U.S. Mommies To Be

[Annunakian]

Well hopefully we can have a white christmas next year.. DH just told me he wants to family vacay in the smokey mtns in TN next december... he wanted to go in January (!) but I was like "i dont think so, I'm too pregnant!" so I'm excited cause i love toplan trips and I have an entire year to plan this one

The smokey mountains are so beautiful. I lived in Knoxville for awhile and took frequent trips there and around Gatlinburg. My Dad still lives in Knox and said they actually got quiet a bit of snow there (for Tn, that is) this year.

I'm hoping it snows at least a little when we go up there because the kids have never seen snow before, and i think it will kinda make it worth it to go up ther in the winter..

Well if next winter is anything like this one it just might! I hope it gets some kind of snow so the kiddies can enjoy it.

anyone doing anything 'exciting' for new years?

 

[southerngal2]

Not doing anything too exciting. We will be going over to DH's sister's house for lunch and to play a few card games.
The weather is supposed to be pretty nasty so I doubt we will be outside popping fireworks.

 

[RosieCheeks]

Nothing too exciting planned for NYE. Just basically having DH's family over and then NYD we are over my parents house with all my sibling and family.

 

[MissFox]

I don't think I have anything special planned. DH wants to go to the bar with his best friend- so I might tag along and have a Shirley temple and play DD. Also might stay home with the dogs so the puppy is used to the fireworks.

 

[Annunakian]

Wish I was. No friends and no money = we stay home and finish watching Stargate Atlantis on Netflix and probably play some Scrabble. We're boring. lol

 

[MrsWez]

We are going to Charlotte, NC so I can watch people get stupid and drunk and I can play chauffeur for my husband and our friends. And No champagne for me this year. I think I will be bored and irritated.

 

[JNA]

I'll be in Charlotte too! Going to the club with some friends then hopefully I can stay up long enough to get our usual 3am Ihop

I am waitting at the ultrasound facility for my bladder to fill... She said I was empty- I thought my uterus was when she said it! Now just waitting for the fluids I chugged to get to my bladder! I'm not even 7 weeks- what can u see with an external scan anyhow??

 

[lisaf]

Darling- I only had internal scans that early... they give a better view, but not all machines have the option for internal.

For new years we'll be heading to our friend's house with their 4 month old baby... so early night, no drinking for any of us... some baby cuddling and card playing, lol.. totally boring!

 

[DarlingMe]

They can do an internal. I think she doesn't want to. I told her I thought they gave a better view and she said I don't do internal scans unless u r 5 weeks.

We both work new years eve and will get home a little after 11pm so ur nights sound better than mine!

 

[lisaf]

hmm thats so weird about the internal reluctance? I know plenty of women who didn't see a HB on an external scan when done early but saw everything great on an internal...
I've had so many internal scans I've lost count to be honest! At least 10 in the past year I think?

 

[DarlingMe]

Wow! Thats alot! We were able to see the HB @144, sac looked good, uterus is a little larger than expected, my due date was off by 2 days so I have to change my ticker, and I have a heart shaped uterus. From what I was reading it can cause preterm labor so I will have to research that whole thing a little more! So glad we go to see a HB though!

 

[lisaf]

I have a heart-shaped uterus too.. but mine is the most minor kind... some things say there is no issue, some say it can cause preterm labor.

I had fertility issues, so I had a few diagnostic/cycle monitoring internal ultrasounds... then when I was pregnant, because I was seeing a specialist, I got a LOT of early scans just to keep an eye on things (I was on progesterone supplements which can prevent a miscarriage from happening even if the pregnancy isnt' viable so they do more scans so you don't go on for weeks thinking everything is fine).

 

[southerngal2]

Ugh! I had to come back to work today.
I've been off since Dec 23.
I really didn't want to be here today.

 

[LadyofRohan]

Ugh! I had to come back to work today.
I've been off since Dec 23.
I really didn't want to be here today.

Same here, though I got off the 22nd. I had the hardest time getting out of bed this morning.

 

[southerngal2]

Me too!
And it's cold today so all I want to do is go back home and snuggle up in bed with a good book.

 

[LadyofRohan]

Yeah, that sounds lovely. It's worse because DH has the day off so he's at home watching TV/cuddling the dogs/browsing the internet while I sit here in my cube and try not to fall asleep!

 

[lisaf]

omg me too! I did have to work 2.5 days last week.. but just knowing this is a full 5 day week is killing me.
and my DH is at home being lazy

 

[luckyme225]

I got back from vacation on the 1st and went back to work that night, totally sucked!
