He called his mom up and well, his mom really wants to do the gender party at her house.. and plan with us so I guess that's okay. She's REALLY excited about it. So we will get together with her this weekend and plan.

As far as your situation, I've been thinking about you and what to say but it's hard. Where are you staying now?
Maybe some space from DH is the best thing for now?

I took some MUCH needed space & we talked about a lot of things so it's getting better & I heard baby's heartbeat yesterday :) 140-142 & I was so worried because all I had was water & every time I don't eat the heart rate is slow. I Am so not ready for next Thursday although we made our own BET which is fine with me..hell it was MY idea lol but if it's a boy I win!! I'm already thinking of what to buy with my $300. If he wins well who cares!! But I am nervous I guess the feeling of knowing what I'm having makes me feel even more like oh no it's almost time for you to come out of here and the videos of child birth is truly torture to my soul!!

Can you freaking believe we are already halfway through!? It's AMAZING how time has flown!
I am SO SO SO glad that things are going well for you guys, and you can find some peace together. It's a stressful journey, but I'm proud of you that you both realize you are in this together and things are getting really exciting as you are about to discover the gender of your first baby together! I have my 20 wk scan on Monday..I'm so excited! More pics, and FINALLY a DVD! Also getting cranked up for our Gender Party. We are going to go talk to MIL tomorrow about plans and ideas.. Everyone in his family is just dying to find out what we are having and probably will be delighted that a party goes with it. His mom already told us "There are a few that thinks it's a boy." Well that's to be expected. LOL I wouldn't care if they all thought Boy.. it's a better shock factor!
So are you going to find out then??? When is your scan ;)
I really hope you do.. we are due date buddies damn it and have been going through this whole TTC and prego journey together! LOL

Thank u so much :)
The big day is Thursday !! I'm so nervous I cant get excited yet lol. We have been thru this crazy but well worth it journey together but I think in 2 more day I will make my final decision about if I wanna know or not I just can't shake the nerves yet! I feel like once I know what baby is then its more real like oh my gosh you are coming!! I'm just excited for the holidays & dressing up with this big belly & getting baby gifts. I even can't wait to paint the room a pretty color for baby! I finally have pictures of my belly but I'm clueless as to how I add them from my phone. My mom is very judgemental & she says things that bothers both hubby and me like "eww you're barely showing!" everyone else says I'm pretty big for 5 months and I think the same thing! I think my belly is super super low but big! The baby has been really low so my doctor recommended a belly band/belt & I'm noticing that there's less pressure & my belly is even picking itself up!! :-D

Well I had my 19-20 week anatomy scan today.. I don't know how to feel.
I still have a daughter, that's the great news, but they want me to come back in 4 weeks for 2 reasons (I've never had to have a follow up scan!)... #1 baby is low.. too close to the cervix but they say it can raise up in time.. #2 The claimed that my baby wasn't positioned right enough to get a good look at the heart.. but DH and I were confused as we could see it just fine, esp when the doctor came in after the tech to explain. And it was such a hectic day I could not get to my appt on time so I was super late and couldn't go to my doc appt afterwards to discuss what is really going on. I don't always trust medical professionals because they will sugarcoat things and say not to worry etc...because that's exactly what she said to me (the doc) she said if baby stays low then it's not safe for a vaginal delivery annnd I was thinking...WTF? I have been looking into things this time that I never did before, even earlier delivery, and maybe that's God's way of preparing me..who knows, only time will tell.

And I knew something is off like baby is low or whatever because this has been the most uncomfortable pregnancy to date.. she's hard to carry! I'm always feeling pressure or stretching pain even when I'm sitting and resting it's crazy.. lol I don't know how bad it will get before I am full term!!!! YYYIKES!
I guess I'll be saying a lot of prayers from now on. I know how blessed I am right now though, please don't take that the wrong way. :)

Try not to worry Butterfly. This happened to my cousin with her first baby...they couldn't get a good view of all the chambers of the heart because of the way the baby was positioned. She had to go back and all was fine. Her baby girl is now 4 months old.
And for my little peanut, it took the tech and the dr. so long to get good views of some areas...my little girl was just being uncooperative.

Prayers to you.

Butterfly - I'm sure everything is fine. If they thought it was an emergency they'd have you come back a lot sooner. Just think of this as an extra chance to see your little girl :HH:

Thanks Mydream, yes, they did tell me it was because of her position that they couldn't get a good view, so I hope all is well. She is a stubborn one already lol just like she was at 14 wks and refused to show us her goods. lol
Thank you for the prayers just incase! :HH:

Well I'm SUPER excited! I hope you remember your due date buddy in your decision! ;)
It does make it more real to add an identity to your little one, and start to shop! Now that it's been confirmed confirmed although DH had no fear I was a teency bit nervous..lol
I will now FOR SURE convince DH that we need to hop on those end of season clearance deals!!!!!
I'm taking my daughter home in a dress lol even if it has leggings! So after our gender party it's ON, and I will post that first sacred girl item for everyone that has asked to see! The time has just FLOWN and DH has been working a lot to get ready for the Holidays so, we haven't been able to get out and shop together.
It will be fun to have a big belly at Christmas won't it! ;)
Okay, so for your pics, go ahead and email them to yourself from your phone, and then open your email and save the picture to your computer.. then you post it here by clicking the tree picture icon and >My Computer>Click Image> and then Upload Image. Easy Peasy :)

I think I might just get a belly band!

Butterfly same exact thing happenned to me..my doctor is quite strict though and she said rest no heavy lifting and she didnt want me to fly,i could also feel alot of pressure low and it was uncomforatable,she was so low,but 2 weeks later the placenta moved and baby moved up alot,so shes in a normal position now.I think it happens alot and most of the time they do move:) dont worry about it,dont lift heavy things though :Flower:
