i did this last pregnancy and have done it again this time. if you have any tight shirts in white dark blue or black you can cut them under the arms straight across and use it under your other shirts as a belly band to go over your unbuttoned pants. i went all pregnancy without maternity clothes for work that way. way before i new anything about the ones you can buy that look the same way.

 

[Jesss123]

Thanks girls everything else is still.. terrible but I'm managing things

We've got a few names in mind, just trying to decide on one atm

 

[almosthere]

Jess I hope third try is the charm for you! I thought of you the other day when I heard kate middleton is in the hospital from severe ms I feel so for you both although I am sure she is being pampered in the hospital like no other!

Yay for a bump growing snowflake! I clearly have one but still tiny taking my bump pic tomorrow then I will only be a week away from 4 months omgsh soooo crazy! I can't wait to be in 3rd tri already lol

 

[raelynn]

Almost - I'm the same way! Just wishing for 3rd tri so baby will be here soon.

Walker - Adorable bump! I'm still in the I just look fat not pregnant group

Scheduled my anomaly scan so we should be able to find out if baby is a girl or boy then too. Jan 2. Can't wait!

 

[No Doubt]

Hubby b'day is Jan 20 so I'm thinking I will schedule the gender scan for then. I will be 20 weeks and I think it will be a nice b'day gift for him!

 

[Christie2011]

Congrats Jess!

Hearing about Kate Middleton also made me think of you Jess. You two have something in common, though I'm sure if you two could choose not to you would.

I don't feel like I've gotten any bigger over the past couple of weeks. I'm pretty sure no one has noticed anything yet.

 

[lilbabywalker]

Feeling sad tonight . . . Don't know why.

 

[Sw33tp3a]

Ms Walker hope you get the cheerfull feeling back

 

[No Doubt]

I'm sorry walker...probably just hormones.

 

[Jesss123]

I just looked up the Kate Middleton story.. ah, I feel so sorry for her! I didn't realise she was in hospital because of HG too! I hope it eases off in 3rd tri too! I'm sick of being sick!

Yey for everyones scans, we're really getting there!! I can't believe we're all in 2nd trimester!!

Walker,

Me and OH went out to dinner yesterday right after one of my injections - I kept some of it down and didn't faint until we got home! Then I passed out and woke up this morning, ha. I think because I've not been getting out at all apart from hospital visits, my body couldn't take it anymore yesterday. We were out for two hours and I was SHATTERED.

Now I need to get ready as I'm seeing a few specialists today in regards to LO's few problems and my health! Hope it all goes well! I need to get some maternity clothes to wear around the house too because I am not fitting into anything else I have. I've bought outfits for work mostly but never considered I'd be sitting at home so much, lol.

Weird thing happened yesterday too. We have two snakes - a boy and a girl and the boy is my little sweetheart whereas the girl doesn't mind me but she's not the biggest fan! She would never ever settle down with me, ever. Anyway, I was sitting on the bed and my OH had her out, just messing around. She wanted to come my way, so he let her. Next minute she wrapped herself round on my tummy and just laid there. She was literally keeping me warm then she came up to my hand and just wrapped herself around and sat there, just chilling. I was well surprised, that was the first time she ever actually done that, lol!

 

[No Doubt]

Aww so cute about your snake. I never knew they were...so...I guess so much of a companion...? I don't really know the word I was looking for there, lol. But maybe your snake is a little maternal.

What's going on with the baby? You said there were a few problems.

 

[almosthere]

must be the hormones walker-i was crying over every little thing this passed weekend-things I normally wouldnt cry over-haha-but hope you feel happy soon!

jess-that is very neat about your female snake!

 

[snowflakes120]

Jess - Cool about your snake. Man, I could never have a snake on me! I'd freak! My friends HG calmed down a bit after 20 weeks, I hope your does too. Good thoughts for you and LO.

Hugs Walker. I think we all have those days. I was emotional on Monday for really no reason at all. Hope you woke up bright eyed and bushy tailed today.

Sweetpea - How crafy are you! I'm going to have to dig through some of clothes I planned on giving to goodwill for some old crappy shirts!

No Doubt - Your hubby's B-day is our Anniversary! I think that would be an awesome gift!

Anyone else feel like we've lost alot of girls that used to post regularly? I feel like there are less of us!

I'm an orange today! Yippeee! Oh yeah, I stopped my Progesterone on Sunday and all seems to be going well. I am happy about that! I have the 2nd part of my NT scan next week. They just do another blood draw and tell me the final results - unless they are bad then I will have make a decision on what I want to do. I am quite scared about that because my blood work is what made my NT results not so great. I really hope they improve this time. Super worried still.

Telling family/friends on Saturday. I'm quite anxious. Nervous that something will still happen or that baby isn't ok but excited to let everyone know at the same time.

What's going on with the baby? You said there were a few problems.

Well, her bowels are outside of her body - that's for one. So if that doesn't sort itself out, she's gonna need surgery when she's born so they can put it all back in where it's supposed to be. The other thing is, my placenta is fully covering my cervix so I have that checked out every week, I had my cervix stitched up last week too. They're also suspecting a problem with her heart but amnio never showed anything and I have all clear for Downs etc. Nothing is confirmed though, I'll know more on next weeks scan anyway. I also have thyroid problems - quite extensive (I've lost half my hair ) and my fainting is getting worse which they're worried about because when I pass out, the oxygen that goes to my brain is slightly cut out, so the baby isn't getting enough of it either. That along with heart either racing or being very slow, worries them. I honestly don't think this pregnancy could get any worse. With HG topping it all off it's a complete nightmare - hopefully that will ease off soon!

 

[Jesss123]

Oh and for the 3rd time my blood pressure was in the 130/80 region, so that's getting closely monitored too

Snow - don't freak out until you have all the results back. I had a.. not so good NT result and I did decide to go for amnio especially since our LO might have a heart condition and it all came back clear. Seems like a perfectly healthy baby. NT results aren't always that accurate, because you could have a 1:8952050 ratio and still have a baby born with a syndrome of some sort Good luck with telling the family too!

Also, I haven't been posting much as I've been really busy and ill. I'm either in hospital or in bed and half the time I can't be bothered even putting my phone on, nevermind the PC.

 

[No Doubt]

Snow don't worry, I'm sure everything is fine. Just try to enjoy it all and enjoy telling everyone. Yay for an orange!

Jess, wow, you definitely do have a lot going on. Hopefully everything will sort itself out like ita supposed to hun. I'll be praying for you and the little baby!

 

[lilbabywalker]

Thanks for the hugs! I feel much better today, emotionally, although I woke up with a very sore throat (drainage? hurts when I swallow) and have been kind of sniffly/sneezy all day, so the emotions may also have been the precursor to getting a cold. I hope not! I'm driving to Virginia this weekend (7.5 hours ugh) for a high school friend's baby shower, and I don't want to get her sick!

I'm also nervous because I'm driving her mom, who I've never spent any time with. AWKWARD.
