June 2013 first time bump buddies wanted

[pinkwaters]

Yay Ylanda, you must be busy staring at all the cute items!!

My sister bought me the tiniest timberlands for baby H and it started to sink in that all of this is real & that I'll have a beautiful baby boy, it can be too overwhelming sometimes that I just can't believe it!

Got my hand on some heartburn meds & thankfully slept better last night.

Looking forward to my 20th week scan, I'll probably book my 3D ones then for week 23-25!! Almost half way in!

 

[Ylanda]

We bought almost enough stuff to run a full wash of baby stuff now - is it too early to put babygrows up on the line??? You're right, pink, it is very overwhelming and sometimes difficult to believe! But such an amazing feeling at the same time!

Yay for the heartburn meds and better sleep! My preg pillow has shipped yesterday, so hopefully I will get some better sleep soon, too!

I can't wait for 20 weeks scan (28th Jan) but tomorrow I *should* be able to finally listen to AJ's heart beat!!! Fingers crossed, I can't wait!!!!!!

 

[pinkwaters]

Never thought I'd gush over all of this but hearing the heart beat is amazing by itslef! Enjoy that ;D And even though I think it's a little early for baby stuff, my family are going nuts buying tiny things and I can't help but get excited! Go crazy ;D

Your scan is a day after mine, I'll be going in Jan 27th (20wk6days)
Hope we get good pics to share ;D Are you planning on doing a 3D scan too?

Hope you sleep well with the pillow now!

 

[No Doubt]

So exciting bearing about all of the scans and baby stuff! I still haven't bought any clothes. My mil bout a onesie and blanket a little after finding out we were preggo and a coworker gave me a onesie. I plan on getting just one onesie, its says "9 months ago mommy read fifty shades of grey". Lol. Someone posted it on my journal when I found out I was preggo and its actually true that I read that trilogy the month I conceived. I know family will get the rest of the clothes an whatnot. But I plan on doing onesies basically until they are actually going somewhere.

I have the gender scan on the 21st. Hubbys still just finding out, not me. But I'm excited cause we will get a DVD Thumper moving around in there! I have to ask about a 3d scan. I do want one, but just later when everything is really defined.

I ordered a pillow too. It should be here in a couple days, maybe even today!

Pink, glad you slept better last night. Being up with heartburn is no fun.

Ylanda post pics of the stuff you got...please! Yes I'm begging I love seeing that stuff, lol!

I have to post a pic of my bump, I swear it came out of no where. One day it was all cute and small and then boom, it exploded and Thumpers saying hello to the world!

 

[Ylanda]

Exciting times! I'll 19+5 for my scan but it had to be a Monday so that hubby could come with. Can't wait to see another picture of my little bundle of joy!

No, I'm not planning a 3D scan. I'd have to get one privately and I think I'd rather save the money.

Got a text from DH that my pillow arrived - can't wait to snuggle up!

 

[Ylanda]

Haha, doubt, just read your post... Most of the stuff we got is plain white basics (short sleeved and sleeveless body suits and some sleepsuits) but the elephant sleep suit is the cutest thing ever, I'll def post a pic of that!!!

 

[No Doubt]

Yay, my bobby came today! So excited about that! Also here is my latest bump pic...huge, I know, lol.

 

[AsEn11]

Cute bump!! How far along are you agin..i cant wait for mine to catch up! I will probably eat those words eventually haha

 

[CatchBabyDust]

very cute bump no doubt! Cant wait for mine.....right now its just trying to show itself lol

I have a problem with my right hip these two days..its been a bit painful...As a baby i had hip dysplasia..i never had problems after all the treatments but now im worried that i'm getting heavier and with all the muscles being softer it could happen again?! I barely moved my right leg getting off bed this morning! is it possible?

 

[No Doubt]

That was taken yesterday at 18+2.

Catch my hips hurt too. Do you have a body pillow? Sometimes even a pillow between your legs while sleeping will help.

