I am exactly 13 weeks today! Its going too fast! I still have so much stuff that needs doing right now, and my daughter has learned how to hit people. I swear she hit me yesterday while I was cleaning her face and screamed at me. I just held both her hands in one hand and cleaned her. She was so royally pissed off. I found it funny actually. How is everyone doing? Do any of you feel some relief from anything? ↑
Well, I don't feel nearly as bad as I did about a month ago, but I still have some pretty yucky days. I think the fatigue is (FINALLY) starting to let up some. That's been one of the hardest for me. I'm only nauseated every once in a while, and I haven't actually puked for about a month and a half. So, it's getting better. ↑

I am 13 weeks today. I had my appointment today. She had a hard time finding the heart beat. I do have a tilted uterus so I am wondering if that could be why. I am also so emotional today. Me and my hubby are fighting today about moving. I want to move closer to family and I already have a job lined up. I just need some me time I think. ↑

austynsmommy, I know how you feel. I had a complete emotional breakdown today. I'm looking for a job right now (I was a teacher, but I'm starting Nursing school in the Fall), and I'm having a hard time because my schedule will be so crazy. So, I'm freaking out because, ya know, having a baby, need a job, etc. I also understand about wanting to be near family. My husband and moved closer to my mom a year ago (right after my second miscarriage) because I wanted to be closer to her. Luckily, he was very supportive. Hopefully, your hubby will come around. ↑

Oh, and to cheer myself up, I went and bought some baby clothes! Carter's was having a MAJOR clearance. We got 7 onesies, an outfit that converts to a sleeper sack and comes with a bib, booties and a hat. We also got three pairs of socks and two pairs of pants all for $40.00. If anybody has a Carter's store near them, go check it out. They have some great neutral stuff, and a great sale right now!!! It was the best therapy! ↑

Good morning ladies.How is everyone today? I am doing better. I am hoping I get that job. They are just waiting for the background check. Have a great day ladies. ↑

Hello! This is my first, I'm due January 15th. I haven't gotten too excited yet because I've been so nervous that everything is going to be okay. I'd LOVE to start shopping though. My husband doesn't want to find out the sex of the baby? Austynsmommy: my sister in law's doctor had trouble finding the heart beat when I was with her, everything was fine, the doctor said it just depended on your body and the baby at the exact time of the test. ↑

Hey I was wondering if anyone has myspace? If you do here is mine myspace.com/amanda_kay_shields ↑
Name: mcbee | Date: Jul 2nd, 2008 6:34 PM
I have myspace! My address is myspace.com/km1228 ↑
Name: mcbee | Date: Jul 2nd, 2008 6:53 PM
Austynsmommy, I just requested you as a friend on myspace! Alright, ladies, I need some advice. My husband and I can't agree on a girl's name. I know it's early, but I want to have something to call the baby when we find out if it's a boy or a girl. We've decided on Keagan Michael for a boy, but we're just not sure on the girl. So, I'm going to list the names we're considering, and hope that some of you will give me some feedback. My feelings won't be hurt! Okay here goes (in alphabetical order, no less!): Ansley, Briley, Brinlee, Harper, Kendall, Kendra, Piper (which I love, but my hubby hates), Rylie, and Taryn. I want something different, but not wierd that the kid will hate me for. So, any opinions would be much appreciated! All this and it'll probably be a boy! ↑
Name: austynsmommy | Date: Jul 2nd, 2008 7:11 PM
I think all those names are cute. I really like Rylie. For me and my hubby we are thinking Savannah and for a boy jackson. ↑

I have such a bad headache today. Nothing is helping. How is everyone else? ↑
Name: mcbee | Date: Jul 2nd, 2008 10:26 PM
austynsmommy, that's so funny because we thought seriously about Savannah. I've always LOVED that name! However, one of my good friends from high school is pregnant right now and due on Oct. 25th. Her name is Savannah, and she said I can't have it because she's having her baby first (she's only joking, but ...). So, we had to go back to the drawing board. I love the name Savannah, though. It reminds me of a little southern belle! Jackson is really cute, too. Reminds me of a southern gentleman. ↑
Name: mcbee | Date: Jul 2nd, 2008 11:06 PM
Correction... her name for her baby is Savannah. ↑
Name: austynsmommy | Date: Jul 3rd, 2008 11:33 AM
Good morning ladies. I am still feeling the same. Still have this darn morning sickness. How is everyone else? My tummy is growing a bit I think because I have had sore ribs for a couple days know. I am showing early with this pregnancy. With my other two I didnt show until I was 5 months. Have a great day ladies. ↑
Name: HeavenisMine | Date: Jul 3rd, 2008 12:11 PM
That'd be a pretty cute name (ha ha I am being silly, my name is Savannah). I am at a loss for names. We named our daughter Phoenix. I have always loved that name. Picking names is so much fun though. ↑

