I'll post more in my journal tomorrow since I have to put dd to bed now. It's been a long day!
 
Congrats garden!!!!! Team blue is awesome!!! I love little boys but very happy for my little girl! ;)

Bubs - FoB knew the day and just ignored it I guess... He surprise stopped by my house a few minutes ago... Told him how scan went and he looked at scans but he said he knew it was a girl bc he read on fb but he said that through text b4 I announced gender! He was basing it off everyone who commented on my pics... Text doesn't show emotion but he seemed unaffected by the news.. But I'm cynical so who knows!
 
bubs- im sorry to hear about the pelvic rest. as others have said your first was just fine so no reason why this shouldnt be. I get what you mean about it not going as it planned. I had a haematoma with my son and I SO didnt want one this time, I was on constant worry. Well this time its happened again except im STILL getting brown so going on longer than when i was pregnant with my son. Its so disheartening because you just want pregnancy to go smoothly. :hugs: I hope you manage to rest up.

Congrats on the latest gender reveals. Looking forward to reading about your party garden.

xx
 
AFM - Still getting brown cm some days - had it the last couple of days late on in the evening. Then its gone the next morning. I have erosion of the cervix too so that can cause spotting so no idea if its the bleed or my cervix. I just want my scan to hurry up now so I can see whats happening with the bleed. I so so SO wish that its shrunk/gone. Feel like iv had a little spurt this week but I have days where i dont think i look pregnant at all and then days where its pretty obvious xx
 
Garden I know I replied on FB too, but yay for team blue.

Bubsmum I'm sorry to hear about the bed rest hun, that is seriously rubbish. But, if it means a lovely healthy baby at the end of it, then I guess its a sacrifice worth bearing. You'll have to stock up on movies and tv shows and a good set of books to help pass the time and try to make it less boring.

Angel sorry FOB and his 'friend' are being arses :( Yay for your little girlie though hun. I think we are still ahead by 1 boy on this thread (now Garden knows the sex) so nice to have another girlie to even up the numbers.

Babymonkey my bump is a bit up and down depending on how much bloat is going on, but it is finally starting to look like a baby bump (in tighter clothes as least). Loose clothes just make me look fat!

Lovehearts I'm sure everything is fine, but it must be annoying for you. How long until the scan hun?

Hello to everyone who posts after me xx
 
scan is still 12 days away!! boo hurry up scan!!!

There must be lots of '20 week scans' coming up soon, when is everyone elses?

xx
 
Thanks ladies! We are ecstatic!! My journal is updated with photos from the party too, it was so much fun!
 
2wks till my 20wk scan, 26th June can't wait! Loving these little milestones.
 
Lovehearts, no 20 wk scan planned yet!

I do have an appt today so maybe they'll talk to me about scheduling one?
 
My 20 scan is 21st June :)

How is everyone?

I said cograts gardens on fb but congrats again!! Lots of buys due :)
 
