Summer Sensations! (due May/June 2013)

[TwoRdue]

Hay ladies how is everyone feeling?

I tend to not listen to what the doc says on how to eat as I'm trying to down small meals more often but I just don't find small enough and I'm hungry straight after and end up eating more. I eat every two to three hours but I eat how much I feel like at the time and it seems to be a lot but if your hungry your hungry, I also eat a lot of fruit and salad but don't find it substantial enough so once again I eat more lol.

I use to be a 16dd when I was 13 (first at school to have boobs) and I hated it so when I lost my weight I lost my boobs and hubby love the size they as he not a big boob man but I have a feeling there going to get huge so I will post some out to!!!

well it's so cold today and have nothing to do at all today to I feel I couple of movies in bed will make the the day pass nicely.
can't wait for doc to OK me to go back to my normal routine!!

Jess your quiet hope you are ok hun.....

Welcome walker and Congrats on your BFP

Sorry for any typos I'm on my Ph..

 

[Jesss123]

Welcome walker, and congratulations! You're a lime!

In regards to the boob conversation, I'm impressed! I was pretty flat just a year ago Being a 34DD now is strange though. OH of course loves it, me.. not so much!

Yeah, sorry ladies, I've been pretty quiet as things are just not going my way atm. The worst wave of HG hit me yesterday and it's not going. I spend last night in the bathroom, throwing up I haven't been able to keep water down, never mind fruit and anything else. We're going baby shopping on the 16th though! So I'm looking forward to that!

I've been so hormonal too, it's crazy. I keep threatening OH that I'm gonna just go, that I hate this pregnancy, I hate everything and everyone, my whole life. HG is making me miserable and the hormones are not helping, I've been crying like crazy. This is so unlike me!! The worst thing is, I say stupid things then I regret it, apologise but I still hurt his feelings and that itself is making me feel crap

How is everyone else doing today?

 

[No Doubt]

Oh jess, I'm sure he understands. Constantly being sick like that is horrible. I can't stand it when the waves of nausea hit me so I know you're really going through some things with all of this. Yay for baby shopping though! What are you guys getting?

AFM I have an appt next week to hear the heartbeat, but and going to reschedule for the following week as hubby will be out of town. Plus I bought a Doppler today, so just waiting on the delivery. By the time its here I will be 10 weeks and will have a listen myself. I just don't feel like dealing with the hassle of traffic and parking and blah, blah, as my appt is in the middle of the day. Hubbs picks me up and drops me off so I'll wait for him to get back.

I was finally able to rescheduled my OB appointment that was canceled last week. I have to wait now until next Tuesday I'm anxious to meet the new OB and figure out what appointment schedule they will have me on and when they'll do scans..etc.

I really wish I could see my LO again.

 

[almosthere]

omi and getting please steal away!!! It is great how you can do so many things with these button photos and make them yourselves-vegitable theme-how cute!!!!

p.s. please send me the link to the tutorial?! thanks!!

christie-I completely understand you wanting to see LO I miss seeing my little baby already!!! And to top it all off, no HB to listen to until the 20th (my 12 week apt which is almost 13 weeks really-thanks a lot to whoever scheduled it!)

Did anyone else's OBGYN's schedule every single apt for you?! haha I did not know they did this-pretty nice to be able to count down to each and not have to schedule-but some of the times really interfere with my work-I will have to leave early for late day apts...hope my boss understands!!