Hi Guys, I am 12 weeks 5 days but the ultrasound said i was 13 weeks so I think i am in the second trimester? ↑
Name: austynsmommy | Date: Jul 5th, 2008 11:40 AM
Good morning ladies. Hope everyone had a great forth for those of you that celebrate it. I still have morning sickness. I am hoping it ends soon. I will be 14 weeks on tuesday. Hope everyone is doing great. ↑
Name: mcbee | Date: Jul 5th, 2008 1:17 PM
I'm happy to report that I haven't had nausea for 4 days! That's a record! However, it seems as though my headaches are back with a vengeance. I hope everyone else is feeling well. Austynsmommy, I'm so sorry that you're still having issues with morning sickness. Hopefully you'll be over it really soon. By the way, I looked at your pics on myspace and your kids are precious! Have a good day! :) ↑

Hey ladies! Hope you all had a great Fourth of July, (those who celebrate). No vomiting for two days in a row, but today it is kicking my butt! My husband and I are also discussing names...so hard! I have a niece named Savannah, nice name! We are considering Anderson for a boy, after my hubby's great grandfather, and we are really struggling with a girl name. My daughter's name is Ella Claire, which we picked out right away with her. This time, it is much harder. We kind of like Hally, Sophia, Mylee, and Marley? Any other suggestions? Mcbee, I like Ansley...cute! Austynsmommy, I didn't show until later with my first either, but wow, this time I am really popping out! I have given in and started wearing my preggo clothes full time, just more comfy! ↑
Name: mcbee | Date: Jul 5th, 2008 5:06 PM
epigg, I've always loved the name Hally. There is a Christmas movie called "All I Want for Christmas" that I love (I'm a dork because I really like Christmas movies year round) and one of the character's names is Halley O'Fallon. I used to want to use that for my daughter's name. I also love Marley. I worked at a preschool for a while and one of my little girls in my class was named Marley. She was the coolest kid! Also, thanks about Ansley! I think we've finally narrowed it down to Ansley or Kendall. My husband says he likes them both and he's going to let me choose between them. Still don't know which I like better, but I guess I have plenty of time to decide. ↑

Today is 13w 4 days for me so I guess Im moving on in.. How are you ladies feeling? Im feeling pretty good. But I seem to be getting this sharp pain on my left side like where my tubes are..Its a stabbing pain and then it goes away. I'll be asking the dr this week at my appt. ↑
Name: austynsmommy | Date: Jul 6th, 2008 12:45 PM
Good morning ladies. How is everyone? I still have this darn morning sickness. My son had a fever all day yesterday so I couldnt get on here all that much. Thanks mcbee. It is so hard to get pictures of my son anymore. He sees the camera and does not sit still. Ladies I dont know if any of you have yahoo but I have started a january pregnancy group. If you want to join it is january_babies_2009. ↑
Name: Kimmer23 | Date: Jul 7th, 2008 9:11 AM
OK - I'm cheating - not quite in the 2nd trimester...I'm 12wks3ds, but I came to comment about mcbee's name quandry :) I really like Kendall. I was thinking about that name, but I think we've settled on Gabrielle for a girl's name, and Brayden for a Boy...but, who know's...there are still 27 or so weeks left to change my mind... ↑

So I copied and pasted from the 1st tri---
Wow, it's hard to believe we will be on the 2nd tri board in the next few days! I had my detailed u/s last Thursday and measured right on track and had hb of 156. Little peanut was wiggling it's arms and legs and I fell in LOVE. I had to go back today for blood work to test for downs (I am 35) and they had to re-do the u/s to re-measure, so I got to see lil bean again! Peanut was sleeping with it's little hands on it's face and after some prodding by the tech, started kicking it's little legs in protest. HB was 161 today..I am SOOO very happy. I am 12w2d and go back to the doc on the 31st. My nausea has pretty much disappeared (YAY) and just left with fatigue and growing, sore breasts! Oh, and of course the constant visits to tinkle..they have picked up now more in the middle of the night...I will hop over to the second tri board at the end of the week. Can't wait for everyone to join us!+++Cyndi+++ =Kimmer--My step son's name is Braedon..I have always wanted a boy named Brandon Alexander..but it will sound like twins with Braedon and Brandon..drats! I love my step daughters names: Tawney Elise and Kylie Marie...We like Caleigh as a girls' name and the boys name other than Brandon, I like Daylon or Kellen. We have about 8 more weeks until we will know pink or blue...it is SO much fun picking names. ↑
Name: mcbee | Date: Jul 7th, 2008 7:15 PM
Well, I had my first doctors appt. with my regular OB today. He said everything looks fine. I have to go back next week to get some blood work done (thyroid, progesterone, hep C, HIV test) and then I go back to see him again on Aug. 4th. They're going to do the AFP test (has anyone else had this done?) and then an ultrasound. He said that if baby is cooperative, then we'll get to find out if it's a boy or a girl! I'm so excited! I might know if I'm going to have a son or a daughter in less than a month!!! ↑
Name: austynsmommy | Date: Jul 7th, 2008 8:28 PM
Congrats mcbee. That is so exciting. I cant wait to find out what were having. ↑
