Is anyone definitely team green?

@Smurfette: Haha yes, I feel like I'm literally just buying diapers! And I guess pacifiers. My girls will be 1 month apart in terms of birthday so literally all clothes are the right season!

@Smurfette: Ahh matching clothes! There goes all my $$$, haha. We rarely use our stroller w/ DD, so I'll prob hold out on the double for a while till I really see we need it.

@snowjewelz: Team green for me too!

So happy for you guys finding out genders this week! And YES for healthy babes

Hi all!

Hard to quote on phone and over two pages so from page previous, thank you for well wishes. I think all this foolishness assuming everything is ok will help my cause for finding out and not being TG! But day at a time. Looking forward to Tuesday's scan.

Headed into the city on train right now to go to a concert. Not sure if this friend I will be with will sniff me out not drinking!!

One more day of work for me Monday and then one month off. So close, and the weather is so gorgeous right now.

eeeee on boy and girl news for two of you!! So exciting!! Congrats!! Assume all good news/no news from the blood work otherwise!?

@sunnyday: It's kinda exciting to buy stuff tho! I have a pretty small list and I plan to send that to my family for Christmas, lol.

We told LO this weekend. I told her Mommy had a baby in her belly. She said I don't want one. But once she heard it was a girl, she was excited. She asked to see my belly, and then says But I can't see her. She was with my parents on Sat and Sat night. She came back on Sunday and they had taken her to Target to pick out an outfit for her baby sister. She is telling everyone, glad we waited to tell her! She told me last night that my belly has to get this big ( I hope not that big) and then she will come out. Then she will hold her and then we will name her. Which is perfect since we aren't going to announce her name till she is here. I also ran to Target this weekend just to get pull-up for LO and came home with a sleeper. The newborn clothes are so tiny!

@Smurfette: Funny her reaction! I look forward to telling the kids and being "out" with them, but their suspicions and intuition, especially with their ages (2 and 3), but I really do think it will be underwhelming, lol.

DD was like "when you eat a lot it means you have a baby in your tummy" and DS was laying on my yesterday (he's a needy snuggle bug) and tried to reach down my top, I asked him what he was doing and he said "see the baby", so I don't get how they are so all over this, lol.

U/S tomorrow! No bleeding as of now, and last day of work today, woo!

@sunnyday: ha! I bet they will be so excited when you tell them. How long are you off work for?
@snowjewelz: Exciting. I can't wait for mine next week.

@snowjewelz: and there was only one! I have to go to the high risk place, so I heard the ultrasounds are much clearer and better. I am going to have them double check she really is a girl!

@Smurfette: Return to work July 25th! I then go into insanity time of year August to end of November, so I am really looking forward to checking out and recharging for Fall!

I looked up pics of my DDs u/s from the 12w scan and got so excited and look forward to hopefully seeing a little being versus a blob this time. I can't find pics from my sons.....second kid problems? lol.

@Smurfette: True, me too! I guess I will make sure to ask at the next scan!

Hey baby.

All good today for u/s. Done bloodwork too and now waiting at doc's office for prenatal appt. excited for weight check in and hopefully hearing hb on doppler.

@Chillybear: me too!

Ok ladies.
Had my 12 week appointment today and wasn't able to find the heartbeat via doppler. We tried twice, with a half hour worth of excessive water drinking and walking in between. My doctor said it's not abnormal to not find it at 12 weeks but gave me a req for an ultrasound tomorrow to calm my nerves. Part of me is super worried and part of me is a little happy for a bonus extra ultrasound.
Anyone have experience with this? It's fine…..right?!? Ugh!

@afishermanswife: I think 12 weeks is early to find on a Doppler. Glad you are getting an ultrasound tomorrow. Keep us posted.

@afishermanswife: glad doc getting you in! My doc is soooo leery about trying on the doppler for this reason, just in case he can't find it! Staying positive for you, update when you can tomorrow, any solid distractions between now and u/s?

@afishermanswife: good luck tomorrow! Keep us posted

I guess send me a fb invite too

We had our NT scan tonight measuring 12w6d (est 12w2d) 162bpm and measurements look good I'll get more results at my next appt on the 13th

@Smurfette: I'm not on the facebook group. I haven't used facebook in months and am debating getting back on it.

@afishermanswife: At my 10 week appointment, the doppler didn't work and they pulled in the ultrasound machine. Everything was perfect.

@sunnyday: @Chillybear: Glad you both had good news.

@chillybear I sent you the link!

@Smurfette The fb group is actually super tiny still! I've been a lame admin between morning sickness and feeling down in the dumps over a bunch of friends dealing with losses in the past few weeks.

I'm excited for you ladies having two girls in a row. That's what we had happen with #1 and #2, and it is so fun. They are 23 months apart, so it was so nice to be able to reuse all the clothes and such!

I can't believe I'm already to 12 weeks! It doesn't feel real. Having some friends suffer losses recently has kind of put a damper on my excitement and confidence that everything is going well with the pregnancy. I'm glad I have an appointment on Thursday and hope to hear a nice, strong heartbeat. I'm still morning sick, so I guess that's a good sign? ;P
