Hey I remembered it was Tuesday!!!
Noah is 4 months and 9 days. He's still puts everything in his mouth, including as of last night his foot. He is the happiest little man. We took him to see Dinosaurs Alive in Montreal this weekend and he loved it.

We also celebrated our first Valentine's Day.

And the aforementioned foot eating.

Still lurking and rooting for you. Getting up the nerve to start posting again!

Hi GKU!

I have a 15 day old outside baby, and it's a girl! (We were team green and I totally thought it was a boy so she was a big surprise). 7lb 1oz born on Feb 1 (at 40 weeks 3 days). My labour was fast and intense and I totally took the drugs.

We are completely in love with her. Things have been going alright. I'm struggling with breastfeeding (it's super painful and we have a hard time latching on my flat nipples). She was jaundice so we had a longer than usual hospital stay, including one night of photo therapy. Now just trying to stay on top of feedings so she keeps gaining weight.

Hello GKU! Thanks for the tag, setsuna17.

I have an outside baby!! After some concerns during my monitoring and my amniotic fluid doubling overnight, doctors decided baby needed to be out, and I had a very, very sudden C section. It was very scary and unexpected, but necessary.

Minette Kathleen was born at 35weeks2days on 2/11. She weighed 5 pounds 9 ounces and was 18.25". She had to be admitted to the nicu due to her age and reason for birth, but she hasn't needed any fluids or oxygen at all. She did spend 2 days under the lights for jaundice, which was tough. I was released yesterday, and baby will be released today or tomorrow. She's eating like a champ and is the greatest thing ever. Here's the amazing person I made.

Hi GKU!

Ellie turned 3 months old today! Three months! I can't believe it. She's sleeping 9-10 hours straight through the night the last few nights and is generally awesome.

She's currently working on rolling over, grabbing, and giggling. Though she's master none of them. She's trying hard though!





Love you ladies! Moar BFPs please!

[queenofcats]

Hey all!

E is 7 months and doing fine. No real changes. She's been lifting her belly more during tummy time so crawling may be happening soon and she's been babbling more and more. She says, "mamamama", but I know it's just testing out sounds and she doesn't mean it as me yet. Still lots of fun to hear.

I'm always rooting for you all. We aren't going to TFAS for at least another year, but I am starting to get the itch to come back and play. Only if you'll have me, of course.

Here she was on Valentine's Day. She was not happy about having to take a picture.

[youdontsay]

Omg all of these babies are so adorable!!!!!!!!!!

Hey GKU I lurk all the time, I miss you guys! Always crossing everything for those BFPs!

So I'm 13+1 today. Still with morning sickness and being irritable at work, but other than that I feel okay.

Yesterday I met with my gyn and got to see the little one again. The baby is kind of a jerk because while my gyn is positioning the u/s wand to find a good spot, the baby is moving all around. Once she's like "oh look at it move!", it stops moving. Stubborn kid, just like its dad! Also, no more PIO shots!!!!!!!!

So, one more appointment with my gyn next month and then I go to an OB. It makes me sad because I like my gyn, I've had her since I was 16, but I feel confident in my choice of OB group.

On the way home, the genetic counselor called and told me the results of the MaterniT21 results came back as low risk for genetic abnormalities and also told me we are team pink!!!!!!!! I haven't told MH yet so I'm surprising him tonight!

You are absolutely more than welcome to come back and play queenofcats.

Congrats on the outside babies brettanomyces and DanaScullyX! They're both beautiful!


AFM...my doppler arrived Saturday and after some searching I was able to find baby's heart beat at home! I couldn't hold on to it long enough for the doppler to tell me the heart rate, but I was so excited to find it. I tried it again for a few minutes before bed last night and found the HB almost immediately. This time the doppler started giving me HB readings but it wasn't quite loud enough yet to get a steady number.

That's about it for an update. I've been fighting a cold so even pregnancy symptoms have taken a back seat to that. Looking forward to seeing baby again at my NT scan a week from Thursday!!

Hi GKU! I'm 28w4d.

After last weeks epic fall, I was on pins and needles. Over-analyzing all movement (or lack of movement). But so far everything seems well. I had an appointment today, Baby Boy seems to be doing well. I passed my GTT, my weight is 'phenomenal', my blood counts were awesome, measuring right on track. I told the OB to stop before I get cocky. Ha ha.

I'm happy to say I've been upgraded (downgraded?) to a lighter weight, more flexible sling. Woohoo! Yay progress. I asked the doctor if I could just skip the lighter weight sling and go right to being sling-less. I got the dirtiest "are you serious" look ever. So I took that as a no.

For your 'pleasure' last week's bump shot on the left, and a quick one I snapped while at my parent's today. Last week I had to wear MH's t-shirt and had the sling of doom. This week I can wear my shirts again and have the smaller sling. You can also see some of the bruises on my hands from my fall.

[teraiin]

Congrats on the outside baby DanaScullyX! So glad she is doing well. But man that must have been scary to have her arrive so quickly. I'm glad your doctors were proactive and kept an eye on things!

Love all the baby pics. So sweet.

[teraiin]

Also congrats brettanomyces! What a cutie.

[teachermomtobe]

OMG all of the babies! They are all adorable!

