February Lovebugs of 2016!! 16 pink, 15 blue, 7 yellow

[mitchnorm]

Hi ladies! I hope everyone is doing well. I had two good positives yesterday and today.I will have blood test confirmation on Monday. Should be due around February 18th..give or take a few days.

I'm super nervous as this has been a crazy road and still can't believe it! I think it will hit when I get my blood results on Monday.

My symptoms are sore bbs, some light cramping, and woke up so hungry I felt nauseous. I also haven't sleep well the past 2 nights due to not being able to get comfortable.

Welcome and congratulations x

I don't feel all that tired... Yet! Haha

I just feel like I have period pain cramps..

The fatigue just hit me today like a ton of bricks. Before today, nothing. Woke up this morning after my normal amount of sleep and felt like I'd slept only an hour. I've taken a nap already (never nap, ever) and could probably sleep all day if I didn't have plans!

Welcome! We're due date buddies! I've got the same symptoms, minus the sleep issue. I've honestly never slept better than I have the past few nights lol. Just been so exhausted.

I never nap either, so if I get like that, it'll be noticeable straight away haha.

As the night goes on I'm starting to feel quite sick ... I hope morning sickness isn't starting!!

Welcome to the new ladies!! So excited for February

Brandi I love it when new months start. Can't wait for the March mommies to start filling the board

I had a nap this morning. UNHEARD of for me. Woke up an hour later totally surprised. Still feel a little tired even. Hello fatigue!

 

[BrandiCanucks]

I slept in this morning by an hour and a half and needed an nap two hours later. Still haven't gotten it.

So many new mummies yay!!

All that boy talk is scaring some of us, I feel so silly.

Just woke up feeling blah today, don't even know how to describe how I feel.

I just woke up from a nap. It was amazing. I love getting to use the pregnant card. "Oh honey, I am just so exhausted. You know, making the baby and all. Watch the kid so I can sleep please."

Brandi, I am so sorry that happened! It's so hard when the choice that we make as parents when our kids are babies effect them in a negative way. It makes you extremely wary against making that decision again for the next one.

Nola, I think we can all agree that there are risks on both sides. Paraphimosis is a very rare condition. Like others have said, it can sometimes be worked through without having to resort to circumcision. With Matt's severity though, his doctor and a urologist both agreed that it was best to go ahead and circumcise. Then you have really scary cases like with Brandi's son where they had really awful complications from the surgery. The odds of this happening are also slim but they do happen and it's devastating when they do. I think the bottom line is that no matter what you end up deciding for your child, it will probably be fine. You are just dealing with two cases on the extreme ends of the spectrum.

Don't worry, Daniy! Boys are fun. I love having a little boy. They create some of the best stories!! One time, I was at my dad's house and I was about to give Matt a bath after we went swimming. He was about 3. He was sitting cross legged, butt naked, on the bathroom floor while the water was filling up. I was talking to my dad and I turned around to find Matt playing with his penis. He stopped, looked at me, pointed "it" at me with his fingers and said "pew pew!!" like a gun. I almost fell over I was laughing so hard!

 

[BrandiCanucks]

Yup! Boys are weird and boys are awesome too, lol. Then there's girls..and when you get two Diva Princesses and you're all tomboy and into hockey, you find raising boys easier lol. Thank God I have a friend with three little girls to show me the ropes.

Like Britt said, both cases are very rare and you just have to research and then decide what you feel is in your child's best interest.

I found out there's a Facebook group too. I think posting the link here is against the forum rules but if you want to PM me, I'll give you the link to anyone who wants to join.

 

[BrittRashel]

Oh gosh, I think I would have the opposite problem Brandi! I am such a girly girl. I love my ridiculously high heels and dresses. I have to wear make up at all times and my hair is always typically done. So knowing my luck, if I have a girl, she will end up being a tomboy.

One good pregnancy symptom that DH is loving is that my boobs are huge!! Unfortunately they are also tender so very little playing can be done but he's still happy. Silly men.

My lack of severe symptoms are starting to freak me out. I'm solidly 6 weeks and still barely any nausea at all. Maybe a little if I get too hungry but that is it. My symptoms are so minor that I still don't feel pregnant yet.

 

[ajarvis]

oh yes the many things they do with their penises lol So much fun.

My niece is the only girl in our family so far my sister in law has many funny stories involving vaginas and vulvas now to go along with the penis and testicles

 

[mrswichman]

Hiii Can I join please??? Just found out I'm pregnant like 40min ago...should be due in February...just not sure what date exactly. Can I be put down for unknown??

 

[ajarvis]

Welcome and congrats mrswichman! For now you could just use an online calculator with your last LMP til you get an EDD from a dr/midwife?

 

[BrandiCanucks]

Sure this wichman!!!

 

[mrswichman]

My af's have been so crazy, I did not have one since August 2014, until taking vitex and having an AF on April 22nd. So could be very end of Jan to anytime in Feb.

 

[ajarvis]

ah! So you must be getting a dating u/s soon then?

 

[mrswichman]

I am hoping so, as soon as a I book the first initial appointment

 

[daniyaaq]

Brandi you just described my situation. im a bit of a tomboy completes with the short hair and basic jeans and Tshirts....my daughter on other hand is the girliest girl ever. when she was younger my mother used to complain about how im dressing her like me, once she started talking she started basically shopping for herself and i quickly learnt how to do her hair.

so i guess i can learn to deal with a boy.

 

[BrandiCanucks]

I'm starting to get the Raising Diva Princesses thing down, thanks to my friend. They get their hair done every day, and dress in Justice, Gap, etc. My friend completely emptied my wardrobe and I LITERALLY just finished refilling it with new clothing. I spent $300 at Ardene's, Garage, Gap, etc and 3 days later, got a BFP. Figures.

The boys though, they're so simple to dress haha
