So cool about neighbor being pregnant too! Some draw blood a lot better then others. Do want to decorate a little nook for baby. We will not be in this house by time baby comes and not sure where we will be but I do have the play pen so can get a few little things to match that more or less. And since you said Gome Goods I want to go as it is in same plaza as grocery store so not like I will waste gas going LOL Love that store but have to be careful as you can find TO MUCH.

i'm getting so nervous - we're doing a private scan Friday evening after DH's last final for the semester.

Just going to admit it - I've wanted a baby girl to hold in my arms all four pregnancies now, and the desire just gets stronger and stronger each pregnancy!! It's unbelievable! I decided to do a private scan and get the news out of the way so that I can cope with it if it's another boy (I cried for days last time around but had accepted it by the time birth rolled around). Boys are great, don't get me wrong, but just one little girl, pretty please?! I'm already in so much pain from SPD that I don't know if I could handle trying yet again for a baby girl after this pregnancy... Oh, i'm so nervous! eek!!!

As for Chinese gender, both of my sons were predicted girl, so I haven't bothered to look it up this time.

Aw! I know gender disappointment is very common (especially after so many same sex pregnancies!) I would like a boy this time around just so my husband can experience what it's like to have a little "mini me" running around. I can see why you would want the same!

rbourre - I had to get blood drawn twice too (one around 12 weeks and one around 16) and my results from the first one weren't available until the 2nd draw was done.

Fides - I totally understand how you feel. I really hope you get your baby girl this time

Well I'm officially freaking out Today boyfriend and I got into a pretty big argument and I did a lot of crying and yelling.. everything is A okay with that and we are just fine. However I was lying here on the couch because I couldn't sleep and started getting a dull ache on the right side of my uterus and it is constant and not going away. Now it's starting to get pretty sharp in other areas. It hurts quite a bit. So I decided to get out the doppler to make sure baby was okay and her heart is beating funny. It will skip beats or have an extra beat. It's freaking me out with this constant pain my uterus is in and with her heart beating funny.. but I don't want to call and be seen and tell them I was using the doppler since they frown upon using one at home because it can cause worry.. I don't know what to do. The pain has been for about an hour now and doesn't seem to be letting up at all. I'm scared I hurt her from our argument earlier.

Had our anatomy scan and everything is perfect. Baby is quite clearly a little........



BOYYYYY!
My mama's intuition was right the lady doing the scan showed us straight away and even FOB could tell he was a boy I'm over the moon!

 

[GeralynB]

Yay! Congrats on a boy!

I'm sorry, SB, that is scary. I would call the doc, just to get some peace of mind. I am praying the pain goes away soon for you, and that all is well with your little bean!

Congrats Vicky!!!

Starbrites I'm sure baby is ok but you could call and just mention the pain and the worry it's causing you without mentioning the Doppler and hopefully they'll see you and check the hb themselves?

Vicky Congrats on the baby Boy!

I would just call the doc and tell them about the pain. You don't have to tell them about the doppler.

Thank you all, we're so excited
Here's a photo of my perfect little man He was so wriggly it was hard to get a good one

Congrats vickyandchick!

Hope you and lo are doing good StarBrites.

Nothing much going on here. Trying to get my house ready for my sons 8th b-day party! Crazy to think he is already 8 years old! Baby is quite active every day now, and since Saturday everything can be felt from the outside! Both my ds and dh have gotten to feel the lo! 8 days until my scan and I am back to feeling like it is a girl. Lol

 

[Yo_Yo]

starbrites. Definitely get looked at. I'm sure all is ok, but it's not nice worrying either.

 

[Yo_Yo]

Lovely scan pic Vicky

Can't believe all these boys!

 

[MamaMac123]

Aww so is it majority boys on here now? I find out in the 28th- I have no preference though as already so blessed with one of each.

As for weight gain- I'm generally petite and weigh about 46kg at the start- I now weigh between 50-51kg. It seems like iv put alot on but I needed too and I'm happy.

Has anyone else not felt baby move yet? I'm worried because I haven't

Xxx

I haven't felt the babies yet either. My friend with twins said it took her till week 21. I wouldn't worry yet. Might still take another couple weeks

Its a babyyyy...............


Boy!

Yay! Congrats!!!

Anatomy scan today. We're team pink!

Yay! Another girl finally! Congrats!

I bought some things for the nursery today!! We decided on a nautical theme. I found a bunch of cute stuff at Homegoods. An oar to hang above the crib, anchor book ends, a navy and white hamper and some navy and white baskets. Can't wait to start putting everything together!

Sounds so cute! Can't wait to do our nursery! One thought, be careful about the ore above the crib...just worried it could fall on baby I'm paranoid that way! Lol

I'd get checked out and just don't mention the doppler. Mos likely they will check hb and maybe even do a quick ultrasound to check. I've had to go to ER three times so far and twice they did an ultrasound to check the babies.
Worth it to put your mind at ease

Had our anatomy scan and everything is perfect. Baby is quite clearly a little........

16 Weeks Today!

I have my anatomy scan in two weeks! Had to be moved up due to doctors schedule. I had planned to wait till the 3D scan for gender reveal with my mom a few weeks later but I think I'm caving! I'm starting to think I like the idea of knowing first since I'm the mommy and making DH and my step kids do the cute reveal. Although hopefully DH will be with me for scan so maybe we'll find out together. Hmmm....will see how well my self control holds out....in general I'm pretty terrible at things like this haha

Just found out another friend is pregnant and due just a few weeks after me! So excited! They've been trying for awhile.

Crazy pregnancy dream last night. Dreamt I was in a polygamous marriage with Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt hahahaha but Angelina hated me because Brad liked me better. Hahahaha insane. Apparently my pregnant subconscious is very high on herself

Got some yuck news this week. My brother who is a military chaplain is being deployed to Afghanistan right before my babies are born this means my sister in law who was planning to come visit when babies arrived won't be able to now. Plus I'm just super scared for my brother

Hope everyone is having a good week! Any gender reveals today or tomorrow???

 

[cntrygrl]

Kel is your gender scan the 23rd also?

MamaMac-- I understand that fear my brother was in Iraq back in 2006 when my niece was born. I have a cousin who has just returned from Afghanistan. I stopped watching the news while my brother was over there.

Congrats Vickyandchick! :-D

rbourre - I had to get blood drawn twice too (one around 12 weeks and one around 16) and my results from the first one weren't available until the 2nd draw was done.

Read under where it says "What does the Integrated Test involve?"

Thanks. I'm not worried about the results at all, I only did the testing so I could have an ultrasound. I didn't want to wait until 20 weeks for an ultrasound.

My arm is so sore from the blood work yesterday. I've had tons of blood work done in the past and it doesn't usually bother me, but this one hurt really bad while she was doing it and now it's bruised. I've never had a bruise like this from getting blood drawn.

15 more days until my ultrasound. I have an OB appointment a week from today so I will get to hear the heartbeat again which I am looking forward to. They picked it up at my last appointment at 12 weeks but it was only for a few seconds and it was faint. This time, it should be louder and hopefully for a bit longer so they can tell me what the heartbeat is.
