Due December 2012! Christmas Babies!

Hi ladies, Sorry I havent been around much lately but I have been sooooo sick...Seems to be getting better now..Thank God!!! I also had cramping like that the other day Yuzu, I drank a ton of water and rested lots and it helped....I have popped big time this past couple of weeks....I have moved into maternity clothes and it is hard to hide my bump....I have my gender/anatomy scan on July 16...I will offically announce after that...Both our family know already and some close friends....Hope everyone will soon start frrling better soon as we move into our 2nd trimester :)

well, I'm officially in my second trimester!! I didn't feel too sick yesterday...Zofran was working and have been ok today so far.

We're BBQing a ton today for Memorial Day. So lots of yummy food around my house. I made salmon spread, homemade potato salad, corn on the cob, italian pasta salad, DH is BBQing ribs and then we have a banana cream pie and a blackberry and raspberry pie with vanilla ice cream for later. I sure hope I feel like eating some of that later. lol.

Hope everyone is feeling good today!!!

Goodness, that sounds delicious! Invite me over!:rofl:

when is your scan today NeedAGirl! ? Can't wait to look at your nub pics!

It's in about 4 hours. I am pretty sure it is going to be boy. My NT scan pics were kinda split - one looked girl, one looked boy. Saw the midwife this morning and heartbeat had slowed down a lot. I know that doesn't always mean anything. Luckily my boys have been pretty fun and sweet lately so it makes me hopeful that I will take it ok. Sometimes it just doesn't seem fair though..

Best of luck today needagirl! :)

how exciting, don't worry about the heartbeat my DD2 was always in the 120-130's

NeedAGirl-how did your scan go?

Sooo... the take away message was - hope is still alive!! I actually feel more hopeful than ever! (but trying not to be too hopeful, it is still early)

I did not mention anything about gender because they don't tell you until 16 weeks. But, within a minute or two, I could tell she was looking at the area in question. She froze the screen and pointed to the nub and said "see this? this is the tubercle. It is pointing down." Then took a few more looks including potty shots and said "it really looks like a girl." I couldn't believe it!! Of course, she was sure to mention several times that it was still early and things could change but did say that girl would be her guess for now. Also, later on she was looking at a different potty shot angle over and over again and said out loud "God, that really looks like a girl."

I then told her my purpose for the scan at 13 and a half weeks was to see if there was any point in even hoping, that many 13 week boy USs seem more obvious. She said that yeah, she has definitely seen 13 week ultrasounds that you could tell for sure it was a boy. She said "there is definitely hope" with an emphasis on the definitely!

I just posted my nub pics. Wish I could figure out how to take screen shots of the video or take portions of it. It is more girly looking on the video. Give them a look and let me know what you think!!
