IT'S A BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

20 week update -

We have our U/S appointment this Friday on the 8th - I cant wait to find out the sex of the baby!!!!! I had a dream last night that we were at the appointment and it was a boy, which is what I've thought all along! I've been feeling him moving around more and more which has been a strange sensation to say the least. My hubby got to feel him for the first time saturday night which was great!!!

I'll update again Friday after we find out the sex for sure!

18 week update -

I feel like I've gotten huge in the last few weeks which would make sense why all of my pre-pregnancy t-shirts are fitting a little more snug! I'm discovering just how important posture is the bigger I get - the more I slouch, the more uncomfortable I feel - ugh! We have an appointment with our midwife on wednesday at 3 - get to hear the HB again - wahoo! Unfortunately have to give blood as well which I could personally do without. Part of me is glad they warned me about it last time, but the other part of me wishes they woulda just surprised me with it. I've thought about the fact that I have to give blood at this appointment every darn day since my LAST appointment... guess I better get used to this needle thing!!! I've felt the baby move twice - once over a week ago and once last friday. Felt like a faint thump in there - not like gas bubbles or a flutter.... everyone is different though! We cant wait until our U/S on the 8th - my mom is flying out from Florida for 3 whole days to be there for it. My husbands mother will be there as well. Initially we were going to have the tech write down the sex for us and my hubby and I were going to open it in private later. We decided that since BOTH grandma's will be there, that we'd just have the tech announce the sex there. My husbands mom was at the 13 week U/S so I cant wait for my mom to be at this one. There's something magical in seeing your baby up on that screen moving around and hearing that HB! It's an amazing experience!!!

Intro....

Hey All - I'm new to the site. My husband and I are due June 23rd with our first baby. We'd been trying to get pregnant since May of 07 and FINALLY got a positive test October 16th! My periods had been irregular since getting off BC but had started to slightly regulate in September. I thought I was due sometime between Thursday and Saturday and had been cramping really bad like I was going to start. I had some VERY light spotting Friday which was a good indicator to me that it was coming. By tuesday I still hadnt gotten it so my manager convinced me I needed to take a test THAT night. I had my hubby make an emergency walmart run at lunch to get a test which he was reluctant to do because we'd taken a few prior withOUT the positive result we were hoping for. That night when he got home, I was already in the bathroom peeing into a cup so I could take the test RIGHT AWAY! I dipped the stick and put it on the counter and we both hovered over it waiting for those 2 pink lines! The first line showed up right away and the second showed up a few seconds later - very faintly! I immediately FREAKED out and started balling like a mad woman! We hugged and were in sheer amazement at FINALLY seeing a positive test! WAHOO!

My pregnancy has been relatively problem free. Had some nausea from weeks 5ish thru 7ish but never actually tossed my cookies. I've been moody like the dickens - my poor husband! Thanksgiving week was especially bad but we managed to get through it! Its hard to explain what goes through your mind when your pregnant and full of hormones until you've been through it! I've experienced doubt and fear and excitement - it's been a whirlwind of emotions that's for sure! My husband has been overly anal about EVERYTHING from what I eat to what cleaning products I'm using around the house! He has decided we needed to switch to all natural cleaning products (oh how I miss Clorox clean up!) and organic fruits and veggies. At least he cares I suppose, although sometimes it gets old!

Anyway - onward and upward. June will be here before we know it and we'll be parents to a new baby... boy I'm guessing. We find out for sure Feb 8th at 1pm to be exact!

Best of luck to all the ladies!!

I wanted to make sure you got this link since I know you use these bottles...

http://www.gerber.com/content/usa/email/promos/nuk/rebate-form.pdf

Ill write more in a little bit...

PS- OH I forgot about the diapers... I was able to exchange that pack of generic diapers in the size 1's I told you about... but the store didnt sell pampers and they were out of huggies in size 1's... so I had to switch them for Luvs, which you know I already had a package of Luvs size 1's. Anyway I got them since I was sure they would at least be better than the generic ones so I got home and tried one just to see... well so far so good. It was a bit big so I had to wrap the straps, and it feels thin, but no leaks from that one at least. Ill keep the 2 packs I have and maybe try a pack of pampers to see which are really better. The Luvs are cheaper but I have so many diaper coupons that people have clipped for me that Im sure I can get Pampers or Huggies for all the same price. They supposedly fit until 14 lbs so they should be in size 1's for a while!!!

