Wow!! I miss a few days and then there's load so pages!!
So many gender reveals! I love it! I cannot wait to find out! I didn't want to know but the party has me a bit pumped. And knowing all out family and friends will be there to share in the excitement is even better!!
I leak like crazy with my bladder. Did before being preggo as well. Not only do I have a double ureter but my bladder is tipped. So baby has been putting pressure on it from the getgo. Panty liners and cotton are you BFFs.
Not too much to report. Changed my diet a bit to keep bp elevated and so far so good. baby is soooo bouncy! I feel hard kicks and rolls daily now. It's absolutely incredible.
We finally. Finally. Settled on a girls name. I'm so excited. I absolutely love it. But I think we may keep it a secret until delivery. Unless it's a boy. But may do the same then as well!!

I love it!
Side note: I'm beyond amazed at the amount of people who find it necessarily to comment on the size of a pregnant woman. It's horrifying. A woman at the bus stop yesterday got my attitude and all the moms probably thought I was nuts! She asked if I was pregnant then commented on how big I was. That in itself is an oxymoron. So I just told her I was getting lazy and chubby and walked away. Good grief. I'll have to post a belly shot for you all later!!
Regarding the episiotomies. They. Suck. I had a horrible one with my DD. Differences between a dr and midwife. Glad I learned that lesson. But remember it's your body and your baby. If you are delivering naturally be. VOCAL!!! Make the lube up and massage your perineum. My son had a bigger head than my daughter and he slid out!! I had a 4th degree tear with her and was horribly restricted. If you aren't happy find a doctor willing to listen. And yes you can interview doctors!! After my son I switched hospitals and found a women's center. Best decision I ever made. Make sure you are happy and that they are willing to follow your requests.
Especially in the us!! A friend just posted his daughter had a c-section and a week later ended up in the ER due to a blood clotting side effect. All her fingers ended up with clots. We have horrible maternal care, which is why it's so hard to find good care. Idk about other countries. But finding a decent ob here is like a needle in a haystack!!!

Pix - Thats a gorgeous girls name! It's the one I wanted but OH wasn't too keen.
Glad things are going good for you
But yeah, some people can be really rude about pregnancy

People are so dumb! Why can't they just not say anything? I remember AFTER I had my son I was still a bit chunky. I gained like 40ibs while pregnant and only lost 11 after having him. Some lady asked me how far along I was "uh, almost 2 months OUT of pregnancy" she didn't even say anything. If you don't know it's better to just not ask!! Lol.

Congrats to all the gender reveals!!! Lots of girls !
As far as episiotomies, I have one with my first and with my 4th. I think I probably could have avoided one with my first if the dr had slowed my pushing, and done some perineal massage, but he was old school, and I was young and dumb, lol. With my 4th, he was so much bigger, and got stuck. His head delivers fine, but his shoulders wouldn't, so they had to cut me, deliver his arm first. Even then, I had to give a good push to get him the rest if the way out. Having never torn, I couldn't tell you which I would prefer, and I never had any healing issues. I would always prefer not to have one of course. My cousin had a 4th degree tear and had to go in for reconstructive surgery later. I would prefer an episiotomy over that for sure!
Been feeling lo like CRAZY over the last couple of days !! Love it!

Bb- I have found that what time of day you look at the bump- it varies. Like before/after a meal. Morning to night is also drastically different so I'm sure that's all it is :3 cute bumps!!

It will be either bloat going down or baby moving position. For me it depends which side I look at because the baby seems to like to lay on my right hand side so have a big bump that side n not much on the left

Had my ultrasound today, looks like we are team 
the picture isn't the best quality and he didn't seem to want to cooperate and give us a profile shot but there is a somewhat creepy looking face picture.

Argh so the hospital didnt ring me yesterday. I rang at 2:30 asking what was happening and they were still waiting for the doctor to look at the scan and stuff. I'm hoping they ring me this morning. And I'm hoping it wont be anything serious to worry about. Her head was measuring a week behind..fancy leaving people all stressed!
