pregnancy & text buddy- aug 2010

[dizzy65]

i was the exact same way, like i new everything was ok, ive had a fairly easy pregnancy, symptoms wernt to bad, no bleeding no bad cramping nothing that would give me the idea of a m/c or a mmc but i new i would feel so much better once i saw baby in there and it would seem so much more real which it did and when everything worked out i was just so excited i new this one was a fighter, i was just so relieved when he said that it was happy and healthy and squirmin around at 13 weeks 3 days. Your going to be so happy to be able to finally hear the little one that is growing inside of you. probably one of the best moments and the biggest sigh of relieve other than when baby is born that will be huge!!

I know what you mean i would feel bad not to send them to everyone. thats good thou to send them to people u are closest too thats awesome you got them all in the mail now you can start on sending them out after you appointment of course. but you can start wrighting on the now hehe.

I know, im less picky now them b4 i got pregnant but now that i dont like going into resteraunts OH gets really frusterated like my absolutly NO fast food rule gets him upset as when we have our 14 hour trip he likes to stop for something quick but now iguess ill just bring veggies to snack on

Haha yeah no doubt, my parents are already starting on talking about how spoiled the kid is going to be im like oh my.. haha .. the only thing im afraid of about the holidays is where are we going to spend them now that we cant really split up haha i guess half with OH's family and half with mine..

No doubt haha. it will be here sooner than you know it than you will be wanting it back just to here LO again.

Ah that sucks, oh the joys of pregnancy.. Hopefully it clears up soon. My newest symptom is a rash on my leg.. and it is very painful..

 

[QueSeraSera]

yea...i wonder why we needlessly worry like we do...i guess it just has to do with the not knowing and the uncertainty of everything. i will be a huge relief tomorrow, but nothing like the actual giving birth and knowing the baby made it through the whole thing okay. ive been reading some of the birth stories on this forum over the past few days and oh my...they seem terrifying and amazing all at the same time. its this weird feeling like im dreading it kind of cause i know its going to hurt, but at the same time i cant wait because i know its going to be one of the most amazing things i ever do.

haha! i started writing the cards last night in class. i just put them in my notebook and it looked like i was taking notes. hehe...i was totally sneaky about it. its just so hard to focus in class when i have much more interesting baby things to be thinking about

yea my DH likes to eat fast food too when were on the go, but ive pretty much put a stop to that. he gets frustrated sometime but then he realizes its for the baby. what he hates is when were out and i complain about being hungry, but then i say no to fast food. haha...he makes me carry around snacks all the time now.

holidays for us are going to be weird too. theres my parents, DHs mom and DHs dad and stepmom. but hes not super close to his dad, and his mom hates me for absolutely no reason. so that pretty much narrows it down to my family. mostly we have holidays on our own though, since its so hard to fly back to the mainland.

i know! im totally going to be wanting to go in every day...thats why im gonna record the sound. that way i can share it with people and i can listen to it whenever i want to! thatll help me get through the 8 weeks wait until the ultrasound! lol

ick a rash doesnt sound fun at all! fingers crossed that it clears up soon!

oh, and congrats on 14 weeks today!! hooray!

 

[dizzy65]

when we are at the end of this we will probably look back on all the hours spent worrying and laugh !! im sort of nervous for labour and having to give birth but i think that if we have good doctors and great support it will be fine. I think im going to do it with out an epidural but thats just what i thinking now. by then when its actually happening ill probably change my mind. i told OH that too that i want to do it natural but then i might change my mind when we get there haha. I think giving birth will be one of the scariest things we will ever have to do buy one of the most wonderful. I just hope that there are no complications or anything that will tarnish my memory of the day i became a mom

haha nice. it is hard to think about anything else but baby stuff, when i lay down and close my eyes i just keep thinking about 6 months an ill be able to hold baby in my arms and i will know its safe and healthy and that i wont loose it. These 6 months are going to drag by i just know it as im waiting for something at the end of these 6 months

haha i do that to my OH too we will be in town and ill be like im so hungry and he'll b like ok where you want to eat and i say i dont no but no fast food and he just rolls his eyes like ya but everything is fast food haha. I think he will be happy when i can eat fast food again .

Oh yeah true. we will be living by both of our families so itsgoing to make it hard. OH never sees his mom on holidays so that makes it easier. But i think what we will do for like christmas is spend half of the day with OH's dad and my parents or something as they both want to spend christmas with us it will be hard but we will figure it out hehe. its the first yearthat we have actaully spent a holiday like christmas together as a family

That is a good idea haha. Its like me with my pics just constantly looking at them to see baby i miss it so much. but at my next ultra sound there will be more to see im so excited forthat hehe before you know it it will be time for you to go for your ultra sound

thanks i hope so too

thanks, im getting closer to my 20 week scan hehe not by much but still im so excited. and when i come back from my parents place (im spending a month there) it will be like a week and a half left tell my ultra sound yay!!

this summer in August my family is having my grandma's 80th birthday party and im so nervous as its when i have 3 weeks left of my pregnancy i was thinking oh no what if i went into labour there is going to be so many people there people i havent even met before im soo nervous

 

[QueSeraSera]

i know...all this worry is just silly sometimes, but knowing that doesnt make it any easier to actually stop doing it! lol. the labor thing, though, deserves worry...because thats just kinda scary. i want to do it without an epidural too, but im thinking at the last minute i may change my mind. i mean, if its as painful as everyone says it is...i might be begging for medication! lol. im just keeping my fingers crossed that im like those lucky ladies and i have a super easy birth. hah...probably wishful thinking.

yea it just seems like the time is going to drag by, but when the baby is finally here we will probably look back and think that the whole thing just flew by. i keep having these dreams that the baby is already here and then i wake up all excited and realize i still have months yet to go. soon ehough though, and at the end of the long wait we will have our babies to finally hold close

my cousin lives near both our family and her DHs family back in my home town...they have 4 kids and every holiday is crazy. they pretty much celebrate everything twice. they have christmas eve afternoon with her DHs fam and then christmas eve dinner with our fam and then christmas day just with themselves. same thing with things like new years and 4th of july...theyll do a lunch BBQ with his fam and then dinner with ours. its a lot, but it keeps everyone happy i suppose. somehow those things always work out in the end it will definitely be exciting though, your first year as a family!

i cant wait for the ultrasound! man its going to be so exciting to have some pictures of the LO! but for right now i just cant stop thinking about hearing the little heartbeat tomorrow...in 29 hours, to be exact! the fact that youre going back to stay with your parents will probably make the time until your next ultrasound go by so fast! youll be getting to go through all of the baby stuff and share stories and such...the next ultrasound will get here so quick!

thats awesome about your grandma. we did a big thing like that for my grandpa this past october. i wasnt huge preggo at the time though and it was more of a drinking and telling stories sort of thing, but im sure it will be great. and because youll be so close to popping everyone will probably be rubbing your belly and asking you questions about the baby. that would be pretty crazy if you went into labor then though...hopefully the little bean holds out a little closer to the EDD so that doesnt happen.

 

[dizzy65]

i know its like sometimes we are just putting stress on our selves for no reason just because we are scared! it is crazy, but in the end it will all work out. im so nervous about the pain and stuff of labour. Im hoping for an easy one too, but nothing in my life has been easy so this wont be any differant ! haha oh well. al the pain is worth it to be holding that baby in my arms. I would go threw any thing to just be able to have my baby, and in the long run it will totally all be worth it. I think near to the end ill probably be screaming for relief but i hope i can be strong an hold out haha. OH says he dont wana see me in pain but pfft oh well lol

I totally know what you mean i have those same dreams too and i wake up like i have to change a diaper or something and when i wake up im like awwe im only 14 weeks i still have so much time tell i get to meet bean. I cant wait thou for that day to come. i hope these dreams of baby stop because they are making thedays seem to drag on haha.

Holy! thats like my uncle they celebrated everything twice once they had there baby. I think OH's dads house is big enough that if we really wanted to we could all spend christmas and birthdays and all that stuff at his place, with both of our families. he lives in a 6 bed room house and its just him living there so there is some extra rooms haha and my family isnt that big either. But this christmas my cousins are coming down to BC from winnapeg so i want to spend christmas down there so i can see them, they had there first baby last august.

haha wow its getting so close that is so exciting. tomorrow you will be so happy. like on cloud 9 all day getting to hear your beautiful baby.. than it will just be a matter of time before you can go in for your ultra sound i hope so i want time to go by fast i wana see bean again my parents have already been telling me stories my mum has been telling me stories about when she was pregnant with me and that sort of stuff. i think they are excited.

