PAL after Recurrent Losses - come join us!

My completely untrained eye says scrotum... I vote blue.

Hey ladies, just got back from our gender scan.... TWO boys! We're thinking they may be identical cause they are sharing a placenta.. Here's some pics:

Florida. Lush pics

 

[heart tree]

Florida, those are great pics! Congrats on double team blue! Identical twins will be so much fun!

 

[croydongirl]

Florida - Congrats!! Precious pics

Pup - I wish I had some idea for you - The doctor had to very specifically show me our boys parts, even though she and everyone else said how obvious it was! I am the worst at reading scans. I am proud of you for not giving in and finding out! I just don't think I could have done that!

Heart - how's the couch today? I have been on mine for a while, hubby left this morning and I am in mourning! I have girls friends coming to stay the next few nights so it will be fun, and means I have some bathroom cleaning and bed making to get to later, but for now I am sitting on my couch and doing a whole lot of nothing except researching newborn photographers in the area. A girl can plan, right?!

Florida, they are gorgeous! Identicals would be so much fun, too!

Pups, I have no idea It was really obvious with ducky's willy but it was a shot from a different direction (from below).
I keep thinking that if there is a leg in the picture and the scan takes a slice image through the baby then we can't be seeing leg and willy in the same picture. At least not when slicing that way through.
However, you think you saw bits during the scan. That is much more revealing. I'm going to go with your judgement and say boy. You should hopefully be able to tell a willy from the umbilical cord

Mom, fingers still crossed for you!

Heart, apologies for absence... I was hugging my new pillow again

 

[heart tree]

Croy, the couch is fine. I'm working again today so am on the phone a lot. It definitely helps pass the time without having to watch too much TV. Don't get me wrong, I love TV. But it can get old really fast.

Yesterday I had two calls back to back that were very intense and both lasted for an hour each. I was pretty drained by the end. Some of the stories I hear make me so thankful for the blessings I have in my life.

Sorry your husband is gone. I know how hard that is for you. It's really neat that your girls are coming over though! I hope you plan to eat lots of junk food and talk about boys!

Sounds like you have a well deserved day on the couch. After all that school work while being pregnant and getting scans, you have more than earned your lazy day!

 

[heart tree]

Jealous of the pillow Pip! Do you have a king size bed? How do you fit the pillow in bed with yourself and DH? And the cat? I read in your journal that your cat rolled off the pillow this morning!

 

[petitpas]

Mommag, the other ladies have already said all the right stuff and given you the link to a life-saving thread. If it hadn't been for that thread I wouldn't have been able to continue or even had the information to help ducky survive.

Going through a third loss is so awful but at the same time this little baby is giving its life to unlock all the testing and help you might need for a score of happy healthy siblings to be born. There is much hope and much that can be done to help you. Most of us are on a cocktail of medications, a number of us had children before coming up against a wall.

I can totally relate to your husband wanting to stop. I almost did myself at one point when I saw no hope. But hopefully, by going through the testing process and getting a plan from your FS (which can also include assisted conception) your husband will see that there is hope out there.
I know that for my husband and myself having a plan B and even a plan C gave us the strength to try again.

Wishing you all the best, hon

Heart, we have a king. DH did complain last night that he was sleeping on the edge of the bed but I checked and laughed ay him because I lie on the equivalent of that every night. In fact, he still had half the bed! He's just used to having more

The pillow I have is not too fat and very light and squishy (some microfiber, I suspect - I haven't checked). So he can come closer if he wants to.

Yes, the cat incident made us laugh, too. She's had loads of cuddles to make up for it, though. She's lying beside me right now as we just took a nap together.

We have a queen unfortunately. No room for a king. Not sure a big U pillow is in my future. But a pregnant woman reserves the right to change her mind and to kick her husband out of bed and onto the couch!

 

[croydongirl]

I have the U shaped pillow too, I think Hopeful and I have the same one. It is big but I have slept one million times better since having it. It supports me so I don't sleep on my back which helps me relax at night.

Hubby thinks its funny that now when we snuggle he is actually snuggling the pillow way more than me. It is squishy though, we do have a king sized bed and there is room for all of us! ha ha! Not sure I am going to want to give it up after I am done being pregnant!

 

[hopeful23456]

need to check out puppy's journal pics, right now i have no clue!

florida- congrats on 2 boys! identical would be so cool!

croy - i have the comfort U body pillow, LOVE it, in a king size bed. heart - look into it, it's super soft to the touch and just enough density to hold up.

just had chipotle and SO full. i can't believe how busy that place always is, and how much money it makes.

 

[hopeful23456]

posted in your journal too: puppy - gorgeous pics! I vote boy but I don't see any parts for girl or boy, they are hidden!

 

[heart tree]

Hopeful, I live right across the street from a Chipotle. Dangerous! Think I'm going to get some this weekend. Yum.

 

[croydongirl]

Hopeful - I loved Chipotle, but it was what we at a lot when i was newly pregnant because Jeremy would pick it up on the way home from work so I didn't have to cook. Sadly, i think it might be a while before I can eat Mexican food, especially there. Sad day!

Heart - another preggy friend of mine has a pillow that she loves, its like a bean shape almost. Smaller than the U because she and her hubby only have a double bed. She loves it.

 

[bumpyplease]

Congrats on great scans puppy and Florida! 2 identical boys Florida how precious!
Pups I'm useless at stuff like this so I'm guessing........a baby!!!!!!
Sara good luck for tomorrow Hun! It's early days but fingers crossed you see something!
Jen great news on the carpet! Davies a few years ago my friend was preg over summer and she loves tanning but towards the end she got quite big and could only sunbathe on her back as couldn't lie on her front so she ended up getting really brown on one side and had to put fake tan on the other side!!!!!!
Hi heart, Croydon, hopeful, mom2, tracie and everyone else!
Oh heart my next scan is 5th not 15th would you mind updating front page for me?

 

[croydongirl]

oh my goodness - I LOVE newborn pictures but they are so expensive. I can't decide if it's worth it. They are only that little for such a short time, and not knowing if this will be our only biological child makes me want to bite the bullet but its a lot of money. Will you guys be getting them taken?

Check out this newborn 'fresh' gallery. It's just one of many, many, many I have been going through today.

[heart tree]

Updated the front page for you Bumpy.

Does anyone else have scans coming up? I haven't been as good at updating. Let me know.

Croy, I'm in love with these photos. I started looking into pregnancy photos, but they are expensive. I have a good 35mm camera. I might buy some good film and try to have my husband take some preggo photos of me. He has a good eye. Then maybe I'll dish out for some newborn photos.

 

[puppycat]

Thanks for the comments girls.

Can I ask another favour?

If you can find links for the pillows you have I'd love to see them. I want one to sleep with now but BF with when baby arrives but want one I know people like and have used
