Summer Sugar Babies! - Early July Due Dates

[kgriffin]

hey ladies
so her surgeon showed up for the appt isntead of her oncologist,

they said that the cancer spot has a hole in it and leaked, so she may need the chemo, but we wont know for another 3 weeks whe the oncologist is actually supposed to show up. im very frustrated.

hope everyone is doing well, can we all believ ewe are nearly hafl way there

 

[Mrs W 11]

Oh no Kate how frustrating, that's so awful that you all have to wait another 3 weeks. I'll keep everything crossed that your mum ends up not needing the chemo. I hope your mum is doing ok in recovery from her op and that these 3 weeks pass quickly. Hugs to you all x

Oh dear, ladies, i just made a terrible mistake! I have two friends who are expecting and one organised a baby shower for the other.....They are not that common in the UK and the ones I've been to, the moms-to-be have known about it happening.....So i got an invite and couldn't make it. When i saw the girl whose shower it is, I just said 'oh, im so sorry i can't come to your shower'.....turns out I RUINED the surprise!!! I feel so bad about it and think the organiser is justifiably upset with me

 

[joeybrooks]

Oh Jill, I am always doing silly things like that. I am sure they will realise it is just your pregnancy brain and forgive you!!!

Just an update from me. I went pram shopping at the weekend....

It is almost impossible!!! I have my choices narrowed down to a few and I am going to a "showroom", seriously, you'd think it was a car, to compare a few. Lets just say we are getting there.

I have felt movement more than just the flutters that I had from a few weeks back. They arent definite kicks just yet, but much stronger. Can't wait for OH to be able to feel them, but I hear that it is a few weeks before that will happen.

I have my 20 week scan on Monday 20th!!! OMG I am so excited, really cannot wait. As much as I want to remain team yellow, I don't know who I was kidding, I cannot wait to find out.

Not sure if you guys will recall me mentioning the pain in my coccyx, but the Dr referred me for physio and the hospital contacted me last week to say I could come in tomorrow. I hope they are able to do something to help as I can't see it improving as I get bigger.

Think that is all from me. Has anyone anything special planned for valentine's day. I will probably just have a nice meal at home and watch the champions league on TV (football/Soccer). OH is a very lucky man that I enjoy sports as much as he does, otherwise I would be insisting on something much fancier lol!!!

 

[Mrs__P]

Well ladies....today is the day!! I have my 20 week scan at 2pm. eeeek!!! So excited. A little valentines surprise for us both.

We are going to go out for some tea after and go to the cinema too. Looking forward to it. Just got another 3 hours of work to get through.

Just another couple of updates. Getting stronger kicks now.....I think DH felt one last night. Then baby went all shy! hehe. I have now put 9lbs on. It has been steady and I have put 1lb a week on for the last 8 weeks.

So, couple of questions, Jill, did you get anywhere with your tv appearance?? And oh dear about your spilling the beans on your friends shower. lol. Never mind hey. Blame the baby brain. hehe.

Kate, its good to hear updates re your mum. FX'd again that you get everything sorted.

Joey, good luck with the pram shopping. I have already chosen mine!! Ordered it 4 weeks ago. I went to a place called pram world. They had every type of pram you can imagine. Was a bit scary when I first got there. But after 2 hours in there we had narrowed it down. I then went to the store that actually did the one I want (mamas and papas) and ordered it from there. Good luck!! Make sure you give them a test ride!! I found some of them really heavy and some that bouncy that I would be afraid of the baby bouncing out!!

[joeybrooks]

Nic, so exciting about your scan, mine is on Monday and I am so excited. Are you going to find out the gender??? You sound like you have a lovely day planned - enjoy and I hope it all goes well xx

 

[klsltsp]

oooh Nic!!! so exciting!! have fun at your scan! mine was AMAZING!!! Monday huh Joey.. it's soo soon!!

I'm feeling stronger and stronger kicks too, all I have to do is drink grapefruit juice my OH has felt the baby move, like a mini wave but not a proper kick yet.

As for the prams (or strollers her in north america ) we've narrowed it down to a few, and I've been checking the safety ratings for the car seat portion.. I'm a little particular or maybe anal is a better word hahah oh well!

Kate any update on your mom?

well should get my son ready for school!!

Happy Valentines day to everyone!! it's hard to believe that we're all half way there... and since I'm having the baby at 39 weeks.. only 19 weeks to go!! yikes!!! hahaha

Happy Valentines Day Ladies,I have had a little trouble with my internet connection lately so I have some catching up to do. Tomorrow is our final scan. I still havent bought anything for Baby,but I think after this ultrasound I will be able to relax and feel like its all ok and start buying things. I got a gym membership for Valentines Day,and thank God! i have gained 20lbs!!!!! I feel so unattractive right now. Hopefully I can keep my weight gain under control the rest of the pregnancy. Im still sick off and on so it makes eating the right things hard sometimes.

Its so exciting to see everyone getting there scans in the next couple weeks.Im curios to see the Boy/Girl ratio.

Have a Happy Valentines Day!

Awww hey girls! Man, i'm so sorry, i was SO hormonal and upset when i ruined that shower surprise. I was in floods of tears! Silly baby brain!

Just found from the TV people yesterday i'll be filming in london in march and april- ie. 6-7 months pregnant! Not looking forward to being like a whale on TV but it's being screened later in the year by which point i'll hopefully have a cute little one and be losing weight! It was too good to pass up!

