pregnancy & text buddy- aug 2010

haha thats the worst! we need to pee all the time but as soon as someone says we have to then we could go days without peeing! lol. at least we dont have to do it to terribly often...only when they need to do special checks. and hopefully that wont be too often! thats funny about your mom...no doubt youre gonna have a little rascal on your hands when the baby finally arrives!

yea and its a baby shower, someone else should plan it for you. you will have just had a baby! someone else should take on that responsibility for you i think its better with mostly family. im thinking i might go home in july to see my neice and nephew who i havent seen in almost a year. so then i might have one...it would mostly be family with a few select friends.

haha! you smacked him. ill warn my DH that my comatose-like sleep might get to the point where i hit him then. that way he will hopefully see it coming.

eeek...yea i think if i have to get stitches after a tear i will make my DH stay away from me...forever! lol. i just dont understand how you ever get over the trauma of that... so scary. fingers crossed that neither of us have to go through that!

did you like alice in wonderland? DH and i went on monday. we saw it in 3d and i really liked it. DH liked the 3d part, but not the story very much. i told him he was crazy cause that is the alice in wonderland story. he said "hmmm...maybe i just forgot that i never really liked the alice in wonderland story" lol. so silly. you bought a carseat! wow! thats an awesome first buy! you guys are offically preparing for baby's arrival...yay!

 

[dizzy65]

i know.. it sucked so bad i was sitting in there all you could probably hear from the bathroom was me i was singing i was like "ooh i really dont have to pee no i d font, hmm hmm hmm" i sat for like 5 mins there and i got out there and OH was like "did you fill the cup" and i laughed at him .. then i was like "gosh i hope the doc comes soon as the urine will get cold then ill have to pee again" ah i hate doing those tests i guess it could be worse.. if we were guys and had to give sperm samples haha i dont think any guy would be to terribly comfortable doing that in a cup

That will be great if you can do that. have a little sort of baby shower with your family. it will be wonderful for you. That is a great idea going and visiting your family. even if traveling is going to be terribaly uncomfortable. i didnt think you could fly in your 3rd tri.. or will you not be in your 3rd tri at that point? I am so nervous in June we have to go to OH's brothers grad, and its a 12 hour trip and i dont no if i will be able to handle it doing it then when im 30 weeks pregnant i will be so sore.

haha yes they must be warned of the crazy things we do whilest sleeping haha. OH told me i was crazy. and i just sighed i was like "oh well" haha

Yes i am hoping for our sake we dont tear, so there will be no trama iwant the birth to be a pleasnt experiance so i will want to do it again! heres hoping we both have good births

We watched in 3D too.. it was so cool i liked it alot. OH even enjoyed it.. we got there early so we got a good seat. Johnny Depp did an excelent job playing the Mad Hatter he was so creative i loved it. I was like ducking and stuff when she was going threw the rabbits whole and stuff was flying at us.. haha. I think when it comes out we will have to buy that movie I know im so happy we bought a car seat we just decided to go to babies R us today. we could of done a baby registry but we didnt feel like it. next time OH is done we are going out and buy more stuff for baby it is so exciting

 

[QueSeraSera]

haha! thats funny about the boys. at least when they have to do anything in a cup they have an easier time aiming! thats what gets me about peeining a cup. im always scared im gonna miss the mark and end up peeing all over my hand instead! haha. oh the fun things we girls have to do to have our babies!

well now that i think about it it would probably have to be in june instead if I go home. most airlines will let you fly until 28 weeks without a problem. some will even let you fly until 32 weeks...so long as you have a note from the doctor saying youve been examined and that everything is okay. i think im going to ask my doctor about it at my next appointment and see what she thinks. that way i can start trying to plan it out. my mom just volunteered to fly me home for a visit, and so i want to take her up on it!

exactly! i hope nothing to traumatic happens during labor or i think i will wanting to wait a VERY long time before going through it again! lol. we have both been pretty luck in our pregnancies so far...hopefully well be lucky in labor too

yea the 3d was crazy i kept jerking my head back because i looked like things were flying at my head! it was awesome. and i LOVED johnny depp in it. actually i thought all the actors did a pretty good job playing their parts. it was well worth the money and fighting the crowds to see it early

i think we are going to go to babies-r-us maybe this weekend or the next to do a registry. people are already starting to ask what we need and want! it seems so early to do it, but i guess its that time already

 

[dizzy65]

haha yes they have lots of practice at aiming.. thats what im afraid of too missing the cup and peeing all over the cup and my hand and stuff. that would be grose..

that would be a good idea to get a not from your doctor just so you can get home. and that is so sweet of your mom to offer to pay your way to get home for a visit. that will be really special for you and lots of fun. lots of attention on you hehe people will probably want to rub your belly and stuff like that that will be good if you get to have a baby shower too.. with your family and friends... since alot of them probably wont be there for the birth .

