Good morning, everyone! Hope everyone is feeling well, pooping, etc.
My random is that my anatomy scan is tomorrow morning! Eek! I'm super excited but a little nervous, too. DH and I both want to know the sex, but we haven't decided whether we want the tech to tell us right there or if we want the tech to write down the sex and we'll look later when we're alone. Thoughts?
Also, my best friend dreamed that she and I were looking at an ultrasound picture of my baby. I told her I thought the baby would look like Jon Lovitz. What the? Let's hope she not right.
Urban, I feel like you just said you were pregnant! Yay for your anatomy scan! I've never found out the sex, so I have no thoughts on that except I feel like it would be nicer to do by yourselves over a nice dinner or something?

Hope tomorrow goes great for you, Urbancowboy. Very exciting!
My husband has been disenchanted with his job for over a year now and is really thinking of quitting or waiting until he gets fired due to major changes at the company (he's been saying for the last 2 months he thinks he's going to get fired). He's going to buy into a friends business and become partners before the baby is due. I'm excited for him, but kind of freaked out at the same time since our health insurance is through his work (I'm self employed). I guess I need to check into COBRA and private health insurance. Eeek!
I'm finally feeling better today after throwing up basically all day yesterday, but I'm a little worried because I lost almost 5 pounds just from yesterday. Yikes.
In other news, we are under contract on a house and all I've been doing while sick is lay in bed and shop online for house things. So exciting!
DH found out today that instead of a trip that would have had him gone this Saturday through next, he's leaving tomorrow, likely for about 2 weeks, though there's no definite end, could be more or less. This pretty much guarantees that the snow we might get on Friday will be big. I need to stock up on some indoor activities for DD.
Had an appt yesterday to follow up on high BP at my last few appointments, and my lab work was actually back from Friday and everything looks good. No explanation for the high BP, but it's not pre-e or anything else to worry about.
It's hard being at work today- I haven't been here since Wednesday last week!
so exciting your scan is tomorrow! I think writing it down and finding out alone, together would be cute. \
My random: We sold our condo! Well, in the process of selling. But all looks good so far and the closing is Feb. 11th. It's a 1 bedroom condo, so it'll be nice to have another bedroom now so I can really start thinking about a nursery. I thought we were never going to sell it and I'd have a baby living in my living room.
And I plan on using the excuse of being pregnant so I don't have to help move the big stuff when we move in a couple weeks. I'll carry the small boxes.

Urban, you're finding out so early! I'm just jealous, because I'm a week behind you, and I'm not finding out until the end of Feburary. ::kicks dirt:: H and I are both taking off the day we're finding out. I'm trying to get him to agree with going to a nice dinner and finding out what we're having. It'll be exciting either way. Have fun and let us know what you're having!
I'm SO over work. I just am having such a hard time concentrating when I know that I'll be out of here in a few months.

Good luck at the a/s!
My random is that I've known I'm pregnant for 1.5 weeks now and except for the first few days (when it was likely all psychological anyway), I physically feel no different than I did before I got my BFP. Most of the time, I just tell myself that everyone is different when it comes to pregnancy but I can't help but worry either. I meet with the doctor tomorrow and even though it would be too early to have a u/s done and see anything, I hope he at least makes me feel more at ease with not feeling a damn thing at this point. I've taken naps here and there (I *never* take naps otherwise!), but I tie that to the lower caffeine amounts I've been consuming, not the pregnancy itself.

GL at the a/s urban! So exciting! Yesterday, my DH was all hey when can we find out the gender?? I'm like, we're still in the first tri buddy.
My random: (Possibly flameworthy/eyeroll worthy at least) I occasionally talk to my baby though it is the size of a blueberry or something. I encourage it to grow healthy and strong, and that we love it already. I'm nuts. It looks like a gummy bear right now.
Also, I want to get past this phase where I have to keep feeding my face every 2 hours to avoid feeling nauseated. I'm so sick of eating.
CONGRATS to those selling/buying houses. Such great news there.

