February Lovebugs of 2016!! 16 pink, 15 blue, 7 yellow

[Quantea]

Lol, wow LeahLou, that's an impressive bump!

I've still got nothing to show and it's even hard to convince people I'm pregnant, heh, but I don't wanna wear any of my tight jeans so I'm stuck with skirts and cotton pants at the moment. I've mostly had trouble with bras, as my girls are fairly bursting out of even my largest cups and my previously modest blouses are starting to look like something out of a Playboy photoshoot. I had to go to a wedding last week and my modest summer dress suddenly looked like something a starlet would appear in. I was so embarassed!!!!

On a happy side note, my OB wanted to check some of my screening tests before the 12-week ultrasound in August 10, so he called us to his office today and did a quick U/S since we were there... Little bub was jumping and rolling and making a fuss in there! I was amazed at how active the little bug was! He/she was literally jumping around and rolling all over! Naturally, I had to call everyone in the family who knows and laughingly describe this and they were all thrilled. My dad claims it's gonna be a boy and a soccer player, my mom teasingly claims he/she will be a can't-stand-still mischievous child (like my dad), while my MIL was simply exclaiming happily and kept asking for more details and then called back again to hear about it some more... All in all, it was a very happy day for everyone involved, which was a pleasant surprise compared to my anxiety about the various tests we've been doing lately.

BOOM hello 10 weeks!

Cute! Mine still just looks like fat, doesn't look like baby bump yet.

Same here . I've got a lot of flab on my tummy from losing a bunch of weight last year, so who knows when I'll "look" pregnant. I didn't look pregnant with my daughter until I was due. I was larger back then though. Hoping that's not the case this time!

Aww cute! Congrats

I'm starting to look pregnant now... Definitely no hiding it for much longer lol

 

[rebeccalouise]

I'm massive, but I just feel fat so it's depressing me surely it can't be bump already?

 

[Nola0841]

How is everyone doing? Had a rough couple of days. Hopefully we will all be feeling better in a few weeks.

Much the same, just getting over my first ever migraine

I seem to have a couple of good days and then bam.

Anyone else feeling like this icky feeling is never going to end?

This was bumpy yesterday. Starting to harden up now

 

[BrittRashel]

Is anybody else not needing new pants yet? I am overweight but my shorts still fit, they are a little tight when I sit down but I can still zip them up and they fit good when I stand. It just makes me worried what if baby isn't growing? I haven't had alot of symptoms so its hard. I had nausea but thats gone. My boobs still hurt a little and feel full but thats it. Anybody else?

Is this your first baby? I didn't show at all until 20 weeks with my first. I was still in my normal jeans until about 18 weeks and even then I could just loop a hairtie through the button hole to keep my pants up. Since this is my second, I'm showing way sooner. I have been able to button my pants since 11 weeks and this morning I finally gave up on my jeans. I can still get them up but they just aren't as comfortable as they use to be and I much prefer my maxi skirts.

I'm really sorry to the ladies who aren't finding much support/excitement with their family and friends. I don't know what I would do if DH wasn't excited yet. It would make me really sad. He's starting to get really excited now that I'm getting a belly. I'm very relieved as my ex was not attracted to me at all when I was pregnant.

I have a question for the Mommas on their last baby. When did you know that this one would be your last? I was positive this was the last one but then DH mentioned something about maybe wanting another. Not even a for sure, yes I want another baby after this. Just a maybe. That was all it took. I keep picturing having #3 after this and thinking about what it would be like. I'm at the point that I'm kind of wanting another one now but I'm not sure. It would have to be really quickly after this one, like within a year start trying so that would be difficult but 3 kids sounds kind of nice though. So, question is how and when did you know that you were for sure done?

I'm certain this one (number #2) will be our last. My mum keeps saying I cant possibly decide that yet (she had 3 kids but always wanted 5 or 6!) but I just know. I've always envisioned myself with 2 children and it just feels right for us as a family to have 2 kids. Ive felt so rotten this first trimester but I keep telling myself to make the most of it as it will be the last time I'm pregnant!

This will be my last and I was certain on that before we fell pregnant, I've always wanted 2, I don't know why. For me 2 just feels like the right amount but I can't put my finger on why I feel that way

I'm on number 5 and honestly, I'm not 100% sure this is my last. The donor says this is the last one and that he won't donate anymore (my 5th, his 10th, our 3rd) so I'll either have to do some really good convincing to keep all my donor kids with the same dad, or look elsewhere, which I really don't want to do.

My mind says this has to be the last. I'm a single mom who has an 8 year old with a genetic condition and autism, two typicals, and my youngest who may have brain damage from his birth and is headed to genetics and physiotherapy and speech therapy. That's a lot for one person to take on by herself, especially when adding a 5th. My heart says that I have to try for number 6 and aim to "even out" the numbers. I think my mind will win this one though. It's just not fair to my special kiddos to need so much attention and to spread myself thin for the sake of evening out numbers. I'm about 90% sure this one will be my last, unless I meet someone, marry him, and he wants kids.

 

[BrittRashel]

Yeah, I'm just not ready to say this it. This is my last. I don't know, I guess I'll see how I feel when he's 6 months old or so. He may get here and change my mind completely about having a 3rd. I doubt it but we'll see.

 

[rollachick]

Im defintly not sure if this will be our last. We agreed on 2-3 (i wanted 4) we are just gona see what this one is like to see if we think we will be ok with another one or if we are happy with just 2.
Brandi: did you always plan on having a big family? Seems alot to take on as a single mum but good on you for doing it, i know i couldnt.

We did our fb announcement last night

Got my next scan in 3 days, cant wait to see the little bean again

 

[BrandiCanucks]

I grew up with 3 younger brothers and 11 younger cousins. I LOVE having a big family, and knew I wanted a big family for myself. I'm not willing to wait around for "the right one" and have it be too late. My ex had a vasectomy behind my back when our second was 5 weeks old, and after we separated, I got pregnant with my third. We got back together a few weeks before she was born so he's her father (although not biologically), and he forced me to tie my tubes, threatening to take my kids, divorce me and never let me see them again. I spent two years after that saving and paying off a reversal and have my 4th and this baby after my reversal.

I figure if "the right one" is going to come along, he'll accept my big family as his own, and I'll accept his too. That's how I'll know he's right.

[rebeccalouise]

I always said I wanted 2, but I do see myself having more. I just can't imagine this being my last. I know DH wants more..

 

[Kirstiedenman]

When my husband and I first talked about kids we said we wanted 4 and then I fell pregnant and I threw up for 28 weeks and I was like hmm don't think I could so this 4 times. I then fell pregnant with my second and threw up all day everyday for 28 weeks and then every so often till 32 weeks and then from about 38 weeks I think it was until I had him. After that I was sure i was done and then my husband and I split for 9 month. We had only gotten back together a month before I found out I was pregnant which was a huge huge shock as my cycles had been so regular and of course the month we get back together I ovulate on a different day and bam we were pregnant 9 months of solid day 14 ovulation and then it switches lol. I was really shocked as I said I was really done with kids and considering getting my tubes done but now that I am pregnant with this one and I am not even 13 weeks yet and I am down to vomiting only in the morning and 1-2 days a week after every meal I think hmm maybe I could do it a fourth time. Part of me says no i am done and the other part says why stop. But before I feel pregnant with this one it was the im happy with my boys I am ready to move on and have no more kids I guess I felt like I didnt have anymore in me to do the baby part again my boys were getting older the husband and I could enjoy our time together more and I was ready to enjoy the kids being older thats how I knew

 

[mrswichman]