Well we didnt try it again last night... he was tired so I dodged it. Honestly I think hes scared it will hurt again... but Im sure he'll come knocking again soon enough. Bry did fine at his grandmas today LOL of course she held him the whole time he probably loved it!! We went 5 hours again last night so this is getting good. That only puts me getting up once. Ive been trying to pump today super often to try to rebuild my milk supply. I was really worried yesterday. Oh well I had knocked him down to about 3 ozs per feeding because of him spitting up, but he acts like he wants more afterward... but if I put his paci in his mouth he seems content so probably 3 ozs is enough but I am wondering if I should try to gradually increase it to try to get him to go longer in between. He goes to the Dr Friday for his 2 month check up so these are all questions I need to ask. I dread that visit he gets like 4 shots!! He going to be so mad and Im sure Ill bawl because they hurt him. Poor little guy!! Is Tyler still sleeping all night?? Thats so awesome...

heathersprk - Monday, 11 August
PS- I didnt know it was your birthday!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yeah if it were me I would have asked for sleep for my b-day too!!!

heathersprk - Monday, 11 August
I dont know why I cant just pee on a stick for the pregnancy test... it super bothers me but I suppose there is nothing I can do about it. YEAH it burned when we had sex too!! We were a lot the same... we tried with a condom and it did hurt but not as bad but he didnt like it, then we decided to just pull out but it hurt either way to me. We are supposed to try again tnite wahoo (sarcasim) we will see. If its still hurting when I go back for the IUD Ill mention it. I still havent had my period... supposedly it takes longer to come back when you breast feed but the midwife told me I could still ovulate?? I dont understand but oh well. Wouldnt I just die if I was preggo again!! I swear I would die! I looked up the baby wise book and I think I will order it but he did go 5 hour stretches again last night... thats a good sign maybe we are getting there. 5 hours at a time at night isnt too bad for now, it means just one wake up. Although he has slept alot today so I fear he may wake up a lot tnite... ok you know how we were out so late the other night?? ANd I couldnt pump for a long time?? Well could not pumping that one day have made a difference in my milk supply?? Yesterday and today I havent been getting as much!! Ive had to used stored milk for the first time just to keep him fed!! Im worried now. Its all Russ's fault I swear! Okay well gotta go. I have to go to a meeting at Brentons school tomorrow so Bry is going to Russ's moms for her to watch him!! AGHHHH the first time leaving him!!! I hate it!!

colleen - Saturday, 9 August
Maybe your hubby could look at it? Was it like an extra piece just flapping in the breeze from where they cut you? I'm not sure I understand either... that's the ONLY good thing about having a c section! I started going back to the gym-went Thursday night and just got back now. God, it's so awesome to get away and not worry about anything for an hour! If you don't have a gym membership, I suggest you get one or join the Y!! It's like mental therapy! I feel sooo good afterwards!

