EDD:01/03/2013-Anybody else?

[korink26]

Everybody moving and renovating in this group! I don't think I'd have the energy to tackle it...
Well for those that aren't feeling movement, in the next 2-4 weeks we should be!!! I can't wait!!!!!!!! Sometimes when I go to bed I just lay still and press on my belly a little and I swear I feel what I would describe as bubbles? But It could just be me pushing my fluid in my belly around or something and it really is only that, BUBBLES.
Ok, so how close is everybody to scans, Jaime I think you're 2 weeks and somebody was August 1st? Mine is Monday (is anybody else getting a 16 week scan?)
I haven't needed to snack as much between meals, which I hope is normal? I worry when any symptom leaves...

 

[felicity0444]

My next scan is August 7th. I'll be 18 1/2 weeks or so, so we should be able to find out gender!

 

[jrowenj]

Kelsey, finding out gender mon????

 

[korink26]

No, we're staying team yellow!

 

[felicity0444]

No, we're staying team yellow!

What do you think it is? Do you have a feeling yet?

 

[korink26]

Well I've always felt I'd have boys, but then when I first got PG everybody was saying girl, and the chinese predictor chart said girl, and I did the ring test and it said girl. now, the ring test says boy and girl so idk!? I honestly just don't have a clue---but I catch myself saying "her/she" a lot when talking about the baby. But yet I think it's a boy?! Idk...
I think we need to get everybody's guesses before you guys go in for your gender scans!!
Bri--what do you think you're having?

 

[felicity0444]

I normally have a dream of which it is, and so far for the two i have anyways, it's been right. This time i haven't had a dream, so no help there. I am feeling girl, but i would be happy with either

 

[felicity0444]

Big scare Thursday night. Started bleeding heavily.... was up all night freaking out. Thought for sure I was losing the baby. Went to the doc Friday morning for an emergency ultrasound and baby (so far) is doing just fine! Turns out its placenta previa and the blood is coming from me not the baby! Doc put me on bed rest this weekend (which totally sux) but should help. I might bleed off and on the whole pregnancy and if the placenta doesn't move I'll have to have a c section. No lifting, sex, exercise, prolonged standing or walking. But honestly as long as the baby is OK I'm good. except for being dizzy and weak lol. Want the good news? See next post......

 

[felicity0444]

Still early, but doc says it looks like a boy! Can't upload the pic from my phone. Will do on computer the next time I'm allowed to get up!

 

[Mrs Miggins]

Yay for a boy! So sorry about the scare but pleased baby is doing fine.

 

[jrowenj]

omg, bri. I am so happy that everything is OK!!!!!! And, yeaaaa for Boy! I can't wait to see a pic!

 

[felicity0444]

Here's the pic. Looks like i'm team blue!!

 

[jrowenj]

Congrats!!!

 

[Mrs Miggins]

Ah, congrats! Love the way it's labelled boy parts!

 

[korink26]

Omg Bri---whata scare!!!!!!!! So glad everything is fine, and woohoo for the boy parts My scan's in 1 hour and it's killing me that I could possibly find out what we're having at this appt. I'm also so nervous, I feel myself getting excited but then I talk myself back down and tell myself to prepare for the worst. Wish I could just be excited without worrying or thinking negative.
Ugg, went maternity clothes shopping this weekend, and that was not as successful as I had hoped (I looked like a chunk in everything---guess I'm still more blump than bump). I need bigger clothes asap, and this belly band won't work for much longer!

 

[duckytwins]

Hi girls, I'm sorry I haven't been around much. My sister passed away and I've been in a nightmare the last week. I hope things will start to settle down soon and I can come back full time...

 

[jrowenj]

Omg, jes. I'm so sorry to hear that. Was it sudden?? I can't imagine your devastation. Xoxoxoxoxox

Kelsey good luck at ur scan

 

[duckytwins]

Yes, it was very sudden. She was going with her husband and their son (and a few other family members) to a baseball game in New York and she had a stroke on the train. She was taken to a hospital in the Bronx. The damage just didn't stop and she passed away last Monday. I just can't believe it. She was so young (only 36) and has two kids (7 and 3). She had just finished her Master's Degree and had so much in front of her.

We are devastated and shocked. I still can't believe it's true.

 

[jrowenj]

Jes, that is terrible. My heart goes out to your family and her kids. So so sad

 

[Mrs Miggins]

I've already posted in your journal Ducky but just want to say again how sorry I am. A similar thing happened to my best friend, she lost her sister very suddenly at 36 and it was devastating. Nothing I can say will help, I know that, but you are in my thoughts.
Kelsey, looking forward to hearing about the scan.
