July Sparklers 2016!

[MelliPaige]

Mine is scheduled for Saturday and it feels like a eternity away! I feel for you girls!

 

[Hollynesss]

Looks like a lot of us will find out the same week!

So I've been told I have an anterior placenta, but I've def felt movement and this morning I am sure I felt an actual kick!! I'm 17+6, do you think it's really baby or am I just wishful thinking?? Has anyone else had an anterior placenta in a previous pregnancy?

I've had anterior with nearly all my pregnancies. This one is anterior too. I've felt movement for the past 4/5 weeks. Just depends on where your placenta is.

 

[Babylove100]

Ah okay, so it could very well be baby then! Exciting!!

 

[DandJ]

I have an anterior placenta as well and don't think I've recognized any movements but I am only 17-ish weeks. Feeling lots of pressure though!

 

[karry1412]

UGH! The hospital just called with my new insulin dose. I started off having to inject myself twice & day & now I'm up to SIX times!!

 

[Miss Bellum]

Sounds like we will get a lot of gender reveals at the same time! Will be a bit busy for you Holly!

Babylove - Could definitely be movement how exciting

Karry - Sorry to hear about your injections Six a day sounds rough

 

[Hollynesss]

Aw Karry, I'm so sorry to hear that!

 

[Cowgirl07]

We had our gender scan today, battled snowy roads on our way home. But it's a girl! So excited

 

[WantsALittle1]

Cowgirl congrats on your scan and pink bump!

We got 16 inches of snow here, and counting. I can't believe it's still coming down. This has been a crazy storm!

 

[Babylove100]

Cowgirl, congrats on your pink bundle!!

Can't wait to see what all you other ladies are having!! So exciting!x

Congrats!!! And hope everyone with snow can stay safe & warm

And thanks guys. Six injections as well as seven daily glucose checks are such a pain (sometimes literally) & make it tough to get excited about this pregnancy but I'm starting to show & feel some movement which makes it easier! Plus I have a major distraction now in trying to plan my little mans second birthday! I don't know where to start!

I was told last weekend in my scan thatmy placenta is anterior although I was told it was posterior in the 9 week scan..
Anyway, I have been able to feel the baby very sporadically over the last few weeks. It's just little popping which could easily be ignored, but I remember that's how the movements started with DD. They haven't been getting any stronger or frequent yet but hopefully that will happen soon.

Cowgirl congrats on your pink bundle of joy!

Karry sorry to hear about your injections, that sounds rough!

 

[Carlinator]

Congrats on the pink bump scan! Seems there are lots of girlies here

Well, we are super happy as well, couldn't wait to find out, so paid for a private scan. I was right! It's a boy! And just like I suspected, he was/is hiding. All curled up toward my back! That's why I'm not showing much. Little stinker!! (I am finally starting to show a little, just...not much yet!) He was just so cute - butt up in the air in one pic, and hand over his face being dramatic. Brought DD with us - it was a really fun experience!

Also got a call yesterday after that though, from my Dr office. I am a carrier for Cystic Fibrosis, and OH needs to get tested. We are trying to figure out his confusing insurance to see if it's covered at all, but doesn't seem too expensive if we have to pay out of pocket. So I am a little worried. But neither of us has anyone in our families with CF, so I feel the chances are low, and I'm trying to stay positive. If it turns out he's a carrier, our baby will have 1/4 chance of having CF. I really wasn't prepared for that, I don't remember anything about me being a carrier ever mentioned with DD.

OH seems calm about it, probably a lot calmer than I am! But we are just so overjoyed to have our feelings confirmed that we have a son, a shy little boy!

 

[Babylove100]

Ah congrats on your blue bump Carlinator!!

 

[SCgirl]

I found out before having DS that I'm a carrier for SMA. We were encouraged to have DH tested, but he said if he was a carrier too, he wouldn't want to have kids because of the risk- so we never had him tested! Knowing that I'm a carrier, if we noticed signs in a baby we'd know to test further, but as far as the pregnancies go, it wouldn't make a difference in me carrying them!

We find out gender on Tuesday... I find myself wanting a girl, but I'm pretty sure it's another boy. That'd be ok- we have all kinds of boy stuff already!

I'm already huge, and just started going to the gym since I'm not feeling as sick (I'm down 13lbs since my bfp, not on purpose)- trying everything I can to prevent pre-e again and being on bedrest in/out of the hospital for the last 2 months

 

[Hollynesss]

Congrats, Carlinator!

That makes 8 blue bumps, 7 pink bumps, and 1 yellow!

 

[MelliPaige]

Congrats Carlinator!
I'm so excited for you, my little boy is literally my best friend and biggest mommas boy! Anytime anyone announces they're having a little boy I get so excited haha

I find out in 2 days! I'm going with my initial instinct of having a girl..I can't wait to find out!
