Due In May :)

[cgav1424]

Hi ladies!

Fun and exciting... everyone's getting great scans or will have them next week! And so many people getting ready to announce! Almost to the second tri, woo-hoo!

Hann and Robinson - I have my NT scan on Wednesday. You know me, always crapping the scans! We might have to change the appointment though as hubs can't make it that day and he wants to be there... and I want him there, of course! Terrified they'll find something wrong and I need him there to hold my hand...

I haven't caught up properly yet, but just wanted to drop in to say hello and I hope everyone is having a lovely weekend!

I totally agree with you pink. I can't believe I'm already 10 weeks....feels like the other day I was 4 weeks. It is going fast! Trying to enjoy it all congrats on 12 weeks!

Congrats on 12 weeks!! I'm almost there with you! Eeekk!! We're slowly making our way to the second trimester.

I decided not to use my spray, the active ingredient in it is Category C .

So now everyone here has a cold, I have a fresh new cold and two of the kids are coughing, DH has a cold and now my oldest boy has a runny nose.

Does it ever end? lol

I hate the whole gestation way where it adds on two weeks so your not in second trimester till 14 weeks because i'm not having my baby in 42 weeks now I gotta wait two weeks to move over on the forum haha

 

[mathgenius33]

Who else is excited to be starting the second trimester? I've started week 13 today and have decided to go public with family and people I see often. I mean they'll start noticing in a few weeks anyway, right, so why not go with it now? At least that's my philosophy.

 

[Starry Night]

I'm so jealous of those already in double digits! And this talk of second trimester has me seeing green (though that could be the m/s talking). With my due date being pushed back I feel like I've been pregnant FOREVER!! I've got over a month before I can even think Second Tri. And even then I feel cautious because I lost my first baby at 12+3 weeks. I'm approaching the milestone for my second loss right about now so it's bit of a nerve-wracking weekend for me.

I almost blacked out today. I don't know what happened but suddenly my world went fuzzy and dark. My mom faints a lot so I knew what to do. I made sure to lie down right away until everything calmed down. But I've been feeling lousy ever since. I napped for over 2 hours this afternoon and could not force myself out of bed. Orange juice and other surgary things are helping but not much.

I feel so useless today.

 

[pinktiara]

I have already told my family and close friends this is my second so i'm already showing wont be telling the facebook world till I have my 20 week ultrasound and know the gender if i can hold out that long haha

 

[Starry Night]

I showed my mom my "bump" over Skype yesterday and she along with my sister and SiL thought it was rather impressive for only 8 weeks. lol

The only people I haven't told yet is Facebook world and most of the people on my friends list already know. I am such a blabber mouth! ha ha

 

[BellaRosa8302]

Turned 12 weeks last Tuesday - so I feel comfy telling people now. Just told my principal on Friday, the rest of the school will know on Monday (I'm a teacher), and I'm thinking I'm going to tell Facebook world around week 14, but I'm not 100% sure yet.

 

[Sass827]

I hope you feel better star!

 

[Hann12]

Jary and Stevensmummy how did your announcements go? Hope they were perfect!

Cgav - that's annoying about the scan, I hope you get it rebooked for a one he can do but still this week. I'm nervous too but also mega excited!

Pro - how are you feeling now?

Starry - wrote on the other thread but eat regularly to maintain blood sugar and take iron supplements, will hopefully help!

Afm - no ms this morning! Not getting my hopes up but thinking that as I was measuring 4 days ahead in my last scan I am almost 12 weeks going by that date so could be ms diminishing. I hope so!!
Looking forward to a nice chilled day, taking my DD for a walk in the woods then cooking a nice big roast dinner later, perfect Sunday!

 

[Jary]

I had a fab time last night, when everyone was there I just shouted 'everybody, we have something to say.....we're having a baby!' Everyone was overjoyed and they all sound really excited. One friend who loves to wind us up kept trying to convince me to name the baby after him lol. And as the night went on we got lots of drunken comments like 'I love you two, you'll be fab parents, your such lovely people, well done so excited for you!' Etc so it was great that everyone took it so well.

What was a miracle was our quiet friend Carl, who has never really had confidence enough to dance or talk to women was dancing away and giving it his all. Was probably the huge Mexican hat that helped but he had fun some nice ladies loved his hat too. It won't mean anything to you guys but to us it really was something special! Hehe but I imagine he's feeling a bit worse for wear this morning!

Only thing that annoyed me was that we met this couple dressed as Mexicans and one of our friends invited them along. The girl was nice but she knicked my drink because she found the tequila too strong and then when I got it back off her she had put tequila in it! She had been told I was pregnant, so OH bought me another drink. And then, we all gathered for a group photo and her and her partner were in it...and she was stood right in front of me so I had little room to look at the camera. It was meant to be a group shot of friends. I might sound a bit mean but it really p***** me off!

Sorry for the long essay/rant! Overall it was a lovely night and I didn't start feeling sick till the end! So that's a plus!

 

[Sass827]

I'm sorry Jary. We look forward to these moments so much. I don't think people get it until they've lived it. Just hold on to the memory of Carl getting down in his sombrero so you can smile.

 

[Jary]

Oh I'm not letting some stranger get to me. I still loved last night and so pleased that everyone is so supportive and excited for us some of them have kids of their own so they understand it all.

Yes Carl in his sombrero was pure entertainment! We are lucky to have such a fab bunch of friends.

On a down note, was looking forward to going shopping with the OH and we started off and then I started feeling sick. Luckily there's a McDonalds in asda so I've just munched on one. Not what I had in mind for a Sunday dinner but its helped. Just feel useless as OH has had to finish the shopping.

Ahh I'm rambling again. Hope everyone is feeling good today. Hann I'm pleased for you that your ms is ok today!! FX'd this is the end of the rubbishness of pregnancy for you!

 

[Stevensmummyx]

My announcements went brilliantly (except FIL who didn't seem that interested tbh but tbh I don't care everyone else is happy) MIL squeled over skype, my gran screamed and was jumping up and down! Was fantastic!! No one got the skeleton t-shirt tho lol! Xx

 

[Jary]

How could they not get that tshirt! It's awesome! Lmao

 

[Stevensmummyx]

No idea jary, I went to my mums and said who likes my new t-shirt and they all kinda stared for a while and my brother went 'that's shit' so I ended up saying well look this might give it away and handed over the scan pics lol! And it made sense after that lol! Xx

 

[Jary]

Oh well it's good that they are excited about your pregnancy I'm looking forward to being able to share my scan pics soon!

 

[Hann12]

Great stories from last night! Makes me excited to tell people too!

Jary - feeling sick again so it didn't last long!
