June 2013 first time bump buddies wanted

[No Doubt]

Omg, I have to get that book. I wonder if I can download it to my nook. A good margarita or pina coloda would be nice.

My scan didn't go. They don't even do them in my docs office. I just completely broke down. She checked all of my symptoms and asked if I'd been having any bleeding or cramping which I haven't and told me not to worry as all my symptoms were normal and the bleeding and cramping were main signs for concern and I didn't have any. I think everything just came to q head for me yesterday. She did at least try to find the heart beat on the Doppler but told me which wasn't expecting to hear anything as its just too soon and they never even try until 10 weeks for that reason. So I go back to see her in a couple weeks. She asked if I'd done another preg test and I told her no cause I'd been too scared thinking it may come up negative. I was worried everything was in my head. So she did another test and it was of course positive which did make me feel better. She told me not to worry and that everything was fine and that even my anxiety is a normal part of pregnancy. To ease my fears though she did get me a prescription for an u/s so I can see and hear Thumper which I'm having tomorrow afternoon. I just felt so bad for completely breaking down. I was crying uncontrollably and couldn't even answer her questions. My hubbs had to answer everything. But I'm feeling better today. Read a good passage in the bible on my way into work this morning, and tomorrow I will finally have an u/s to confirm that yes I'm insane and that everything is fine, lol.

Good luck with your scan 27! Let us know how it goes.

HUGS. Which passage did you read??

I have the book on my PlayBook ereader got the ebook from the library!! I'll post you margarita and pina coloda recipes tonight

 

[No Doubt]

I read Deuteronomy 31:1-8. I know it doesn't really seem like it relates to being pregnant, but sometimes this is a struggle for me and sometimes I do worry and fear the unknown. And I have to have faith that the Lord goes before and makes everything alright, and jot fear anything because He is always with me. Enough of my soap box, lol.

Ooh, can't wait for the recipes...thank you, thank you, thank you! Can't wait to hear about your scan!

Scan was really good!!! Which was good, because I was having an extremely frustrating day at work! I was extremely grouchy, and irrational today, and very, very nervous about this scan. Wife assured me today and every other day, that everything is fine. She was right! At first we couldn't see anything, just block on the screen. I was getting very nervous, when the Dr. finally explained she was looking for my ovaries. They were hiding. Wife mentioned that she could see the baby. When the doctor realized I was freaking out, She promptly went back to baby! When I started to cry, the doctor looked at my wife and said "oh, was she nervous?" Uh, yes.

Baby was exactly 1 inch, heart rate 185. She told me it wasn't necessary but I could come back in 4 weeks for another ultrasound if I want. I want!

Recipes!!

Virgin margarita:
1 1/2 oz Sour Mix
1/2 oz lime juice
1/2 oz orange juice
Lime wedges for garnish
Pour over ice, or blend with ice and serve garnished in a margarita glass! Alternative is to use lime or lemon margarita mix if you aren't of a do it yourself mood.

Pina Coloda
1/2 cup ice
1 1/2 oz crushed pineapple
2 oz cream of coconut
1 oz pineapple juice
Pineapple wedge and/or maraschino cherries for garnish
Blend at slow speed until smooth, pour into a Collins glass and garnish!

To make coffee syrup, use equal parts simple syrup and brewed coffee (both must be cold to mix). Simple syrup is equal parts sugar and water boiled and cooled. Use coffee syrup in place of Kahlua for White Russians and Paralyzers.

Last but not least my breakfast drink of choice the last few days...
Shirley Temple (my way)
3-4 drops lime juice
3-4 drops lemon juice
3-4 drops cherry syrup or grenedine
Add these over ice cubes in wine glass, top with half a glass of orange juice (pulp free), and half a glass of gingerale.

Feel free to adjust any and all recipes to your prego taste and enjoy happy hour once more!!!!

AND Last post for now... I think Deut 31 is exactly applicable to Pregnancy and particularly the unknown. A woman could worry herself into an ulcer quite easily these days. Thank you

[No Doubt]

So glad your scan went well 27! Hubbs keeps reassuring me everything is fine and I know he's right. I'm feeling less uneasy today and more excited. Just have to get through this day is all now. And thanks so much for the recipes. I will definitely be trying those, maybe this weekend. Feel free to post anything else that strikes your fancy.

My skinny jeans are getting a little too skinny, lol. The spreading has definitely begun, lol.

Ha join the club!

Leaving for Orlando tomorrow morning, so if I don't post, don't worry, I'm just busy soaking up some sun!! Have a wonderful week everyone, and I'll talk to you when I'm back!

 

[No Doubt]

So jealous right now! Soak up some sun for me. Have fun!

