Congrats on 12 weeks!

Good luck for your scan tommorow

Ah Jokerette, that sounds lovely! That’s one of my favorite Bill Murray movies… hilarious! And from what I’ve seen, it’s beautiful up there. Enjoy the rest of your vacation!! I’m not jealous at all.

Sorry Junebugs, I have no idea the limitations on weight lifting and such. I’d say 100 pounds would definitely be too much, however like you said, you didn’t lift the dog off its feet so it’s difficult for me to interpret how much ‘weight’ you were really pulling, versus how much he moved on his own. I know that if I overdo anything, baby informs me as I feel crappy and crampy when I am. I was at the barn on Saturday and although I didn’t lift anything (or ride), I started feeling it when it was time for me to leave. Between the heat and the waddling around taking horses for walks and cool baths, my body knew when to call it quits.

Glad you had a good appointment, Tiger, and that everything is going well! And holy weight loss! :O That’s impressive!

Congrats on becoming an olive, Geogem! And don’t say that – like you said, progress is progress. I love watching everyone’s tickers change, because it’s fun. I’m not a stalker at all, no no no.

Oh no, RJ2, sorry to hear of the infection but glad you’re doing better, and that the baby is fine too! Rest up and hope you’re feeling recovered soon!

Aw Becstar, love the pic! Beautiful! And sorry, I know zippo about nubs so I’m no help there. =(

SCAN TOMORROW! EEEE I cannot wait. 7:30am needs to hurry up already… and I never in my life expected those words to come out of my mouth. ROFL.

Where’s my scan twin(s)?

:wave:! I got my scan today......Going to try upload it from home, but got to say it was the BEST 10 minute movie in the world!!!!
Baby seemed to be practising yoga inside the belly , all flappy arms and tiny feet, really such a difference from the 8 week scan. the NT result all looks normal, so just waiting for the result of my bloodwork. HUGELY relieved.

Hi Ladies-

I couldn't make it on for a few days due to a busy work week and WOW, a lot goes on here! No way to catch up with everything, so to recap: WELCOME to the new members and HUGS to those with sickness/losses.


Name: Diana
Due date: Feb 10
Age: 27
Location: Chicago, USA
SO details: husband of 3 years, we've been together for 9 years
Other children: this is the first!
Profession: graphic designer for a wine company
Other fun facts: "Mom" to a 3yr old Shih Tzu who's spoiled rotten!

Question for the crowd-
Is anyone else having a horrible time eating meats? Chicken, beef, you name it. I have to practically force it down. The smell of it cooking is disgusting and the taste of it is just so.... bleh. Any suggestions? I want to make sure the babes is getting enough protein!

Hi Diana! Join the club! I have been an honorary vegetarian since the day i hit 6 weeks....bloody impossible to look at meat. I stayed off meat all through until 12 weeks.


Just today, I tried to be brave because was too freaked out over baby not getting protein.I ate chicken today, but honestly, i think it was like swallowing a pill. Really really hard. Been eating eggs in the morning (boiled with lotsof cheese) and thats been easier. Eggs +milk +cottage cheese once a week is how i am dealing with it....not an ideal solution. but as my mum keeps reminding me, THIS TOO SHALL PASS!!!

Ive been a Veggie for over 20 years & all my babys have been born at very good weights Im sure your LO will be fine

Ask your midwife or Doctor for advice on what to eat They are normally very good

VERY good to know...thanks!!

can you stomach eggs or peanut butter? those are pretty decent sources of protein

I actually forgot about PB - I can stomach some of that... and DH keeps saying I need to eat more eggs, so I'll have to work on it. It's just so hard! The only thing that tastes good is milk! lol

Just got home (er, to work) - baby looks great! Took awhile to do the nuchal measurements because baby was being stubborn - uh oh, already takes after mommy! But the measurements came back normal, bloodwork #1 is done and I get bloodwork #2 in a month. Then they'll tell me the results based on the measurements + blood. Things looked good so I take that as a positive sign. And my uterus is fine, thank you doctor for getting me all paranoid for nothing. So, the waiting game begins, as my next appointment is just a general pee-in-a-cup, get weighed, heartbeat on 8/24. I am pretty much on cloud 9.

I know nothing about nubs but if anyone has guesses, you are welcome to propose them. haha. She gave me 8 photos total, but this was the clearest photo of the baby in its entirety. Some are just feet, just hands, etc.
