Sticking Together Until We Are In Diapers Ourselves!

3D SCAN UPDATE

Again ladies I am so sorry that it took so long and thanks for being so patient with me

I asked the sonographer to please confirm gender for us to make sure it is boy and she said sure. She puts the probe on my belly and switches on to 3D and the VERY 1st thing we see is our little Matthew's potty shot

Matthew was wide awake the whole time and had his eyes open a few times too

Matthew's feet - he seems to like crossing them at the ankles. Funny thing is I was lying with my ankles crossed the whole u/s through as well

Side profile. He had his arm by his face for the most part but we still got to see him so all is good

Sorry for the overkill on photos but I got soooo many I just had to share as much as I could

He's so handsome Pam. Wish my 3D was a bit later than sooner lovely photos im glad he's healthy....

 

[MamaBunny2]

AWWWWW!!!

Those are adorable! I love the photo angled of his face with his arm up there, that cute little nose! And the one where he is grinning is too cute! And yawning! So so so precious!!!

And whooooohoooo what a potty shot, right there front and center!

 

[WunnaBubba2]

Thanks ladies! I cannot stop looking at the pics!!

I got a 20 min dvd of the entire u/s with everything on it and will be watching that some time soon as well

I skipped the orange juice and just had some ice cold water before the scan and 1 block of fudge during the u/s to get him to move his arm a bit. The lady that did the u/s really made it so special for us and it was really so different to what they do in a Dr's office! This was such an amazing experience!!!

 

[mdscpa]

Seeing him this detailed makes you want the days to pass by so quickly just so you can cuddle him in your arms.... Oh, i would love to see that video no matter how long it is.... So glad that place gave you a wonderful experience seeing Matthew....

 

[mdscpa]

The yawning pic looks alot like his dad... I think...

 

[WunnaBubba2]

I'll try and get it loaded onto youtube and post a link for you

 

[WunnaBubba2]

Ah damn, I cannot get the video from the cd onto my pc I don't know how to upload for you.

There is no option to copy it to my pc, only to copy it onto another cd

 

[mdscpa]

Pam i think you can directly upload it to youtube from the DVD. Heare's what i got.

[WunnaBubba2]

I'll try that quickly. Do I mark it private or unlisted? I dont want other people to see it except you guys.

 

[Jrepp]

Tell me about it! She said boys normally give you discount on the 40 weeks

Oh and we really 100% without a doubt heard his heartbeat for the 1st time! Was amazing!

He was smiling, yawning, frowing and even put the umbilical cord in his mouth for giggles!

That's good news about boys. I hope it's true in my case! I'm so glad that Matthew behaved for his photo session! I bet it was such an amazing experience.

WTH!!!! How did i miss that!!! Thanks Jyllian....

Awesome news Pam. Guess all your hardwork to make Matthew be ready for the scan pays off... Guess we'll have our babies at the same time... im just a little worried when you said you're 31 weeks and weighing 1.6kgs. When i had my 29 weeks scan Adam is measuring 31 weeks and weighing 1.7kgs... Here's hoping im not growing a giant baby....

I thought your baby sounded a bit on the large size but I'm not sure....well according to Google average at 31 weeks is about 1.7kgs. At 29 weeks it's 1.36. But not all babies grow at the same rate.

Take your time Pam i know how busy your schedule is.... We all know we can wait up until we turn into this.

Bwahahahahahahahahahah

HAHA Daphne!

Dangit Pam I'm too anxious to see! I say just skip the dinner OR you can say you have to use the restroom and if using your phone you can post away!

You make me have high hopes for my scan. I hope I'm not too disappointed when my LO just lays there like a blob...

Mine just stays put or rolls so his back is facing out. Sometimes blobs are better than active tots

3D SCAN UPDATE

Again ladies I am so sorry that it took so long and thanks for being so patient with me

Again Pam I am so incredibly glad you were able to have such an amazing scan! He is so incredibly cute!! I hope you figure out the video cause I would love to see it

 

[WunnaBubba2]

Thanks ladies! I could not have asked for a better reaction from him. He probably knew how much this meant to me and literally made my day.

