Cynthia: I could see both of them, but have a FB account (which, by the way, I sent you an add- you'll be able to see my bump as soon as I can get my lazy butt motivated!).

You are too cute!!!!!

Cynthia - Your pics are so cute! I was able to see them on facebook, and I also sent you a friend request.

I'll try to post some new pics of me, but I also have to get motivated. Everything with me has been quiet for once. I'm really enjoying it.

If anyone else wants to add me to facebook, here's the link...

I am SOOO tired today. I thought I was done with this fatigue stuff (at least until the babies get here :) ) I've felt drained for the past few days. I also feel "full" all the time. Like how you feel when you've eaten too much. And my belly feels extra stretched. It's putting me in an irritable mode and all I want to do is go home to sleep!

Anyway, hope you ladies are having a better day :D Any appointments coming up? I have another ultrasound on Thursday. I was suppose to get the triple screen but at my last visit the doc told me that with the bleeding going on there is a chance that it could skew the results of the test, making it appear that the babies are at risk for certain diseases when they aren't. I'm to decide whether to move forward with the test on Thursday. Right now I'm thinking I won't do it.

I feel you Cynthia~ but today, for some strange reason, I had some spotting when I urinated, then had a BM........ weird. Of course I cried and am just so angry that I just can't get to a point where I can enjoy this freakin' pregnancy.

Cynthia - I've been really tired too. By the time I get home from work, all I want to do is sleep. My stomach also feels stretched but also feels like I have growing pains sometimes. I wouldn't describe it as cramps.

Ian - I noticed on your FB page your hometown is seymour. I use to spend many summers at Camp Lakeview as a camper and one summer as a counselor.

Hi Ladies!!!!

Long time no talk, had a very stressful week. My job is crazy I have no time to blog or anything.


cymplicity27- your baby bump is sooo cute and definetely there. You and your hubby (is that your dh?) look so happy :) I'm not that tired anymore it sort of went away this past week, but sometimes still i find myself napping for 1hr or so. I have my obgyn appt this thursday but only for doppler h/b and check up no u/s.

aims327- i hope everything is good with you, i hope to see your bump soon!. My bump grew bigger but i didnt have time to take any pictures since last time.

I hope everyone else is doing good.

Well good news from me. i went for my NT scan earlier this week and got my results and 99.99% that the baby has no down syndrome or tri18 my odds were calculated at 1/6500 yes 6500 !!! so, no need to do any other tests. I'm attaching a picture from the nt scan isnt the baby a cutie lol? i love this shot, it looks like its smiling lol anyway the baby was measuring little ahead at 13w6d.

Ok g2g

Awwww! dys24 that is too cute! It does appear to be smiling :D . I have a pic of Baby A that appears to be smiling and it's my favorite u/s pic. Those are awesome results! One less thing for you to have to worry about.

aims, I have those same growing pains. I know exactly what you're describing. You think it's the round ligaments pain I read so much about?

Nicole, sorry your spotting returned. I haven't seen any in about a week (knock on wood). Instead of being relieved, I'm bracing myself for another ugly episode!

Cymplicity - I think the growing pains are the round ligament pains we've read about.

Nicole - Are you going to your doctor since the spotting returned? Which location do you usually go to? I usually have to go to Dupont or Parkview North.

Dys - I will try really hard to post a bump picture of me tonight. By the time I get home, I just want to sleep. I don't sleep very well at night. I need to get a better pregnancy pillow. Lately, I'm only comfortable in the recliner. Your u/s pic is very cute and the baby definitely looks likes he/she is smiling. I have to wait until July 14 for my next u/s. I have a OB checkup on June 30th.

Well, I'm at work so need to go. Have a good day everyone!

aims: HA! No WAY!!! :) I grew up there- 18 years............. wow, that's too funny!

the pics are too cute of baby smiling :) I've GOT to get on the ball and post some!

No spotting since yesterday- according to the nurse, I too think it was from BM in my colon irritating my cervix. WHO KNEW. It is so bizarre.

Here's smiling Baby A. I'm not sure what that is coming out of his/her mouth...not sure if I want to know :lol: That's his leg kicking up to Baby B as usual.

amy, I'm also most comfy in my recliner! I'm pretty much stuck to it all day. Out of the 3 pillows I've gotten, the wedge pillow seems to work the best. The problem I'm having is I start out laying on my left side and then I eventually wake up on my back. How bad is it to sleep on your back? I think I've read that it wasn't good to do so but sometimes it's the most comfy for me. I hear that the babies won't allow it once they start moving because I'll feel the kicks more on my back.

I feel fine in my desk chair (it has extra padding at my lower back) but when I started walking across campus today my lower back started hurting. I think I may get one of those pregnancy bands from Target tonight to help with the round ligament pain and back pain. The Mini Cradle had pretty good reviews.

Cynthia - I've heard it's not good to sleep on your back too. My sister-in-law, who is a nurse, told me it's more of an issue later on in pregnancy. I fall asleep on my side. Then my hip and lower back start to hurt. So, I have to slowly roll over to my other side. Your u/s pic is so cute!

dys - I have a body pillow but I stopped using it a couple weeks ago since it was getting uncomfortable.

Nicole - I'm so glad the spotting spotted.
