November 2013 babies!

[zem7]

So question, I am 18 weeks. Just for the last hour or so, I have been getting fuzzy vision. I can see normal things just fine, but when I go to read something on the computer/book. Its HARD! Should I be worried about this or is this something normal, never had it with my previous 4 babies. Thanks!

That doesn't sound great Zem. You should probably talk to your Dr if it continues.

Zem, I would call the doc too... although what really shocks me is this is your 5th pregnancy!! You are amazing!

Bythe******, you are so sweet to remember. I really am doing ok. It is a warm weekend here in LA and just enjoying hanging outside with my family. I did have a rough phone call with my mom yesterday. Love her, but she brought up that the scan is monday and started telling me that I cannot be disappointed as long as I am having a healthy baby. I hung up and decided it's ok to feel what I feel. I really think I will be ok when I hear boy, but I am not going to just tell myself to feel one way or another. That is what stresses me out! Feeling like I can't be disappointed for 1 second, you know? If I tell myself that it is ok to be disappointed for a bit then it makes me relax. So that is what I am going with. I am not a horrible person, my feelings are just my feelings!

I am headed to brunch with my girlfriends... I promise a bump pic later!! I went to a friend's bday party last night and no one realized I was pregnant. I am telling you I just look fat!!

Goodluck Lizzie

Is anyone else with a DD onboard a little bit scared to have a DD?! Im starting to think maybe i shouldn't have wished for a DD so hard when i love my boys to bits and think they are great....of course im over the moon and feel blessed to have a DD but at the same time im definately scard of how the dynamics in the house will change and how my boys will be affected.

So far I have not had it happen again, stayed that way for about an hour. If it does it again, I will call and ask. BUT for sure will ask at my next apt. I don't think it has anything blood pressure related, I have low bp that just gets lower while pregnant. Yep this is unexpected baby 5! lol Although this is my 6th pregnancy, had one MC. Don't know if you know my story (posted the long story on here somewhere) we had 4 kids, didn't want anymore so I got fixed, well it didn't work or something so here we are!! lol

Glad it didn't last long Zem, you should definitely ask just incase is serious.

Not long until your scan now Lizzie. How many hours? I might have to wait until morning probably.

I know what you mean dreaminginoz, will I know how to bring up a girl? My husband never had sisters either so I think he's a little bit nervous.

Hi girls,

Scan in ~ 3 hours, so yes you Australians will have to wait till tomorrow. Thanks for all the good wishes, girls! (As you all know, I am convinced I am having a boy and I would love a girl, but I hear you about having one sounds scary somehow too.

Zem, WOW. I did not see your story about how you got fixed and then an accident. WOW. I gotta read the details. That is so crazy unexpected fun! xoxo

So news Lizzie, it's tomorrow already!

[Lizzie Lizard]

Ummmm.... it's a girl???!!!! I am in total, complete disbelief. I feel so crazy for this thinking it is a boy business, but seriously every bone in my body was telling me it was a boy?? I still cannot believe it???

I was so anxious. The doctor was late. I was tearing up waiting for him to come in. My husband was like "pull yourself together!". It was just the build-up of it all!!! So he came in and said- 20 week scan, you want to know the sex? I said yes, but maybe not right in this room. He said he would write it down. He usually isn't real chatty, but he was all chatty asking me what I thought it was and I kept saying I didn't want to look at the screen and see something I didn't want to see and he said it was fine- he didn't know what he was looking at either. haha

So he wrote it on a piece of paper and handed it to my husband (I hit the bathroom.) We stopped and got subway sandwiches and got home and were eating. My husband just pulled it out and opened it and passed it to me. I was like... wait, now??? and his eyes were filled with tears and he said read it, it's a girl! I still cannot believe it!!!

You girls never gave up hope for me. And you were right!!! xoxo
