July 2015 Moms

Moving over from August

Good morning, everyone.  :)

I'm jumping over here from the August board. I was also a moderator for the April 2014 board, but that board has gotten really slow and not much is happening over there now - they all stick to Facebook.

My husband and I are coming up on our 3rd wedding anniversary on St. Patrick's Day. I'm a SAHM, and I crochet hats for babies and children (also for adults, when requested). I have an almost 8-year-old son from a previous relationship. After 2 emotionally painful losses, my husband and I have a gorgeous, hilarious 9-month-old son, and he is the light of my life. This new baby was a TOTAL shock for us - and we are delighted!! I'm still breastfeeding our 9mo, so my cycles were really wonky, and we were actively preventing pregnancy. In December I went to the doctor because my energy was low and I thought I had a vitamin deficiency, or something. She did a full exam and said my belly felt a bit swollen so she sent me for an immediate ultrasound - that's where we found the perfect little 7-week wiggler. SURPRISE!! The ultrasound machine estimated the due date as August 7th. Yesterday, I was treated at the ER for kidney stones (I don't wish that pain upon anyone), and during my ultrasound, the technician checked on the baby. Expecting to see an 11-week baby, he measured the baby at 12w3d, a full week and a half ahead. So our due date has officially been moved to July 30th. Since I just had a C-section in April, I have to schedule another C-section for this babe to be at 38 or 39 weeks, so he/she will be born in mid to late July.

I'm looking forward to meeting all of you.

  • Welcome, what a lovely story. Congratulations too.
  • Congrats and welcome! I'm sorry about your kidney stones... hope you're doing better now. This place has been a bit slow since last week's shake-up (most regs left for another site) but hopefully it picks up soon.

  • Welcome! I didn't think we ever had super crazies here although it does seem that some have changed their tone since a few of the regulars left. Meaning some ladies that I never saw make snark ( I hate that word by the way) comments are trying to step up to the plate I guess to carry on the legacy. But it's still not bad around here at all to me...hope you enjoy!
  • Hi and welcome! I recognize your name, I think we were very briefly on ttcal or maybe pgal together.

  • Welcome to the July crowd. I hope this journey together will be amazing. :-)

    Unfortunately it had the opposite effect. Most of the regulars left in solidarity and in protest of the random IP bannings without warning of longtime users of The Bump.  In their absence we've had a lot of the repetitive fly-by symptoms/old wive's tale/gender prediction posts that their "snark" was so good at keeping at bay. Before the board was generally full of interesting and informative/entertaining posts.  Now not so much.  I've followed the regulars to their new home, but am also hanging out here and hoping it is eventually restored to something like its past greatness.

  • Welcome and congrats!
  • What a wonderful surprise after such painful losses! Congratulations! July 19th here!
  • Welcome! I am an early July person (due the first) but have been pretty sick and on lurker status. I picked an awkward time to come out from hiding :/ I think the stragglers here are still a worthwhile bunch and we've gotten used to suffering the idjits...even when they make it hard to ignore them. Annnyway, great story...hope you find a welcome home in our club.
  • Welcome I'm due July 17th
  • @LostinUtopia - Sorry you've been so sick. Do you have HG? I was on Zofran most of last year when I pregnant with G-Unit. I hope you're feeling better soon!!

  • Welcome!!!
  • Congratulations on your sweet surprise! And very sorry for your previous losses :(
  • @Clearskies77 - I understand that completely!! I didn't join any of the FB stuff until just a couple of months ago, after the June '13 ladies were still checking on me after 2 years.  :D
