JAN.14th 2008

Hi everyone,I am almost 17 weeks, hoping to have an ultrasound soon, think I want to find out what I am having! If I get another one:) My yougest daughter turns 3 tommorow! Shes still breastfeeding and I hope she takes the new baby well when it comes! Is there anyone out there, 16, 17 weeks? If so message me, i was on a emotional rollar coster, now, just a lil bitchy! Besides that and tiredness sometimes, I really dont feel so pregnant, It has not set in yet, still kinda in denial! I am not showing yet, went out and bought new pants to wear out this weekend with the girls, and still fitting in size 3!!yahhhh, was surprized cause even know I am not showing I still feel not so sexy and I a bit bigger. I think, lol! well all else is well! I cannot see my doc. till feb 27th, and I have not seen him since 10 wks pregnant. boooo ,seeing him is impossible, So I am really upset, i woul dlove to know things are ok, I am not showing and would feel real releaved, espically, since I have no tests done yet, Doctors here in this city are so hard to get appointments with:( ANy ideas on how I can get an ultrasound to make sure all is well,andy coments would be appreciated!

Jan 21st 2008

Hi all, well still not really showing yet, even know I feel fat in some tght clothes, :((((( I think its all in my head, maybe lil baby! I called back my doctors office last week asking if there was any way I could get in b4 feb 27th, that I have not had any tests done yet at all, none not even the mandotory 12 weeks ones, Well the best they could do was Feb 4th, which is great for them, but still a liong way away, espically when ur so anxcious to see/ hear baby and knwo everything is ok! Its about hte only time u get excited to go to the doctors!

Well today I went to doctor at urgent care and took my daugther in, as for she had toncilitious,and decided to ask about getting some tests done, and hopefully any sort of baby appointment to know everyhting is ok! And I was told to get them done or ask about it at urgent care in the meantime if i was worried or flet i should have tets done b 4 feb 4 th when i can see my doc. Surprised to find out he offered to see me in his office wed morn for an appointment and possibly u/s! And to get my first appointment done with, and blood work done, so I am happy and excited, accept hes joined to my doc,a nd I hope he doesn take offence:( I am expierincing a lil pain like pressure down low as if u woul dhave at 9 onths after baby has dropped and i cant figure out why! I told him that and about the streaks of blood, so he mentioned u/s, I figured since I have not had one except for dating at 10 weekd I would have one regardless of pain or not? It would be nice I had lik e11 with my last! well goodluck too all and I will keep u posted on how things go at appointment, wish me luck!

Finally they called me in just after 10:45am, and It was the first time I had a man do an u/s, which was fine, I found out that from what he can see it is healthy, and he called my hubby/ and daughter (shes just 3) in the room they showed us all the body parts,a nd the cute lil toes, lol, and we heard the hert beat and he siad at 20 weeks he would be able to get more acurate readings, so hopefully I get to go back! To the exciting part he said he checked 2 times and he see's something and he is thinkng A BOY but dont go buy blue he says! I was like ok,when he showed us everthing ihe said look, heres the baby's bladder...and here is the what makes me beleive its a boy and u could see something sticking out of that area, and hes like npt sure what else it would be besides boy parts. So I am pretty confindent its aboy, but ya never know!!!!!! It clearly wasnt the embilical cord or hands, they were above the head, and the legs were down sorta open ,a nd feet on top of each other!

Madame Zaritska, our resident clairvoyant, wants to help you prepare for the arrival of your child. Here she does her best to predict certain aspects of your labor and birth experience.

What she senses for you
The day you deliver, outside will be windy. Your baby will arrive in the early evening.

After a labor lasting approximately 9 hours, your child, a boy, will be born. Your baby will weigh about 6 pounds, 8 ounces, and will be 19-1/2 inches long. This child will have light blue eyes and a little patch of brown hair.

But there is more. I sense that you are feeling some stress. This is very normal. However, I would like to suggest that you try some of these methods to pamper yourself a bit.
