Hey yall...I know I don't come on often but I have a Dr.'s appt today in about half an hour!!

I'm nervous, excited, anxious, you NAME it!!! lol!

I don't think I'll get an ultrasound today but maybe I will and maybe he can measure it for a due date!! It's KILLING me, not knowing just an ESTIMATED time...ya know?

I figured the end of January. So, mreh, we'll see!!

I feel like such a drifter with all the news I've missed!!!!

Soooo...what I'd like is for everyone to fill me in on what's happened!! I know about B being preggers!!!! Mr. Green

And I know about kaerbear having her HUGE lil girl! lol! But what else is going on!?!?!?!?!?!

Yall!! I got an ultrasound today!!!!! yaaaayyy!! I got to see the lil bambino!!

I'm 15weeks 2days!! And my due date is OFFICIALLY Jan. 29, 2008!!!!

It was sucking it's hand, and covering it's ears with it's hands! It was bouncing around and being soooo active!

The ONLY bad thing about the appt is that I gained 5lbs!!! Shocked But, I had stopped excercising because I was scared that I would miscarry!! Then, to boot, I had to snack all day long in order not to feel nausious. Crying or Very sad

I asked him what type of excercise I could do and he said, "with this heat, I'd suggest vigorious swimming. Or you could use a treadmill inside to jog. The heat is WAY too intense for you to excercise at all outside. If you start excercising again, you'll more than likely lose the 5lbs that you've gained."

I'm soooo conscious of my weight this time around!! I definately don't want to have a repeat of last time. 60lbs is *NOT* ok!!

I feel complete knowing how far I am!! And seeing the bambino doing the 2 step makes me excited for the months to come!!

Wow! Kansas Day? I was born on "May Day"(may1) and Oni was born on "Earth Day"(Apr22)! That'd be awesome to have this one born on Kansas Day..even though we live in New Orleans! lol!

Yea, I'm so glad I got to get my due date!

I'm hoping for a boy, but will be ok with another girl. I'd prefer a boy so that I can stop making babies for a while. Cuz if it's a girl, then we'll be trying again when she's a year. GOTTA get that BOY! lol!

I'm so glad they finally gave you an ultrasound and a due date! I hope you actually make it this time!

I'm assuming that they weren't able to get a look at the bits Sad 15 weeks is still pretty early for that, but it would have been nice!

This heat has been unreal. UNREAL! Definitely take it easy out there, Sarah!

Nah, he said he wasn't even gonna try to see it's bits. I didn't want him to fill my head with nonsense anyways! lol!

Yea, the heat is DEF INSANE down here!! I DREAD even STEPPING outside! BLAH! I'm just glad I'm not HUGE pregnant this time of year down here...I think I'd hermit!!

I'm hoping that I actually go over my due date. That's what I wanted with Oni...but mreh.

Oh, and I'm actually going to TAKE my prenatals this time. The ones I had with Oni made me DEATHLY sick if I didn't eat a HUGE meal with it!

Are you going to try to find out the sex later on, or are you going to leave it a surprise?

I'm considering waiting to find out when I get pregnant again, but I've always hated surprises and I'd want to get really prepared both emotionally and physically for either a boy or girl. I don't know if I'd be able to do it. It'd probably drive me insane! Laughing

What kind of birth are you hoping for this time around? Very Happy

As far as the sex of the bambino...I NEED to know! lol! If it's a boy, then with my next pregnancy, I'd leave it a surprise. If I have my girl and my boy, then it wouldn't matter what the next is. if that makes any sense?

For the labor, I plan on going the same route that I did with Oni. I don't plan on having ANY medical intervention. No IV's, no epidural, no meds. that is if all goes as planned and it's not breech, or something along those lines.

I'm hungry. I haven't eaten lunch yet and it's 3.18pm down here. Oni's napping and we've got to go get Baron from work.

I'm gonna go tomorrow to get some blood taken for downs syn. for this baby. I opposed, but the Dr. seemed to be insisting...mreh...damn VAMPIRES!

Congrats on getting your due date! That makes you a week and a few days ahead of me. That's so great that you got to see your little one again. I have to wait six more weeks before I see mine again. Our doc's office also offers the 4-d ultrasound around 26-28 weeks and we are going to go ahead and get that one too just because. It costs $150 but oh well we'll get more pics.
