The flashlight dance

Ever put a flashlight to your belly ? Try it now if your baby is over 22 weeks. My little guy moved away from the light... think he turned away cause I could only get movement from him for a few seconds, it was cool though.
He is getting big. I am starting to look pregnant rather than just fat.

Anyone have a good bre.ast feeding book for me to look over? All of our classes though our hospital are all full or no longer available. go figure. I wanted to do a sibling one where they toured the hospital but with all the H1.N1 stuff they cancelled the tours until the flu season has subsided.
IN other note, thye changed the visitors policy at my hospital because of the H1.N1 too.. my daughter will not be allowed to come and see me or her baby brother unless they lift the restrictions.

IT"S A BOY

I dont have any pictures to post but we found out our little one is going to be a little man. We are excited. I must admit I had a little bit of disappointment because I wanted to have another little girl to be able to dress up so cute and all.. but that only lasted around 10 minutes. I am looking forward to having a little boy because it will be a new adventure.
He looks good in the ultrasounds and they moved my due date up to March 4th instead of march 12. We shall see.

SO , now the next thing for me is... circumsIs0n. Anyone out there that reads this .. did you get it done to your son?I'm kind of on the fence with it. I think I am more closer to getting it done.. but have not completely decided yet.

16 W 6 d.

Sorry I have been off here for a while. Everything is fine.. baby is fine. i heard the heartbeat at the last appointment, and am going in on the 5th for another appointment. Hoping to get an ultrasound for this one.. if so we may find out what the baby is. I'm excited and nervous.

I got sick last week and the doc took me off work for 4 days. I had the norovirus, also known as a horrible stomach bug. I lost 3 more pounds.. so now I have lost 6 pounds since I found out I was pregnant. Doc isn't worried since I wasn't a skinny minnie when I started this journey anyways.

Will update more maybe next week, but we are alos taking out little one to Disneyland, and we are telling her about the baby this next week too. :)

11 weeks today

well, I am 11 weeks today. I am feeling good. I am still a bit tired but other than that I am doing good. No more nausea.. :) I am feeling some stretching feelings usually towards the end of the day, and I think that is just the baby getting bigger.
Our next appointment is Sept 8th and I am looking forward to hearing the heart beat. :)

Uck.. Colds in the summer are no fun

I think I wore myself out the last few days because I now have a nasty cold. I started having a sore throat on Monday but thought it was the smoke from all the fires surrounding us. Well, now it's a full blown cold. Starting to go into my lungs today and making it hard to breathe today.

Think the fact that my mom was here on Monday and I stayed up til midnight and got up at 5 on Tuesday isnt helping. Then on Tuesday night I had to do some reports for work so stayed up til 12 and then Miss Mee's woke up at 5 again so I havent gotten much sleep at all. I called in sick for either the full day or partial day today, so I am going to sleep. sleep sleep.

First ultrasound. 8-10-09

First ultrasound. 8-10-09

10 wk... correction.. 9 weeks 4 days

We had our first appointment yesterday. She didn't try to find the heart beat because she says I am too early to be able to find it. ( i read up on it and it is probably because I am a big girl and it is hard for them to find it in big girls early on) But we did get to do a ultrasound.. ( internal one.. :O) and we saw the baby and the heart beating nice and strong. It is measuring 9weeks 4 days so my due date has changed from March 7th to March 12th.
Doc said everything looked good.. and she went over my family history which I dont have much of.. my family is pretty healthy// and then we talked about the donor history. What his profile indicated.
I will try to post the ultrasound pic as soon as I can figure out how to put it on here!
So we have another appointment on Sept 8th. Should be hearing the heart beat then. :)

10 Weeks.

10 Weeks today. I feel good. I am tired alot and thirsty,, and must admit a bit moody, but overall I feel good. I think I am starting to show a bit and E does too.
We go to the doctor on Monday for our first OB appointment. So hopefully we will be able to see and hear the heartbeat. I'll post the pic of the ultra sound if I can .

7 weeks

Well I am now 7 weeks. Not much really to say other than . my god when am I going to not feel like I am dragging all day long. My pants are getting a little tighter and I have not gained any weight. My mom got me all nervous that maybe I have twins in there since I did take Cl.0m.id. I just said thats mom.

