Happy belated bday Baby! Yesterday was my niece's bday as well (she turned 10)

Great to hear your almost off work Claire.. my work unfortunately has been ramping up so the last couple days has been pretty tiring for me and there's really no end in sight (besides being put on bedrest or giving birth lol)

trixie yay 28 weeks! very exciting! and no I have a horrible memory, I spend a long time responding when I do and go back and forth through previous comments and still miss stuff!! =) I haven't tried reflexology though.. just massage, chiropractor and acupuncture ..

stranje-not sure what happens on a growth scan, but I think I get one on Monday

dreamer - yay for the nursery!

that's great that so many of you are into the double digits.. I'm just about there myself. We started newborn care classes this week, Tuesday and then we go again tonight. Pretty basic since I've been around my nieces but DH got to practice diapering and changing a babies clothes (I have to admit it's kind of funny watching someone doing these things for the first time lol).

This week has been pretty busy and it doesn't really slow down. Saturday is my nieces bday party and then we start childbirth prep classes on Sunday (four weeks long). Monday is a growth scan and dr apptmt which I'm taking my mom to, so that should be fun (plus it's my bday - yay for Scorpios baby!!). And then Thursday (a week from today) we go in for our 3D scan which I'm excited for as well. Friday we have friends over for game night and Saturday is the symphony. And sometime between now and next Friday we have to clean the basement because we emptied out our storage room into our game room to go through stuff. So its now all in the way and has to be gone through and cleaned up before then. Of course it turns out most of it is DH's stuff - he's got boxes and boxes of papers and crud that he needs to go through. The only saving grace at this point is that I have next Monday, Thursday and Friday off of work!! This is about when the year gets crazy when I'm not pregnant though, it all goes downhill after Halloween (bday, thanksgiving, christmas, new years). Speaking of Halloween does anyone need any chocolate candy? We had half as many kids show up at our house as usual this year and now I have tons of chocolate left over.. ugh... I don't need to be eating it all!!! But the ones with caramel in them keep calling to me... =)

wow.. ok so that was long. So in case you guys don't hear from me for a week you'll know why lol - I'm either super busy or asleep!! =)

Blimmey, you're a very busy lady! Try and take it easy...if possible x

Got my bday present a day early, so excited I had to share. When I first found out we were having twins I told DH that it was neat that I had 3 hearts beating inside of me. How sweet is it that he remembered? He had this necklace semi-custom made. It may be hard to tell from the picture but the gemstones are cut in the shapes of hearts. The yellow one is a Citrine which is my birthstone. The other two are pink for my two little girls.

[lilrojo]

Yay baby im team yellow 2

 

[_dreamer_]

yey baby thats great! take it everything was good? found the 20 week scan amazing to see everything, cant believe that was 7 weeks ago now for me! x

 

[baby2310]

hey lilrojo!
was soooooo tempted to find out!
we managed to contain it tho and didn't ask, will be a lovely surprise when baby arrives

 

[baby2310]

hi dreamer, yes all well thanks, everything looked normal and baby is average size.
cant believe you're nearly 28 weeks and lilrojo is nearly 24 weeks, time is flying!!!

 

[lilrojo]

Oh I know.. time is flying so fast.. seems like yesterday i just joined... anyone heard from any of the other ladies that started the cbfm thread.. no body new has joined us for awhile.. hope they are all well..

Baby I wavered for a moment too.. I found out with my dd who is now 2 but after my 2 losses i wanted this one to be a surprise.. any gut instincts.. ??

 

[trixie79]

lil, i havent been on the cbfm thread as the oldis have left and started a new thread, and the newbies gave out alot abt us oldies not replying to them, so havent read any posts in months...

baby congrats on getting your 20 week scan...good on you for have good will power....im glad i know its a boy now as i can get organised, but sometimes wish for the surprise!!!!

 

[Tobaira]

glad your scan went well baby!

I was wondering why when i stop into the old thread I don't recognize any names.. that would explain it. I never wanted to say too much in there because I didn't want to make anyone who was still ttc feel bad.

 

[Claire1]

Well done baby, im team yellow as well. Glad all went well. I have to be honest ive not looked at the other page in ages, like others have said I dont recognise any of the names either. Wishing them well though.

I had a growth scan on monday and baby is measuring a bit small. They arent massivley concerned but I have to go for more tests next week to make sure the cord and placenta are working properly. Im hoping its just as small baby?

I think ive been paranoid since then though and went in today with reduced fetal movement. I hadnt felt baby move since about 10pm last night untill 2pm today. I was hooked up to monitor for an hour and all seemed well, heart beat and movment detected. I have an anterior placenta and think the baby was lying in a funny position so couldnt feel it. They were really good and made me feel reasured. So pleased I can relax now. Still have to go in next monday though for more tests and scans to see why baby a bit small

 

[baby2310]

Thanks lilrojo, trixie, tobaira and claire, hoping keeping it a surprise will help get me through labour
My gut instinct keeps changing lol. Originally thought girl before any scan, then boy when we had first scan and felt first movement and little kicks.
Then when i felt 2 little kicks from the outside i instantly thought girl.
20 week scan and im back to boy again! My instincts obviously don't seem to count for anything at moment lol.
My dad is convinced its a girl but i think that is more wishful thinking as he has 2 grandsons and is ready for a grandaughter now.
I'm sure next 20weeks will fly then all will be revealed
Hope you're ok Claire after your scare, try not to worry, im sure you just have a petite little one and nothing to worry about. Could have a growth spurt in the next couple of months you never know.
Hope everyone else is well.
I've been lurking on the old thread a bit but like Tobaira felt a bit bad adding a post as didn't want anyone to feel bad.
Have my fingers crossed that some of the original ladies will join this thread soon!

 

[Claire1]

Thanks baby, im sure I will have a growth spurt and i'll end up with a lovely plump baby

Like you, I dont really have an instinct...I keep swaying from boy, girl, boy, girl. At the moment i'm on boy ha ha

Stay well xx
