Well, I got a ultersound today the baby was 20 weeks 3 days. Weight 14 ounces, length 10.5 inches, heart rate of 140. It's a BOY he'll just love knowing i'm posting his guy stuff online before he was born poor kid. I'm doing great. My mom has started going to suport meetings for herself. My brother is back to full blown addiction and making her crazy with money demands. She even yelled at him the other day that I "me" stoped she don't know why the h*ll he can't. I felt bad 4 him for her saying that. I told her I have lost more learned more to get here. He always has a fall back "mostly her". I had to lose everything to get it together.Here is the baby's lil FOOT
Congrats. I just noticed the ultrasound said Good Samaritan Hospital. I was just wondering if that was in Ohio? I had my daughter 15 years ago at Good Sam.. I am sure there is more than one hospital with that name though...LOL
How precious! I'll bet you're starting to get excited now! I always say, "I never know how much I could love someone until I became a mother." Do you have any names in mind yet? I vote for Joshua! lol
Hiya zero girl, I was wondering how you were! It's great when you get a glimpse, isn't it? I had my first scan two weeks ago. They don't give you a picture on the first one, so I just have to keep trying to remember. I was overwhelmed at how it made me feel, seeing "it". I hope mines a girl, coz I don't know anything about little boys, except that they grow up to be men, and, well, not to put down men as a species, I think it would be better off as a woman, if dad is anything to go by (sorry love, but you know you agree!). The other thing (I know it's daft to even think it, never mind say it) is that I hope my baby inherits it's daddies feet, and not mine, coz I've got horrible mutant long skinny flat feet, and dad has lovely perfect feet with perfect dinky toes. Everything else it can inherit from me!
I keep having these awful dreams that it's eyes stay blue. Doesn't sound so awful, except both me and my man have brown eyes, and although I know that (unless it turns out to be the son of God (unlikely)) my man is the dad, and it will have brown eyes, something inside me keeps thinking that it's not really our child. Stupid I know, but in my dream, he keeps insisting that it's not his, and I am at a complete loss to explain it!
Well, I'm glad every thing is going well for you. I feel very lucky, coz my baby is being very cooperative, and I've stopped feeling sick, my skin is clear, I'm not too tired. I just keep crossing my fingers that I'll have a completely trouble free pregnancy (so far so good) and I'll end up with one of those mythical children who sleep through the night, hardly ever cry, and lie in their prams gurgling cheerfully to themselves. Apparantly I was one such child, according to my mother, who had had two babies before me, who were complete nightmares, and she couldn't believe that babies like me existed! But hey, I made up for lost time! How could have known the worrying that lay in store for my poor mum when her perfect child reached adulthood? Maybe I'd rather have a difficult baby who grows up to be a model citizen! Nah, that sounds so uninspiring! I'll just take one day at a time, like I always do. The future will look after itself, as it always has, one way or the other!
Thnaks, everyone 4 the reply's. Rae73 the hospital is Good Sam in Cincinnati ohio, there are other good sam's in ohio and across the U.S.. I never gave a thought to croping off my name, not worried about it thou. Diff you sound like your doing GREAT, i was wondering how you were to!. Pregnancy causes insane DREAMS. The other day I dreamed I was eating shrimp it came ALIVE the legs started moving the eyes poped out I threw it... so CREEPY!. I'll never eat shrimp AGAIN. I already have a son 10, daughter 8, so i did not have any hopes of the baby being one gender over the other. I do think later in life girls stay more attached to their moms. At least in my family all the boys move off lose contact later in life. I hope the baby gets his dads hair "very dark almost black and sexy". My hair is mouse brown thin and not that attractive. I also hope he gets dads Brown eyes, my eyes are greenish gray. I have heard brown eyes are a stronger gene so chances are he'll get that. I bet your baby will get brown eyes to BUT, SO you know a lot of times right after birth the eyes look BLUE because of the antibotic they put in the eyes after delivery, the eyes can even take months to get to their natural color. We are leaning towards Robert as the name "dad's name". Still not 100% on that. I am geting much more excited as i get farther along. I've only gained 6 pounds and don't look pregnant at all still in lose normal CLOTHES getting to tight thou. I want a round belly "hopefully it'll come soon.'
Hi zero girl, I'm jealous as hell! I think I'm gonna be massive! I can still wear my size 10 hipsters but belly is already getting too big for anything that goes around the waist. And my tits are huge. I went out to buy yet more new bra's today. Started off 36 B, now I'm 36 DD and there's not much room in them! My poor boobs are so sore! I'm scared to get on the scales! I can't stop eating sherbet lemons. In fact anything sour is irresistable. And my man insists on having copious amounts of chocolate in the house, and I feel duty bound to eat most of it. And then there's the dog biscuits... Don't ask! (I actually mean regular biscuits that I buy for the dog, coz he has to have a biscuit before he goes to bed, and loads during the day to boot.)
OK, things to do...
love
Diff xxx
ps. I've given up caring about sexy underwear. I don't need lingerie, I need a structural engineer! And it gives me some satisfaction (experiencing a little "partner resentment", well, loathing every cell in his body probably is a better description!) that if I have to carry his child, then the least he can do is have to look at me in an enormous Isambard Kingdom Brunel stylee bra! And although giant knickers aren't necessary, I enjoy seeing his disappointment, and they complete the look! LMAO!
Congrats Zerogirl. That is so awesome. You're having a baby.
I see the foot perfect. His wittle wittle foot. Ahhhhhhhhhh, girl go on now go on.
This made me smile hearing about you and Diff.
Oh, yes Diff. OLD LADY UNDIES. That right there is the real deal, babes. White, cotton, and twenty times the size of your real undies. Thong? Join the Hollywood elite.
I am so happy for you two.
Now this is a nice thread. So? Will you gals wear the outfit Lucy had to wear having Ricky Ricardo Jr. on TV? Sooooooo many older people HATE now that women show their stomachs pregnant. LOL I mean they freak and especially the men. Ya know it's nature. But like my dad said to me when I used to walk around the house naked. Did it all the time. "Get some damn clothes on. The neighbors can see in here, and you have brothers". Me being me said "Daddy naked is beautiful, and us people in the US make it a sin. I was born in this skin, and I can be naked".
MY DAD??????????????????????? "You were born with snot running out your nose, and a bunch of crap all over you. You going to walk around like that?"
So, anyone have cravings for Sugar Babies? Speghetti gravy? An entire pork roast?
My fave was my friend NEEDED those candy cigerettes. Not the kind come in a fake pack either. These were in a row stuck together at the candy store. Actually stuck/made together. Her poor husband I mean it was a sin. "I WANT THOSE CANDIES NOW AND DO NOT COME BACK WITH THE WRONG ONES". LOL Here they weren't making them no more. LOL Every pregnancy she wanted them.
Hope you gals feel well. Man, honestly. I mean this. I LOVED being pregnant. I never felt better in my life. Mothering is the difficult part. If I had a uterus I'd be an incubator. Loved it. Best wishes, and watch out for the fish/tuna.
Here's to 36DDDDDDD. LOL Yeah, I was like check me out all busty. LOL Good times.
I'm doing great. My mom has started going to suport meetings for herself. My brother is back to full blown addiction and making her crazy with money demands. She even yelled at him the other day that I "me" stoped she don't know why the h*ll he can't. I felt bad 4 him for her saying that. I told her I have lost more learned more to get here.
