Calling all the Pregnant PS''ers

CONGRATULATIONS EBREE!! Welcome Henry! Can''t wait to see pictures and hear your birth story!
 
Congrats Ebree!!!! So happy for you! So are we to assume this was a successful induction? I can''t wait to hear more about it!

Going crazy waiting for news from NYC too!

My pregnant tip of the day to anyone who cares...don''t let yourself get to the point that you are starving or you will NEVER stop eating! Today I only had a small bowel of cereal, and then I went to the gym, and then I went to the pool since it''s actually NICE out for once! I came home and was sooooo famished, and I haven''t been able to stop eating since! No wonder I look just as big as Robbie even though I''m a month behind....Anyway, here''s my contribution to bpf, taken yesterday when I actually did my hair/makeup to go to the Navy function.

33weeks 1day.

I had to stop in to congratulate blushing! Then I saw Ebree''s news, congratulations on your sweet boy

And Robbie you look fantastic, the cutest pregnant belly ever -- it won''t be long!
Hi Lindsey - thank you so much!!!

I wanted to let you know that I had followed your story since I lurked on this thread. I hope that things have gotten a bit easier for you and your DH. I realize that you are still grieving, but about a month ago, you had a very positive outlook. I thought it was great that you both were doing what you needed to in order to get yourselves in the right place again. I wish you and your DH all the best and hope you can join us on this thread again very soon!

EBREE- Congrats!!!!

I knew it! Hope all went well. Can''t wait to see pics/hear your story. I can''t believe you''re a momma!!!

Sabine/Robbie- You guys both look great, all belly. Robbie, you definitely look way bigger than last week! How funny. I definitely am bigger than my last pic- I swear my belly grew just yesterday alone. Will take a pic this weekend when I find the camera!

Hey LINDS! Nice to "see" you! We all think of you often.
 
Natalie, good to hear from you! Hope you are hanging in there. *hugs*

Ebree, huge congrats!! Can''t wait to see some pictures!!!

Steph, that is so wonderful to hear!

Tao, I voted girl for you, but I don''t think I''m on the list. Your wedding looked like a lot of fun, btw!

Cute belly pics everyone!! Here is my contribution (18 weeks and 2 days).

Yay Ebree!

Congratulations!

T-gal - Glad I''m not the only one! Interesting that you think it''s because you look different. Daisy is the spitting image of me at the same age - although I think she''ll ultimately look like a mix of both of us - and it''s my parents who are feeling like she''s theirs!
 
Yay Ebree! I''m so excited for you. Congrats!

You guys look really fantastic. Peony, how did you get to 18 weeks?!?!?!
 
Oh, I think I''m ready to start my "what are the sexes" poll since we find out in less than a week. Just so you gals feel like you have all of the information (of course, that will make it soooo much more scientific), here is everything I can think of:

Conception details
I was on Clomid (50mg); this is supposed to make CM more hostile to sperm over time but we used Preseed and Robitussin and it was our first month
Both kiddos were ovulated from the left side and implanted on opposite sides of the uterus
My chart is attached

Pregnancy details
I had moderate to severe morning sickness
Main craving was fruit
Coffee smelled delicious to me
Main food aversion was meat
Heartrates were 150 and 156 at our 12-week ultrasound

I have two sisters and a brother, and DH has two brothers. I don''t have any cousins, and DH has two male cousins on his mom''s side (we don''t know anything about his dad''s side). That''s all I can think of!

Ooooh Peony. I have no idea, but I''m so curious because I''m almost exactly the opposite for pregnancy details. Mild morning sickness, coffee smells absolutely disgusting (and I loooooved coffee pre-pregnancy), I am craving meat more than anything (and I''m a strick vegetarian). So whatever you''re having, I''m having the oppostie. Haha.
 
I''m guessing 2 girls. Does anyone on PS have twin girls?
 
Congrats Ebree!!!!

Steph, glad every thing's okay!

Sabine, Peony and Robbie you all look great!

everyone else. hope you're all well today!

eta: Lindsey, great to "see" you here. I hope you're doing well!
 
Mela, thank you for the good thoughts! It is very scary, I''m glad your little Romeo was just fine!

Blushing, thank you so much, I am very relieved! Has morning sickness hit you yet? It has come on full force for me all of a sudden!

Dreamer, thank you!

Robbie, thank you. Your belly shot is so cute, you are tiny!

Tgal, I can''t imagine mine all grown up either!

Ebree, CONGRATS on little Henry

Sabine, cute pic! I know the feeling about eating too much when you are starving! At least you got some good workouts in! What all do you do at the gym? I have only been a few times since I got pregnant, and I just did some light weights and walking on the treadmill.

Peony, thanks! Your pic is too cute, I can''t believe you have twins in there! I am saying Team Pink....2 girls! It will be interesting, I am having the same symptoms exactly!

Mrs., Thank you!

Hope everyone is doing well today. I''m going to try to go get my little one to lay down for a rest with me, I am so tired!
 
congrats Ebree!!!! Can''t wait to see pics of Henry!!!
 
Ebree, congratulations!!! I love the name Henry and can''t wait to see pictures and read your story!

Steph, that is such good news! So glad your little bean was happily playing, oblivious to your concern!
 
