2014 April Rainbows

[ebonymama]

i dont think anyone is as bloated as me....

so to lindsay: the apt is actually on the wednesday so the countdown is on....i praying everything goes AOK....

 

[Lisa85]

Ill share another one hope!!! This is a first thing in the morning belly from someone who usually has a flat stomach!!

 

[Lisa85]

How i do up my pants!! lol

 

[IcePrincess]

That is too funny lisa!

 

[vietmamsie]

Lisa - I love it! So funny! I can't even fit into my pants anymore. I think hips have gotten wider along with my ass. I am relegated to leggings these days.

 

[Lisa85]

haha!! Yeah that was about 2 weeks ago... i couldnt wear them now... my ass got to big. I had to go buy the size up for the first time in my life. It was sad!!

 

[Brieanna]

Lisa1985-how funny! I have heard people say a bella band works great, but have never tried it.

I wish I had a bump! My jeans are too tight, but it just seems like I ate a big dinner instead of growing a person. I am now mainly wearing my yoga pants when I go out and pjs when I am home.

This week I am starting to take pictures of the progression of my "bump" (more of a before this week, lol). I have the room set up and the same outfit saved so that every week when I take a picture it will look the same and I have a cool collage at the end.

It is a big step for me because I am actually acknowledging the fact there is a baby in there without feeling like I am completely jinxing it.

 

[vietmamsie]

Brianna: Those belly pictures sound nice! I was thinking of doing something like that as well, but I sort of weird about it now. I don't really know what I would do with them at the end, you know? Plus I am already so massive, I would have to take the picture first thing in the morning to get an accurate picture of where I am currently at!

I also feel like it safe to start a little baby book now. I have a little note book I have wanted to use, and I can glue in pictures and things. I think I will put it on my sunday 'to do' list!

Ebony, I'll keep my fingers crossed for Wednesday then

Lisa, nice little bump!

Lol, I am relegated to leggings and yoga pants now too.

Brieanna and Vietmamsie, I'm glad you are both starting to feel comfortable about doing baby related things. I'm starting to feel "safer" too... yesterday hubby and I were discussing what our first baby related purchase might be

 

[hope4rainbow]

vietmamsie- I look forward to your 20 week bump! I'm sure you've got a beautiful bump right now!

morgan- Congratulations!! Lovely picture and wonderful news measuring ahead! I'm wishing we had a home doppler right about now...

lindsay- Those odds are so comforting, it's so neat to see them moving around too!

ebony- Best of luck for Wednesday, can't wait to hear your good news!

Lisa- Beautiful bump! I've been doing the same trick with my jeans, about to give in and buy new stuff to wear to grow into...

Brieanna- My sil says the same thing about the bella band, I'll have to look into it. Those bump pictures are a great idea!

Lindsay- Thinking about buying baby stuff is so much fun!

So last night, I was rear ended. My mom was with me, thankfully, and it wasn't bad. I'm terrified though. No pain, cramping, or spotting, so I'm hoping everything is okay in there. The lady that hit me felt horrible when my mom told her I'm pregnant. My mom was very reassuring. She doesn't think we were hit hard at all and that everything is fine. We go back to the doctor in a little over a week. I'm going to call the office on Monday though to let them know. Scary stuff, I don't even want to drive anymore, which of course, I can't avoid...

 

[Lisa85]

Brieanna, ive been doing those pics every single day since week 7 so i can put together one of those stop motion videos.

Hope, i hope you're ok. I think just a pump in the rear would be ok.

Vietmamsie, its never to late to start! It just something nice to have and you might get towards the end and wish you had done some pics. Cant hurt anyways!

Cant wait for my 12 week scan on Wednesday!!!
I had a dream last night that i gave birth to a baby boy at home!! I was so happy when i woke up!

 

[Kasey84]

Beautiful baby bumps ladies! So wonderful to see

Hope- that accident must have been scary! Hope your feeling well!

 

[ebonymama]

thanks for the good cheer ladies,,,,,

cant wait to see whats going on....

well i suffer with pcos as well.... and i havent been taking the metformin....i couldnt stand being sick from the pregnancy and pooping all the time ...so i stop taking it....now my waistline is more extended adding to the pregnancy making me look further along than usual...

ah well...it will be over soon...

 

[Lisa85]

I had my first hospital appointment today... very happy. The midwife was lovely, all the staff seemed lovely, they booked all my appointments and classes. Seems much more organised and more friendly than the last hospital i was at (i have moved since my mmc).

12 week scan tomorrow! yay!!!

 

[Kasey84]

Good luck with your 12 week scan tomorrow!

 

[ebonymama]

i to have a scan 2morrow.....

i refuse to worry now i just wanna be excited.....

well hoping to see baby 2morrow.....

 

[Kasey84]

Good luck ebony!!!

 

[hope4rainbow]

Lisa- What a lovely dream! Can't wait to hear about your scan!

ebonymama- Let us know how your scan goes, thinking about you!

I called the dr office yesterday to let them know about the accident. The nurse had me come in to hear the hb. 175 bpm, SO relieved and happy! 12 weeks today!!!

 

[Kasey84]

That's wonderful news hope!

I have my next prenatal appointment Friday and so hoping to hear the hb with the Doppler!

 

[Lisa85]

Great scan... the lady who did the scan was not very reassuring but i think that was just her personality. The baby is measuring at 13 weeks (a week ahead).

Pictures below... the legs are my favourite!!!