Oh awesome. Its going to be a huge celebration im so nervous for it i dont want to go into labour so i guess me and bean are going to have to have a discussion on him/her staying in there and not wanting tocome join the party! i would be so panicked if i went into labour in front of everyone especially if my water broke!

My baby is as big as a fist now! when i first read that in the baby email i was like what its as big as a fish?? haha then i re read it i was like oops prego brain haha

 

[QueSeraSera]

my DH thinks im crazy for even considering labor without medication. but i want to do it the most natural way possible. but we will see when it comes down to it. my mom says that the medication helps you have more strength when it comes to the pushing part, so you dont get worn out on contractions. but i think im going to be worn out with or without medication...i mean we are pushing something the size of a watermelon out of an area much much smaller than a watermelon...thats gonna take a lot of work and be tiring no matter what! lol

the dreams are really weird right, but i agree that i hope they stop...because it is kind of a let down waking up all the time and thinking the baby is here and then realizing its still so far away!


that is a huge house for someone who lives alone! you are definitely set for if you want to have combined family holidays, seems like that place would have more than enough room for everyone! i dont blame you for wanting to see your cousins though...you guys can trade parenting stories and im sure they would really enjoy seeing your new LO. my mom already wants us to come to my hometown for christmas, im not sure though...the baby will only be a few months old at that point and a 8 hour flight with an infant seems like it might be too much. but at the same time, i really want to go!

aww thats so cool that your parents are so excited. mine are too and it makes me feel so happy that theyre supportive. i know some parents are judgemental when their kids get pregnant, like its the wrong time or things like that. im so glad that mine arent like that. this pregnancy thing is so emotional and such a strange thing for our bodies, we need all the support and excitement we can get!

gosh i am nervous about the water breaking thing. i really hope it doesnt happen in a public place...i would be so embarassed! lol. it seems like a lot of women it doesnt end up happening until theyre at the hospital already though. if it doesn happen at home or somewhere else, im sure ill be so shocked i just wont know what to do. heh :-/

haha...thats totally something i would do. i seem to be making so many silly errors like that lately. your baby is getting so big though! ahh how exciting!

 

[dizzy65]

I know what you mean my OH keeps asking me if im sure iwant to do it with out an epidural. we were talking to night and i said if im doing this thing with out pain meds that i want it to be a fast labour and a quick delievery as to get the pain over as fast as possible! haha but that will never happen. OH just laughed. If im in labour for something stupid like 14 hours orsomething i think i will end up taking sum just so i can sleep for a bit and be ready to push when its time. I want to have enough energy for this. Ah thinking about pushing a water melon out that is so scarey i never thought of how big the baby is going to be. and you are right where it comes out is much smaller than that, ahh scarey!

I get such weird pregnant dreams like about so many differant things, like last night i had a dream about Harry potter, i dont remember much of it, but i remember that we were running from volidemort and then Harry said that he would stop trying to kil me if i told him i loved him, i woke up like wtf was that about?? haha i dont no if uve ever watched harry potter before..

I hope you get to spend christmas with your family, that will be really special for you. i dont no what age you are able to fly at. as during the winter time i want LO, OH and me to fly up here and see him family and stuff i dont want to take a 14 hour drive with a baby, no thank you. haha.. We will see what happens thou, i hope for christmas OH's mom decides she wants to come to B.C for christmas

I know ive seen that some parents are so very judgment especially if they figure there child is too young to be having a baby i thought my parents would be like that but they were totally okay with it. They were in shock of course but its ok. Most parents are, im happy my parents were supportive and happy about baby

Ooh i know its going to be so bad if water breaks in like a store or something, id be like i didnt pee my self honestly lol. Or hopefully it breaks over the toilet or something. Im so nervous about it but hopefully i just go into labour w.o my water breaking

haha i know . its crazy.. Baby is gettin so big, its makin me nervous lol

 

[QueSeraSera]

yea i keep reading these labor stories and some of them are only a few hours and some of them are like 30 hours. im pretty sure if im in labor for over a day, i will probably give in and take the epidural. im not going to kill myself just to be able to say that i didnt have medication. i guess well see when it gets here. as of right now i cant even comprehend how painful its going to be. i might be begging for medication like 10 minutes into it for all i know!

