wonder where Mirka is... we haven't heard from her in days... feels like months...

Mirka,
where are you? please stop chasing your cows and come here with an update!!!

[annie]

Hi January ladies - I'm on the Feb. thread but was hoping you Jan. girls could answer something. I have a dd who will be 6 in October, needless to say it was a while ago & I just don't remember.....whey did you start to pop out?? I am 10 weeks today & I don't think it was before 12 but really can't remember. Of course I worry about everything & am thinking should it be happening soon?? I can feel my uterus expanding upward but not out. It is hard to sleep on my stomach too but I still want to. I find myself waking up always on my back. I've definatley gained weight but it is "me" wt. not "baby" weight as far as I can tell.

I keep up with your Jan. thread & love all the stories, lists & updates!

Thanks.

Its starting to itch more than usual now…I bought some bio oil http://www.bio-oil.info/en/home when i was in Ireland. I use it everyday even though, genetically I shouldn’t have problems with stretch marks but you never know!

Hi Annie- I think I started to really show at around 12 weeks

[havanajims]

Annie-
I think I "popped out" 8dp5dt. or maybe the day I poas. HAHA. I looked 4 months pregnant at 6 weeks. I think it was because they got so many eggs out of me during the ER., and my ovaries were so swollen. Before I looked very bloated, but now I look obviously pregnant. I am not too big now, I just think Ive changed shapes from looking bloated to pregnant. Some of us in the January thread have grown at differnt rates so Im sure they will pipe in too. I know everyone is different, so dont try to stress over it too much. My OB just told me that every woman grows at different rates. Ok? Good luck! I hope you are feeling great!

Everyone's so busy this morning I can't keep up and work. Stop calling me clients... I have important internet buddies to check in on

Robin - I vote for the texting Havana so we're not all in agony all night. I'm hoping you break our ICSI boy trend!

Boston - I feel so bad for you with the hip. Definitely see if they can get you into some PT to help the muscles stretch a little more gradually.

Cat - I love cheese too! Could eat it with every meal right now. I even did mozarella sticks as my app. for dinner last night!

MM - Pink uggs! I know they are adorable. I saw them at the store last week and was drooling. I can't wait to see all your baby pics.

Nathalie - I'm really glad to hear the pain is a little better today and you're going to have an u/s on Thursday. There must be some words of advice the OB can give you.

Bri- I'm glad everything turned out all right with your NT results.

Mirka oh Mirka where are you??? Birthing calves??

Maybebaby - Hope you had fun at Babies R Us.

Joy - Check in with us too and let us know how you are feeling.

Hope I didn't miss anyone in my rush to reply before all of you post 2 more pages of messages!

To answer the electrodes question, I'm supposed to wear them for a week and only take them off to shower. I'm not going to complain too much till we find out if Joy has to wear them too I'll show them off to Havana tomorrow. I did manage to catch my palpatations yesterday (I have to hit record on the pager) so I may just do it for another day or so. I've got to wear a strapless dress for my big wedding (finally) on Saturday and don't want all the electrode sticker rash everywhere. I know - the doctors are going to hate me...

Watch out Atlanta! Havana and I are hitting the stores tomorrow! We'll have lots to report back. I'm dragging her around town to show her some of the top spots. We're determined to find boy bedding that we like tomorrow.

MaggieMay- I WANT YOUR SHOES!! They sound fantastic!

Maybebaby- Thank you for your kind words. Yes, my tummy itches once in awhile. I am using cocoa butter. My mom used to use the stuff. I am totally jealous of the fact that you are not genetically inclined to having stretch marks. I think I was born with a couple on my bb's.

Cat- I hear you on the cheese thing! I am glad I am not the only one. Went to Pizza Hut today and got a personal pan cheese pizza. Devoured the entire thing. Too cute you having a mouse! I cracked up.

Robin- I was only asking if it was ICSI because I remember Mirka posting about the higher chance of having boys with it. So we are all dying to know what you are having!!

Shelly- Hi! In reference to your question that was about ICSI, they say higher chance for boys. I had it done too.

Annie- Hello! I started showing at 12 weeks, but don't go by me. Somewhere underneath the mashed potatoes, cheese, pasta & bread belly is a baby. So really I have always had a belly!

JustPeachy- The stores are going to be thrilled with having you & Havana in their midst. Have fun!!

Nathalie

OK... I just ran home to post on behalf of Robin & Havana... it was like a game of telephone today!! Robin texted Havana, Havana was stuck at the office and called me, and I ran home to post before the 9-5 crew leaves.

So the big news is....

A BOY!!!!

Yep, Robin is following our ICSI trends!

[Rob&Irina]

it's a BOY!!! it's a boy!!! we are so happy!!!!!!
PS: Go Panthers!!!

[MaggieMay75]

I had a feeling it was a boy for Robin!!! Hooray!!!!! Thanks Peachy for posting the big news!!! You and Havana are quite the team! There really must be something to ICSI and boys.

I wish I was in Georgia so I could go shopping with you two tomorrow...

Cat - I am cracking about you and cheese! I normally love cheese but alas am still in my neverending fruit phase. This week it's apples, the colder and crisper the better. I went out on a limb and had a piece of cheesecake this weekend and according to DH was moaning in my sleep all night because of my upset stomach! Oh well, I tried.

Joy - Hope you're doing better. Thinking of you during this busy time and hope the fainting has stopped!

Whose next for their level 2 u/s?

MM - we'll miss you shopping tomorrow. Wish you were here too!

[iluvmy2mutts]

Yeahhhhhhhhh Robin!!! Congratulations!! I just got on to check to see what you are having. So happy for you!! I see lots of blue on this thread.

Way to go Havana & JustPeachy!! You guys should go into the business of posting messages.

Nat

[shb24]

Congrats Robin!! This is great news!!!!

[havanajims]

I feel like Im spoiling the fun going for my scan so early compared to Boston and Robin. My test is Thursday at 4:00 EST. My mom is coming in for the occasion. SHe has 5 grandchildren already, (from my 2 sisters), but she's never seen an ultrasound before, so she's in for a treat! The good news is, if the scan is too early, I get to have another one. HAHA!!! I totally know how to "work it".

THanks for posting Robin's results, Peach!

CONGRATS ROBIN! Did you guys blow out a huge sigh of relief or what?? Wait, and did I just hear "GO PANTHERS". OH gosh, I think baby's first outfit is going to be a football outfit.
Look a baby blanket!

[cat915]

Congrats Robin! Well, this is why i'm not a psychic! Now you can start registering Did you pick out any boy stuff yet? I bought my little boy this outfit from nordstrom's sale: Ralph Lauren Tip Piqué Coveralls (Infant) - Infant Boy - Nordstrom.com -- see picture attached.


Peachy & Havana- can't wait to hear about the baby bedding that you're looking at! I guess you'll be going again next week after the scans? And Havana, your dr sounds great. My refuses to do the level 2 u/s before 18 1/2 weeks (and I already know i'm having a boy!)

MM- I didn't get a chance to go out and buy shoes but the boutique next to where we had dinner had these in the window and I LOVE them in red!
