Time for bumps and babies!

Share those updates ladies!

[queenofcats]

Hey there, TTGP/GKU!

I'm 21w6d. We had our MFM appointment last Wednesday and good news, the cyst is gone! She's doing great and was super active/not cooperative and switched positions 3 times, the little stinker. She is up to 14 oz and measuring right on track. We are excited to be back to normal appointments again and my next one is next Tuesday! It's just a normal monthly quick heartbeat/uterus size exam. I have one more monthly exam and then I move on to every two weeks (what???).
Symptom wise things seem to be fine. DH remarked on the purple color of my nipples last night, I informed him that the areolas were going to get bigger and he didn't believe me. My belly button is sore, I think I'm stretching out again. Sleep hasn't been much of a friend lately which is disappointing. I keep waking up on my back and just feel sore the whole day. I'm always hungry and always eating, usually foods that I shouldn't be eating like cookies and other sugary items. Whoops. Ah well, I'm going to pick up some more fruit and hope that I can get a little better at this eating thing.

As always I am rooting for all of you and lurking when possible. Love and hugs to all of you!

I have two images for you today. First is an ultrasound pic from Wednesday where she showed us her new trick, sticking her hand in her mouth. Looks like we are going to have a thumbsucker. The second is bump picture from yesterday.

[estakis]

Hai! I'll be 10 weeks tomorrow! We have an appointment this week to discuss some family history and I think they'll do a pap too. No more ultrasounds until 18-20 weeks when we will learn the baby's sex. I can't wait to see our little peanut again! Not too much else going on here. Nausea has died down which is nice, just tired all the time, I sleep 9-10 hours a night! Can't wait to see some bump and baby pics in this thread today. Always routing for you GKU!

[bradysalon]

Hey GKU! I miss you guys.

I am only 5.5 weeks or so. First u/s at the end of next week. I am still cautiously excited because so far I know nothing. I am choosing joy over worry though.

[meatandbandp]

Hi GKU!!

I had my early anatomy scan yesterday at 15w4d due to family history heart defect and spina bfida. Baby looked great, heart looked perfect and spine looked perfect as well. It is such a relief. I will have an another anatomy scan at 20w just to make sure everything is still looking good as the tech repeatedly told me that it was very early and that this scan would only show something major. (The tech was kind of a bitch!!!). She also said she is 85% sure it is a girl but it was just a little to early to tell 100%. I have an OB appt next week and hoping she will give me a quick ultrasound to confirm, otherwise I found a place that only charge $65 for a 3D scan and I am going to force H to get me one as part of my birthday present, birthday is in 2 weeks. But as of now in August I am going to have a daughter!!!! I have no words. I am so happy.

I can't figure out how to post a pic on this site. If someone gives me some guidance I will post my pic of my little, probably, girl!

[fallbaby11]

Hello ladies! I miss hanging out here!

I am 5 weeks tomorrow. Still praying that everything goes smoothly with no issues. First u/s is on 3/16. I am super anxious for that day to arrive.

[sully326]

Hey there! Well, I'm 24w4d today. We're slowly but surely getting things ready for baby girl. I have an appointment today for a follow-up ultrasound to see if we can get a better view of her spine. I've been SUPER uncomfortable lately so I'm curious to see how big she is now...

DS can't wait to meet his baby sister. I love how excited he gets when he randomly tells people about her. Melts my heart :-)

I took this pic last week for HDBD. I was 23w5d. Here's my view:

[notelsie]

Good Morning GKU!

I'll be 18 weeks tomorrow! I'm still feeling great despite being a little tired and cranky.

I've been feeling flutters since Friday, and I'm really looking forward to seeing B during our A/S on the 13th! We should finally get our NT scan results by then as well!

Since I'm actually starting to get a bump.. here is a pic from Friday



As always, I love seeing the updates, and I'm always rooting for you wonderful ladies

[ventotheessa]

Hai GKU!

I felt like It was time for an update. I am 12w 6d. The nausea is slowly creeping away and my energy level seems to be bouncing back. I did start having major heartburn when eating certain foods, I have all the sads that me and grapefruit cannot be friends right now.

I have an appointment next Tuesday and we will try and find the Heartbeat on the Doppler. I won't be having an early U/S so I am very anxious for that appointment to have some sort of confirmation that there is a baby in there. We won't make any announcements on social media until after that appointment.

Always lurking to see more BFP from you ladies! I am rooting for you all!

[southernpeach89]

Hello GKU!!

I'm 11 weeks today and I've had a cold for the past few days. It has been awful because I can't sleep very well and I'm still getting up 2-3 times a night to pee so I might as well just not go to sleep. Besides that though, my nausea has been ok the past two days which I'm very grateful for.

My next appointment for my NT scan is next Thursday so I'm getting close to seeing our little peach again soon!!

Always lurking and rooting for y'all!! Miss you guys!

[tigger]

Hai! E is 5.5 months and a goof!! Babbles up a storm, growls and blows raspberries. Loves to have us help her stand and is doing awesome sitting on her own playing. Now she need to figure out how to get to sitting on her own and maybe rolling back to front.
Here is my goof! Finally figured the picture thing out. Probably will come delete it later buh bye picture

[divinemsbee]

Hey guys!

