TIE WELCOME JACK, HENRY, DEVON, ROXAS, PENELOPE, MATILDA, THEO and Charlotte!!

Well our appointment went well, and baby looks good. It's just an itty bitty peanut right now but we got to see the little heart beating away. The heart rate was 103 and the Dr. said anything above 100 is great. I was off by only two days on my due date, the official one is now July 31st so I am exactly 6wks today!
I was so relieved to see the little blip on the screen, I kept thinking something would end up being wrong. I go back the first week of the new year, which doesn't seem to be all that far away!

Here is the little blip!

I love it Kayla!! Looks like it's going to be another boy!!! Yup, calling it that early

 

[Jess19]

I was thinking boy too!!

 

[mammag]

Hear that Mrs. S? Me and Jess are calling boy

 

[MrsStutler]

Hear that Mrs. S? Me and Jess are calling boy

I really hope you are both right!! I am hoping for another boy, we are doing the same early scan like we did with Roxas so hopefully we will know by the second week in February! I did the baking soda test and it said boy, so we'll see! I'm really tempted to try one of those intelligender tests, but they are so darn expensive. I really want to see if it's right or not

 

[Jess19]

Were you temping and opking Mrs.S?
Do you know when you DTD?

I figured I was having a girl because we only DTD 2 days berfore ovulation.
They say female sperm last longer. So I figured that my odds of having a girl were very high

My SIL that had the twins was DTD every day! And I figured they were both boys (I was right) because those male sperm fly up the uterus to that eggy!

Those are all just speculations but I haven't been wrong yet!

 

[MrsStutler]

Haha, I wasn't tracking jack squat this time. Apparently I'm not allowed to get pregnant if I'm watching my cycle. We were DTD about every other day, some times every 2 days, just kind of whenever. I'm hoping DH got the "boys only" gene that seems to run in the Stutler family. Hubby has 5 other brothers, so I have my fingers crossed.

I just looked at our online class page where our instructors post our assignments and whatnot...and now I'm horrified and want to hide. This next semester is going to be utterly intense. I have 12hr clinicals once a week, plus class from 9-2 once a week and another 4 hours a week of lab time. That doesn't include our online pharmacology course which is crazy. I'm a teensy bit freaked out now. The third semester is really freaking me out now too. I hope I can adapt to that kind of schedule with a newborn!!! eek!

 

[Jess19]

Funny how sometimes it seems certain guys have alotof a certain gender lol
I'm pretty sure my DH is going to be a girl making machine lol

I'm sure your going to do great Mrs.S!
That's what mommies do! Adapt!! its what we're made to do!

 

[honeysuede]

Hi everyone!!!!

Congrats Kayla!!! I too am calling boy!!
Jess you don't have long at all now

I am doing good, LOVING being a mummy

Also been to a few comedy shows lately & got some xmas things coming up with friends & family so it's all busy

Hope you are all having a nice weekend
xxxxxxx

 

[Jess19]

Lol I know it's not long but it feels like forever!!

We have a local comedy club here that I've been wanting to go to. I've heard it's really good, maybe after the baby I will check it out

Is it starting to drag now then? Yeah I haven't been to many comedy shows but I laughed soooo much I must go more often!
xx

 

[Jess19]

Yes it is!
I think it will be worse after Christmas and all the holidays have passed
Plus DH refuses to DTD because he's certain it will put me into labor! Ah! Its drving me crazy!

My OH as exactly the same... but the whole way through the pregnancey!! until recently! He was worried about hurting me or baby so it was hell for over 9 months! men hey
xx

 

[Jess19]

Lol I don't think I could deal with it for nine months!
I'm pulling out all my dirty tricks ill get my way soon. Idk if DH can hold out that long, I'm actually really susprised he's lasted this long!
I told him by Christmas I'm not taking no for an answer. Ill be almost 37 weeks or so and that's full term so he might be ok with that

 

[MrsStutler]

Oh goodness, I'd have busted out the duct tape and handcuffs to get my way! Thankfully DH never tried any of that foolishness with me! You tell that hubby of yours he better start putting out!

I get to go get my bloods drawn tomorrow morning and do a glucose tolerance test. Turns out my OB is now of the mindset that early glucose tests can help catch gestational diabetes early. I'm not thrilled about this. I HATE that drink. I have a few Christmas presents to still wrap too. Since we can't afford a whole lot this year I made each set of grandparents a little craft using Roxas's footprints to look like little reindeer. I'm hoping they like it as much as anything I could have bought.

I've been feeling pretty awful lately. Not full on morning sickness, but more like I'm hungover...all the time. Nothing sounds good to eat and then when I try to eat I just feel sick. I really hope this goes away soon. Oh and the pregnancy brain is about ten times worse this time. So far I've forgotten to lock our front door when leaving the house, I forgot to put water in the coffee maker this morning (but I put the coffee in and turned it on) and I've also gone to the store in my ratty old sweat pants that I normally only wear around the house. I swear it's getting time to put the post-it notes up.

 

[Jess19]

Lol I've got pregnancy brain bad! And I swear its rubbing off on DH

hope you get to feeling better soon kayla and good luck at your drs.
Yeah those tests are never any fun

 

[MrsStutler]

When I forgot to put the water in the coffee maker this morning it was hilarious. DH asked me if I made coffee and I said "yeah" thinking to myself well can't you see it right there in the pot? Then he tells me "well did you remember to put the coffee in, because this looks like plain water" I seriously couldn't even remember filling up the pot with water at all. I told him I think this baby is going to be really, really smart because I've gotten incredibly dumb these past few days!

Seems like everything the second time around is happening sooner and more intense. Apparently I've already started the snoring, which DH is not thrilled about. Plus my crazy weird, vivid, dreams are back. At least this time when I dream about delivering a chihuahua I won't be surprised!

 

[Jess19]

Lol your funny kayla!
Isn't pregnancy brain like the weirdest pregnancy symptom lol like we don't go through enough already


Here is a bump pic!
DH took it on Friday when we were putting our tree up

[mammag]

Jess, I know I've said this before, but you have the cutest bump ever!!!

 

[mammag]

Oh, and I wanted to post some more progress pics!!!! I love working out, it is my new fav thing to do

 

[Jess19]

thanks

Wow your looking great! How much have you lost?
Is it just exercise or have you changed anything in your diet?
