  • Good morning TTGP! As always, my love and good luck to my friends here, I am rooting for you and lurking all the time Smile

    I have hit 35/35 today and can't believe how close we are getting! Not much longer and we will get to meet Alex. The nursery is almost finished and once I put up the last things I'll post some pics in the Grad check-in. I have only 2 more weeks left at work and can't wait for them to be over. Sitting at a desk for 8 hours every day is taking its toll on my back and hips. Alex is moving all the time and my belly is getting bigger - next appointment is in a week from now and after that we are down to weekly appointments! Eeeek!

  • Good morning ladies! Congratulations to all the recent BFP's on this board! I've noticed a lot of them this week! And good luck to all of you!

    I have no pic today, I look like I've been run over by a freight train, so I'll spare you all. lol

    But... I do have some updates. I had my test for gestational diabetes last week, and got the results yesterday. I'm happy to say that I passed! :) Baby is measuring 2-3 weeks ahead, and my doctor thinks that she will be on the larger side.

    The only news that we'll have to keep an eye on is that my OB said I have a "low lying placenta". At the moment, the placenta is partially covering the opening where baby eventually would come out. He said that 95% of the time, the problem will correct itself.. so I have another ultrasound at 28 weeks to check if it has moved out of the way. If it hasn't, then I will need a c-section. He didn't seem concerned at all, so I'm not.

    All in all, I had a great appointment. :)

    Have an awesome week ladies!

  • Good morning girls! I'm almost 11 weeks now and I'm still doing great. We actually had our #2 ultrasound yesterday and it was AMAZING!!! We are right on track and actually measuring a day ahead so that is good. We got to get a good look at our little junebug and see his/her little arms, legs, feet, face....so unbelievable. I think my heart grew 2 sizes yesterday. As the tech was scanning around the baby started to move and kick at the wand (had a transvag) to get away....hehehhe. It was just awesome to see that little peanut moving around in there so much. Gonna be a mover and a shaker just like their Mama!  I'm starting to get a little bit of roundness in my lower ab area, but nothing noticeable to anyone other then myself and DH. We are going to announce on Thanksgiving by revealing what we have done in the nursery so far with the mural. I'm so so thankful that this pregnancy is humming along like nature intended. Makes me so happy I could cry!

    Congrats to all the newest BFP! Enjoy the ride ladies...I know I am. Smile

    You look so cute, I can't believe how close you are either! :) The pics are awesome, I wouldn't say your belly looks bigger so much as it does higher and rounder, it's a cute bump!

  • Ric, you look great!

    I am doing well. Saw the OB today, not much progress. Cervix is "soft" but not dilated. Ugh. I am hoping he will be here soon, I go back on Thursday.

  • Good morning! 

    Today is the big day for us! We have our anatomy scan at 3pm. I have a feeling LO is a boy, but I can't wait to know for sure. Everything is going well and I'm feeling pretty good. I'm still just as tired as ever, but, fortunately, I'm not getting sick anymore. Looking forward to seeing everyone else's updates!

    Happy Thanksgiving!

  • 23 weeks today :) Not feeling much different than I did last week.

    Hoping to finish painting the nursery this weekend. It will be nice to have a place to put baby things other than the dining room table, where they live now.

    Loving that I have an excuse for a gut on Thanksgiving this year!! Thank you maternity jeans. I may save them for future holidays :)

  • Hi all.  First of all, congrats to all the BFPs.  YAY.

    I had a check up yesterday, and baby is doing great.  Heart rate was 150 and my tummy is measuring at 27.5 cm and I was 28 weeks on Saturday so no worries.

    Saturday, we finally decided on a name, Blake Paul will make his appearance in a few short months!

    We bought and assembled the crib on Sunday so he now has a place to sleep, now I just want to get to the rest of the nursery!.

    So happy for all of you!

  • Good Morning! I'm 30 weeks as of yesterday, 69 days to go! Little man is doing great, still measuring 2 weeks ahead. I failed my 1 hour glucose test, but then passed my 3 hour test! So relieved to get to eat normal Thanksgiving food! I'm pretty sore and worn out, hoping these last 10 weeks go fast! Here's my huge bump!

  • Hi ladies!! Just want to say thank you again for all the prayers and well wishes last week. My u/s went well. No markers for down syndrome except there was some fluid in her brain. The doctor said that this is also seen in babies without down syndrome as well. But, because of this my hubby and I decided to do an amnio. We want to know for sure if she has it or not so we can relax or prepare for her arrival. It has been a week today and I am trying to patiently wait for those results. It has not been easy!! The doctor also said that even if she does not have down syndrome that she will be closely monitored by the specialist to make sure the fluid is gone. She said this is just a precaution and that the fluid almost always goes away with no problems to the child. Also, she said that babies with skewed AFP results sometimes struggle to make it full term, so starting at 34 weeks her heartbeat will be monitored twice a week. A lot to take in, but I am taking it one day a time. I would appreciate any continued prayers!

    I hope everyone is doing fabulous!!!!!

  • Good Morning Ladies!