heathersprk - Saturday, 9 August
Good grief, how could it have healed funny. Did you try to get your hubby to look?? If he cant notice and sex doesnt hurt I would totally not worry about it, I wouldnt get snipped unless it was 100% necessary. Sheesh isnt it always something. I think the only reason it hurt for me was like you said, its been a while after a few times it will probably be fine. Anyway the bloodwork is for a pregnancy test isnt that nuts?? Apparently though they wont do the IUD without being 100% sure. Bry loves his vibrator but he does like to be swaddled too I just keep trying whatever until hes content. Thats awesome he slept that long!!! Ive had lots of people tell me their abbies started sleeping through the night at 7-8 weeks. Bry is definately not one of them though. Thats interesting about the warm milk. Mostly we do feed him his milk room temp but I have often wondered if making it warmer would help... you know, soon as you get it figured out though they change!! So Im going to buy a new pump today... I have one but its only a single one cause when I bought it I had no idea that I would end up pumping so much. It takes me forever with this one... hubby kept saying get a new one, but I am weary to spend more money if we will be phasing out breast feeding soon... but if Im still making enough milk I guess I have no real good excuse to switch to formula. Maybe a better pump will make things go smoother then I can keep pumping for longer. I dont know but Ive got to do something. This isnt working. OK about the boobs, to be honest its bad news. My boobs were prefect before I had Brenton, after I breast fed him I made more milk in the left one and they remained uneven ever afterwards. This time Im in for the same fate. In my left boob I can pump about an ounce for every hour, in my right boob only about an ounce ofr every 3 hours so I suppose they will remain uneven. I see a boob job in my future for sure. So, Im so mad at my hubby today, Im barely speaking to him. Tell me if Im over reacting... He made a new friend a few weeks ago. Its his new man crush LOL. Anyway he wanted us to go to their house for dinner last night. We went about 6pm we had his kids and Brenton and the baby too. I hate to eat and run BUT we do have a newborn and we were an hour from home and I was exhausted from lack of sleep the night before AND I didnt know these people afterall and you know how exhausting it is making conversation with people you dont know. I wanted to leave about 9pm. That would have put us home by 10. Im just starting to get Bry on a decent sleeping schedule. Well Russ didnt want to he ran his mouth on and on and on until 11:30 pm!! Then we had an hour drive home! All the kids were so tired they were so cranky... Bry was super fussy and wouldnt sleep or eat. Plus I hadnt pumped in like 8 hours!! My boobs were killing me!!! I told him we needed to go but he kept saying in a few minutes. How inconsiderate is that!?!? Then we get home and while I have to settle Bryson and pump he just lays down and goes to bed!! Am I overreacting?? Or am I right that he should have been a little more aware that me and our newborn have some time/ sleep needs right now?? Ughhh Im so mad I felt like he cared more about his new buddy than us. I havent even spoken to him today. Ok I needed that vent!! Off to Target I go pump shopping now.

PS. I like your name Azure means blue doesnt it?? And yes, mine is heather lol.

colleen - Friday, 8 August
Try not to think about that! I had a moment yesterday on the way home in the car when I thought I left Haylie in the shopping cart!! I guess that's what mommies go through

heathersprk - Friday, 8 August
Well 4-5 ozs is way too much but he will try to eat it. He ALWAYS throws up if he eats that much. Actually Ive been experimenting this week and I have found that if he sits completely up while he eats and I burp him after every once, he can eat about 3.5 ozs without barfing much up so I think 3.5 ozs is his magic amount for now. But burping after every once really helps. Okay so we tried sex last night... I didnt really want to, but I couldnt hold hubby off any longer. I wont sugar coat it, I thought it hurt... it hurt where the stitches were it was almost like she stitched me up too much, but I suppose in time it will get better. Probably just cause its been so long. I dont think the IUD is supposed to hurt... they say it feels like a pap smear but we will see. The crappy thing is I have to get bloodwork done the day before, you know how I feel about that. I just keep reminding myself that it lasts for 5 years I wont have to deal with it or even think about it for 5 years!! SO can I ask what you first name is LOL??? I feel so silly I was thinking you are actually one of my closest confidants these days... my best girlfriend doesnt have kids so even though I totally still love her, she really cant relate to my life at all right now. Okay the diapers. I agree the size 1's are too big but like you we are moving on to them anyway. Hes all out of nb's (except for the generic ones I hate and dont want to use and a pack I swear Ive lost... I bought a new pack to take to VA, we were only gone a weekend so I swear there were a lot left but I cant find them!! Could I truely be so out of it that I used them and dont remember???!!) Anyway, Im essentially out so Im going to start using the Luvs, Ill let you know how they do. I think if we wrap them really tight they will be okay. Im going to buy pampers again after them. I have a generic pack of size 1's too but I dont want to use them, they were given as a gift but I really wish I knew where they came from so I could return them. I tend to just use the generic ones at home where I know I can change them often. Oh yeah and they sent me a whle new bassinet portion to his bed and it works now!!! Thank GOSH he loves his massage bed!!! Its crappy it broke but at least they were good about replacing parts and they shipped them fast!! So hows the formula going??? I want to stop pumping too I hate it so much but I have a bunch of milk stored so I suppose Ill use that first, anyway let me know how it goes though. Im glad your hubby is being so understanding!!!

