good luck on your 12wk us. yr fetus should be all moving around and dancing and you may cry when you see it.
are you doing the NT scan?
are you delivering at penn? they have a study going on where you fill out 200 surveys and get 3 free ultrasounds and cash. its a sweet deal.
further- are you a former nester? everyone thought you were me. and you are not.
Re: nomoreboozeforme
Oh and i'm going to guess you are Kernel until you or her tell me otherwise.
congrats.
I was told that I should come to the boards bc you were calling my name.
A. Congrats to you!
2. I can assure you my break from this board is NOT because I'm ku. Sorry I'm boring and have no secrets to tell at this juncture in my life. Although I am now curious who this person is.
My little nuggets
We should start a poll for who we think nomorebooze is. Now accepting nominations...
In order for me to nominate someone, I need some deets. NMBFM, are you a 'regular' over here but are trying to keep things super secret for the time being with an AE?
lol i'm the one who wants to know who it is! on a side note my bump name was letranger another book by camus ala lachute.
You're just trying to throw them off! ; )
SD, yes Weds is the NT scan. I am nervous. I think it will all feel far more real after that (assuming baby's heartbeat is still ticking away), and I may actually start feeling more like this is really happening and not just something I've dreamed up.
I was a former Nestie a couple of years ago. Haven't been on since, until now. I would go on the bump, but it's a bit intense.
I take it you had your NT scan already? When in June are you due?
I don't mind being outed, but if it could be after Wednesday's appointment, that would be great. I'm suddenly 100 times more superstitious than I was.
At this rate I'm going to remain clueless about kids and not own a single baby item until the kid arrives!
i won't out anyone! but good wishes for you and the little one. i understand being superstitious i held my breathe for the first 3 months all nervous.
i will let you out yourself when you feel comfortable.
everyone - out of my post!
i'm due last week of june. i'm measuring earlier than the lmp date shows so i dont know for sure yet. and how accurate those dates are anyway who knows? well someone knows probably.
i have a nt scan late next week. here's hoping the babies do not have damage.
Thanks. In some ways I feel really pragmatic, but in others not so much.
Don't want to 'announce' and then discover all is not well.
Be interesting to see if you are right about figuring it out - I'm not really the Mommy type.
haha i will Private message you.
i have no guess after kernal.
but i wish you the best whoever you are!
We're due at the same time. I'm 26th to 29th (depending on who you ask).
Good luck on your NT scan. I haven't even got to worrying about damage - I'm worrying about still having a heart beat. This is probably due to 10 million 'good bye' posts on baby sites & we just heard a friend miscarried at 9.5 weeks having already seen the heartbeat. Scary stuff. I'm staying away from baby sites and google right now and just trying to relax and enjoy it.
Have you been sick? Tired?
sick: earlier - wk 7 or so i was queasy a lot and had to eat little bits pretty much all the time, but am feeling better now. feel more human every day. still, i cannot stand eggs or poultry and have developed a sensitivity to dairy so i'm avoiding that. haven't puked yet.
tired: yes and i'm ok with it. i am enjoying allowing myself to be tired and rest. accepting that i am 'doing' something by growing a baby so i do not have to also do 100 other things around the house and at work and with friends ect.
i keep telling myself that if this baby thing doesnt work out, i had a pretty great and fun life pre-baby w the h, and going back to that wouldnt be the worst. though it would be a bummer.
how are you? any symptoms?
sd i never thought of you as a baby person, until you oogled my babies eyes at whole foods. and i was like aww sucker is going to be knocked up with in a year.
oh i'm a great big baby person. i am a baby snatcher with my friend's children.
i and the h just enjoyed working and making money and drinking and partying and traveling more so. timing is everything.
Not me!!! Every time I step away from the internets someone is trying to make me pregnant these days.
are cinders and the puppies ready for his.
they are 100% unprepared for this. cinders is threatening to leave us b/c the baby will live in 'his' room. our new puppy is certainly going to eat the baby.
oliver is psyched though. but not if he has to share the bed.
Not too bad. Lots of nausea, but they gave me meds which helps and it's much better already.
Tired a lot, but am also fine with it! I'm still able to revive enough to work out and it hasn't really affected our social life that much apart from not being able to drink!
Boobs are still sore, but food aversions are improving. I'm loving eggs.
Other than that all good. Bit absent minded, but nothing new there! ; )
yup kitties were booted from their room for milo. they are still bitter
that is good. glad the meds are helping.
did you pick a dr or hospital yet? did you go penn or lakeneau or jeff?
if you are into it, i started prebaby yoga at yoga child on south st. its nice bc at this moment i do not know any pregnant woman close by so i'm 'with my own kind'.
i love, love, loved prenatal yoga. i had class 2/week and it was seriously the best thing ever. especially towards the end when i could really feel things shifting, i swear it helped me stay upright and balanced.
This is so. not. me.
Or in fact DH. Neither of us has so much as changed a diaper. Ever. This is going to be good! ; )
Lankenau.
May be interested in Yoga (despite being not Yoga gifted). All after next Weds! ; )
Taking off so have to turn off phone. See ya!
well, i'm sure there are WORSE parents? right?! there's got to be.
i'm sure you'll get the hang of it - or you can always leave it bundled up and placed in a basket outside a convent.
take care. check back in after wednesday.
