June 1st - Weekly Updates

[misapup]

Hey all!!
We made it to June!!! How are all the Dec mamas doing?

I'm great! A little tired as we had graduation ceremonies all weekend. We also got to tell a few more people about the new baby which was pretty exciting. I had to tell one of our friends though which was hard. She and her husband are our DS's godparents and it took them awhile to come around to be with him and now we had to tell them all over again that we are having another one.

They have been through so much. Several miscarriages, an adoption that was taken from them after caring for the baby girl for a week and now my friend is facing early menopause so she is feeling now that all her options are done and here I am announcing mine...It hurt me to see her face turn so sad. Her DH told my DH that she will be fine and that she is happy for us, but it was till hard.....

YAY !!! June ...

I hope this week is finding everyone well . Summer can finally start in full swing around here . I love the weather & I love my flip flops lol ....

I'm 10w3d today . Everything seems ok . I'm a worry wart ! I'm happily cautious as my DH puts it . But I can see the end of our first trimester and couldn't be happier about that !!! I'm more then ready to see what the second trimester is all about .

I'll be going on a trip Wednesday to see my family . They live 6 hours away from me . We are going for my parents 25th Anniversary party . I soooo don't look forward to seeing my sister ! A pain in my rump ! But on the up side , I get to be with my Mom ... This will be the first time I've seen them since the BIG news . Should be fun & I just hope I have enough trunk space for everything my Mom has bought and stored the last few weeks . I think she might be excited lol .

Still got the severe " gags " ... And this constipation is really becoming a pain , literally . But I'm hanging in there and happy about it all . I still require lots of naps . Which I love . Aside from all that , I'm doing great !

Can't wait to read everyones updates ... Hang in there " belly - buddies " .

JUNE YES!
I am 10w today. Feeling a little anxious as I dont have the weekly u/s I have been having in the past few weeks. I have to wait till next Tues.
Feeling really tired with very mild bouts of nausea. I have moved from a week of diarreah to constipation.

Lyrical - try prunes. They have been working for me

Has anyone been feeling little flutters? I know its not gas and I have read on the internet that it could be the baby moving. Can I feel it this early?

YEah!!! Ultrascreen test came back normal!!!!! Awesome!!!
I'm so happy now....3 more weeks until next OB appt....too long to wait it seems!

Hi all. Sounds like things are going well. 13 and 2 days and counting.

Here is pretty much the same--the gags and exhausted.

I bought a belly band--the one at Target--and it is great. Clothes are comfier

ALso have felt flutters--could it be the baby? That would be amazing

Killing me to wait for doctor until the 15th!

I told one of my classes today (high school seniors--their last day of school). We were playing a game--someone was on the hot seat and had to answer questions. They asked me to tell something no one knew. I LOVE these kids (my best class ever) and have grown pretty close--I swore them to secrecy and blurted it out. I haven't told principal yet, but she is retiring anyway, so oh well It was fun--they were screaming and all excited.

Congrats on the u/s Jenn!

Today's week 14 for me - yay. Nausea seems to be tapering off a bit, although I still have really attractive gags every once in awhile and still can't manage many vegetables Now I'm contending with a pretty rough headache.

I have a strange question for people - does anyone have chunks of time where they don't 'feel' pregnant? Like you almost don't believe it could be true? That seems to be the downside of the lack of vomiting, etc.

Congrats Jenn. Great news on the u/s.

PFF - I am constantly anxious that I am not pregnant. I have very mild symptoms. This coupled with my hematoma bleed and cramps keep me constantly worried. I even called the OB this morning and they asked me to come in for an u/s - they are keeping a close eye on me. Everything looks great except for the clot. Baby is growing like it should, moving around and a had a h/b of 173. So yes, I feel unpregnant a lot mostly due to the lack of nausea. You are in the safe zone now so you shouldnt worry. I cant wait to get to my 2nd tri.

[daettc]

Yes pff--that's why I don't mind the gags.

I can't remember if I felt sick this morning--how bad is that? I do feel I am losing my mind--lol. I know I wasn't this afternoon but I had food day at work and ate all day, so that could be why.

Anytime I don't feel something I ask DH if baby disappeared.

Hey everyone! PFF...I definitely have occasions where I feel that way but it's rare because I am showing so early now. So I seldom can tell with this belly that I'm not pg. lol Speaking of which...

DAE...so cool that you teach H.S. because I teach 6th grade. Imagine that! Their graduation is the 16th and I've been trying to hold out until the day before to tell them but hiding it is becoming more and more of a problem based on what I mentioned above. I am wanting to break out my maternity tops next week because my regular tops show a tummy bulge now anyway. So it's getting to be obvious!

So we had u/s #2 yesterday and our gummy bear was kicking it's little leg buds at us on the screen with a h/b of 179 bpm...of course that means girl based on the old wives tale. They adjusted my due date 4 days earlier (which I knew they would because they're basing it on my LMP and not the fact that I O'd late). And I scheduled my NT scan for 3 weeks from now. So that's the next time we'll see the baby.

Very cool whit! It was so hard not to tell them, but it is so exciting when you do!

Congrats on the good news

I am bumping a bit, too, depending on the shirt. (I like it though--lol so if I am not at work I wear shirts that show me Even at work, I've told my closer friends and some of the kids, so I don't care if others find out. I just have one busybody in my department who will compare my every move in pregnancy to hers if she knows. That's the main reason I haven't told everyone there. If she finds out though, it is no big deal. I just have to hear her mouth, that's all--lol. With the way my hormones are raging, I'd probably bite her head off if she said something--lol.
