Dreaming Pink Due Date Group: TTC and Beyond

[Mathilde]

What have you done so far?

Went on lily pie, loged in, made ticker, followed as instructions from atomic( clicked on ..bb..link) copied and tried to put into signature, but to no avail...

[GeCon]

Can you PM me the ticker and I'll try it, Mathilde?

[Emily]

Emily did you have your scan yet?? I'm thinking of you

Thanks! Nope, not till tomorrow mid morning Spanish time. The good news is that we have got someone to watch DS2 so DH will get to see this time round

[GeCon]

That's great news, Emily. I wish you all the best for your scan tomorrow and will be stalking for an update.

[Niva]

Ladybugs, thanks for asking! I go tomorrow at 11am (CDT) and DH is coming too. I can't even describe how much I'm hoping to see the heartbeat and a much larger gestational sac than before. My midwife seemed really encouraged by the fact that my beta levels are still rising, so I'm letting quite a lot of hope creep in again!

GeCon, I totally sympathize with the heat and ms. Here in Texas it is just unbearable to be outside more than ten minutes at a time. I never had ANY ms with DS, but now with this pregnancy I have to admit I am just not myself. It's not pure nausea like you get with motion sickness, and I have a stomach of steel and am never bothered by smells, so I'm in denial that I actually have real morning sickness! But I just feel so faint and headachy and have so much air in my stomach, and that does make me feel really icky a lot of the time. (If the nausea goes away as soon as you burp, does that count as ms nausea? Sorry, tmi!)

Emily, best of luck for your scan! I am in agreement with the no nubsessing.

It's proving hard to spare myself the gender guessing even though I'm team green -- last night I caught myself looking up whether girls or boys have lower hcg levels on average (it's boys, grr). Why do I feel the need to torture myself googling like that when I have completly decided not to find out!?!

[I Love Ladybugs]

Niva......no!! I can't stalk you for updates tomorrow.....working all day, then travelling to my ILs, and no access to GD when I am there...unless I sneak on in the am. They have no clue I live on this site.....lol, or how much I consider the gender of my unborn baby. Good luck!!! Things sound on track for you

I am going to be on here if I can all....but my ILs would give me grief if they catch me on here. I am also going to reign in my baby talk....only 29 more days until we know gender!

[GeCon]

Niva, good luck for later. Can't wait for an update from you too.

Emily and Niva, I hope you'll both post a pic of your little beauties. We promise we won't nubguess if you don't want us to.

[GeCon]

As for me: I am officially 10 weeks today and the baby is now the size of a rock, AKA prune.

Ladybugs, 29 days is not long at all for you. Woohoo! Are you counting down the days?

[GeCon]

Charlee, how did you get on with the InheriGen test you mentioned some time ago?

[Emily]

Just got back from the scan and am feeling soooo happy but weird. For the record ladies, not asking for a nubshot is not enough to avoid nubsessing. The tech was looking at the heart and nuchal fold and I was zooming in on the nub!

I saw an angled up nub and weirdly I was ok with it as just at that second she told me the baby was perfect with amazingly good stats for my age (lower risk of downs than expected in early 20s). DH was there holding my hand and then she zoomed in in the nub and said I think you are having a girl but I can't be sure.

So, I disagree with her but obviously don't want to. I didnt think to say dont talk about gender as i have never heard of a spanish doc talking about nubs and angkes before. So now what do I do? I have nub shots that basically could go either way but don't think I am brave enough to post them. One is very flat and the other looks more angled up.

So much for chilling in team green till the 20 week. DH says just to think we are still at 50 50 as it wasn't a definite boy angle. He seems to be getting wiser by the day!
