re: OFFICIAL JULY 2013 THREAD (pt. 2)

Had my pap appointment today and got my blood drawn. Baby pa great. Super wiggly. They would find the heartbeat and baby would move. Haha. Finally we got 164 bpm. I on the other hand am apparently not so well. They told me my urine says I am dehydrated and need more fluids. Also one of my ovaries is enlarged. I go in Thursday for an ultrasound to see if I have a cyst. They told me that this is most likely why I have had so much back pain so early.

I hope your party so well! My husband and I want to have one too! Take some pics  

What are you hoping for?

Definitely a girl this time. I have an almost 5 yr old son, so a change of pace would be nice. I feel like its a girl and we actually caught my son praying for a baby sister before we found out I was pregnant. All he talks about is his "liddle sister" and how he's going to be a big brother lol.

I'll post pics after the party, but it's just a small family only get together  

What about you? What are you hoping for?

Aww that's sweet, I hope he gets a little sister!

We are hoping for a girl as well! We have a two year son. It would be nice to have one of each

I've been MIA for awhile...What's going on? Why won't your mom come to the party? What cords and needles? Are you okay? NICE!!! New washer and dryer yay!!!

Quick catch up: I have hyperemisis again.. Thus the cords and needles ( I'm on a Zofran infusion pump and a home IV) my mom won't come to the gender reveal because she is a manipuliative sociopath. Literally. Textbook. She missed my 1st wedding baby shower and the birth of my son to be with her (now ex) boyfriend. Now she has a new boyfriend and her date with him is more important. Which is fine. I washed my hands of her. Her presence in my life is toxic. She talks negatively about me, my husband and my father to my son and I won't stand for it. She has chosen to not be in my life, and though if hurts, I have finally come to peace with it. For the longest time I vied for her approval and love, but I realized its unattainable.

And last but not least, we find out baby's gender next Thursday  

Sorry so long, that really is the nut shell version.

Wow...Well I'm glad that you're doing okay and that you're moving on from your mom. I wouldn't want to deal with that in my life either, I so don't blame you! Long is totally fine   Aww yay for finding out so soon!! I have to wait till March to find out but since I have to wait that long I'm going to see if they'll tell me on my birthday

Well that's a cute idea! What a great birthday gift! My Dr is allowing me to do a gender scan for $40... And technically Im supposed to wait til 16 weeks, but the girl setting the appointment offered an appointment before my next OB visit (they are very 2 weeks due to the malnutrition)... And I jumped at the opportunity... Even though I'll only be 14 weeks hehehe I'm a bit mischievous :p

So how are you doing miss MIA? I love chatting with you ladies,ales bed rest go by faster  

Man... i want to find out the gender soon... I'd pay for an elective scan but I'd rather wait until the baby is big and chubby for a 3d/4d scan... First dr appt Friday, I'll see then when they will do the scan. I am so excited to find outtttt. lol

I know exactly what you mean! I only get to go to one meeting usually because the other one is too early and an hour away. Lol. But I'm trying to become an LLL leader now so I've been seeing them a lot lately for paperwork and things! Haba
