we got our tempurpedic!
sooo happy! its a bit firmer than i expected/am use to so we might get a super soft and squishy memory foam mattress topper with a waterproof cover (for baby) to go on top of it.

getting sharp pains and cramps that feel like stretching but they feel different from AF or anything like that and of course no spotting or bleeding
so im not worried at all i just think my uterus is growing to accommodate for baby getting bigger!
 
shells, I can't wait to find out the genders! I was tempted to wait when I thought it was only 1 but my hubby really wanted to find out, now that it is twins I really can't wait any longer than I have to. It will be a great surprise and I plan on having a gender reveal party with a small group of family and friends.
 
bridget, I had some sharp pains on my left side, near my hip, last weekend. I think it was my uterus stretching out because now I have a tiny little bump. I haven't had anymore pain since the weekend or I would have called my OB. Hope you feel better soon.
 
also i have my second prenatal appointment tomorrow with a new CNM (i didnt like the one that was randomly selected for me when i scheduled my first appointment) unfortunately OH is unable to make it due to work (he would rather have saturday off to watch me skydive which i agree with im nervous and want him to be there haha) so my mom is going with me
 
Had my first midwife appointment. She was so wonderful, I loved her! But there's multiple midwives at the practice so I will meet a different one in a few weeks so I can hopefully at least know names since I don't know who will deliver. She was very thorough and sweet. Didn't try to hear HB with the Doppler which was a bummer but I get it. No need to worry me in case it wasn't able to be heard yet. :) My next appointment with them is Aug 7 and I have to call tomorrow to the perinatal department to set up my 12 week scan.

Feeling exhausted now. I want a nap but toddler says otherwise! I only slept about 6 broken hours last night so I am whipped! LOL
 
cckarting, thats the exact reason I need to know , i won't entertain thoughts of this one being a girl i need to know for sure after four boys with the last one I didnt let myself hope and then I only needed a short 3 min cry afterwards on the way home in the car and was ok after that made my mind up to be happy with my little boy. I know i wouldn't deal with it well at all if i found out at the end and had allowed my thoughts to escape me during the pregnancy and hope and dream of a girl and imediately had to deal with all the " oh a girl would of been nice," " are you gonna try again for a girl" comments and such like
 
Your scans will be here before you know it! Don't rush this time along because I promise you it goes so fast.
For me it is already flying by! When I scheduled my scan I had 4 weeks until it now I only have one more week from today! I must be so busy that I haven't had time to think about it. :)
7 weeks today! Yay!
 
hope you can get a break Swan,

I am going to head to bed soon myself as totally shattered after a late night last night too. even after a nap this afternoon, ( MIL and SIL being here has some perks )

SurpriseBub- I feel a lot better this week too! I started taking my vitamin cocktail at night instead of morning, and I'm thinking that helped. I just saw the heartbeat yesterday so I know my baby is fine even though I feel decent. Try not to worry. The way I think of it is this: I don't want to get to the end of my pregnancy and feel like I didn't enjoy it at all, just worried the whole time. So I'm trying to think of how I'll feel at the end... I want to say I had a lovely pregnancy and felt optimistic most of the time.

Thanks, Megamegan... Man, this whole pregnancy thing is such an emotional roller coaster. I guess I have no cause to think anything is wrong- no cramps, no bleeding... So I just need to wait and hope for the best. It is sad when feeling good, makes me feel bad! You are right- I want to look back on this as a happy time. I think I need to see that 12 week scan, and then I will start to relax a little. Come on, little bub- continue to grow and do mama proud!!
 
Lynnikins. I took it really hard and my dh didn't think I would be able to bond with ds3. I am not even thinking about girls names or the chance that it could possibly be a girl! I have a feeling that this one is a boy so I'm not even entertaining the idea of a daughter, that way if I get a surprise great, if not I've gone 9months thinking it was a boy anyway
 
i cant wait to find out the gender!
i go back and forth between boy and girl
some people think its going to be a boy others think it will be a girl
some old wives tails point towards boy and an equal amount point towards girl
at first really wanted a boy and thought it would be a girl
then i thought it would be a boy
now i kind of really want it to be a girl
either way we would be delighted
just want him/her to be a healthy
but still cant wait to find out
we schedule the ultrasound at my appointment on august 14th
 
Aww i can't wait either Bridget! With my son all wives tales, Chinese gender calendar, and my gut feeling said girl! But everything was wrong! Lol!!!! This time gender calendar says boy and my gut says boy.
I'd be very happy with either, but since i have difficult and complicated pregnancies this may be our last. It would be a lot easier for me to be at peace with that if this baby is a girl.
 
Just wanted to say hi to everyone! Glad for all of the good news here lately on the thread! So excited!

As for me, I'm doing pretty good. Still feeling a little nervous but ok. I am having appointments with my hematologist every other Monday.

This Monday my bloods came back as already anemic. Exactly the same as with my son. I have a blood disorder where i become severely anemic in pregnancy, but iron doesn't help because my iron stores are good. It has to do with my red blood cells not being quite right. With my son i had a transfusion at 22 weeks so I'm assuming it will be the same this time. If i go past 36 weeks (really hopeful i will) then i may need another before the birth.

Other than that, morning sickness is still going strong over here! Hope it passes for all of us soon!

Been keeping up on my phone so I'm sorry i don't reply as much as I'd like! Sending everyone sticky dust and hugs!
 
ttc, does the anaemia make you really tired?? How frustrating - as if pregnancy wasn't tiring enough!!

I want a girl, since I grew up in a house of girls, but I keep calling it a he. So I don't know what's happening in there. :lol:
 
Also the gender preference discussion always reminds me of the hilarious Garfunkel and Oates song, Pregnant Women Are Smug, let me find the link.

Just passed a whole bunch of large clots with a lot of bleeding and scared out of my mind. Have an ultrasound in 3.5 hrs, so just waiting now. Had more blood work done yesterday. Still cramping, so I'm pretty sure I'm out, but will confirm later.