OK, time for a belly pic. I haven''t done one since 15 weeks! Here is 22 weeks, 1 day.

P.S. Sorry that I don''t know how to place the images side by side. It took me two computers and three different photo programs to even get the pictures on here!

One of my pals is preggo and she said something like heart rates over 165 or 170 are more apt to be a girl? Her baby''s was 174 I think and they gave her an ''early'' prediction of a girl. Has anyone else heard that?

Total old wives tales. And if she''s anywhere near 10 weeks, a heartrate about 165 is normal. It tends to slow down a bit after that, so 174 could be anything if she''s near there.

The best thing about old wives tales is that they have a 50% chance of being right. People tend to overlook this and claim it as complete truth.
 
Peony, I''m going to guess team purple for you (one of each!). You look great!

Phoenix, so do you!

Steph, I''ve just been walking on the treadmill and then using machines to work my arms at the gym.

Where''s Miss Fiery been today? I wonder if she''s off having her lo too...although for some reason I don''t think she really is.
 
Congratulations Ebree!!!!

Can''t wait for the birth story and the adorable pics of Henry.

Steph
Glad everything is ok. When is your EDD again?

Robbie
It looks like your belly dropped since last week. You look SO good.
Jen had twin girls, but she doesn''t post much on PS anymore. She''s probably busy with her 5 kids.

Sabine
You look fabulous.
I haven''t stopped eating since I got my BFP. LOL.

peony
You have such a cute, little bump. You are so tiny for carrying twins.
My guess is twin girls.

phoenix
Aww cute belly, so tiny for 22 weeks. You look great.

Mara
Old Wives Tales, like any other gender prediction tales.

Went to my 2nd appt today. We saw the little bean and the hb. I am measuring the same as my LMP. I got the referral letters for the NT scan and the corresponding blood tests. My OB office will make the appt for me. I didn''t do the scan for Meena. OB said that CA mandated the 1st trimester screening (NT scan & blood tests) this past April, so everyone will get one unless you opt out.
 
Peony, I'm guessing twin girls for you too! Yours is trickier because I don't even have a 50/50 chance of being right.

Robbie, I don't think I've ever guessed for you. My guess is boy!


ETA: I forgot a funny story. I have this friend, the one who outted me as being pregnant on Facebook (but only if you care to read the comments on my pictures). Her thing is that she always blurts out whatever she's thinking, and it's usually something crazy/outrageous/embarrassing. So last night we were over her place and she introduced us to a new woman. This woman and I were chatting about something totally unrelated, and all of a sudden my friend interrupted to say, "Oh, by the way, Phoenixgirl isn't fat; she's pregnant." This led to everyone else telling her how horrible that was, and me saying well, actually, I don't want people thinking I'm just fat so it's ok (but maybe it could have been phrased a little more tactfully)!
 
Peony- Looking good girl! Seem so tiny for twins! I am thinking you have at least 1 girl in there, so I think I''ll go TEAM PINK.

Sabine- I think maybe Fiery was going OOT this weekend? Can''t remember for sure though.

Phoenix- You look great too! Oh, and love the name, btw. So beautiful.

Q- Really???? That is so interesting about the NT test being mandated. I got it, just an u/s plus bloodwork. How far are you again?

Mandarine- Which site did you find the decal with the moon on it? Keep searching those sites you mentioned and I can''t find it. It''s driving me crazy!!!

Can''t believe Ebree snuck off and had her little guy.

Yeah, I heard that too. This led my sister and me to believe that she was having a girl and I was having a boy (she''s 3.5 weeks ahead of me). At 12 weeks, her baby''s heart rate was 169 and mine was 144. But we''re both having girls! We were also convinced because she BDed several days before O and we BDed day of, and supposedly that is something like 80% accurate. I guess I''m the 20%!
 
Mandarine- Never mind. I''m losing even my preggo brain. It wasn''t you with the moon decal- but you did inspire me with your boys swinging one- I found one somewhere else, guess I just can''t remember where!

Have a great weekend all!
 
Robbie and Sabine- you guys look fabulous! Robbie you definitely look bigger than last week, but still ALL belly!

EBree- I knew it! Congratulations! Can''t wait to hear all about it and see pics! So happy for you!

Peony- you are adorable. What a cute little belly! My first instinct for you was 2 girls, even before reading everyone else''s votes. So put me down for team pink all the way!

Pheonix- you look great too! I agree that posting pics is way hard! Feel like such a dork, but I was able to get a couple pics of my rings up a while back, and anything else I try never works. Definitely not a computer wizard here.

Mara- our baby girl has been holding steady at 155-156 since 12 weeks, now at 24 weeks. Our doc says there''s no validity to that tale.

Lindsay- Hello! Hope you are doing well!
 
Congrats Ebree!!

Adorable belly pics ladies!!
 
CONGRATULATIONS, EBREE!!!!

EBree, congratulations! I am over the moon for you! I look forward to meeting Henry!

Mara, since when have you lurked on the preggo thread?
31.gif


Pandora, that''s funny about your folks. And I think I''m grasping at straws as to why I feel like I have rent-a-kid. Maybe I''m saying that because I always thought "good" moms aren''t supposed to say that? I just was never a maternal person. I enjoy motherhood now, don''t get me wrong, but sometimes it just feels foreign, like I am doing well at a job or something!
