Winter Cycle Friends 2009/2010 - Everyone Welcome!

Helene – I am so glad that your first session of sign language went well!!! The garage sale sounds like a great idea. I think my DH and I need to have one also.

Stephanie – I love the name for your daughter. Here are the two names I thought of if my baby is a girl: Angelina (great minds think alike) and Gabriella. If it’s a boy, we will name him after my DH.

Katie – I have just one question for you ... why are you mowing the lawn??? You are pregnant ... I hope it is a riding mower!!! Please be careful ... this weather can make you so dehydrated so quickly and its worse when you are pregnant.

Gi – How are things going for you? According to your ticker, you are 16 weeks this week, have you scheduled your anatomy u/s yet?

Claudia – Good luck with your doctor’s appointment tomorrow ... I can’t wait to hear the results!

Babyluv – I hope you are doing well. I look forward to hearing more stories about your DD and DS involving your pregnancy. I think it is so precious!

Natakia – I hope all is well with you!

Karen – How was your vacation or you might still be on it? I forgot how long you said you would be gone.

Hazel – So your dad is having his biopsy on Friday ... I am praying for good news!

Your due date is only 3 days past my birthday ... that is so exciting!

Sara – I hope you are enjoying your time off for the summer!

Dodo – I hope you are doing well.

AFM – Well, I am doing pretty well today. Once again, I am so very happy to be home from work. I had someone riding w/ me today so that usually makes for a stressful day but it turned out ok. I am looking forward to the weekend once again ... I think I am going to wish this entire pregnancy away because I am constantly praying for the weekend so I can get some rest ... lol!

Hello Natasha - I am so glad to see you on the other side ... lol! Since you are off from work, you can chat with the wonderful ladies on this website!

As for me, I don't seem to have a lot of free time ... my job keeps me pretty busy. I could work 24/7 if I am not careful. But, I will be very, very mindful not to overdo it during this pregnancy. I have already told my job and co-workers that I can't do a lot of the late night dinners with our physicians that we normally do and they were fine with it.

How are you feeling? Any updates as far as u/s & due date yet?

Angela

[natasha10]

angela,
dont work too hard or get too tired. im so anxious to my u/s but as for now i havent even schelduled one yet. as so far i have another appt on the 7th for blood to check my hormones then i'll schedule an u/s. im excited i want to know how many already and my due date. but i guess the whole prenancy is a waiting game its just begun. im glad GI invited me here to the great side of pregnancy with you all otherwise i would have never notice this topic.

steph - wow you got your DD into signing too that is great. I never though of the alphabet but it's something I can look for for sure. I wish we had cute shows like you mentionned would be really helpful indeed.

Once you start getting things organized you will feel better I am sure... but nesting is most certainly what you are experiencing I think...

AFM - (boring story you really don't need to read it I am only wenting)

my mother is still being a *** she called all day yesterday, thanks I forgot my phone and didn't get to speak to her until I got home. She was calling me to give me crap cause when her and a friend of us worked on the house to get it ready for sale in Dec-Jan, after we sold it I sent them money to thank them for their help. I sent them the same amount of money even though my mom did more work, I mean she is my mom and I though she would not even want me to pay her anyways she always says I don't want anything and always refuses etc. Well anyways she was furios that I send both the same amount of money can you believe it?? Then she souts she doesn't want me to send her more money whatever... anyways I hung up and she called again and I just didn't pick it up!!! Boy oh boy!!! When will she grow up!!! Thank God I don't drink!!!

Helene - Baby Gaga isn't a show, it's a site. Some of us get our tickers there. However, I was wrong, it isn't baby gaga it's baby astrology. lol Here is the link. It might be fun to show your little ones so they can learn simple sign for baby at home. http://babystrology.com/baby-learning/b ... -language/

ps. Sorry for your trouble with your mom. Go ahead and vent, we are all here to listen.

[Arabsrcool]

Angela,

Glad to hear the doc's are keeping an eye on you, even if they cannot agree. Glad to hear everything is going ok.

Mayla,

My heart is breaking for you. I cried and cried when I read your post. Take time to heal and you know we will all be here for you.

Steph,

a BOY and a GIRL! Hurray. that is great!

Katie,

I am so glad you felt movement, that is very reassuring. Take it easy mowing and painting. Yes, you can break it down into as many little increments as you need to!

Helene,

glad to hear the first signing lesson went well and your family pic is finally done!

afm, been horribly sick since last week. My family doc is gone all week, went to urgent care center on Tuesday, they wouldn't prescribe anything to me b/c I am pg. Finally got done playing phone tag with nurses at OB's and they called in something. I hope it helps soon, I feel like death warmed over. I have missed alot of work this week and trying to suck it up and make it all day today.