Yes, we have been so lucky lets just pray it keeps on being great

I did the same thing just jerking out of the way and stuff and some times gasping and even jumping a few times. people were probably laughing at me. i think this pregnancy has made me handi capped lol

that will be a great idea to do that.. it is getting to that time... when the fun is just begining getting to buy lots of fun baby stuff

It was so funny in the theater i was giggling to my self as the baby was nudging and kicking OH and he had no idea i told him after. he had his arm on my tummy and didnt even no baby was trying to get his attention haha

 

[QueSeraSera]

yea...thats always my fear too. i could never have to pee in a cup again and be completely happy about it!

yea i think the note is just for the airlines n case they question you. it prevents there being any issues with them not wanting you to get on the plane or something. but i thought it was a very nice offer from her! i would love to see my family again as its been awhile. and although some of them are going to be able to come out in may for my graduation, not many of them are. and i think my parents will be the only ones coming out for the birth. so it would be good to go home before and see everyone when im pregnant. and then im still talking DH into going back for christmas too. since technically the summer trip wouldnt cost us anything we can still save for xmas.

i know! usually the 3D things dont bother me. we saw avatar in 3D and i never once flinched or jumped. but during this one i was moving and jumping the whole time. DH was chuckling at me under his breath..argh. i blame it on pregnancy too! i love how we can use pregnancy as an excuse for anything these days! hehe

yea i couldnt believe it yesterday a friend asked me where we are registered and i was like "umm...nowhere yet" i thought it was weird and so early so i mentioned it to my mom on the phone and she was like "oh yea...ive been meaning to mention that you need to register" apparently tons of people have been asking her where we have registered! guess we better get on that here pretty soon! :-/

aww thats so cute about the baby. i bet s/he was in there thinking "hey mister! your crowding my space! i cant see the screen cause of your big arm!" hehe. too cute. you have quite the rascal there. oh! i felt the baby kick for the first time this morning! i couldnt sleep so i was laying there in bed really still and i felt this distinctive "bomp" against my belly! it was faint cause the LO is still small at this point, but totally there. it was crazy. it surprised me and scared me and then when i realized what it was i was so excited. i woke DH up immediately to tell him it totally made my morning...my day in fact. lol

 

[dizzy65]

haha i dont think any one can every be really happy about giving urine samples. ah some of the joys of pregnancy eh haha.

Well i guess thats a good idea for them to have a note or something just for reasurance that you arent going to like go into labour or anything on the plane. I could imagin why they wouldnt let any one fly at like 39 weeks that would be crazy! Hopefully you guys can save up enough money to go home for xmas that will be great then everyone can still see the baby when its still small. You will have lots of fun with your little one at your families house and stuff. That will be good if they can come for your grad too that would be awesome. i am dreading going to OH's brothers grad in june i wont have anything nice to wear although i did tell him that he is buying me some cute maternity outfits for his brothers grad and for the family reunion/grandmas birthday celebration and he just looked at me and i said "well i highly doubt they'd want me there in my underwear and my bra" haha.

I know i love that too. I blame so much stuff on the pregnancy an hormones OH gets so frusterated cause everytime i just get mad at him for no reason and he asks why i usually say "its a pregnancy thing" haha... I dont think he minds it thou that much because he is part of the reason im so crazy these days lol.

