♡ January Snowdrops 2019 ♡

[Emsabub]

Giggle he’s being stubborn ! How fast this year has gone October 1st will soon come around!

Molly cheers! Never tried ginger ale though

Nova how exciting 😁 are wonderful isn’t it! This ones exactly the same

Kiwi I know what you mean, sometimes things get missed. Don’t feel like you’re being ignored I don’t talk very often, sometimes I don’t know what to say or don’t want to talk about myself for fear of sounding vain
Are you 21 weeks already though?! It’s crazy. I saw the dream thing too and it’s so strange to think, I wonder if some of those hard kicks are from her dreaming 🤔That butter beer thing, sounds so strange.

I think we’ve settled on a name now! This little girl will be called Daisy Just need to decide on a middle name!

 

[Kiwiberry]

Emsabub, cute name!!! Middle name are always the hardest . Yeah LOL, butterbeer is more of like a Harry Potter milkshake only without ice cream. I was a huge Harry Potter fan, I had to have one. It does taste pretty good.

 

[NovaStar]

Omg butterbeer is awesome. If you like butterscotch. We went to Universal Studies a couple years ago and had some at Harry’s Potter World. Delish!

Awww Daisy is such a sweet name! Very lovely. Recognizable but still quite uncommon.

The next two weeks will be consumed with birthday planning for my daughter. She’s turning 5! Ahh! Where did the time go? I need to get addresses for the kids at her school she’s inviting. We’re not inviting her whole class so I have to do it the old fashioned way...snail mail. My daughter is having a Fairy Tale themed party. I’ll provide various paper masks, like dragons, unicorns, fairies (wings for those), and crowns. The kiddos will just run around the backyard and hopefully have a good time. I don’t like planning games because I find the kids would rather just do their own thing at this age.

 

[MollyMoon]

Sorry kiwi didn't mean to ignore you.. The only time I experience that is when I sneeze with out preparing myself and if I wait too long to go pee as I go sit down to go... Sorry if tmi

I know it's so exciting to feel and see the harder kicks isn't t it Nova and everyone! By the time I tell dh to look or feel she stops kicking lol
But it makes it feel more real..

Daisy is a sweet name and very uncommon... Good pick!

 

[Emsabub]

Thanks girls ☺️

Kiwi when you say milkshake that actually sounds good. I was literally thinking butter in tea or something.. I know I’m odd.

Nova I know how you feel! But that must feel like a whirlwind 5 years! My daughter is two a week today and we’re waiting for Saturday for her soft play party 😁

Molly & kiwi the wee thing, I’m guilty of that too. Unless it’s down to having a baby before, it’s a bit embarrassing.
This one is also the same for stopping when I try and get my other half to have a feel. He’s got heavy hands though so says he can’t feel it! It’s not really real to him until she’s here though.

 

[MollyMoon]

So when you said butter beer I immediately thought of actual beer with a buttery perhaps caramelish flavor!

Now I'm having a root beer to distract that thought heehee

 

[Wriggley]

Kiwi I literally just sneezed and peed

Lovely ems at the moment the top of our list of baby names is Bonnie Linda (first name and middle name)

Kiwi, I don’t get on during the weekend usually but I’m on and just read your post. So, you have a lot more discharge at this stage and I’m definitely having it. It’s clear and it fades to yellow. I’ve been wearing a panty liner for a while bc of it. I’m sure it is all normal and I’ve read a lot about it when it started happening to me. hugs mama!

 

[MissMarpleFan]

I’m on 2-3 pantiliners per day and my doctor said that is not abnormal. I should buy stock in Always.

Daisy is a cute name, I like flower names.

Anyone else having hip pain? My right hip to halfway to my knee has been hurting most of the time for a week now. If I take a walk (really my only exercise ) it is much much worse later that day. I found a 5 minute pregnancy workout on YouTube that stretches my legs/hips a lot and I think it helps some. When I called the doc about this last week she said she’d recommend physical therapy if it didn’t get better, that she didn’t think it was sciatica because my butt isn’t tingling or something.
Sigh.

 

[Kiwiberry]

NovaStar, sounds like a cute birthday party!! My youngest is turning 2 on Thursday!!

