Guest guest Posted June 28, 2001 Report Share Posted June 28, 2001 Amy R., It sounds like everything is just as it should be. I'm glad you are going to be busy over the next while, it will make time fly and you will be at your 20 week u/s before you know it. Are you going to find out the sex of the baby? I want to know, I have no patience whatsoever - lol! Congratulations sweetie, you sound so happy, which makes me smile from ear to ear.

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2001 Report Share Posted June 28, 2001 Thanks Jo-Ann! You are so wonderful and thoughtful. To answer your question, yes we plan to try to find out the sex, if baby cooperates. I wasn't decided one way or another and dp REALLY wants to find out so we are going to go ahead and find out. That's exciting too! I wasn't thinking about that being part of the 20wk u/s -AmyR 13wk5d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2001 Report Share Posted June 28, 2001 Wow, Amy, you are 14 weeks already! Time seems to be crawling for me, but whenever I look at you or Dana, I think that time is flying! At this rate you will even catch up with me. LOL It's great to hear everything is going well. However, don't be alarmed if you don't feel flutters by the next appt. It took me to the middle of the 19w to really convince myself I was feeling the baby. Good luck, a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 28, 2001 Report Share Posted June 28, 2001 Amy, I am glad your dr said everything is ok. That is interesting about taking a shower. I didn't think I took what one would call hot showers but I do find that usually feel funny when I first come out and I even usually start gagging some. I will have to use more cold water and see if there is any difference. I really can't believe how being pg can change you so much. I told dh that I couldn't wait to August because 20th week will be than (half way there) and we will get to have another u/s and see sooo much more!!! I know what you mean about being excited and nervous about everything. I can't wait for my dr apts to come but I am always nervous once they do. I read that you don't have a Babies R Us real close by...do you have a Burlington Coat Factory up there? A friend told me that they have Baby Burlington and carry the same brand name furniture and stuff as Babies R Us. I don't know if it is a separate store or not. I did go online and looked up the brand name furniture and you can see pictures of what is offered. It says other stores like JC Pennys and I think Sears is suppose to carry it too. My friend though that if we saw a crib that we liked at Babies R Us than we could go to Baby Burlington and maybe it would be cheaper. I don't remember the exact website address but if you type in Juvenile Products Company and click on furniture you can pull up your state and they will tell you all the cities in WI that sell their stuff. Just an idea. I am so glad things went well today!!! Take care. 13wk2d ep 12-00 ----- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 29, 2001 Report Share Posted June 29, 2001 a, Thanks for the warning about feeling movement. My dr seemed so positively sure yesterday that I SHOULD be feeling flutters by next appt, but I guess in the back of my head I know everyone is different and with a first baby sometimes it takes longer to recognize what you are feeling. It is good to know that it took you a little longer...that way hopefully I won't panic if I take a little longer too. -AmyR 13wk6d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 29, 2001 Report Share Posted June 29, 2001 Amy, I am so glag to hear the appt went well! So soon, your little one will be kicking and punching you, and you'll never be so glad to be beat up! Hopefully you'll be able to see the sex at the 20 wk u/s. Daisy wouldn't let us see until u/s #3--#1 legs crossed, #2---Hand over her privates!!! It was so funny, you could count her little fingers, but not see what was underneath.

Guest guest Posted June 29, 2001 Report Share Posted June 29, 2001 Amy, Once you feel movement, you will probably realize that some of whaat you thought was " gas " was actually the little one. I think " quickening " can happen from 14-22 weeks, maybe even later for first timers. DeeAnn > a, > > Thanks for the warning about feeling movement.
