Sazz Make sure you use lots of moisturiser on your tummy hun. I do this morning and night when I get out of the shower. Try not to scaratch either as I've heard this can make the stretchies come out.
Sonya Enjoy all that food while you can sweety. I found I was very hungry early on too and then it eased of a bit during the 2nd tri and I'm starving again in the 3rd although I can't eat a main meal as I feel full not long after I start so I find that I tend to graze alot now. Don't worry about how much or how little weight you put on either cause as long as you and bub are healthy thats all that matters in the end. I have to say that I've put on just 6kg in 33 weeks so I'm pretty happy with that.
Ltl Panda What a lovely thing you and your dh are doing with your embies hun. I'm sure you will make some other couple very grateful and happy. Well done. Wow your almost 20 weeks already. All the best for your scan next Thursday.Are you going to find out if your bub is a B or a G?
DJ I hope your last week at work is not too stressful sweety. Not too long to go now. Have you got your nursery sorted out yet?
Marcellus Enjoy your new jeans hun. I have been living in mine lol. I've now moved on to my 3/4 jeans as the weather is warming up although the button stays undone most of the time lol. Lucky my tops are long enough to cover that bit.
Kimbe All the best for your scan too. Its such an exciting time seeing our little ones and how much they've grown.
I was like you about the antenatal classes too. I've worked with babies and kids of all ages for years and had a very good idea of what to expect but dh on the other hand had no experience whatsoever so we mainly went for him but he didn't enjoy them either. Oh well atleast we went and weren't left wondering if we did the right thing or not kwim?
Claire I'm thinking of you today hun. Take care.
Not much going on here. I'm washing more of Bubs clothes and sheets and wraps etc today. I figure I should do this while the weather is good.
Still a bit unsure of when to finish up at work. I'm finding that I'm getting rather tired very easily these days so we'll see how I go over the next few weeks. Not sure if I'll be working during the school hols yet as it depends on how many kids book in for intensive lessons and if we need to have 2 teachers or just 1. Should know more tomorrow I guess.
Anyway take care everyone.
You craked me up Sazz about the enormous bb's. We seem to be split in two camps...those waiting for just a little, and those wishing for a little less. We are never happy are we
Sonya - i had huge huge hungrys from the minute the embies stuck. I thought it was my mind playing tricks - but boy, i was eating all day long (and a nightime snack too!) But that passed at 7/8 weeks. (Not sure if it had anything to do with losing one). Go with it girl - i've gained a whole 3 kgs (not much i know) but now i'm back at 60kgs which puts me into a 'normal' weight again since i started AC.
Kimbe - are you telling people the gender? I would like to know what you decide. We definitely want to know ourselves, but i'm not sure about telling everyone? Have a great time at the scan!
Kotare Dh and I haven't told anyone what we are having except the belly belly girls. No one even knows that we know as we just wanted a little secret for just us iykwim. I have to say that I have to be careful when I'm out shopping for bub that no one is around that I know. That can be hard at times and I almost got caught out a few months back but I just used the excuse that I was buying a gift for my friend who's also having a little boy
Its so funny because all of dh's relo's keep telling us that I'm having a girl. I just have to say "Do you think so?" or "we'll have to wait and see in a few weeks time" or something along those lines.
Your secret's safe here
Thanks for telling me that - that's kinda the feeling i have towards the whole gender thing. I want it to stay our own little private thing. Although if my big sis is still living with us she may have to be in on it - or else the stock piles of blue or pink things will be a bit of a give away!
I'm not allowed to find out the gender as DH doesn't want to know... hmph. I think it's a boy (no particular reason), Brother and Mum (who's always wrong apparently) reckon girl, and my sister thinks boy. So pretty evenly split. DH just shrugs and says 'whatever'.
Sonya - I was eating non-stop till around 12 weeks, and have only slowed since then cause of indigestion. I was having 2 breakfasts, 2 lunches, dinner, evening snack, then sometimes up again later in the evening to eat some more cause too hungry to sleep.... pig out and enjoy it!
Claire - Definitely hoping for good news. we've all got our fingers crossed for you today. Keep us posted.
Kimbe - I'm channeling a..... girl. Got a 50/50 chance of being right, hey?
I guess it's true, we're never satisfied. I would hate to have people comment on my boobs, or be staring at them like that sazz. still, it'd be nice to fill stuff out on top, ykwim.
Big boobs...... well mine stopped growing, I think it was more fat gain on them...
My DH wants to have it as a surprise at the end so I am not allowed to find out, but I am tempted. Its fun trying to guess.....
Kimbe - what are you hoping on B or G
Sonya1, I was like you too hun, I just ate and ate, now I have returned to normal...my sister gained 10kg in the first 12 weeks, but she too was underweight.
But I am doing well as I exercise a bit so its easier to keep the weight gain down.
Sazz, I hope your boobs are not causing you too much grief, I know they are causing my sister a bit of discomfort.
