Mid-August Testers

[NotNic]

D'oh I totally didn't spot your eggplant. Yay!

 

[NewbieLisette]

Thanks girls I was sooo pleased with the bubbles! Now all I wanna do is lay there at night waiting...I think I felt some more last night and was raising the baby! Good job baby, bubble and flutter to keep mommy sane! LOL

Snow hunni I can't even tell you how bad I'm holding my breath excited for ya!!!!!! What time are you testing tmmr? Progestrone wise I must say because I inserted vagionally i never got terrible side effects or symptoms....I hope this is it for you love! xxxxxxx

Nic your bump is absolutely adorable! I can't belive you are sooo far along already!!!!! 11pounds???? Are you kidding me!!!! HA! I wish!!!! Thank God my Dr only started weighing me at 11weeks cuz between 0-11 I was already up 6 and 11-15 up 5 so I've tried to be "good" now with eating meat and veggies so when she see's me at 18weeks she won't have a heart attack or put me on some terrible diet

Bex sooo happy for you...12weeks tmmr and a scan Thursday!!!!!!! You're gonna be just over the moon sweetie, you'll see!!! YAY for puking too

Hands, Bea, CH :wave: How you ladies doing this Monday?

 

[NotNic]

Thanks Hun! After ms went my appetite pretty much disappeared and went back to normal. Heartburn saved me from overeating too! My mum was pretty small until 30 wks when she was pregnant and then ballooned so I reckon I'll probably do the same!

You're doing so well so don't stress about weight gain. Some bodies need a bit more water or a bit more fat stores to keep them going! As long as you try to avoid extra sweet treats and try a bit of gentle exercise then you'll stay nice and healthy. I can't believe how quickly yours and Bex's weeks are flying by. 2nd tri?! Yay!!

CH - Will your hubby get his bloods back soon?

Hands - how are you finding Dexter's kicks right now? Pip's kicking has just started to disturb my sleep. Also I keep getting 'alien' feelings where it does odd moves. Bea - did you get that before your lo got bigger? I feel like Pip is doing doggy paddle some times! Also has your mw told you how baby is presenting?

Snow - everything that can be crossed is crossed for you. Xxx

Nic - I tend to feel Dexter mainly at night when im laying down and when i first wake up in the morning. I get movement sometimes during the day, but he's mainly active those two times... and it's during those two times that i feel him not only kicking, but rolling around. Maybe those are those alien feelings you are feeling? We can actually tell when he has his back towards us or not due to my bump becoming really hard and his rump sticking out on my belly. We can also tell when he is up front or in the back of the uterus.

It is definately exciting and i wake up to my hubby's hands on my belly most mornings. We talk to Dexter and play with him. Great bonding moments for us. When i lay my hand on my belly for a while he tends to always move around so he can kick my hand. Not sure if my hand casts a shadow or if he can feel the slight pressure, or feel my heartbeat through it... but no matter how he finds my hand, he finds it and follows it around.

BTW Hubby is A+ and i'm A- ... so we know Dexter will be A... and it's a battle to see if he inherits my - or daddy's +. We're placing bets LOL

Snow fingers are crossed!

All appointments are set for Good Friday and follow up is set for April 10th. I hope that is enough time for him to get the results! If not we will have to wait until the following week because our urologist will be out of tow from the 11th-13th. So we should know more by mid April. Right now I am awaiting the results of my comprehensive finals and studying for my 4-8th grade licensing. Really want a principal job but not counting on one right out of the shoot!!!

BFN. I am in a really bad mood. I'll catch up with everyone later when I feel a bit better.

 

[NotNic]

Okay honey. Keep positive though. If the progesterone is extending your LP then it may still be a bit too soon to know for certain. I got a BFN at 10DPO and a BFP on 17DPO. Thinking of you and we're here if you need a vent. xxx

 

[NewbieLisette]

Snow praying its just a little too early hunni!

 

[snowflakes120]

Thanks girls. Just totally bummed that I won't be PG before my 32nd Birthday. I also wanted to be PG by the end of 2012. I have one cycle left to do so and that's cutting it really close. But I guess I can't change anything ya know? I guess my next hope is that I am PG by the time I turn 33. Next step, I go to the Dr. between CD1 & CD5 to get checked for cysts - if that checks out good then I will start the Clomid. I am hoping that I can get in on CD3 to get the CD3 blood work done then if the Dr. agrees to do it for me. I just hope that the Progesterone keeps AF away like it's supposed to - I had a tiny bit of temp drop today so it better keep way for the next few days til I stop taking it. Can't believe I am about to enter Cycle #11 and Cycle #5 after the MC.

CH - Sounds like you have all your appts all set up and planned out perfectly.

Hands - I am pretty sure I am O+. I know they told me when I had the miscarriage but so much was going on I'm think that's it.

Nic - Love the new picy of you huns.

Lisette - Super cute new avatar photo!

Bex - Hooray for pukies.

Bea - I can't remember. I feel kinda bad if you already said it. Do you have names picked out yet?

Our 1st kickball game is tomorrow night. I am kinda nervous. I haven't played in years. But it should be fun and I totally plan on having a drink or two after the game with friends.

