[OPEN] 1st child due late July/August 2011

[HarliRexx]

LOLOL! Wow flying! Looks like you are already ready! Looks cozy and inviting. I like the wall color too...very similar to what I have in my bathroom.

We had the first name for a boy picked out 3 days after I got my bfp. We're pretty solid on the middle name now but still totally up in the air for a girl's name. For some reason it seems overwhelming to me so I havent looked much. Maybe because I feel there are so many pretty girls names that it's so hard to narrow down. There weren't many boys names I was crazy about so that made choosing easier.

We were told it's a girl after 2 scans. Our scan at the regular dr was not able to give us the gender as the babies legs were crossed. We then went and did a 3d gender scan and after a lot of work were told it's a girl.

I hope they are right!!! LOL

attached are her scans at 18wks 5 days

Dizny, cute pics!

Flying, the nursery looks great!

We have a list of names, but we are by no means close to choosing any...

 

[Sideways 8]

hi everyone! Flying the nursery looks awesome!!! We haven't bought the first thing yet lol.

Congrats Dizny!! how sweet a little girl!!

we have picked out names for our little one, but they were picked out while we were TTC.

 

[rducky]

Ok, what's going on? I haven't been sick for 3-4 weeks and now I'm nauseous and throwing up again....argh!

 

[HarliRexx]

Awwww! So sorry rducky! How strange! I thought you either stop being sick after 1st tri or you're one of the lucky one's that's sick the whole 9. I didn't know it could stop for weeks and then come back with a vengeance!

 

[rducky]

So, how's everyone doing?

I have had a few rough days with nausea and some throwing up...not sure where this came from as I had been doing really well for about a month. Oh well. I've read on some of the threads that this happened to other girls too.

I've also been super tired and sleeping constantly. I can take long naps during the day and still sleep all night. I thought I was supposed to get my energy back in 2nd tri...Is anyone else feeling tired like this too?

 

[rducky]

Is everyone ok? It's quiet in here....

 

[HarliRexx]

Yeah, I'm ok but hubs is not. We thought he had the flu so I was staying at a friends house while it ran it's course. Then as he was describing symptoms to me on Sun night I realized it could easily be strep. He went to the doc Mon and it's acute tonsillitis. They prescribed and antibiotic which I hear has about a 1 in 3 chance of working. Good news is it's not as easy to catch as the flu so I was able to come home. He is so miserable and can barely eat or drink and his airway is close to being blocked. I'm giving him 3 days on the meds then we're going back, unless of course he gets worse first.

As far as baby stuff goes, I can definitely say I can feel the baby moving now. Similar movements to what I was feeling before, but I guess you could say they're a little longer and stronger now. A couple groups of friends are planning showers for me. I didn't think I would need 2 since I don't have a large amount of friends and family, but it will be more convenient for the guests since I have about an equal amount of friends close to Pittsburgh where I used to live/currently work, and about an hour NE where I currently live.

Hope everyone else is ok.... not many posts while I was away.

I'm having a bouncing BOY!

He has 2 kidneys thank God but my waters are still trickling. They determined I did have a PROM at 14 weeks so am now resting as much as I can. He's doing so well in there though and he's perfectly on target for growth

 

[rducky]

Harli, sorry DH is sick...sounds miserable. I hope you don't catch it. At least he's on the meds now.

Sequeena, Congrats on team blue! Did the doctors tell you anything to do that could increase amniotic fluid?

As for me, I'm feeling slight movements that I think could be the baby. I have an anterior placenta and I think it's really padding some of the movements of the baby. When we had the scan, the baby was moving a lot and the doctor was a bit surprised that I couldn't feel it.
Two of my friends are planning a shower for me together. I think it will be in May some time. I just hosted a baby shower for a friend this weekend. She's due May 7th, so only about 8-9 weeks left for her.
I got great news yesterday. I am officially being put off work next Friday, March 18th. I will be put on preventive leave because of my job being dangerous for pregnancy. So, I have only 6 more shifts to work!

 

[sequeena]

I'm to rest as much as I can and drink, but not drink so much as that can be bad for you apparently. So am keeping it to 1-2 litres a day.

 

[flyingduster]

Sorry I haven't been posting much, my internet at home is being a PITA. lol!!

I'm doing good though, I'm just coming to 9 weeks tomorrow!!! My energy is improving and the nausea is easing already, but instead my boobs are on fire! lmao!!

 

[Sideways 8]

hi everyone, just dropping in to say hello and that I'm still alive although I feel like barely. Still pretty sick... I'll be back more regularly when I feel better. Please keep the prayers coming!

 

[flyingduster]

thinking and praying for you hun....

 

[rducky]

Hi Girls!

How's everyone doing?

I am having random episodes of sickness, but not everyday, so I'm doing ok. Getting ready right now to go to work. Two shifts left after today! Can you tell I'm getting excited?

 

[Sideways 8]

rducky, sorry you're getting sick again!!

I'm slowly getting better. Today is a good day. A really good day. This can only mean that tomorrow will be horrid! It usually works out that way.

 

[rducky]

Sideways, I started to feel consistently better at around 15 weeks. Hang in there!

 

[Sideways 8]

ugh I can't imagine 5 more weeks of this lol. but if it's as infrequent as it is now, I think I can manage (I think). If it were 5 more weeks of how I felt earlier, I think I would just want to crawl into a hole and die!!

I keep hearing horror stories from folks... about how their friend of a friend (or whoever) had extreme nausea throughout the whole pregnancy... why on EARTH do people feel compelled to share stuff like that? and make me worry?? *especially* to someone who's pregnant with their first? sheesh.

 

[flyingduster]

rducky, I'm so sorry your'e still getting sickness! Ugh! But yay for only 2 more shifts!!!!

Sideways I TOTALLY agree about the MS thing. I've had so many people tell me how they had NO morning sickness, and others say they were really sick for their whole pregnancy. UGH! I know I've been *so* lucky with only nausea, but still....


AFM, my nausea has been easing off nicely for well over a week now. Except this morning I vomited for the first time... lol! But otherwise I'm not feeling too bad, it's just a bit of a waiting game! 3 weeks now until my first scan!!!