I think when OH and i go to town next we will register baby. i didnt no that we had to or i dont no what purpose there is in regestering the baby, but everyone is doing it so i guess we will do it too..

awe thats so amazing you felt the first kicks. isnt it the greatest feeling ever. My LO is moving more and more these days i can feel it when im sitting up or walking around.. I cant wait tell it moves so OH can feel it thou.. thats going to be really special and he reallywants to feel it

 

[QueSeraSera]

you definitely have to get some cute maternity outfits for the graduation and the birthday celebration! they have some really cute dresses for pregnant women these days. and you deserve it since youll be sitting in a car for like half a day to go to the graduation. and, i agree, there may be some problems if you show up in just underwear and a bra! so i think its best to get some cutesie outfits!

pregnancy is definitely a great excuse for getting upset at silly things. or for getting away with anything really...i mean, nobody can get upset at us for acting a certain way because were pregnant!

i think the registering thing is good because you can kind of ask for the things you need or want for baby. and its a good way to make sure that you dont end up with 20 of a certain thing and nothing of another. i know that for a lot of my family it has been a long time since their kids were young and all the products are new, so they want guidance about what sort of gifts they should get. we registed for our wedding and it ended up being really good...we got the styles and colors of the things we wanted. saves you from having to exchange things. lol

yea the baby moving was awesome! i dont think i would have felt it if i wasnt laying so still, but i know its only going to get stronger. but it will be best when others can feel it

 

[dizzy65]

yes i cant wait tell i can go shopping for those. I told my OH i have to look good or i might as well stay home. and he said they wont be focused on what you are wearing haha. But i hope i can find something that will be good enough to wear to all the things we have this summer. we have my little cousins first birthday in July and right after my grandmas celebration we have my other cousins first birthday, haha crazy its going to be so busy this summer its going to fly by tell the baby is born i hope I sort of want baby tocome early so my out of town family can see it, but they will get to see it any way at christmas time

I know it is the best haha. they just have to look at us and they dont usually say anything. andwhen we start acting crazy they try and find away to make us feel better

It is good. I went and regisitered baby yesterday. i convinced OH to take me to town so i could do that, we could do it online to but i wanted to talk to some one about it. and they were really helpful. they answered all of my questions about everything and it was so nice. And we got a free gift bag filled with a lot of samples. like there was a baby bottle in there and wipes and everything like that.. it was great. and they even had stuff for mom like for stretch marks and sI told OH i wanted a big bottle of that stuff and he rolled his eyes and said stretch marks arent preventable lol.

You are right. It is only going to get stronger and than it will be absolutly amazing when your DH can feel it.. i was talking to another pregnant lady on my facebook and she said now when baby moves her whole tummy moves. that is soo cool

 

[QueSeraSera]

wow you certainly do have a lot of things going on this summer! you have many reasons to buy a bunch of cute clothes! i have a ton of events in may too...i plan on buying a bunch of cute dresses to show off my bump. by then ill be about 23-24 weeks so i should be showing pretty good.

you went and registered! yay! was it fun? we were going to go this weekend but my stepson is sick and so we figured he probably wouldnt act very good in the store for that long. so i think we will try to do it next weekend. thats very cool that they gave you free products. and i agree, i want to do it in the store too because you can see the products up close, and ask questions. hopefully we can do it next weekend...im so looking forward to it.

i bet that is so crazy looking to see your belly moving all over the place when the baby is wiggling around in there. i bet it will take some getting used to. but it will be so awesome at the same time. the constant reminder of baby doing well in there will be nice

 

[dizzy65]

yes very busy summer hehe. Thats what im hopping to do too just to buy lots of cute outfitts to show off my bump... i think by the summer time i will probably be so miserable. but i cant wait to get those outfits


It was awesome. The lady was very helpful i found.. i tried doing it online but we went into the store and did it and the lady was very nice. she asked me questions. and then gave me a scanner and told me to scan things i wanted on my registry, and then at the end we got a free gift bag of stuff baby would need it even had some diapers in it.. it was awesome.

It will be so awesome once baby is moving lots an you can see it threw out your whole belly. it will be so relieving to know that the baby is doing well that you can actaully see the baby is doing great..

