Hi everyone! I posted a couple times early on in my pregnancy, but then the exhaustion hit hard! I'm hoping to be able to post more now that I'm getting a little more second trimester energy. I'm 28 and have a DS. I'm due September 14. Looking forward to getting to know you ladies!
I dont know that I'm necessarily a lurker i comment on a few posts here and there but I don't think I ever introduced myself on the intro thread..
Im Molly due with baby #2 on September 4! We found out it's another girl..4 girl teenagers will no doubt be the death of me. My daughter Lexi is 16 months. Her attitude and sassy-ness lately makes me terrified to add another to the mix! We live in south Texas, you'll probably hear me bitch a lot this summer being huge in the hea tlol. I also have 2 stepdaughters who live in California that stay with us as 6 weeks during the summer so the three keep us busy!
@mbates87 my doc approved Excedrin Tension Headache because it's just acetaminophen and caffeine. Just like Tylenol and coffee kinda! Lol! It helps me a lot. Do you ever get auras with yours?
@wyomama0427 that's awesome that the doc approved that for you and makes sense since it's just a little caffeine on top of the Tylenol. I don't usually get auras with it. I think I've only had that happen once or twice so far this pregnancy. But when I am not pregnant I get major migraines. Nothing typically works for it and excedrin makes me nauseous. If it gets really bad I'll check in with the doc, but because I'm so used to them when I'm not pregnant I try to tough it out. I think I just feel whiny about it because that's one of the things I loved most about my first pregnancy - no migraines and no headaches! I felt great all the time. This time I just feel like crap...
Hi! I've posted a few times but mostly just enjoy reading what you all are up to. I'm a SAHM. I home school our 6 kiddos. I'm due on September 1st with a little girl my older daughter and I are celebrating because we are so out numbered by the boys. I lost a little boy last summer at the beginning of my second trimester. Losing him was really hard on all of us and I think everyone is still nervous about this pregnancy. But I can feel her moving and kicking now so that eases a lot of the tension.
Hi all, Have posted a couple of times in the group but would still like to introduce myself once again for the beautiful ladies out here. Who are always there for each other. Ftm here from the Evergreen State, Washington. 16 weeks and 3 days today. EDD is 23 Sept . Eagerly waiting to know the gender of my first baby I have been a silent momma from the beginning of the my last pregnancy that lasted just for 5 weeks.
@DPandMB I love them also. He has been the perfect dog, intelligent and loving. He is so sweet with my son and protective of him. My lab is the same way but they already get the family dog reputation. Most only think of catahoulas for hunting.
@SSG I can't wait to find out the gender too. I feel like most of the ladies here know the gender already and I'm just over here waiting for the 27th of this month! The date can't come soon enough! When are you finding out?
@SSG@LosAngelesMama Don't worry, there's a lot of us that haven't found out the gender either, myself included. Just check out the spreadsheet and you can see how many white blanks there are.
@ssg and @LosAngelesMama I dont find out the gender until April 28th. I'm due Sept 17th, i just didn't elect to do the DNA testing for gender with my NIPT stuff. Sometimes when I see everyone posting their gender I feel so far behind, then I remember, I'm in the middle and I didn't do the extra stuff.
@mrsmarygs It was the heartbeat they claim they can't check until 24 weeks (they must use stethoscopes here instead of dopplers...I'll update when I find out at 24 weeks, I guess!) I will hopefully find out the sex at the a/s which they scheduled me for at 18+1.

@mrsmarygs no worries I'm dying to know the sex...I'm glad I don't have to wait until 24 weeks for that!! (But trying to keep in my mind that LO might not cooperate and we'll have to wait until september...yikes!)

Thanks for reminding me ladies! Now I feel a lot better! I just feel like everyone is talking about their boy and girl. I think I'm just anxious to find out! I wanted to do an elective U/S but DH told me to be patient. All of our hospital bills have already been expensive enough.
@mrsmarygs I won't find out until 24 weeks. @cmar1006 I'll only find out 2 days ahead of you, so you're not alone in finding out after a lot of people. It feels so far away though huh?
I'll be 21 weeks when we have our a/s! I'm due the 8th but having the c-section August 31st. So it feels relatively late for me, being that I'm due in the beginning of the month
I talk about my boy because at our NT scan they tech old us they could usually detect a boy with 90% accuracy at that point, and the sonogram picture was very convincing. (DH is so proud.) But we won't really know 100% for sure until my a/s on the 25th. As I type this I'm realizing I probably should have been more hesitant to go ahead and embrace calling the baby he/him, and calling him by name at home all the time, because if that 10% chance happens and baby is a girl, it's going to take a long time to wrap my mind around that!

I've started thinking the exact same (or maybe the opposite, lol) thing. The tech was 90% sure at 16 weeks that baby is a girl. We got a good shot from underneath the little bottom looking up... saw the umbilical cord on her stomach, and there wasn't "anything" in between. I still know there's a chance we could see boy parts next week. We didn't care either way about gender, but she's been a girl to me for 3 weeks now!
I haven't had my AS scheduled yet either. I assume late April/early May but who knows? I had my first AS at 18 weeks with DS so the extra wait is new to me. (I'm 17+5 today)
Im with you guys at the back of the pack! My AS hasnt been scheduled yet- my due date was bumped to Oct 1st (I had already nested here so I stayed) Last pregnancy I was due April 20th and didnt have him until the 28th. being "the last" when you're so impatient was hard- some babies were born a full month and half before me in my BMB- those last few weeks were tough! BUT the light at the end of the tunnel is once the babies are here the majority of the group is 1 step ahead of you they go through the regressions and issues just enough ahead of you to have solid advice on how to get you through everything.
Also, guys, I just realized that we started a thread to bring lurkers out, and then the regulars hijacked our own thread, and now not only are lurkers no longer posting, we're actively talking about another subject. We are not good at this, haha!
Hi all! I have been hesitant to post as my screen name was my name but I figured out how to change that. I work full time and my husband and I have 2 little girls (5 & 2) pregnant with baby #3. I have been team green every time. My oldest was a c-section, my 2 year old was a VBAC. DD2 had a heart condition that required open heart surgery at 3 days old, she is now a happy healthy little girl. If anyone gets any surprises at the anatomy scan I can be a good resource. We are so excited to meet our newest addition although morning sickness wise this has been by far my hardest pregnancy.
@DPandMB 2015 were you there as well? Our joke name was "The Snarklings" Edit: autocorrect did me dirty
Yes. I was on tre A15 board but DD was born in March. I knew your name seems familiar. I want to say you had a Tina Fey picture then. Yes? I know I'm a stalker.
I left during he whole TB debacle when they fired our mods and put the Bump Gods in place. Then I went to one of the spin off boards and left there when there was a big rebel flag/racism debacle.

NO way! How fun that you're here now! You're thinking of sharkfarts who had the Tina Fey picture ( dont even ask how I remember that because I dont remember mine but I remember that one) I had my original account deleted when all that nasty stuff went down. I went to that spin off group for a bit as well- also jumped ship at the rebel flag issue but at that point I was close with the old regs and we were all on FB together. Like all good things there have been rifts and whatnot but I'm still in touch with a good number of them.

Does this happen to every group? It happened to my wedding month board after we transitioned to TN. We had a huge blow up and a bunch of us ended up in a private FB group. I want to say there were 25-28 of us originally, and 6 years later, there are still 19 of us that chat basically daily.
ETA: one of the remaining 19 is my very good friend I went to Vegas with a couple years ago, and the woman that took the baby cat pics above)
