Told my parents today and they were soooo excited! This will be their first grandchild :thumbup:
 
Yay! Exciting!

I think you ladies have the right idea with the Doppler. I made a deal with myself to only use it once a week at the most, and NOT to stress if I couldn't find it.

Well, tried today for just a few minutes and no luck! Saw some high readings on the display but couldn't hear anything but mine. Not stressing though, especially consider how sick i felt today!

Anyways, I'll try again in a week with a very full bladder and maybe it'll do the trick!
 
Morning All

Lovely sunny Monday morning! Hope you're all well! Those back to work after a nice Easter break - good luck and hope your first day back goes well!

Hanyou - glad the parent telling went well! We were nervous too.. don't know why as they were all super excited for us but I guess it's such big news isn't it! Happy news though!!

Mini - I agree with the others, i think FF may adjust your OV in the next couple of days :thumbup:

Gaiagirl - that sounds like a good doppler plan. That was my one concern too, not being able to find the heart beat. When I saw my midwife even she struggled so that confirmed to me that if a proffessional took a while to find it, then I would have no hope! She also said when babies are so small it's harder to find as they're swimming around and moving so much. She kept having to chase after the heartbeat as baby was moving lots! Was pretty cool though, as she could tell when the baby gave out a big kick! LOL I couldn't feel a thing!!
 
Han - so glad you decided to tell them and that it all went well :hugs: It's the first grandchild for both sets of parents for us too, which is quite cool :thumbup:

So I told my class today. I let them all say their news from the Easter holidays and then asked them if they wanted to hear my news. I got them all to gather around close and told them it was big news and that I was going to have a baby. I showed them my bump and tried explained that there was a little baby in there but it's not ready to come out yet. I put a ruler on my tummy and told them it was as long as the ruler. Then showed them the scan pictures after explaining that there's a special machine that can see inside mummy's tummys. They wanted to know if I was having a boy or a girl so I told them I'll be having another picture taken on friday to find out. Which then led to the obvious discussion of how I'll tell if it's a boy of girl. One of the little boys said "you'll know if it's a little boy if it's got a tinky", so I just said yes, if it's got a little willy then we'll know it's a boy! And amazingly another boy knew about the umbilical cord and that that was how the baby got food. I tried to explain the time scale to them, saying that I would have the baby in September when they have moved up to their next class. But for some of them the concept of time isn't firmly in place so it was quite difficult!

So no awquard questions. A few of them looked really excited but a few of them looked totally not bothered by it all.

I didn't tell any parents but hopefully some of the children will reveal the news this evening and I'll get some questions and comments tomorrow morning.

I'm really happy that they know now :cloud9:

Hope everyone has had a good monday. I'm exhasted now :sleep: Looking forward to pizza for dinner and then a nice sleep.
 
It's so twisted! The only thing I want to eat is either taco's or pizza, and I work in a pizza shop! :dohh: I just dont want that pizza lol
 
Aww yay, HM I'm so glad it went well with your parents, and Pusscat your story is adorable!! :cloud9: They are so cute at that age! I can't believe one of them knew about the umbilical cord...must be a kid with a younger sibling!

HM, I say go for the pizza and tacos until you get tired of them. There really are worse things you could be eating. Around 9-11 weeks one of the only things I ever wanted to eat was bean and cheese burritos...I had maybe 4-5 per week. Eventually I threw one up and since then I can't even look at a burrito...but I wouldn't have survived that time without them! :wacko:

That's what I've been trying to do is roll with whatever I'm craving since that is the only time I ever really want to eat. If I dont eat what I'm craving, usually im too sick to eat :wacko:

The morning sickness hasnt really let up that much, so I have been having to use those pills daily, which I dont really like but I would die of dehydration without them :dohh: I have only been taking half of a pill though to try to help control the vomiting.
I talked to my mom yesterday about her pregnancies after I told her about mine and she said she too had horrible, horrible morning sickness with my brother and my sister (she didnt have it with me :haha:). She gave me some tips that helped her and I think I need to make a trip to the store to pick up some things. Its just been hard to want to eat at all, so im hoping that part lets up soon, along with the vomiting.
 
Glad telling the parents went well HM! This will be my in-laws first grandbaby too! We told ours right after we left the dr at our first appointment. We told them that early because we planned on waiting till 8wks or so with the first, so when I lost the baby we told them because I knew mine would want to know and they really seemed hurt that they didn't know about the pregnancy. So we went ahead in case it happened again, which obviously so far so good. They told us the risk of MC goes down some when you get a strong heartbeat and goes down from there:thumbup:

Awww thanks seaweed!! I sure hope I get my figure back and QUICK!! lol Guess we will just have to see!

Baby seems to have figured out how to stretch, as when I was walking up to the front counter at work I had to stop because I suddenly started having A LOT of pressure pushing down and forward at the bottom of my tummy! SO WEIRD!! Felt like my uterus was gonna fall out:haha: He did it again later in the afternoon:flower:
 
Hanyou don't feel bad, I just scarfed down fettucine Alfredo and a piece of chocolate cake. I don't think ive ever eaten that for dinner but it was SOOOO good and worth it!!!!

I figure if I have to feel sick for 7 weeks I better at least get to eat what I want!
 
OK I broke down and tried again...and found it! Just for a few seconds and then baby took off, but was about 160-170 bpm.

Phew, relief. Ill try to let DH hear later this week or on the weekend...it is so addictive but I really want to let the little one be and not pester them! :winkwink:
 
Awww yay, glad you heard it Gaiagirl! :cloud9: It really is early at this point but I know how the mind can get to thinking something could be wrong...
 
Yay glad you managed to hear the HB Gaiagirl!

I'm definately feeling little kicks now!! Yesterday was the turning point and the tickles were stronger! Last evening while I was doing the washing up Baby was really tickling me and made me giggle! :cloud9:
 
I just woke up 30 minutes ago and am ready to go back to bed :sleep: I am just so tired... I can't seem to get enough sleep.
 
Yay for kicks, smawfl!! :cloud9: That's awesome! Hehe I remember a week or two when they felt ticklish...that's a funny feeling.

Aww, I remember feeling exactly the same way, HM :hugs: like there were not enough hours somehow for me to get all the sleep I needed! I'm sorry first tri is treating you so hard, and I hope it gets better really soon!
 
Well FF seems to be adament I am 8DPO. I'm sure I'm only 6 but does that mean I can test 2 days earlier?! :thumbup:
