July Sparklers 2016!

[dimmu]

Hello everyone,

Had my 20 week scan today and all is looking as it should. Also got a confirmation it's a little girl, so pleased!!! Just wish we had some ideas for the name!

Below a couple of pictures, she was busy practising her yoga making it tricky to take some of the measurements!

Karry according to my ticker we are half way there today yay!!!

I'm also wearing maternity clothes now, although some of them are still a bit baggy. But I'm sure at this rate I will fill them up in no time!!

WOW! Half way! Go us!!

And huge congratulations on your little girl! That is such an adorable scan picture!

Yay for more scans/gender reveals! I'm confirmed for having a GIRL.

I'm experiencing sciatic nerve pain... are there any relief methods?

I'm afraid I don't know about the sciatica but congrats on your little girl!

AFM - I'm here contacting schools for my little man & planning his birthday party. How is almost two already?!? For his birthday I was thinking of going to a play centre with his little friends (although I'm really struggling to come up with the minimum number!) & then doing a family dinner that night. What do you guys think? Is that ok? This is all new to me! Last year we had a photo shoot because we had been gifted a voucher for one & did the family dinner at the weekend. Poor little man loved his dinner (& still does - he eats ANYTHING) but was so sick on his actual birthday so hopefully this year will be less eventful! Sorry for going O/T!

Hope my dog doesn't decide to do that - he's a German Shepherd! He's such a great dog & so patient with my toddler but he got a bite or scratch last week & I had to bring him to the vets. All cured but now he's limping - poor guy can't catch a break

So no dog jumping on bump here but my toddler doesn't get the concept of having to be gentle with mama!!

And YAY! Another due date buddy!

My dog weighs 7lbs I bent down to pick her up and she tried to jump at the same time. she is a sweetheart, just missed my arms.

DandJ, one pose that helps me is to be on my hands and knees and arch your back up and down. It gets LO to move off your nerve I get nerve pain really bad on the right side only.

 

[Hollynesss]

Dimmu, beautiful pictures!!!

Aw! What breed is she?

 

[Cowgirl07]

A shih txt cross with maybe chihuahua? We got her from a rescue as a pup she weighed 1 1/2 lbs when I got her. Here's some pictures

had scan today but partner couldnt make it so got them to write it down so can look together-

we are having a boy! one of each now hehe they even included a pic of proof lol

Sorry not been on - have lots of posts to catch up on but yay halfway guys

Hey all, sorry I've been MIA again.

I too am totally lost on names! I have plenty of girl names I love, but...we're having a boy lol! I want to give him OH's first name and my middle name (Rea, it's also my dad's middle name & he was named after his dad's friend named Reagan), but OH is not sold on this.

So just went to the dr Wednesday and baby's heartbeat was fine. I've been having some spotting after intercourse, which I know is usually totally normal. But this morning after we did it there was much more (bright red), a little pain, and it lasted longer (about 4 hours but has gone now). I'm freaking myself out thinking I have light cramping, but if I do it's super light (although I didn't feel my first contractions in labor with DD, so, hmmm). I called the DR on call for my OB/GYN, which was unfortunately not my actual DR, but he reassured me that it's probably fine and just rest and drink plenty of fluids, and come to the hospital if either the bleeding or cramping gets worse. I'm concerned about placenta previa or something, but my anatomy scan isn't until Tuesday! Eek! I really don't want to run the hospital if it's nothing, which it likely is just my cervix irritated. I'm just freaking myself out because I never had even a spot of blood with DD, and woke up feeling off from having nightmares that woke me up crying.

Anyone have any 2nd trimester bleeding like this with this or a previous pregnancy?

Thanks ladies. Hope everyone is doing great!

i had this at 18 weeks- cervix irritated but really scared me so much so we didnt dtd for a while into third tri!

loving the names guys and love all the gender reveals

[jjbuttons]

is there an fb group for the july sparklers??

hope everyone is good today? telling parents the gender later when visit them

[Babylove100]

Me!! I've never really been a huge chocolate fan, I prefer savory! But I CANNOT get enough of the stuff haha! Sure it's not helping my weight gain situation, must try harder.

Have my consultant appointment today, not 100% sure what happens at this one but I guess I'll find out later!!

 

[karry1412]

Cowgirl07 - She is absolutely adorable! And I love that she is a rescue! My guy is too (& was also underweight when we adopted him) & I volunteer with an animal charity. I was on the committee but had to step down when hyperemesis kicked off. No harm anyways because my role would have been busiest in June/July where I'll surely have other things to be doing! I still help out when & where I can though.

jjbuttons - Congrats on your little boy! We were going to ask to have the gender written down too incase DH couldn't get the day off work but I just heard he's going to be able to be there! Good luck with the gender reveal!

dimmu - I know I'm getting a bit ahead of myself but I can't wait until the group gets to the point of announcing arrivals & I especially can't wait for you & Cowgirl! It'll be interesting to see how close to the 13th we stay. I know I won't be allowed go over anyways.

Babylove100 - Good luck with the appointment!

AFM - Absolutely exhausted! Counting the minutes until DS nap time! Unfortunately I can't really rest when he's sleeping because a friend just announced she is coming over tonight so now I've to clean the kitchen (which to be fair needed to be done anyways). I just thought we'd be going out instead which wouldn't result in me cleaning! Also heard back from all the schools I contacted for DS so all is looking good there, just need to post the forms. Still stressing about his birthday party though!
