No way!

You'll always be Xng to me! Even if we meet some day.

WolfMoon · 02-23-2006, 03:54 PM

BH, ABSO-FAWKING-LUTELY BEE-YOO-TEE-MUS belly shots!

You look so happy.

Blushing Heliophobe · 02-24-2006, 12:32 AM

Thank you everyone!

EPS - no, I swore off pregnancy books because I started getting really upset worrying about my baby. I think I'm at the point where I can breathe a little bit more easily and buying books is on my list. S/he doesn't seem to respond to music - but I do get kicked whenever I 'squish' the baby - like when I slouch at my desk, or roll on my tummy. The cutest thing is, I get goodnight kicks every night when I lay down!

I don't have any parent cred yet, but I think that if they're old enough to wonder about something then they're old enough to recieve an age-appropriate response. I love to hear about your conversations! I'm keeping notes.

Xng - uh, see, I knew that. I was naming my baby after you! (I am kidding but it's cute anyways)

Thank you Wolfie! Actually, I was laughing because the first pictures came out like "The motherfucker taking these pictures is the one who knocked my ass up, dammit". These are the second shots

I want to be able to call her something cute when she's little (like Kat or Katie) but when she's older she can use her more grown up name if she chooses.

EPS - I would love to hear the story!

Hmm I loved my girlfriend's bump when she was pregnant. I think she got fedup of me because I kept carassing the bump, hugging it and playing music which made the baby do a dance in the bump

I once told her, I wish she didnt have to do all the work - the 9 months of carrying the baby and all that. If it were possible, I'd have done the work

Good luck with the baby Heliophobe

Blushing Heliophobe · 02-24-2006, 04:43 AM

Thank you!

We sing a version of that BEP song...

My lovely Baby Bump, not the back, but in the front - check it out!

Again; " Yes. "
He thought for a moment and responded with;
" Do Girls ever Marry Girls and Boys ever Marry Boys? "
I thought for another moment, and decided to explain this one as simply as I could.
" In some States Yes, Girls can Marry Girls and Boys can Marry Boys. "
He says " How come they can't do it everywhere? "
Me;" Because some people think Marriage should be between a Man and a Woman."
Him; " Being a Grown Up is Very Complicated.."
Me; " Yes Baby, it is really, really complicated.. "

Phew.. I never expected those questions so early. I hope I handled it okay. I've always been honest with him, and I don't see any reason not to be now.

E_P_S, you done fine. I think that is absolutely the way I would have answered those questions. At some point, you'll reassure him that although being an adult is complicated, as you get older you get smarter and better at managing it. It might not come out that way, and you may already have done it in some other context. But you will end up having reassured him that when he gets older and life gets more complicated, he'll be up for it. And that's the best lesson a parent can impart.

Yeah. I would have thumped him on the head for talking about kissing and sent him to his room without supper, chain him to the wall and make him pray that God never finds out what a dirty little boy he is.

It's an excellent universal punishment. Sometimes I do it for no reason whatsoever just to keep them guessing. But that's just me.

Don't forget to tell him, "mummy and I will never get a divorce, as long as you're a good boy."

MonsterMomma · 02-28-2006, 10:21 AM

Okay Mummies...I've got a bit of an odd question. I always hesitate to bring it up because I don't want people judging what I know happened as bull. But every time I do, other women tell similiar stories

So, how many of you met your kid(dos) before you conceived/found out you were preggers?

With my daughter, I was in Bali in December. One night, right before we left I was feeling "weird". So I found a quiet spot and closed my eyes. The minute I did, I could see a baby in my arms. I asked the baby who it was, and what it wanted. She said she wanted to be my child, she wanted to be born through me. I told her it wasn't the best time, but if she waited until I was in a better place, I'd be happy to help her.

Travelled for three more months, then came back to NM. Two days after I got back I met my ex-husband, and four months later I was pregnant.

Then I had four miscarriages...oddly enough with pregnancies where there was no "visit".

Now, with this one(yeah, four weeks, but because of the four losses, not getting overly excited) I brought my daughter down for the first time to spend the night at The Beast's. She and I were cuddled on his couch when I looked over and saw a baby sitting on his livingroom floor. Then a few days after she and I moved in, I saw him again. This time he crawled across the floor, pulled himself up by the couch, and stood there looking at me doing "the baby bounce".

Even though I'm trying to keep the exitment at bay until I'm at 12wks with a good heartbeat, I can't help but feel really, really good about this one.

Like I said, usually when I tell the story of my daughter, other women start stepping-up and telling their own version of the story...hearing a child's laughter through their house days before they found out they were preggers. One women bought a doll at a craft sale for "her daughter" a week before finding out she was pregnant, and it turned out the doll looked exactly like her daughter.

So, anyone else here have a story to tell?

Wise Child · 02-28-2006, 10:24 AM

Er... no.

Damn, I feel mundane.

Still though, best of luck with this one. Hopefully the fact that you "saw" this baby too eill prove a good sign!

Blushing Heliophobe · 03-01-2006, 12:49 AM

Wow, that's a trip. I hope all 'visions' don't come true, because I had a dream that my baby came out black - my husband is white

Just to clear the air, no possibilities of that happening in actuality...

