Wishes~ Regarding the movements and the placenta,the fact that it is in the front WILL cushion your bubs movements.your little one will be kicking away so try not to worry.My peanut has been going strong since 17 weeks and my placenta is at the back so i feel everything but some days she is quieter so i just use my rented doppler to reassure myself.
Secretly wanting a girl too? I already have a son so now i will have one of each which is nice.My son is 12 and is my world.he is very,very close to me and i have heard that girls are closer to their dads until they are older.I look forward to making dolls for my daughter (im a doll artist) and sharing that interest with her,as i have had many years of matchbox cars,football,soccer,cricket,ant farms etc...hahahha.
Miss K - so so sorry honey. I hope you and DH are looking after yourselves and find the strength soon to continue your journey
LondonMiss - we're basically flying all over the country - from here to Vancouver to Calgary to Toronto to Halifax (so I can go to Prince Edward Island!) and then catching the train back through Montreal and Quebec City and flying back again to Vancouver. So a few flights there...!
BOC - wow, can't believe you'll be holding your little (or maybe not so little!) one in just over a week, so so exciting!!! Must be quite a surreal feeling to know the date your baby is going to be born!
Wantbaby - more pink There's certainly a few of us now after the big run of blue. And yes, there are so many gorgeous pink clothes out there, even DH likes buying little dresses etc!
Wishes - welcome on board, I wondered where you were!! Hope you have fun doing your big ticket item shopping! I'm still waiting for all my items to arrive, can't wait to set the nursery up.
sammiejam - it certainly helps a little doesn't it to know there are plenty others out there experiencing the same as you. Not in a nasty way, but just so you don't feel so alone and a bit crazy and abnormal.
Emerald Star - I was a bit sad too at having to leave my nice IVF clinic, but I like the staff at my OB just as much so you'll be fine
kyra - hehehe, how can you be clucky when you haven't even had this one yet?! We'll remind you of this in a couple of months and see if you're still feeling the same way!
Hello to everyone else - apologies if i've missed you. Still no computer and scrolling back on my phone takes ages...
I've got my next OB appointment on Tuesday which i'm looking forward to as I have a few questions for her. Mainly, the last couple of days I haven't really felt the Chicklet moving around/kicking much which of course has had me completely worried so i've been Googling like a mad woman. Did anyone else have this at this stage? I'll be 25 weeks tomorrow. She has moved a little, just not much in comparison to before. But then I have an anterior placenta which I understand is supposed to 'hide' most of the movements so not sure what's going on. Anyway, i'll be glad to ask my OB and see what she thinks.
Otherwise i've been busy playing with my new camera! You might remember I was lusting after one recently, and with DH working incredibly long hours the last couple of weeks i've had heaps of time to research, and last week decided to bugger it and buy one. I lurve it, though I really don't know how to use it properly so i'm tring to read all about it!
Hope you're all feeling well ladies and enjoying a lazy Sunday afternoon. Belly rubs to all xx
Morning all. I'm back at work (all together now BOO HISS) but on the up side I am feeling fine this morning, and even better the boss isn't here. Thank goodness the doc was right about the temporary pain! I could not have done that for four more months.
Not too many personals, but Lise - what camera did you get? I'm definitely going to get a new one before Little Miss G arrives and am interested in any feedback you have. My mum's just bought a new one and it's broken after three months, so def not that one!!
Now def tmi alert. I just don't think it is possible that I could fart much more than I am at the moment. It's as if 95% of my total body weight is made up of it at any one time... PLEASE tell me that it's not just me... are you all being polite??
Lise/ wishes - must be a bummer having the placenta at the front, although better than being at the bottom I suppose. Will it always mask the movement, or just to begin with? DH felt his first movement this morning and it really freaked him out. I must admit it's wonderful, although marginally less so when she's booting away for an hour between 1-2am. I read somewhere (but can't remember where) that they have quiet weeks where they are growing and that takes up all their energy so they kick less. I feel a bit like we have 2 quiet weeks and then one growth week, and so on, and I'm conscious that I eat more in that week esp carbs. Maybe just me though. Hope the ob puts your mind at rest. Hope you all have a good week to follow a good weekend.
Just popping my head in to say . Hope you all had a great weekend! I had a good one, DH is back home now and I had my baby shower on Sat. Got lotas of lovely little things and *shock horror* I've actually cleaned them up and put them away already
While I was at my baby shower my Dad finished off the nursery for me, so we're all done now! I'm totally in love with it, could sit in there for hours just staring at the walls Here are some photos, although they don't do it justice. We went with an "Under the Sea" theme as our house is blue throughout and I didn't want to change just one room so wanted a kind of neutral theme. Log In | Facebook
Anyway just wanted to say hi to you all and hope you're all having a happy Monday!
yay for you being finished the nursery hun i know what you mean about sitting in there and just looking at everything ,not long now and bubs will be in there ,trust me im counting down your days now im soooo excited lol.
It has been some time since i posted in this thread but i now have a bit more time on my hands so am looking forward to keeping up with you all.
Plodding along here at 18 weeks. Have my scan on Friday and really really looking forward to finding out if we have a pink or blue bundle of joy!! Have had a nasty cold last five days so trying to get over that but other than the cold, have been feeling brilliantly which i am very grateful for.
