Thanks Mrs. Eddie I appreciate that! She's better for now.. we are still trying to figure out which way to go as far as meds and whatnot. The decision has been tough and I don't think pregnancy has helped at all! Also exciting that your DH is back tonight! Mine was suppose to be leaving soon for a week but the plans changed and now he's not going. While I feel bad for him I am happy he's not leaving

 

[Mrs. Eddie]

Morebabies, I can't imagine having to make those types of decision for your DD. The problem with Crohns is that often the types of meds that can be most effective can have really frightening/dangerous side effects. I know that you'll figure out something soon that will work well for her.

And, yes I'm so happy that my DH is back, I missed him so much!!! I'm glad that your DH is sticking around, I can't imagien being pregnant and having to look after two kids as well by myself!

We head out tomorrow to visit family for Easter so I won't be on here at all for the next few days. Have a great weekend everyone!

I had some good news today and I just have to share it We have only told 3 close family members about the pregnancy so far, so I've quickly run out of people to tell.

I'm 10 wks + 3 days. I had some brown spotting today, which got me very worried. I had a mc last summer, so my thoughts always go there, of course. I have an ultrasound machine at work, so i took a quick peek while nobody was looking. And the baby is MOVING in there!! He was waving his arms and bouncing off the walls like "mom! Everything is ok! the water's fine!" I guess I didn't know it would already be moving, I can hardly believe it. So full of happiness right now.

 

[more babies]

Aww that's great buttercup! Nice that you are able to take a quick peek on your own like that!

Have a great weekend visiting family Mrs. Eddie!

Hello ladies! How are we all? Hope everyone had a lovely easter. I've been stuffing my face with chocolate - yum!! What's new with everyone?

 

[Toms Mummy]

Hi, I'm well thanks! I too have been stuffing my face with chocolate that I'm not sure whether the new podge I have suddely aquired is due to that or baby! :/

 

[Buttercup2]

I'm not sure whether the new podge I have suddely aquired is due to that or baby! :/

You're pregnant! That means you can say it's due to baby every time that's what I'm telling myself, anyway.
I'm jealous you ladies can eat sweets. My bean apparently doesn't like sweets right now!

 

[more babies]

We had a great weekend with amazing weather so a lot of time was spent outside enjoying it! No candy for me. I haven't wanted anything to do with candy this pregnancy. My new thing that I've been wanting daily are chocolate milkshakes.. extra thick Otherwise, nothing too exciting. Have been feeling constant movement every day which is getting stronger by the day. On Monday we will go for another ultrasound and this time along with the cervix check they're going to do all the measurements so I'm looking forward to that! DH is coming with me since he had to miss the last big one because DD was sick. I can honestly say ultrasounds never get old!

Hope everyone else had a great weekend and is doing good!!

 

[Toms Mummy]

Haha! Thanks Buttercup

Ooh, it'd be nice to see people's scan pics and bumps? I'm at work so can't upload anything but will do once I'm home tomorrow

 

[annio84]

I'll try to post something tomorrow, too tired now. As to your other comment I too seem to be getting bigger, in fact one of my colleagues said when she saw me yesterday 'you've gotten bigger overnight!' I think i'm going to get a complex!! To make matters worse she and I were assessing a patient today and he was poorly so I was trying to get some meds from our bag which was on the floor and I realised I was stuck! So there's this poor patient really sick and my colleagues have to drop what they're doing and pick me up! Oh dear.

More babies, I'm so loving chocolate milk right now! Good luck for your ultrasound - it's so exciting getting to see your baby!

Buttercup, I don't know what I'd do without being able to eat sweets!

I only have a "bump" picture from 20 weeks since I've been bumpless the entire time. I'll post it below but I feel like a few days after I took it I did pop slightly. I'm going to take another picture this Friday when I'm 22 weeks because I think there's definitely something there now.. not much but something!

 

[Toms Mummy]

I was like that with my 1st pregancy morebabies... I was so so desperate for a bump and then all of a sudden, from about 22 weeks it just appeared out of knowhere!

I'm hoping because this is my 2nd that I show a bit sooner, and I already seem to be getting a bit of a podge to lets hope so

 

[Noo]

Aww MoreBabies your bump is cute!

 

[more babies]

Yeah I thought because this was my 3rd and I was out of shape to begin with this time that I'd show sooner but it didn't happen. I have been very anxious for a bump though I think because it took so long to get pregnant this time around. However, I've managed to escape stretch marks on my stomach through two pregnancies so the more I think about it staying smaller won't be so bad! When I lay on my back I have quite the bump now though!

Thanks Noo!

 

[Noo]

Not sure if I posted this on this thread already but can't find it - I know I posted somewhere! This is my tummy at 14/40. Ack! It changes so much though. Some days it looks less big. Other days I almost knock people out!

 

[more babies]

Great pic Noo!

Some days I feel like I'm bigger then others also.. I guess im just bloated those days

Yup, I feel much smaller today than there though I do seem to have lost 3kg in the last 10 days. Feel no where near as bloated and can't feel baby move as much but still got a strong heartbeat on doppler. Think s/hes just moved more towards my back.

Cute bumps So here's my 11 week bump, taken this morning

Hey Ladies!

Loving all the beautiful bump pics on here. I will have to post one soon; I have been taking weekly ones since Week 12 and I can definitely say that I popped at around 15 weeks.

Buttercup, amazing that you got to see your little one, it is honestly the most amazing expereince ever!

We had our 20 week appointment with my midwife on Monday. Got all the results back from past blood work and all looks good with baby (negative for Downs and Spina Bifida). Baby's heartbeat was 150 bpm!

Yesterday was very exciting as we had our 20 week scan. The tech was actually teaching a student so we got a really detailed look at baby and got to hear what was happening the whole time, (which was nice). I will have to post a new pic either later this week or early next. Everything looked perfect with Baby E and we also got to find out the gender.

I am very excited to announce that we are... My DH thought girl for the past two months and I had originally thought girl but had been getting more of a boy vibe recently. I am also super excited to tell my family and close friends at the end of this month. For my friends I am going to take the most recent pic that I have of baby and put a pink bow on it and give it to them individually. For my family, my brother's girlfriend is going to make me a birthday cake that is pink inside. I can't wait to let everyone know and to welcome little Isla in August.

Yesterday was a very busy day! We also did our hospital pre-registration, made a trip to Ikea, and registered baby for daycare (they already are booking into July 2014 ) We loved the place though, so one less thing to worry about.

Hope everyone else is well!
