Dream, it sounds like those are all great signs that your body is getting ready!! I won't be surprised if your little one makes an early appearance!!
I am doing well, but eating constantly!! I seriously feel hungry all the time!! I am hoping we can get an early ultrasound around 7 weeks to hear the heartbeat. It would be right before Thanksgiving and then I would feel comfortable announcing to our family when we get together for Thanksgiving dinner. This is such a dream come true...I am finally starting to believe it!!
Charlee, how are you doing?? Thinking of you and hoping that little guy is holding tight in there. Xxxxx
Congrats!!!! The theory is left = girl, if the image isn't flipped. So basically if the tech or ob tells you left, then its a girl! According to the theory anyway. Was correct for me. Atomic said although that theory isn't as reliable as nub theory that if you ov from the left it's a good sign, because they can implant anywhere.
I ate like a maniac for much of the first 12 weeks, until the hunger settled. Ironically after lusting over boy foods, I found I wasn't able to stomach meat or a few other ones for quite a while. But some I just couldn't stop eating. Go with your cravings hon, give that bub it's best shot and nourish your body after so long on le. FYI I have gained like 11kg already, at 26 weeks, but have found that since 20 weeks it has slowed right down. I think my body was making up for LE for sure, because with ds2 I only gained 14kg by 38 weeks, so I was starting to panic watching it pile on. I am still so happy for you hon!!! How many weeks are you now? Have you had your bloodwork back to see a nice HCG doubling effect and help you to believe it more?
Bunny - Yes, the theory is left = girl. :) But I have to caution you...my DS3 was left, so it isn't foolproof. But I bet you've got a little girl in there!
Pumpkin & TTCPink - Hope you're both feeling great! I was ravenous and completely exhausted the first tri, too. Rest up while you can!
Emily - Hope you're all ok there in Vietnam. Will send some prayers your way.
Everyone else - hi! (I answered some of you on the other thread. :))
AFM - Not much going on here...other than DH & I just got back from a fabulous weekend away to a super fancy hotel to celebrate our 10th anniversary that was back in July. It was amazing! His parents watched the boys for us...had been since DS1 was a baby that we'd gotten away overnight without the kids. Had some good talks about baby #5. He is now having to convince me! Well, not really, I know we'll do it, I'm just scared. He has been such a rock star and just so amazing and supportive through all of this. He is excited about a big family! Says he would be happy with even more than 5! OMG. Really, though, we are just trusting God's plan, no matter what that looks like for us. Anyway, that's about it from here. :)
Just had my Glucose Challenge Test this morning (the one with the horrible drink, and then you have a blood test 1hr later). It always makes me want to throw up! Yuck. Anyway, I have seriously NOT been able to concentrate after the test. I am supposed to be working right now and CAN NOT FOCUS. Did anyone else have trouble with concentration afterwards? It has made me super tired. I don't remember feeling this way with ds1 or 2 but I could just have forgotten. I know I felt sick with it for them, and that I got shaky (which this time I didn't).
Meeks, good luck with your test. I never had it with DS1, but when I had it this time, I was physically sick just before having my blood taken and then more for the following two days. I am not sure if the violent vomiting and diarrhea were related to the test, but I certainly felt very, very rough afterwards.
