August Thread for TTC Blue - Chit Chat!

Oh that is sweet, Lola!

LOL about the watermelon smuggler! DD2 was 9lbs 2oz but she was more of a honeydew in there. I don't know where my babies go but they just don't go OUT very much. I'm 5'7 and have a long torso though so I think maybe they just streeeetch out in there.

That's part of the reason I want to avoid mat clothes too, WP ... as long as I can just look fat-ish I'll take it. I'm a pretty private person and my least favorite thing about pregnancy has always been that perfect strangers can see full well that I am going to have a child. It feels like they get to know something very important about me without actually knowing me, and I hate that.

Oh and Lola I am for sure not finding out! That said if I see something on the u/s after looking at all these nub shots, etc I wouldn't be surprised if I end up with a good guess. DD1 and DD2's NT scan photos don't show nubs, but I wonder if I had known what to look for then during the actual scan if I could have seen it? Anyhow, even if I get a hint I won't mention it to DH one way or another ... he's always wanted the surprise so I don't want to spoil it.

B, that is sweet that you are doing this for DH (mostly!)! You guys are funny, I love people knowing I'm pregnant so they DON'T think I'm fat! And because I get to cut lines and get free cupcakes and such. LOL

I'm back and the u/s was fantastic, baby was super squirmy! No nub shot but here's my favorite. It's like it was saying "hi mommy, I'm ok in here"

Jen that tiny baby is so cute! No nub but I have to say that head looks boyish to me.

[3Pink1Blue]

thanks ladies

Flava you kill me

[begonia]

Oh my gosh though I totally agree Flava... something about that precious profile looks boyish! I love the wave! Thanks so much for sharing the pic Jen; really is just a sweet little baby in there. Yay! Will your MW keep indulging you with weekly appts and u/s? Or are you not going back for a couple weeks now?

Missed a couple of days!

Jane- You're a strong woman! I hope AF stays away.

3pink- What a cute belly shot and u/s pic! Gosh I can't wait to be preggers again.

Maternity clothes- I avoid them too! I have a tilted uterus and I'm tall so I don't show for a really long time. It's just easier for me to get regular clothes in a larger size. A lot of the styles now are longer shirts with empire waists anyway.

I got my ph strips in the mail but barely have any CM to test I thought they were duds or something b/c what I did put there did nothing. But I tested DH's semen (is that weird? lol) and wowza it was clear as day at 9. So I'm guessing him doing the diet too is helping? Or he could just naturally be at that ph anyway.
