Betty glad your scan went well and you were able to stay team yellow

Catalyst I hope that eight weeks flies by! Although I do get sad sometimes realizing I one day won't be preggo

Gag lol I would murder you lol jk that sounds super fun

Webbles I am so sorry I hope Sending positive thoughts

Aphy hugs I hear you. I definitely loss tears over my baby and it stinks not having the movements to feel reassured.

Bbygurl yikes I am so sorry!! That stinks

Afm got all the decor for tomorrow's surprise reveal and my welcome box from Amazon. I really love the samples and I got the toy I wanted (a red and blue helicopter) for my baby boy. In other news ex might be actually trying to reconcile

Had another prenatal appt today. I got results from my IPS and everything came back low risk. The level of proteins and sugars and stuff in my urine is still normal, my blood pressure is good, Dr was able to find the heartbeat using the office doppler with no problem, and my bump feels like I'm "between 16 and 18 weeks".

So, so far so good. Let's hope the rest of my pregnancy goes just as well. *knocks on wood* : )

 

[DobbyForever]

Yay so glad everything came back normal!

Come to think of it my gyn didn't touch my uterus like wt actual f* I'm really annoyed now/again lol

 

[Catalyst]

Sorry for yoi guys that feel emotional or pissed about something.

Weebles - hope everything will turn out fine, just hope you get some answers soon.

As for me bump just grows and grows these days. Also wondered if they moved higher or at least one of them cause I felt like my bump was big at top but small at bottom. Still get kicks at usual spots so unsure about it. Got loads of kicks pritty low (I say kicks but might be punches) felt sometimes like it was using my bladder as a punching bag or knocking on the exit!! love feelint movements but sometimes think signs with keep out or no punching here would be nice. 21 weeks tomorrow and DH hasnt felt anything yet. Did with the boys by now. Hope it is soon. He is so excited but said there is enaugh time for that

 

[Maries_s]

Weebles I'm sorry you have to wait more time. I hope that everything comes back normal. I'm going to keep you in my prayers.

Aphy thanks and I've been having the same feeling about DH'S safety. Last week I almost panicked because he was out doing some errands and took him longer and I started hearing sirens and almost started crying. Thank goodness few minutes later I saw him in the front door.

Marie- Cute bump pic! looking good lady

Weebles- So sorry to hear that.... Hopefully everything will be ok, just try to stay positive

 

[Gagrlinpitt]

Weebles I'm keeping you in my thoughts and hoping all goes well.

Dobby, I totally think my mil will want to lol.

 

[lesondemavie]

Thinking of you weebles

 

[Betty.Rubble]

Weebles - hoping you get some good news in a week x

 

[PrettyInInk42]

Omg, you guys. I got so hormonal and pissed off yesterday (at the father), that I was on the verge of yelling at him and telling him I was pregnant.

 

[DobbyForever]

Oh man. Been there. Everything ok between you two now?

Which reminds me I put my foot down and clarified to ex there was no termination that he thought he convinced me to get. After yelling at me for two days then crying for two days he said he wants to work things out because he loves and misses me (even though I just saw him 5 days ago) and that's his son so we'll see

 

[PrettyInInk42]

Ya, we're ok now. It was one of those situations where he could tell I was pissed, but I was all "ok... don't worry about it... doesn't matter." Just being a vague-ass girl and continuing to put off conversations that should've been had a while ago. And I can't even get drunk (to take the edge off) and have the convo now. lol

 

[DobbyForever]

Awww I'm glad things settled down. And, for me, the conversation ended up being much less dramatic than I anticipated. I spent so long preparing for the worst reaction that his perfectly normal one surprised me haha. So prepare for the worst, hope for the best. But I think you already said you are ready either way.

 

[PrettyInInk42]

Oh ya. I'm really hoping if he does initially decide to not see me anymore, he'll eventually miss the cuddles and company and realize having a kid is not the end of the world. However, if I think he's with me for the wrong reasons, or he just starts being an unreliable dick, I'll kick him to the curb. lol

 

[DobbyForever]

Lol sounds like a plan to me . It'll take time for him to process. Does he talk a lot to his family? I know you mentioned family gatherings, but does he open up to them? They seemed more open to the idea of you two having kids so they might help him process and be involved if he seeks out their opinion.

 

[PrettyInInk42]

He seems decently close with his mom, his step-mom, and a couple cousins on his dad's side. That being said, there are the comments his mom's apparently made about not wanting to be a grandma cuz it'll make her feel old. And years ago, I posted a pic on FB of an ultrasound pic of my nephew and one of his male cousins was like "oh crap, you scared me for a sec" cuz he thought it was my baby. But I think most people would feel pretty positive about the whole thing.

 

[second.time]

Pretty, sorry if you've already covered this, but are you seeing your ex or any of his family/friends in person? I'm just wondering how you're managing to hide the pregnancy! I know you're probably tiny and not showing much, but you're getting closer to the point where you'd show ...

I hope both of you get to the perfect place with your exes, whatever that might mean for you individually!

I'm pretty happy to hit 20 weeks today. We've had some boring drama with my son's daycare, really out-of-the-blue because our experiences there have been positive, and now he's home with me. It was a tough decision and we tried as hard as we could to make it work. It throws a new complication into my life right now, but so far it's not bad.

 

[DobbyForever]

Oh right I remember you mentioning that. They'll get over it I hope lol . When is the trip again?

Yay 20 weeks!!! Sorry you had to pull him out of daycare

 

[Gagrlinpitt]

Ladies I really hope both of you are able to find peace and be able to get through this. I know you have your reasons for not telling them and hopefully when you do, it'll take stress and the worry off your shoulders..

 

[PrettyInInk42]

He's not my ex; he's my 9+ year friend with benefits, but we're pretty much monogamous. I see him on Tue and Thu nights, and we get together on Sat afternoons and I stay at his place til Mon mornings. I'm overweight to begin with and I'm really not showing that much. And I see his family members only once in a while. I haven't seen any of them since I've been in 2nd tri. I know I'll be showing a lot more soon though. I already had a woman at my work comment that I put on weight and I blamed it on winter and a big lunch. lol

The trip is Mar 24-Apr 1. I was thinking of telling him on Fri. Apr 7 (day before my BDay), so he'd have the weekend to process the info, and I'd get 2 more nice hang outs after we get back. But I'm now thinking, if I plan on announcing on FB on Apr 9, that's less than 48 hours before he'll eventually be getting texts from people that know we're "together" and he might still be in a shitty mood. So, I might tell him the day after we get back, so he'll have more time to come to terms with it, and he'll have work as a distraction.

Edit: The labels at the bottom of the pic seem to have been cut off. That's a 6 week vs 18 week comparison.
