Hi! oooo exciting!! And I'm having a girl, and it's going great so far!! Only downside is the sickness STILL in place but that doesn't bother me too much as I know it's for a good reason, what about you?

 

[EmmaCarrie91]

Ive still got morning sickness, thought i was the only one haha ! Its not every morning like it was for the first 18weeks or so, id say im physically sick twice a week but im still queezy every day

I also get really bad stomach pains which ive been told is growing pains but makes me realise how mard im going to be when it comes to labour lol

Where abouts are you from?? How did your family take to the news of you expecting? Are you still with the dad ??

It's horrid Aint it! I get it most but not every mornig when I brush my teeth! The yellow bile stuff is the worst hurts like hell to get that up! And haha I just get the odd sharp pain when I move too quick but no really pains yet.. I'm from nottinghamshire you? And my family are actually really supportive and have been amazing! Yep still with the dad been with him nearly 5 years you? X

 

[EmmaCarrie91]

urgh that yellow bile stuff is horrible, i find i only bring that up if ive not ate for agessss though, i drink alot through the night (due to bad ashma and coughs all the time) so its very rare i bring that up tbh but it tastes horrible too lol !!

And aww its nice to hear about a supportive family, upsets me when i know some parents walks away when their children become pregnant. And 5 years... wow!! lol Been with my partner 18months now - not long i know lol!

My family were really supportive too, was suprised when my dad was happy for us and hes the type whos like 'well what about finances, what about this, what about that'. Its so nice to have people around you aswell Makes it alot easier to cope with!

Any names for your little girl then? Oh im from Manchester btw

xx

 

[laurajade__x]

It is! Sometimes if I'm quick enough I have a drink as soon as I wake up so that's all that comes back up its much easier to deal with haha! Yeah it tastes like paracetomol :s I know I was shocked when my dad was so understanding too. He even came and brought me a bunch of flowers haha! Glad to see your family is supportive too I don't know how I'd cope without a supportive family.

We are calling her Evie -Rose but spelling it Eyvee to be different after my mamar. What about you? Xx

 

[EmmaCarrie91]

Lol never really thought about it but paracetamol actually makes sense

And i like that your spelling it differently, nice and unique, ive got a friend with the same name but she spells it Yvi. Weve chose Aimee-leigh

Does Eyvee kick much ?? Have you noticed her sleep/wake pattern?

x

 

[laurajade__x]

Ahh that's a cool way yvi but I read it as ivy lol! And I know sombody called Amiee Leigh too haha

And yeah she's always kicking about, started feeling flutters around 17 weeks, my partner felt her kick at about 21 weeks and now we can see her move on the outside which I think is brillaint! Didnt think I'd see that until later as I'm overweight! She always kicks from around 6pm onwards then quietens down after a couple of hour then starts again as soon as I'm about to go to sleep the monkey! She also kicks as soon as I wake up and now I've started noticing her throughout the day, what about Aimee? X

 

[EmmaCarrie91]

Wow it sounds like shes very energetic haha and i know what you mean about seeing her kick from the outside, its awesome !!

First felt flutters around 17weeks, felt a kick about 19weeks and my partner felt one around 20weeks, best feeling in the world isnt it?

Aimee kicks 90% of the time when i get in bed which me and my partner love as i tend to hold her and drift into 'lala land' while i can feel her lol and sometimes my partners falls asleep with his head on my stomach, apart from night time it varies but the past week or so she has started kicking for 10minutes or so as soon as i finish my tea - hoping shes telling me shes enjoyed it lol!!

x

 

[laurajade__x]

Yeah very energetic! I love it though and last week I hadn't felt her move all day , my partner comes in lies his head on my belly an she starts kicking as if she's excited he's here!! Talk about daddy's girl already haha, and yeah she always kicks when I've had a cup of tea, hope she likes it cause I've been drinking it like no tomorrow just lately I love it!!

 

[EmmaCarrie91]

Lol i hate tea but im obsessed with coffee but can only have two cups a day so ive swapped it for hot chocolate

Thats really cute that responds to him My partner pokes my stomach dead softly a few times then she starts kicking him lol but shes doesnt when i do it, its really strange.

Have you bought everything you need yet? Ive been trying to get a checklist together but theres so much lol

x

 

[laurajade__x]

Awww it's so cute how they respond to them! I have most things I need a checklist too but can't find one anywhere lol! Please share if you find one x

 

[EmmaCarrie91]

Ive been looking for weeks lol, loads on american sites but none UK ones, its annoying. Ive go a babiesrus catalogue and theirs a good on in there dont know if that helps? But if i find one ill pass it on x

 

[EmmaCarrie91]

Hey chick,
