I'm around, just totally miserable and not wanting to be a downer, so not saying much, haha 
My posts would all be things like, 'I didn't sleep at all last night' and other lame stuff. Trying so hard to be positive but frankly I'm just depressed at how much time I have left in this pregnancy. All the physical ailments are pretty unbearable sometimes! I am on beta blockers now to try to control my tachycardia but the meds aren't doing anything, so I still get near black-outs a couple times every day.
I have been advised not to get pregnant again, which is fine because we had planned a tubal ligation during this C-section anyway, but to hear my doctor say it, knowing that for some reason my body just wasn't built to be pregnant, I feel like I've failed somehow. Argh!
But on a happier note, anyone wanna share pictures of outfits and baby stuff they've bought? I went shopping last weekend, and getting a bunch of cute baby girl clothes lifted my spirits a bit!

Shopping for girl clothes is the best!!! 
I love it!!
Don't think I have any pictures of it anymore though - and it's all stuffed away in a drawer that's so full it can't open without taking the drawer on top of it out
(it's not that much really, the drawer is just not very deep)

I'm still here, but I'd be a downer too.
I'm always so tired even though I sleep pretty much all night and the front of my belly hurts..I pretty much never want to do anything. My husband surprised me while I napped yesterday and cleaned my house so I feel a little better today about that. He's really been my superman. Or shower broke and he fixed it, mowed our huge lawn, and cleaned up our house. I love him! I feel guilty I haven't been more helpful though.

Blimey 3 weeks ! I have a 4d scan booked for this weekend !
come back and share some pics ?! 
Also here! I wanted to come by and check how everybody was doing.
Things here are good. I was in Central America over Christmas so have spent the last three months being monitored for signs of microcephaly and Zika complications, which has not been much fun and has definitely made me hide away a little more.
We had our third growth scan (I have them every 4 weeks through to the end of pregnancy) this morning and although we're not out of the woods yet, little girl is looking strong and healthy and growing like a weed by all accounts. Blood tests have also come back negative for antibodies which is good. Right now the crippling heartburn and the tailbone pain and the exhaustion seem totally unimportant. I'll take it over and over again if it means she's ok. Although having said that, I was a total moaning misery yesterday
I'm about to head off to Italy and then London for a kind of babymoon and then we're pretty much at the end of the second trimester which is crazy to me. Then it's nurseries, glucose tests, childbirth classes, oh and the small matter of getting married to look forward to.
Sending you and your bumps lots of love x

I know! I've never measured ahead with my other children so was a bit of a shock! Will do if little lady decides to cooperate and show her face.

Wow Miss Bea, sounds like you have been through so much. Were you bitten by a mosquito while down there, or are they doing all the testing/monitoring merely because you traveled to South America?
RedButterfly and RhiRhi, so exciting about the scans, hope they give you some great pics!

I would love to partake in the Gift Exchange, but unfortunately I have a lot of stuff going on (remodeling our house, putting it on the market to sell next week, finding a new place, etc) that funds are limited and not knowing what our address will be to receive gifts! Sorry ladies 
Biggest worry is we don't sell our home and find a new place in time before the baby arrives. Ahhhh!

We sold our house and moved while pregnant with DD. Moving etc is so stressful while pregnant! Take it easy and I hope you find a new home soon
