Hellobee Boards

So the scan was long...I think everything is ok, but they don't tell you anything which is really annoying! I should hear back on Thurs or Fri. Dylan was squirming a ton (which he always does) so it was hard for her to get what she needed. After an hour, she brought another lady in that she called "The Baby Whisperer." She literally repeated almost the entire ultrasound but just much more quickly. I hope that still means everything is ok. I saw 4 chambers in the heart...the brain looked good to me...and definitely all limbs and parts are in place.

@birdofafeather: I sent a message to join the google doc. My e-mail is mkc(rest of last name) @gmail

@eiko2010: Yes, that makes two girls for me! They'll be 18 months apart so hopefully BFFs

Baby Girl is measuring a little big...20W 5 days on most measurements and I just completed 19 weeks yesterday. Doesn't think there is anything to worry about just said MD will do another scan later on if she is nervous about it. I was really surprised by this since I haven't gained any weight yet.

@Mrs Green Grass: I love the name Dylan - so glad your scan went well!

@Pipers Mommy: that is so sweet your girls are so close!!!

Our scan is at 2:30 today so prayers would be appreciated!! We are excited! Little one gave DH 7 kicks to the hand last night when he/she was wiggling around!

@Pipers Mommy: i hope she/he (so ready to stop saying that!) will be a busy babe at our appointment! thank you!!!

@kayakgirl73: Congrats on a little girl!

Wow lots of girls!!!

@coacheswife123: Fingers crossed for you! GOOD LUCK!

@shoemama: neti pot and tea?

@shoemama: Did you talk to your OB? I had a horrible cold about a month ago. My PCP wrote me a script for a nasal spray but of course the only one approved in pregnancy is not covered by my insurance and would have cost me $150 out of pocket. So the phamacist told me that most OBs are ok with sudafed (the real stuff behind the counter). I called my OB and she did say it is ok, for a few days, to break up the congestion. It helped TREMENDOUSLY.

@Pipers Mommy: It makes me feel a lot better knowing that you haven't gained any weight. I haven't either, and I keep thinking that I should've by now. I'm eating what I feel like is enough... not dieting or anything. But I don't have a huge appetite, usually, either. Has your dr. raised any concerns about lack of weight gain?

Its a BOY! We are thrilled!!!

@Rescuemom10: @oliviaoblivia: Thank you ladies! I'm so happy!

@dagret: thank you ! cannot wait to hear from your scan. work was miserable for me today and they even called and moved my appointment up because of the weather from the hurricane! Let us hear from you!

@pinkb: wait, you can't take extra strength Tylenol?? I didn't even know they made the regular kind anymore... I try not to take any meds regardless, but this is good to know just in case.

@pinkb: I take Tylenol & a coke when I get a migraine (I've had 2). My doctor never mentioned anything about extra strength. I would think if it's not often, it's ok. I just only take meds when I HAVE to.

I am in awe of all of you who haven't gained weight! I've gained over 12 pounds, not exactly sure what my starting weight was since I didn't see OB until 9 weeks and I feel huge!!! I've been nearly the same weight for like 10 years so it's kind of hard for me even though I know it's pretty normal. (My sis gained weight along about the same timelines during her pregnancy.) I imagine we'll all pretty much even out towards the end...

@coacheswife123: Yay for another boy!

@pinkb: @allison: my OB okay'd extra strength tylenol as long as I didn't go over the recommended amount. I had horrible headaches for about a month and usually took 2 pills every other day !
