Hi all,

Hope everything is fine with you all future moms!

We had the 20-w U.S. and everything indicated a normal developed baby boy! Just a information about my morning sickness, this stays as only morning sickness now, the rest of the time is fine. My stomach acid starts to bother me and very soon I will be on medication for that also.

Again, pg is a long process we just have to hang in there! Good luck everyone!

We had our level II u/s today and everything looked great!! They took me off of bed rest and said I could go back to normal activity! I am so excited! Also we found out that we are having a boy and a girl instead of 2 boys! We are so happy and to tell you the truth I didn't care I just want healthy babies. Now I am going to have to shift my thinking to a girl instead of boys!

Hi all-

Crogers and Children congrats on the news. How exciting. I love that we found out and are able to start to pick things out. We even decided on names and the color of the room already. I know it was like over night but I think we knew but were holding it in to be sure. Does that make sense?

Anyways I am 18 wks now and for the 1st time I felt a little something in side. As least I think I did. I dont kow what it is I am supposed to feel but it felt like movement not kicks but more like a ball on the inside of your hand.... like a rubbing feeling or a moving. It was weird. I did not tell DH yet as I did not want to get him excited cuz I knew he would be mad that he cant feel it.

It has been a while since I have posted but I have been reading everyday. I just didnt have much to say so I wanted to wait to have something to talk about. I can say that I am HUGE. I have gained bout 15 pounds now. I think thats to much but everyone says it happens on the 1st. I have a Dr. appt on the 25th so well see what the OB says. Then on the 29th we see the perni again. They have me seeing both the OB and the perni every four weeks. Which is a lot but I am not acomlaining as I get to see the boys a lot. And this time we have a new perni as the 1st one sucked!!!!!! I hated him. So I changed right away and the new one said for sure I can have the 3d video.

Well I am at work so I better go. Best wishes to eveyone

IT'S A GIRL!!!!

We got a real good money shot, legs spread and butt right in the face!! Everything looks good. She was too active to get any measurements, but she was huge compared to my 12.5 week scan. They looked at my cervix and took some measurements since I was having some pressure down there and everything is good. The other sac is real, real small now and everything looked good with that, she didnt think there was anything to worry about with that. So all went well!! Such a relief!!!

Children- Glad all went well and your little boy is looking good!

Crogers- WOW B/G!! How awesome!!!

Genn- I am thirlled that your little boys are doing well and you are feeling good. When I first started feeling movements, they would only last about 3 sec and it would feel like bubbles. I felt a bunch last night for about 7 mins and it felt like someone was blowing on my lower belly.
I am glad you changed and got a new Dr. There is nothing worse than not liking your Dr.

Well, I better get back to work. I hope all is well with everyone and the babies.

Genessa-so glad to hear your boys are doing awesome. I'm also awaiting that actual confirmation I have really felt some movement!

Dakota-CONGRATS! on your girl! So glad to know all is going well inside, and you do not have to worry about your sac. Did the dr. say you would just absorb it? Do you already know her name, or are you waiting? Are you going to tell all of your family and friends? I can't wait til a week from tomorrow to join in this gender news!! :)

Uuhh, I am SO tired today, I can barely function.

Ftg-Yes, they seem to think that the baby and I both will finish absorbing it. Their guess is it wont be there much longer, but sometimes it can remain. It seems its different with everyone.
I made all the calls yesterday, it was so much fun, well except for the few "oh, we wanted a boy". Well, I just want a healthy baby!!!! I bought my first outfits yesterday!!!! I went to The Gap to get a pair of jeans and the new store, the sneaky marketing group put the maternity room right behind the baby section. SO I bought some clearance outfits, 3-6 months for next summer. SO CUTE!! I think we are going with Gracie, what do ya think?
Well, one more week and you'll be celebrating pink or blue!!!

Hope all is well with everyone and babies are growing.

This is so exciting!!!!!! I can't believe everyone is finding out what sex the baby is,

Congrats to you Children on your boy! and to Crogers on it being a B/G - now you get the best of both worlds!
Congrats to Dakota on your girl - and on your first outfit too yay! congrats to Tara on your girl as well! That's amazing the first in 25 years, man is she going to be spoilt!!

So it looks like ftg is next, then neffi, and then hopefully me!! Yay!

We are off tomorrow on the cruise. I was freaking out after reading all about incompetent cervix's, so went to the OB on Thursday to ask for them to check me out! They said they wouldn't unless I was having any signs of a problem, as otherwise a lot of women would be told they had to go on bedrest or get a cerclage unnecessarily. It sounded like they knew what they were talking about - have any of you been checked - Dakota, I see that they looked with you after the pressure you were feeling - did they measure it? We just had an ultrasound to see the babies,and he said all looked fine. They were sleeping head to head!

Take care all, and hope all is well with everyone's babies, :D

Tara, yeah!!! Looks like lots of girls on this board so far!!!! Wow, 25 years!!

Jude, yes, they measured the cervix via u/s and said all was well. It turns out the pressure is from little Gracie likes to hang out down in my pelvic sometimes and that is what I am feeling.

I have been havign some weird tightness going on. I dont know if its movement or Braxtin Hicks. My lower, lower belly (right above the hair line) gets real tight and bunches together into a hard ball for just a few secs then it releases. I have felt this 3 times now in the last week and its only at night when I am laying flat and it only does it once. Anyone have any ideas? My book says that you can start feeling braxtin hicks as early as 20 weeks, but they can start alot sooner. It is definatley a weird feeling!!!

Hope all is well with everyone! Can wait for all the gender's to start coming in...how exciting!!!!

Oh, and I registered!!!! Yeah!!!!

Hi everyone!
My hubby and I took our last vacation to Disney for awhile!!! It was a blast!

I also switched dr's. I LOVE my new dr.!!!! I've already had my first ultrasound with him! I go for my level II ultrasound in a week! Time sure is going by quickly!!! Anyone else feel the same way?????

It's GIRL!!!!!!

We found out 100% the day before we left for vacation! This baby has been so uncooperative when it comes to finding out what it was! Legs we ALWAYS crossed tightly at the ankles! But not this last time...we also go the "money shot". I go in for my 2nd try at the amnio tonight. The 1st time she pushed all the fluid below her so the needle couldn't get to it. So tonight is the night. I'm not too worried just want to know 100% that she's ok.

CONGRATULATIONS to everyone who has found out what they are having! It takes on a whole new level of excitement now! :D

DAKOTA- I love the name Grace/Gracie!

All for now....LUNCH TIME!!!! I can't seem to get enough food right now!!!
ER- 5/21 ET- 5/24
