Reet - LOL... just have sour cream on finger. I won't tell anyone.... hahaha. I can't stand the taste of V, reminds me of beer or something else gross. Perhaps you could try Fanta if you get desperate, I hear it has caffeine. Though you're doing well without it, so no point me pushing the caffeine angle, lol. About the boobage, everyone is different so it's hard to say. Mine were a bit tender at the beginning, then grew about a cup size. Now they're the same, except they only hurt on and off. Probably way TMI here but my areolas seem a bit bigger now but I'm not noticing any colour change. I'm getting some slight 'leakage' too which seems early... nothing extreme, just a bit of milky stuff appearing. Oh and the bumpy things have been there since the beginning too. Trust me though, those bbs will grow before this pg is done, lol.
Ferrals - Ohhhhhh I am shaking my fist at the universe in general over here. That sucks bigtime. Did they say when they would have your results? Stay strong, hun.................... you've come so far.
Ferrals-- thinking of you and wondering how you are this morning (it's morning here-- LOL); I hope those people would stop making you wait in agony. I also hope you will be feeling better real soon.
I am really behind-- I've been hiding a bit. Just overwhelmed with work and dealing with anxiety. I haven't felt the baby move; we found out that bub is a boy, and even though we have a name all picked out, I am afraid to use it 'cause of the "what if" something happens. Sometimes I wake up and don't "feel" pregnant, then I look at myself in the mirror and tell myself "of course you are." It's pretty surreal. Somehow, I keep looking at 20 weeks as the half-way, almost there mark. Go figure. I need a shrink...LOL...and I go tomorrow...so I won't drive myself nuts.
Reet-- I am having the same concern about boobage. I am really small (normally) and still really small. Just darkened headlights-- but very few changes and no soreness. I worry about not being able to breastfeed.
Also-- been having weird thoughts about people (ie my mom and dad buying baby stuff). I don't want to have to "return it" if something doesn't work out. Why can't I be more positive? This is crazy!!!!!
Now you all know why I have been hiding.
I cheer all of you on-- but I don't feel like I will ever "belong"-- like I am a bystander and this isn't really happening. Maybe I need to see the shrink more often. LOL!
Sunshine and stars-I feel the same way i feel like i am pretending to be pregnant and i dont want people to see my belly but we need to see our babies as babies and giving them a name makes it real and if something did happen (cross fingers it never does) that is your baby and he will have a name weather it be now or when he arrives i am glad we gave Abbi a name she is our daughter and deserves to be part of our family even though she is not here with us she will always be in our hearts.
Thanks girls i cant believe they have kept me waiting WELL! actually i can i told you my luck sux i did not sleep at all last night i am still really crook with this flu and i had major cramping from all the coughing so i feel like crap and i can tell you now if i have not heard from the geneticist by 12 i will be on the phone barking at him to get me a result before the weekend starts ( even though i have no voice i will give it a good go)
Ferrals I can't believe the crappy luck you have been having. I'm really feeling for you and hope you hear soon that your second princess is absolutely perfect. I'm still crossing everything for you.
Sunshine and stars I could have written your post myself. I'm looking at 20weeks as the huge milestone. I'm not sure why its 20weeks and not 24/26. I now don't feel pregnant at all and even when I look in the mirror I wonder where my belly has gone. It was definately bigger at 12weeks then now (15) I am completely worried bub is not still alive which is why I am keeping to myself. I was feeling movements from 11-14weeks and nothing since. In saying this I've listened to its HB 5days ago at work and it sounded fine. It is such a mind game. I thought getting pregnant was the hard bit and deep down I know it was harder then this but I was expecting the 2nd trimester atleast to be easier, glowing etc and I'm still an emotional mess. So much for enjoying every moment of it regardless of how it ends which is what I really wanted to do. The fear is just so great. I do honestly think that the way you feel and myself and alot of us its a protection thing like if your not fully prepared for bub to come or almost expecting something to go wrong then if it does we have tried to prepare ourselves for it. Gee I'm not explaining myself very well. I know what I mean but I can't get the words out.
CONGRATS on finding out bub is a little man.
Well I have my Ob appointment next week which I can't wait for. I'm also worried about the 16week mark which will be here in 5days. Just looking forward to getting past that stage. SIL is 4weeks ahead of me and about to have her morphology scan. I know I am only a fraction behind but it seems she is so much more pregnant lol
Oh and another thing. I ran into a lady I work with yesterday and my heart just broke for her. She has lost her last 2 bubs at 17 & 18weeks and both have taken over 2years to conceive. I wished I could give my pregnancy to her. I feel so aweful that she has had such crappy luck and lost her gorgeous bubs and here I am pregnant. I can remember what a kick in the guts it was to find out someone else was pregnant and atleast for the past 3years I haven't been one of them. Arrrr I feel so aweful for her.
