Oh my, it feels like I've been gone forever. I've read all the pages, and will hopefully address most things in my reply. If not, know that I'm loving this journey with you ladies and am so excited for all of our little ones!
Lucy, congrats on the little girl and what a beautiful name. It is on our list too!
Elizabeth, when I got pregnant with my first, I was the only woman working in our office. It was awesome to have the bathroom to myself (especially since I was super sick all the time), but a little awkward. The men, however, stepped it up and were so caring. I couldn't believe it. Now, I am one of the leaders with my son's cub scout group and the men there are just as amazing. They're all softies, really. I feel so taken care of
Tasha, I'm so glad things are going well for you! I kind of feel like you might be having a boy too. I guess I have a 50% chance of being right...
Harley, how are you feeling? Did you get to talk with someone? I've been struggling, especially these last two weeks, with my depression. It certainly helps to have a confidant.
Mrs. B, yay for team
!
babyvaughan, how is your dad? I've been thinking about you and your family. Also, love the name you've picked! Such a strong and handsome one.
Medzi, my son had a heart issue that was discovered around this time. It required us to see a specialist and have extra testing. The good news was lots of extra scans and even the 3d/4d kind. I loved seeing him that much. The even better news, his problem corrected itself before birth. They say that is usually the case. It is common for things to grow at different rates and that is what happened with him. His heart grew faster than the rest of him and caused the defect. Once everything caught up, it disappeared. Now, he has SVT, but that isn't dangerous or related to the in utero problem. My thoughts and prayers are with you. It sounds like they are taking extra good care of you. Lots of hugs
Dan-o, yay for snip and snails and puppy dog tails! I was just looking at that blanket yesterday if we have a boy. I am such a sucker for stars! I hope the bleeding is on its way out for good!
Mrs. Elizabeth, we are looking to trade our car in on Monday. I am so nervous about the process and hope it goes well. I bet you're loving your new one!
jrepp, I bet your hubby loved that! I can't wait to share our little one with mine. It'll still be awhile though.
Now, about that second trimester energy boost.....I was feeling it at first and now I'm back to tired easily and often. My little pregnancy app did mention as yesterday's daily tip that we will need cat naps often and should be allowed to sleep when we can, whether in the afternoon, early bedtime, or sleeping in in the morning. I quickly shared that one with my DH
My last appointment went terribly. They were behind and rushed me through it. I still had so much I wanted to talk with the doctor about. I'm hoping it was just one bad day and my next will be more thorough. I have my anatomy scan Monday and am so excited. I tried my darndest to get them to move it to this Friday so we could tell our kids on Valentine's day, but they won't budge. Rats. My only other option would be to pay $50 and drive an hour for a private scan, but that doesn't seem to make sense when we find out Monday anyway.
I've been having a lot of emotions lately and am dealing with some jealousy that just leaves me feeling like a crappy person. It is for petty reasons and I'll share after Monday probably unless you all tell me to can the whining
Sorry for the long post, thanks for reading!