Good Morning Everyone- I am home again.
Garden- congrats on your little man I love the cake and the fact that you have enough will power to have waited til the cake cut to find out. Not me Nope could not have done it.
Angel- Men suck at times sorry yours is being dumb. Congrats on your princess though.
Lovehearts- sorry for the off and on bleed and maybe it is shrinking
Bubs-sorry on the no sex for a while. I don't have the cervix issue and I am upset that I only get to have sex when I get tired of waiting and complain to DH that he must not find me sexy any longer. Since we knew I was pregnant we have only had sex 3 times!!
AFM- we made it back at 3am my time so we were gone around 48 hours exactly. My family surprised the heck out of us with how nice they were and so supportive. My mom bought us a pack and play and some toys. Also, a cushion for a baby tub or you can suction it to the big tub and not need the baby tub, that is what we plan to do. We saw some friends we went to Culinary school with. One just graduated last Saturday so he is an official Chef. Our other friend had her son, 5 months old, with her. He is a little ham and was so much fun. Then we drove 4 hours to my sisters house Tuesday afternoon. She and her husband gave us the 4-in-1 crib and an additional Toddler bed frame so when ( my sister and Bro-in-law said this when not if :p) we have another one we will have the extra bed! They also gave us a bouncy seat that vibrates, Her friend gave me two big bags of girl clothes 0-3 months for the fall/winter. A potty chair as they just finished potty training with their youngest. Won't need it for years, but we have it now. And My sister said they plan to save all of my youngest niece's clothes so when Zaya gets bigger we have a wardrobe. Oh, and my sister bought me a Diaper/tote bag from Vera Bradley? It is so nice and has loads of pockets so I can double the use as a purse for me and we can use it later as a travel bag or what ever. So all in all a neat trip. My grandmother whom is residing in Canada called when I was at my parents and spoke to me. She wants to send money to my mom and have mom buy us a new stroller/ travel system. So, we shall see on that. i won't hold my breathe, but I know my mom and dad want to make sure that by 30 weeks I at least have a car seat. Mom and Dad will be coming up when I have Zaya which is great because though I am not super close with my mom when I am in need or scared she is there and this will be an experience LOL. My dad held my belly and said goodnight to Zaya Monday night and he is so cute about everything going on :).
My biggest complaint of the trip is that yesterday/last night while we were driving the 6.5 hours from my sister's to our place my left leg swelled up so badly that I could hardly walk when we got home! I elevated it when I went to bed and it is okay today. But, freaky looking last night. I couldn't move my toes as my leg and foot were so puffy. I hope that this doesn't continue that was a bit scary.
Okay, enough of my trip. Glad to see everyone is doing good. I have another scan in 13 days! It is the one with the Pediatric Cardiologist, but hey it is another scan right? :)
 
so any suggestions on helping with the swelling? I have my feet elevated and all, but DH brother and I just went and unloaded most of the truck, I promised DH I would not unload the mattress, crib parts, and toddler bed frames until he gets home from work so he and his brother will do it. But, not my feet hurt and my left ankle is swollen again. My ties are all tingly too
 
Miss_Kseniya - Luckily it's only partial rest. I can still go to work since I just sit at my deks all day. I get a little bit crampy if I spend too much time on my feet, which it's hard not too to do with a 3 year old at home and a house to tend to... But yes, I do need to make an effort to lounge more. :)

Peanut - Oh my goodness, I LOVE the Vera Bradley bags! I have one on my wish list on Amazon! I have one of their tote bags for trips and stuff, and it is like, 5 years old and still looks new! The zippers hold up really well even though I am a notorious over-packer!
As far as the swelling, I have no suggestions, other than lay on your left side to help your kidneys filter well, drink lots of water, and elevate, of course. Sitting for so long in the car probably attributed to the swelling and you are probably still retaining from that. Hopefully it gets better. My left foot swells and makes my toes fall asleep. Not fun...
Oh, massage helps! When DH gets home have him give your legs a rub down! :)
 
OK mommies, I need some insight here.

Last night, my son and DH and I were all snuggling in bed, and DH and I were joking around about the placenta previa and how our babies think it's really funny to give me a hard time while they are in utero. So I told my son, "Danny, tell baby brother to be nice to mommy!" Usually he is really cute and talks really close to my belly and says hi to baby brother, he kisses it and makes jokes about poking the baby's butt (boys...) etc. THIS time, he PUNCHED my stomach! Now, it didn't really hurt, but it certainly surprised me.
DH got really mad and Danny got in trouble (which then broke my heart to see him with his sad face :( ) Should I take this as a one-off, or should I be concerned that he is feeling reallllly insecure about new baby? If so, any suggestions??? I don't want him to be insecure. :( I feel like I said something wrong about telling him to tell baby to be nice to me... I thought he would just do what he always does. He has never acted violent like that. I'm SURE he thought he was just playing, but he needs to know that is not acceptable play...

I think he was probably just reacting to the statement ""Danny, tell baby brother to be nice to mommy!" He probably thought it was funny and didn;t know his own strength. I bet he was shocked when he got into trouble.
it might be worth chatting about it to him and take the time to exolain that you were having a joke and that whilst you are sure he didn;t mean to hurt because he is usually a very kind and lovely little boy, that it did hurt and that punching is not something that you should do. Reinforce that you know he is going to make a very special and wonderful big brother.
