November 2013 Babies!

[missjenn]

There are absolutely no questions about it girls...we are having a boy!!! Whooo-hoooo!!

We don't get the picture for 1-2 weeks though...grrrrr!!! Thats the only thing I dont like about my hospital. The scan was about an hour long and she explained absolutely everything to us...eyes...nose...mouth (baby did a big yawn)....feet...legs...hands...arms...toes...kidneys..heart...vessels...everything...she was great.

I do have two go back for another one in two weeks as the baby would not turn in his back...and they need a picture of the heart from all angles...so they couldnt get that one. Oh well...get to see baby again in two weeks!!

Heart beat today was 147 and baby is measuring 20 weeks and 3 days.

I have my actual 20 weeks doctor appointment tomorrow morning to discuss results from last appointments blood work and all that stuff.

Excited Momma!

bumps look great rockinmom and missjen

congrats on team blue missjen, so exciting!

here's my 18 week pic


I finally started painting the mural I had planned for the nursery today, I'm so excited!

Missjenn - awww, I love the anatomy scan. It takes a while and I love that because baby is all over the screen.

Luna - lovely bump! Looks like you had abs. Nice tummy

 

[mama.luv]

Congrats MissJenn, I can't wait to see my babies again at our anatomy scan. You guys have great bumps. I gained like 4lbs in a week. I guess my bump is growing. Hey are you guys having lower back aches? I started getting this back ache yesterday and I was kind of nervous but then I looked on Justmommies.com and it said it's normal during this stage of the pregnancy. I'm also feeling my uterus hardening up like 5 times a day. It kind of feels like a baby balling up but I know my babies are too small for me to feel that. The midwife said it could be the babies moving around causing the uterus to contract. I really feel it when my bladder gets full, so I dont know if I'm feeling BH contractions or what. I get worried over everything.

Congrats missjenn! You got to post pics when you get them! I would be so frustrated if I had to wait for pictures.

Everyone's bumps are so perfect! I wish mine would start looking like a proper baby bump and not tub a lub. I know soon I be saying that I am big as a house

 

[berniegroves]

Lovely bumps ladies!!! Mine just looks like I'm super fat!!! lol

Mama - it sounds like braxton hicks to me. They're totally normal. But it's natural to worry about everything!

Missjenn - congratulations on the baby boy!! Lots of boys so far

 

[The Alchemist]

Mama - don't worry, they're just BH and they come n go through out pregnancy. They start as early as a month pregnant. And yep, when your bladder is full, it triggers bh to happen. Maybe that's the way our body tells us to empty it because it's taking up pelvic room.

Our body is pretty amazing stuff!

Otoh, it's Fathers Day this coming Sunday for us Americans, and I think for Canadians also. I haven't gotten OH anything yet. I'm so clueless! He is a motor/gear head, loves cars. But ominously not going to get him a car lol. He doesn't wear Cologne. He doesn't wear watches. I think I'm going to get him clothes because he needs a makeover lmao. This guy still wears his high school t-shirts! Think maybe go to H&M. I like their men apparels, affordable prices too. He better wear it :/

I dont think Id know a BH contraction if I had on but occasionally my back will ache if Ive been on my feet awhile or walking a lot. My stomach only gets suuuuuper hard when my bladder is full. But, Im a first time preggo, so....probably dont listen to me lol. Im sure everythings ok

Men are hard to shop for....and my OH still wears stuff thats 10 years old too lol. Im mildly freaking out about fathers day. OH is hard to shop for and I almost feel like Mothers day was a bigger deal for me than this will be for him? Who knows, I got him a funny book called The New Mans Survival guide: Man to Man Advice....lol it looks funny. And then a picture frame with a poem about loving you before you were born for the US.
Hopefully next year will be easier since we'll actually HAVE a baby lol

I'm just getting DH some cologne because he can't seem to take care of things. I just bought him a pair of RL Polo sunglasses for Xmas and he left them sitting around at work, and somebody stole them. Two weeks ago, he left his ipod touch sitting around at work, somebody stole that. He left his spare wedding ring in the bathroom at work after washing his face, somebody stole that. He even took one of our extension cords to work and somebody stole that. I'm not too happy with him getting things stolen. And might I add that we work in law enforcement. The nerve of people to be thieves. So, he's only getting cologne and I'm taking him to brunch.

