Will be 37 due in April 2016 anyone else?

[penelopejones]

I know, it is really dragging. I have an appointment tomorrow and not sure if they are doing a scan or not.

I was thinking of doing something silly. A bunch of my Facebook friends and I like to make fun of ridiculous fashions so I was thinking of posting a picture like this (https://shop.nordstrom.com/s/topsho...ferralID=61151893-5c1c-11e5-9549-005056947d48) and saying something about how this is what I'll be wearing for the next XX months.

Although the people who go stealth and then just suddenly post a picture of a baby are kind of awesome.

I've found a poem that I'll think I'll post for our announcement. Will wait till 12 weeks though. Having suffered with infertility for 10 years, and having several friends still fighting for their turn to become parents im trying to do it in a way that shares our joy and yet understands how hard it can be for some seeing an announcement...but also give them some hope. If that makes sense.

Gah I hate morning sickness. Can't wait for first tri to be over!!

 

[allforthegirl]

That sounds very nice Bekah. So considerate. I like that.

 

[penelopejones]

That's a really good point Bekah! I'd love to see the poem (promise I won't steal it).

Little Palace Beautiful
In the little palace beautiful there are four rooms.

The first is a room called "Fancy"
In this room looking out towards the south, sleeps a little child,
A beautiful baby.
It is the Child-That-Never-Was.
It was longed for, hoped for, dreamed of but never came....

In the next room looking out towards the sunset,
The room called "Memory"
The-Child-That-Was
Here sleeps the little fellow that came and stayed just long enough.
To gather up all our hearts and our hopes before he went away.

In the room towards the North, the room of "Experience".
Is the Child-That-Is.
This is the little one that plays in your home, wraps chubby arms around your neck.
And sleeps in the room down the hall.

And in the room looking out towards the sunrise, the room called "Hope".
Awaits the Child-That-Is-To-Be.

How did your appointment go? All well I hope!

I am a emotional train wreck!

Can't be easy being pregnant and having 5 to look after already.

Morning sickness, or in my case 'any time it chooses' sickness is making first tri pretty rough going. Been light headed too. Otherwise all good.

How are you doing?

 

[penelopejones]

Bekah, thanks for asking! The appointment went well, but there was a scary moment because she couldnt' find the heartbeat with the doppler. So she got out the ultrasound and we saw the little gummy bear and could see the heartbeat. I had already had a scan at 7 weeks because I was seeing the specialist, so I didn't think I'd need another one. It was reassuring to see that everything is okay.

Other than that, just hungry. The fatigue seems to be letting up a little bit though--or maybe it's because I've made my snoring husband sleep in the other room the last couple of nights!

 

[Bekah78]

That must've been scary, glad it all went ok though.

A good nights sleep makes all the difference doesn't it. We had no power here the last two evenings. First night I was in bed for 8.40 as could do anything without light. Was straight out and felt so much better for it.

 

[allforthegirl]

I think I felt baby for the very first time today.

 

[Bekah78]

Aww. That must make everything feel more real. I can't wait to have that experience for the first time.

 

[Chrissy05]

I can't wait to feel the baby for the first time. While I wait I keep telling myself that every time I throw up it's because baby is growing and the hormones are wrecking havoc with my body.

Thankfully the tiredness seems to be slowly getting back to normal, so that's a huge improvement!

I feel for anyone who has morning sickness as I have never... I can't stand to throw up, that alone makes me upset and I would freak out if I had mornin ng sickness. I just find myself to be tired ALL the time, its annoying and I think it might me hurting my relationship with my husband...

So glad to hear everything turned out good!! The doppler always scares me because you never know what position the baby is in and if you find the heartbeat!!

 

[penelopejones]

I haven't had morning sickness before either. That must be the worst. With my daughter I was queasy but never threw up; this time I have less nausea and am just tired and hungry. Oh, and cranky, which isn't easy for DH.

Yay for feeling the baby move, Allfor! I can't wait for that.

So my 12 week sono is next week on the 30th and I feel like time is slowing down. This is agai nwhy I hate the first trimester due to the wait and no real reassurance. Its not like I have my cute bump and feel little kicks.... Not that I am trying to rush things at all but I have anxiety and its ruins my sleep. I only have sore boobs and fatigue. I feel my boobs like 500 times a day to make sure they still hurt. I hate it so then I get bad feelings that when I go I will get bad news. UGH.