haha. i read the harry potter books...like the first 3 or so. thats a funny dream! its strange that pregnancy causes weird dreams. usually i cant remember my dreams but lately they have been so strange or realistic that theyve been sticking with me when i wake up. last night i dreamt that i was walking the baby to to the store for some groceries. and then when we got there, it wasnt a grocery anymore. so we started walking to the next closest one, but when we got there it wasnt a grocery anymore. so we kept walking and this kept walking and by the end we had walked all the way around the island and i was tired and dehydrated and the baby was crying and i still hadnt gotten to the store. it was very strange...and kinda frustrating! lol

i think babies can fly pretty soon after birth...like a couple of weeks. my brother and his gf brought their newborn to our wedding and they flew when the baby was only like 10 weeks old. the doc wasnt concerned, he was more concerned about the mom cause she had a c-section. so i dont think that will be a problem. im concerned for us just because its such a long flight. and with a newborn and an almost 4-year old. could be a disaster. but it would probably be worth it to see everyone. i hope everything works out for your christmas too and everyone can be together and get to spend it with the new baby

yea some parents like disown their kids over things like this. i guess i cant really know what it feels like to have you kid be pregnant and you think its wrong. i could see maybe being disappointed if you thought they were too young or something...but never go so far as stopping talking to them or disowning them. some people take things way too far! lol

haha! thats what im hoping! that the water breaks on the toilet...i dont want to have to clean that up out of the couch or the bed or something! lol. best would be for it to just happen at the hospital though i think.

i know its crazy how fast the beans are growing. cant wait for my update tomorrow to see how big the LO has grown to this week! haha. i look forward to it every week.

 

[dizzy65]

So sorry for the late reply. OH and i traveled back to BC yesterday and when i got here i just had to go to sleep as i was violently ill and had been throwing up the whole way from Alberta to here, haha poor OH. I up-chucked all over his jeep. How did your heart beat thing go im dieing to know!

I think you are right we wont know how painful its going to be tell its happening i just keep hoping to my self oh its not going to be that bad i think i can go with out medician, but lately ive got a very low threshhold for pain so i will probably be begging for the epidural as soon as i get there haha. its going to be crazy i cant wait thou tell i have my own labour and birth story to right... But i am hoping i dialate pretty quick as i dont want to be in labour for like a day, and not be able to push when the time comes and have to have an emergancey c-section or something.

I dont usually remember my dreams either but lately they have been so vivid that i can remember a good portion of them, and its crazy i didnt believe how bad pregnancy dreams were until i started having them my self. Wow! thats sounds like a interesting dream and very frusterating indeed, thank goodness it was just a dream thou eh? hehe. I didnt have any dreams last night i dont even remember falling asleep last night haha

Ah thats good to know, i didnt know if they would be able to. but now i know i guess we can fly up to OH's moms place in decemember. It might be ok thou taking that flight its just that baby might not like it and be crying all the time and pooping and all that fun stuff. You are right thou it is a pretty long trip! But im sure you guys could do it, i it didnt cost you an arm and a leg to get there. im sure your family would love to see you Thanks me too, its going to be a good christmas i think, andi think bean is going to get so spoiled hehe

Yes i know what you mean icouldnt imagin one ofthe happiest days of my life and i tell my parents and they disown me that would be horribal. thats why im glad my parents would never be like that. I've read some teens that got pregnant at like 14-15 and there parents kicked them out of the house, its llike woah thats a little harsh.

i think your right its just best it breaks at the hospital. i also dont want to have to clean up the mess of my water breaking on the couch or something haha

haha me too and the babies are getting so big now. wow your 12 weeks yay congrats thats so excited your out of the danger zone now

 

[QueSeraSera]

oh my gosh. you poor thing! that sounds like a difficult trip for sure! i hope youre feeling better today! i wonder if it was the car ride that made you sick or have you just been feeling ill in general? at least you got the trip out of the way though and now dont have to worry about making it again for like a month!

