Little Baby update

  • BuanaB

    So, 4,5months on the way now and I still feeling good!!! :D

    No sickness, a little bit of passionate hormones :rolleyes:
    Last couple of weeks it has been difficult for me to take my time..
    I'm always buzy and I still don't agree with my body to take some rest now and then… (I just can't... and I just not want to let Kas do all the work.. hmzz)

    With the baby is everyting great! It's a buzy little "thing" (I have to keep my mouth shut about if it's a he or a she)
    It kicks me almost the whole day with breaks of a few hours...
    So nice to feel it's "moving" and so "a live"

    Last week we had a ultrasound from the little one and that's the (in holland) famous 20weeks ultrasound.
    They check as much as possible, from health to measurements.

    Everyting went very well, the measurements all fine and there was a nice little thing.. :
    The days before I thought I feld "it" but I never knew for sure.
    When the ultrasound machine was on my belly above the little one, he KICKED so hard against the machine (almost if he wanted to say, heee get lost!!!) And I felt it BUT we all saw it on the screen!!!
    (a nice really hard kick!) hahaha

    Tooooo great!!!!

    My belly grows hard, it's a real eyecatcher now :D

    We collected (too) much clothes, toys and little nice things for the baby and almost every other nessesary thing we already bought!

    Here the ultrasound pics:


    Inside the red circle, are the little feets


    At the arrow, the little fingers :D


    I love this one, at the arrow, is the nose.
    It's a pic of the little head from the right side


    The head and the belly of the baby, he lies on his back with his head pointed to the ultrasound machine. you can see a ear!

    Uhm… O NO!!!!

    Well, we call "it" often he, that's an agreement with my parents, we all call it "he" so we can't tell too much.....

    But.. uhm..... I think that's why I said it...:D

    Aww….I have a funny related ultrasound story. I got pregnant right around the same time as our Bella. At four weeks into her pregnancy we took her for an ultrasound, and I took then 4 year old Ethan with me, so he could see the puppies. Of course, I didn't know *I was pregnant at this time. So after our first ultrasound for my pregnancy at 12 weeks, we found out it was TWINS (eek!)...so we took the ultrasound pics back to my parents house where Ethan was staying, and showed them to him....he said "are these Bella's puppies??" and when we told him that there was going to be more than one little sib for him....he thought it was pretty cool...thank goodness someone did at that point ;)

    This is why I hate posting. I wasn't mad at you either, just didn't think you understood the process. We've all had bad experiences which is why we need to learn from others. There are quicker methods (think wringing their neck-literally) but that's not something I could do. Chopping off the head I have no problem with when the bird is older, but little chicks and ducklings get to me. I know better when going to the vet now, but, at that time, I thought the vet knew what she was doing-obviously not.(with the dog that she blew four veins) This dog was 17 1/2 years old and didn't deserve that at the end of life. He may have been struggling, but you would think after she blew the first vein she would have sedated him then rather that keep trying. Yes, I was with the dog and was not happy with her explanation. There was no reason for it. There are still a lot of people (they just don't admit to it, because they don't know a better method? or just couldn't be bothered? Who knows?) who still use the freezer method. Am I cruel, I can be when I have to be, but I just prefer a simpler method. And I am well aware of the rocks in the sack method. My father was from the old country (hungary) and could be quite cruel. They were never pets or living things-simply livestock-but he wasn't a nice person anyway. As for the vet not putting an animal to sleep? Lived it. I had one dog who was off the wall. Something was simply crossed upstairs neurologically. He started having seizures at about 18 months, but came out of them viciously and could never settle down. The vet insisted I sign him over to him and if he deemed it necessary, he would put him to sleep since he was so young. Yes, there was a euthanasia contract to that effect. The vet kept him for a few days, phoned me up and asked me how I lived with him so long. He could not believe how bad he was. He did put him to sleep after that. But these are a couple of reasons why I am so leary of vets. I've had a few bad experiences with them.

    I'm so jealous! I haven't been able to ride in ages. Super expensive in the city to own a horse and hard to find a place that let's you actually lease a horse… walking trail rides get to be a bore after a while. She looks so pretty and great work with her :) If she needs exercise cause of your work schedule, have you tried seeing if there's an equestrian program in your area with a student willing to do some riding? Sometimes they get credit if it matches up with their program or they might like the chance just to practice their schooling :) Unless you're planning to be the only rider, just thought I'd suggest it. Keep up the good work!

    Maya has caught a pigeon out of the air once, she jumped about 4ft from a standstill and grabbed it, then didnt seem to know what to do with it! That was when she was just a puppy too..! So i am very careful if i do have her out with the birds (very rarely), she is kept on a very short lead and not left out of my sight for a second. She has never attempted to grab at them but she is a bit to fascinated by them for my liking..! :D Ruby will look like this as an adult: [image: 2362033537_a4abc5e17b.jpg] [image: 3534770357_90b7ed532f.jpg?v=0] Not a whole lot different to how she is now, she will lose the blue ring around her neck and instead will have a red ring going around the top of her neck and just a blue nape instead of the blue ring. She will also lose the black feathers in her red chest. Really she will just have clearer colours than she does now, the baby colours are not as bright and vibrant and have a lot of black/blue feathers mixed in with the other colours.

    Cute! One point of worthless trivia is that I have personally seen every Panda that has ever been in the U.S.. Don't ask me why, it has just somehow worked out that way.

    My best friend use to own an African Gray. They are one of the best speaking birds in the world. I'm sure Little Mama's vocabulary will continue to increase over years to come. My friend's bird would shreek "Hello" if the phone rang, and "come in" if the doorbell rang. Sidney could even speak in whole sentences, which sometimes were hard to understand.
