(TEAM) Aphrodite - delivering Tigers in 2010

Hi hibiscus..... Sounds like you had a great appointment today. Congrats!

So when are you all likely to find out gender (if you are wanting to of course!)? Hope you are all well ladies xx

We have a Level II U/S at 18w4d, so that is 2 weeks from Friday. Woohoo! I definitely want to know gender, so I hope the little one cooperates!

Hey 2016 - you must be so exhausted, you poor thing! How's everything at work, does anyone know yet? osteopath... good idea! I gave my GP a call today to see if she will write me a referral, she still doesn't think it's any more than the bones pulling apart, but given that I have prior injury in the area, and given that I can hardly walk, I really don't think I can just ignore this and hope that it goes away (or heaven forbid, get worse!). I can go straight to a specialist here without getting a referral, but then it just makes it difficult to get insurance to reimburse.

Yeah I told my bosses and 6 work colleagues (we are a small team) right after the scan at 5+5. They were so supportive through both ectopics I thought it was only fair to let them share in the good news for once!
They were all really happy for me and my boss had tears in his eyes and looked like he wanted to hug me! Awwww
So at least they know and are sympathetic to my tiredness, gagging episodes and moodiness. I am trying to be good but I doubt I could have hidden it from them!


Devi.....that is so cute - I want my belly to be lopsided! It is very comforting to know that Squiggle is borrowing my beauty! But I am just sick and tired of feeling sick and tired y'know? Wouldn't trade it for the world but its much harder than I thought it would be...

Awesome news, 2016! I'm glad you were able to tell your colleagues. It's such a weight lifted. You don't have to worry about slipping and it's so nice to have that kind of support

I have had occasional flutters that I've wondered about since about 13 weeks, but in the last week I have definitely felt the baby doing "something" on several occasions. I notice it, but as soon as I pause what I'm doing to see if I can pay attention, it stops! I'm hoping it becomes more regular soon.

When did you first notice anything??

 

[MommyMichele]

I felt more definite movements about 13 weeks, some flutters around 10 weeks, and now I get get kicks most of the day now!

13 more days till our gender scan!!

Can't wait to hear which little treasure you are carrying MM and hibiscus! I can't remember what I guessed before but I am guessing
for hibiscus....and
for MM!

Everyone is thinking girl for me now! I don't mind either way although I'm hoping for another girl, then I'd have 3 of each! NO TIE BREAKER!

DH and MIL are hoping for a boy to carry on the family name. Remember, DH has no children of his own, he's step daddy to my kiddos. They say they'll be happy either way but I know they are really hoping for a boy.

I think we'll all be happy with whatever is in there.

Hey everyone! I feel like I'm way behind...I've been reading all the updated, just not commenting much. I have been throwing up so much, mostly stomach acid and it's made me lazy

hibiscus: I just love your bump!!! I think it's perfect! I can't believe how soon you can find out the gender, hope it goes that fast for me! I'll be patiently waiting to see what you're having! I'm going to guess boy!

mommymichele: You get to find out soon too!! That's so exciting!!

tink: Not sure if I said it and I'm very late but happy belated halfway!!

 

[hibiscus07]

2016--Happy 7 weeks! Each week in the first trimester is a huge milestone to be celebrated.
As for the prediction of a girl, I guess we'll know soon! I can see the advantage to either a boy or a girl, but I think DH is hoping for a boy.

Nicole: Thanks for the nice words about my bump! I'm feeling a little less gross these days and a little more round. How far along are you now? I don't see your banner anymore.

MM: that's awesome about kicks throughout the day. I hope I start feeling that (more than the occasional "something") soon!!

Even I started to feel the kiddo around 15 weeks with tickling and then turned into daily popping sensation around 17 weeks.. which got stronger and stronger and now can see Pandu doing Karate from outside - gosh tomorrow is 22 weeks!! Only 15 weeks more to go until I can say "DUE ANYTIME NOW"!!!!!!! (full term is 37 weeks right??)

SO ladies does the 6th month start on 22 weeks / 23 weeks?? I know 3rd trimester starts 27 weeks ..

 

[Devi#1]

where did all our tickers disappear??

 

[2016]

The baby-gaga.com site is down I think...

BTW, you guys are probably familiar with this already, but if not, here's a great link. Birth stories on thebump.com. It is fun to read them now but I'm sure it will be reassuring for us first-timers as we get closer to our due dates! https://community.thebump.com/cs/ks/blogs/birth_stories/default.aspx

Hi All-
If you haven't seen this show, it's worth watching. It's part of PBS's Frontline series and is on vaccinations. It's really good. I'm a strong PROponent of vaccinations, so if you're not, you might have a different opinion on the show, but I'm curious about your opinions.

I'm very sad today.

A lady I know is giving birth today. She's 21 weeks pregnant. There is nothing they can do for the baby. They can't stop the birth and they've tried everything. She lost a baby last year, and 3 years ago she lost twins who were conjoined at the heart. All 4 babies are boys.

Please pray for the family and keep them in your hearts. Baby Evan is becoming an angel today.

OMG. That makes me really sad, too. I'm so sorry to hear about this. I can't imagine going through that. I'll keep her in my thoughts.
Does the Dr know what caused this?

No. All I know is that they can't conceive on their own. I don't know her to well but my heart is breaking for them. They have no surviving children. This time her body didn't cooperate.
