ELP, you look great! I can't believe you have only gained 4 lbs!! I am so jealous!!
I should get a scan sometime between 6-8 weeks. I usually do, anyway with my history of miscarriage just so they can find the heartbeat and make sure everything's going well. I go this Thurs (5 weeks) to re-check my betas...I'm nervous about them doubling properly but trying not to worry too much!Quote:

Thankyou ladies:hugs: My last baby bump pic looks kinda scary doesn't it lol!!! I have the midwife today at about 2 pm, currently 9.30 am here atm uk, so I'll get her to measure up just to make sure that little one has grown some. plus I was awoken with a pain last night!! I say 'A' pain, only the one lol, I got rather excited for a while and then fell back to sleep, oh well I've still got 2 weeks anyway so I shouldn't start getting carried away yet:bigsmile:
I'm so sorry to hear that hope.ful:( I wish you a super fast and safe speedy bfp real soon okxxxxxxxxQuote:

ELP - Beautiful baby bump!
hope.ful - I'm so sorry xx
Hopeful: I am so sorry, praying you fall preggo very soon.
ELP: You look so great, and 4 lbs!!! Think I gained that just last month. I am sure everything will be fine next week with you measurements.
Yahmama: I so so glad that there is some more preggo ladies on here. Now that Jen had her baby things have been a little slow. Can't wait to hear about your scan in the next week or two.
MFC: How are you? Getting ready for baby yet?
This weekend I am going shopping with my mother to get a few things for the new baby and the other children for spring/summer. It will be so weird to shop in the baby boy section again. Oh, and I had my monthly appt this week and the doc wants to change my due date because I am measuring 1-2 wks ahead. But, I told my midwife that I KNOW when I conceived and MY dates are right. Stinkin hospital isn't going to try and induce me because they "think" I am overdue, when they just have my dates wrong. I guess I will just let it ride until I get closer to my due date and then bring it up again.
WP, the hospital really wants to change your due date? That is crazy! My Dr. has always been so set on the LMP date that he won't change anything, even though my u/s have routinely showed my babies farther along (my cycles are short and I typically am a few days ahead because of my early O date).
ELP, you are getting really close!! I dare you to jump on the trampoline--ha ha! That sounds so uncomfortable! I did jumping jacks trying to get DD2 out (I wanted her to be born of St. Patrick's Day, but she refused to budge until a week later!)
Has anyone heard from Begonia?
The doctor in my practice wants to change my due date, but the hospital has a stupid policy that will not allow me to go over 1 wk over due. Normally they just keep my LMP, but for some reason this guy has other ideas.....Quote:

ELP- be safe with the trampolining! Don't overdo it! But hope your LO decides to come sooner than later!!
I went this morning to have my hcg levels checked....didn't get a call back today as hoped, so it will be tomorrow morning. I'm on pins and needles, but really feel things are ok. No cramping or spotting and I've stayed super emotional and hungry! Will update tom. when the dr calls...levels should be around 300 if all is ok.
I'm on the mend yay!!!!
10 weeks and feeling great pregnancy wise sooo damn lucky I escaped morning sickness this time it is amazing. I have never experienced a pregnancy without it and oh what a difference it makes lol!
WP, if it comes down to being induced I would definitely stick to your guns and not let them change your date.
ELP, hopefully you don't have too much longer to wait!
Yahmama, fingers crossed for lovely levels :) Have you got a scan booked in yet?
5, glad to hear you are on the mend. Only two more weeks til your scan!
So, I have my scan in 5 days. Wish the days would hurry up! I have a hens day tomorrow and I so don't know how I am going to keep this pregnancy a secret. The not drinking thing will be a dead give away!
Bec: At least 2 of the 5days before your scan is the weekend.....the weekend always flies by.
We are bracing for the bad storms on the way. This just seems like such a bad tornado season and spring is not even here yet. We had a tornado hit last Wed 3 miles from the house.
Hopeful I am SO sorry! Elp you are so close!! Gosh I am jealous!! I am really sick right now with a bad cold. SUCKS! I am almost done with work. I am leaving earlier then expected but I need some time off to be With Ava, just us for a few more months.
I also wanted to day my cousin who lost her baby at 12 weeks (we were due the same day) got a BFP yeserday! I am so excited!!! There is always light at the end of the tunnel!
Anyway...I will be 26 weeks on Sunday! I am getting so big so fast! My little guy kicks me LIKE CRAZY!!!!
Ava will be 3 next friday! OMG, I am planning her cupcake party, it's going to be so cute! And last night she fell and split her eye open and a nice shiner! Will look great with a matching Tutu!
anyway hope everyone is well! XOXO
WP, hope the tornados stay away! That sounds scary...
TTC5, are you still on bed rest? I can't believe you haven't had any m/s this time--lucky!!
Tink, 26 weeks already?? Have a fun party for your daughter. Sorry about the shiner--but that should make for some cute pictures! All my kids have had at least one black eye. I think it is a rite of passage.
Bec, can't wait to hear if you are having twins!!
Morning ladies, all quiet here lol!!
WP, I just saw the news with the tornado's this morning!! I hope that you were far away from the damage:( x
ELP - Are you all set for little Dave's arrivel? :)
Wonder how Begonia is going have not heard fom her in a while, she is due this month isn;t she?
Yes, I am curious about begonia too! I wonder if she has had her baby yet!
WP, hopefully the storms weren't too bad?
Oh I wonder if Begonia has had her little girl?!
Cant get the second scan as the referal is for a different company and they do not bulk bill damn!
Dave, Dave!! That just sounds so plumber or mechanic doesn't it:rofl: Why did he have to pick Dave:rofl: Not that theres anything wrong with a plumber or a mechanic! I'd be super proud if he did that!, but Dave:shrug::bigsmile:Quote:

