Dreaming Pink Due Date Group: TTC and Beyond #2

[GeCon]

Back from our last official scan. Our wee man is absolutely beautiful, we are already so in love, it is unreal. Heard his heartbeat too, all is well. He is currently measuring almost 2 weeks ahead as per the scan, but the doctor was not concerned as they go through growth spurts and then nothing the week after. He is already looking like our DS1. We actually saw him sucking his little fist... sooo cute.

Anyway, without further ado, here is our gorgeous and already so much loved DS2.

I am so happy for you both Pumpkin and Bunny...plus your tickers are extra sweet in that they refer to your babies in adorable ways!! A little snuggly bunny....and wee pumpkin that grows and grows....may June be an incredible month for you both!!!

Myrainbowgirl...I have been thinking of you lately, we have had rain with no rainbows, so I figure you must be taking them all!!!!

Gecon..he is just so cute!!! And a later scan is marvelous....I am glad you get to connect again with your little man before he arrives on scene!

Aww GeCon he's beautiful! Such a lovely profile shot. So can't wait to get to scan. I know the earlier ones don't show as much detail but awww!

Iloveladybugs, wasn't your LO the size of a honeydew last week or is it me?! Sorry, stalking I know, just intrigued as to what they compare to in size each week. Or is it a slow growth week?

Lol....my ticker is wonky!! I went to the site a few weeks ago when it was on eggplant for 3 weeks running....all I know is that there is less space and the movements are getting crowded...I think watermelon is what fruit I will stick with to the end!!! And you...a lovely little pea...your baby will grow fast!

Pumpkin and bunnywabbit - So glad to see that things are plugging along for you two! How are you both feeling?

Iloveladybugs - You are sweet to think of me. I am honestly seeing more rainbows than ever...not necessarily in the sky, but in pictures, or on TV, or reading the word, or whatever. I did see a rainbow in our neighborhood a few weeks ago...I can't remember the last time I saw one this late in the year! I live in a state where we get snow in October, seriously, they are super rare. Very cool! DH is very on board with #5, we are already talking about it. Seems so weird. I honestly go back and forth on how I really feel about it. Part of me is completely scared to even contemplate it, but the other part can't imagine not doing it. In DH's eyes, we will keep going till we have a girl...I cannot believe he is so supportive! I am just praying that she's next! Please keep us posted on all your appointments. Keep enjoying that maternity leave...you deserve it!

AFM - Not much new to report. Can't believe I'm only 15ish weeks away from baby! Time is totally flying! Feel pretty good, so I can't complain.

Myrainbowgirl....that sounds amazing! I know that my hubby was scared about ttc #3 in so many ways as his personal limit and comfort level was 2 kids. There was a night after the 18 week scan and my 22 week appt that he mentioned he might go for a 4th as he knew how much my heart longed for a daughter. You will one day hold your little girl...we have to believe that!!!!

AFM....I am being sent to Vancouver again...this time is Nov. 12-14th and it is for a follow-up scan for the "good" kidney. I am being told conflicting info on it, so hopefully it will rule out any issues. Mat. leave rocks....I am feeling much more relaxed, probably has to do with getting that shed sided too and having a cleaner house and cuddling boys!!!!

[bunnywabbit]

Ilovelladybugs, I hope your appointment goes well. Keep us posted.

Myrainbowgirl, I'm glad all is going well your end. And time is flying - can't believe girls in this group are in single-figure weeks to see their babies. So exciting!

I don't feel too bad - as far as m/s goes I thought I'd be much worse. Only the odd wave of nausea ever one in a while especially if I'm hungry or turn over quickly in bed. What's getting to me at the moment is water retention/edema. Got it in my right breast (had an op a couple of years ago to removed excess accessory breast tissue, right side more effected and was told would take a while to settle, which it did but is coming back), my upper arms, low stomach inner thighs and occasionally my ankles. I didn't think it would kick in so early and not sure what to do to ease it - I'm doing my best to drink around 8 cups of water and have never been a huge salt eater anyway.
