July 2009 buddies wanted!!

NJ and EB - huge hugs! The last thing you need right now are worries!!!

Things seem to be going well here, though the MS has decided to revisit a bit At least it is NOWHERE near as bad as it was before. I wonder why it comes back???

Anyhow, someone gave us a lovely bassinet today - it is going to be an awesome interim solution until my mom comes after the baby (she really, really wants to get us the crib!)

HUGE hugs all! Happy upcoming 20 week scans!

Last night, out of nowhere, I have pains in my left arm, which still continue as I type this. It feels like really severe growing pains. It's quite painful. Funny thing is, this also happened weeks ago, but to my RIGHT arm. It had me in tears, it was that bad. And like my left, it just came out of no where.

I can feel it in part of the upper left quadrant of my back and all the way down my arm into my hand. It was the exact same when it happened to my right arm, except on the right side.

Anyone experience this before and know what it is?

Hi there ladies,

Godivalocks, sorry i have no idea hun - hope this eases soon.

Glad everyone else seems to be okay, I am doing fine at the mo. I am having some serious stretching going on at the mo tho!! although i have been told this is the time when lo goes through a growth spurt.

My mum came round this afternoon - she bought us a gorgeous winnie the pooh baby bath and baby box that match, from mothercare. She bought them out of the local paper second hand for just 8 quid!! they are like brand new!!
She asked me if I minded her buying second hand, and when I said no she replied with Oh good coz the more I can buy second hand, the more I can buy!! or more like my dad will let her buy!!

She's starting to get soooo excited now!! My DS is 8 and she has been wanting another grandchild for years so she's really happy!! although she now has my step kids to spoil too!!

I also couldnt resist buying the first little bit yesterday - I bought a gorgeous sleepsuit in cream with little ducks on it!! starting to seem more real now!! and I must admit I am getting excited!!

I think I am going to be the last of us all to get my 20 week scan!! mine isnt until the 10th march when I will be close to 22 weeks!! but the midwife did give me an extra appointment to see her before as I had to wait soo long.

but anyway think i've babbled away too long now!!
ttfn!

That sucks. Hopefully time passes quickly for you until your scan.

I'm lucky, I guess, because I get my "20 week" scan tomorrow, but it's really at 19 +1. I'm hoping I'll be able to sleep tonight.

My OH won't get to find out anything until the day after because the appointment is during the time I usually talk to him.

OH is missing out on everything.

Im back , bloody internet at home does my head in , now for the catch up what have I missed

 

[geogem]

thats terrible, it must be soo awful not having him there to share things with you.

well i have been debating it for a while so now I am gonna do it ....................here is some pictures of my bump!!

you couldnt really see when I had the top down so I did one with it up too!!

17+2

 

[SJK]

lovely bump gem

isnt it exciting that we're all nearly half way and our scans r very soon, mine is 2 weeks tomorrow, making me 21 weeks xx

 

[godivalocks]

Wow, Gem, quite a bump going on there!

Yes, we're all almost half way there. Can't really tell with me. People are shocked when I tell them I'm 19 weeks (but this is my first, so I think it's normal). Thankfully, I am still able to sleep on my belly, with my leg cocked to the side.

It's all going by really fast, yet terribly slow, if you know what I mean.

 

[geogem]

well to be totally honest I was the size of a house with my first so didnt expect to be small this time, lets hope the baby is smaller this time!! at 9 and a half pounds he was big enough!!

 

[Twiglet]

Aww gem that is a lovely bump
9 and a half pounds was how much my OH weighed..been wound up that mine is gonna come out that big but my mum had small babies so somewhere in between will be nice!

A lot of us seem to have our "20 week" scan on the 10th March...must be a popular date for July mummies.

Cant wait to be half way there! Time is dragging but I could be working on my dissertation etc to pass the time quicker I suppose lol.

 

[itsmelou1984]

hiya all, i havent seen this thread before!! im a 8th july mummy and got my 20wk scan on the 17th feb!! cant wait x x

 

[madhatter]

[sam78]

Hi everyone!! I never realised this thread was here!! my EDD is 9th July, and 20 week scan 20th Feb, we already know it's a girl though!!! xx

 

[shelleylu]

Hey girls!

Wow weee Gem - what a bump!! I am nowhere near that big - in fact you cant tell Im Pg at all!! I will post 2 pics for you. One is when I suck right in when I am lying down when I need a wee (the only time there is anything) and a 'normal' pose one - you'll see!!

Welcome new girlies - 3 in one day! I'll add you to the front page. Anything else you wanna add let me know x Sam, how do you know you're having a girl??? I cant wait till my scan, 2nd March - Im soooo excited!!!

Well all is fine in my camp. Have had a bad tummy for a couple of days. Keeps getting really sore - and my back is still killing me most of the time. Saying that, most of me aches at the minute!

I have had really bd sugar cravings too this week. Must be to do with the growth spurt thing. I could seriously just sit there with a tin of biscuits and bars of choc and just eat and eat some more!!!

Well, Im off to pick some presents for my DS. Birthday soon, and Im so disorganised!! Internet shopping it is!!

TTFN everyone xxxxx

 

[shelleylu]

First pic is lying down when desperately needing a wee!!

Second pic is standing up after dinner. No bump, just severe bloating!!


PS, Yes, those are stretch marks...... for any girls who are having their first, and are likely to have big babies - welcome to stretch mark heaven!! lol