the heartbeat exam was the most awesome and terrifying thing ever! we went in and she did the internal exam and everything, which is never fun. but totally worth going through just to hear the baby. so she pulls out the doppler and squirts the icky jelly onto my belly and starts moving it around slowly. she kept saying "thats your heartbeat" and "no thats not the baby either" every time we would hear something. so i was starting to think...okay, now just find it already! and then she asked me if i had had any cramping or bleeding. and so i started to panic and said "no! none! just normal cramping that they totally me was just stretching pains!" and so she keeps moving the thing around and then all of the sudden shes lie "oh! did you hear it?!" and im looking at DH and hes smiling and theyre both looking at me and im like "no! i didnt hear it!! you have to find it again. i didnt hear it. i cant leave without hearing it!" and so DH is rubbing my hand and saying calm down and finally she found it again and the baby stayed still so we got to hear it for a good 10-15 seconds straight. it was the most relieving, amazing sound in the world! youre so right, it makes everything so much more real. and i can still hear the sound over and over in my head. she said the reason it was hard to find is that the baby is very active and wouldnt stay still but that they heartbeat is strong. so i feel tons better after the appointment. but it was stressful there for a few minutes. lol

i so know what you mean! last night i stubbed my toe on a chair and i was like hopping around and saying how bad it hurt. and DH just looked at me and said "you do realize that in 7 months youre going to be pushing a baby out of your body, right?" and that put the toe pain into perspective for sure! lol. probably best not to think about the labor pain for now! lol

last night i had a dream that we were at the circus and the baby was performing the flying trapeze! haha...i think it was because of the appointment and how active the baby was. i keep thinking of it in there doing cartwheels and sommersaults! lol. these vivid dreams though...theyre crazy. i never understood what pregnant women meant when they said pregnancy causes strange dreams.

i pitched the chrsitmas idea to DH. i thought we could go to colorado to see my family and then, because its not too much from there, we could go to florida so his dad could see the baby and my stepson. so we are considering it and hopefully we will be able to afford it after the baby arrives

yea some parents can be harsh about teenage pregnancy. i dont understand what kicking a kid out is going to do...this is a time when they need the most love and support! an setting them on their own could only get them into more trouble...they dont have money or a place to stay. silly parents.

12 weeks feels so good. i love making it to the next week. an especially this one, because now it makes me feel like the little bubs is strong and holding on. and the baby is the size of a plum this week!

 

[dizzy65]

It was a horrid trip. I woke up at 2:30AM and i was throwing up (i no longer eat pizza or mini eggs) I woke OH up at about 3:00AM telling him that i think i got food posing because of the pizza made me sick and then i was like Or it was just a pregnancy thing and he told me that my pregnancy probably didnt agree with sumthing on the pizza as everyone ate the pizza and didnt get sick. But i was throwing up about ever 20 min since 2:30AM yesterday, at one point i was yelling into the toilet i said "theres nothing left in there so would you just stop!!!" OH just stood there and watched. When i first went and threw up i was in the bathroom for 1/2 hour, and when i was done i was so weak i couldnteven get up. and by 8:15Am when we left i was so weak i couldnt even hold my water bottle by my self. Than at about 10:00AM I threw up all over the jeep and i kept appologising to OH but it was sort of funny, and i was like well on the plus side im feeling better. after that i didnt get sick until about 5:09PM.. i havent thrown up since then i just feel like getting sick.

ooh thats awesome. it sounds like you had a really good experiance. and that is good that bubs was active thats always a good sign i was terrified if i had to do an internal exam when i did my ultra sound but i didnt have to. Did you manage to record the sound of the heart beat? Thats so good to hear that it was nice and strong. something to hold on to until your 20 week scan i would be the same with you saying i dont want to leave until i hear the heartbeat, thats awesome thou thats good being about to hear it for 10-15 seconds that must of been the most amazing experinace ever.. and its awesome they could find it and didnt need to take u into an ultra-sound. Ah i hated that jelly stuff when i got my ultrasound done, it felt so grose. i didnt no they had to do that when they were just looking for the heart beat! its nasty. Ah that would set me into panic too if the doc asked about cramping or bleeding haha. its good thou everything worked out now you no for sure that there is a baby in there hehe

haha nice. I dont no if ill be able to handle the pain but im sure it will totally all be worth it.

that sounds really intersting.. i was thinking about it and i sorta remember a dream i had last night, OH woke me up at the end of it and i rememeber telling him "i think people who make gas stations are retarted " haha I just remember going to all these diff gas stations and it was like a maze and it was hard to find one and i was goina throw up if we didnt get to one soon haha

that will be awesome if you guys have the money to do that, i hope it all works out for you guys, it will be a great experiance being able to go spend christmas with your family

I guess some parents think they are teaching there kids a leason or something but really they arent teaching there kids anything like that, i dont get it. there just showing there kids the wrong way to act when something doesnt go there way

ooh its getting big hehe, i know when i made it to 12 weeks it was such a sigh of relief because it felt like bubs was here to stay and was fightin and i just relised too you are out of the 200 day mark yay