colleen - Thursday, 7 August
Oh, new pics up

colleen - Thursday, 7 August
Maybe you can pump the bigger boob more and that'll help? I got cleared for everything on Monday at my 6 week. I'm going on the pill for now. OMG, I told my doc that we had sex on Sunday and she asked me if we used a condom. I said no, pull out. She was like, huh, you know you're probably ovulating right about now!!!! AAAHHHH!!! I would DIE if I was preggo again this soon! It took almost 3 years to get pg with Haylie

Oh well, it would kind of be good in a way b/c we would get 2 kids over with right away!! Especially since I'm 35 and D's 40-time is running out! But to answer your question, I was positive I didn't want anymore kids, but now I'm starting to rethink it

I definitely don't want 2 in row, I would like to wait a couple years. It's funny, I thought was soo in love with Haylie when she was born, but it gets wayyy more intense as time goes on! I never want to be too far away from her! I'll stop rambling now...

heathersprk - Tuesday, 5 August
Sorry I got so busy I didnt even realize it had been so long since I wrote... my appt went good I guess. I go back on the 26th to get my IUD... kinda scared about that. I kinda wish I could just take the pill. Oh well at least once its done its done for 5 years. Anyway, 6.5 hours!!!! OMG Im so jealous Bry will not sleep more than 3 hours still at night. His appetite is increasing he wants to eat like 4-5 ozs but he still spits so much of it up that I think it makes hijm get hungry again fast. I really wish I could think of a solution for that. So I meant to tell you about the diapers, I also pulled out a size one but it swalowed him. Its crazy there is such a jump in sizes. The Luvs felt really thin to me, but who knows Ill have to wait until he can wear them to know if they are any good. Hmmm lets see yeah the avent pacis are the only ones he lies too. I was going to switch to the avent bottles but they dont fit my pump. I did switch from Dr Browns to the playtex liners though. I got frusterated trying to clean the vent thingy in the zdr browns. I love that I can just throw the liner away. It seems so nuch cleaner and they help him swallow less air too. So far I like them better. B's new vibrator came but it didnt fix the problem!! I was so surprised it came so fast... now they think its the wire so they have to replace the entire bassinet portion because the wire is sewn in. At least they are willing to send it free. He really likes to vibrate. Are you going to take tyler to get his pictures made?? I was just thinking today that I should set up an appt at a portrait studio to get Bry's made. Ok well hes having a melt down so I better go for now...

Oh, I bet it's probably the same ingredients as the brand name stuff! You gotta let me know how it goes once you've been on it a week or so-maybe I'll switch Haylie to it! So I guess you're gonna be off the boob sooner than later, huh? That's good that your hubby understands-it'll be so much of a relief for you, trust me! We got the professional pics done Saturday and I'm still trying to figure out how to get them up on here! They look awesome!

pregnanthairdresser - Monday, 4 August
6.5 is good too though!!! Poor little man..!! I gotta check out the oxy baby stuff.. i dont have any.. lol.. Ive got my mr home from work he got hurt so now i have another one to care for.. Hectic..!!! Anyways i gotta go pick up his script..hope all is well and heres to hoping for a thru the night sleep tonite for tyler and madison!

colleen - Monday, 4 August
I kind of wish we started on the generic stuff, but the doc gave us the enfamil to try and I don't want to keep switching her back and forth-her poor belly's already up in knots!! Have you been reading the 1 month board? WTH is with EVERYONE'S baby-they're all sleeping like 9-12 straight thru the night!!!!! What the heck are they doing that we're NOT??? Jeez I want 8 hours in a row!! I told D they probably just don't hear their babies crying and they sooth themselves back to sleep!! LOL He thinks I might be pretty accurate!

colleen - Saturday, 2 August
wow! He's eating good, too, huh?

