Re: Babies and bumps (to-be)
we have our NT scan tomorrow - I'm excited to see little baby Q again. obviously, still nervous too. our appointment is in the morning, and as long as everything looks A-okay, I'll be announcing the news on Facebook later in the day.
I'm feeling great for the most part. still have some bouts of nausea here and there, and still pretty tired, but feeling much more like myself than I have lately. my round ligament pain is off the hook and really low in my groin, so I'm going to be asking my doctor about it next week to make sure it's normal.
I took my very first "bump" picture this morning... even though there's no bump to speak of yet. anything there is just fat and bloat still. I can feel my uterus low in my abdomen now though, so I guess that's exciting, haha. please ignore the dirty mirror and dusty clock. my bathroom is disgusting right now.

I am testing next Monday if AF hasn't showed up by then. I am trying hard not to get too excited.
Mandee, that's what I call the "blump". The bloat bump. FX for your NT tomorrow!
Here's my picture from justnow. 29w6d
I don't think there's any denying this is a baby bump now.
Things are still definitely more good than bad. Chewy is now long enough to get himself wedged up under my ribs occasionally and he moves around a LOT. He certainly lets me know when I'm sitting in a way he doesn't like.
I realized last night that when I lean back and sort of stick my belly out you can very definitely see the outline of something (butt?) up at the top of the bump. It was so strange.
Friday night we bought all of the furniture for the nursery, and this weekend we're going to go carpet shopping. Once we replace the carpets I can put the furniture all together (Ikea).
My only real down right now is occasional swelling. Friday night was pretty bad from walking around at Ikea for a few hours. I've retired my wedding band, but my engagement rings still fits. I got the exercise bike set up in the living room on Monday, so I've been starting to get in a bit more exercise, which should hopefully help with the swelling.
Lastly, tomorrow I'll be 30 weeks. W.T.F. That's 75% of the way. After that there's only 7-12 more weeks. THAT IS INSANE! I have 8 weeks of work left! AHHH!!!!!!
We'll just not tell H about this little fact, m'kay?
You're so cute mandee. I hope everything looks great at the scan tomorrow!
Good luck carrot!
Not much to report for me. I go in for my second betas tonight, and just hoping that all comes back normal tomorrow. We have our first scan scheduled for March 13 - I really wish we could do it earlier, but DH will be travelling for a few weeks before that, and we really want him to come of the appointment. So I'll have to be patient and wait it out. So far I feel good, just sore boobs, but waiting for the m/s and fatigue to kick in soon.

I love the bump pics!!
Up: Darian turned 7 months yesterday! Seriously, every time I take a monthly birthday pic, it feels like I literally took the last one yesterday. He's sitting up pretty well on his own and it's fun to see the little games he makes up (he can spend like 20 minutes playing pick up the toy/put it in mouth/put it down/repeat).
Down: The screeching. OMG the screeching. It makes me want to rip my ears off. I guess it's from teething, I don't know anymore. We're trying every trick in the book to help with the teething. Poor little guy.
Baby #2: Surprise BFP 9.19.12, EDD 5.24.13, natural m/c 10.19.13 at 9w
I LOVE THE BUMP PICS!
Nothing new to report on my end really. We are taking the boys to their dentist appointment today. I can't believe its already time for P's first dentist appointment. P has his first speech therapy session tomorrow so I am super excited about that. I can't wait to hear him talk.
Jordan's 7th birthday is next week and we celebrating saturday nigth with 2 of his friends spending the night. Sunday we will have a small family cake and ice cream type party before his friends go home.
Good luck, mandee!
raynes - that is most definitely a baby bump - no doubting
ringy - Darian is such a little man now!
Here is my bump from a few minutes ago 31w1d
Honestly, I don't even recognize my own body in the mirror anymore. It's fascinating and cool but when I look at how huge I am now, I think that I look like I should just be in so much pain, but I'm not!
Tomorrow I go for my '30 week appt' (my schedule has been off this whole time) and after that I'm down to appointments every 2 weeks. Yay!
Things are still going very well over here. I have had a few nights where I wake up to pee, I'm hungry, I grab a snack and then I can't get back to bed but I haven't had one of those in a almost a few now.
Last Friday I was a bit swollen in my left leg after work but I was walking more than I usually do and my rings still fit.
Exercising is still going well. I had 2 good runs over the weekend (4.5 miles) and then yesterday was a horrible chore to even run. It's definitely getting harder.
I'm really hoping that things continue to go as well as they have been. Fingers crossed.
Not much new to report. We're letting Jackson feed himself a bit now. He loves the little puffs, but he can't quite figure out how to go from table to hand to mouth. He's such a ferocious eater that he gets really frustrated and throws a fit. Awww...temper tantrums already. Sometimes we laugh when he gets mad and does the pouty face. He sits up on his own, unless he's being lazy, so I can let him play for a bit while I run around the house to do chores. I think he's getting another cold, so I'm terrified with the lack of sleep I might be getting soon. Last night was a party time night for him, but that's okay. It was nice to just rock him and hear him babbling all night. Hopefully tonight I can get some sleep.
super happy baby most days. sorry it's a bit blurry.
Ok I have a huge up are you ready?
Myles took a step yesterday! I was holding his hands and he took 2 steps towards me. I was so excited. I don't think my little guy is going to crawl.
Also he has been sleeping like a rockstar!
I can't believe he's going to be 8 months old next week. He's such an awesome kiddo.
Love the bump pic ladies.
First I'll say that splitting them up yesterday went well. Zach did great at daycare. My mother said Christian was slow going in the morning (looking for Zach), but after his nap he was full of it. It was a pricelesss moment when I walked in the door with Zach. Christian ran up to him and gave him a semi hug. I wish I had gotten it on video.
Ups - zach is starting to say a few more words. Yay! This morning they were sitting on the floor pretending to talk on the phone with one another. It was so cute. We are also trying hard on them using forks. They get to stab the food but the fork to mouth (and keeping food on the fork) isn't quite there yet.
Downs - all the sickness. Poor Christians nose is so raw from wiping it all the time. Zach is still playing with his ear so i dont know if his new med is working on his infection or not They are a little crankier then normal as a result and I'm so ready for spring so they can get outside more!