 

[QueSeraSera]

oh man that does sound pretty horrible. it must have just been that the baby didnt like the pizza or something, since nobody else got sick! im glad youre feeling better, but im sorry that you had to go through that. i used to have stomach issues in my teens and i would get days where i would throw up nonstop, even when there was nothing left to throw up. thats always the worst and it just wears you out physically. at least it seems to be over now and can just rest at your parents place and get your strength back up! i would agree though, probably best to stay away from the pizza for now on. lol

i didnt get to record the heartbeat. i tried, but the camera didnt pick it up very well. it all just sounds like white noise. so that kind of sucks, but at least i got to hear it! it was pretty amazing...it made it all real and i was just kind of in awe that that was coming from the baby inside of me. i kind of want to buy one of the at home dopplers now and see if i can find it myself. but, with as much trouble as the nurse had, i think it could turn into a waste. or maybe it would just be better later on when the baby is a little bigger

its crazy that we have these strange dreams based on the day! your trying to find a bathroom is kinda like my trying to get to the grocery! ahhh...frustration! lol. i wonder if these dreams last the entire pregnancy or if its just something early on. its so strange!

yea im excited for christmas now. if we can pull it off, it would be a very nice holiday. and its still far away so we have some time to save up for it.

i know! this has been a big week! got under the 200 mark, heard the heartbeat, and also reached 12 weeks to feel safer about the pregnancy. hooray! it seems like this weeks calls for a celebratory glass of...water!

 

[dizzy65]

it was horrid, am glad its all over with for now. i just feel a little bit natious. But that should go away, im still afraid to eat anything as when i tried to eat i threw up, i have eaten a bit today, but then started feeling queezy again so i just have been eating little bits here and there. i read in a book today that some women's morning sickness can start up in the second tri. i really hope thats not the case for me as i really hate throwing up, especially when there is nothing in the tummy to throw up that hurts so bad.

I wanted to get one of those dopplers for at home too, but not tell the baby is a bit older as it right now is really active and i probably wouldnt be able to get the heart beat. It sucks you didnt get to record the heart beat, but that doesnt take away from how exciting your experiance was and how memoriable it was. and you will always have those memories. And in a couple of months you will have your ultra sound picture, yay. that will be great and you will know the gender too, thats going to be a big day for u you must be excited, its only 8 weeks or so away now for u how often do you get to go in to hear the heart beat?

It is really strange. i really am starting to wonder how long these dreams are going to last for some times they can be really freaky and strange and not make any sence at all, soo annoying. and frusterating.

it would be a great holiday for you guys and the new baby, and then the baby will probably be really spoiled hehe and there will be lotsa photos taken

Wow you had a lot going on this week thats awesome. 12 weeks down 28 to go hehe. 12 weeks was a huge mile stone for me.. i cant wait tell week 20 thou when i get to do my ultra sound andsee that baby made it to 20 weeks. and at 20 weeks i should be getting bigger kicks

 

[QueSeraSera]

i heard that about the morning sickness too! thats why ive been cautious about saying i havent had any...i dont wanna jinx myself. it seems like it would be worse in the later months too as your belly is getting bigger. keeping my fingers crossed that it doesnt come. when i got home tonight DH had made pizza. and now im a little nervous after your story! but i had to eat it, cause he had went through all the trouble of making it!

yea at first i was kinda bummed that i didnt get to record it, but it was still amazing as a memory. and they do the heartbeat at every appointment, so i can try again in 4 weeks too. and then it will only be 4 ore weeks until the ultrasound! i cant wait for those pictures of the bean!

i looked it up today and the dreams thing is very normal. and i think it can last the whole pregnancy because its due to our heightened amount of hormones. at least now mine are mostly silly or funny, but in the beginning they were more like nightmares and i didnt like those one bit!!

oh my we are gonna need to buy stock in photo albums. between me and DH, and then my mom, and grandma, and cousins and then DHs family...this is going to be a highly photographed child for sure! we certainly wont have any major moments left undocumented! hopefully we can get a lot on the video cameras were both gonna get too! (im pulling for us to each get one, we NEED them!)

oh by 20 weeks i bet the kicking will be so strong. youre already getting close! and 20 weeks is a big milestone too because we will be halfway there. im sure that will be so nice to say. and then 24 weeks is reaching viability. so many milestones to look forward too! lol

