How`s my pregnancy doing?

I love you Stock Icons reason.jpg image by pregnantandlovinit

well i went for my first official ultrasound and appt yesterday. everything went really well. the heart rate was @ 171 bpm. along with hearing it, i could actually see the heart beating on the screen. it was amazing!!! they did a 4d shot and that was the neatest!! i cant wait until it is developed enough to be able to see more of a face. my best friend was right there with me and we held hands and shed a few tears at the cuteness of it all. we even got to see the lil one dance around a bit. it was the greatest!!!!

so now i am really starting to feel pregnant... ive found that the art of simply sitting up from a laying down position takes more effort and, it is definitely time to do some clothes shopping!! things have gone pretty well so far, with the xception of infrequent bleeding, but everytime we were able to hear our little one's heart beating which calmed my nerves. ive even felt a few flutters from the lil onesp far!! now, that was amazing! i cant believe that i am almost halfway thru this whole thing! wow, if these past few months have flown by this fast i cant even imagine what the next year will be like. but im still totally xcited about it all! in about six weeks we are going in to see what our lil one is (supposing that he/she cooperates) and at that point we start going over names. yay! it will be nice to call it something other than "it" haha, i feel horrible everytime! my best friend and my aunt are so awesome that they are raising $ to cover this ultrasound that will also go over every aspect of the baby it can. (size, development, gender, etc) so a big thanx goes out to them in advance!! well im sure ill have more to add in a few weeks, until then good luck to everyone & may we all bask in the ambionce of our pregnancies! =)

wow! i cant believe our little man will be here in less than 4 months! time has really flown by... my pregnancy has progressed well,and now that i feel him kick everyday and he has a (known) gender and a name, things are getting very real. i am too xcited about meeting lil Conner! i've started wearing maternity clothes on a regular basis, and im actually enjoying it! I get a whole new wardrobe, and dont feel bad about spending the $ on myself, cuz i have to! i've found that garage sales, along with the occasional sales rack are the way to go! some of the price tags on maternity clothes are out of my spending limit for sure!!! ive also been enjoying buying clothes for Conner! everytime i buy him a cute new outfit i get so stoked about seeing him in it. and im actually enjoying the growing belly! at first i just felt like i looked fat, but now that there is a definate baby bulge goin on i feel kinda cute! in a couple weeks im going to register for the baby shower and i just cant wait to bring the stuff home and start setting it all up!! plus my aunt had a great idea to include the men in this whole thing...along with the shower we are throwing a keg/diaper party (if any of u ladies want to steal this idea feel free, its a great idea) so we are gonna have snax and soda n stuff, but the price for a cup (for the keg) is a pack of diapers!! how genius is that?! we get to party with our freinds and family, all the while stocking up the closet with the all important (not to mention pricey) diapers! until next time, take care all u mommys and lil buns in the ovens!

Hey babe! How have you been? I have actually had kind of a rough week. My midwife lectured me about how much weight I have gained :( I gained 10 lbs since my last appt a month ago! (WTF?!!) Its very strange to me because I have been eating really healthy and only drinking water no juice or lemonade (even though I miss it) and exercising every day.. but I just keep getting more and more GIANT :( !! I was really depressed about it and have been having anxiety about how I am going to lose like 50 f***ing lbs?! But I am just trying not to worry about it too much as there is really NOTHING I can do about it right now! I am also kind of freaking out because I have to get this rhogam shot tomorrow- I HATE shots! :( But whatever... it is completely necessary. As for the nursery, ha ha no I have not done anything yet! We have ordered some furniture etc and registered for a lot of stuff. I am having my baby showers in Aug/Sept so hopefully we will get most of what we need :) (Shit is expensive! I mean my husband is like we HAVE to have this stroller and I'm like um... $1100? Are you kidding me?) I am wanting to get a crib and a bassinet the bassinet for the bedroom for the first couple of months.. it has been recommended to me by many people to keep the baby in your room for the first couple months or so.. not to mention it seems way easier to crawl to the foot of your bed to feed him rather than get up and walk all the way down the hall, right? :) Are you gonna breastfeed? I am because its best for the baby but I am kinda freaked out about it... So, you getting kicked in the ribcage ALL the time like me? How bout leaking from your boobs! (EW) that's been happening to me for a long time... Oh, has your belly button popped out yet? Mine hasn't but my belly is HUGE, I wonder if it will ever stick out.. Well, babe hope you are doing great and so is your little tiny baby! (what are they like 3 lbs now?) How's your man? Hope all 3 of you are awesome and have a great weekend etc. Nice to hear from you and sorry for the first part of my message being all complaining! take care! xoxo

Awww thank you so much for your reply. I think i just needed a little reassurance! I think i may have the one or two glasses then! Will feel so strange! lol xx

I am glad the party was a success!! You are going to be such a great mom because you are already going with the flow of life. At least I am not the only one who has not started a nursery. : )


jlynn - Sunday, 20 July
 You are too cute!!!!


jlynn - Sunday, 20 July
Hi!! How are you? I am seriously barely hanging in. This has been such an uncomfortable pregnancy. I just want the baby out. I feel my skin stretching on my belly and it really hurts. Enjoy the first pregnancy. It really is the best because you don't get as big. I wish I was do in August. lol!! your party sounds like a great idea and so much fun. How is the nursery coming? We have not started ours yet. Ugh! Sorry I am such a downer. I am excited to meet my little boy. : )

unless you have particular concerns, I think the best thing you could have in a pediatrician is that you get along with them. When I met with my chosen doc before my daughter was born we just didn't hit it off. I kept trying to make little jokes and she was just ALL BUSINESS. I thought.. I'd like someone who can make my child laugh instead of just cry. We switched docs to another in the practice and I love her. really.. personality is a huge key. good luck!


sharra - Monday, 14 July
You too.


sharra - Monday, 14 July
If you are going to circumsize your boy, you will need to ask your new doctor if he/she does that. some peds don't do it because they feel there is no reason to. Make sure they do if you are going to have it done. Mine does not, but he has a partner doctor that does. Just something to ask. Good luck!


