magazine article I think. Like I said, I have many friends that have used with no problems and I do think they are pretty. I'm looking into the mesh ones that are kindly new and " breathable". Congrats AngelaSD on your girl!!!! Is that what you wanted or did you care? I really just wanted healthy either way because I knew I would love love love either but in a "perfect world" I wanted a girl no clue why. All my life I said io wanted boys then got preg and was thinking I hope its a girl. Ha. I dreamed it was a girl as well when I was about 2.5 months.

Whoever it was that just went on Babymoon to Mex - wow! Super jealous . That's awesome. I want to try to plan one for one within the next month or so. Maybe that will happen.

FYI I was trying to hold out and not find out what. Was having but it was killing me so whoever has the strength to hold out and wait- congrats on that. Super neat exp to find out n the hosp.

 

[AngelaSD]

BUG your babe is sooo cute! What a fantastic picture! The little arm in there and everything! love it! Very happy for you!

Flagirl- I didn't care either way what we were having just as long as I heard teh words "everything looks good" I was a happy Momma! I KNEW though that if we had a boy we had to keep trying for a girl because I have THEE best relatioship with my Mother and I could not picture myself going through life without having that same bond that her and I have. Girls just have SUCH different reltsionships with their Mothers...and Fathers, we are just more intouch with people/family and are so much more emotional there is NOTHING like a relstioship with a daughter for either parent. When we found out it was girl I looked at my husband bursting into tears because right away I though "WOW this little girl is SO lucky to have this man, my husband, as her Dad. My Dad died when I was 9 and it has forever changed my life. I grew up without a Father and she will NEVER have to, and she will have THEE best Dad you could ask for and that makes me feel so at peace....I wish I would have had that....

I can't believe Baby Bumpers are BANNED in some states! THAT SURE Tells you just how dangerous they truly are! Nice to keep each other informed!!

Do you all post pics on the bump thread every week??

CANADA!!! You must be at the DOCTOR RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!! Can't wait to hear!

That was a very sweet comment about your OH Angela he will be amazing...I don't even know him, but can feel it!