 

[dizzy65]

it really does suck when it comes as you think you are fine then boom you are so sick it sucks so bad. FIL last night said something about pizza bread and i was like "NO PIZZA" haha and its like "but its not pizza, its pizza bread" i was like "you know what i really dont care as it still tastes like pizza" haha.. yeah i wont even talk about pizza know it makes me feel sick just thinking about it, blah and i used to love pizza. I think the feelin sick part is just about gone away for now fingers crosssed i still feel a little nautious but that will probably last for a while.

ya just something to hold on too until you get to see the little one on the screen in about 8 weeks i cant wait tell my 20 week ultra sound which is in 6 weeks exacly yay im so excited to b able to go to that ultra sound there will be more to see then.

I've herd dreams like this are very common. when it first started for me too they were night mares but now they are just odd and creepy. its hard to explain a lot of my dreams. some are funny i dont have the night mare dreams very much any more thank good ness

haha my baby too will be so photo graphed.. I wil have like so many pictures on facebook and stuff like that of the little one. I think no matter where we go as everyone has digi's that ever one is going to want to be taking pics of the baby we are going to have to have tons and tons of photo albums too haha.

Yes thats the one mile stone i cant wait to get to i just want to get to that one and have my ultra sound and know bean made it all the way to 20weeks that will be a great day Yes then after 24 weeks i will be super excited to reach 30, then 35 and so on haha i just cant wait tell bean is considered full term

i cant really blame you on that one. a trip like that would scar me about any food i had eaten in the recent past for sure! it does really suck that it was a food like you liked though! i ended up eating the pizza last night and i didnt get sick, thankfully! it really must have been something that just reacted abdly with yout tummy. if, in a couple years, you try to give the LO pizza and s/he doesnt like it...then youll know thats what the problem was!

6 more weeks! that is so gonna fly by so fast and be here before you know it! the pictures then are going to be really detailed and, i cant remember what you guys are doing, but if you decide you want to know if its a boy or a girl, they can probably tell you at that point! so exciting! i was just looking at your ticker and its hard to believe that youre already at 14+3...it seems like it was only yesterday i was congratulating you on reaching 12! even though the days seem to go by slow the time in general is really going pretty fast.

last night i had a dream that we went to vegas to visit family for christmas and then we went to florida to go to disney world! i have no idea where that dream came from, but it seemed really fun! and now im trying to talk DH into planning a trip like that for this christmas!! i love disneyworld, and my stepson would be nearly four...so hed be big enough for some of the rides. oh i think it would be a blast. obviously we would have to go again when the baby is bigger cause at 3 months the LO wouldnt remember it at all. lol

haha! funny that you say that because im pretty sure that my friends are already getting tired of the baby updates on facebook. and its only gonna get worse when the baby gets here and we are taking pictures! ill probably have like a million photo albums on there! my mom will love it though because shell be able to steal them all off of my page

basically we both cant wait until the babies get here! the first kick is exciting, and then the 20 weeks mark, and 24 week viability, and 30 weeks 3/4 of the way there, and then 35....but the most exciting part will be when we can finally hold the baby in our arms!

yes for sure. i think pizza is pretty bad for us any way well like pizza from resteraunts with all that greese and fat probably isnt very good for baby maybe thats what did it was all the greese and fat off the pizza im really not sure. but i know now not to eat pizza tell im not pregnant any more maybe i wont eat pizza after that! haha. I dont even want pizza sub's from subway right now.. You are so lucky you didnt get sick, was it a pizza your DH made or had boughten? Fingers crossed for you that you dont get the same thing i had, or wont for the remainder of your pregnancy, it really does suck feeling like that.

We are going keep it on team yellow i think which is going to be hard haha because as it gets closer and closer to the 20 week mark i just keep wantng to know if its a little boy or a little girl. but it will be good but only 6 weeks yay.. and then 8 weeks and you will get to see your little one for the first time ahh how exciting and thanks i know it seems only yesterday i was only 12 weeks now im half way to 15 weeks hehe. and you are over 12 weeks now that is so crazy time sure is flyin buy even thou it feels like its draggin