Tomorrow OH is taking me to the hospital and im going to do some more blood tests ahh i hate it

 

[QueSeraSera]

yea im pretty sure the summer will be pretty horrid here too. but at least we will be looking cute in our summer dresses, even if all we really want to do is sit in a kiddie pool of ice and hit our OHs for putting us in this state!

free diapers...thats worth it right there. when i registed for our wedding i registered a few different places but one of them was target. they gave me a scanner there and it was fun going around the store scanning all of th things i though were pretty. DH couldnt be with me because i was in texas for school and he was here in hawaii...so i didnt have to deal with the "do we really need this shannon?" at everything i picked out

i think it will be cool when baby is moving that much, but it might freak me out a bit to see my tummy moving around on its own! lol

uh oh...hospital. is something going on, or is it just a routine thing you have to do? i hope everything turns out well!

 

[dizzy65]

haha thats for sure.. but at the end of the summer for us both we will get to be holding our babies and we will remember why we went threw all this, and it will some how it will all make since..

haha i know what you mean. i invited my OH to come in and scan stuff with me and he was like "is this really necessary, i dont think we need that" i just wanted to smack him upside the head haha. Doing this stuff is much better doing it alone then with the guys for sure.. its far less frusterating

Haha i think so too, it will be really freaky but totally cool at the same time

Just a routine Prenatial blood test, i hate those. The doctor here has phoned the OBGYN in town, and then the person who does ultra sounds so soon ill be having regular appointments there.. i wanted to see a doctor better there than where my parents lived, as the one where my parents live, they stuck me with the doctor that said there was nothing wrong with me when i had cracked ribs, had to get a second oppinion, my mom said that he is probably great with baby stuff, but i just started crying saying i dont think i can go threw with seeing that doctor dealingwith my baby

 

[QueSeraSera]

eventually it will all be worth it, im just thinking that in those hot summer months we might lose sight of that for a bit. lol

yea my DH and i tried to register together online so we could both be a part of it and it just became a headache. finally i was like "im going to do this in the store and im going to do this alone" haha. turned out much better that way. trying to do it together anymore and im not sure we would have made it to the wedding date still together! haha

yea i cant blame you for being uneasy about the doctor. the first knee surgery i had i got a complete nut job and he didnt fix everything that needed to be fixed when in surgery and then he wouldnt recommend physical therapy. ended up making everything worse and i had to have two more surgerys to fix it all. sometimes its hard to forget when someone crosses you like that. hopefully he will be much better with the baby appointments, and if you feel really uneasy it seems that you should be able to request a different doctor.

 

[dizzy65]

haha yeah we probably will. i hope they have air conditioning in the floors where babies are being born as i dont want to be pushing and doing all that in a hot hospital!! ahh that would be torture especially if its in the afternoon!

Yes Boys can be so frusterating... I think i would of liked it a whole lot better if i didnt do it with my OH, he just gets so annoyng and walks around like he doesnt want to be there. its like if it is so hard for you then just go out and sit in the vehical your annoying me any way!! haha

Ah thats horribal.. I hate doctors like that, that are so careless. My mom said he is probably already with baby stuff just not any thing else, i told her that he had better hope so or im going to see to it he looses his job. i dont want him screwing anything up. I am still a little up set. because of him, i have to get my ribs re-broken so they can get fixed the proper way so im not in pain any more.. i really wish he would of done stuff right the first time!

Last night I let my OH see me with out my shirt on for the first time in a month (before it was with the lights off and stuff) any way the first thing he said to me was "wow you are really starting to show" i just looked at him and was thinking to my self "so you think im fat now, hmm thanks" haha ... then i left and was like "i can see sum ones not getting lucky tonight" haha..

 

[QueSeraSera]

im going to ask if theres air conditioning in the birthing rooms...and if not, im so bringing in like 3 or 4 fans of my own. i refuse to go through labor in a hot room. im going to be sweaty anyway from all the pushing and everything, the least i want is some cool air! lol. i would think they would have them all air conditioned though, otherwise they are going to have some really bitchy women in pain on their hands!

yea...i know what you mean. when we go shopping for something i need my DH is like that. he has to sit down at ever opportunity, and give out a big sigh too...like this is the last thing in the world he wants to be doing. whats annoying too is that im always willing to go by myself, but he insists he come too. and then he is impatient. ahh...boys! my dad is the same way. drives my mom crazy over it. lol

yea doctors can be really careless. i still really dislike the guy who screwed my knee up. they tried to send me to him for the second surgery when everything went to crap after the first one...i threw a major fit and said that if they didnt want me to sue him for all the damages he caused they would assign me to a different doctor. and they did. lol. i guess in your case you should give him a chance and as soon as anything seems out of line, ask for a transfer to a new doctor.

haha! yea i would have made him sleep on the couch! lol. a few days ago DH did the same thing. i was in the shower and he hopped in with me even though i was like no, no, no. and then he put his hands on my belly and was like "well theres definitely a baby in there" i just looked at him horrified and couldnt say anything. i was thinking the same thing "so you think im gaining too much... " needless to say we were not cuddly and sex was out of the question for a couple days after that. lol.