I found out at 5 weeks, and felt no different. Just emotional, and MILD nausea.
Since then, things have slowly begun to appear. Sore boobs, exhaustion, and other fun developments have found me.
I have to eat every 2 hours to avoid feeling nausea, plus I'm just always starving...but nothing sounds good really. I'm sure you'll feel a little something soon!

Velar, I didn't feel any different for most of the first tri. Even at 16 weeks, sometimes I have to remind myself that I am pregnant, because I still don't feel any different. Just a little fluffier around the middle.

I forgot to answer you...I'd ask the tech to right it down, then you can look privately together. More special!
OH! And I REALLY hope your baby looks nothing like Jon Lovitz.

Thanks, everyone! Joolz, I know! I can't believe how quickly time is passing. Iheartvino, I thought it seemed early, too, but my doctor seems to think it won't be a problem. FX that the little one cooperates. I'm leaning toward asking the tech to write down the sex for us and sealing it in an envelope. DH wants to do it that way. I have no willpower, though, so I can picture myself tearing open the envelope in the car on the way home from the appointment.
Tulips, I doubt your coworkers are judging you. They might be a little nervous that they have to complete the project without you, but I'm sure they aren't mad.
Adlove, we're under contract, too! We're not moving in until March 1 and it's so hard to wait to buy things for the house. I've been pinning ideas to keep myself from actually buying things.
Winecheery, I went through that nonstop eating phase, too. I ate A LOT of saltines, because nothing else sounded good to me.
Post by iheartvino on Jan 22, 2013 14:14:26 GMT -5
You'll definitely be able to see what you're having tomorrow, unless baby doesn't cooperate. I'm just jealous. I doubt I will have willpower to wait until the evening to rip into the envelope, either.

urbancowgirl If your A/S is anything like ours, we couldn't wait for her to write it down. When she went to get LO's legs, he rolled around and gave us the proof we needed before we even looked for it. GL tomorrow! It is SO cool.
iheartvino it will go by quickly. I can't believe I'm half baked already. Shit is getting real.
I just scheduled our follow up ultrasound since LO didn't cooperate and show us his spine and kidneys. I'm taking a friend with me b/c DH has to work. He thinks its weird, I think she'll find it neat.
For the past three days my baby has been kicking and punching around my ute like a pro. The night before I felt a bunch of consecutive kicks I said to my H, "I wish I could feel something more definitive more often so I didn't feel so crazy!" The next day as I'm sitting there watching TV I just felt a bunch of flutters and bumps in there! They've been coming and going throughout the day since Saturday and there's no mistaking it!
Our anatomy scan is next Friday. My H and I are bouncing off the walls. I'm so glad this is a short week and we have a busy weekend to keep us occupied.
SO cute!
I am jealous of this whole post. I cannot wait to feel the baby move. I cannot wait to know what we're having.
I had my NT scan today with great results. One happy baby in there, low odds of any defects. It is a load off my mind to see what's going on and know so far, so good.
Yay A/S and houses! I've been trying to advise a friend with my hard-won knowledge of housebuying from all of one house, but he is not listening to me at all. Men. No, you should NOT just get one quote for replacing a roof, especially when it comes in $4k less than anything I've ever heard of around here! Gah.
tulips I STILL feel awkward telling people I'm pregnant, and I'm 32 weeks and very, very large. Hehe.
My random: my computer self-destructed and I have to use H's. I truly hate his keyboard. It is horrible. Takes me twice as long to type anything because I have to keep erasing things.
Hooray for A/S and houses! Fingers crossed for all.
I had an appointment today and an ultrasound and discovered that the little guy is frank breech, so his butt is right down by my cervix and his feet are literally in his face. Sounds comfy, no?
So now I'm researching ways to get him to flip around. I can't believe I'm going to play music to my hooha tonight. Turn baby, turn!
www.spinningbabies.com/ is the authority on... well, spinning babies. I wouldn't bother at 30 weeks, though. There's plenty of room in there to do gymnastics.

Interesting, litasail! What type of music do they recommend?
