January Jellybeans 2013!...

So I did my first nst today and apparently they're doing an ultrasound at every appt too. I was pleasantly surprised. they said the ultrasound part is pass or fail and depending on what she failed on its likely they'd send me to deliver right then. Thankfully she passed. the ultrasound tech freaked tho, she saw I was contracting. It was very interesting to see an actual contraction while it was happening. I was like ya I have those.

Can't believe I've been coming on bnb for 7 months and have only just found this!

So.... Hi! I'm due my first on 15th Jan so excited. DH has a daughter, 12 years old, but due to her mother didn't get to do a lot of the baby stuff when she was little so he's treating this as a whole new experience.

Im 28weeks today, and we don't know the sex of the baby....somedays I find that frustrating but mostly we want a surprise, we don't have any real need to know, although I think Dh would secretly love a boy so he has 1 of each... Either way both sets of grandparents are already obsessed and totally in love, ours is a very lucky baby

Looking forward to talking to you all (now I know you're here! )

Welcome! You are on the list to become part of the list!

It might take a while since our thread starter, Betheney, is at the hospital due to her BP!

Nikki- hope you're feeling better!! Panic attacks can be pretty scary... I had some panic and anxiety problems last fall and it was not fun! The best thing you can di is acknowledge you're having one and try to stay calm about it. Try not to get panicked about the panic! I've had a few small brief ones this pregnancy that came out of the blue. We have so much going on that it's easy to get stressed. Plus a lot of it can be caused by certain chemicals released in our brains. With all the extra hormones mixed in, it's no surprise we experience some crazy stuff!! I hope you're feeling way better now though and I hope it doesn't happen again!

Glad she passed!

I wish I had an US anytime soon! Should of told hubby that my birthday, his birthday, anniversary and maybe Christmas gift should have been a 3 or 4d US LOL

Oh ya. I was considering doing another 3d/4d ultrasound they told me at my last one that 31 weeks is really the end of when they get good pictures. so I need to make up my mind before she runs out of room.

That would be for you in the next 6 days or so?!
I'mma do me a happy mega dance the day we turn 30 weeks.
Dr said we will have another US but not 'till he is around 36 weeks, to see where we stand before labor... but that will be 16 weeks after I last saw him!

You should def splurge. Do one at 29-30 weeks. Tell dh that's all you want/need for Christmas.

Thanks aruppe! I took a two hour nap and am feeling much better! Tired but fine.....i have work tonight...so getting ready and heading out!

My midwife is offering more ultrasounds to track growth and OH doesn't want to.. he thinks it will bug the baby. Um, what?? The midwife explained to him it's harmless but he was still not keen on the idea so I told her we'll discuss it and let her know at our next visit. I think he really doesn't like seeing, he never agreed to a 3D/4D because he hates the alien looking pictures and said he didn't want to see our child like that. He's a little squeemish and admits he likes seeing the baby when its fully developed and doesn't like the thought of what they look like in the womb beforehand.

Is it weird that my version of a "Happy Dance" is one where I could dance to a Vanilla Ice song just right? You know, that one that you do like you are jumping/walking back while your hands are simulating a horse ride? I could of gone with something more fancier like the moon walk or something LOL I don't know the name of that 80's awesome dance LOL, and I'm not even capable of doing it while pregnant... hahahaha.

Haha.. Nice, DeeDee!

 

[sassy_mom]

deedee!!! The thought of that made me laugh hysterically!

Snow - glad she passed and yay for getting to see her again. I'm hoping I get one more peek before birth but they haven't mentioned anything yet.

Darkstar, maybe you could go by yourself or with a friend since DH doesn't want to look. I don't think it is fair you can't see just because he is uneasy about the "alien" pictures.

Welcome teepee! Glad you found us! I think you'll love this group we have! Wonderful group of ladies.

 

[La Mere]

Snow- so glad she passed and happy you got to see her again.

Darkstar- I agree with Sassy. Is there someone you could go with other than DH? It really doesn't seem fair of him to make you give up seeing the baby just because seeing baby before its born makes him a bit uncomfortable.

 

[Lauren021406]

question for you ladies who know about your shower are you going to be there when it starts or are you going to go late like if it was a surprise?

 

[La Mere]

question for you laies who know about your shower are you going to be there when it starts or are you going to go late like if it was a surprise?

I will most likely be there when it starts or just a few minutes late because its about an hour to where we are having it. Everyone else lives very close by. Poor hubby though, he has to hang out with all the other guys somewhere else because the girls who planned it for me are pretty old fashioned (they're actually Mennonite) so it will be a girls only shower. Which does make me a little sad but hubby understands.

I'm disappointed partly because with my older children 3D/4D didn't exist so I didn't get that experience but on the other hand it costs so much money here that I can't really justify it just for me. It's also a long drive to the nearest one.

Tell him he can sit at home and you go enjoy your ultrasound!

Hubby will be hiding on the second floor of the house. I might have to sneak up some food. I know that if ladies (they are all his family) know he is there they will wanna call him to play baby shower games on him!