So, here's the big news...

IT'S A BOY!!!

Here is Connor Aaron...

Anybody here have a boy, that could see his stuff on the ultrasound screen? That is just amazing! We could even see his little balls. I'm so proud of my boy *sniff*

Wise Child · 03-01-2006, 01:57 AM

Awww! Congratulations, Helio, and fantastic choice of name!

*hugs* You guys must be over the moon

I saw this before I collapsed into a Drooling Heap last night, and it brought tears of Joy to my eyes.

He is simply Perfect!!!

How did you guys react when you heard his Heartbeat for the first time?

We are all soooooooooooo happy for you!!!

*beams*

Oh and I cropped your real names out of the Ultrasound Photo and upped it to my Photobucket. PM me your email, and I will send you the cropped image in case you want to post it somewhere else.

I am SO excited for both of you!!

*HUGE SQUEEZY HUGS*

MonsterMomma · 03-01-2006, 08:58 AM

Congrats!

Your little exhibitionist was showing-off his "parts", huh?

Suiside_Kitty · 03-01-2006, 09:28 AM

I've never pay much attention to ultrasound pics, because usually I can't make the baby out. But I can totally see Connors head! That is so freaking neat..

!!!

Congrats, Helio.

WolfMoon · 03-01-2006, 09:49 AM

Congratulations, Darling!

I love the profile shots! When they were determining sex for our little boy, his looked like a turtle.

Ultrasounds are so amazingly heart warming.

MM, I didn't have any visions or anything before I had my babies. I did feel different, though. Kind of like internally I 'knew' I was preggers both times before I found out, but my waking mind didn't acknowledge it right away.

I found out about a month along with both of them.

I did know what I was having both times before the doctor told me. My husband didn't believe me, of course. My doctor kept telling him that women just 'know' sometimes.

Suiside_Kitty · 03-01-2006, 10:18 AM

Sometimes I think I want a baby, then I think of the 9 months, and what happens at the end of those 9 months, and I change my mind pretty damn quick. I can't even stand having blood taken.. and thats a thin little needle going in... far cry from a big huge baby.. coming out.

Still, it would be awesome to be a mom.

WolfMoon · 03-01-2006, 10:33 AM

I'd say hold off as long as you possibly can. Yeah, I always say that! But you don't want to take that step unless you're absolutely sure about it.

Xng, that sounds cool! Two Lilith's!(eventually)

Yeah!

Shi'ark · 03-01-2006, 10:42 AM

You know some thing I’m brave enough to admit this, I’m scared of having kids of my own, like I’m going to mess them up more then my own family did to me. Is this a good idea not wanting to have children because however good I am with kid, I’m 23 and still am one, I don’t think I’ll make a good father? I only ask because every one I know seems to think I’ll make a great dad, but I don’t know.

JuliaGaltic · 03-01-2006, 01:11 PM

BH, congratulations!!! Little boys are the cutest! I want one girl but that's it, after that all boys for me.

I am 24 and I have a 17 year old sister, 15 year old brother, 12 year old brother, and a 9 year old brother. Yup, the oldest (by a lot) of 5 and mainly boys. Maybe that's why I'm partial to boys.

I've always known I wanted children. Ideally, 2 boys and 1 girl. I even have the names all picked out:

Alexander Charles
Julian Anthony
and
Raquel Marie

Suiside_Kitty · 03-01-2006, 02:28 PM

I always have the same fears of screwing up future offspring in the same way my family did me, too. But I think I can do better. I learned from their mistakes... and I'm learning from mine. I figure, if I ever do have a baby, by the time it happens, I'll be an expert in what not to do, therefore, I'll be able to handle it well enough.

But yeah, waiting is good. I can wait awhile.. lol.
Honestly, I'm pretty sure i'm never going to actually *try* to have one. If it happens, it happens. This is not to say that I'm not careful.. trust me, I am. Very.

Very, very, very. O_O

I just really don't think I could handle a baby right now. Or any time soon for that matter. I'm still too imature myself, and I'm almost 22. Plus.. I've got problems that need worked out before I ever try bringing a tiny baby into the middle of my madness.

But..

You know..

Just in case...

I already have a girls name picked out.

Augustana Ophilia Izolde W.

Yeah, lame thing to do when all I can think about is how I don't want one any time soon. Oh well.

03-01-2006, 02:30 PM

Don't feel bad... I do it too.

The names I have picked out are:
Skylar or Skyler
Trinity
Lillth
Azriel

Suiside_Kitty · 03-01-2006, 02:44 PM

Pretty names, darkangel.

JuliaGaltic · 03-01-2006, 03:17 PM

It's very likely that I'll have twins. My great-grandmother's sister had twins, my grandmother's sister had twins, and my mother had twins (unfortunatelly, they didn't make it . That's why I'm the only child on my mother's side. My dad is the one who had my siblings.).

It doesn't even skip generations so I'm looking forward to having twins. A cute name for a boy and a girl set of twins I always thought, would be: Avery and Ivory. Sadly, these names don't translate well in Spanish so I can't do it.
