Nelson and Jenn's wonderful journey...

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

Hmm. Weight in the front might mean it is a boy. Everyone I know who has had a girl has gotten very wide. Everyone I know who has had boys carried them all out in front. When I was full term with DS I still had a waist if you looked at me from the back. In the front I looked like I was trying to shoplift a beach ball.

Here is a fun little game for you:
Put Nelson's wedding band on a piece of string and hold it over your belly. If it swings back and forth, boy. If it swings in a circle, girl.

I carried both of mine waaaaay out front (did not look pregnant from the back--was asked multiple times if i was having twins--not a nice thing to do BTW--by people who could see from the front). No naussea with either I a mstarting to put two and two together--no wonder my kids are so messed up!! We've always said they are "backwards kids" DD is the black belt, with little interest in fashion, jewlry, manicures, etc. DS is the ballet dancer who loves fashion, begs his sister to paint his nails all the time, etc. They are all mixed up because I did not have the "right" pregnancy symptoms

Okay TuckandStuiesmom--diaper blow outs in Lederhosen is NOT a visual I needed Maybe I'll jsut send a German felt hat instead

 

[Saxton]

Awwww, you're not???

Cancel the male dancers, women! Wally's not coming!

We're still having the girl dancer though, aren't we?

Jenn - I'm glad you posted an update. I've been thinking about you but I didn't want to starting bugging you ... except about the name ... Sue is still good for a boy or a girl!

 

[DVC~OKW~96]

Absolutely Saxon! Actually, we are having Middle Eastern dancers. Since there is strong evidence that their form of dancing came into being for the pleasure of women, and to distract the woman in labor! I think it will be quite appropriate.

So then... ROOOOOSSSIE!!! You're on for the cake dear!

Jenn, I'm sure you know that ginger is good for nausea too.

Hope you are feeling well and staying OFF the ice and snowy walkways!

 

[jenn&nelsonrego]

Ohhhh! I love Middle Eastern dancing! It is so beautiful!!!

 

[rosiep]

for starters

 

[wallyb]

oh Virtual Shower ... I'll come to that.
Don't we need a new thread for that?

Yes we do!

 

[NHdisneylover]

mmm nice cake

 

[PrincessKsMom]

Sorry, I misunderstood. I thought Rosie was going to be ON the cake.

 

[rosiep]

Sorry, I misunderstood. I thought Rosie was going to be ON the cake.

If you'd like I can make that happen......

 

[PrincessKsMom]

If you'd like I can make that happen......

I guess all the double entendres on this board and the talk of dancers at the shower just sent my thoughts in the wrong direction. Somehow I pictured you jumping out of the cake.

 

[DVC~OKW~96]

Oooh! Jenn! It's great that you like Middle Eastern dance!

Umm, ya'll? Rosie did say her pretty little cake was for starters. Once the party gets going, and the dancer start wiggling... you never know what will happen.

WallyB I'm not so sure you are invited now. If Jenn forgives you then, perhaps.

Okie dokie! Ultrasound is less than 2 hours!

and all at the same time.

This one is an external though so I have to go and chug 32 oz of water and HOLD IT! How I am going to do that is beyond me. They better take me in by my appointment time or I have every intention of dropping my pants in the waiting room and peeing right there.

I wish they could just be all internals (I am so used to them from the fertility ride)... They can see much better, hear the heartbeat clearer... I just don't understand the point of an external... I can't see why torturing a pregnant woman by making her hold 32 ounces of fluid in her bladder is a good thing.

OK. Need to go pee and get to chugging... I need to have all 32 oz in by 3p.m.

Will let you know how everything goes!

It is practice for when the baby gets bigger and sits on your bladder and you feel like you have 32 ounces in there ALL THE TIME

Enjoy seeing your little one today. I am hoping for posted photos when I get up in the morning. Also, I am loving your ticker--I know how long you waited and how much you wanted to put that up. I saw it on another thread and had to stop myself from commenting on it there.

 

[Saxton]

Good luck Jenn ... and tell them not to press too hard. So are we going to see pictures of little Sue later today (remember, it works for a boy or a girl!)?

 

[rosiep]

If the child is naked then surely you'll know it's taking after Auntie Rosie.

When I was pregnant with DS my boss was watching my u/s video. My little charge was about 2.5 years old. She was staring at the gray mass on the screen.
Her mom said "That's the baby!"
She was quiet for a minute, then she said "Oh, look! He's wearing little shorts!"
Obviously she wasn't any better at reading the u/s than the rest of us!

How'd it go?

This one is an external though so I have to go and chug 32 oz of water and HOLD IT! How I am going to do that is beyond me. They better take me in by my appointment time or I have every intention of dropping my pants in the waiting room and peeing right there.

When I did my IVF transfers (i.e. the inserting of the embryos) they had to use an external u/s WHILE inserting a whole lot of internal stuff too. One of the docs said, "please try to warn me so that I can get out of the way if you're going to pee." I figure it must be a job hazard.

I wish they could just be all internals (I am so used to them from the fertility ride)... They can see much better, hear the heartbeat clearer... I just don't understand the point of an external... I can't see why torturing a pregnant woman by making her hold 32 ounces of fluid in her bladder is a good thing.

It's actually about what they're trying to see. The internal u/s works well for most people when they're trying to measure follicle sizes because the heavy ovaries float down so that they are low and close to the internal probe. Once you pass a certain point in your pregnancy this advantage disappears.

Filling your bladder allows the external u/s to travel a longer distance, but, it also (usually) straightens out your uterus which improves their pictures.

(Can you tell I've spent too much time in the Fertility clinic?)

Saying a little prayer that everything went well today.