 

[dizzy65]

They had better have air conditioning in the birthing rooms they would defantly have some pretty bitchy women on there hands if they didnt have any air conditioning we are all going to be so hot and sweaty any way why would they want to make it worse. I have lots of questions i need to ask the doctors when i go in for my first ultrasoundwith them. They are phoning my FIL when they have my appointment date, so my FIL is going tocall me when they call him haha. Its just my cell is long distance and they refuse to call it so i had to give them his number.. I am hoping that the ultra sound there will be at the end of april so i can still go to the one up there and then the one down here haha ill be sneaky as they dont want me to do that

Ah i know what you mean it can get so frusterating when guys do that. insist apon coming then u let them come and they just whine and complain the whole time saying they are bored. my OH does the same thing like when we go to the mall he sits on the chairs of what he likes to call the "husband chairs" and tells me he shoulda let me come alone as he hates shopping. when he does that some times i just want to smack him up side the head haha.

Yeah no doubt i wouldnt like a guy that did that to me either.. I wouldnt blame u for making a big deal about never going back to him after he did that.. they wanted to stick you with another surgary with him?? thats nuts why would they even think you would consider that.. they must be brain damaged haha. I would of made a huge deal about it too.

Ahh no doubt, Guys can be so insensitive about this kind of thing. like they think they are complimenting us but really they are basically calling us fat.. Like my OH said that and its hard to even think of something to say.. if he is like this now whats he goina be like when im like 39 weeks pregnant with a huge belly is he goina tell me that im really fat haha. Iwouldnt blame you for not being cuddily with him. it would totally ruin the mood

 

[QueSeraSera]

that would be awesome if you could work it so you could get two ultrasounds! thats crazy that they wont call your cell though...i thought long distance was pretty much a thing of the past. but at least you have your FIL up there and he can convey all of the information for you. i finally got my scan date today! they had an opening before DH lease too so I dont have to wait an extra two weeks. its the 22nd april. it was like the last thing they had and DH leaves early morning the 23rd. i think i just lucked out big time. so only 36 days until i know if im buying pink or blue!

haha! my DH is a frequenter of the husband chairs too! man...they should take those things out of malls. that way, if they didnt have a place to sit, the OHs probably would just let us go on our own and we wouldnt have to deal with their moaning

yea i think it was temporary lapse of insanity when they tried to give me the same surgeon. i quickly set them straight. sometimes people in the medical fields can just blow my mind completely with thier idiocracy about some things! lol

i know! the other day i was looking through bump pics from the 3rd tri on a different website and there were some women that seemed to have grown and put on quite a bit in their pregnancies. DH said to me "you know, ill still love you no matter what. but please dont pack on like 60 lbs through this thing" and i got so upset. i was like "oh so am i supposed to be on a diet now to make you happy!?" lol. he retracted his statement, but now im nervous for the comments from when i get bigger. im always gonna think that im getting TOO big, or that he thinks i am. ahhh...pregnancy hormones...make you analyze every little thing. lol

congrats on 17 weeks! oh my gosh i saw your bump pic on the other thread and it is so amazingly cute! i love it. youre getting so close to halfway now! i love the little funny widget you have about it being almost halfway but feeling like much longer. that is too true! and im 2.5 weeks behind you!

 

[dizzy65]

Well The Doctor did call me yesterday.. My cell and everything wahoo, i guess that the longdistance thing didnt matter like the doctor said. They wanted to schedule me in for today but i couldnt do it i had no way to town its about 1.5 hours away from here and we have no gas to get there until the weekend. So i asked her if i could come in next week and.. Yes Im booked in for Tuesday March 23rd at 11:00 AM i am so excited i get to see baby when im 18 weeks. than again when im 20weeks.. it is so exciting. and the good thing is too they dont do gender scans here so i wont be tempted to know what the sex is Thats great you must be so pleased that you have your scan date now and that you will finally be able to see baby.. ahh so exciting.. only a month a way too.. yay thats excalent that they can do itbefore your DH has to leave.

haha yep they wouldnt come with us at all if there was no husband chairs.. all they want to do is complain any way thats no fun haha

haha i know they dont even seem to care about anything, they just want the money.. it is so annoying, i would of gone up one side of them and down the other if they tried that on me!

