July 2010 Mommies

[djasinski]

Just checkin in ladies!
I will be 17weeks on Friday and I am looking pretty pregnant now. Just over the past 2 weeks my belly has really grow. But I don't feel too bad- my weight gain is only 2 lbs. He is starting to move alot more. My 3 yr old daughter can't wait to feel him. Nausea and headaches are much better. Another US on March 10th.

Hello Ladies!

Dj- It seems as if we decide to post at the same time almost always! Glad your headaches and nausea is getting better. Hope everything is going great your way!

Brazen- I'm sorry you are having such horrible experiences in every thing medical you have done! I'm usually pretty lucky, but I did have to sit forever yesterday at my appointment! Hopefully the next month flies by for you...I have two weeks to wait for my US and I'm soo anxious!

Ria- Congratulations on the boy! So, what is your opinion on having a third baby for a girl? I thought about it if this one isnt' a girl, but I've decided two is enough for me and I will take what I get and enjoy it just as much!

Ele- Yes, the first weeks of movement will be very low. I was quite in shock to find it that low with my first pregnancy. It will start to move up as the weeks go on.

I had a checkup appointment yesterday. Heartbeat was in the range of 155 to 160 in which she said was completely normal. My US is scheduled for March 1st and I'm super excited. I would be so bummed if they couldn't tell what it is! That happened with my son and the only reason I got another one without paying out of pocket is because they couldn't see all 4 chambers of his heart and had to before he was born.

Hope everyone is having a great week. I've been stuck in the house burried under lots and lots of snow!

Holy pancakes! I've missed a lot! My computer had a virus and we just got it up and running this weekend! Gald to be back on the internet!

Had my 20 week US today...and...I GOT MY GIRL!!!! I have been going crazy the past couple days...I kept thinking "I want a girl SOO bad, that its probably going to be a boy." I would have been happy with either...but it is nice to get what you were hoping for. So Proud....I'm sending you my girl vibes!!!! Haven't decided on names yet...but my boyfriend is like DEAD SET on Lexis ) So, we'll see!

As far as movement, she's kicking and moving and punching away in there! **Except for the US today...of course, she wouldn't move, they couldn't get a good picture of the umbilical cord because her legs were curled up and she REFUSED to move** The movement is strong enough now that my boyfriend can feel it when he puts his hand over my belly ) I wish I could get my son to sit still long enough to feel it...but...he doesn't even sit still to eat...so!

Just wanted to check in! Can't believe we're all getting to the halfway point!!

Oh...also...

Was wondering if anyone has had any cravings yet! I think it was asked already, but now that everyone is further along, figured I'd ask again!

Mine so far:
I HAVE to have a glass of milk with ANYTHING I eat! ANYTHING!
Macaroni Salad
Chinese food

hey everyone!! I was originally due in Aug, but due date has been moved up to July 28th. So, I'm not new to the website or anything, just new to the July thread!! I'm expecting my second, already have a son who is 14 months. I am a SAHM and looking forward to another little one. We find out March 19 what we're having!!

I had my ultrasound this morning. Baby was jumping around but all the measurements looked great. Actually baby is measuring in the 90% percentile but that's somehow still considered normal. The tech noted a minor amount of fluid in a kidney but she said that it's not unusual and usually will clear up over time.

Baby was being modest for us -- had the cord between the legs and then had the hands over the private parts, but eventually we got a pretty good look and it looks like a girl The tech was really nice and seemed really knowledgeable and she said she definitely didn't see any boy parts. Woot team pink!

Im a little over 17 weeks and I've been feeling the baby move quite a bit, but never when my fiance is around=S At my last appointment the UST said that it looks like a girl so I got really excited. My next appointment is this Tuesday so I'm really wanting them to check again so I can go shopping! My family is starting to get super excited for this baby and I'm thinking about telling my 6 and 2 year old sisters soon. If anyone has any good ideas on how to tell them I'm up for the advice! My fiance and I have been getting along a lot better lately, things just get stressful and I'm crazy hormonal! But this is only our first so I'm thinking things will be better the next time around=]

So, if I am counting correct, we (july mommies) are in the lead with 3 boys (me, srk & ria) and there is just 2 girls (lsdixie & elenash). Go BLUE! LOL

As for me, all is well. He is starting to move more- especially when I pick up my 14 mth old. I am 17w2d now. Back pain is starting- my favorite! (NOT). Weather is getting nicer, so hopefully I can start walking with the girls and take them to the park.
3-D US on March 10th so I will be back then to post his pics.

Wow...just made my first looong post and it all got deleted. Darn!

Short version;

I'm 27 yrs old and expecting my second on July 20th. Date is pretty certain as I'll be having a c-section. I was in labour 18 hrs with my (now 4 year old) son, had epidural and all the rest of it and I refused to dilate so....

All is going well so far; we've decided not to find out the sex of the baby. Next US is March 12 and will have better pics to hopefully post then!

[ProudMaMa&Wife]

So, had my US today...everything looked great...and..............IT'S A GIRL!!!! That's right...I got my girl...so DJ it's not tied 3 to 3. Haha! I'm 21 weeks today...can't believe I'm over half way there. July is coming quicker than ever!

Hope the rest of you ladies are doing ok. It's getting late and I've been gone ALL day so I'm wore out. I will post pics and respond to some of you ladies tomorrow.

Hope everyone has a good weekend!
