GRADS THREAD #45 (preg and baby ment)

[tarheelbaby2b]

Here I go again, starting this thread off so I can post MY ultrasound pics...

Grads post your updates, belly pics anything related to your pregnancy here and only place them here to be considerate to those ttc.. ALSO post here about your babies if you have a baby.

If you're not a grad feel free to post well wishes, questions, anything to the grads here and only in this post and not elsewhere on the board!!

This thread was created to keep our grads feeling comfortable on this board to update us on their pregnancies without having multiple pregnancy related posts on this TTC Board.

Grads ~ Please remember to update the stats thread on your Due dates along with any other important info, so I can post them in our 20 Something important info thread.

I figured you would like to see the 3 amigos. These are from my u/s yesterday. All 3 were measuring on track, within a few days of each other. They said that all three were 3ozs and about 5 inches long. WOW!!!
They think Baby A is a boy and the other two were very uncooperative. I go back on 4/6 and then again on 4/17.

I only uploaded 3 of the 500 I have. They all look the same but these are the best. Baby A and C you can get a good view of them. Baby B is completely upside down and in a crazy position. Maybe that is why I alwaya feel him moving...

Anyway, here you go.

Baby A


Baby B


Baby C


And I promise...stay tuned for belly pics!!!

[cBar]

Wow, That is just amazing! Thanks for sharing. I am brand brand new to this thread and am wondering about the stats you asked for - what exactly do I post - the due date? I go for my first u/s on April 10th. I just got my BFP confirmed yesterday! I am nervous and excited and the Doc sent me home with a thousand different prenatal smaples and leaflets, etc and its only just sinking in that it is happeneing. I haven't even told my parents yet! I am cautiously optimistic and have really enjoyed my time with the TTC ladies. I had never participated in a board before then! It feels so good to share and I love checking for messages. I have been reading about all of you on here and am excited to hear updates on everyone!

[NewbieTTC]

Lindsay - Congratulations! They look great. How does being pregnant with three compare to being pregnant with one?

cBar - That is so great! I hope everything goes well for you!

[jadasmommie]

Wow that is absolutely amazing I wish you well and goodluck!!

[patriciainny]

Lindsay- looks great----how's that belly growing??

[karaintx]

hey everyone!! i am still alive!! i check in, and back out again. the weather here is amazing!! lauren and i spend so much time hanging outside and i take her on bike rides (we have one of those cool cike carts!).
i leave on my next trip to mesa, az. totally looking forward to it since i took a month off. don't know what i was thinking because i am totally getting cabin fever!!

if you guys want to check on me i update my blog regularly with pics and what is going on!! it is www.karaintx.blogspot.com

[Annah&Zach1.28.05]

Wow Lindsay, thanks for sharing the U/S pics! I can't believe I forgot that you were pregnant with 3!! I can't wait to see those belly pics, I remember what I was like with 2

Alright, I got my second beta's back. I went from 178 at 17DPO to 552 at 19DPO, which is more than triple I never got my levels tested with my other pg's, and someone mentioned that levels that triple or more could be a sign of multiples which is freaking me out just a tad. Anyone have any experiences? I don't go in for my first U/S for another week.

[Kimi]

LOL Arrianah!! Those are great #'s!!! Check that link to beta's there is a chart for multiples for what kind of #'s to expect!! I'm so excited that you got good beta's. I've never gotten a beta drawn, so I just get to live through the beta's from everybody else.

CBar, welcome!! Congrats on your BFP!!You'll have to tell us your name so we can use it instead of your user name!!

Linds, those babies look great! I wish you were closer to me so I could scan you!! I scanned a friend last night at 16 weeks and found her third boy. I was really hoping I could find a girl for her, but alas, it was a boy. I can't wait for your belly pic! How long are you going to last at work??

Patty have a great vacation, I'm jealous!! I'd love to go to Myrtle Beach, you'll have to post some pics so I can see it!

Kara, have fun in AZ!! Are you spending the entire month off of work there? I'll have to check your blog to see how you are doing!!