*momof2* - Monday, 14 July
My first appointment I had no idea what to ask either. I mainly asked questions like - are they going to be able to do rounds in the hospital. I also asked if they circumcise before you go home or do you have to come to the office - that is if you are having him circumcised (many doctors do this differently). The main reason I went to see our pediatrician before hand was to see if I was comfortable talking to him or her. Good luck!

I would ask how long an office visit typically takes.....we didn't and were disappointed with our son's first doctor. We felt like cattle being herded through the office. We never waited long, but we never got to see the doc for very long either. I would also ask about how much they prescribe antibiotics as a first option.....lots of doctors do this when unnecessary just to make you feel like they "did" something for you......but our son was on them way too much, which is not good. Some things just need to run their course and there are more natural treatments for things. Those two things ended up having us change doctors, so to us they were important issues.

Hey! Congrats on your pregnancy! I'm also a first timer but my husband found these questions that helped us narrow down a pediatrician:

http://www.babycenter.com/0_pediatrician-family-doctor-interview-sheet_1452019.bc

We didn't go exactly by that but it was a good guide to get some ideas from. I could still be wrong (since I haven't had my baby yet ) but I just had a good feeling from the office staff and DR. Hope that helps!! Take care!


jlynn - Sunday, 15 June
Hi!! Congrats on your little baby boy. I have been buying little blue clothes(cause I have all pink. : ) And, I cannot believe how little this little guy is going to be. I am excited and nervous. it's like I cannot wait to meet him, and then it;s like I know I will be sooo sleep deprived, etc. for a few months. It is wonderful when he moves, which is not often for me. Does your little guy move a lot. Right now, they have a lot of room, so they will kick off the sides of your uterus, and yes, sometimes it feels like they will come right out. : )

Oh me too dude I HAVE to have a girl! I have always wanted girls and then more recently decided I wanted at least one of each and four total. We'll see if I change my mind or not lol...
But I wanted the oldest to be a boy so he could like take care of his little sisters! Totally!! :) So it is great that our oldest will be boys.
My husband thinks I'm retarded that I'm now freaking out every so often like OMG what if we are those people that have like 5 boys!! and never get a girl? He's like are you kidding me you're retarded. He also wants to have 3 kids but I'm sure I could convince him to have a 4th ;) He said that probably cause I always get what I want.
But yeah, give your BF some time to get used to litte Conner before you start talking about more babies! I'm sure you guys won't have just one! Take care babe have a great weekend! :) xo


FirstTimeMom21 - Friday, 13 June
Hey babe. That's so funny cause I had one dream that it was a girl too! (and like seventeen that it was a boy lol) I wonder why that is... Maybe it means our second children will be girls?? Who knows? But funny that we both had that dream..
I like Conner. Very cute. Hope all is well with you and your man and your little little man!! :) Out there in the cornfields or wherever you live... ;)


FirstTimeMom21 - Wednesday, 11 June
Ok so I was asking about why you were so sure because I too was 100% positive (I mean every once in a while I doubted myself of course) that I was having a boy- I cannot explain why I just FELT it like I KNEW. Then I had all these dreams that he was a boy and sometimes I would be sleeping ish but kind of awake and just feel so happy about my son that I knew was a son. Then if I thought it was a girl I actually felt disappointed which is REALLY weird cause I have always wanted a girl!! ANYWAY (I know I am one long-winded ass person right now!!) soo I was right too and I'm having a boy too! I'm SO excited he is gonna be so cute- and I totally think he has his dad's nose!! Hope you and little baby are doing well! Any names yet??? Take care babe :)


FirstTimeMom21 - Tuesday, 10 June
Hey you! How you been?? I just saw your post- why are you almost 100% sure it is a boy?? Because you just think/ feel it? Or because of previous u/s? And... what happened today? Boy or girl?!?!?!?!


jlynn - Saturday, 17 May
Thanks for the well wishes. Cute belly shot. : ) I think you are having a girl, you will have to let me know. Have you started shopping at all yet? I cannot believe we are almost half way through. I am in maternity clothes now, and I always feel like I am out of breath. I probably need to start exercising. Glad you are feeling good. : )


jlynn - Wednesday, 14 May
Hi. We are having a boy. Now my little girl will have someone to boss around besides me. : ) Do you know what you are having yet?


stoner23 - Monday, 28 April
The first time I felt it was kind of like I had butterflies in my tummy, like little flutters. However, the other day I felt a definite thump. So if you feel like you have bubbles in your tummy or little flutters then thats the baby moving. Thanks for the congrats and I really love this site!