As for boobs-since we are sharing the details! I am a 36A so hoping to grow grow grow! hehe...some bras I can fit into a 32b because I swear my right is way bigger-oh the joy of non matching breasts! LOL

 

[almosthere]

welcome walker-I cannot wait to join you in the lime group-what a big difference in size in baby from 10 to 11 weeks, yay!!

loving all of the possible thanksgiving announcements by the way-I announce thanksgiving-still trying to figure out when to announce n the day though! lol before eating or desert time hmmm

[Jesss123]

No Doubt, thank you We're gonna have a wonder around town, we have Babies R Us (which is huuuugeeee!) Mamas & Papas, Mothercare and a private baby shop all next to each other on the same street! We'll see what we like and see what we could start getting. I know for a fact, it's time to start buying nappies as you go through LOADS. I had my nephew with me when he was first born and boy, that little boy went through 12/14 nappies in a day! I don't want to have to go shopping in the first couple of weeks so we're gonna stock up on different brands and sizes of nappies. Might get some baby clothes too, we're gonna get bedding stuff next month, when we move and we'd like to have a look to see what there is, what it looks like and what reviews it has!

I had my MW appointment today, god, that was LONG. I was there for an hour and a half chatting away. We spoke about feeding options, birth plan, listened to babys heartbeat on a doppler, all the tests (which I decided to have), confirmed my scan on Friday. From now on I'm going to see her every 2 weeks, every other Tuesday pretty much until 34 weeks then I will be seeing her every week. This is gonna be a lot of appointments! She gave me her mobile number so I can call her 24/7 and she said next time, she can just come visit me in the house if I'm still throwing up really badly and feeling weak, so yey!

Generally speaking, I'm feeling allright'ish this morning so might try to get some chores done and then back to sleep, i'll have to feed the snakes later too so hopefully OH remembers to get some snake food on his way back from work!

How's everyone?

 

[No Doubt]

Wow jess, that's wonderful that your doc is so hands on. Looks like you picked the right one. Sounds like you are going to have a blast shopping...a little jealousy coming from my way, lol. I said I was going to start buying a pack of diapers too everytime we got paid and between me and the hubbs that's three times a month. It was one of the tips on my preg tracker. It said buy a pack everytime you get paid, tape the receipt to it and this way you can exchange them if need be.

I checked last night and the Doppler is supposed to be here on Wednesday, so tomorrow. That was fast.

 

[Jesss123]

Yey for Doppler!! I love hearing baby's heart beat. It's so reassuring!!

 

[Jesss123]

I'm sorry about this but I think my hormones are running wild...

Me and OH have been together for a while. Everything was fine until the last couple of months when he started slipping small lies here and there, I of course found out about them, we had a big fight a couple of weeks ago and agreed to a 'No lying policy'.

All was going well until a couple of days ago where he was talking to one of his old 'friends'. I would have left it alone as I'm not one to keep a very close eye on him as I trusted him and he does the same with me but.. he literally started hiding the conversation from me, by turning the monitor off, tabbing out to another browser and that was just when I got off the couch, I wasn't even trying to see what he was typing and I didn't really care but when I saw how he reacted I got suspicious.

I was in a pretty bad relationship before, lies, cheating and everything else and I really wanted this to not be anything like it but in my head it seems like it's all heading in that exact direction.

When I asked him why he was hiding it, he just said 'it's a private conversation', I just said 'OK...' But the tone of voice he used to say that, it was like he was saying 'Stay the hell away from this and don't you dare read this' I would never read his conversation and I never have!

Then when we went to bed he explained he was talking about a party to a girl from Ireland he met a 5 years ago, quite frankly I know that's bullshit because that's when his ex was pregnant.. so he either cheated or he's bullshit me. Then he said maybe it wasn't that long ago.. but he never gave me a clear answer. I know for a fact that it was few months before we got together. Then when I asked.. 'was there anything between you two?' he quickly replied 'no' then a few lies later, turns out they slept together a 'few' times. Then after another few lies it turned out that they were infact 'really, really close' but it was never a relationship.

What's pissed me off was the fact that instead of coming out and saying it straight up, he's been hiding it. Why would he hide the conversation and try to keep it private that much if it was just a conversation about a 'party that went wrong'. In my opinion, they were talking about being together, maybe in the past, maybe there's unfinished business, I don't know, but he hasn't told me and whenever I ask, he just changes the subject.

