(44) Little Presents - Due in December 2013

[nicky84]

Hi all, sorry for my absence...I have been catching up but work and graduating for my Msc has been keeping me busy.... Had my 20 weeks scan today and all good, and pleased to announce we are having a girl so excited!!!!

 

[Kaiecee]

Congrats on the girl

Congrats Nicky! That puts us at team at 17 and team at 7!


I live in Tennessee and our summers are usually pretty hot, last summer it was at over 100 for like a month. This summer high 80s/ low 90s, its really humid this year, but we have been getting lots of rain which is nice. I'm glad I don't have to stand outside with the hose for 2 hours a few times a week so our plants don't die!

I think it still feels warmer to me with being pregnant, so I'm glad it's not 100! I thankfully have a/c I don't know how you ladies do it without! I couldn't imagine trying to sleep in this heat without a/c...I've already had so many other sleeping issues. Hope it cools off soon for you all! Like someone else said, at least we aren't 8 months pregnant in the summer! Keep cool ladies!

We're have a really cool summer up here, it's a little nuts. It's been around 20c lately Brrrr! Usually we are closer to 30c and even get up higher than that. Normally I'd be upset about the poor weather but I am thankful this year! lol

I thought it was about time I uploaded a bump pic This was actually at 17+4 so two weeks ago. Im loving my bump.

 

[SugarBeth]

Yay, I was just going to ask if anyone was going to share some bump pics, it's been a while! great bump, ready2bmum!

I'm 20 weeks today, and my belly got huge this week! Here's me about an hour ago:

And congrats to everyone who found out the genders! It's DEFINITELY a girl month!

I love your bump Beth!

This is me at 19 weeks and yesterday at 21 weeks. I am so much bigger by the time I go to bed but then it shrinks back down a little by the time I wake up! Does anyone else find that?
I love it though, I literally walk around the house with my belly out all the time
I bought on eBay a sleep bra which arrived today. It is so comfy I can't wait to try it out tonight. My boobs are so heavy I'm worried that when I'm sleeping with no bra on its going to do them some damage for the future! Don't want to end up with them down to my knees haha!
My hypnobirthing cd also arrived today so going to have a listen and find out what it's all about!
Hope everyone is well and feeling lots of kicks! I'm finally getting more and more now I love it

 

[Lara310809]

Yeah, I always have to have some sort of covering in bed too no matter how warm!
The only place to be in the heat is in the water. Are you near the coast?

I see you're expecting another girl. Three little ladies for you soon! There are three girls in my family followed by a boy. It's great to have sisters - always someone to go shopping with!

yes thankfully we are by the coast; here in Gibraltar you can't be more than 1/2 mile from the cost at any time; ites a VERY small place but the trouble with that is that it makes it very humid.

Three girls, I know my husband isn't looking forward to synchronised cycles when they're older

 

[Lara310809]

20 week bump; this feels ridiculously big

 

[DHBH0930]

Love all your bump pics ladies! I haven't been taking any pics cuz I don't like how I look. I just look chubby and lumpy I will start taking and posting pics when I have a nice round belly like you ladies

 

[Suzy_Q]

My 20 week "half-baked" bump! Finally starting to feel like I look pregnant instead of just tubby.

 

[brit3435]

I love all of the bump pictures! Everyone has such cute round bumps, I love seeing the progression!

I went to the doctor today and after my afp level came back high, on top of having my daughter premature and the bleeding earlier in pregnancy he wants me to get weekly progesterone shots. I really don't want to get them, but if it means baby Vayda gets to bake a little longer, its worth it. My first shot is next Monday and will be every week until 37 weeks. I have gained a total of 7lbs so far, I will be 20 weeks on Monday and here is my bump from today!

 

[Kaiecee]

Nice bumps ladies

 

[Hoping girl 2]

Hey ladies, very quiet the last few days. How are you all getting along?

 

[onetwothreebp]

I've suddenly developed morning sickness at night. Not fun.

That sucks! Hope it doesn't last too long for you xx

 

[Lara310809]

I'm getting breathless and it feels like my uterus has taken over my abdomen because my heart feels constricted and sometimes hurts when I breathe in too deeply. I've had this in each pregnancy, but not this early! Also what is up with the constant braxton hicks?! Every time I bend over or do anything I get them. My belly is a rock every time I sit down and I feel so tired. BUT other than that, it's all going smoothly

 

[ready2Bmum]

EDIT: check this out ladies!! what a bargain! I just got a nursing pillow AND baby sling sent to Ireland for about $20!!

Anatomy scan tomorrow..and gender!! Its like Christmas eve in my house! I can't wait!!!

Yay it's finally scan day ready2Bmum, best of luck! It's such a lovely long scan - hope u get a few nice pics! We have a scan today also, they weren't able to see the bottom two chambers of the heart clearly on our 20 week scan so hopefully will get to see our wee wriggler at 2pm today.

A lot of lovely bumps here, ladies. Mine is enormous! Will post a pic for v day, fingers crossed.

Lara, my little one seemed to be up really high for a few days and just going up the stairs left me out of puff. As it is my first, I have no clue what to expect. All I know is that it can really hurt to sneeze!

Sori to read that ms is back, onetwothreebpHope it goes soon.

Hoping girl 2, how are things going for you now?

 

[kdw1979]

I have my 20 week scan today!

I can't wait to see my little wriggly monkey, I think she has a pair of steel toe cap boots on in there, her kicks are getting very big!!

I am also feeling breathless Lara! I'm a petite lady and they have already told me baby is big, so I presume it's where all my organs are being squashed up. When I lay on my left side at night, I can feel my heart pumping, so I have to move.
