Gotta post & run -- but baby Mango is alive & well! My dates were changed; I'm never trusting my temp chart again. I'm magically 9 wks 1 day, HR 172! The midwife was freaking amazing, too.

Look at that beautiful Mango baby!!!

I hear ya! Plus I have sections on mine that just burn like fire. FIRE.
I'd be concerned if they really feel like they are on fire That sounds like mastitis, but obvs you aren't BFing (actually, I don't know that for sure)...so I have no idea why that would happen. Tender and sore = normal. On fire? Not so sure. Could be, but I've never heard anyone describe it that way unless dealing with BFing issues.
@FrecklesInside I know, it's so weird! From what I've read & heard, I feel like it isn't something that should be happening…but it isn't constant, so I'm not super worried. I mentioned it to my midwife at my first appt last week, and she didn't seem too concerned. It's just aggravating. And weird. And kind of shocking. (FTM, can ya tell? haha)

Haahaha, I totally had the same question! I was like "uh... they get to mango size three weeks from now? Fml."
I was reading through the TTGP Grad Thread (might post in it next week if my u/s goes well) and noticed a few cute bump pics from ladies that were around 19 ish or so weeks. They barely had a bump. My bloat is bigger than their bump. WTF? It made me feel like I'm eating too much or something. Damn bloat!
Oh, and speaking of TTGP, what happened to to the TTGP Confessional? Is it defunct?

Also, I'm so craving fruit snacks right now.. and I'm talking the shapes that are soft and stick to your teeth and taste oh so yummy kind. Can I be 5 again for a few minutes?
Totally bought 3 boxes of gushers at the store last week. They have been delicious!
I have a box of Welch's fruit snacks in my pantry. I like to snack on them between meals.

There is no such thing as snacking on fruit snacks. They are one of my meals.

@MrsLaurenandDan I am so happy for you with your great test results today! I'm always looking for your posts, you're like my soul sista. You understand what I'm feeling and going through because you are doing it too.
I am seriously elated for you. I'm sending you all of my super excited, squeeeee hugs.

you. We still have to see if the anatomy scan looks ok. That will be the real test. But this is one more hurdle crossed. And I feel the same way about you.
How are you doing? Do your girls know about the baby yet?
Guys all I want to eat is spaghettios and beefaroni. It's 10:30 I really shouldn't be eating anymore, especially since I just had a can like 2 hours ago. Do I just listen to my belly or is it lying to me?!
They do! I ended up unexpectedly having to bring them to my ultrasound and, though I had them wait in the waiting room, I showed them the photo when I was done. They are very excited and I am terrified of having to deliver bad news again in the future.

Listen to your belly. Or you'll be up at 2 am listening to it then.
@pennypretty my thoughts exactly. I mean I understand that you can't discuss results over the phone, but when you make me rush out of bed to come in... It kind of makes it seem like something terrible is happening. Thankfully my SO is super supportive and took his lunch break early. I don't think I would've been a very nice person if he wasn't there. Don't they realise they deal with crazy hormonal pregnant women?
Ugh. Long ass day. Tried to get caught up since my last post, but my brain is too tired to read anymore. So, I'll just say hooray for all those who had great appointments today! And to whoever was asking about toddler treats at TJs, the freeze dried fruits are awesome. DS loves the strawberries, blueberries, and cranberries something fierce. :-) Good night all! I'll try to chat tomorrow.
@SNLT1012 I was wondering how they were doing. Owen is obviously a lot younger, but he seems more scared than excited. Have they expressed fear of it happening again, or are they just excited?

Come to my house...I have the Disney princess and Disney Frozen fruit snacks and they are delicious and stick to your teeth and everything....YUM. And I don't have kids yet. They are all for me. My DH saw them and decided I needed "healthier" fruit snacks so he got me the organic Annie's brand in a huge box from BJ's. Haven't gotten into that box yet because I bought 4 of the Disney ones. Oh so good.
Sorry this is so late, I'm just now reading the posts from this thread yest!

When I told them I told them that I hadn't planned on telling them in case I lost another baby but they are old enough to understand. My 10 year old was devastated when we lost Jonah. It happened while she was at a long weekends at her dad's and we had to tell her when she came home. She sobbed for days on end, to the point where I considered sending a note to her teacher.
They understand why I didn't tell them right away but they are both excited at the possibility again!
