Due in December 2014 - Jan/Feb 2015

Thank you!
I'm TTC girl . I'm also inclined to not finding out till the baby comes. I had massive GD with DS2 when we were told boy and still feels guilty about it to this day (nearly 9 years!). With DS3 we didn't find out and I couldn't help but fall in love with him the minute I saw him so it was a lot smoother :-).

Rosie: yes it totally feels different- I actually feel pg this time- and yes I will be able to have a scan maybe next week just to make sure. I swear I'm already showing - I know it's silly because its only the size of a sesame seed lol

Congratulations sunflower! So sorry about your losses. FX its your sticky bean x

So glad to hear Lavie. I am sure baby is in the right spot! I am already showing too. I know it's not uterus or baby yet but my belly is not flat anymore at all. I look 12 weeks pregnant in the morning and 16 weeks by night fall. Not sure how I will hide the pregnancy much longer. I wasn't planning on saying anything until after the 12 week testing.

Wow, congrats to all the newcomers :-) I've been MIA for a almost a week, just busy with work stuff and trying to get as much accomplished before I hit the 6 week mark when I expected the nausea to hit hard. And...we are now at week 6, and guess what, lol? The nausea has hit :-) So far it doesn't seem quite as bad as last time. Whether it's still gearing up or maybe it just won't be as bad, time will tell! For now, I'm just trying to breathe through most of it, eating small meals of mostly toast seems to help, and then I also just picked up some essential oils that are supposed to help. We shall see!

I feel like I read so many updates that now I can't seem to focus on any one thing to comment on, lol. I will do better from here on out to stay up to speed :-) I will say the fact that multiple of you had opposite genders from what they said at the early scans does scare me a bit. I was hoping that since we're trying for blue, we might get a shot at the 12 week scan, but it sounds like even the 20 week scan is not always correct! Definitely going to have to research what this "turtle" thing is though :-) Always learning!!

It's been right for all three of my kids. DS1 was pH 7, DS2 was pH 8, and DD was pH 5. I've definitely seen it be wrong before though.

I'm sorry you're feeling sick Crazycat. Mine got worse around the same time. I hope you are able to get a telling ultrasound!

For fun here's my 9 weeks comparison bump pic between ds2(left) and this baby (right). Makes me feel more sure baby is a girl....or twins. I get my first ultrasound Wednesday and I can't wait!

Ugh I am so big. I am hoping a lot of it will go down in a week or so before a family function we have. I was completely flat stomached just two weeks ago.

Don't know what's with the two pictures posting. Oh well. The top is the better of the two. Don't mind my phone. It wouldn't get a good shot without it in the picture and I can't edit on my phone haha.

Wow! You ladies are def showing! I'm lucky if I look like that by 20 weeks! (I hate that I just look chubby and no real bump, I guess it's my height, I am average weight). Although I do hear that each baby gets bigger quicker, so maybe this one will be that one!

I'm a tad irritated that I haven't gotten any beta levels back. I am pretty sure things are progressing well. But apparently the doc "doesn't have any results" yet. Even though I had a draw on Thursday of last week. Grrr. I'm pretty sure I can guess about what they are. But I want reassurance that things are going well.

I've been more nauseous in the evening and MAN am I irritable. My kids are driving me nuts. Lol. I hope it abates a little soon. I am a little surprised that my boobs aren't sore. They were with all three of the others. But I'm not thinking too much about it. My tests are fine. Ill have to wait patiently on the betas.

Oh wow rosie - beautiful bumps ladies. I have only had 1 pregnancy but didn't show until like 7th month

I hope you get yours back soon hotdogz!

Sweet bump Rosie!
