Babies due in JUNE!

[sadie]

So exciting, huh!?!

We are getting there. I wonder if we sound funny to the experienced moms... not funny, but silly, in a nice, "I remember being like that', kind of way.....

 

[sadie]

i just threw out a bunch of names to OH and he liked some of them. Greta was one of them..... Not necessary on my list, but I wanted to feel him out. (again, looking for an italian name here....) Agnese is another (gn makes the spanish 'n' sound) "ahnezeh".... that was another.

and ccan you imagine one of the veyr popular names atm is Genevra. Not for me.

Any other loser besides me who still watches glee? And I love ricky martin. I think he is hot, as is enrique. Yum. I think i was a spaniard/hispanic in my past life.....

I totally love Glee! And Ricky Martin was "melt-worthy" last night.

 

[Ellie Bellie]

I'm guessing I should catch up on my Glee! I'm still working through season 1 on Netflix and was able to watch a number of them Saturday evening when I sent DH out with his friends.

 

[sadie]

Season one was great. I missed modern family tonight, but will watch it tomorrow. Love that show, too!

Hi chickies.
Imo, a banana is bigger than a papaya, no? I read on babycenter that at 22w baby is about 11 inches long. I wish i felt more movement. . Makes me concerned becaus eof that one artery thing my umbilical cord has.

So, i also read that our metabolism is up about 20% at this point. Good stuff! I am still craving lots of fruits and chocolate milk and a normal amount of carbs (in addition to the morning buttered roll that I have such a hard time saying no to)!

Hey. Did anyone see the commercial for the shake weight? Ellen did a spoof on it on her shoe and when groupon had it on sale, I bought it, like a loser! I have to go downstairs to pick it up. I am sure it doesnt work, but it was my way of saying, 'hey you are so lazy and always on your bum, so try something at least!'. Yeah right. I am sure it will make it out of the box. Once, maybeeeee twice.

The mattress just arrived! Yay! I ordered the crib and mattress on Saturday evening and hadn't expected it to arrive so quickly. The crib itself is scheduled to be delivered on Monday if the tracking is accurate. Also, my friend at work is giving me the bedding that her daughter had. It's not what I would have chosen on my own, but it's beautiful and will go great with the colors already in there. I got the quilt yesterday and she's bringing in the bumpers and bedskirt today. I'll get all new fitted sheets to coordinate. On top of this, the desk that's been in that room since we moved in will be getting picked up by a friend this weekend. So by early next week the nursery may actually start looking like a nursery - hooray!

I cant wait to start my nursery its been ages for me, kids grow so quick!

I should be getting all my stuff in about 2 months time, yipppeeee, the only thing we have is my gorgeous Emmaljunga pram which I used with my girls and the baby carrier, everything else will be new!

Are we all feeling more movement now???

 

[sadie]

Are we all feeling more movement now???

No.

 

[lilmamatoW]

Are we all feeling more movement now???

Pretty much everyday. Recently I've felt some movement towards the top of my bump.

 

[Sunshine12]

I normally feel movement every day but today I havent felt baby at all which of course is worrying me. Wish I could just press a button and have him kick when I need reassurance. Sadie, you have an anterior right? If you do its normal that you might not feel anything (or very much) yet. My midwife said with your first you will start feeling movement around about 21/22 weeks (but with an anterior its later) x

 

[sadie]

Yes, sunny, mine is anterior plus i also have a big fibroid in there, on my left side so there is padding all around. Plus, i cant tell the diff between gas a flutters. I just had flutters butmaybe it was gas. In any case, doppler still says 150+ bpm.... So that is reassuring as is my growing bumper.

 

[lilmamatoW]

Sadie, I had an anterior placenta with #1 didn't feel regular movement until well into the late 2nd trimester. Also, I think the first one takes longer to feel movement because things are "tighter." I find that this time around, everything is pretty loose.

 

[sadie]

Everyone is so quiet! A couple of more weeks until 3rd tri!

Baby has been very wiggly lately!

 

[sadie]

Anyone else find themselves browsing tv and movie credits to find baby names??

 

[StarSign]

I'm naming my baby using same method I used last time which was to write down descriptions of how I felt the baby's personality was invitro. Find names which match. Narrow it down to 2 or 3 which go with the last name and don't make an obscene abbreviation. After baby comes, say the names and see what if any response I get.

DD picked her name by lifting her head after we said it..and boy, does she live up to every bit of it!!

AFM, I'm so happy to have the discharging slow down. It's the slowest since being preggers! I still solidly need 8-9hrs of sleep, but my energy is good. Def enjoying these days. Oh, and little bubba, no sudden movements, but def enjoy lolling about and switching positions. He's having a swimmingly good time but being nice to Momma.

 

[sadie]

Thats very creative, SS and the name has more meaning....

I have a list of 15 names atm. Sme i have hung on to, but others are new ones that I add with the passing wind.

As for sleep, i need at least 8, but rarely get that amount because I am always up, using the bathroom. Perhaps once per wek, i sleep right thru.

Today i looked at travel systems. They only had the uppababy and bugaboo, and I dont want to go with the bugaboo. Tomorrow, i might go to buybuybaby to see their larger selection.

I today, i finally went for a great bikini wax. I can no longer see down there, so my epilator is useless and I cant wax myself anymore. I figured that I need to start now. I havent seen OH since Jan 1 and will see him next on April 6 as we are getting married on the 7th.

 

[Sunshine12]

I havent bothered tending to my foof recently. I look like the wild man of Borneo. OH has been told he is going to have to tend to it shortly as I cant really see it well enough now. I used to get a brazilian but cant bring myself to get waxed when preggers cause it will be sorer. I dont intend on having sex before baby is here (I havent up to now so unlikely to want to between now and then) so Im not really bothered if its out of control. Midwifes will be used to it I reckon so OH will be put in charge of trimmage and that will do me!!

I havent thought any more about names. Its Jack for a boy and Daisy for a girl (although Im now totally convinced its a boy so Jack will likely be it)! x

 

[sadie]

The waxing didnt hurt me anymore than usually! I was surprised, but i also didnt let her take it allllll off.

Atm, i am downloading my julio iglesias cd into my laptop so i can then add it to my ipod (and The Bodyguard soundtrack, too...poor whitney, but what a mess)

FERNE!!!! I see you in the shadows!!!! Whats new??

Afm, i went and bought some maternity swimsuits becaus ei was worried my friend's company ones wouldnt fit well.... Motherhood maternity had some good deals going on. Got some light cottony oants that can be rolled up to capris, and two tee shirts. Allll ready for some floridian sun!

Ellie, u ready?

 

[Sunshine12]

Itunes didnt have that Julio album so I cant download it


I couldnt believe it about Whitney. Im currently watching The Bodyguard on telly. Tragic. Any news on what happened. Last I heard they thought she might have drowned in the bath?