I havent had much sickness but noticed that I do feel worse at night when I am tired and especially after I take my pre-natal but i go straight to bed so it goes away ( or I just sleep through it).

3 more weeks until first appointment.

Evian babies.

THIS IS SO CUTE!!!

Babies Babies everywhere.

I met with some friends from my last employer today for Sushi, and it was great. Ever since I started working there, we pretty much talked about having babies the whole time. well I am number four of the original four to get pregnant, and we also had another friend come in and work with us a bit later who is also pregnant now. 3 out of the four have girls. I'm thinking my luck of having a girl may be a little slim ,, what do you think? I know that the people around me do not determine the sex of the baby but it seems quite unreal if all 4 of us have baby girls. Oh well if I have a boy he will have lots of girlfriends to play with :)
the babies are going to be well spread out in ages too. one is 3 months, one is 3 weeks, one is due in 3 weeks and mine due in 9 months. so they will be close in age. It's going to be fun,

5 weeks 3 days

Today I felt great.. no real nausea.. and not as tired. I jsut can't believe I still have to wait 5 more weeks to see the doctor. I want to see the baby and see that it is developing normally. I know right now all we would see would be a little blob anyways. Just hope the 5 weeks go by kind of fast.
Think we are going to go to Disneyland in October and tell our daughter then. We were thinking of keeping it from her til Christmas but I am sure we cannot keep it from her that long. Plus I would like to have her go to the appointment in which we find out if the baby is a boy or girl and when we do the 3d/4d ultrasound.
So.. baby showers... do you just have one big one.. that is family and friends and work people.. oor do you do a work one. family one and friends one? I am thinking I should just do a big one to have everyone go all at the same time.

I am stillin shock.. excited too . :)

Thirsty

I have been alot more thirsty the last few days. Like I could not get enough water. !!!

BTW- Please read

Anyone who reads this.. please do not talk to me about it on Facebook, or Myspace( I'm never on myspace anyways) . Not planning on telling IRL for a while. THANKS :)

Shall I say more?

I am 5 weeks today. I am thrilled, scared shitless and tired. Very tired. Does it stay this way forever!!!

Took a pregnancy test last Friday.. on the 26th and it was a BFN. I went to a party in San Francisco, and just tried to relax and forget about the test. On Sunday, E said "maybe we were just early.. lets test again" so sure enough on the 30th ( E's birthday) I tested with the digital ones ( one came out blank?????) and PREGNANT popped up pretty fast. I left the second one i took on the counter ( I got up at 6am to use the restroom and took it then. ) E went in there later to take a shower and saw it. I seriously did not even look because I was sure that it was going to be a negative anyways, and I was tired and wanted to go back to bed. So it was a nice surprise for E.

I went to the doctor to have my progesterone tested, and they of course did a blood pregnancy test. Came back positive ( phew) and my progesterone is fine. :) So our first visit is not until August.

All in all I have felt good. I am really tired.. feel like I could sleep for an additional 10 hours... and the heat really gets to me faster.. so I am thanking God for giving us such a nice summer here this year. Mid to upper 80's is heaven to me. :) Please keep it that way. :)

3dpi

nothing realy to report other than a big bout of bloatedness.. going to the doc on the 16th for a progesterone test.. will tell me where my progesterone is at.

New News..

Ok I am on CD 13 of my next cycle. That means that the last month was a negative. No pregnancy.. yet.

Now today I am CD13 but was positive OPK's on Thursday .. so we tried thursday night and friday afternoon. we shall see.

I had to take Clo.Mid this cycle to help my chances of ovulation.

Taking the tank back to Berkeley today. Hopefully the last time I have to see them:)

9 DPI

Nothing yet. I am afraid to take a test because I don't want to see the negative sign. I have been bloated alot at night and have been having slight cramping feelings at night.

I just don't know.......

6 DPI

It's been 6 days since our insemination. I feel bloated, and have a slight cramping feeling in my lower abdomen. I know that this can be all in my head but I am hoping that it is not.

Our donor is slightly new to the bank and does not have any pregnancies documented yet. Hoefully we are the 1st!!!!

I am going to try to post every day until I find out and then go from there.. so this will either be a conceiveing blog or a pregnancy blog... depending on how it goes. :) Positive thoughts right?