I am also going to start doing Yoga weekly. I signed up for some classes near by. I am excited. Maybe I will start to feel more calm and relaxed. I feel like a big anxiety ball these past few months.

Also, my UK girlies. Ya'll will be proud. I picked out an Essex accent yesterday. I was so proud of myself. Here's the story. I was doing dishes. I had Seinfeld on. I left the channel on after and America's Next Top Model British Invasion came on after. So I finished dishes, sat down and a girl started talking and I thought - That girl sounds just like the TOWIE girls talk - She's gotta be from the area. The next thing I know about 5 min later a little box came up saying "Louise - Essex, UK" I just smiled to myself!!

BTW, I am nearly done with Season 2 - I have 4 more to watch. Mark & Lauren just had their engagement party. Joey Essex and Sam had a date. I noticed a bit ago the website has put up a few episodes of Season 3 so I should be able to watch those too.

 

[NotNic]

Oh no. I did NOT realise our birthdays were so near. How do they come around so quick?! Do you have any special plans? You will definitely be a mummy by your 33rd bday. You're not out yet my lovely.

I'm very proud that you're learning the accent! I can proudly take you out in London now and know that you'll fit and understand what they're all saying. I think you're about ready for some cockney rhyming slang soon too!

Xx

 

[NotNic]

Hey ladies, just wanted to let you know that we've exchanged on our house so should be moving in by Easter. I feel real sad that we are leaving our little flat now

CH - Great news on getting those appointments in on Good Friday. It'll be here before you know it. Are you doing anything like NTNP in the meantime? Good luck with all your exams too. You're one busy lady!

 

[Srbjbex]

Thats great Nic - exciting times ahead, new addition to your family and a new home.

Snow - any news today? I forgot to click your ticker before I clicked reply! I was sorry to hear about the -ive yesterday, but your post really really did make me smile when you were talking about being able to identify the Essex accent! Brilliant!

CH - great news about the appointments! Good Friday is not actually tat far away really!hh

Lisette - i love your new profile pic!! I always love the way your hubby looks like such a proud daddy in your photos!

Bea - How is the amternity leave going??! You have finished now right? How long are you having off in total? I have already decided I am having the full 12 months and cant wait for it it to start!

Hands - Hi!!

AFM....scan tomorrow...argh!!! really strange mix of nerves and excitement! My symptoms have completely disappeared today, just to add to the nervousness, but generally feeling positive.

Budget Day today as well...an exciting day in the lives of us tax accountants!! haha I am such a geek! I was actually out a meeting all day today, and missed he budger so I recorded it and just watched it when I get in now

 

[NewbieLisette]

Hey girls :wave:

Sorry I've been away, bad migrane for the last two days that had me in tears by last night Thank God it passed & today I felt human again! I guess its just the surge of hormones! Hope my LO is growing strong in there! Registered for pre-natal classes today & my 3D scan in June. Tomorrow morning I will visit a daycare! Aaaahhhh all soo real now

Bex what a beautiful little plum you are!!! You're appointment is gonna be sooo incredible tmmr I just know it what time is it at? Don't worry about symptoms at this point...remember I got full energy back at 11weeks & was terrified it was wayyy too early but it wasn't the exhaustion comes back now & again even in the 2nd tri to remind me to slow down! Lol

Nic I know what you mean about weight & not stressing, I'm totally enjoying just being healthy & eating what I can! As long as my Dr gives me a good report each appt I'm happy! Fingers crossed for next week! Such great news for a new house sweetie! Will be a lovely fresh start to welcome the LO! Emotional change though I'm sure

Hands that's soo lovely that Dexter kicks your hand & you can tell positions & stuff now! WOW I can't wait

Snow I'm soo sorry hunni! I hope ur having lots of drinks tonight & looking forward to yoga classes too! I think relaxation is gonna be a wonderful thing for your body & mind right now...I know this must be incredibly hard on you

CH & Bea hope you guys are doing well

 

[NotNic]

Good luck today Bex. Can't wait to hear how you get on. xxx

 

[NotNic]

Lisette - just realised where you are weekswise. I'm not a headache / migraine sufferer but for about a fortnight from 17wks I had daily headaches. Just keep your fluid levels up and get as much sleep as you can. They do pass I promise! xx

 

[snowflakes120]

Thinking of you today Bex.

 

[InHisHands]

Bex.... keep us updated!

Nic - I can't imagine moving at this stage. Ugh! Good Luck girl and congrats on the squash!!!

 

[Srbjbex]

Here we are ladies....the little wriggler!! thanks for all your kind thoughts, baby is comepltely fine, and good strong heartbeat

 

[NotNic]

Wowsers! What a lovely shot. You must be over the moon honey. xxx


Hands - I know I am nuts! Still I'm grateful that so far I don't seem to have got too big and I'm still active, which should make moving a little easier. How are you and Dexter doing? I think we need another bump shot soon. Bea we need one from you too!!


Snow - How are you doing right now?

 

[NewbieLisette]

BEX!!!!!! Soooooooo happy for you hunni
