She's BEAUTIFUL Glittergirl...she looks so peaceful in that pic!! Congrats :)
GG she is beautiful and I love her name. Congratulations!
Oh wow - what a stunningly beautiful baby she is! You are one lucky mama!
I saw you posted on my u/s thread, so you know as much as I do about how it went ;). They don't really tell you anything at ultrasounds here in Canada - the tech does the scan then sends the info to a specialist to examines it to look for any problems. They then send the results to my midwife within a couple of days. So I don't know what the heartbeat was, how big the baby measured, or anything. I *do* know that in my precious 2 minutes where the tech let me see the screen, I saw my baby doing something that looked like it was rubbing its eyes. Very cute!Quote:

Luckily it's still cold enough for a coat here, and it makes it hard to tell when I'm wearing something bulky like that. If we get an early spring like they're predicting, though, I may be in trouble....
She is absolutely darling!!!! Oh my goodness :) I'm so thrilled for you and your family:HH: Can't wait to see more pics! What do your sons think? :D
huge congrats GG.
a real little cutie, and look at all that hair!!!
She's gooorgeous GG!!!!!! I hope your home now or soon and can start to really enjoy your gorgeous new family xxxxxxxxxxxxx
GG, So super cute!! and all that hair!!! she is a beauty, bet ur over the moon!! Congrats again... xx
Congratulations GG, she's absolutely gorgeous! I love her hair and her little eyebrows, so cute :D I can't wait for my turn now!!!
Mocha - I've started taking my coat off occasionally now and people are surprised to discover I'm pregnant or don't even notice if I don't mention it and I'm massive!!
My twins were born in early May, so almost the entire pregnancy I was covered in big bulky coats. At the time we were living in a condo that was a quarter of a big, old house in Toronto (great apartment that I still miss), and none of my neighbours knew I was pregnant until there was finally a warm day in late April and I was in the backyard without a coat. I was of course HUGE by then because I was almost full term with twins and they were so shocked. :bigsmile:
I bought a new winter coat, which is quite good for hiding the HUGE bumpage!! Although didn't zip it up today as it's getting tight, wore a huge chunky scarf instead. and everyone said how 'neat' my bump is....are they blind?????? lol Needing to send people to get eye tests!! lol
I just saw this pic from glittergirl what a cute baby!!!! I love the hair it reminds me of my baby brother he got a lot's of dark hair like this!
Congrats!:celebrate:
Congrats GG....she is beautiful!! And I too love all that hair!!
I have bald babies....well really blond babies so it looks like there is no hair!!
Well I have hit the 31 week mark and now my count down begins....and my craziness too!:running:
I have been beaten up so often from the inside it hurts! I am tired, can't sleep...pretty much the whole nine yards! Sorry had to complain just a bit! So the next few weeks can just fly by that would be fine by me!
Tomorrow we go for our last 3-d u/s of this little boy....and I can't wait to see how much he has filled out and to see which one of his brothers he looks like. All my boys have looked so much a like it was crazy....the last 3-d we did this baby looked a lot like his brother Evan's 3-d pic's at the same gestation....so it will be neat to see if he looks like the other boys now....(that and I can't compare this round of pic's of this baby to Evan's as we lost him at 26 weeks or so gestation) get very excited wishing the day would go faster!!! :bigsmile:
And to the question about birth control.......we are both getting fixed!! Last baby for us no matter what.....this pg has been really rough on my body and I don't think I could handle going through another one. :tissue:
I know I don't post here, but congrats on your new baby girl GG! She's adorable.
GG, she is sooo beautiful! love that shock of dark hair! you'll have to post more pics!!!
Here is 1 picture from yesterdays 3-D scan!
And after looking at his pic and then my other boys.....he is a combo of
the 2. But I think he may not look anything like them too! But he is adorable
.....just to see that sweet face and his chubby little cheeks....I cried a little!
I am truly in love with this little one......gender not a problem anymore for me! :happy:
And sorry if the pic is a little big.....my computer is acting up and didn't feel like dealing with downsizing it....or trying anyway since this stupid thing like to freeze up on me in mid doing something! :hair:
What a gorgeous baby, princesssarah! :HH:
A beautiful baby boy Sarah!
He is darling Sarah!
cute little bub...:)
He's lovely princesssarah - and just 8 weeks or so until you meet him! Woohoo!
princesssarah, he's a cutie for sure!! xx
Ugh...the little stinker is breech...She's been head down the entire time and now she decides to stress me out??? Atleast my SPD feels better;) LOL
Sarah- he's super cute!! We have so many ladies due around the same time!!
Begonia just had her little girl.... And then it's ELP, Ingle...and then me?...then lobella, Psarah, Zan, Dannikans...
Tweedle-when is your EDD? Who am I missing?
Elp--You're due any day now! I think our due dates were about the same....mine was March 12 and Eva Lili decided to come a day early. Wishing you the best with your little guy!Quote:

The boys were thrilled to meet her. My oldest, who wanted another brother (he said he wanted us to have the world record of most boys in the family--go figure the mind of a 9 year old) is just in love with her. he didn't think he would want a sister. My middle child is just so gentle with her and always wants to hold her and checks on her. My youngest....well I feel sorry for him. He loves her somedays and somedays he feels left out. He pets her hair really hard sometimes ( I know that devilish look on his face when he does it) and has been acting up. today and yesterday have been better for him. He told me he loves her so much. I have DH watch all the kids while he and I go out for some one-on-one time and that has helped a lot. But he's been so used to being my baby that it's hard for him when I'm holding her or nursing her. He's used to napping with me when I was pregnant and always sitting in my lap. I think it will get better as more time goes by. we're trying to be extra gentle with him right now and letting him know how special he is.Quote:

Trust me, your ds3 will get over his jealousy :) My own second boy loved Ruby, but did not like the fact that he was not the baby anymore - but now they're the best little buddies, so sweet to watch play together.Quote:

Myloves, one of my babies will be a Ruby, the other Amber.
GG, My DS1 wanted another boy! think he's dreading 2 girls growing up!! (again 9yr old boy's mind??) and ds2 was desp for a baby sister, he's my baby and although so excited about having the twins, he'll take it hard having 2 babies to get past to spend time with me, although like u just need to taketime out with him. He's 5, so not too little, but a very 'young' 5yr old. !
I think my DS1 will take the new baby harder than the baby.
The baby is still only 10 mos old and he's going to still be kind of oblivious when the new baby comes. DS2 is very rebellious already and I think he'll just do his own thing, DS1 will be 5 in Oct (the baby comes in Sept) and he loves lying on me, he likes petting my hair. DS1 is such a momma's boy he was really not happy when DS2 was being held all the time. Now that DS2 is mobile and driving everyone batty, DS1 is happier. I know he's a good kid tho, and he'll be loving and gentle as he was with DS2, but I know he won't be happy at first to see another baby fill my arms so soon.
Hi girls! I haven't been on for a bit and I missed so much!
GG- Huge congrats on the birth of your baby girl! She is so beautiful and has such wonderful hair! You'll have to share more pics when you have time.
DG- I'm due May 22.
Seeing GGs baby makes me so excited to meet my own little baby! I can't believe how close we are all getting to having these babies! I am feeling better now but the heartburn has started! Baby is still transverse too - hoping she turns in the next few weeks. I have bought way too many clothes and occasionally am having fears that she has turned into a boy since our last ultrasound was at 21 wks.
Has everyone bought car seats yet? I need a new one and I have been debating whether it is worth it to get the ones that go up to 35lbs instead of 22. Any thoughts? I had one super chunky baby who outgrew the 22lb seat by 4 months and one skinny minny who was fine in the seat much longer.
Hope everyone is doing well and I can't wait to see the coming babies!
Dannikins - that's one GORGEOUS belly you have! I'm just starting to show now and am enjoying showing off my belly...at home at least. I'm not telling a lot of people about the pregnancy until I get the results from my triple screen - just very close friends and family so far.
When did you ladies start to feel your babies move? I can't remember at all when I felt my other babies for the first time, but I swear the past couple of days I've felt a couple of flutters down there. Is this even possible at 13 weeks?
Tweedle - nice to hear from you! IMHO, you should definitely go for the seat with the higher limit. Babies and toddlers are safest in a rear facing position and the longer you can keep them that way the better. In Canada it's the law to keep them rear-facing until they're at least 1. I kept all my kids rear facing until they were 2, and that's the official recommendation in a lot of countries now, including the U.S. and Canada. Lots of mamas choose to keep their kids rear-facing even longer than that.
Hi ladies!
Mocha - I felt flutters at 13 weeks too but then practically nothing until around 19/20 weeks! Glad to hear your baby's getting wriggly :D I completely agree about keeping babies rear facing for as long as possible and wish it was the law here too. So many babies outgrow their first stage seats and their parents switch them to forward facing far too early, it scares me to see it.
Dannikins - great bump! You have been so good at taking photos but I have hardly any! Must do something about that :D
Doula - Oh no!! What a little tinker, I hope she spins back for you soon! I'm happy to hear Begonia had her baby - was there an announcement somewhere? I've been trying to track her down and see how she is and whether she's had the baby yet!
There are lots of babies to come before mine - lots of excitement!! Good luck ELP, can't wait to hear your news very soon :D
AFM - I had another funny turn driving to work this morning. I'm pretty convinced now that I'm getting panic attacks as these episodes/skipping heart/jolting awake in the night etc started soon after my DVT scare. I only ever get the really scary episodes when I'm driving and I'm sure if it was something else I'd get them at other times too. I'm a very anxious person usually anyway and panic/anxiety probably runs in my family - my mum and sister have both suffered. I hate driving and if I thought about it too much I'd never leave the house so perhaps that's why it happens then. I always worry about something happening to me and leaving the children or something happening to one of them and those feelings are worse when I'm pregnant. It's official, I'm a nutcase!! 30 weeks tomorrow, thank goodness! Feels like the end is in sight when you get to 30-something weeks!
Zan, not to butt into this thread for the 2nd time today, (but I will!), I have anxiety and driving makes it a ton worst.
I literally have this odd fear of left lanes and will avoid them at all costs. My drive to work forces me to take them every day and some days i do great and some days I feel like im gonna to have a heart attack waiting for that green left arrow to tell me its my turn! The only thing that's really helping me is being preoccupied when im driving, if I keep my thoughts busy on other things, any other thing, besides that the fact that I am indeed behind the wheel of a car, it goes a lot better.
I hate having the issue, because getting around is a chore and I just hate driving in general, and i totally am so high strung with nerves about it that I don't drive long distances anymore. If we got to see my mom who lives an hour away, my hubby drives.
Anyway, just wanted to let you know you are NOT alone :) You're not a nutcase, and if you were, I guess that'd make me a nutcase too :)
Mocha- I 100% felt the baby in my last pregnancy at 12ish weeks! Doc said it was super early but it was total fluttering knew it was the babe. Don't normally post here just wanted u to know it's def possible ;)