Emsabub, it's a little strange but my daughter's name is Ava as well and her birthday is on Thursday, she will also be turning 2 .

Wriggley, cute names!!

MollyMoon, mmmmm I love root beer and birch beer.

Thanks ladies, I feel much better about leaking. I was really starting to get scared with my past experience and all the horror stories online.

Does the pain reach into your back as well?

Today it’s starting to be in my lower back.. maybe because I spent the day lying around after my 1 mile walk this morning. I hate feeling so out of shape.

I’m thinking of trying a prenatal yoga class but I don’t think it starts until 9/17.

 

[NovaStar]

I love you guys, haha! I’ve been wearing panty liners since entering the second trimester. And my hips started hurting so bad the last couple days! Like I strained them or something but I’m literally sitting on my butt most of the day. I’ll take an evening walk but it seems to just make me feel worse! Lol...how can some women exercise during pregnancy? No clue. I am worried about my core strength though, trying to do some small things to help strengthen my tummy muscles and doing kagels everyday. And yes...I totally pee a little when I sneeze but that’s nothing new. Been doing that since having DD.

 

[RandaPanda]

The name Daisy is adorable! It was on our list, but a friend named her daughter that, so that's kind of how we landed on Maisie instead

I don't have much hip pain, but have had lower back problems for all three of my pregnancies.

Kiwi, I also sometimes pee when I sneeze (or even once when I got up too quickly to scoop up my son from doing something dangerous). One of my jobs is in a physiotherapist clinic that specializes in pelvic floor health, and we see a lot of women during pregnancy and postpartum. What the physios will say is that "leaking is extremely common, but not normal" and what they mean is that the pelvic floor is understandably weakened from things like childbirth, age, etc. but there are ways to treat it through pelvic exercise (not just kegels). I feel like such a fraud working at the desk (I'm the office administrator) and not having my pelvic health be up to par currently - but I'm also trying to decide when and which physio I feel like having know me that up close and personal Mwel makes a good point too though - the amount of discharge at this stage is often quite heavy! But if you're ever concerned something could be amniotic fluid, all the doctors and midwives here say not to hesitate to go in for a check (I have several friends who have done so, and it turned out to be urine, but it's best to be safe)

 

[mwel8819]

I’m a nervous wreck for the anatomy scan tomorrow. :/

 

[MissMarpleFan]

I'm sure everything will be fine!

I discovered the heating pad last night for my hip/leg pain. It still hurts today but it's better since I didn't take one of my walks. I'm not sure whether to call the doctor again tomorrow or just wait until my appointment next Monday and let her make me go to physical therapy if it hasn't gotten better. ($$$)

 

[NovaStar]

I’m a nervous wreck for the anatomy scan tomorrow. :/

Aww, it’ll be okay! How have the scans gone so far? Good heartbeat and positive feedback? It can be stressful but it’s more likely to be totally normal than anything else.

The butterbeer i made was supposedly a copy-cat recipe from Harry Potter World at Disney. Never been so not sure how it compared, but OMG it was good! I did tweak the recipe a bit though. I can't remember the specifics but there was cream soda, butter flavoring, and i think you're supposed to put in butterscotch and vanilla extracts but instead I added butterscotch ice cream which was amazing. There was also a homemade whip cream topping (it had vanilla as well), and guests could put in spiced rum if they wanted to. It was insanely sweet (Harry describes it as "sickly sweet" in the book) but ohhh sooo good. It was all finished at the party...but to beer fair i might have to credit the rum addition for that.

Kiwi if you're randomly leaking, like not just when you strain your pelvic muscles, might be worth checking out just in case. It's an extremely simple test to see if it's amniotic fluid, they just wipe it on a strip and see if the strip changes colors. It's probably just normal gross vagina stuff though

And I too feel like I kill threads a lot.

 

[RandaPanda]

Giggle, you don't! It's like crickets chirping after every time I post

Good luck for tomorrow mwel - I bet all will be great, and excited to hear your update

 

[mwel8819]

Thanks everyone. It is 4 am here and I can’t sleep. So much anxiety and excitement for today. Yes, nova, everything has been great but we don’t get many scans so I haven’t seen the baby since 7 weeks. Hubby saw the baby at 11 weeks bc of my scare though and he said everything looked great. We will see!
