New "Mom's to Be" Thread!

[FormrCastMbr]

Glad to hear everything is going well. When is the second part scheduled?

---------------------------------------------

Tomorrow is a scary day for me. We are going to be having an ultrasound to check for viability. I'll be 7 weeks. It was at exactly 7 weeks last time that we found out the baby's heart wasn't beating anymore so I'm very nervous. I haven't had any problems so far so I know I should be optimistic but it's tough. Today is going to be the longest day ever.

Thank you. I go next week for the last blood test for the screening.

I'll say a prayer that all goes well for you tomorrow.

Just remember the odds are absolutely on your side!

We, too, just got our NT Screening test results back -- everything is normal!!! woo hoo!! So we are not going to do an amnio.

The Maternal Fetal Associates however, do want to continue to watch me since I'm 38yo -- but I'll take more ultrasounds of baby!

 

[ADAMANDLISA]

I didn't have the mirror with the other 2, but I'm going to try it TOMORROW.

Yep, tomorrow is the big day, it's official!

Congratulations!!! I hope all goes well tomorrow! Let us know how your little man is!

I had some good news today. The first part of my first trimester screening came back and so far everything looks A.O.K! I had the NT ultrasound too and that was good. Now for the second part and the Amnio...

Congratulations!

Good luck tomorrow! You will feel so much better when it is over. Mine was 6 1/2 weeks to make it past and then to make it past 32.

Thanks so much everyone! I'll be sure to update you all when I get home.

 

[ADAMANDLISA]

Good luck today Jennifer! Hopefully you already got the call and are in your room!!!

Just got back from my ultrasound. Everything looks great!! The baby is measuring 2 days ahead and the heartbeat is at around 140 beats per minute! Such a relief. My next appointment isn't until after our Disney trip, so now I can just relax and enjoy myself!

Jennifer: I hope everything is going well!

Sounds fantastic!


DVCsince02, I hope the baby is here soon!

Still no room at the inn. I'm trying again tomorrow.

How frustrating! Sorry sweetie... I hope they can get you in tomorrow!

 

[bkreitzel]

ok...so can anyone tell me how to add one of those baby tickers? and make a cute signature like y'all have w/ the kidlets and their ages?

Wow! The doctor's at your hospital must be tired!

Keep us updated! We're all pulling for you!

I will try and help, but I have to warn you, I've been in a lot of pain for two days and it doesn't help me think straight!


As for the kids and ages, start off by going to User CP in the upper right hand corner.....then, under "Control Panel" select "Edit Signature".

You can then type whatever you want and add little characters (in case you don't know where they're at, click on more and an entire page of smilies will come up).

At any time, you can hit "Preview Signature" and it will show you how it's going to look.


As far as the ticker, most of us have the one off baby-gaga.

www.baby-gaga.com

Under Pregnancy, click on "custom ticker". Plug in your info, decide which one you want, then it gives you a couple of choices .

Choose the 2nd one "BBCODE" and hit select and copy.

Go back to your User Cp, to your signature and paste it in. Use the preview to make sure it worked right and then save your siggy!


I hope this helps!

I am getting a baby shower i wasn't expecting. My cousin calls last week and says " now that we got jason marrried off it time to concentrate on other important things like your shower" I wasn't expecting a baby shower so i'm like cool. My cousin had triplets a year ago and 1 was a girl so she will be giving me her old clothes, she gave me an extra car seat, a bouncer seat and a playcenter. Which is funny cause when she was little she got all my old clothes and toys we've gone full circle.

I'm happy for you!!! That's pretty funny how you all end up with everyone else' things.

My sis had 2 boys (we had a girl... not sure what this one will be yet) but she already got rid of all her things.

 

[ADAMANDLISA]

Good luck again today Jennifer!!! Hope you get a bed!

Oh no! I hope today's the day!

Thanks Lisa. What is going on that you are in pain? Is everything okay? Not sure what I missed.
Somehow, I, not my kidlets mind you, ME!, I have pink-eye and some sort of awful cold. Ugh. We have family portraits scheduled for Saturday so I hope I can be over this by then!
Thanks for the help w/ the signature, I am so happy to have that added in!
Currently, I am driving myself nuts trying to figure out the babys room. For some reason I am resisting using my old stuff...which is so dumb so I am battling it out in my head. I love the organic butterfly rug on pottery barn kids and the white butterfly silhouettes for the walls....but it seems silly to start over ....especially since this is another girl
Hope everyone has a fantastic day.

This is peak time for my cervical troubles and I started having BH contractions, cramping and pressure....so I headed for my doc's office the other day. So far so good, but the baby was head down and putting a ton of pressure on me. Feels like he is trying to push his way out already!

Feeling much better today though!



I'm in the same boat you are, just a different color! I'm definitely, maybe, going to reuse DS#2's crib bedding, etc. I made DS#1's myself and bought the other one. It seems like such a waste of money...you don't use the comforter, bumper pads have restrictions and the sheets that come with them are never soft enough. So I basically paid over $200 for 2 valences and a bed skirt.


Oh no! Pinkeye! Sounds like you have my kind of luck! Hope it goes away in time for pics!
