Sticking Together Until We Are In Diapers Ourselves!

[Twinsie]

I second Cheryl's question, when do we get to find out Jess!!!??

Sylvia- your bump is adorable!! That outfit is cute too, where is it from? I need maternity clothes ideas! I've always heard that your bump shows a lot sooner after your first baby, so that could be what's happening?!

Sylvia you look very cute in that dress! Happy 6 weeks!

They say you show earlier and earlier with each pregnancy so that can also contribute with bloating

Sorry ladies. Got really sick at the doctor and came home and went to bed. We did have the ultrasound about 30 minutes after the scheduled time. Baby looks amazing!! Measuring spot on 20 weeks 2 days and weighs about 13 ounces. I thought that sounded big but apparently is 33rd percentile. I'm not worried because s/he is doing great. We filmed the whole thing which I'll upload to YouTube and set to private on Saturday. We were able to confirm the sex but baby was very shy about showing off the potty shot......and the face/profile. I'll upload 2 pics for now and the rest over the weekend.

Oh and in the first 5 ultrasounds I had done the placenta was posterior, at 18 weeks it was on the side (neither front or back) and today the tech said it was anterior. Anyone heard of the placenta moving like that?

The previous pic is baby's face. You can see the eye socket and the iris! This is the best profile we could get

I orders some dresses and vests (non maternity) from G Stage online, thanks you! I get my ideas from Interest under maternity style/fashion So I've been buying a lot of maxi skirts they're so comfortable!

Thank you! What's weird is this is my third and I never was even close to bloating with my second son....Everyone thinks I'm having a girl since I have gained a lot of my muffin top lol. I have a really big feeling it is.

 

[MamaBunny2]

mommysylvia this is my third as well and I had major bloat/showing early on, much earlier than with my second. Has anyone given you the "Are you having twins?" comment yet? I got it a few times but nope, just one baby in there! I'm sure with two boys you are wanting a girl?

I had an eventful day today... My son woke me up in the middle of the night to tell me his ear was hurting. I told him to put a warm washcloth on it and see if that helped. He's thirteen so there was no whining or crying or drama which is new for me as I'm used to both of my kids being noticeably uncomfortable when sick but it's been quite some time since that. This morning I asked him how it felt and he said it had been draining overnight, still sore and he couldn't really hear with it. I noticed he sounded kind of congested as well when he talked. I gave him pain reliever and sent him to school and my OH told him to contact him if it got worse and he needed to come home. I called his ear specialist (my son had tubes put in three years ago) but there weren't any doctors in today and he couldn't be seen until tomorrow afternoon! So I made the choice to pull him from school and take him to the urgent care clinic as soon as it opened. My OH picked him up and I met them there. Come to find out he has an ear infection AND strept throat! Got him an antibiotic and no school the rest of today or tomorrow. My poor baby. Of course I don't want to get any of that right now so hoping it doesn't pass on to anyone else in our household.

Yes I want a girl!! Lol, my mother keeps wondering if I'm having twins I said I doubt it...its just bloat. All my symptoms I usually have with my previous pregnancies is backwards. My boobs already got big and that hasn't happened till third trimester with me, also I never had frequent urination lol

 

[WunnaBubba2]

I'm very happy to hear that your baby is doing well Jess!!! Absolutely wonderful news especially after all you and dh have been through to get to this point! I love the u/s pic!

I hope your son feels better soon Jyllian

 

[Twinsie]

Jess- great Pic! So glad you got to see your LO and get the sex confirmed! And that everything is smack on track!! That's wonderful news .

Sylvia - hope your son is better soon!

 

[Jrepp]

Thanks ladies. I'm waiting on the measurements to be emailed over but it seems as if baby is measuring on track but on the smaller side. Poor thing has been poked and prodded all day and now that I'm finally resting baby is showing how unhappy the day was

 

[Wishing1010]

Omg, jess this is torture! I wanted to know the gender for my birthday! Lol

Shelby has measured all over the place too, I think your LO is just fine

 

[Jrepp]

I know..... 2 more days! Baby is measuring smack on, but according to the growth charts in weight is 33rd centile. We are right on track for a 7 pounder or so but I think/hope baby is on the smaller side of things. I don't want a 14 pound baby!

 

[Twinsie]

So I'll be 7 weeks tomorrow, and haven't had morning sickness, does that mean I'm one of the lucky ones?! Or can it still show up??? Lol. I have the congestion, sore boobies and nipples!

 

[Jrepp]

It's still possible but doesn't sems likely.

 

[mommysylvia]

So I'm measuring 5w1d....instead of 6 weeks so the nurse said there's a good chance its a girl since they live longer and its almost a week from my ovulation date. So that's great

 

[WunnaBubba2]

Jess, I was meaning to ask what position your baby was in at the u/s? Head down, breech, transverse?

Yay Sylvia, look at your little one starting Looking forward to many more u/s pics

 

[MamaBunny2]

My boobs swelled up already too! And just like you that didn't happen with my previous pregnancies until third tri

 

[MamaBunny2]

Sylvia - hope your son is better soon!

It was my son. I knew what you meant and thanked

 

[melewen]

Jess, great to hear baby is measuring spot on!! Cannot wait for saturday.. And that's good that your placenta is anterior now! Although I've never heard of it moving really. Obviously it must!

Sylvia super cute blump! It's so funny to me that there was this gang of trolly girls all being sarcastic and annoying about us starting a FTM thread on the bump, because they were like you don't show earlier with your second/third kid! Uh... I beg to differ! That's totally absurd, they were just arguing to argue!

Twinsie my nausea actually showed up at like 7w1d hahaha! But it wasn't morning sickness, more like I just felt really sick after eating, especially normal amounts of food. I learned to eat small meals and Id be fine most the time and I could ALWAYS fix it with like a preggie pop drop and some seltzer water so it wasn't bad at all. This week I've been going out with DH every night and this big lawyer conference and those people eat so unhealthy! So I've been eating way too much and feeling sick each night it sounds like you might miss the puking bit at the very least!

Pam and daphne when did you ladies start feeling sick?

Jyllian sorry to hear about your son my best friends daughter has two ear infections right now! It's crazy. Seems like everyone is sick

Um.... Last night I woke myself up with this like MASSIVE snore!! I have never ever snored in the past but this has happened like three times now since getting knocked up. Lovely eh!
