Just seeing if you are hanging about? How are you doing so far with your pregnancy?

[pixiedust012404]

So far everythings going pretty good. I still have wicked morning sickness, in fact I think it's getting worse instead of better. Hoping in the next it calms down cause I go back to school the 27th and not sure I'll be able to handle school & work while getting all the time!

How about you???

[mythreesons]

Doing well! The big morning sickness but I get occassional bouts of nausea.

School and work?!? Sounds like you will have your hands full.

My youngest just started preschool and I have 6 hours to myself a week. I am not quite sure what to do with myself. For the most part i have been taking it easy but I hope to start getting some house chores done.

I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

[pixiedust012404]

Lol yeah it's gonna be pretty crazy trying to deal with pregnancy, school, and work

[mythreesons]

I just noticed that we are both March babies ourselves. I am officially due on March 12th but I will be having a c-section the week before (possibly on my birthday, the 6th).

Are you going to find out the sex of the baby? I was debating it but with three boys I need to know if I need to get new things or not. My 20 week u/s is scheduled for Oct 28th. It seems so far away!

I am glad you are feeling better. I will talk to you again soon!

[pixiedust012404]

I'm sorry it takes me awhile to write back, I always forget to look here lol.

I for sure will be finding out the sex of the baby! I'm going crazy not knowing yet! My ultrasound should be somewhere around the same time as yours, but I won't know for sure when it'll be until my next appt which is Oct 4th.

[mythreesons]

How are things going? I have started feeling mini baby kicks...it is pretty cool. However, it is nothing consistent. How about you? Anything yet?

I am starting to feel better. I want to start working out and eating healthier. In the first tri I had no energy and was not very excited about food. Now that I feel better, I want to get back int he groove.

What are you going to school for? Is your job related to your education?

I hope things are not too crazy for you.

[pixiedust012404]

I think maybe I have, but I mostly think it's gas. I usually feel in it the same place in my stomache, around the same time of day, every other day or so, but I usually have some gas a little after so who knows! I want to feel it for sure so bad!

I am so glad your feeling better! I'm doing a little better, only getting sick every couple of days, so that's good.

I'm going to school for Early Childhood Education, with an ultimate goal of owning my own daycare someday. It really has nothing to do with my work, tho I always joke around that my job is preparing me for taking of multiple young children. I supervise over about 25 employees at a plastic injection molding company. The people on my shift range from age 18 to early 40ish but sometimes I feel that my 4 year old nieces are more mature than my employees lol.

[mythreesons]

How did your appointment go on the fourth? Is the little one doing well? Are you hoping for a certain sex with this baby?

I am doing well...enjoying have some energy finally. I am trying to get some stuff done around the house while I can. With my youngest in preschool it gives me a few hours to myself a week to get some chores done.

I hope you are doing well!

[pixiedust012404]

My appt went great, LO is doing fabulous. HB was 150bpm and doc said i'm measuring well even though I've gained quite a bit. We scheduled our u/s, it'll be Oct 26. DH is leaning slightly more towards boy, I'm sometimes leaning more towards girl but I know we'll be happy either way! Because of our losses, we are just hoping for healthy baby, kwim?

Are you hoping for another boy, or do you want a girl??

[pixiedust012404]

The first 3 were all ectopic & I ended up losing one of my tubes after the 2nd. We thought we were going to have to turn to IVF since I had an ectopic in my other tube, but the doctor told us to try one more time naturally. We did, and the day after I got my BFP, we miscarried. That was hard but we were a bit more hopeful since I was obviously able to drop an egg through my tube dispite the previous ectopic. That was about 3 weeks before our wedding so we put off trying, though we weren't preventing either, and 2 weeks after we got married I still hadn't a period aside from the miscarriage so I took a test and low & behold I was pregnant and apparently this one decided to stick!

[mythreesons]

Do you mind me asking, what happened with your other little ones? Were they all miscarriages earlier in your pregnancy?

I am so glad this little one is doing so well for you! Only a few more days until the big reveal!

There is a small part of me that wants a girl but for the most part, I am fine either way. When I was pg with DS#3, I wanted a girl so bad. I was almost obsessed with the idea. When I found out he was a boy, I was almost heartbroken. In time, I came to terms with having a third boy and he is such a sweet little boy. This time I am not so obssesed.

Good luck on Wednesday...I can not wait for the update.

[mythreesons]

I can not believe how much you have gone through! That must have been so hard! I am so happy that you finally have a BFP that decided to stick and I even more excited to be able to share it with you! It will be one of the best birthday presents you have ever had!

[mythreesons]

Hi! Thinking of you today! Can't wait for an update on your little one!

[pixiedust012404]

It has definitely been a long, hard road! But it makes us appreciate this little girl sooooo much more. In fact I feel like that people around us, who know what we've gone through even appreciate her more because of it.

So are the boys excited to be having another brother?? Do you have any names picked out??

[mythreesons]

Congrats on your little girl!

The boys are thrilled with having another little brother! As for names, we are having a tough time b/c we have already used our top names! I have given DH a few options and he keeps vetoing them. I know we will come up with something.

Hope you are doing well still!

[mythreesons]

Hi Mistie! Just popping in to see how you are doing. Is your little one moving around yet? I have felt this little guy quite often. DH has still not felt him but all of my boys were that way, as soon as Daddy put his hand on my belly, they would stop moving (I like to think he is soothing them). I can not believe we are already more than halfway through this pregnancy and with the craziness of Thanksgiving and Christmas it will be 2012 before we know it.

Hope you are doing well and that your pregnancy is going well!

[pixiedust012404]

Hi! Yes, everything is going well on my side! Oh yes, she moves all over the place now!! DH has felt her a few times but most of the time she stops as soon as his hands touch my belly! He still finds it kind of weird though lol. One of my neices got to feel her too.

I feel like the second half of this pregnancy is flying by! I can't believe that next week is Thanksgiving!

[mythreesons]

Almost under 100 days until our due date. Although, I have my c-section scheduled for the week before. I can not believe it is so close. Once Christmas is over the time will fly.

Have you started getting things together yet? Do you know if you are having a baby shower? Have you decided how to set up her nursery?

I hope you are still feeling well and that work isn't driving you too crazy!

[pixiedust012404]

I know, it seems as though this part of the pregnancy has completely flown by!

We have bought the crib/changing table/dresser but none of it is set up yet. My mom bought us our stroller & car seat (I am not supposed to know yet tho....but it's in our garage and DH was supposed to put it in the attic....he moved it when he was doing something and never completely covered it back up and I saw the box lol) and lots of people have bought some outfits. Everything else is waiting till after the baby showers. I'll have 2, one with family & friends & 1 that a coworker is throwing me. Oh and I bought the crib set!

DH started painting the nursery. Her crib set is light blue with pink owls in a tree & different colored flowers & grass so we are doing her ceiling baby yellow and her walls baby green! After it's painted he'll get the crib & stuff set up!

How about you? Are you getting anything yet, or having a baby shower? Anything set-up yet for him?

Hope all is well with you!!