He's grown a lot in length! That's great! I took Haylie to Babiesrus for their big sale this morning-met my friend who had her baby 2 weeks after me. We had fun rummaging thru their clearance racks! The sales were ok, but not that great. The only thing is this a tax free weekend for NC, so no tax on clothes this weekend. Do you get taxed there? I'm so used to PA, no tax there, only to move here and pay like 7%(I think that's what it's up to now).

pregnanthairdresser - Friday, 1 August
Hahah i had a blow out with madison just like that yesterday morning..all over her white watermelon outfit that is adorable..its like they plan it lol.. Yeah Madison is so big they told me not to wake her ever to feed..lol. She did 7.5 last nite which is fantastic!! Not at a great time..she woke up 5am..but hey ill take what i can get!!! Im not complaining.. Glad to hear Tyler is sleeping well :) THats fannntastic!!!!!

It is amazing that you can actually forget how miserable prengancy can be. And, I like you have been blessed with uncomplicated pregnancies. . .I can't imagine having complications on top of pregnancy itself, lol.

I put a couple of pics up from the beach trip . . .once my sis e-mails my profile shot I'll put it up. : )

I hear you about the double duty pumping but trust me in the end its easier. The first time we went out to eat with Bry we had just gotten seated and were about to order when he decided he was on the verge of starvation. I had to get up and go out to the car and feed him leaving hubby sitting at the table alone for like 20 minutes. At LEAST when pumping I can just whip out a bottle in times like that. Its all a pain though I totally agree. AT least you hubby is willing to stop at 8 weeks. If you cant last that long then so be it, its not like you can help it if youre not making enough milk you cant control that. Definately let me know what the doc says today though and how much he weighs!!! I though preggo brain was bad, apparently new mommy brain is 10 times worse. I dont have my Drs appt today its tomorrow... I dont know why I thought it was today but boy am I glad I double checked my calendar before I took off and showed up for an appt a day early!!! You know some days I make more milk than other days, like yesterday... I got tons of milk yesterday I froze like 2 baggies but tday Im barely getting enough to keep him fed, it doesnt make sense but so far in the end it seems to even out. I dont care though Ill feed him for as long as I can for up to 3 months. Hmmm Bry doesnt leak through the pampers or huggies but he dos through the generic ones which is why I dont like them. I changed my sheets yesterday (which you know what a huge project trying to wash and change sheets can be these days) and ended up letting Bry take a nap in my bed later on in the day and his crappy diaper leaked!!! on my clean sheets!!! AGHHHH so frusterating!! I only have 2 packs of size 1s actually and one os generic. Someone gave them to me and I dont know where they got them to return them darn it. I think all generic diapers are the same no matter when they come from. They all have the same printing on them. Ive decided to ditch the rest of the generic nb diapers. Ill use up the rest of the huggies and then move to size 1's. We will try to Luvs... supposedly they are good for not leaking. I bathe Bry everyday but I know that is a lot. Id say normally once a week or twice a week is plently if he doesnt seem dirty to you. However, Bry spits up so much he always ends up with milky crap trapped in his neck its so gross that I feel he needs a bath. It does dry his skin out though I use a lot of baby lotion on him to combat that. Plus he likes baths. They seem to relax him and make him sleepy, always a plus. Hes sleeping in his bed now. OH YEAH I forgot to tell you the vibration unit in his bed quit working!!! Can you believe it??!! A disaster, he wanted nothing to do with his bed since it doesnt work. But I called evenflo and no questions asked they are sending me a replacement vibration unit at no charge so thats good I hope it gets here soon!! So heres a personal question, how are you feeling down there?? Is sex in question yet?? Since Im going for my 6 weeks appt I know they will clear me for sex and thats scary. Russ Im sure will be wanting it!!! I dont hurt down there anymore but still it seems scary.

pregnanthairdresser - Wednesday, 30 July