How is everyone doing? We have our 20 wk scan tomorrow. Is anyone getting a big bump now? xx

 

[klsltsp]

Jill I think that's amazing, I think that I would rather be filming at 6 - 7 months preggo and there be no question that I'm pregnant as opposed to earlier when people won't be sure...

Good luck on your scan tomorrow!!! are you finding out the sex?

As for bumps. yup mine's pretty big, I'm having trouble grooming "down there" hahah my bump doesn't move and it's hard to see LOL

Cecilia I too am approaching the 20lb mark.. but I'm still holding at 19 lbs! I feel great mind you, have been doing yoga when I can, I miss the gym since I normally go 3 - 5 times a week but that can wait until after the baby's here. I gained about 100 lbs last time, so I'm happy with just under 20 lbs at 20 weeks. I've been consistently gaining 1 lb per week since about 13 weeks. I started this pregnancy 30 lbs lighter than my last pregnancy, so I'm happy that I still haven't reached the weight that I started at last time and we're half way! and since I know I'm having the baby at 39 weeks on the nose that helps too. If I can stay under 60 lbs I'll be happy. I'm in general eating much better, I still have a lot of aversions, but I'm doing well to not be eating all of the time, I eat when I'm hungry and that's it, which some days is every 1.5 hrs!! but other days it's just my 3 regular meals..

As for buying stuff we've done a little. I'm actually planning a shopping trip with my mom, sister, and a couple of girl friends, we're going at the end of March. Other than that we've bought a few big things, the crib and mattress, change table, and the bedding,I've been researching strollers and car seats and I think we've narrowed it down, so I'm just waiting to see if it goes on sale. We're going to paint the room next week. For me, assuming there are no more problems, I won't have any more ultrasounds We may do a 3-D ultrasound around 26-28 weeks, we'll wait and see.

Nic did you guys find out the sex?

I can't remember the count we're at now I think kate and Cecilia are having girls, I'm having a boy. Are there others?

Well should keep working hope everyone has a great valentine's day.

Hi ladies.

Well, my scan went really well. Baby is all good. I got another pic. Will post it when I'm at home as I can't get my phone to send it...grrrr.

DH had to spend 20 mins trying not to look at the screen so he wouldn't see what sex it is. hehe. So we stayed strong and are still on team yellow

It was a bit of a pain. We had just a 20 min wait for the scan. Then 20 mins having the scan. Then 1 hour 45 min wait to see the midwife!!!! I was in there 2 mins for her to take my blood pressure and say all is good you can go. I was a little bad tempered by then. We missed the first screening of the film and had to wait 2 hours for the next one. Never mind.

Jill, thats great news re your show. I hope they show it here!!!

Good luck to everyone else having their scans. I will update my signature to it shows team yellow

Nic xx

 

[klsltsp]

awesome pic!!!

how about you other ladies who had scans yesterday?

 

[RaisingMiniMe]

Well Ladies Sorry I have been MIA I have ready everyones posts about scans and how exciting??? I know that I am having a girl officaly.. After a couple years of trying I finaly get another baby! I have been MIA because I had to move out of my house as my other half decided he no longer wants to be with me. So it's been about three weeks now and it's getting easier, his reasoning is that i have changed with pregnancy.. However his reasoning also looked about 6 years younger than me when i ran into him at a local gas station. Anyways WHOOHOO Ladies!

 

[kgriffin]

beautiful pic nic!

wow raisingminime, thats terrible, im so sorry to hear that. Glad you have something to look forward to and that you are getting stronger each day.

so my tickers are off, im 20 weeks today, cantaloupe! woooooooo!!

 

[klsltsp]

Michele.. that is terrible news, I'm so sorry. My ex left me when my son was 3 months old so I kind of get it.... glad to hear that you are feeling stronger every day and that little girl inside of you is doing well!! Are you still measuring big? are they still planning an early birth for you? weren't they suggesting 31 weeks or something before?

yeah cantaloupes!!! Kate any news on your mom? I have to say I can't believe all that your mom is going through, it was so smooth with my mom...

How were the other scans? I thought we had a couple of others this week? maybe that's my baby brain and they're next week

Hi all,

I had my 20 week scan on wednesday and it all went well and was amazing!! I was so nervous to know that baby was ok and excited to see him/her again!! Everything was great and baby is healthy and all the tests showed he/she is perfectly normal. We were thrilled!

Its so fascinating to see what they can do these days and all the things they can check on the scan. It went really quick, she said the baby was a show off and so it didnt take long to get everything she needed! She asked if we wanted her to 'sex' the baby for us and we said no..... so we dont know what we are having and are still team yellow!

We then went for dinner and to the cinema to celebrate. Oh and I got 2 maternity tops and some cutesy baby gros etc.

Half way ladies! Only around 20 weeks to go, I am so excited!! My bump is getting bigger and I feel lots of wriggling around which is the most amazing feeling in the world. Finally I am starting to LOVE being pregnant. How about everyone else?

I have delveoped heartburn/acid reflux though this week, possibly from eating too much as my stomach is now all squished up and I cant eat as much and feel very uncomfortable if I do have too much. Everything repeats on me its gross.

Michelle I am so sorry to hear about the situation with your other half. I hope that you are doing ok. Look after yourself wont you and if we can help in anyway, even just to listen, you know where we are. Congrats on having a little girl thats fab news!! Thats 3 girls and 1 boy now plus us yellows!!

Lovely scan pic Nic, I'll try and post mine in a sec. Glad your scan went well

Hope you all have fabulous weekends ladies.

Becky
