I think about 356. If I can squeeze that in in the next 12 weeks, I'm going off early. They are NOT having a great time of it. Lots of odd behaviours coming out, difficulty with getting enough sleep and getting up so early. I hate it and if I could go now, I would, but I need those hours.
 
I've been nesting like crazy lately! I didn't really have this with DD. But I am getting so anxious that my house isn't organized right now. All day while I'm at work I just think about what I'm going to clean when I get home. Atleast baby isn't due for a while still.
 
Hey all! I haven't piped in lately, but I'm still following along! Glad to hear everybody is doing well... 17w4d over here and feeling MUCH better hen I did in he first trimester! Only 2 weeks left until we get to find out gender! Super exciting!
 
Kristie- sorry to hear you're not feeling well but glad to hear bubs is ok!

Rollachick- hope the MS passes soon!

jaspie- Sorry to hear things have been rough for you. Hope they look up quickly. I know I would hate taking all those meds-I've had a hard enough time taking Tylenol for headaches!

Babyno1- Keeping my fingers crossed everything progresses smoothly for you.

AFM: I had my 16-week appointment on Monday. All seems to be well; I have my anomaly scan scheduled for September 18. I will have the scan done at the local hospital and results reviewed by a perinatologist (treating it as high-risk) because DH's uncle had a congenital hole in his heart. Very low risk of problems, but better safe than sorry. My other tests so far, NT and AFP have come back normal. :)

I did go to the local thrift stores today to shop for maternity clothes! I came away with eight pairs of pants (dress pants included) and three tops for around $60. Everything is in very nice condition! Considering I go back to work on Thursday, I kind of needed clothes that fit. I know maternity clothes are designed to be forgiving, but I cannot express how wonderful it was to have EVERYTHING that I tried on fit me! I actually got to make choices on what to buy! I will definitely need more tops, but think I am set on pants for the rest of the pregnancy.
 
Dustergirl I envy the luck you had with the thrift store I am in some serious need of clothes I had just lodt a whole heap of weight before I got pregnant and had thrown out all my loose fitting clothes so now I only have my skinny me clothes and I feel like everything I put on looks terrible! I dont think my belly is big enough for maternity clothes just yet though I wish I could say the same for my love handles lol they always expand with pregnancy and they are not doing my any justice this time round! I think once I hit like 23ish weeks it will be much better lol until then I have no idea what I will wear!

Kirstie,
I wasn't super skinny before pregnancy, I would call myself average, but not fat.
I bought some maternity pants and leggins because my pants would not fit me anymore and I am in love with them! They kind of adjust to your size, so you can wear them even with a small little bump!
 
I have been looking on the net for stuff as I am 6hrs from the nearest shopping mall and its all so expensive in australia your looking at like $60-$80 for a pair of jeans or pants.
 
Kirstie- That's horrible that it's that expensive.
I just bought my first 3 maternity clothing items, but they were all on clearance. A pair of jean capris for $15, a pair of leggings for $6, and a sweater for $9.
 
Gosh I wish!!! I bought a bit of maternity stuff from a uk website with my first and thought I was getting an awesome deal but forgot to do the exchange rate lol it was still cheap especially the tops I got on sale. Im lucky its still cool enough to wear trackies for now so I can get away with that but when I go out I don't like wearing them so its hard. I can still do up my normal jeans its just uncomfortable on my belly which is annoying.
 
I'm in desperate need of some trousers, sounds like I need a trip to your thrift store duster girl! Atm I'm living in dresses and leggings or maternity tights which are still a bit big on my bump but stay up, so much better than cheese wire regular tights! But yeah need trousers. I hate buying trousers at the best of times cos I'm short they're always too long.
 
I feel like all I ever do is complain on here lol but this pregnancy has just been so awful and now to add to my low blood pressure problem I have been having pain and pressure in my cervix as well as period like cramps for those of you that are on your 3rd or more is this normal at 16 weeks? I never had it this early with my other 2 it was only at the end that I would feel it with my first and from about 32-33 weeks with second. I am soooo sick of going to the drs and I bet they are sick of seeing me lol
 
I still am not in need of maternity clothes and it's driving me crazy!! I'm usually huge at this point already and I still just look fat.

I did buy a pair of maternity pants from Old Navy last weekend. They were on clearance for $7.99 and when she rang it through, it came up at $0.47.

Can't complain about that steal!
 
Hi Girls had my dating scan today and they moved me forward a week to 14 weeks giving me a due date of the 26th on Febuary.
 
I'm actually still in regular clothes, too... really surprising to me. But I think it's partly because all my clothes were fitting pretty loosely beforehand.
Honestly I can't tell if I'm showing or if I'm just getting too lazy to hold in my belly left behind from prior occupants. :)
 
I've been having light cramping in the morning which I remember having the same with DD. I had a lot of round ligament pain with her. I feel like I am already huge! None of my regular clothes fit, I need to do some shopping.
 
Question...at my next appointment do you think they would let me schedule my gender scan for maybe a week later?? Not like I have to see the doctor...

Also, finally bought the first official piece for baby, a boppy, gender neutral but can get different colors once we know.
