JUNE/JULY/AUGUST 2014 DUE DATE CLUB- THREAD #2

Welcome GPKM! Good luck with travel & ultrasound Grease Monkey& JMM love your announcement & your super adorable boys!

Just came back form the dr. Finally got to hear babies heart beat, such an awesome sound. My 3yr old DS came & he loved it. Hoping to finally start feeling better as this week goes on. Ultrasound is scheduled for 3/10. Can't wait for than just to know for sure. I know the probability is high that this is a boy & I am pretty OK with that now. It has crossed my mind that we could try again but the fact that this has been such a difficult pregnancy so far with how horrible I have felt makes me not want to entertain that thought. The 5 kids I will have need my attention & time and at this point in life I can not take 2+ months to just feel like crap. I def need to remind myself to enjoy this pregnancy as it needs to be my last.

Anyway hope everyone is doing good!

Welcome GPKM!

Good Luck GreaseMonkey!

Gafan - I think that sounds about right. I've always heard when you are pregnant you need about 300 more calories. I never count calories, I'm terrible at it and following a diet in general. I just go by my hunger cues. If I am hungry I eat, if not I try not to. And just overall try to get a wide variety of food, though when I'm so tired it's harder for me to pick healthier meals. With my first two boys I was starving all the time so I probably ate about 4000 calories no joke, but this time I have days when I'm more hungry and days when it's somewhat normal. Hope it all balances out. Congrats on the exercise! I was trying to walk somewhat routinely for awhile to up my engergy but then I hit this tired, super lazy streak (also spotted just a bit, scared me) so I kind of fell off the wagon. Hope to start again.

I have my very first apt tomorrow, and then I should get my first ultrasound scheduled, probably within the next week or two. I'm ten weeks. I am so excited, I just want to hear a heartbeat and make sure that everything is ok!!

LO is doing a lot of flip-flopping in there! Like he's have a merry old time dancing away... He seems to love snuggling in the bend of my lap, pretty much on top of my pubic bone. So very NOT comfortable - can't sit upright properly!

Felt the first kicks by hand last night! Such a fantastic feeling. Only two, but definitely there. DH came to have a feel but that was his performance done for the day - too late, daddy! Oh well, soon...

Love jm m!!! You boys are sooo adorable!!!!!

Thanks guys - you all are so sweet and sure know how to make someone feel good!

Bunnywabbit - glad you started feeling kicks - isn't it the best feeling in the entire world? Definitely makes everything feel more real!

Greasemonkey, wishing you luck with your ultrasound! Keep us updated.

Bunny, it is fantastic to feel the first kicks. Looking forward to it. Aidan started at 15 weeks, just a flutter, I'm 14 now, so it shouldn't be far off.

I got my combined scan result, they didn't actually give me a number but said it's low risk, gotta be happy with that. Another 5 days and I should have the Harmony results. Can't wait!

Had my first appointment today! Everything looks good! Only ten weeks so she couldn't hear heart beat yet so she did a super quick ultrasound to see and hear it, and it sounded fabulous :) Got to see it moving and waving its arms! My actual ultrasound is Thursday so I'm sure it will be too early to tell any nub or skull guesses. Which is fine because I can't tell the difference anyway ;)

I hope this pic comes out its a 3D scan they did of lil bean at 12 weeks. Heart beat was 166 BPM and it waved the whole time and was very still and chilled. Not like my other 3 who were jumping jacks! lol