In addition.. they met online, usual 'I really, really like you, maybe we should meet up?' Kinda story, we met the same way. It just seems like history is repeating itself? If that makes sense?

I don't want lies and secrets from now on.

I texted him as he's at work at the moment and said that I NEED to know, I'm not gonna get angry or shout, I just need to know what's going on. Does he still have feelings for her? Vice versa? Is there unfinished business? Are the lies and secrets gonna end? If things go the way they're going, I will end it. I've been here before a few years ago and it was the start of when the relationship went completely downhill.

Up until now, we had a no lies, no secrets kind of relationship. He knows everything about me and about my past. Some things I didn't want to tell him, but I did, straight away, without bullshitting, because I love him. I don't want to change how we were now because he's uncomfortable about one conversation. Clearly, if there was nothing there, this wouldn't be an awkward topic.

I don't know where I'm going with this, it's just doing my head in. I don't know how to act or what to do.

 

[MissAnnabelle]

Two - glad you are doing well. When do you go back to the doc? That is how I have been eating also...every 2-3 hrs! I agree about the boobs - I have had to buy a few new bras too.

Nodoubt - what kind of doppler did you buy?

Can't believe I am 10 weeks already! Feeling very blessed

 

[Sw33tp3a]

jess i hope you get the answer you are looking for and with you expecting it may be a way he is regressing. best of luck hun my last relationship was like that and it never worked and if my husband ever acted like that i would be gone, i delt with those issues for too long.

 

[No Doubt]

I bought the same one everyone else did, the sonoline b off the fetaldoppler.net. $55 which was a steal when the original price was $300.

Jess, I'm sorry hun. I think it could be your hubbs acting out too. Talking about a baby and then actually expecting one is completely different. Hopefully it will get better, but I di think you are entitled to answer about all this secrecy. He may have a hard time expressing his feelings and that's fine, but the secrecy is not.

 

[lilbabywalker]

I got a vague message from the Midwife Center last night (we "need to talk with you"). I'm so scared right now that something bad came up in my blood test last week! What if there's something wrong??

 

[MissAnnabelle]

Thanks Nodoubt - I am not sure if I should get one or not. Has everyone been having success with their doppler?

Jess - the reason I never commented earlier is because I really can't give you an objective/theraputic type answer. I think that sounds like total bullshit and you don't deserve it - period.

 

[Jesss123]

Yey for everyone dopplers, I think I'm over using mine I use it about 10 times a day My paranoid mind!

We actually had a pretty good chat. There was a lot of history between them two and he didn't want me to know as he thought I'd freak out with things already being crazy with this pregnancy etc. I actually completely understand what has been going on. He showed me the conversation and explained everything.

He's also said that he's freaking out. You know, after the miscarriages he got to the point that he thought we would never have kids, I sort of did too. He's worried something will go wrong at the scan on Friday, in his mind a pregnancy isn't viable until we're in second trimester. I see where he's coming from and I feel sorry for him, I never knew he actually felt like that. He doesn't want me to stress out hence he didn't tell me about all his worries, he knows I bled A LOT in this pregnancy and every time I've bled he thought it was it. This has been a roller coaster for both of us.

We had a good chat and got things sorted though.


Walker, it might be something but it might be nothing, I wouldn't worry about anything until you speak to your MW!

How's everyone?

 

[No Doubt]

Walker try to stay positive. I've had calls like that from docs and I just want to punch them in the face when everything is fine. Some just won't leave anything at all on v/m. Hopefully everything is fine.

 

[lilbabywalker]

I just got off the phone with the MWC (finally) - lil baby walker's fine!

But, because of my thalassemia, my blood counts are low (hemoglobin = 9.6, hematocrit = 28.9, platelets = 114 [I have no idea what this means, but it's what they told me]). They want me to see a specialist, and to determine if I'm eligible for a birth center birth or not. I really hope I am! But as long as baby's safe, that's all I care about.

Phew!