I have bought a camera:running: So I can post some pictures of Dave when he gets here lol! Only thing is it holds 10 pictures then its full?? I ordered a memory card at the same time, different shop, but that hasn't arrived yet so hopefully it will soon:agree:
I've shrunk some pics of most of my LO's to share:) Top pic the boys! middle pics DD's 2, 4 & 5! and bottom pic DD's 4&5:) Jen if you pop on you can see why my white haired DD reminded me of yours which you posted at the beginning of the thread xxx And in the bottom ppic, the DD on the left is the one I call my 'little DD' as she is nearly 2 years older (she's 5 in May) than her sister she is holding hands with but already alot smaller!
ELP: LOVE the pics and the little bit if a change. Anything is good.
TTC5: So how long until you get a scan now?
Bec: How many days until your appt? 2 or 3?
We are all fine, Thank God. One tornado tore up a school very close to my parents house on Friday night, but they only have a couple down trees. I thought with all the storms most people would not be out on Saturday and my mother and I would have a relaxing day without traffic.....NOT. There were so many people out and the lines were soooo long that I heard someone say it was worst than Christmas shopping...lol. But, I did get a couple new outfits for the baby and had a great time with my mother.
ELP! Your kids are precious! And I think Davey is cute for a little boy--will you call him Davey?
WP, glad you are okay after the storms!
TTC5, bummer about the second scan. :(
ELP, your kids are very cute! Little Dave will fit in nicely ;) Do you think you will call him Dave for short?
WP, good news that the storms didn't cause too much damage, must have been a big relief.
My scan is tomorrow morning (Wednesday). I am very nervous that there won't be a heartbeat or it won't be in the right spot. Just want it to hurry up!
Good luck tomorrow Bec!
Thanks :)Quote:

For now, I am assuming we will sway. I did sway using IG last time and was blessed instead with DD2, whom is incredibly perfect. I will be trying HE this time around. Sorry to ramble! I have a quick question, for those of you who had successful boy sways, what is the age gap between your DD and DS? I have a theory (one made up in my head) that a short age gap sways girl and a large gap sways boy…. but again, this isn’t scientific just something I have convinced myself of.
Now this is something I think about, but with a difference! And it comes down again to body condition. Pregnancy itself can either improve or unimprove body condition, for me it improves as I eat better and control weight gain, plus build muscle carrying the baby belly so my closer pregnancies have been boys! But other ladies pregnancy may unimprove body condition with maybe a bigger weight gain, poorer diet and more nutrients being taken by baby so meaning their bodies are left in girl territory!Quote:

I will definately be calling him Davey lol!! Unless anyone can come up with something else cute from David????? He wont have a middle name so even the chance of a DJ or DC is out, its just gonna be David (barf), Dave (barf)or Davey-boy!:bigsmile:Quote:

Bec: Good Luck tomorrow, I hope we get to see some pics. Seems like it has been a while since we had an u/s with pics.
Hobber: You said you weren't finding out, right?
Wow, 15wks to go for me. That seems so short, but thinking in months, June seems far away. I can't wait for the new baby, but I still have tons to do.
I hope Begonia gives us an update when she feels up to it.
I agree with ELP in the fact that pregnancy has different effects on different women. I have a 2.5-2 yr gap between children and I have a mix of boys and girls.Quote:

Do you think my breastfeeding then jumping into another pregnancy could have messed with my sway?
