Updates

I really don't post a lot anymore and its not because of a lack of things to say. Its just hard to. Its also hard for me to post comments to certain blogs because as much as I want to reach out it almost feels like being an imposter. Its hard to tell someone you can relate to their pain when I can feel the baby kick and they are still struggling for a bfp. Regardless of all of this I am finally going to update.

I have been feeling movement for a few weeks now and it is amazing. Seems to happen more at night when I'm trying to sleep so I just lay there and am completely amazed.

Cervix seems good @ 3.9 and tightly closed.

My morning sickness has turned to mind blowing fatigue and nipples that feel like razor blades are sticking out of them.

I'm very emotional. VERY emotional. Just ask my poor husband.

Oh yeah, that thing where I said I probably wouldn't have sex until close to the due date? I'm a total liar pants because just days after getting the clearance we started going at it like rabbits. I find it both amazing and odd the fascination my husband has with this new body of mine. Granted he is a boob and butt man and right now I've got plenty of both, but I thought it might weird him out. Makes me feel better about myself though, which I need considering my hair is in a constant frizz now and my skin looks like I just hit puberty.

Hmmmmmmmm, oh yeah, we had the 20w scan. I'm the proud owner of a penis and set of balls people. Proudly displayed right away. As a matter of fact the baby was scratching its bottom too. Seriously a perfect replica of mr. fatty. We did however have a hard time getting both views of the spine so I have to go back in two weeks. The tech said not to worry and that it was normal, but I think we all know I went into worry overdrive. Now I find myself in a 2ww of a different sort. I'm trying to remain calm. I have the best picture of the baby smiling at us. I will try and scan it in soon.

Wonderful news about your baby boy! And thanks for the update, I've really missed them. Speaking as one of the "have nots" I look forward to your updates and comments.

Glad everything is well.

Has a name been picked out? Do we get to hear it?

I think someone once said that from here on out - the worry won't stop for you. I'm sorry.

Congratulations on finding out that you're having a boy! I love having a boy--which is why we chose to adopt another boy. It is the best thing in the world.

I still hope you'll continue to post.

20 weeks, holy shite! How is that possible! And a boy, yay, congrats!

Re being an imposter, you're not. At all. Being one in the BFN category still, I'm happy to hear from you both in supportive comments and in updates on your blog. You're still one of us, you always will be. You just have new things to bitch about:-)

Erin said...

Just wanted to say congratulations on your new little boy. I'll bet his big brother is smiling ear to ear! Enjoy!

Yeah little boy!!!!

I can only imagine how you feel about posting and commenting. BUT you have walked in our shoes. You have walked this sick IF road. You know how it feels. You can give wisdom and heart and compassion. Don't stop sharing. Don't stop encouraging. I have missed you!

I've read other people talk about feeling odd after they get pregnant. But you've walked the road. You've fought the fight. You know how it is and what we are going through. JMHO, but I love to hear about your updates (even about your little boy moving around).

Many congrats on a boy!!! I'd like to get me one of those some day, too.

As far as the 2ww...I'm sure everything will turn out beautifully. And you get to see your little boy again! Good luck with your sanity until then.

(((hugs)))

Please don't feel you can't post because of others! You definitely deserve to write and share your experiences... it isn't JUST getting pregnant but BEING pregnant which is part of the beauty of God and his miracles :) Personally, I LOVE hearing about how after so long, you get to feel the baby move and stuff. It gives me hope.

What pisses me off is people who get pregnant the first month or use babies to trap boyfriends or people who drink/do drugs who get pregnant. I hate that immensely.... but, I love hearing about you :)

Please post if/when you can/want to :)

Take care!