 

[AsEn11]

So I got home after a long day yesterday..I went down stairs to change into my stretchy pants and looked on the bed and there was a Boppy pillow!! My sweet boyfriend surprised me and I couldnt have been happier! But when we laid down to watch a movie i think he was jelouse that the pillow was between us lol..but my back already feels better after one night..I dont love how you have to piesce it together but it is washable so that is a plus!
P.S. 3 more nights of sleep until I wake up and get ready to go into the doctor! i hope baby is healthy and we can figure out the sex..anxiety is thru the roof!!

I tried that last night..much better this morning! Thankss

 

[pinkwaters]

Cute Bump No Doubt!!!
Ashley I know how that feels ;D barely made my way through the wait to finding out gender! Time will pass one way or another ;P Update us with pics as soon as

Catch glad your hips are better! I find the sleeping positions are what determines how I feel the next day myself, last night I kept waking up from my hands getting numb because they kept getting squished as I move around the pillows ;D

I'm having a hard time what is supposedly baby moving and what is just uncomfortable pain, I get those bubbly feelings then a second lasting sharp pain and when I turn I feel little pinches, going nuts, I keep telling hubby I must've hurt him ;s
Praying for unmistakable movements so that I can relax ;D

Hope you're all doing well today!

 

[No Doubt]

Pink, those sharp pains are probably just round ligament pains from the stretching and pulling. Its perfectly normal during pregnancy and baby is fine. You have nothing to worry about. But the bubbly feelings are most likely baby so yay!

 

[Ylanda]

I love my mat pillow, soooooo comfy!

How is everyone else feeling in terms of nausea/sickness? I've been feeling awful and throwing up the past 3 days when I couldn't sleep till lunch time because I had to go to work. So annoyed, I thought I was out of the woods but it seems my body is still too tired to survive on normal amounts of sleep... not impressed! Went to see the midwife yesterday, she took blood again to check my iron stores. The iron I've been taking is giving me terrible diarrhea so it would be nice to be able to come off it. On a more positive note, we got to listen to LO's heartbeat - what an amazing amazing sound!!!

 

[pinkwaters]

Thank you No Doubt - I get excited thinking it's baby then the stabbing pains interfere ;D I look forward to those bubbles every night, not always there, but comforting to know that this could be baby H! I want to imagine those round ligament pains are kicks so bad but I know it's too soon for that ;D

Hey Ylanda, I hope you feel better soon. My nausea is completely gone by now but the heart burn and feeling full make me want to throw up but I just use mints and antacids instead which work just fine so far.

It's good to see most of us have pillow support ;D definetly a life saver!

Yay, my bobby came today! So excited about that! Also here is my latest bump pic...huge, I know, lol.

Yay for the bump No Doubt!! 19 weeks is almost here. Not huge. Just distinctly pregnant which I keep saying is soooo much better than when people just thought I was fat!!

 

[No Doubt]

People tell me that I'm not huge, but I just feel like I am when I see a pic of myself, maybe cause id lost so much weight and toned up, then I see this belly and I'm just like holy crap! Lol, I've gained 13lbs which they say is normal, but I feel like that looks like a lot more than 13lbs, lol. I'm a nut, I know.

 

[Ylanda]

I feel the same, NoDoubt! I was at my fittest and slimmest ever when I got preggo - and now I keep putting on weight and my tummy is getting bigger and bigger. I'm not too impressed but people keep saying it looks like baby and not like fat...

 

[CatchBabyDust]

u never realize how fit u were till u get pregnant lol! Seriously, i was checking back some of my pix before pregnancy by a month or even during the first weeks of pregnancy...i had a TINY WAIST!! I did not know it was that tiny...but im glad its getting wider now for all the good reason!!..

Moved my Gender scan till Friday!! Im not sure if it'll be clear by 16 and a half weeks?? Im just gona try my luck..and its been 4 weeks since my last visit..so i must go sometime this week..

Hope everyone is feeling great! Im jealous some of u are feeling movements already! But to be fair u are few weeks ahead
