It's such an amazing feeling, isn't it. I've been feeling her/him for a few weeks now and it's great to feel that connection- that is until your bladder, kidneys, stomach, ribs get kicked for the x-teenth time. But for right now, it's magical.

Agreed! I sent DH a message about me being able to feel it and he responds was "I want to feel it!" - Poor guy was a little bummed when I told him that he isn't going to be able to feel it for a little while longer.

On another note, I had an appointment today! Doctor says that I am moving along just fine, size and weight wise. She did say that I need to put on more weight though, better than I was doing at least. She was like "I know you eat tons of fruits and veggies, but could you splurge just a little for me? We don't want you to gain just to gain, but a little splurging would help you with your weight even if you continue to eat your heart out in the good stuff"

Anywhooo, heart rate was between 151 - 155 and boyyy was he/she active this morning! Doctor asked if I had anything super sugary this morning for breakfast because the little monster would not stay still!

Ugh. And they drew more blood. I'm getting tired of the needle pokes

But what can ya do!?
June 22nd we find out the sex... I'm dying here!

For those of you ladies having issues with peeing- its never too late, or too early, to do Kegal excersizes! Im not going to go into the hows of those (may be too graphic for a family friendly site) but please check it out online. I know these kinds of things can be a hush-hush subject, but they are reality for us women, now and later in life. Its so important to do all we can now for our bodies to help them be stronger later in life.

If you are having troubles now, it can indicate bladder/urinary incontinence issues later in life (read: Depends, anyone???) so strong pelvic muscles are pretty important, especially since pregnancy beats the hell outta our pelvic floor. Not saying they prevent all leaking, but they will help keep you in shape for delivery and help you later in life with any bladder leaking issues.

So far, I am on baby # 6 and have not had any accidents, ever. BUT, I have always, always done Kegal excercises. I started while pregnant with my first baby, and I even do them the day of delivery. I really think they are why I havent had any issues with leaking when laughing, sneezing, or barfing. Not that things cant change at any moment though! I do have to be pretty vigilant in the last month to keep things where they belong!!!

Of course, now that Ive shared this, I will probably pee my pants while shopping today in front of a large crowd and my kids (who will NEVER let me forget it!!!

) !!

I was a little behind on this thread. For some reason I haven't been getting any notifications.

So I just unsubscribed and then re-subscribed in hopes that it will be fixed. But I am caught up now and rather than responding to every post that I wanted to, I will just issue the shorthand version. So here goes.....

I agree with Suzettex5 -- Kegels are a good idea for any woman, any age. You can also do kegels the fun way...if you want more information just PM me. LOL

So here is my update:

I got a call from my Dr. office at 8 this morning and the nurse told me that when she arrived at work this morning she was shocked to see different test results than I had recieved from yesterday. My hCG was 162 but my progesterone was only 10..that was yesterdays reading. Today she told me they gave her a different paper and my hCG was still 162 but my progesterone was a very low of 6!!!

She told me she was really angry they didn't give this information to her yesterday. Quote from her: "if I had seen the Lab Tech that put that on my desk this morning I would have strangled her". LOL she was really angry and really worried about my pregnancy. So I went in for a 2cc shot of Progesterone right in my hip. I have to take the injections every 3 days for the durration of my first trimester and then I can stop. Also i have to continue the oral Progesterone therapy too. I will go in a week from today to have blood work done to see if my levels are more appropriate and they may or may not adjust my progesterone depending on those results.

...my husband is trying so hard to get out of having to give me shots at home LOL.

 

[Ms.FuzzyButts]

It worked!! I got a notification..

I agree about the kegels also, and doing them the fun way makes it less boring.

Hugs to you Jamie.. I sure hope the shots get it straight and that you wont have to keep taking them!

Oh my goodness...I love them all! I don't need any baby shower items since this is our second and I'm about to pop; however, we are doing a farm theme for my DD's 2nd birthday in September (she LOVES farm animals), and some cupcake toppers of chickens and cows would be fantastic. Are you able to ship them?
