TTC Blue Crew Grads

TTC5: What a roller coaster?!?! I am so glad your ride has gotten smoother. It feels like you have been pregnant longer because you have been through so much. I wouldn't worry about the heat stroke, babies make it through much worse than that.

Shaven: Congrats!!! I am so glad to hear some more successful sways.

Jen: I always say you get more sleep with a newborn than when you are 40 wks pregnant. It just is impossible to get comfortable doing anything, eat and sleep especially. I can't wait to see some pics of baby Charlie.

Begonia and ELP: You ladies are right behind her!!!

My 20 wk u/s is on Friday!!! Seems like these 4 wks have crawled by. I can't wait to see the baby again and not be scared to buy a couple outfits or dream about a baby boy.

WP - I couldn't agree more, I've given up on being comfortable or getting a good nights sleep till after the birth. So far I've had great sleepers with the exception of dd3 but she had sever GERD. My others were sleeping though the night by a few weeks or would wake up just once, I've been really lucky.

Yay for your 20 wk u/s, I can't wait to hear what's cookin'!

Tell me about it, this has been one wild ride already lol hopefully the rest of the preg goes smoothly after this lol!

I have lost a kilo already since falling pregnant. I am not a skinny person (size 14) so I guess I can afford to lose a little weight? Is it "safe" to lose kilos whilst pregnant? I am not trying to lose any although am walking daily for around 40 minutes to keep myself healthy during the pregnancy. I seem to have lost my appetite since falling pregnant, think my whole metabolism has just come to a halt?! My bowel movements are not that often like they used to be and my appetite is minimal. Maybe it is a BIG surge in progesterone as my boobs are SO sore, have gone up 2 sizes already and I am already leaking milk!!!!

I lost 15 lbs (almost 7k) with my first 2 and 10lbs (4.5 kilos) during my first trimester with this one. Don't worry about it, do the best you can and I'm sure you'll both be fine.

Okay I need some input and since we do not share our names until birth I can not ask family.......

We would like to use my father's name for the baby's middle name, Raymond is his first name and Mark his middle.

so........

Gideon Raymond

Gideon Ray

Gideon Mark

And my husband's family is from the Ukraine, so we sound forgein..lol. My FIL's name is Mishie (MEE-ShEE), so that is out. But we did want to use something from a family member's name just like the rest of the children.

We still are not set on Gideon, but I think it may be the winner. We also like Gabriel. Uhhhh, I just am going to need the whole 20wks I have left to decide. We normally take 2-3 names to the hospital and pick one, which we may still do. But since hubby doesn't know we also ahve to keep looking at girl names.

I like Ray or Mark :)

I love the name Gabriel!

Hey ladies,

I had my scan and all is good. The ultrasound tech wasn't so great. She was fast plus she doesn't know anything about the nub theory. I got DVD and some pics, I don't think there are any gender clues in the pics, but maybe a 'little' in the video, Really not sure. I might just post the pics for skull guessing. I don't know what to think a boy or girl ..but I'm leaning more toward a girl AND already very disappointed.

I'm measuring 13w6d one day ahead my ovulation day. Yeah that's good to know.

I'm glad your baby is healthy!! xxx

Oh and I poopied again YAYYYY I am actually thinking this issue was actually pregnancy related after all ;)

I got the hot flashes with my last 2 girls to the point where I would pass out, turns out I'm hypoglycemic.


Good luck, I hope there's a sticky bean growing!
