♡ January Snowdrops 2019 ♡

Random. But oh my I am hot tonight!! I have 2 fans on, a light/ceiling fan on full and standing fan on rotate, giving me breeze from head to toe:haha:
 
My whole family literally only has girls, so I'm expecting my 4th and final girl. 4 teenage girls at once will be enough:haha: but will definitely come back and report once I get confirmation:)
Boo about your partner's snoring, I hate trying to fall asleep listening to snoring. I normally go to sleep first, but if I don't I'll sleep in another room to avoid hearing it!

That's good, we need more girls this month. :winkwink:

I am definitely the woman for the job:haha:
 
So we finally got pre-approved for a mortgage! Yay!!!

But now we don’t have enough for a down payment because I’ve been sick and had to pay for doctors bills and my insulin and insulin pump supplies... booooo!

My husband, 5 year old and I are currently living in a 1 bedroom apartment and it’s so so so cramped. It’s going to be insane in we can’t get into a place of our own. Doesn’t help that we live somewhere super expensive too. The townhouses that we are looking at are about 1.5 hours away from where we work but anything closer and we’d be house-poor... I don’t want to live under that stress!

I don’t expect anyone to contribute but if you could share our gofundme link, I’d be most appreciative!

Kiwi hope you’re feeling a bit better! I got hot flashes a few weeks ago, definitely not fun. Also, I would get nauseous halfway through eating. I’ve be fine at first then take one bite too many and my body was like YOU'RE DONE NOW. I am hoping that stage is in the past now...now I’m just eating like a horse.

My MIL is visiting this week! Love her. I’m lucky to like my in-laws. She brought ALL our old baby stuff we had stored at my parents house in CA. Going through it all is fun but I had to throw out a lot because of stains or whatever. A lot of it was already used when I got it for my daughter so now some are SUPER used. But still, I don’t have a ton of shopping to do which is nice. Just some new swaddles, burp cloths, and bibs. I’m only 17 weeks but I want my baby girl already! Haha! I’m so impatient.
 
Hi Lexi!
How are you & the twins doing?
This one & I are doing good so far, not really feeling much apart from little nudges here & there.

Mwel what did you do for your first reveal?! Sounds interesting!

Me and the boys are doing great. Just still so surreal that I'm having 2! Haha.

And cuddle your welcome. I know how u feel with busy. I'm 18 weeks on Saturday and have a scan followed by consultant every 2 weeks. I'm glad I get to see babies are doing well and it's all for good reasons but I literally feel like I'm living from app to app lol!

Heat isn't too bad here thankfully although doesn't stop me from getting like an oven. Very tires all the time and feeling a little lousy that I don't have much effort to do anything as it's the school summer holidays. But fortunately I have a very large garden and the kids love the pool and trampoline lol!.

Also potty training my 2 year old at the mo so we are at the no pants constantly stage so that's good for staying in!! Haha x
 
Missmarple hopefully it was a one off :hug:

Bbbb that sounds like heaven! The temp is supposed to drop to early 20s here after tomorrow and I can’t wait!

ER at least you know you’re able to get a mortgage, that’s a start :) Deposits are hard to save for with kids I think, it’s a bit rubbish. But hopefully it’ll get better soon.

Nova that was lovely if your MIL to bring the bits, it is nice buying new things though. Girls stuff is just way too cute sometimes 😩 it’s dangerous. I’m only 18 Weeks too and desperate to see this baby, a little early would be nice but I’m not so sure since it’s SO close to Christmas. I’ll be 38 Weeks Christmas Eve, eeek!

Lexi I bet it is, will the twins be your last then?
Good luck for the potty training too!

Most definately! My husband wants the snip lol! 5 is definately enough for me haha...

I'll be 37 weeks on the 22nd of December if I haven't already gone naturally they won't allow me past 37 weeks so either way I've to expect them here for Xmas. Depending on when they are born will depend on whether they are born for Xmas. Bit as long as they are healthy and in the best place I'll be fine! Xx

It was the fact that the decorations and food were over the top. It took us a week to decorate. We just did balloons but we had games and just the perfect party. Hard to describe. I'll attach some pics. All of my guests were saying it was awesome.

These were just a few of the decorations. I don't have pics of everything. :(

The theme was whoooo will it be. Get it? lol!

So cute mwel!!! See I surprised hubby at his bday but wish we had gone all out with the party. Oh well...maybe if we have a fourth :haha:

Ers have you considered moving out of nova? We made that move about 4 years ago. Came down to central state instead and freaking love it compared to up there! UVA has a fantastic medical rep down here. Or live between c'ville & Richmond and work there in "the big city". Just a thought! My folks and some close friends are up there. Driving for visits isn't bad at all (about 2 hours).
 
Is it possible to have Braxton hicks this early??? I've not felt my uterus tighten per se but feel the weird hallow sensation in my belly i get when i have them (at least how I remember that feeling from last time).

Hmm I wouldn't think you should be having them yet but it is probably just some other kind of pregnancy thing going on...I know I have all kinds of weird feelings in my tummy these days.

Edited to say, I looked it up. They can start as early as second but are more commonly seen in third. I still think it is something else you are feeling.
 
Hi ladies been a bit mia trying to keep up with the thread those reveal pics are lovely my mum is doing us a reveal on the 26th of this month!

Lexi that’s fair enough, 5 is a good number I think aha! 2 will be my limit! They’ll be a lovely Christmas present for you, hectic though!

Mwel a week?! It looks lovely though from those photos!

Giggle I’m really not sure personally, maybe it’s different for everyone. I hope it starts feeling better regardless :hugs:

Wriggley welcome back ! I remember feeling like that with the eating before you feel sick, it’s like you don’t want to eat cod you feel rubbish but you have to or you’ll feel even worse. Can’t win!
That’s a cute announcement, cat in the hat?

Tonight’s so rubbish girls :( cakes were done tonight but one of my favourite medical shows Holby City has been put back to tomorrow, grrr!

Yes, a week....I had about 3 ladies working on it at night each day. Then the day before we were up until 3 actually decorating. Like I said, this wasn't everything but I didn't have pics of the other two rooms. :(

It was the little things that took so long. It took forever to find ALL of the candy and cookies and sour straws that were the same color....etc. Took forever to figure out how to use a cricket (sp?) to do the paper cutwork. We did paper owl lanterns and we made those...not easy lol! Just a lot of crafty stuff that I'm not good at really. I'm more analytical than creative.
 
Sorry to cut in ladies, My 4yo was just really rough with me and shoved the top of my bump really hard. While I know the baby is well below the top of my bump, I'm stressing out that it can have a bad adverse effect on me and the baby, especially since my placenta is anterior. Has anyone's older little one been rough like that with you and your babes are fine? I can't get ahold of my doc until tomorrow, so i'm pretty stressed.
 
Cuddlebug- I wouldn’t worry too much. I don’t think that kind of trauma makes much of an impact unless you’re super far along and the baby is closer to the surface. Right now, there is a lot of padding between the outside of your stomach and the placenta. I’m sure it’ll be fine.

I’m feeling huge right now. Like all my organs have been pressed up into my rib cage and the baby is the size of a cantaloupe. I know that’s not reality but I feel that way! I also feel like I’m nothing but a giant gas bubble. Ladies, it’s coming out of both ends all the time...burps and toots all day long. Thanks baby! Lol. I feel like bending over is already uncomfortable. I wish I as further along so I was justified in feeling this way!

Aww Gabby pushes on mine too and it scares me to death and it makes me a little sick too. I am pretty sure the baby is safe inside that little sac. I could be wrong but that is what I'm going with. Let me know what the doc says.

Yep! I get ya completely. Guessing it only gets worse. I got over the nausea and now I have indigestion 24/7.