    Things are going great for me & our little one. I will be 9 weeks on Thursday (holy crap!) and the all day sickness seems to be fading. Now I'm just queasy if I see or smell something off. We had our first ultrasound last week and we saw our baby!! He or She was moving all around with its itty bitty arms. H said he was sure it waved at him lol We saw the heartbeat flickering away on the screen and both H & I broke down and cried. It truly was amazing and so surreal. We couldn't let ourselves believe this was really happening until we saw that baby on the screen.  There's a picture in my signature of our baby that resembles a blob lol

    We're getting ready to tell my bosses next week (eek!). That won't go over well, but oh well. They'll figure it out. Once my bosses know, we'll announce at Christmas to the rest of our family & friends.

    I got a message last night from the local midwife association that they had reviewed my application and wanted to talk to me about care. I'm REALLY hoping they're calling to tell me they have a spot open and can take me. I've decided I'd like to do a home birth, if I can get a midwife, so fingers crossed they're accepting my application! 

    EDIT: Just got the return call and I was accepted! I see my Midwife on Dec 13th! So excited!!! The Midwife I'm assigned is also delivering my nephew in April. Very cool.

    Praying for your BFP's soon ladies!!

  • Hi girls! 13 weeks & some change today! Had a appointment with the MW last Thursday & I got to hear the heartbeat again. I also convinced them to let us do our anatomy scan before Xmas (even though I'll only be 18 weeks)! It will be the first U/S we'll have & I can't wait to see what's going on in there! 

    Still sick. MW messed up my zofran mg & I threw up all weekend:( NOT a Happy camper. I'm trying to get it all under control so I can enjoy Thanksgiving!!!!

  • Hi ladies! My little boy arrived on November 12.  I went to a wedding on 11/11/11 with work friends and got home around 11pm and went to bed. At 130am I felt strange and got up to use the rest room and my water broke. I went to the hospital about 30 mins later. Since my contractions were inconsistent I was started on pitocin. After 11 hours of labor and three hours of pushing he was here. He is gorgeous. 

    We are so in love with him 

    Sorry no pics. DH and I donot want to put pics on public sites like these. But pm me if you would like to see some.

  • Love looking at all the updates! 

    I had a surprise ultrasound last week and we were told it's a boy!  I was very confident in their findings at first, then started reading some stories of wrong guesses, so we are holding off on purchases until our a/s on the 12/21.  I was only 14w 6D (per growth of baby) when they guessed and yesterday I saw a picture of a baby at 16w 6d that was a girl that looked similar to mine. Either way, I am so happy to be this far!

    As for me, I am currently 11 weeks and 3 days pregnant. I'm almost to the second trimester! Can you believe that? It feels like time has passed so quickly. I got my first ultrasound and everything looked amazing. I have a picture of my LO in my siggy! Also, I finally have a bump. It makes everything feel so real! I bought my first pair of maternity pants on Sunday and I am rocking that stretchy waistband right now!

  • Hi ladies! My Team Green baby is here!

    After a whopping 1 hour and 45 minutes of active labour (and only 25 minutes after arriving at the hospital), my sweet boy Jacob was born at 12:15 on Sunday, November 20th (at 38w0d)! He's just a little guy at 6 lbs 1 oz and 17 inches long. We are completely in love with him and are adjusting to life with 2 kids at home. I've got a good case of the hemmies so I'm not feeling all that great and it's hard to walk and move around, but DH is being fantastic and holding down the fort.

    Here are a couple of pics!

  • Hi ladies! As always, hoping to see lots of new BFPs soon!

    Congrats Tosh! He is adorable and I loved your birth story!

    As for me: Doing well! 35/35 today which is very exciting. Just hoping the next few weeks fly by but also enjoying this last stage in pregnancy too. Im still pretty comfortable all things considered so no complaining here. Doc thinks Allie will be coming a little sooner rather than later (but we shall see). Ive been a cm dilated since 23 weeks with a completely soft cervix and a large amount of BH so Im interested to see where Im at when we do our first internal next week. Ive also lost parts of my mucous plug and started having false labor (aka painful but not consistent) contractions this week. Could be next week or it could be 6 weeks before we meet our LO. Either way I cant wait to see what she looks like!

    Other than that the nursery is ALMOST finished and should hopefully be done by the end of next week. Ill post some pics when I get done with it.

    Hope all is well with you ladies!

    Here is my bump pic from a couple of weeks ago (33 weeks) (been too lazy to take a decent one since then):

  • I haven't posted in one of these FOREVER, but I'm here before it blows up to 4 or 5 pages, so I thought I'd give a little update.

     Cal is 9 months and 1 week old.  He is just the sweetest little boy.  He's pretty mobile by rolling & scooting, but I think he'll be crawling any day now.  He has started pulling himself up to standing in his crib and we have some of the teeth marks on his crib to prove it (just bought a rail guard!).  He has 6 teeth, 4 (top front) of which all came in at the same time over the last week.   His 9 month well baby visit isn't until Monday, but last time he was a weighed a few weeks ago he was over 22lbs. :)

    Oh, and in case you didn't see my re-intro a few weeks ago, we're TTC#2.  Cal is such an amazingly easy baby, we thought we'd test our luck sooner rather than later.
