GL Powell post pics when you can!

Aww she looks so sweet sass! Looks very comfy in there that's probably why she didn't want to move!

 

[Hann12]

Sass she is beautiful, I found my 4D scan to be really accurate to what my DD came out looking like. We aren't having one this time because we didn't want to know what the baby looks like, plus some babies look like a girl or boy in the scan and we really want the surprise.

Feeling huge today - had papa johns last night, some cake at lunch time then DH bought me a huge piece of chocolate gateaux which was very sweet but it was huge and if I had realised I wouldn't have had the cake at lunch time. Nothing I can do about it now but I'm going to try from tomorrow to be more healthy! In keeping with that we are off to buy me a bike tomorrow! We have bought a device that basically makes a normal bike into an exercise bike so I can exercise from the house then when I'm wanting to I can also be mobile (after pregnancy!). I'm going to aim to do it 3 times a week as I get little to no exercise at the moment because DD is so demanding and if we go out she wants to walk so we get no where as she can't walk far. It's so different to when I was pregnant with her and did loads of walking. Anyway hoping it will make me feel more healthy!

 

[Sass827]

Thanks girls! Dh was just talking about us getting bikes too.
No worries on the cake. I piggy out on cake all the time. I think thats why lo is such a little pudge. I hope we have a chubby little baby. Dh was a butterball so im hoping for the same.

Well little Phillip decided he wanted to keep his face buried in my placenta and not show his face :/ even after moving all kinda ways on the table, shaking my belly, walking around && drinking water lol he was moving all around, but just wouldn't move his face. We were able to see just a portion of his little face - his nose, lips and cheek. And what we saw was adorable we're going back for a re-scan Tuesday night and hope he'll be up for pictures.

Hubs has been sanding floors in the baby's room today We're hoping he'll have it finished this weekend since it's his long weekend (every other weekend he's off saturday-monday) lol we went to Walmart earlier to get stuff for sanding the floors and a few groceries...ended up spending almost $500 on a flat screen tv, a storage ottoman type thing for the living room, stuff for my hospital bag, stuff for the floors && some groceries lol why is it impossible to go to Walmart and only leave with what you went for?! lol

 

[Sass827]

I'm sorry Powell. D was the same. We got the pics while I lied on my side. I hope Tuesday goes better for you!

 

[Jary]

Hehe your baby is misbehaving already Powell! It's like ours when we had our 12 week scan and didn't want to turn for the sonographer...just waved hands about a bit.

I know what you mean about buying more than you intended....when you mention Walmart I think of the South Park episode where a Walmart comes to town lol.

AFM baby decided to have a lazy time from Friday evening till Saturday morning. Of course had me worried....felt the odd nudge here and there but nothing exciting. Eventually he or she was back to business as usual. Last night no matter which side I lay on I was getting tickled in the ribs! I also cannot tell now where he or she is lying so I listened to my Doppler and found hb low down so I hope that means baby is head down.

 

[MissMummyMoo]

Awww Sass she is beautiful we have our 4D scan on Friday I also have another scan tomorrow for my OC.

It must be an american thing the 1 hour GTT. We just have a 2 hour one here and that's it. I passed mine although I still continue to have sugar in all my urine samples!

Hann I'm trying to keep more healthy too, I'm constanty cravings sweet things!

Powell fingers crossed you can get better pics on Tuesday night the little monkey

We're the same with ASDA (your Walmart) we went for milk and veg the other day and came out £50 lighter

These babies are sent to try us Jary glad baby decided to start wiggling about again.

I was really uncomfortable the other night with baby digging his shoulder in my pelvis ... ouch

Hope everyone's had a lovely weekend x

 

[Hann12]

Jary - weird coincidence but I wasn't getting many wiggles yesterday either until the evening. I used my Doppler and its broken! I've barely used it too so that's really annoying! Anyway I started getting bigger wiggles by the evening so felt more reassured, perhaps they are growing?!

Powell - annoying about the photos, I hope you can go back and he's in a better position

It's funny you all mentioning positions of the baby because I keep being told mine is head down but all my movements are in the lower half if my stomach. I'm not convinced!!

And I got my bike! Haven't used it yet but hopefully will give it a try later!

 

[Jary]

I've heard babies have quiet moments when they have a growth spurt do maybe that's what was happening! My belly does seem to be growing lol

Sucks about the Doppler! I tried resisting it after the midwives said dont use it, but I couldn't resist!

 

[Powell130]

Mine hasn't really been very active today, after being active ALL day yesterday. Mayb we're all going thru growth spurts!?

Went to Walmart, AGAIN today lol I'm addicted. Got some plastic storage drawers, that happen to match our color scheme, so I can go ahead and start washing clothes and putting them up I couldn't be more excited, cept the price of the Deft, I had no idea it was as expensive as it is! lol oh well, what's best for baby is all that matters. What laundry detergent do you ladies use?

 

[Hann12]

Sounds like a fun day Powell! Its funny how we have all had 'quiet' days lately. Its a bit worrying I have to say. I also feel like this baby is really high, when I feel it I can feel much of its body up by my ribs, its very uncomfortable and makes me feel huge.

Washing powder - persil non bio (or any non bio) and we use the same for all of us.

Got my bike today and did a 25 minute gentle cycle. It was great but my bum hurt all the way through lol. I think I need a gel padded seat!

 

[Powell130]

Since I've started doing baby laundry today, he woke up lol it's like he knows we're getting ready for him

 

[Sass827]

I had a quiet baby day yesterday. It's very unsettling. I talk to her and poke her to get her to kick me back.
I'm thinking were going to use all free and clear. Should work well for LO and us so I don't have to do separate loads for everyone.

 

[Jary]

Mine was active all through my nightshift!

Had an awful time coming home....there had been a major pile up on the motorway I use to get to and from work and they closed it. I had no idea how to get back home and my day nav wasn't in the car so I rang OH to help guide me home. Got so stressed out! Took me two hours to get home when it normally takes 40 mins

 

[Powell130]

oh no Jary! That sounds awful!! At least you got home safe!!

Nursery is almost done, will be posting pics in a little

 

[Jary]

Apparently it was a 9 car pile up and a 16 year old girl was killed.

Ooh can't wait to see pics!

I got to see OH before I left for work and when he gave me a hug he felt wriggles trying to join in! Cheered him up a bit since his work has been awful

Woot midwife tomorrow! Can't wait to see how baby is measuring up!

 

[Hann12]

Hope the midwife appointment goes well!

 

[Jary]

Happy 29 weeks!! Apparently baby pees half a litre into the amniotic fluid per day now...eww! Lmao

Baby kept disturbing me on my break last night at work...getting practice in for when he or she arrives!

 

[Hann12]

Really? That's funny! Where does it go? I assume its re absorbed into the amniotic fluid?