 

[No Doubt]

One perfect little Thumper! HB 172! I'll post a pic later.

 

[No Doubt]

Here's my Thumper!

She's all balled up in there, lol. Hubbs could see the heartbeat. I couldn't cause I was crying when she showed us, lol. She tried to show me again, but my eyes were still blury. I am so relieved. I think I was actually holding my breath and when she put the nobby on my belly there she was right away! I had to pee so bad, but I held it for about an hour and I guess that helped. She thought she might have to do an internal scan, but my baby was right there.

 

[pinkwaters]

Welcome mustbemommy!!!

OMG Great news everyone! So exciting!! COngrats on the scans 27 and No Doubt!

27 I'm stuck at work soak up some sun for me too haha hope you have a great time!!

Awww look at baby Thumper

My scan is on Monday I'll be 9 weeks I don't even know how I waited I'm so anxious!
Got busy with my sister in laws wedding on Thursday it was exhausting for me I had to take my heels off 20 minutes in! But great fun! I did dance a little at the reception

I feel like I'm missing out on all the fun, my friends and sisters keep asking me to join them out but I just want to lay down at home and if I do go out I'd end up back early because of the smell of food at cafes and restaurants ... All worth it in the end I keep reminding myself ... All worth it!

Hubbs leaves in a week for 6 months for a course in Paris (jealous and upset I am) It's so exciting for him, wish I could visit but can't leave work! It'll be weird not having him around for the scans and all, he's pretty upset about that too! I feel all teary eyed this morning

 

[No Doubt]

Aww pink. That sucks. I'd be a bit teary eyed too. Why can't you visit? You guys will at least be able to talk or video chat right? And for so long, he'll be back when you're about ready to pop. I'm sorry hun. He can't get it changed? My hubbs just has a 4 day deal down in Texas for his work in a couple of weeks. He's gonna miss hearing the baby's heart beat for the first time. I just thought of that. I wish I never would have oked it, but I wasn't pregnant then and I really didn't care if he went. It was no big deal and it was for work so why not... So I can't even imagine what you feel like for 6 months. How's the ms going?

I'm trying to save the full on weeping till his actually on the plane, I trust my hormones will get me going for a while
I wasn't pregnant when we planned for his study trip too so it was all fun and exciting and I planned to visit for new years (Paris in new years *aah*)
I took too many days off from work for IVF and my morning sickness so I have to save as many days as I can for the delivery later. He said he'd try to visit during christmas break though which would be great!
Will be video chatting for sure, I plan to have him on speaker phone at every visit, especially when I find out the gender, I want him to be the first to know

Plan on keeping myself as busy as I can with work (soon as morning sickness wears off)
Its going much better thanks for asking, some days are a blessing, then today for example is a nightmare but I think it's because of the wedding exhaustion

Ah well .... all for that pretty pretty baby ! haha

 

[27yrsTTC]

You guys. Florida is amazing. I woke up and it's summer outside. Unbelievable considering our plane was delayed two hours by a SNOWSTORM!!

Congrats on the scan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so so happy everything went well for you!!

Pink- my heart is breaking for you. Video as much as you can with him. It'll be ok... Sounds like he's going to miss you and little bean and much as you two will miss him!!!

Love to all of you and the little ones, we're having a Shirley temple for you right now on the deck!

 

[No Doubt]

Aww pink where do you live if you don't mind me asking? When me and hubbs were engaged we lived in two different states and he came to visit me three months before the wedding. When he left I completely lost in the airport. My mom was with me and kept saying everything would be fine and I'd see him again. Duh, it wasn't like hd was going off to war and there was that possibility of him not returning, but I just wanted to be underneath him every single second. I told him I just wanted to curl up in a ball and jump in inside him so he could take me with him, lol. So I know what you mean.

27 I'm still super jealous right now, lol. So glad you are having fun though. I swear I got hit by a snowflake yesterday when I was leaving work. I live in PA do I guess I should expect it right? I want the ice 70s back though. I'm a sucker for spring and fall. What all do you guys have planned while there?

 

[pinkwaters]

27 that sounds lovely!! Enjoy your time there! Fingers crossed hubs will manage to visit in christmas!

Aww I know how that feels! Me and Hubbs have been in different places too many times! You'd think you get used to it but not really! We're from Australia so we were in different states through university when we were going out, a lot of tears and a lot of trips, that was fun though! We're both working in the middleeast now - Kuwait.
I've been very 'tired' yesturday and today ... its not that I'm tired as much as that I just want to stay in and just sit with him, ah I think he's on to me anyway cz he's being super nice! I'm glad he's here for tomorrow's scan!
