Hi Everyone

WOW its been a while since I was last on and so much has happened!

Queenh - wow 2 girls, how perfect. And you have chosen such beautiful names! Congratulations. As much as men think they want a son their hearts melt over their girls, your husband will love it!

Congratulations to all the new pregnant ladies,I hope you have a perfect pregnancy and baby at the end of the 9 months.

Most of all I want to congratulation Possums! Possums I have been following you for a while as we were going through treatment at very similar times and I was so sorry when you had the ectopic. Congratilations on the natural miracle, that is the best xmas present anyone would ask for. I was so excited to read about your news!

I wont even bother with personals as I have read so many pages to get up to date and my mind is all scrambled now.

A few topics come to mind though..

...eating too much fruit? I have never been told to cut down on fruit in my 1st pregnancy or this one. I guess if you have a sugar issue then yes you need to stay away otherwise my OB has not told me to watch the amount I eat

...Weight gain! Haha funny topic. I think some people no matter how hard they try tend to gain weight quickly in pregnancy. I did with my 1st approx 20 kg and am with this one too. A little slower this time and hopefully not 20 though Good thing is if you try hard enough it should all come off in the end. Most of mine did and I was lazy with the last couple b/c it didnt bother me too much. Just eat healthy is the key, and dont stress. My OB told me not to obsess too m uch about it.

...when do you show? I think if you are thinner you show sooner or it becomes more obvious sooner. I am normal sort of weight and 1st time about 18 weeks you could really say I was pg, this time, I think 15-16 weeks and I looked pg. Ofcourse I had that buldging stomach from very early on, esp b/c I tended to gain the first few kilos quickly.
This time I was in maternity clothes not long after my 1st trimester whereas 1st time around I was in most of my normal clothes until 18 weeks. Each pregnancy is different, dont worry too much about it. One of my friends only started showing after her 5th month and still had a 3.5 kg baby.

AFM all seems to be tracking well. I am feeling baby kicks now. Have been feeling movement for a little while but started feel actual kicks at 17 weeks. Not hard enough to feel externally but very nice and reassuring. Its a beautful feeling when you are so tired and bored at work and want to go home and all of the sudden you feel a kick. Wakes me up and makes me smile!

Anyway, Happy New Year to everyone, try not to party too hard on your new years eve celebrations Personally I have no idea how I will make it to midnight!
