Pregnancy Info HOME

Ok Lucy, I've got my globe out...I'm such a moron I don't even know where Dubai is on the globe! I wonder if I should know? So I'm googling it right now...Ok, I'm thinking you're insane to be so cold the other day! I just googled it and the avg high in jan/dec is 24-26 degrees! and that is your cold season! Yikes. Lowest ever record temp is only 7 degrees. That's shocking! Well, its quite interesting looking this stuff up anyways. So I'm gonna guess India? If that's not right then tell me what your maiden name is and I'll probably guess it for sure! AFM-I just got back from the gym doing 50 min of cardio. Now I feel good and have to go to a mtg. 7:30am! Tracey?? Where are you? What's going on? Overtaken-any new news with you? Anyone else I've forgotten in my rush? Come tell us what's up!

Actually Lucy I'm changing my guess. I was on my way to the mtg and thinking about how you've mentioned that you are small so I'm changing my guess to either China, Japan or Taiwan

BY THE WAY IT'S TRACY GIRLS - CHANGED MY NAME :) Hey Girlies, I'm sorry I haven't been on for a while, I couldn't believe it when I came on and read everyone's updates, everyone has been real busy! RC, I've been feeling a bit like you racked with worry in case something is wrong. Was feeling all these little subtle movements but haven't felt anything for about 12 hours. I haven't had any aches or pains and aint bled. I just worry too much I think. It aint good!! Scott went to his folks on Sat morning to tell them, his dad wasn't there so he told his mum. He said she was totally shocked but happy and just told him his priorities have to change!!! Ha ha I think he was worried about nothing at the end of the day his parents are 62 and 58 they prob thought they were never going to be grandparents! Although it was a mistake it is slowly turning into the best mistake of my life. Starlight how did your scan go?? I'm sooooo glad it's not just me that has the weird eating habits, mind you it's not so much habits with me as eating everything in sight lol No really I can't get enough sweet stuff! ice cream and chocolate - it's amazing but I think it's going to take sometime to get rid of. Scott and I have been having a right laugh about the belly I'm growing. His nicknames for me are tubby t, humpty dumpty and fatty ha ha. It's just as well I know he's joking or he'd be strung up!!! Well i'm 19 weeks today and get my 20 wk scan 2 weeks today. Scott's coming too so I really can't wait to see his face when he see's our baby. I really hope they tell me what I'm having. Although they tell you not to ask and my scanning dept. All you's that has had babies before is it easy to tell in this can what your having?? I went shopping at the weekend for some maternity jeans as I have outgrown my size 12's and to be honest I thought the selection was shocking. Most of the shops don't do matty stuff now and if they so they only do length 32 and I'm just a short a__s.........anyone any ideas?? I bought some little baby clothes sleep suits, grows, vest etc all in neutral clothes cause I don’t know what I'm having. There is so much cute stuff can't wait to find out. I really want a baby boy and if it is its getting called Scott William Murray Porter. If it's a girl I don't have a clue - Suggestions please?? To go with Porter surname?? Anyway hope your all well - back to work for me xx

tracy glad all is ok!! so happy 4 u guys :) im guessing u'll have a girl but i hope u get the boy u want :) health is all what matters but it seems that most of us here r having boys this time :) about guessing the gender by urself, i dont think so cz they dont usually look at the private parts unless u ask for it, so try googling some boy n girls ultrasound pix n have a look :) u might guess by urself but i dont think that if u ask to know it would be a problem :) keep us posted!! rcmiller, lol yeah 7 degrees is TOO cold for us here, we're not used to cold weather.. no im not from the countries u mentioned sorry :) my name is not lucy btw, thats just a nickname. my real name is lamis.. i think this might make it easier to guess :) im not small btw, im 169 cm..but im thin if u want n got thinner from the vomitting :s but im glad im eating better now :)

Hello Girls, I'm still around. I've been checking in following your guessing game, hallarious:o). Tracy I know you want a boy, but I'm going to guess girl because of your cravings I was told sweets cravings for a girl and sour/salty for boys. But hey wise tales are not 100% either. Good luck I don't know if I'm wrong for telling you guys this but I spend some time on Babycenter.com and starlight said she delivered her baby on the 16th. He had no heartbeat at the U/S on the 15th. But that's all I'll say since its her story to tell. Well I am going to have the shower. And we decided on the name Tyson John. My son asked me if he could name his brother Dash. So his nickname will be and is now Dash. Lol. So what are you ladies doing to make time go past. I'm so bored out of my mind I think I'm loosing it. You would think I'm busy with four kids but I just feel like I have no energy or patients for them now. I need for June to get here so I can get back to my old self again.

OMG starlight im so sorry for ur loss :( my heart ached when i read the news korey, its so sad to know that someone had to go through this suffering after all this time. im praying that God will give u the strength to be patient and grant u another baby that would be healthy and make ur life bright and cheerful. please forgive us but we didnt know before that. I pray that all of us will have healthy pregnancies for the rest of our months and will deliver healthy babies that will make our lives a better place to be. korey i love the name u've picked. and i loved the idea of nicknaming him dash :D hilarious big brother he would be hehe.. its so sweet of u to involve him :) i agree with u about the sour/salty cravings meaning boy and sweet meaning girl.. we all had wacko salty cravings and we're having boys. so plz tracy keep us posted to know if our guessing is correct :) as for the guessing game about where i come from, do u wanna participate korey and tracy? :D i dont think that rcmiller will have an easy time guessing, not cz its a difficult country. but i think that im the ONLY one on here that is from that region. we'll see :) if u dont guess it right, i'll give u a REALLY straight forward hint that will make it much easier for u :) take care mommies, its late in here now 1 am and i need to get some sleep. when will june come? im not sleeping either way :p lol

Ok my guess is Isreal.