Love the bump pics! raynes and rx - you two both definitely look undeniably pregnant now.
MO - how exciting! It sounds like it's only a matter of time before Myles is walking all over the place.
I love all the bumps! We have such a cute group of ladies!
Mo-That's so exciting!! Way to be an over achiever Myles, just skip crawling all together!
H is such a little sweetie, I can't get enough of her when I get home from work/school. She has been a little fussier in the evenings but I don't even care because I have missed her all day. I've made it 1/2 through my first week back without any major problems, I'm hoping things continue to get easier. I just need to get a routine down.
Here she is rocking her V-Day jammies. I love stripes on little kids, they are so fun and playful!
I think she has grown out of that "newborn" look, sad face! I do love watching her be more active and alert though, she loves lights, fans and blinds... it's the little things!
Love all of the bump photos, so fun!
G is doing great. We just got back from his 4 month appointment and shots. He did great. Only cried for a few minutes and now he is super happy. We'll see what the rest of the day brings.
I swear he changes daily. He has discovered so many things recently. We are starting some rice tonight too. It will be fun to see his response.
His sleeping is hit or miss but slowly getting better so I'll take it. I'm just trying to enjoy the snuggles while I can since time is flying by so fast!
Oh and teething sucks!
I love the bump and baby pictures!
MO - Myles is an overachiever. That's nuts that he's already taking steps.
Things are going great. Olivia has such an outgoing personality and it shows more each day. When we say yay, she starts clapping. Also she dances when she hears music but now she's trying to sing too. The big thing this week is that when she wants to get someones attention she says hey! It's the funniest thing. We had another tooth poke thru and now she has the four top and bottom teeth. She isn't crawling but she keeps pulling herself up to standing. She's started eating more solids and likes pasta and olives. So far she has tried everything she's eaten so I hope she continues to eat this good.
I just got back from 16w dr's appt, and everything is looking good.
Ups: I got to hear the HB for the first time today, and it was super exciting. The last time the dr tried to listen, it was still to early to hear it. Also, a friend at work yesterday commented that I'm starting to show a bit. I'm seriously looking forward to looking pregnant and not fat. Bump pictures may be in the near future.
Down: The only down is that I seem to have caught some stomach bug. Apparently, there's something going around, and I just seem to have gotten the bad luck of the draw.
MO, that's so exciting about Myles!
Raynes and Beth, you ladies are looking great. I can't believe how close you are.
BFP 5/2/11, missed m/c, D&C 6/13/11
BFP 12/8/11--Little Girl E Born 8/22/12
Good luck tomorrow Mandee!! And FX for great betas Sushi!
MO- that is awesome!!
Love all the baby pics, all so cute and all getting so big
Things are good here, I'm really starting to feel large and in charge.. which scares me since I'm still a whole tri away from meeting A.
I had my GTT yesterday and passed with flying colors - woohoo!... so glad bc I've been majorly craving cupcakes the last few days. Going to yoga tonight, hope it helps with some of the stiffness/aches/pains I've been starting to get. I also think my rib popped back out, but whatever, sort of expected that to happen. I'll deal as long as she keeps kicking away. Everything else is good, have an appt in 2 Mondays.
Here is my pic from Monday. I did a comparison shot 20wk to 26wk a few days ago on my blog.

I'm loving all the bump pics today. Mandee you are just too cute, I want to squeeze you!
All the baby pics are adorable also. Congrats to Myles on his first steps!
Nothing new with me, just patiently waiting to O.
Wow, I love seeing the bumps every week ladies!
In the past four days Noah started full blown crawling and got two teeth. It's nuts! He's all over the place, into everything, pulling himself up to everything and smashing his head off everything. Time to baby proof this house! We moved out the coffee table already. I can't seem to keep him away from the laptop, laptop cord, my cell phone and tv remotes. Those are his favourite things.
He's very into waving, saying Mama, laughing and, now, crawling. I can't believe he's seven months old.
