FEBRUARY HEARTS Due in February 2015 , open group all welcome!

[SurpriseBub]

So sorry, Swan. How sad for all of you. hope she is doing ok.

 

[SurpriseBub]

Very cute, Stef! I am sure that my husband would love for our little one to sit with him like that

 

[MellyH]

Oh swan, I'm so sorry to hear that. What a devastating time for her, and it will be difficult because you will be continuing with yours without her. Do you think she will try again straight away?

 

[Captain]

Thinking of you and your family swan xxx

 

[jmandrews]

So sorry for your sisters loss Swan. I know that pain all so well.

 

[jmandrews]

Felt baby kicking so I put my hand on my belly and could feel him kicking me on the outside! so surprised I could feel him already!

 

[RaspberryK]

Swan that is so sad, I was pregnant at the same time as my best friend, she had her baby in mid august and I would have been due this week. I was still absolutely fine with talking about her pregnancy and really appreciated that she didn't act any different towards me.
Another very good friend, someone who I was best friends with 10 years ago, announced her pregnancy on Facebook and her due date was similar to mine and she having her c section tomorrow.
I'm still finding that one really hard and I think it's somehow related to her announcing during my miscarriage and then having gender disappointment.
Anyway I rambled on a bit there but I hope your sister doesn't find things to difficult. I had a couple of weeks at home crying and doing nothing but recovering which really helped a lot.
Xx

So sorry about your sister Swan. Thinking of her & your family xxx

 

[SurpriseBub]

I keep getting mild cramps all over the lower part of my belly and even in my groin today. Ugh... They are mild, so I don't think anything too bad... But man, I hate it when these worrisome symptoms crop up

 

[Captain]

Bub I've been having the exact same thing all day! Mine are also mild so I'm trying not to worry about it, getting pretty anxious to get home and have our appointment on Friday now. Hoping to get a date for my next ultrasound soon!

 

[swanxxsong]

Thank you ladies you're all so wonderful. I know from experience that mostly time is what she will need. But thankfully my mom is staying with her a few days to help after her d&c (since she has two boys at home). It's an emotional time for us all, and I feel for her as I would never wish that on my worst enemy. But I just keep praying for her healing.

This baby was a surprise and they were not planning on a third child. However I am unsure where they will stand after this. Only time will tell, on that front.

I'm having the same aches under my bump today! And in my groin. Ack! I am sore!

 

[savvysaver]

Swan, I am so sorry to hear about your sister. Praying for her and your family.

Congrats on all those who found out the genders!

I have had the same mild, cramping aches today. My stomach also feels sensitive and full. I had a little bit of CM discharge too. I am a little worried but going to see how I feel tomorrow.

 

[MellyH]

About a week ago I had a day or two of all-over-my-tummy cramps, but it settled down again, I wonder if they were having a growth spurt or something.

 

[Megamegan]

Since I'm up in the middle of the night and was to busy to update yesterday, I thought I would pop in...

We are having a boy!!!

I had a gut feeling and I peeked for a split second during Saturday's ultrasound so I wasn't too surprised, but I am so happy to finally know for sure. We are thinking of naming him Lucas. We have a video from the scan and he looks so beautiful. I'll upload a photo later when I'm not on my phone.

 

[MellyH]

Hooraaaaaaay!!! Congratulations, Megan, a son. Very exciting.

 

[EMYJC]

Swan I am so sorry to hear about your sister. TTC congrats on your son, love the name Jude. Congrats to Izzie on team pink and megamegan on your son, of course I love the name Lucas I came up with Albie for a boy as my grandad was called Albert and I was really close to him but my OH won't have any of it!

 

[Megamegan]

Swan I just went back to read all the pages and wanted to also say I'm very sorry to hear about your sister. DH's best friend's fiancé was pregnant with us and she also lost her baby recently. I hope they all come out of it strong, though.

So on the way to our gender reveal party yesterday (our best friends hosted it), my mom and I had an interesting time!! First we saw this lady walking her dog and trying to shoo her cat into her yard, and it was a dangerous road so my mom got out to help her. I felt happy that we helped save a cat...we are huge animal lovers. So then we were in my friend's neighborhood and we saw a nice looking stroller sitting outside on someone's curb with the sign, "Free, Works Well" Sooo.... I stopped and folded it up and stuck it in my back seat! I wrote them a thank you note and I was SO excited to get a free stroller! It's a Graco, not sure of the model (I'll have to look it up later) but isn't that awesome?! It's in great shape too. Just the normal wear and tear of a few months' use, it looks like. I don't mind that at all as long as the safety features are still in place- I'll just give it a good scrub and then voila!

Then we had our gender reveal party, which was fun, until I went to take some Tylenol for my headache and... instead I took 2 Dramamine (!!!!) ....I couldn't believe myself. So I was fine, the rest of the night I was just drowsy, but it was okay. Then it turned out the blue icing in the middle of the cake had seeped onto the outside of the cake, so you could totally see the blue before we cut the cake! So I have to call and complain about that. Then we went to Babies R Us to buy baby's first onesies, and my MIL bought us the Graco 4Ever All-in-One convertible carseat! I'm so excited, I really wanted that one. And now we are well on our way to having lots of necessities for baby. So it was a successful day!

 

[MellyH]

Definitely a successful day. Bummer about the icing though! Did everyone cheer when the cake was cut? I've never been to a gender reveal party so I'm curious.

 

[Megamegan]

I don't even remember!! Lol. I think so. I think someone took a video... I need to locate those
