That is cute, but I don't sew, so I'll have to stick with store bought.

How are you doing these days?

I had my 2nd OB appt. on Wednesday. She did a quick ultrasound just to measure the heartbeat since she couldn't pick it up with her doppler, so I got a second peek at the wee one. I'm scheduled for my 1st Trisomy screening ultrasound & bloodwork on the 12th. I'll have the level 2 ultrasound during my 2nd trimester. Had a have a renal (kidney) ultrasound today and the tech saw my little peanut and his/her tiny heart beating away during it.

My insurance company is just going to love me, aren't they?

im doing well..gaining weight though, thats for sure! all i feel like doing is sleeping and eating. i have my first "real" appointment next thursday..i opted out of all the prenatal testing since there are a lot of things that can cause a false alarm.
i am looking for a playpen but i guess they dont sell the regular kind anymore or something so ill have to get one from ebay i guess.

Im 26 weeks along, almost 27 weeks. We are expecting another girl. I got the heartburns, and they are BAD! Morning sickness isn't so bad with this one like my other girls were (oh god, miserable!). Blood pressure is out of control but so far it's as stable as we can get it. Im already getting the short of breathes and dizziness that really shouldn't accure until close to due date but well, this is one big baby. Already, I cannot see my FEET! LOL!

But all in the joy of pregnancy!

new babies are sweet though arent they? i cant wait to get some baby magic for the new little one..that stuff smells so good! i read that they even have baby magic baby powder now.

I got some vintage baby patterns too, but right from the store! They actually still sell the most popular ones from the 50's and 60's. SO cool!

I am hanging in there... I have to call on Monday to see about a non stress test and an ultrasound. My BP went sky high and I am spilling protein so i was diagnosed with preeclampsia. I made the mistake of reading about it on the net and wow it sounds like any second I could spontaneously combust. I am on 75% bedrest (up on my feet 6-8 hours a day at the most)



But the baby is alive, kicking, and every day we get through is a nother good day- I am at 34 weeks. Just two more weeks until we can breathe easy (as in, if they have to deliver the baby should not need NICU care)

This being our fourth, we bought a used co sleeper for the first 6 months- the kind that hook up to the side of the bed. Can't wait!

I'm expecting again too!! I took the test this morning and it was a nice dark pick line immediately!

This is baby #6 for us. I think I should be due between June 13-19ish.

So far my symptoms are no interest in food at all, I realized I only ate breakfast yesterday so I was 99.99% sure I was preggo from that alone. I'm having some growing pains already and I'm tired all day.

I'm so excited to be able to tell someone!! lol

Congrats, sunshineinsc! By "growing pains" are you talking about those round ligament pains that you get when you stand up fast, or cough, sneeze, etc. OWEEE, those things HURT! Mine have gotten better already (11 weeks, 3 days now) but that was one of the first things I noticed when I started suspecting that I was pregnant.

 

[agnes_day]

congratulations!
6 kids...i know how that is, haha!

i tell people that after the 3rd, there really isnt much of a difference.

people never believe me when I say that.

I babysit a little girl and her mom is always asking if she is too much for me. I tell her all the time 'what's one more?' She'll really worry once I tell her I'm preggo. LOL