I Change my mind my guess is Saudi Arabia

I have had some major anxiety the last few days, is something wong??? Is this common?? I am not due in June but July, hoping someone can give me words of wisdom. I also heard about starlight on babycenter.com, and I am devastated for haer and her family. In my prayers!!!! This whole story hasn't helped my anxiety either. I am soooo sad for her and her family.

sorry due early July...7/9/2009, i ahve my 16w appt tomorrow, and cannot wait for some rea__surance everything is fine.

Wow! everyone is talkin', that's so fun! I've been enjoying the guessing game too :P I also think it's very funny that 7 degrees is too cold lucy :) Not that it gets much below maybe -5 here.. I have no idea where your from except you said Asia right? and your name doesn't sound chinese-ish.. so tibet? or somewhere around the north of india.. or cambodia? orrr veitnam. I am wildly guessing. I've been doing well, worrying some, I'm so very sad to hear about Starlight! I count down the days and weeks because I'm also frightened of going into preterm labor. On friday night I was tired and feeling a little crampy, maybe I was jsut sore, so dh and i watched a movie in bed for the evening, and I kept feeling a tightening in my belly.. like I could feel my belly and it would be hard as rock and then it would not be. But there was absolutely no pain, but I was getting so freaked out about it, I wouldn't let dh touch me in case he made it worse and I started trying to time when it happened.. it would be like 25-30 minutes apart though and then we went to sleep so I'm sure it was nothing... but does anyone know, I'm 20 weeks, is that too early for Braxton hicks? that was my worry, that it was too soon for something normal like that. Other than that my baby seems just fine, I feel the little one SOOOO much, oooppps my husbands here, I'll have to finish this tomorrow. bye!

wb overtaken! :) yeah lol lots of talking :p im loving my 2nd trimester and seems that everybody else are enjoying it too thanks God :) braxton hicks are normal dear just relax, i freaked out the other day cz im 17 weeks and have been feeling them for a few days now and thought that it was way too early, i dont remember when i had felt them with dd! we do forget really fast :p korey, i think i'll have to say that the guessing game was about to end :p u were so close except that u had changed ur mind :p im not from israel dear, its palestine. i hold a jordanian pa__sport. my next hint was going to be that it was all over the news the past few weeks. sadly :( but plz allow me to say that korey ur smart! hehe i liked how ur first guess was so close :) now we have to start another guessing game about something else :p that was fun hehe..any suggestions? amy, its hard not to stress out but i would tell u to think positively and wait till ur appointment..hoping that all will be ok and u will get to see ur little one kicking and swimming in there happily :)

Hey girls, I'm beat! As you know, my 12 y old is coming home on saturday but will start her journey on my Thursday and I was stressing out b.c I had no one to pick her up in LA and keep her overnight till her flight the next day. So I woke up at 6 and started in on the phone calls straight away. We used to live in San Diego for a couple years so I know lots of people down there and by golly it took me about 4 hours on the phone to round someone up! I was getting very anxious. Then I quickly bought some tickets online to take the other 2 kids to the Australia Zoo. It's only 20 min from our house but we had never been there. So I have spent all afternoon at the zoo and we had a good time. My mom had given us some $ for c-mas and so I decided to do something that we wouldn't do otherwise cuz its really so expensive! Anyways, took lots of pics and will send them to my mom in a little album so she has a nice little reminder of her gift to us. So I read most of these responses this am but had absolutely no time to respond. I see Lucy is from Palestine! Wow! That's interesting. I wonder what it would be like to be from that part of the world. So war torn and violence eh? I'm so shocked and saddened by Starlights news. I just wish it was different for her. Poor girl. Well, I'm beat so gonna go. Glad everythig went well with the inlaws trace.

rc, oh God that sure was a hard time trying to sort out where ur dd would stay! im glad u had a good time with ur kids at the zoo :) ur mom would love the album idea im sure :) i gotta go now give my dd a good bath cz she needs it lol :D

Well I also feel very saddened and shocked by Starlights news. I'm not a churchy person in the slightest, but i too will say a little prayer for her and hope that she can find a way thro this. I wish you all the best for your future luv xx Not that much happening with me just now, still got to meet my scary in laws. Will keep you all posted. Luving reading everyone's comments and glad we have a few new names. Speak soon girls xx

Hi Ladies, RC sounds like you had a full day! My weekend was also pretty full, after friday night. i went to preregister at the hospital on saturday, which was interesting, I was quite impressed with the facilities actually, they have LDR rooms so they never move you and the baby is with you the whole time after birth. I don't have to deal with emerg. either or anything, when I go into labor I can go right to the birthing unit, so i thought that was nice too. I've been finding myself hungry SO much, for the first time I think in my life I got up in the middle of the night to have a snack the other day, because my stomach felt empty. and Like I said before my baby seems to like to turn somersaults... all night long!, I like the feeling though, it's not strong enough to keep me awake yet. Oh, thanks lucy, i'm glad I'm not the only one with braxton hicks. It's been better the last few days, so I'm not so worried, although still carefully counting the weeks down. I pa__s the time by going on pregancy websites :P and watching informative videos about baby care, or birth. I also read a lot about giving birth, cus it helps me feel ok with the idea, I like to know what to expect, it relaxes me. Poor DH isn't quite ready for that yet. He won't talk about anything connected to labor, but he's willing to come to prenatal cla__ses with me. NE ways I'm at work, so I'd better run, talk to you all later.
