Great announcement, JWC! :)

Unique - Popcorn is exactly what it feels like! I've been trying to come up with a good way to describe it and that fits with what I've felt too. I'm pretty sure it is early movement.

Lovely bumps, ladies! I look like a cow LOL :wacko:

I used my doppler last night and found baby's heartbeat almost right away, so very reassuring that I'm able to at least hear him/her now. It was running 154 bpm. Now I just need to wait to see baby one more time and I can finally get my announcement posted. Still haven't been able to find a babysitter for my other four kids to go for a private ultrasound (I had to take them with me last time when I had my ultrasound at 6 weeks and it didn't work out well) so I may not be able to post until after my 20 week scan at the doctor's. It seems so far away. I envy those of you that are due at the beginning of July and are already 15/16 weeks.
 
Im sure you dont look like a cow at all lilmiss! How awesome finding the HB :flower:
 
This baby’s heartbeat is around 150-160.

Has anyone started buying things yet?
 
I bought a bassinet the other day off Ebay, but Im not picking it up until next week. Ill wait to find out gender before buying anything else. Ill also need to go through the kids clothes to see what Ive got already too.
 
Because we weren’t planning on having a 3rd I literally got rid of everything so I’m having to get it all again! We’re not finding out the gender so mines just greys, whites and yellows lol

I have a blanket, some mitts, vets, hats and bibs so far.
 
I have only bought a couple small things (rainbow baby onesie, diaper genie that I actually bought with my first pregnancy)...my very generous friend has given us so much...we have a change table (need a mattress), a baby bjorn bouncer, a jolly jumper, a baby carrier, a play mat thingy (I am terrible...an activity centre??), countless toys and a high chair. We are spoiled!
 
Unique...I can't believe I just now realized we have the same due date!! So exciting :)
 
Got my downs results today
Less than 1 in 10000

Now to start telling people
 
Great to hear, glong! Hope your announcement goes well :)

I've been thinking this baby was a girl because it seems we're jinxed with the girl, boy, girl, boy pattern but honestly I'm secretly hoping it's a boy. My youngest is a boy so everything we have is boy stuff right now. I've thrown out everything from my girls since we were expecting to be done at four, so if it is a girl, we will have to buy a whole new wardrobe and baby girl stuff. Either that or we'll have to dress her as a boy for the first year of her life :haha:
 
I figure for sleeping and being around home it doesnt matter. My son sleeps in a pink sleep sack with a pink blanket currently haha. No one would even know ;)

Alli, we got lots of things given to us from ny sister in law too. Very lucky! It all adds up.
 
I’m so anxious to find out if baby is a boy or girl and it’s a month away!! February 20!
 
I had a super intense dream that baby was a girl, and my gender dreams with my other two were correct. I really want to find out this time but DH doesn't so I guess we probably won't! Can't think of any way to change his mind...

I feel baby maybe once a day. I do have an anterior placenta, at least so far-- that's what they told me at the 12 week scan. I was feeling my daughter a lot more at this point, but she might have just been more active in general. She's still that way! DH had felt her from the outside when I was this far along with her. I think it'll be a while before he feels this one.

Such a cute announcement JWC!

Congrats glong! My results were 1 in ten thousand too :) and also a 1 in ten thousand risk of developing pre-eclampsia, which was reassuring!
 
Alli - I’m so excited for you to find out. It has made everything feel much more real now :)

Livvy - can just you find out? Do you have a preference?
The technician said I have a posterior placenta yesterday. Which is why I have felt some slight movements. Can’t wait to feel him more regularly.
 
Congrats Starryeyed on team :blue:

Alligator I hear ya... I'm anxious too. My next appointment with my midwife is on Friday so I'm hoping that we'll have an official scan date then.

Liivy in my last pregnancy I didn't want to find out gender but my DH did. Is there a way the tech could maybe write down the gender on a piece of paper or put the gender bits in an envelope to look at later? Of course I'd understand if you didn't want to betray your DH's wishes and wanted to find out together.
 
I have been feeling baby move more, and even once from the outside yesterday when DH and I were at the movies! The movements are few & far between and quite quick, so I think it will be a little while before he manages to feel it.