I'm 16w tomorrow (really? This seems to be moving so fast!) and all is pretty well. I'm pricking my finger 4 times a day, which sucks but isn't as bad as I thought it would be. Although I still don't entirely have the hang of it. Anatomy scan is in just over 2 weeks. All of my serum tests from my NT scan came back negative/normal as well. So, we're just waiting.

I definitely still just look plump, not pregnant, so no bump pics yet.

[TrickyJedi]

Hi!!! I'm 10 weeks and 1 day today and just got home from the most amazing appt. so far. Dr. tried to find the heartbeat with the Doppler because we are still early was having a tough time finding our nugget so we got another unscheduled u/s. We got to see little arms and legs punching and kicking away with a 155 heartbeat. It was the most amazing thing I have ever seen in my life! Our u/s tech (who is amazing and the main reason we are staying with this practice) told us we have a "wild child" on our hands!
Symptom wise I'm feeling better, less nauseous and more awake. I'm loving how hard my belly is getting.
This weekend we went and shared the news with my grandparents. It's going to be the first great-grandchild in the family, they both teared up. My 82 year old grandfather took Mr. Jedi aside go tell him to kiss my belly every day and that would help him bond with the baby. My heart melted.
Still lurking and rooting for all of you lovely ladies!!!Here is the nugget caught mid-punch and kick! Apparently we are having a ninja.

[chad5285]

Helloooo!

Don't have much going on so I thought I'd include a list of things that give me heartburn and tell you guys that I'm always lurking (sometimes openly posting because I meese y'all) and crossing everything for BFPs.

Sweet tea
chocolate
pizza
cinnamon gum
hot dogs (WHY??)
Sweet Tarts
green olives
chocolate ice cream

Morning Ladies!!

It's been a few weeks since I've remembered to check the grad thread. I'm 27 weeks tomorrow. I finally got to meet my OB last week and found out I will not be able to have a vbac due to how I laboured last time, the placement of my scar and that it looks like I have partial placenta previa. So I have approximately 12 weeks to go as they will schedule me in for my repeat c-section at my next appointment. I'm a little disappointed but whatever will get baby and me to the end goal is what matters. Other than that, all is well. I'm not sleeping well but that's expected and all of my food aversions are gone. I'd have a pic today but I look like crap due to a cold and I'm not even dressed yet.

Still rooting for all you ladies and I keep checking back for BFPs. Miss you all!

[snakefisherbub]

Hai to my September ladies! Much love to you guys! ♡

Haiiiii, loves!

I called today to get the results of my Harmony test since it's been two weeks but I still haven't heard back. Waiting is really hard!

We have officially announced to our families and on social media. It felt really strange to finally be to this point...like, I might actually be having this baby.

Anyway, MH and I are huge Lego nerds so our announcement was quite fitting for us.

Fearsy, this announcement is amazing!!

@amc25, I remember when you announced; how are you already halfway to your baby's arrival?! Your bump looks great! Hope you'll share the name once you've decided on one

I accept your offering. 

Squish is good. 18w3d. I had a scan last week (but forgot to get the pictures on my phone, so sorry!) and everything is where it should be. Heart is beating and kidneys are doing kidney things. My nausea is gone, which is lovely. Mostly, I'm just playing the game of "is that gas or movement?" and figuring out when I tell all of facebook. My nana is freaking out (first great-grandchild) and my mom keeps texting me, wanting updates. Aside from being fat, not much is new. Miss you all like crazy.

Awww yay Squish!

Extra kittens for you

[MrsC0617]

HAI! This is my first time posting as a grad. I'm answering the calling of my sweet URMySunshine77.

I'm 6w1d. My first u/s is scheduled for this Thursday. I'm excited but scared. I've had practically no symptoms, which is nice but makes me worry. I'm just praying that everything is ok with Baby C.

My MIL is over the moon. She started buying things for the baby. Seriously. She brought over a few onesies and a blanket. Holy shit, I'm not prepared for the onslaught of cray with this woman. I get that she's excited but I feel even more pressure to make sure all is well.

I love and miss you all SO much. It hardly feels like I'm away because I stalk regularly. Rooting SO hard for you all!!

[kawaiikitsune]

Paging janda426. Do you have an outside squish yet?

[Puppylove]

Hey guys! Thought I'd check in. 38 weeks today. Can't believe it. I feel like the first half of this pregnancy took forrrrever and the second half has flown by! I'm still feeling pretty decent except for a lot of cramping and some awesome vagina spasms all afternoon today that had me cussing at my desk. And I'm a couple cm dilated already but apparently that doesn't mean much. So, we wait! I'm (surprisingly) still sleeping fairly decently other than my bathroom trips, so I'm trying to enjoy these last few nights of sleep. Little guy is still pretty active but has quieted down somewhat over the last few weeks - I guess he's running out of room! He has dropped lower which is nice because I can eat more than 5 bites at a time, but he still manages to get in a few good rib kicks every day. (And apparently some cervix headbutting?)

If I can figure this out, here's a bump pic - it's a little old, from 2/22, but is all I have on my computer at the moment. Hopefully I'll be able to check back in with an outside baby in a few weeks! Love to you all!

[beckynsean11]

Fearsy That is officially the best announcement ever!!! I might definitely steal that. H & I both love Legos.

[Unknown]

b, Sorry to hear you have been struggling with things, but sounds like you are taking care of yourself and are in good hands. I'm always thinking about you (i.e. internet stalking) and hope the rest of your pregnancy is uneventful. Yay for baby heart beats!