[singingsea]

Hi all. 11w 4d here. 12 weeks on Friday! My nausea is starting to calm down a lot. This was about the time with DS that I started feeling better. So FX I'm on the upswing. Had a great ultrasound last week and we got a really good picture of the baby's head and face.



Edit: Fixed pic. GA in pic is 11w+2

[pismoduo]

Hai! I remembered it was Tuesday. And I actually have something to share!

We had our first OB appointment yesterday. After some debate about how far along I am (she says 9w4d based on LMP, I say 8w5d based on O) we decided to go ahead and do a dating ultrasound (need to call the imaging center to schedule that).

And then she pulled out the doppler and we got to hear the heartbeat! Baby's heart was going strong at 160. H and I were both absolutely captivated by the sound. It's funny, H was the first to realize the OB had found the heartbeat (thank you Mr. Audiophile). My mom is upset that we didn't record it so she could hear it too, but she'll get over it.

[cocobellaf]

I love all the outside babies here today!!

18w 1d here. Had an impromptu ER visit last Tuesday. Diagnosed with marginal placenta previa. We have our anatomy u/s this Friday so hoping that we'll see it has moved away a little bit and I'll be allowed to resume light working out. Also found out that we are team PINK!

Still throwing up and sick every day. I think it's my curse!

Bump photo!

Do you guys still do intros around these here parts?

[adorebel]

Hi GKU!

37 and a half weeks here and chugging along. I'm trying to stay active and I still have lots to do at work before this baby arrives, but between the all-over hugeness and the feet-swelling and the nighttime carpal tunnel in my arms and hands, I'm so uncomfortable that I'm also pretty glad she's technically fully cooked now and I have just 17 days to go (or, you know, 2 days... or 26 days... or whatever she decides!)

We are gearing up for lots of squishes in M'16 - can't wait to see them all posted here, starting with DanaScullyX !

Hi frands

I am 18 weeks today! Based on O however after our a/s yesterday baby was measuring right on track based on LMP and weighing in at 8oz so I will finally fold and agree with the doctors on a July 14 due date.

SS1 and 2 were able to come with me to the scan to see their baby BROTHER for the first time. Apparently DH is a boy factory lol. I could tell my mom was disappointed when I told her but I think my dad is excited about a grandson.
We had them over for dinner and told them with a cake!

Also - I've been feeling LOTS of movement this week which is pretty cool. He especially likes doing backflips when I eat (i like eating too) lol. And unfortunately my bed rest got extended another week but! After last week's pack-on-the-pounds-athon I didn't gain any weight this week so yay for not getting huge. Lol

Here is the cake and a wiggler giving a high 5

Miss you all! Thank you for the Grammy live blog last night keep the BFPs coming!

[teraiin]

OMG Fearsy! That bow... and that cute smile behind the pacifier. I'm going to die from cuteness.

[renbee]

Hi everyone! Sorry I haven't checked in in a couple weeks - life has been so crazy. I can't believe it, but I am 30 weeks 2 days! This baby boy is going to be here before we know it, which is both exciting and terrifying!!

Last week we went and did a 3D ultrasound, and got some amazing pictures of our little man. Hopefully these aren't too huge:







It was the coolest thing ever! I can't believe the detail we could see - they even told us he has hair! It just got me that much more excited to see his little face in person

This Saturday is my first baby shower, so I'm really looking forward to that and starting to get all of the baby stuff so I feel more ready!

As always, rooting for you all and hoping to see even more BFPs soon!

I suppose so. It's been awhile since we've had any.

Such great news!  And a house closing coming up as well right?!?!  So excited for you on all fronts! 

Yep! We close in 27 days

[ameliabird]

Hey GKU!!
Had my NT scan today and baby was wiggling around so much and being stubborn so I was there for 45 mins with the tech pushing down trying to get the baby to turn its head. Nothing else new and the bump isn't any bigger I don't think! I'll leave you with a pic!


Always lurking and hoping for more BFPs for all of you!

Edit: picture showed my name!

Hey guys. I'm 20 weeks tomorrow. Woohoo for being half baked! We bought a van and car seats this weekend and been feeling way more movement.

Finally had to retire my scrub tops at work, but thankfully I'm allowed to wear any solid color top with my lab coat. I also bought a support belt that make my belly feel so much better, but changes my cute bump to raging muffin top.

A/S last week had the girls measuring at 12 oz each and looking great. Evie is head down which explains all the pressure, while Finn is sideways by Evie's feet which explains all the stretching and pain.

Evie wouldn't cooperate for good pics so I'll leave you with just Finn. Meeting with MFM on Friday so probably will get more pics then.

[Sammich_Cat]

It's been a while so I'll update.

I'm 27 weeks and into the third trimester! I feel like I'm a month ahead with everything in this pregnancy compared to my first.

I have finally been feeling more energetic and have been riding my bike with DS1 and going out and about with him. Wish I could ice skate too! The weight has started piling on at 2lbs/week just like last time; the extra exercise doesn't seem to be helping. I'm also swelling like a balloon and am hot all the time. *whine*

Thursday is my glucose test which no one looks forward to, of course. And then I start going in every two weeks. Hoping baby has flipped as he's quickly running out of room in my bicornuate uterus..but I don't think he has.

As far as being ready, we still have to figure out how to arrange our bedroom so the baby isn't sharing a wall with the bathroom (noise issue), and who will be watching DS1 if I am allowed to go into labor.

Lots of love to you all.
