Lola- I heard about that book, so it's worth the read?

Well ladies great appt, solid heartbeat and quick u/s. No good pics as the baby was crazy uncooperative, couldn't even get a slight profile lol Told dh and he said good, I want a squirly baby. Lol Anyway the big gender finding out u/s is scheduled, Sept 23 here we come!

More good news! Lola the fertility gods have smiled on us both, bil and his worthless gf are having another girl!!! I feel a bit evil for being so happy but f-it I'm happy

Well I gotta leave for my appt in about 10 minutes so I guess I better go, I'll check in later with an update and hopefully pics

OMG Im soooo excited now! I will stalk this thread all day hope you come back ASAP and post! (also hoping you find out :P)
but anyway I can't wait to see cute baby pics!!!!!

I think when the foetus is this small it's easy for the Dr to be off a little, I mean it only millimetres. My dates were very specific too, doing inseminations I knew exactly when I did it. On my scan photos though it says second trimester, I don't know why, a mistake I'm guessing?

That's weird. when was your insemination date? I wasn't able to read back and I hope its not too personal to ask, but are you doing a volunteer C-Section?

ahhh no picks, but you know I heard that babys who move to much are usually boys.
What babys your BIL have? All girls?

Lola -the "whole arm "you are so funny
Not easy to take it out . What I did put one leg up on the toilet and reach for it like that. Maybe a little bit easier that way. But for sure hard to take it out.
Lot easier to put it in.
See I still don't have any IC! Ahh have to buy some, but all I do for like 2 weeks is buying school stuff!

Also I have to hide it all because DD1 is already suspicious about all the sups ...the other day I was shopping with her (school stuff of course) and I was in a hurry home to eat () and she was like -why are you always worry about your blood sugar ? I was like I want to be healthy and live long lol
She don't wan us to have another baby at all! She already said after DD4 she hopes no more baby for us.
Well sorry for her, but she is not the one to decide lol.I told her you can do that when it's about your kids.

iluv-big hugs to you! omg I would go crazy if I have to take all this stuff! Just to research it is to much for me lol and I don't even have a clue what is a naturopath lol.
Anyway I guess Im the other way around I take my prenatal and eat healthy and that's it . Im scared to take anything else when pregnant , because what if ?

Sorry about the "hoarding mother" I just absolute hate hate that kind of stuff! omg I even hate to pack up Christmas stuff lol. I always clean out things and give it to goodwill or to someone else. Must be very hard to live in a house like that!
Hope you guys can move out soon!

I think that's the million dollar question but there's also the theory's as to why we have so many issues w/ ADHD, ADD, Autism & other stuff. There is a school of thought that our food most people eat is so deficient of vitamins, nutrients, fats & oils (processed foods w/ a lack of healthy oils and lack of good animal fats and proteins) that we aren't giving our growing babies what they need.

The Krill and FCLO/Butter Oil have great Omegas, EPA, DHA. Krill has great Vit. A, D & Astaxanthin. Vitamin D is extremely important which we s/b getting from sun exposure but with sunblock and weather, most people don't get enough and pre-term labor has been associated with the deficiency. You can make up so much in food but not many of us eat that great or supps wouldn't really be needed at all. I don't find the regular pre-natals purchased from our HMO are that good.

Anyway I'm sure that was way too much info! I think it's a hard balance to find and the naturopath is just a holistic Dr.. I will meet with 1 just to verify. It is scary though to go outside the norm. My current Dr. knows nothing beyond his scope of modern medicine and when I showed him my prenantals he really didn't look and said I should just take Kaisers. what a disappointment. My sister is due the end of October and she's been taking the FCLO & Innate prenatals so I will feel much better if she has a healthy delivery.

It would be nice if someone like the coroner would give me a call back and give me some info about my son's Cause of Death. It's just been guess work and internet research. Maybe the naturopath will give me some sort of insight. W/ a 2 hr. consult he might be able to give me some info and at least listen to me. My Dr. gives me none. AUGH! I'm just praying about the supps and doing what I think is best.

NO pressure and I don't want to get on a soap box in anyway, I just think it's fascinating.

iluv: I am going to have to look into all the supp you take while pregnant. We drink raw milk and know the benefits since we live on the farm, but all the info is so awesome. Your creating a very nice home for your little bean, I hope he wants to come out when your due date rolls around.

Well, I had tons of EWCM yesterday and we did BD. I expected my temp to be up this morning, but it was still 96.9....which is has been for the past few days. But, I know I am Oing or the hoover dam broke yesterday.

Oh, Hubby has another complant.....his hair is growing too fast. I normally cut his hair once a month, but now it is every 2-3 wks. And the poor guy, he is having to rip his finger nails off more often (he doesn't like the nail clippers). My nails are growing like crazy, too.

I was doing the raw milk last pregnancy and totally believe in it. Taking it again is a little scary for me though since we don't bottle it ourselves and I just feel so unconfident about C.O.D for our son. I'm really really debating on drinking it again. I'm scared but I think it's benefits are excellent. Debate, debate, debate. That's so great you have cows on the farm. I wouldn't hesitate that way.

Flava- he's got one girl already so this is two. He's just the kinda guy that would rub dh's nose in it if he had a boy and we have another girl. It's literally the only thing he could hold over dh and he would.
FX your right and its a little blue hider
Sorry dd1 doesn't want more, if my girls had their way we'd be the Duggars lol

Iluv-I can only imagine that almost any answer would be great at this point. Big, big hugs to you momma

[Flava]

iluv- Im sure we have all this problems because we do not eat healthy! me and DH watch movies about this stuff and it's scary how they slowly kill us really with all the junk! So we try to eat better for sure.
That's just crazy they can't give you info about the cause of death! It would make me wonder did they do somethign wrong and that's why they don't want to tell?

[Flava]

3pink- at least bil can't be all over it haha! I so hope you have a boy in there!
yeah DD1...she will be 14 in a couple weeks and she is not helpful or anything like that. Sometimes I asked her to hold DD4 and she got angry even at the baby! So I guess she think if we have more I ask her to help (which would be normal, I think bigger kids can help out and all kid have to learn chores anyway ) and she just don't like to do anything to help .
I only asked her sometimes ! Not like every day !
