Mummy- was Lottie a surprise also? That is exciting to wait, I wanted to but just couldn't!

Huggles- Yay for scans. Can't wait for more pics.....it will be so cute! And look like a real baby finally!

Flying- love the stuff. Very cute. I have not bought ONE item. It has been pretty easy to refrain so far.

NDH- hope you are feeling well

Sarah- stop stressing and see what your temps do! Glad you are popping on for a chat.

Dew- did you have doc appt yet?

Hope everyone is good!

I have to start taking my antibiotics today...they are gross looking and could make my pee and poo reddish? Not cool. Im afraid to even take them! But don't want infection in kidney or something evil like that so I better do it.....

 

[babyhopes2323]

sorry about your antibiotics but better safe than sorry i guess..xxx hope it gets better soon nyp

 

[nypage1981]

me too- I think its already getting better cuz i dont feel much of that burning crampy in my bladder anymore!

where is everyone?

I believe the scan has to be scheduled at the hospital. And when I talked to them last week they won't even try to hear the heartbeat on a dopplar until they have confirmed dates on U/S.

Last night the wind blew our shed over the fence and it is now upside down. Not sure whether it will be salvageable or not but they just finished building it Saturday.

Always something with this wind. Just a few months ago I posted pics of our fence after being taken out by the wind.

Oh I am here NY

Glad AB is working for you already...what happened to your other kidney?

Preethi: wow new scan pic...baby looks adorable and is growing so fast And yay for going back to Marcus again Wish you all the best for the trip

Sarah: don't worry so much about temps...when I showed my BBT charts to doc, all she looked for was if I was ovulating or not, she wasn't concerned about other things.

I took my temp this morning at 7:00am (I used to temp at this time previously too.). It was 97.21 F which indicates to me that temps didn't drop before AF, thankfully I wasn't temping otherwise I would have raised my hopes especially since AF was one day late I'll be temping this month at least until ovulation is detected.

NY: I have scheduled lab appointment for Wednesday (Day 3). Whenever the results are back, my doc will have a look and submit them on my account along with her comments which I can access online. If there is a concern, I will schedule to meet her. Let's see how it goes. I am looking forward to doing these tests.

Sheryl: Those are some wicked ideas your mom is putting in your mind You and DH seem to be doing very well under the circumstances...cheers to that and to your appointment

Good luck for your upcoming appointments ladies!

 

[Dew]

Aww that's terrible Sheryl. I hope something works out in this regard. What were you building the shed for? Winds been crazy here too and it was so saddening to hear about Alabama tornadoes. Praying for everyone's safety.

It hardly takes any effort to hear the heartbeat on doppler. Don't understand their fuss about it.

 

[sherylb]

I think they just want to make sure they aren't doing it too early. Who knows maybe they will but I doubt it.

The shed was going to hold the lawn equipment so we would be able to use our garage more. It's full to the brim and only holds one car instead of 2.

Sheryl, I hope the damage to shed is not too bad and can be fixed with no extra cost.

According to my understanding, a healthy HB can be heard without doubt after 12 or 11 weeks. At 10 weeks I think, it's an iffy situation so doctors wouldn't want to try for the fear of discouraging the mom-to-be.

 

[sherylb]

By LMP I am 12 Thursday.

By LMP I am 12 Thursday.

Nice I was looking at your ticker. Good luck, you have been so patient this long

 

[nypage1981]

Bummer they wont hear heart beat Sheryl....so they are going to do an ultrasound when? Seems like a cycle, they won't hear HB til ultrasound...but you have no ultrasound scheduled....so crap, when are you going to figure out if baby is healthy and good!!

Dew- I sold a kidney to the black market when I was 19 years old. Bad idea....but i've never had a problem with it so far. I just be careful not to take much for medication and such.
Weird that your temps stayed up....although when mine were up when I was preg (not knowing I was preg, I just started temping at that time) they were like 98.5 or something like that...so is the 97 pretty normal temp then? Or is that high?

I am excited for thurs and fri...looks like temps in the 60's and some stormies! I love stormy summer weather. Long as no one is hurt that is I don't even need the storm, but love the gray sky and humid feeling and wind and stuff.

My doc called and canceled appointment tomorrow. I still go for some blood work to rule out spina bifida I guess. Its rescheduled for next week, different doctor now since mine will be out all week. I was slightly aggravated and hormonal when learning this.......but was reassured that meeting another doctor wasn't completely pointless. I hate explaining things though and feeling like they know nothing about me. I am sure 16 week apointment is pointless anyways, they do nothing but listen to HB, and yea....I do that at home.