Ah how annoying my OH always says "I dont care how much weight you gain because in the end its going to be all gone" and "It just means the baby is healthy" haha.. Isnt he going to be shocked if after all this i get a flappy tummy or i am unable to loose a lot of the weight.. i really dont want to gain 60pounds either that would be horribal i would feel so fat, right now this is the heaviest ive ever been my OH keeps saying "its only going to get worse" lol.. He thinks he is making me feel better but its just making this situation worse. I am going to try my hardest too loose all this weight in the end

Thanks .. baby now weighs 5oz and is as big as a turnip ooh its getting so big now hehe.. thanks i love my baby bump.. Only a couple more weeks now tell i hit half way.. that is so exciting i cant wait..It is so true that it feels like its been forever already and we have over half way left, iherd after 24 weeks thou it goes a lot faster and i really hope so

 

[QueSeraSera]

thats very cool that they were able to get you in at the 18 week mark. i dont blame you for not wanting to go on the short notice though...thats a pretty intense drive to go to the doctors office! and i complain about the 30 minutes to the army hospital here. lol. oh and then you have your 20 week scan too! nice way to play the system! you will have so many pictures for your photo album pretty soon. will your OH be able to be in town for the scan next week? haha...if i was trying to wait about the gender i would have to got o a place that doesnt do them either. i would be so tempted to ask! lol. i was so excited about the ultrasound date...it worked out pretty perfectly and i dont have to wait an extra two weeks. im sure they would have been complete torture if i had to wait.

the doctor thing was pretty crazy. it was a small town i grew up in and so maybe it was sort of because there werent that many orthopedic surgeons that they tried to stick me with the same guy. im not sure...but it was the wrong move. he was so bad and even im appointments he made you feel like you were waiting his time. the surgeon i got for the next two surgeries was sooooo much better. lol

yea my DH says he will love me no matter how much i gain...but i myself dont want to gain much. i want to keep it manageable so that after labor i can have a pretty easy time getting it all off. its strange because ive only gained like 3-4 lbs total, but my belly is getting pretty big. it doesnt make much sense. i always look how big im getting and then think that when i get on the scale im going to faint...but i havent gained that much really. it must be from everything shifting around in there.

5 oz! thats pretty big even compared to just a couple weeks ago. and a turnip is pretty large. its amazing the rate the babies are growing at. i bet after the 20 week mark it will go by so much faster...all the waiting and anticpation of the first half will be over and then we will just be busy! so much to do...take pregnancy and lamaze classes, buy everything, get the nursery in order...its going to go so fast!

 

[dizzy65]

I am so excited for tuesday but unfortunatly my OH wont be able to make it to that scan he doesnt get back until thursday morning.. Thats why im doing the 20 week scan up there in alberta so that my OH can see our little beauty but they do, do gender scans there so im nervous that i wont have the restraint to say no. my OH is going to have to be the strong one he will have to take me out of the room or something just so i dont find out ahh im so week. haha.. I bet you were so happy when you found out a big relief haha. You will love being able to see what gender it is and see it playing around there. how many ultra sounds do you get to have?

ah that makes since. shortage of doctors they probably didnt have a choice well they did they just didnt think about it.. they dont do surgerays oranything where i grew up thank god i wouldnt want them to do anything to me, these doctors here arent good at there jobs. espcially the ones that take blood. the last doc i had to do blood didnt sterilize my arm like they were supposed to ah so annyoing.

I know what you mean, i want my weight to be managable after all of this... my belly looks huge but i get on the scale and its not as much at all ive gained like 6 or 7 pounds now.. its not as much as i figure,

Yes after we start going to all those classes and stuff it will go so much faster. the baby is growing so much now it is so exciting. i cant wait to see how big it is next week and at the end its going to be so exciting