I am so struggling with this video thing. When I insert the DVD into my laptop it starts playing via Windows Media Player and there are no options to copy it. WTF? I tried dragging the DVD onto upload on Youtube directly but that didn't work either. I'm going to try a few more things and will let you know.

 

[WunnaBubba2]

Sorry but I am completely stuck on this whole video thing. I literally see no options on the disc. I'm going to try and get DH to give it a go over the weekend. He has lots of video programmes on his laptop so hopefully he is smarter than I am.

 

[startd]

Pam, that is so exciting! He's just gorgeous. It's going to be so exciting to see all the babies start arriving in a few weeks

Jyllian, my DH came to a scan with me last week (3D) and we found out the gender - and he has been so excited ever since. He talks to the bump, has taken on pram shopping (he's convinced that it's important he goes so he can look at turning circles etc haha) and keeps talking about how excited he is to meet the baby. I think it makes it a lot more real for first time dads. He still gets a bit stressed about finances, but it's put everything in perspective now. I hope the same happens for you.

I had another scan yesterday (!), so I'm feeling a bit spoilt - my OB does one each time I see her, which is pretty cool. It's so much fun to see him bouncing around in there. Second trimester is definitely a lot better than first trimester!

I am finding it a constant surprise as to how much less I can get done. I used to work huge hours, and would just 'push through'. No chance of that now! I'm absolutely exhausted by the end of the day. I guess it's a good way of preparing for being a new mum.

 

[mdscpa]

You can put it on unlisted so only people with the link can watch it and it becomes unsearchable for other people some of my videos were unlisted...

Jess, maybe Adam just had a growth spurt at 29w because according to my last appointment at the new hospital he is measuring spot on at 31w. Not sure next saturday (33w) if he'll do another scan we'll see his measurements again which i expect he'll have another growth.

 

[melewen]

Pam the scan is just perfect!!! I'm so glad it was everything you wanted and more Matthew is such a little looker, oooh! And omg that potty shot made me laugh.

Much-needed break to this day which has turned into the work day from hell. Ugh. That contract I told you guys about, I sent in the first batch of photos and they were like oh yeah! We didn't tell you this before but product can't be put over ice. So.. that's like 1/3 of your photos. SUCKS! OMG. I told them I wouldn't reshoot and they were OK with it but I have spent like 4 hours re-editing photos so they're the "right" orientation and removing this stupid stamp they put on their bottles before they send to me. And on top of that we somehow overdrew $100 in our checking account with a week left in the month?! I mean we have been buying a lot for the baby lately but always reimbursing that account with the "baby" account, I just don't get how it happened, like are we not adults?! Ugh. And DH is arguing with me about it, saying we should just put some cash in the checking account from our emergency fund and I'm like THIS IS NOT AN EMERGENCY omg. I cannot even. And I'm so stressed and the last thing I want to do is cook but we can't afford to go out to eat, considering we have to go out tomorrow and make all this stuff for a get-together Saturday with some friends and our expensive-ass groceries on Sunday blehhhhhhh. Majorly stressed

 

[Wishing1010]

Aww Pam!!!! He is perfect!!!! How cute!!!!

 

[mdscpa]

Happy 15 weeks Fi!!!! 2nd tri is absolutely wonderful and fast.... 3rd tri is fast as well for me but it's the time when you think more of when the baby arrives and if you have all the things you'll need for your baby....

 

[WunnaBubba2]

I agree with Fi, the scans just do something to the guys... it is kind of their only way to see them move and connect if that makes sense.

Fi, I feel for you on the energy front! I'm still waiting for the 2nd tri energy to kick in and I'm almost 31 weeks

Daphne, I'm going to ask dh to help me with the dvd over the weekend. I just cannot get it right. If we do get it I will upload it for you ladies and we can all spend 20 mins watching

Cheryl, sorry about work day from hell I hope it turns back into the heavenly job real soon!

AFM: I'm not sure if it is the free wi-fi at the guest house we are staying or insomnia, but I'm still awake at 00h30 on the night before/morning of my sister's wedding. I should really attempt sleeping now as the day will be long and exhausting... I blame the free wi-fi

 

[mdscpa]

It's 01:30 here and me and DH are wide awake watching movies!!!!