Anyone sick of hearing about Osama yet? I was sick of the Royal Wedding too...so this isn't a political complaint! I just think that that the media is probably the most annoying group of people ever!

 

[Dew]

Aww you sold your kidney...darn teen age!!

My bad, my bad 97.2 is below coverline temp, coverline was almost always around 97.5 and post-ovulation temps peaked to a max of 98.2...I don't know what I was thinking earlier been a long time that I temped so got confused...thanks for correcting NY

I do not like WIND at all...I hate wind It dries my skin, hurts my ear and makes my hair messy I love rain in summer but again rain in winter is not my thing. I really really want some sunshine. Today it is nice outside, I may go out and pick some dead leaves and weeds from yard.

I am not so much on news channels, usually read news online and catch up local news on 45 in the night. However it is great that he is dead, finally!! You are right about media though I don't mean to offend anybody but honestly speaking, I didn't understand the hype over Royal Wedding especially here in the US

 

[nypage1981]

OMG...i totally forgot at the end of that post to laugh my butt off and say JK!!! I got too wrapped up in all I said. Im SO sorry, not trying to be a "cool" liar, I was totally just pullin your chain though

I was only born with one.... No idea where it went! I didn't even find out until I was 26 years old. Crazy huh?

And the one that I DO have is way low, like right on my ovary. Its so weird! And to think, this is my very first UTI- even with only one kidney my whole life. I've done pretty well.

 

[Dew]

LMAO!! and I really thought you did...was wondering seriously what could have been the reason LOL good joke!!

But hey sorry for being born with one and not knowing until so late in life...so how did you get to know...what were the circumstances? What if I have one? Don't they tell this when the baby is born? not sure, may yes if we do 2D/3D scans before birth...???

 

[nypage1981]

Well with my daughter 7 years ago they didn't do internal ultrasounds or anything so they didn't find out....I was getting an internal U/S done for some pain and they were trying to find my kidneys and were like...do you only have one? I answered, well, i guess i dont really know! So they did confirm that i've got just one. And now this pregnancy around also, the tech was so shocked to see I have a kidney right by my ovary and kept running into it while doing my internal early ultrasounds! I am strange!

Yea, someone at work asked the other day about why do I have one kidney and I like to joke.....How do you think I got my bfp? I sold a kidney dammit!

Guess unless you have problems there's no reason to know earlier in life. They do not do a routine xray of babies or anything! For all we know, we could have cartoon characters living in our liver!

It makes me wonder how this pregnancy will go though...no problems with the first but they were a little surprised of that so im nervous but will get through what I need to for baby.

 

[nypage1981]

All right- this bump is huge! I think I have a camera with a screen like one of those carnival mirrors that makes you look wider

I can't upload my 11-12 week one for comparison cuz that was on my phone and no idea how to get it on here but it was smaller for sure! Eeeek!

And still no actual weight gain. I am up and down lbs each day by 3,4,5 lbs- but nothing above my starting yet. How can I not have gained like a zillion pounds with this huge belly?

 

[Dew]

Hey NY! you look nice and the bump is pretty...why were you so hesitant of showing your bump...it's great!!

With Ella you didn't have any difficulty so this pregnancy should also go smoothly...why worry unnecessarily, right? Take it easy!

there is so much we learn about our bodies when it is scanned...for that matter, I had no idea I could be having fibroid or tilted uterus.

I read in news last year about a man whose heart was a mirror image of a normal heart and he didn't know it until 50-60 years of age so out of norm things do happen but they don't necessarily mean trouble

 

[nypage1981]

Thank you Dew!
I just felt like I should have no bump until 20 some weeks so even out in public and around family and at work im so afraid to have it show! Like, I feel guilty to have one so early or something. IDK, its weird. I don't take weight gain lightly and as I say that im sitting here eating puppy chow that I just HAD to make. Real healthy. Lol.

I also have tilted uterus and a fibroid! Lol. They told me of the fibroid with this pregnancy, last scan. She said its ok? Not affecting anything but i've done research and hope it stays that way! Scary to find this stuff out about our insides though.

I have seen people on xray with that I think...the heart is on the opposite side of the mediastinum.....its called......situs inversus I believe. And my spelling is probably wrong .But they can also have other organs like stomach on other side...stuff like that. Its strange when you do an xray and they don't know it because you have to wonder if you did something wrong!
