    Hi everybody,

    I had my first OB appt today (8w4d) and we are so happy because we actually heard a heartbeat on the doppler! My next appt will be 12 weeks and at that point my doc should order a sonogram. This will also be our last appt in Kansas before the big move. I was feeling so nervous about a lack of symptoms lately so hearing that little heartbeat was such a blessing!

    hey ladies, just wanted to check-in and, unfortunately, ask that you take me off the list. i had a d&e on monday after finding out at 11 weeks that i had a missed miscarriage.

    thank you for all of your support up until now, and i can't wait to see all of your beautiful little ones in july (i'm a july baby myself, so i'm a little partial haha)

    @runnerd thanks for adding the appointments

    i think i notice a little bump forming! tried to button my larger pair of skinny jeans this morning and just couldn't. can't even zip all the way and it hurts a bit if i try to suck in eeekkk!

    blogger / persimmon / 1225 posts

    @runnerd: Yes! I'll be telling basically all my good friends in the Chicago area after our trip home to see family in MN/ND. And now my mom is excited to tell more people too! Just not doing FB for a while longer... how about you?

    @littleredhairedgrl: Nice, I can't wait for a real bump and not just feeling bloated and gross, haha.

    @princessandthebee: we've already told immediate family, but will be announcing to extended family after our next appt on the 26th

    Just thought of a question that I need to ask the group!

    Anyone going team green??? I absolutely will NOT be team green - I can't even make it to Christmas without giving DH his presents, so no surprises in our house!!

    I'm always amazed by people who can do team green, and it's not something that causes anxiety for them lol

    @runnerd: nope! No way!

  22. Mrs. Cookie

    blogger / persimmon / 1225 posts

    @runnerd: Way too freaking excited to find out, and I'm sort of partial to a specific gender (sex) and I'm a type-A freak who loves to plan! No team green here!

    @princessandthebee: Congrats on your appointment! We just had our first appointment too (at 8 wks 3 days) and it went really well. We got to have an ultrasound and see the baby and the Dr printed up photos for us. Everything looks really good so far - apparently he/she is right on track in terms of size and development so apparently that's a good sign. I'm still terribly nervous for the 12 week scan though! Good luck to you!!

    @princessandthebee: totally agree, I will be wanting to buy stuff and get ready!

    @runnerd: We're team green! We figure we want everything to buy to be as gender neutral as possible anyway so we can use it for future babies.

    And! We had our first ultrasound this morning. Baby is measuring at exactly 9 weeks, has a 171 bpm heart rate and was dancing all around.

    Is anyone going to ask the ultrasound tech to guess the sex at the NT scan? I won't go buying pink or blue based on it but I think it would be fun for them to guess.

    @runnerd we are def finding out the sex! i need to be able to plan, otherwise i'll go nuts!

    @mrsjansson i will def ask!!

  29. NorCalWayfarer

    nectarine / 2134 posts

    @runnerd: Definitely finding out the sex! I think we'll already be super overwhelmed at the birth! I'm hoping we still get a lot of gender neutral gear/clothes even when we find out the sex so we can use for future LOs.

    @runnerd: My appointment went well. I actually had the NT ultrasound last friday and then a regular appt with my ob yesterday. Everything looks good I love seeing the little one moving around in there! Our next appt is January 9th. She still wants me to come in every 2 weeks since I'm high risk.

    @justdarling: Glad to hear the appt went well!

    Anyone else break down and get maternity clothes? I bought a pair of maternity jeans from ON and they are divine! I have a couple of other pairs of pants that still fit fine, but my jeans were getting uncomfortable in the waist band so I broke down yesterday and bought a pair of the full panel maternity jeans. Probably a little early, but darn are they comfortable!

    @justdarling: yay! Exciting to see movement!

    @NorCalWayfarer: I haven't yet, but I got a Target giftcard for Christmas that I'm saving and trying to make it to 12 weeks to buy some comfy pants. Currently just living in leggings and tunics!

    Okay guys, I'm like... Way late to the party, but I'm new to the bee so I wanted to jump on this board. Hope that's okay!

    EDD:July 18, 2014

    When Did You Find Out?: We got our BFP November 8th. We thought initially I was 9 weeks at the time, but I have super irregular cycles so I ended up being 4 weeks exactly when I took the test.

    Child Number: Our first!

    Where You Live:Wilmington, NC

    What kind of provider will you see?:OB/GYN

    When's Your First Appointment?:my first appointment was 11/15. It ended up being a pretty scary visit- they thought I might be miscarrying because of the discrepancy between what I was measuring and my last period, even though I did areas my cycles were weird. I also appeared to have a Septate uterus, so I'm classified high risk. I've had three ultrasounds so far, and on the last one the issue had completely vanished- total miracle, but I'm still being monitored so I have my next u/s on the 2nd then yet another on the 10th.

    What kind of birth do you want?: a safe and uncomplicated one!

    What You're Most Excited For:seeing my husband become the amazing father I know he will be. Also, quitting my awful terrible job.

    What You're Most Scared About: affording everything.

    Symptoms so far: nausea, touch and go appetite, dizzyness, trouble sleeping, and crazy hormones.... It hasn't been pleasant so far!

    Share a picture of your bfp, announcement, &/or chart: I want to share our announcement but it's not giving me the option to attach a photo!

    @NorCalWayfarer: I really, really need some maternity clothes...I've been holding off since I hate trying them on! My body looks so weird right now.