Oh dear I am so sorry you are feeling so sick... do you know if it's just nausea or something else... can you keep anything down?? You poor thing... I am sure those sickness will be over soon... I hope you can sleep it out?

Helene (((HUGS)))

[lycase]

Girls guess what this is?

[angelaezra]

Ronda – I am so sorry you have been so sick lately. I am glad they finally were able to prescribe something for you. Do you have a cold or is it m/s?

Helene – Oh, don’t worry about venting ... I don’t mind hearing about it. You have to let it out somewhere right? I am sorry your mother is stressing you out. I think you did the right thing by just letting her cool down and talk to her later about it. At least, you were being considerate and provided some form of payment ... that was very nice of you!

I am looking at your picture that you posted and I am not sure but ... they look like some type of burgers??? Please let us know ... I am curious!

Stephanie – How are you feeling today? Your ticker says 18 weeks ... whoo hoo!

Katie – I hope you are taking it easy today and you are not mowing the lawn!

Gi – I hope you are doing well today!

Claudia – How has it been working with the kids and their excitement regarding your pregnancy?

Babyluv – I hope you and the babies are doing well!

Natasha – So have you found something to keep you busy throughout the day ... I say just sit back and enjoy it. If you don’t mind me asking, what was your occupation before that you had to lift more than 10 pounds?

Karen – I hope your vacation is going well. We are going to plan a week getaway soon!

Hazel – I think you said tomorrow is the big day for your dad’s biopsy. I am wishing him good luck! I hope you are taking good care of yourself and your precious baby on board!

Sara – I hope you are enjoying your summer off from work!

Dodo – I hope you are doing well. Has the pregnancy sunk in yet?

AFM – I am anxiously awaiting my next u/s w/ my RE on Monday. I have read that if it’s a boy by then we might be able to see. I know it is really early but I can always hope right? The positive thing about the weekly u/s is that we will find out the sex of our baby pretty early!

HI girls,

Katie i am so excited you have felt your baby move and maybe a little bit jealous ....i know i am still early but hey i can always hope and dream!! Take it easy doing the garden but i am sure you will. Can you believe you are just half way there time is flying by.

Natasha Glad to see you have moved over I always read these boards and kept praying for the day i could finally join its super exciting isnt it. After your next beta you may get working on that ticker! I am also off for the full pregnancy and spend my time visiting my mams house which is always very busy! and i have a friend who just had a baby so i visit her every 2 wks other than that i read a lot and relax i know sounds boring but i knew it was going to be this way and i am prepared to do as little as possible if it means a healthy pregnancy. You will be grand, i have to admit i am enjoying been a lady of leisure for the 1st time

Ronda so sorry you still feeling awful it looks like it here to stay for quite a while and with working and 2 other children how do you do it??

Helene dont worry about your mam sounds like she wouldnt have been happy either way, what was that picture~?

Steph those names are lovely i agree with twins you never know what happens so best be prepared early. I hope they can tell us the sex next wk not that we mind what it is.

Angela i am glad you can take it easier at work and your colleagues are supportive. I wont get my anatomy scan till after my 17 wk scan but i think it will be done at 20 wks. Monday will be here soon enough it must be a relief to you to be watched so carefully.

AFM so weaning myself off the progesterone suppositories i am down to one a day till next tues then finished which i am glad of not that i mind them but (tmi) i get a fright everytime i feel a "leak" and rush to the bathroom only it to be the crinone my nerves do be shot everytime!!!

Natasha - That is great … I am a RN also! Are you going for an associate or bachelors degree nurse? Do you have a timeframe for when you will be done?

Angela

[Stephanieford78]

Gi - Glad you are almost done with the suppositories. I know what you mean about leaking. Apparently it is normal to have some extra discharge during the 2nd trimester and on? Well, (tmi) I have experienced this. Not a lot but enough at times to run out a bit and I think blood right away thanks to the SCH. Not fun. I haven't really had an issue since the 17 week mark but still. lol I hope you get to know the gender at your scan. Do you have a feeling of one or the other?

Angela - I am feeling ok today. We went to the lake today, it's DD birthday. She is 11. There was an FRG (Family Readiness Group) BBQ there so that's what we did for her birthday. Though once I got there I was asked to help so I did. I hadn't eaten all day when I got there and helping prepare all the food, I was starving as I watched everyone else eat it. lol 18 weeks today, yes! Wish these babies would start becoming more active already. Still just a few pokes and prods here and there. I hope you get to find out what gender you have cooking in there soon!

Helene - My guess is that is play doh burgers. lol
