[1sttimemom08]

Thank you, ladies!! I'm EXTREMELY excited for it!! I keep talking to my mom about it and just BEAMING!!!

And here, baby showers are common. But not everyone has them. Here, someone else throws them for you (family or friends.. usually friends, but unfortunately none of my friends have the time for it.. so my sister is doing it for me).. It's just a fun time to play games, open presents, and get TONS of advice (some, not so wanted I'm sure lol)...

And now I'm curious what cribs (cots) look like for you in the UK... lol I know there are some here that are more "classic".. but I fell in love with this, and doubted I'd get it since it's a little pricey.. I'm completely shocked that they're getting it for me!!

My ticker moved! Yay!

 

[Marlarky]

It's funny how 2nd tri is the most stand-still..

Like we look forward to feeling movements,
then when OH feels movements.
Gender scan, (for some, the only scan)
and then VDAY!!!

Now that Im counting down to Vday..... what comes afterward?
Sure, there's count down to 3rd tri. And it's exciting when youre considered 6months.

But what goes on in that last tri?! It's all labor! and hospital bag packing!
Its scary to think that we are almost at the point already, isnt it ladies!?!?

 

[1sttimemom08]

VERY scary! I mean, you hit that 6 month mark at 23 weeks... V day at 24... The only things I have left to look forward to is my 3D 4D scan in early December, and then everything will fly by because next is Christmas, New years, my 21st birthday that I won't really be celebrating, and soon after... DUE DATE! lol everything is flying by sooo fast!! I'm a little nervous now lol

 

[Marlarky]

Yeahh i feel like that too!! Halloween is almost here, then Thanksgiving, Xmas, New Years eve which IS my birthday and thenn BOOM february is going to be here before I know it!! I dont think my husband realizes how fast its coming. Im nesting like I have OCD and im only 5 and something months, and DH isnt doing anything because he thinks we have soooo much longer!!!

 

[rachael872211]

Cots over here look simelar, they just don't look as amazing as that 1! lol.

I've got my milestones as V-day, which was yesterday. Then double digits, when I have under 99 days to go. Then 3rd Trimester. Also I created another one for myself for when the baby should be turned around by to the upside down position which should be by 32 weeks...........I like making ones up. ;-)

I am really thankful I have had so much to do though in this pregnancy with all the family weddings and moving house, then Christmas. Its just making it go so quickly! x

I got my sons birthday and party to sort out and all the xmas stuff to get to keep me busy in the mean time.

 

[lucky3]

my milestones are :
24 weeks = v day
25 weeks = HIP grant (!!)
25 + 6? = down to double digits
26 weeks = 6 months and 4d scan
27 weeks baby weighs c. 2lbs and chances of survival increase significantly (can't remember where i read that!)
28 weeks = 3rd tri, or is that 29???

33 weeks = maternity leave (well christmas hols which then turns into it!!) YAY!!
