Hi, all! It has been awhile! It is good to read up on all of you. I have been feeling good lately and my energy is back so i have been taking the time to clean, do errands and play outside with my daughter and take her for walks. It was 81 yesterday and sunny and such a nice day finally.
Midnightrose, i think it's neat about your cabin. Compost toilets are great. I am an outdoor, camping, hiking, hippy, nature girl and would love to live off grid. My bf doesn't like bugs or outside so i dont get to enjoy much except tge rare moments i sneak off to Hocking Hills, Ohio to relax.
Can't wait to see all the ultrasounds coming up! They,help me with my impatience waiting on mine!
The baby bumps are lovely! Mine has really came since I'm heavier than my dd. Ill try to find a few. I was bloated at 5w with dd and showing at 11w. She is big. 9lbs, 23in at birth. Now at 2 (3/6/16) she is in a size 4 and 5, size 9 shoe. 38lbs, 40 inches. Her daddy is 6'10". I am guessing this baby will be huge as well. Lol.

I just got back from my dating ultrasound!!! Baby looks great and had a heart rate of 172! I should be measuring about 8.5 weeks but measured right at 9 weeks! My due date is teetering between Dec. 5 or 6 haha. My son was 154 @ 8 weeks so I'm hoping with that higher heart rate theory that this one is a girl!!
Whew I'm so relieved to see that everything is in the right place! I was a little nervous yesterday when my nausea dissipated for most of the day but then I threw up this morning haha funny how that works. The gender scan is booked for July 2! It feels so far away.

@SheRiskers. So glad that everything is going along smoothly. That is a high heart rate. Maybe you are right and you are having a girl. Yeah, it does seem like eternity but I am sure it will be here before you know it. I am counting down the days till my ultrasound; 26 more days lol. I am a bit nervous about my doctor's appointment on Monday and whether or not he can find the heartbeat. I assume he will be able to find it as I would be 17 weeks and 4 days by then. I honestly still think it is a boy because they sit lower in the belly.

So glad you saw baby and daw the heart beat sheriskers it's amazing to see isn't it.
Dragonfly23 I'm sure they'll have no problem finding the heartbeat don't forget you're feeling flutters now too :) even if they can't don't panic, they could find my second at 17 weeks,

Oops I pressed submit too soon.

he was hiding, they sent me for an ultrasound and he was perfect :) xxxx

@Lakarmw. Thank you for the reassurance. I feel pulses down below and my belly is still hard. So, in your opinion since you had a boy, could that be why they can't find mine or is it still different for everyone? I honestly think I would cry (of joy) if it turns out I am having a boy as then I would have one of each.

So, every day I ask my hubby if he has told anyone and he keeps telling me no he hasn't; just his brother but he has a tendency to have a big mouth. So, I just asked, can I post my comment on Facebook and he says go ahead. So, I'm still procrastinating. Was going to post it tomorrow as then I would be exactly 17 weeks. Then I thought, should I wait till after my gender ultrasound to change the wording to a he or she or should I just post it tomorrow and then I can let people know after the ultrasound the gender. Thought came to me lol, I think I will post it tomorrow and then when it comes time then I can repost it and change it to a he or she and then change the ultrasound picture. What do you ladies think? I am so nervous about posting it and I can't decide which picture to use. Full body or just the face? (sigh)

I wouldn't like to say.... it was definitely my experience, they never had a problem find my daughter's. Maybe as I'm finding this babys easily it's a girls too who knows hehe.

I think you should go ahead and post it! I think it'll feel like a relief when you do :) xxx

@Lakarmw. Thank you! I will try not to worry about it and just wait till Monday. They found my daughters too pretty easy as well so it makes me think otherwise. I honestly think I would feel better if I send it out earlier rather than later. I had my first bout of dizzyness. Was sitting downstairs with my coworker on coffee break and it hit me. Most weird feeling ever. Good thing I wasn't walking or I might have fainted.

SheRiskers - that's a great heartrate! CONGRATS on having an awesome ultrasound! You must be so relieved to see the baby doing so well!! Are you going to find out what you're having?

Kelliria - I feel like I look so bloated/have bump already... I know it isn't a bump cuz the baby is super super small right now, so it has to be bloat, but it's just awful! NONE of my pants fit me :( idk what I'm going to do, I'm only about 5 weeks along with a really long way to go still LOL

dragonfly23 - I'm sure your u/s will be here before you know it too! I can remember when you were only a few weeks pregnant and now look - you're almost half way there!!!! SO EXCITING! I cannot wait to be that far along! God willing!! Did you post on FB today? I hope so!!! :)

AFM - My symptoms come and go, but I also feel like they're less than they were like 2 weeks ago when I found out... I'm hoping it's just me being a nervous nelly and it's nothing to worry about. I'm going to get 3rd set of bloodwork today after work and will find out those results tomorrow then my first ultrasound is in 8 more days - next Friday and it can't come fast enough!!!! I just want to set my mind at ease and KNOW this baby is okay and growing on schedule. Part of me doesn't have a good feeling and part of me is trying to say to myself "think positive" stay positive and it's all gonna be okay this time. It is SO HARD to try to relax and stay calm and positive after having 2 losses. I know many woman have had many more losses than that, but for me it's so hard! Anyone else in same shoes as me? How are you coping? I think I'll feel better after seeing/hearing HB and after first trimester.

@BB2018. Not yet, but I am nervous as hell lol. It's all prepared to be copied and pasted. Think I will post it at noon so about 55min and really don't want to send it.
