Summer Sensations! (due May/June 2013)

[No Doubt]

Jess, sorry about the u/s. Hopefully this means the sickness is backing off now that you're going into 2nd tri. Fxd for that!

 

[raelynn]

Jess - I'll be right there with you on the late appointments. I don't have my next one until Nov 28 but I should get a scan with the genetic testing on the 19th.

Starting to feel a bit better yesterday and today. I'm hoping that means MS is going away as I get closer to 2nd Tri. No puking for 2 days now

 

[MissAnnabelle]

Rae - glad you have been feeling better My genetic testing is on the 20th.

 

[raelynn]

Thanks MissA! Hopefully we have good news on the genetic scans!

 

[No Doubt]

Glad you feel better rae!

Wonderful news! I most definately heard the heartbeat. It was actually in the same place as I thought yesterday only it lasted longer, not as long as I would have liked, but long enough to distinguish and for it to pick up on the doppler. It read in at 162. And yes, I definitely have an active sprout cause I made sure to keep a steady hand today, lol. I was able to hear it twice. So freaking geeked!

Yay for a heart beat

Sorry you have to wait longer for your scan Jess I know I would be upset to.

We I am starting to feel lots better and spotting is almost gone (finger crossed) and decided to bake some scones for the hubby for lunch just waiting for him to come home and help with my rabbit as he died in the night

Welcome Natalie!!! Congrats! How are you feeling?

Jess - so sorry you didn't get to go to your scan I think I'd have climbed out the window! I hate those doors that you have to lock/open with a key from the inside, they really freak me out! Hate the thought of being locked in and unable to get out... (and your story today proves that it happens!!)

Wow Omi, that's a fab bump! I'm very jealous! Although it must be hard to hide...Have you announced your news or do you have to try and cover it up?! I'm still in my usual jeans but I have noticed that one particular pair that I usually need a belt for now no longer needs one so yay!!

Kathy - delighted things are moving ahead for you!

Rae - hope you continue to feel better!

NoDoubt - yay for feeling the heartbeat!

Two - how are you doing today?

I'd say I'll be with you all for the late appointments! At the moment I'm waiting for a letter from the hospital with the date of my scan - supposed to be at 12 weeks but I was so late organising it that I'd be very surprised if they manage to fit me in then!

Right, I'm absolutely shattered now girlies so must head for my bed! Talk tomorrow!

 

[Jesss123]

No doubt, yey for the heartbeat! I seem to be able to find the HB now anytime I like. Even after I ate, with or without a full bladder. It even works when I sit at the PC. LO is a lot higher up now so I think that's why! It's still a very fast heartbeat and my doc always laughs at me and says it's a girl!

I'm annoyed about the scan, I had a right go at OH but I can't do anything about it now. We couldn't even get out of the window as only the top of our windows open (stupid new windows ) and neither I or OH would even fit through.

Glad everyone is doing well here! We're all almost in second tri!

 

[raelynn]

No Doubt - So glad you found the heartbeat. I've consistently found mine in the same place each time but you are right, it is very easy to lose it! Just the slightest twist and it goes away or sometimes I guess the baby moves and I lose it too. Still love hearing it though!

I told my boss I'm pregnant today since we had a meeting to go over stuff anyway and it was just easier to do it when we had some privacy. Very excited I don't have to keep it a secret anymore

 

[almosthere]

LOL thanks snow-I pooped twice today, what a treat!! HAHA!!!

I am SO EXCITED!!! Purchased maternity jeans from Gap-very sexy jeans actually-skinny legs, and 30% off!! Still a bit pricey, but they are SO cozy. They even had a belly to try on with mat. shirts-I looked so rediculous pregnant!!! LOL I bet it will be better with a natural big bump. I am totally noticing my bump now-feels great to not only feel pregnant, but to start looking pregnant too! I bet I will have a super cute little bump by 14 weeks!

Jess-so sorry-I remember with my IVF cycle ready to start stimming then realizing I did not have the pen to insert my med and needle into...I was very very upset about it delaying my pregnancy-but it all turned out wonderfully!!! Just think on the positive side-you will get to see baby more developed and maybe moving more when you go, even if its only by a few days =)

Hey Girls!
I've been searching through youtube for any yoga/pilates prenatal videos... Found a few that have some great comments so though I'd share in case any of you are interested!

The very first one is a video showing poses to avoid, thought I'd include it just to be safe! At the moment I'm downloading them from youtube so I can watch them on the tv instead Looking forward to starting!

Oops!! Wasn't expecting the actual videos to show in the post, just meant to post the links!!

 

[No Doubt]

Broody this is great thanks. I still haven't been able to find a preggo yoga DVD. Maybe I will find one today while shopping, hut if not this is a great alternative!

 

[GettingBroody]

No problem, I'm just a cheapskate at heart!! The Pilates one in particular looks really good - its an hour long and looks like one you'd buy! Now I just have to get an exercise ball and maybe some straps!

 

[GettingBroody]

Just noticed we're at 100 pages and nearly 1000 posts!!!!

 

[No Doubt]

Well then I will be on the lookout for a ball today then, lol. I have straps from my workout videos I was doing before I got pregnant.

I found Thumper again this morning, relatively in the same spot...a little lower. And this time I was able to listen for a while. Hubby finally heard too. It was kind of cool cause my hb is so loud and hers is so soft you could kind of hear both at the same time but then I tried to really zone in on here and it worked. So happy about that!

[almosthere]

thanks broody! and woohoo no doubt-how exciting!

 

[No Doubt]

I had a wonderful day today. I went to the 70% off sale and found a crib and chester for $699. I have to wait and see about the dresser, but I may decide to not get the dresser anyawy. We are on our way...so excited. Once the big stuff is out of the way we can focus on the little stuff over the next 4 months along with daycare, then I can relax the last 2, which is my plan when I'm too big and uncomfortable to want to do anything, lol.
