Congratulations on an awesome response from your family! I love hearing other people's stories of good times!
As for the movements, even though it's my first, I started getting a "sloshing" or "swimming" sensation around 11-12 weeks, and had my first kicks at 14w2d. It used to make me sooo mad, everyone telling em I was imagining it or "maybe you just need to go to the toilet". I knew exactly what it was so don't let anyone put you down! Just enjoy every minute of it!
And, for the record, I think "Journey" would be a lovely, unique name! Keep plugging away at DH, you still have 6 months, he may come around! They say if you introduce a new idea to a child 10 or so times they eventually come around and they are just like big kids
Just had a bit of a weight taken off my shoulders. A friend had offered to throw me a baby shower, but I have been asked to limit the numbers to under 25. Well I have a big circle of family & close, close friends, my original guest list was 45. And they are split 50:50 in distance about 160km apart and some wouldn't be able to make the trip, and those I cut out would have really got their noses out of joint. Also my Mum was a little upset about not getting to organise one for me. But the guest list thing has been bugging me for weeks, just trying to make it all work.
So Mum's just asked if she can host a 2nd shower for me! I'm just hoping it doesn't look greedy, I'm thinking of saying "no presents" anyway. Just want to have those I love around me (and those few I don't but am obligated to invite hahaha) celebrating that we actually got here!