I finished my contest today!!! I lost 37 pounds, I went from 206 to 169. I haven't seen that number on the scale since I met DH! I lost 9.5 inchest too, and 5 of that was from my waist! I have to go shopping now! We have been pretty successful with our night weaning, so maybe I'll start cycling soon and I can join the TTC crowd officially. About every 2 weeks I've been POAS just to check, but they've all been BFN. Just my luck, I've lost all this weight and now I'll get knocked up! I'd love it, but it would be hard to gain weight after all the hard work I've done to lose it! I have an appt with the new OB in 4 weeks to have a "pre-conception" appt. Maybe I'll be preggo at that appt! It would be great to skip AF and not have one between Jailee and the next baby! Have a great weekend ladies!! It's almost Friday!

[tarheelbaby2b]

Kimi, we couldn't be more further apart now could we? I wish we were closer. You would be the good u/s tech and find the pay-pay or the tiny giny for me
More later...lunch..babies are hungry!!!

[cBar]

Kimmie - Congrats on your weight loss! I know that you must feel fantastic! How exciting, too that you will be joining the TTC ranks again! I look forward to the updates!

[cBar]

Eek...sorry "Kimi" lol! I'm an idiot!

[waiting4ajoy]

OK ladies I need to catch up. Well I am doing great. No m/s or anything. I am feeling wonderful. I have to look at my u/s to know I am pg.
I go monday 4/2 for my next u/s. I am so excited and can not wait to see my bean again.

[waiting4ajoy]

KarainTx i am glad you checked in. I hope that you have a good time in AZ.
Lindasay hun the babies look beautiful. Wow they are getting bigger. I bet you are on cloud nine.
Arrianah Congrats on the beta numbers looking good. When is your appointment?
cbar congrats on your BFP.
Kim congrats on the weight loss. What an accomplishment. I am so excited for you. And congrats on the night weaning.

[AFLGirlatHeart]

Lindsay - YAY for healthy babies. I emailed you and had a post on TFG but didn't hear from you. Glad you and babies are doing well. LOVE the pics.

Kara - Hey girl. I hope you guys are ok.

Kimi - on the weightloss I am SO proud of you. WTG girlie.

Jess - Glad you're feeling ok.

[Kimi]

Jess, with Kaden I had no m/s and didn't really "feel" preggo until about 20 weeks when he started taking up some room. Glad you are feeling good!

Thanks for all the congrats, I am so excited that I'm done, and I can relax my diet a bit more. I'm taking the weekend off "diet free" and then I'll be back on the diet train Monday. I've already made myself sick off of Peeps, they are my favorite candy, I usually eat 2-3 packages a year, and I couldn't stomach half a pack today!

Hey gals!
Just wanted to drop in quickly to do a little update.
Monday, we made our every-3-month trip down to Charleston for the older 2 girls to see the pediatric ophthalmologist. Peyton checked out well; her cataracts have never grown and are still just as tiny as when they were first diagnosed (about 2 mm, dx at 2 mo). Her vision is still really farsighted, but they want to give her another year for it to correct itself. She'll probably end up in glasses, but that's no biggie! Presley had a good, fairly thorough in-office check (thank goodness) which means we get to skip the under-anesthesia exam this year!! woot! Her intraocular pressures are still too high (23 and 25 when anything over 20 is "high") which can result in nerve damage if left unchecked. So, we go back in 6 months to check those pressures and hear whether something will have to be done about that. All-in-all, a good visit. We spent the rest of the day strolling around Chas, soaking up a little sun and a little history. nice.
Tuesday, we went to the local hospital where corey had an echocardiogram to try to determine what is causing his palpations and the feeling that he's having a heart attack. It's scary when he has "an episode", especially since no one has been able to give us any answers. Anyway, they also gave him a monitor to wear for 24 hours. We don't have any answers yet, but at least there's some documentation now. then we went to the zoo with my sister and her kids for my nephew's 5th birthday... seemed like a good idea, but it turned out to get up to 92 degrees. blah.
Wednesday took us back to the hospital to take the monitor back, followed by an afternoon of working outside... luckily, it only got up to about 85. the kids played in the sprinkler while corey washed the house and I worked inside.
Today we met my sister for lunch, then a friend from church came and borrowed some of my maternity clothes. She's due in early Oct, and I just don't think I'll need them before that. When corey got home from work, we took the older 2 girls for their first gymnastics class. They loved it! Looks like I know how I'll be spending my thursday evenings for the next 8 weeks at least!
Tomorrow, I plan... not much! I hope to catch up on laundry and laying on the couch... yeah, as if I ever get to lay on the couch!... well, one can dream.

well, so much for a little update. I'm so exhausted, I'll have to come back later to catch up with everyone else!!
