Redhead84, so glad the heartbeat sounded great!! It's such a lovely sound to hear!! :)

afm, I'm so excited and happy - this is a great week to look forward to!! We're signing the papers on our home in a couple of hours, so it'll officially be ours tomorrow! Going to buy paint, get to work on it and move in!! Then on Friday is our ultrasound!! :D Unfortunately OH will probally have to watch our DD while I have it done and will miss it, as we have noone to watch her. I doubt they'll let us bring her in with us as it's being done in hospital.
 
Yay so much happening for you this week juless :yipee: I hope they allow your DD in, it'd be a shame for your OH to miss it. Our DD was allowed in, we just kept her strapped in to her pushchair and gave her something to play with so she was on her best behaviour. Will you be finding out the sex?
 
Yaye Juless! This is your week :)
I'd call ahead and ask just to see what they say. DH shouldn't have to miss it. I'd do like Lolly and just strap DD into her chair and roll her right into the room :)

Redhead - so glad you got to hear the heart beat. I was the same way but it did make me relax and feel like all of this was really, real.

I've been feeling lots of movement lately. He's a squirmy one. Can't wait until DH can feel kicks. 10 days until my next scan :happydance:
 
Thanks guys! I was thinking that. What we'll do is take her in her stroller and ask if we can take her in, otherwise he can wait out in the lobby with her. I think I'll have to pick her up a couple new books at the dollar store to entertain her, something new will grab her attention, lol!

I know blu! Can't wait to feel the kicks on the outside!!
 
Something new or something she shouldn't have (i.e. an iPhone - my DD likes to delete and move my apps around :wacko:) will definitely keep her entertained. Just take her in and if they say she's not allowed, give them the puppy dog eyes :haha:
 
Lolly, great scan pics!

Juless, congrats on the house! :thumbup:

Redhead, glad you heard the heartbeat. I know how reassuring that is :cloud9:
I do believe I felt my first kick over the weekend! and since then, lots of weird fluttering which i can only assume is the LO moving around. feels slightly different than gas. And then there's the fact that i dont burp or fart after feeling this type of movement:haha:
 
Are any of the US or Canadian ladies taking advantage of the Free Ride Event by Britax. I'm so torn over whether or not I want a $500 stroller (but it has a free carseat). DH and I are researching the crap out of the B-Ready and trying to decide if we want it or not. On a positive note Amazon.com has it for $398 AND if you create a baby registry and put in your due date as sometime within the next 30 days they will send you another 10% off completion discount so the stroller is $348 (I think) with your choice of carseat, bassinet, or second seat. Is anyone else considering this stroller or have friends who love it or hate it? I would LOVE opinions right now.
 
I'm way too poor to spend $500 on a stroller. OMG, I'm not even paying that much for my crib. I refuse :)

They've got some nice travel systems that include the stroller and car seats for much less at Babies R Us and Target. I'll probably buy one from there.
 
That's the same issue I'm having. I don't even think we're buying a crib, just a pack and play our apartment is so small. I think I hear the word FREE and nearly lose my mind. LOL.
 
Juless- congrats on your house!! hopefully they will let your DD into the ultrasound with you, we had the same problem at my last appointment, they wouldn't allow kids in the waiting area at the OB office because of germs etc so DH had to wait with them in the lobby, he was not happy! as with my last pregnancy my son was fine to come to all my appointments, the Dr ended up telling me to bring my DH and kids through the back door to the ultrasound room so they could be apart of that, so we were happy for that, my hubby was just upset as he thought they couldn't be apart of the process, apparently alot of women are not vaccinating there children now, so they dont want to risk pregnant women catching illnesses, i thought it was weird as they can get germs from walking around the mall etc where there are hundreds of kids, but oh well they are the rules i guess!! we have no babysitters either as we have no family in Texas.

ive been feeling lots of movement the last couple of days which is nice, anyone else feel a twitch like feeling in your lower tummy when baby moves a certain way? i don't recall getting that with my other 2, just a weird feeling lol

two weeks until we have our next ultrasound, i cant wait and i hope the bub cooperates this time so we can go shopping and buy some clothes etc :)

hope everyone else is doing well!!

so excited for those getting some nice kicks! my LO hasn't started with the regular movement. I just get a few little ones a few times a week. I'm ready to start feeling him every day.
 
has anyone had a kick while yawning? It really hurt i was nearly in tears second times Its happened, my husband has managed to catch a few little kicks but now the big ones are starting he keeps missing them! If i sit down and lean forward baby moves loads... Picked us a few more things for bub blankets ect but my scan is Thursday so i am pinning all hope to finding out what baby is to buy the rest. I also got measured for a new bra as my old one gives me four bbs Ive gone from dd to ee Its no wonder my back is so sore

My linea nigra is back too, along with old stretchies becoming really visible and some returning back to their 'fresh' pink colour :wacko: give me strength!! The things we do hey! Pregnancy is never kind to me :haha:
 
Oooh so exciting, everyone getting kicks!

Good luck for your scans Ichisan and Lolly!!

I had my quad blood test today, along with a retest for my Rhesus as they didn't get enough last time. Much less traumatic experience today - blood came out easily once they found a vein and my arm doesn't hurt nearly as much.

Also got told that if everything stays the way it is then I can have an active/water birth which is my preference. The midwife said that she hopes I can as it'll keep me calmer... not that easy as I'm of a nervous disposition generally.

We also got shown round the labour suite by the midwife which was lovely - the unit where I hope to birth is a specialist in water birth so I'm nice and happy today.

Open mind and all of that but things are going well so far :)

Hope you all have a lovely day :)
 
Well had the scan and everything was fine :happydance: BUT baby was not co-operating at all! Legs kept firmly together :dohh: So we've booked a private scan for thurs as we both really want to know lol. Scan lady was lovely and said if she had to guess it would be girl but was far from certain. Fingers crossed baby is in a better mood on thurs :haha:
