ece- don't worry about not feeling movement. I didn't feel steady movement until 19 weeks and I don't have an anterior placenta. Definitely normal! Congrats on the girl any names?

I ordered Bryn's easter outfit I've been waiting for this dress to go on clearance for ages and it finally has. I got it for $10 (originally $40). I also ordered the cardigan, but I couldn't get it in the right size. I still love it, so figured I'd get it regardless as it was also marked down. I have a cardigan in the same color that will work just fine. I love the little bows on the tights! They didn't have the shoes in the size I needed, but that's fine. i may check out the store to see if they have them there. Easter is my favorite holiday so I'm super excited

The girls are defo taking over, when I was pregnant with Daniel everyone was having boys, now everyone I speak to is having girls. Lol guess I have another 18 weeks to find out but I'm still thinking boy! Everyone else has said girl haha.

It's awful not feeling as much movements but yeah it is everyday xx

Hi Girls,

How is everyone doing?

I have days where I am full of beans and days where I am so tired, I cannot think straight. Also days where I cry over everything & anything! Anyone else feel like that?

At the moment, I am learning to drive - have had 3 lessons so far & have another today at 12:15. It does make me a little nervous learning to drive now, whilst pregnant BUT my Obstetrician gave me the go ahead, as well as my GP & I am learning in a proper instructors dual control automatic car.

We have cleared out the nursery, chosen & bought the paint colours, ordered the Tree Decal for the wall etc. So now all we need to do is actually start painting. The furniture can be picked up by end of January so it's all good

Bought a few baby clothes online yesterday BUT am not allowed to purchase any more just yet. I have my Baby Shower on Jan 19th so cannot buy anything else till after. My Sis in law is running it at my Dad & Step Mum's house & I ordered the invites from Vistaprint so they are personalised with my details I will be sending them out next week to people

Ok...well best get back to the housework.

Hope everyone is doing well {hugs}

xx

I feel like my bump has arrived, I might have to break out the maternity stash! 9 sleeps til we find out what we're having (doing the Dream countdown)!

 

[Left wonderin]

[Helena_]

[c.m.c]

O lune that's exciting!! I'm guessing girl!!M


As for me I got 96/120 in my exam!! It timed out before I could finish but I'm delighted!! I'm taking time out of the course and re joining jan 2015 so I can relax now!!! Woooo hooooo,

Dream your baby shower sounds brilliant!! I can't believe you're being so good not buying loads

Anyone waiting for the jan sales???? I'm going to go crazy shopping

 

[twinmummy06]

Lune I'm guessing boy. No reason

 

[xxDreamxx]

How is everyone going? I want a check in from everyone!!

All is good here - been having some very hot days 40ºc (104ºF) kinda hot! We bought a blow up pool, one of those that comes with a pump. I don't care if it only lasts through this summer - I just need some relief & bath's in Australia are about 5ft long so child size (so aint no way I am getting in..... and more importantly out of one of those) so pool it is

I am 27 weeks tomorrow. I had my Glucose Tolerance Test on Saturday and found the drink quite nice actually....the 2 hours went by quite fast. I have another Ob Physician appointment tomorrow about my Blood Pressure and then a regular Ob appointment on 2nd Jan.

Is everyone set for Christmas? I have a gift voucher left to buy and a few parcels to pick up from post office but besides that, everything else is bought and wrapped

Ok...well..... lets here how everyone is

 

[twinmummy06]

Going ok here. Nothing exciting to report.

Hot here as usual - same temp as you Susan!

All Chrissy presents are done and wrapped. Just waiting for the big day. Then after that it will be buying all the school stuff/uniforms ready for the end of January restart 6 weeks exactly to go. Not counting at all

Doctors appt on Thursday - other half is on day shift so I get to bring all 3 kiddos with me. Will be fun (read: a nightmare).
Then growth scan on the 31st.


Hope the GTT comes back good dream

Hey girls . Well all is good here In Ireland except the weather which is clod , wet and windy the last couple of days . I'm mostly done for Christmas now but still have to wrap everything. !! I job I don't like lol...

On baby front was at Doc last week , all looking normal bp and urine tests . Next appointment just after Christmas in the hospital on the 6th of January ill be 34 weeks ! Starting to feel really uncomfortable if I sit in he one spot for too long . The movments I'm feeling have also changed more to rolls and pokes as poor baby runs out of room to squirm !

hi!

I had my glucose test this past friday. It wasn't so bad, but I've been having a hard time eating since then. Not sure if it's a coincidence, but it gave me some horrible diarrhea the day of. Otherwise, the taste was too horrible. I guess I'll get my results at my next appointment (dec 26th). Wednesday is 27 weeks which means THIRD TRI!!!! We'll be doing a private ultrasound next month (jan 16th) for our first wedding anniversary. I can't believe we've been married for a year. It's been a crazy year. Starting with finding out I was pregnant with our angel on the day we got married and now we'll be seeing our rainbow on that same day a year later.

Not sure if I told you girls, but DH will likely (hopefully!!!!) be able to stay on land (as opposed to going with the ship for a few weeks) around my due date. He was scheduled to leave a little before my dd, so I've been a mess over figuring that out. Even better news, his chief is putting him on shore duty for their deployment this summer. So he'll be home instead of gone! I feel like I just won 4-7 months more with my husband. So so so happy that he'll be here for his daughters first year His chief just had a baby and said that he wishes he was able to stay behind to be with his daughter, so he wants to be able to do this for him and truly believes he's up for the job he's being assigned.

I won't be able to do a Christmas eve bump photo because I won't be home, but will make sure to do one when i get home! I'll be 28 weeks on christmas! Ah!!!

just found out that I failed the 1 hour glucose test, so I'll be taking the 3 hour test on saturday. Nervous :/

They didn't even offer me the one hour one ! I went straight to the three hour one. I'm sure all is ok and worst comes to worse no chocolate for you at Christmas time GD is very manageable once detected , but think positively your gonna nail that test

 

[lune_miel]

lw- lovely xmas fireplace. Need to paint our living room so I am unable to decorate this year

I don't know if I will get glucose test, but I will refuse it. The drink sounds horrible and an unrealistic situation you would never try to do- so how are they accurate?? There are alternatives, like fasting the night before.
Helena- I hope you can pass your next one!

I spent the last few days in sunny California, back to reality now in cold, snowy Minnesota

3 more sleeps til gender scan!

 

[xxDreamxx]

Lune - I did a 2 hour test and had to fast from midnight night before. I still had to drink 75g of glucose drink. I actually liked the drink

 

[twinmummy06]

I would much rather just drink the drink and feel a bit off for a while, than have a pregnancy with undiagnosed gestational diabetes.

I know if you don't want the drink some places can offer that you monitor your blood sugar levels for a week as an alternative.

It's just about how your body metabolises the sugar and also your fasting overnight blood sugars is important too (has nothing to do with the drink).

 

[Left wonderin]

I had to fast but then got to drink lucosade which I like
