September 2013 babies!!

[Salsa]

ps Thorz, I'll be stalking you to see how your scan went!! Cant wait! Dont worry about being behind us by a few wks, at least you'll find out your baby's gender before me!! I have about 5 months until I find out

How long now Thorz? Sending pink vibes!

Three days til mine. Not that I'm counting... Much.. I've been looking up boys names so I've got something I can relate to if it goes that way. I remember last time I had a boys name I'd been in love with for ages, and somehow it helped being able to think of him with a name straight away, gave him a personality. I'm trying not to think about my girls name list..

10 more hours! I'm not going to be able to sleep. It's 10:30 pm here and I'm usually about to fall asleep but I'm not tired at all! So my appt is at 8:30 am my time, but after I need to pick ds2 up and take him to a play date, I'll try to get back to you guys before then!

Thorz -- I hope you get some great nub shots! By the way, when I was looking for elective scan places, there are two in Columbus that have a spring special now for the quick peek gender determination. $65. Maybe if you book it now for a few weeks from now, you'd still get the special?

I can't believe I'm typing this but.....

IT'S A GIRL!!!!!

OMG congrats girl!! You must be so excited. I know how you feel, like someone is going to wake you up and it will all have been a dream. Enjoy and it will sink in. I am so happy for you!!

Ladies I need some quick advice!! Sorry tmi but I CANNOT poop!! I have never had constipation with any of my pregnancies, actually I'VE NEVER had it pregnant or not! Well I'm miserable now and have been taking regular fiber pills for the last few days because I heard that is the only safe thing you can take! But it isn't working! I actually think its worse since taking them! What can I take or do to
help get me back to regular and FAST because I'm in actual pain because of it!

So I just had to deal with this so for the first time also!! I haven't had to deal with it before pregnant or not so I didn't know what to do either. I think I waited to long for laxatives and stool softeners to work. I think I got dehydrated and so everything came to a halt and I was in pain and it was making me sick (vomiting) and so I was getting more dehydrated. Anyway, the ONLY thing that worked for me was fleet. I seriously thought I was going to end up in the ER if I couldn't get things moving and that stuff worked and it worked right away. I tried fiber, water, magnesium citrate, stool softeners, walking, etc. and I was only getting worse. Good luck to you cause I know it sucks!! Since I got things moving I have made sure I am drinking enough water and I am taking a small amount of Calcium/magnesium/citrate to keep things moving.

I'm so far behind everyone else in our group! I'll just barely be getting my 12 week scan tomorrow, in 16 hours. But everyone else in our group is finding out the gender..... I won't find out until May because we aren't paying for a private scan. We did that with Ds1 and it was $150 (I know they are cheaper now) but after I just kept thinking of all the things I could have bought for him with that money if I wasn't so impatient! If we had the money then I would totally do it. DH is in his 2nd year of a medical residency, and they pay residents pennies. But once he starts practicing on his own and making real doctor money, we will be able to afford things......new things, not always thrift store things lol!

Thorz you should just get it done!! My DH is now 1.5 years out of his residency/fellowship and I know how you feel. 5 years of residency/fellowship and $250,000 in student loan debt!! We didn't do any elective scans with DS1 or DS2 and now I wish we would have (and I don't spend money on much). Those images/video you will have for the rest of your life. I know it seems hard to believe cause I know how it is to be a stay to home Mom and completely broke just hoping that one day you will be able to breath easy when it comes to money, but one day soon you will be able to buy new things and not shop and thrift stores and clip coupons because you want to not because you have to. I totally understand where you are coming from though!! Good luck tomorrow!!

Ugh DS1 just woke me up and started vomiting!!! I don't know what to do, I can't very well take him to a sitter tomorrow. My friend has 2 kids, it wouldn't be fair for me to send a sick kid to her house! Looks like I might not be going to my scan in the morning. Unless I can figure something out!

[Honeychild]

Oh no!! Fingers crossed it was just something he ate and not a viral gastro. If he's stopped vomiting by tomorrow morning you could take him in with you. I gather hubby isn't able to help?

[WantingPink]

Oh no Thorz... hopefully he is better by the morning and can go with you!! Looks like you are in for a long night