 

[luna_19]

wow I can't believe the people he works with would steal so many things! And that he wouldn't learn

I just got my hubby a card, it's hard enough to try to think of something to buy him for xmas and birthday every year.

 

[berniegroves]

It's Father's Day in the UK as well. Funny that Father's Day is the same for all of us, but Mother's Day is in march over here.
My DD picked out a big selection of mr men socks for DH so he's got those. And I've ordered him a giant tub of retro sweets with a personalised label on the tub. That's it this year.

 

[missjenn]

Thanks everyone, we are pretty excited! We had our appointment today and our boy is healthy! All of the screenings, blood tests and ultra sounds were good and no risk/signs of DS or any abnormalities at all . Heart beat was 160 today and my weight gain to date for this pregnancy is 11 pounds. We are happy!

The bumps will come wantb! You just wait! Mine came like over night in a two week period.

My uterus also gets really hard a few times a day...sometimes it is soft and then other times it is like a rock!

I hate thieves! That sounds pretty terrible though...that your hubby had all of those things stolen...omg!

Wow! People got some nerves to be stealing stuff at work and in a law enforcement work area too? That is just ridiculous crazy. Yeah, good idea don't get him anything that he might leave around anywhere. Funny, my OH is horrible at leaving things/forgetting to take things. Yesterday, he left for work but forgot to walk out with his car keys, phone, and wallet. That is NOT the first time either. Another case is when he left his phone charger at work and somebody stole that. And then he also has bought things, paid, and then just walks out the store without the things he bought! Wth, dude!

Great idea! Thanks! Lol...I think I'll get OH some sweets as well. He has such a sweet tooth.

I think I had felt flutters starting from 13 weeks, even though they said it's too early.

Me too! And I can't wait to feel the first true "kick."

I finally got something to call a bump! 11w to 16w comparison

Super cute bump!

I've never had a baby, but I just feel like I am having a boy too! I will find out soon enough!

Im tired today, like....1st trimester tired. Has anyone else in their second trimester had days like this. Im literally fall down exhausted Other than that....not much new, Ill post my 19 week bump tonight, dont laugh at me, Im going to be a whale

I can't wait to see your bump pic! And I am exhausted, too. To the point that it sucks really bad.

I try to sleep on my left side because they say that is the best side

I try to convince myself that I got a good deal. I bought 2 pairs of work slacks, blue leggings, summer shorts and a bra for a total of $75. What do you guys think?

You got some good sales! It's funny you mention sleeping on your left side, I asked my doctor about it and he told me that pregnant women don't have to sleep on their left side at all and that it's just a myth. He said he only recommends women lay on their left side when they're in labor.

5 Month Milestone today...Yipee!!!!!! And today we have our gender reveal scan!!!

Super cute bump!

There are absolutely no questions about it girls...we are having a boy!!! Whooo-hoooo!!

We don't get the picture for 1-2 weeks though...grrrrr!!! Thats the only thing I dont like about my hospital. The scan was about an hour long and she explained absolutely everything to us...eyes...nose...mouth (baby did a big yawn)....feet...legs...hands...arms...toes...kidneys..heart...vessels...everything...she was great.

Congratulations! I think I am having a boy too...I totally feel it in my womb. Congrats again! I can't wait...my gender scan isn't until June 27 and it is driving me bananas!

Just getting DH a card. My birthday was the 22nd, our anniversary was the 28th, and both Father's Day and his b day are on Sunday! So we are going to go hiking and stay in a hotel in a cute little town near us. Nothing special... He is sooooo hard to shop for.

One of my oldest friends (the one I threw the baby shower for, had her perfect baby girl yesterday). She is currently my birthing hero. She pushed the baby out in 15 mins!

On a blah note, her brother (whom I've also know forever) said I don't look pregnant, I just look fat and out of shape I know he was just trying to be a jerk... But pregnant women don't need to hear that, even if it is true. Sucks. I think I need to suck it up and embrace my current fat state....

 

[luna_19]

Wow what a jerk!

 

[wantb502]

Wow what a jerk!

I know I need to get over it and forget about it... But honestly, it hurt my feelings. I'll be better in the morning.

 

[missjenn]

Not cool! I dare someone to say something like that to me...O.M.G.!! Sorry he was so mean!

 

[Rockinmomtobe]

MEAN!!! Being pregnants hard enough with being hormonal! its ok