Haha thats interesting. ive never been to disney world before. humm i dont remember what i had adream about i keep trying to think about it i remembered it when i woke up this morning but then i forgot about it again as i had a nap.. it was funny this morning i woke up a 6am ate went back to sleep woke up at 9am then ate and went back to sleep at 11am and woke up at 1pm haha

haha thats like me on facebook i have lots of updates and all that stuff on there about whats going on and how im feeling and all that sort of stuff. and talking like 6 weeks to go tell i see baby again. haha. but i have a lot of friends on thre that are pregnant or have been pregnant really recently

That is so true. it will be the biggest mile stone yet when we can actaully hold our babies in our arms i just cant wait.

yea youre right...pizza probably isnt the sort of food we should really be eating right now. maybe your body was telling you that! though i love the pizza subs at subway and now i sort of want one after i read that! my DH made the pizza last night, thats why i felt like i needed to eat it...even though i was nervous about it after your story! i hope i dont get sick like that either, and i hope you dont get sick again! im sure once was more than enough for this pregnancy... lol

yea i would find that really hard, but it will be a great surprise when the big day finally gets here! and it doesnt really matter anyway, so long as the baby is healthy. and youll get to see that for yourself in only 6 more weeks! hooray!

wow...you must have been exhausted. your probably still recovering from the long trip and the sickness...that must have really zapped all of your energy. i was exhausted today too and so i took a nap over my lunch break. i had to, otherwise i would have fallen asleep during my work hours for sure! i was going to try to work on my thesis tonight after work, but i think i might just be going to bed instead! lol

that cool that you have other pregnant friends on facebook. i only have one who just had a baby about 6 months ago. so shes really the only one who comments on the baby stuff. but i dont care, the baby is my life right now so im gonna keep on posting about it! lol

only 179 more days to go until you reach that milestone, and 195 for me. ahh...i am soooo looking forward to it!

i think whole made pizza probably is a whole lot better for you that fast food pizza. Thats so sweet your DH made you pizza. My OH used to make me stuff but now he is so afraid of making something for me thats going to make me throw up so he always asks me what he can make now hehe I used to love Pizza subs from subway thats the only kind of sub i would get but now even the thought of anything pizza related as me covering my mouth running to the bathroom. I hope that after this pregnancy is over i will be able to eat pizza again. I know i am prob better off with out it, but it really sucks to not be able to eat it!

yep thats all that matters is that baby is the right length and good heart beat and the right weight and that its basically just healthy all over i cant wait tell the scan pic is more detailed and we can see more. I mean the first time i saw baby odviously it was a baby but you couldnt really see anything just this little ball bouncin around haha there was no real feauters thats what im so looking forward to at my next scan, being able to see the legs and arms and all of that stuff

Ah it sucks being so exhausted all the time. I think tonight will probably be early tobed too i just right now feel i need all the rest i can get besides in about 6 months i wont be sleeping very much at all hehe

Yes apparently around where i came from getting pregnant young is what every one is doing haha so there is a lot of people all pregnant. which is cool any way there is lots of people to share the experiance with that knows what im going threw

i know its so crazy. it seems like so far away but it will probably come faster than we know it

i know, there are some things that i wouldnt mind getting sick on and giving up forever...but pizza is something i love to indulge in from time to time. even though its not the best for us! hopefully your aversion wont last too long and youll be able to stomach it after the baby comes! last night we made tacos and i felt so ill after. i didnt actually throw up, but i spent half of the night in the bathroom thinking i was going to. i never really liked tacos before, but now i really dont like them!

yea on the 20 week scan youll be able to see hands and fingers and toes and eyes and everything! it will be amazing to see all of that and get to know your baby a little bit better that way! counting down the days!

yea lately the exhaustion has been really bad. i thought that was supposed to go away a little in the second tri, but it seems like lately its actually worse! youre right though, probably shouldnt complain cause its going to be so much worse here in a couple months when we cant get comfortable and all that.

thats nice that you have a lot of people thats are pregnant and around your age. there are a lot of pregnant women here on base, but i dont have a lot of friends on base since im kind of new to the military life. i need to go out and make some pregnant friends! lol

so this morning we got woken by DHs ex ringing the bell at 530am. there was a tsunami warning for the island because of the earthquake in chile. she was worried about her son, naturally, and wanted to be near him. so we packed up some essentials and, since we live close to the water, headed up to higher ground with the dogs and everything. we spent the morning in the park with her, dyl and the dogs...kinda like a picnic. turned out that the waves were only 2-3 foot by the time they reached us and no cause for concern. now im so tired from waking up so early! lol. naptime i think!
