You ladies crack me up

Oh Jyllian! I'm so glad you updated and that everything went well!!!! Whas your MIL there and how did SO react?

 

[Jrepp]

The missing periods have got to be one the nicest pregnancy bonuses

How are you doing with the nausea Jess? I really hope it has let up some

Still there, still going strong. I don't think it's going anywhere to be honest.

21 Weeks Scan 05/02/2015:

So today we had our 21 weeks scan as you all ladies know and have been waiting for ages with me.... It's official ONE BIG HEALTHY BABY!!!!

Spoiler

THE "Y" CHROMOSOME PENETRADED THE "X" CHROMOSOME ​

The baby is measuring 21w1 day... Just a day ahead this time so we really are spot on with our weeks. Thanks to fertility friend

Oh, and HE's weighing 440 grams.... big baby... Because FF says, this week (22) he should be around 350 grams.


21 Weeks 2D/3D Scan 05/02/2015 Photos/Sonogram:

We never got our print outs since the sonographer said they are doc's copy.. But DH asked if we can have copies saved in our flash and she agreed, got everything and bigger photos Oh, baby is fast asleep during the whole scan with his feet reaching his face I talked to him this morning that he should cooperate and i guess he did, showing everything wide open and proud

Disregard the time on the pictures, it's 2 hours late. We were there at 8:30 am then they called us in around 10:30 am... So the machine is about 2 hours late. They should adjust it Anyways, i don't care about it

Baby’s Hands from 8-21 Weeks Pregnant:

That's awesome daphne. Hopefully I'll be joining you in team blue in a few weeks. How do you feel about the gender switch? Did you ask about a hidden twin?

Hey ladies! My 10 week appointment went well yesterday, for the most part. My SO met me there. I gave a urine sample, checked blood pressure and weight (141.5 from pre-preggy 136) then got situated on the table, awaiting the doctor. He immediately checked for the heartbeat... nothing... checked more... nothing... checked some more... still nothing I was super tense and panicking. He went ahead with my exam. I asked "What if you can't find a heartbeat?!" He didn't seem concerned. I was in SUPER PANIC MODE. I was scared, mad, worried, sad... but I tried to reassure myself that if there seemed to be an issue that my doctor would say something, especially during the exam. I asked him if my cervix was blue which made him and the nurse laugh. She said "Sounds like someone's been doing their research. I don't think I've ever heard someone ask that before!" (FYI it wasn't blue. Guess it's an early pregnancy thing and only a percentage of women get it ) After he finished with that, my doctor said he would try moving my uterus upward towards my abdomen to try and get a listen for the heartbeat. It was kind of awkward, him digging all up in me with one hand and using the doppler with the other, pushing around and all. But then finally...

​

We only got to hear it for a few seconds because of course as soon as that little heartbeat came on I started to cry which made me tense up and the doctor lost it. But it's enough to reassure me that I am really pregnant. There's a baby in there!

*Sorry I'm not sure how to attach the video file as an actual video in the post. I think it downloads the clip

That's so great Jyllian! I'm glad they were able to get the heartbeat for you...even for a second. Did your mil go?

 

[WunnaBubba2]

Argh NO Jess, I'm keeping hopes up that it will go away I've said before that I had ms for 8 weeks and lost 5kgs but never as bad as you so I really do empathise! I know it will be well worth it in the end but would be nicr if you didn't have to suffer anymore

 

[startd]

Hi everyone - can I please join in?

 

[Kirsty3051]

No ...of course you can! Welcome to the mad house

 

[melewen]

Shrimp update! Went for a pg confirmation today and we saw the gorgeous little bean and they even showed a 3d.. We could see the little hands and feet! Looks just like a shrimp... The tech did the heartbeat for a few seconds and we got a bpm of 159. Perfect! Doc says everything looks perfect so we are thrilled unfortunately we learned we have to deliver at this hospital we didn't want to.. It's like 25 minutes away vs one 5 min away! But there's nothing we can do. Oh well

[cutieq]

Aw hello cute little shrimp! Awesome news Hun!

 

[Jrepp]

Why can't you give birth at the hospital you want?

 

[melewen]

Why can't you give birth at the hospital you want?

Apparently the hospital we want is out of network. BLEH! So we would have to pay totally out of pocket--$3600--and we're already paying $600! Oh babies..

Is there another in-network that you like? I hope red tape when it comes to insurance. I went backwards and found the hospital I wanted and then doctors that deliver there

 

[Wishing1010]

Wonderful news, Jyllian!!!! So glad they found the HB!

Cheryl, so happy hun! Everything looks great! They just finished building a hospital like 8 mins from home but I can't imagine leaving my current doc. Current doc 25 mins away though so that sucks lol.

Jess, really praying for you to get some relief soon!!! Been too long! We're hoping for team blue too

Welcome, startd!!!! how far along are you?

 

[melewen]

I still get to use my doctor and the hospital is nothing to sneer at for sure, very modern and a bit luxe (still no bathtubs grrrrr) BUT I was so looking forward to laboring at home for so long, knowing the hospital was so close. It'll all be fine we had just had such plans! Oh well. Google actually shows them being only five minutes further, So maybe ive been taking a long route?

Anyway I made these funny little eggs to tell my best friend and cousin.. I blew all the "egg" out and then dyed them inside and out like a teal color then spray painted them white to look like eggs on the outside.. I'm rolling up a tiny note to put inside that says I'm preggers or whatever, still not sure how I'm going to say it, and then I put it in a little white box with some of that crinkly paper grass and Washi tape on top. Can't wait to see how they react!

Gotcha! You're so creative. I've literally just been sending a text LOL

 

[melewen]

Well I did totally find the idea on pinterest!! Lol. But considering my job I think everyone would be like uh.. You have to do something crafty! I just texted most of my friends really starting my seasons o' bump pictures tomorrow!

Hi everyone - can I please join in?

Welcome to our crazy world..... Don't worry that's what makes this group fun I think i saw you posted before in the other sticking together group.... Glad you got your

BTW, I'm Daphne....

 

[mdscpa]

Jess, we did ask the sonographer to check if there's only one and told her about the different genders we got in our previous scans... She carefully checked and there's only one baby... Still i'm very happy even with a gender switch. I prefer girl but when i was told before that i might be having a girl , i was kinda hoping deep down that the baby becomes a boy next scan... Crazy me, can't really decide what i prefer... All in all, i'm so happy....
