June 2013 first time bump buddies wanted

[CatchBabyDust]

awwwwww thats so sweet! Cant wait to feel mine constantly!

 

[AsEn11]

I am happy we all get to be impatient together lol
Its so nice to talk to first time mommies and not people who know EVERYTHING and judge everything.
I think we are all going thru everything pretty equaly..and all have a lot in common..it is nice

 

[pinkwaters]

Thanks for the reassurance ladies!

So true Ashley, I don't want my excitement over things that are happening to me for the first time ever to be reacted to this way --> oh I felt that with X and Y and Z and and and ;P Sometimes I do have questions for someone with experience, but its nice to know how first timers feel ;D

Alanna is a beautiful name! We're still name hunting for baby H ;D

I find baby and bump a little weird ;D Honestly every night before bed I put my hands on my bump as I talk to DH and just concentrate and get a few nice kicks, but when I don't do that I might get one if I'm lucky! It's like he only kicks when he knows someone is just sitting there waiting?! Cheeky! I still don't get much during the day but I'm happy so far!

I don't know if its me imagining but it felt like the kicks I was getting could be felt from the outside just a little bit

My 2 and a half year old niece was over at my mums this morning and she came running to me and went, when your baby is out are you going to give him milk like the cow in my book? I thought that was pretty hilarious. Then she went on to tell me how I have to give him a shower soon as he's out because he's swimming inside me now and needs to be cleaned!! I don't know where kids get things from!

 

[No Doubt]

Lol pink. Kids are so cute without even trying. I can't wait for those days when my son says things like that and makes me laugh!

I definitely think they are in there being cheeky. Even though Virtue moves around in there as soon as place my hand on my belly he stops or he moves somewhere else where I can't feel him with my hand and keeps on dancing, lol. He reacts really well to hubbs though. He always moves for him when hubbs places his hand on my belly. Has ever since I was able to first feel him. I just tell him, you don't know what mommy does for you yet, lol. Until daddy can carry you for nine months and bf you, I'm first, lol.

 

[pinkwaters]

lol It's the same here, he moves when I'm taking to hubs I will be really jealous if he moves for his hand more than mine ;D Well jealous and happy at the same time ;D

I seriously need to stop poking my belly!

 

[No Doubt]

Lol about poking your belly. When I wasn't feeling him as much I would poke to try to get him to move and then ask hubbs what he thought Virtue was doing in there. Hubbs would say, I don't know but I'm sure he doesn't appreciate you poking at him, lol.

 

[CatchBabyDust]

loool pink ur niece sounds adorable..Kids are very smart these days! As for the kicking, not sure when it could be felt from outside..but yesterday i managed to put hubbys hand at great timing and i would feel her kicking and tell him "now" he said he didnt feel anything but we could definitely see it! So seeing the kicks comes before feeling them from outside....didnt know!

 

[Ylanda]

Haha, DH told me off for poking my bump, as well. He said I was being an intrusive mum already, can't I give Alanna some peace!

My bump is definitely back today after yesterday's panic, not sure if movements have come back, as well, though, it's hard to tell with the anterior placenta. Some flutters are definitely my digestive system working, others feel different. Hubby has been trying to feel kicks as well and every time he thought he felt something I didn't feel a thing, so no idea how that works!

 

[AsEn11]

My OH gets on me for poking at my bump as well..haha
Last night I was doing it and she would kick/punch a few times than stop then I would do it again and she would respond its like a game..I love it
I wish I could lay down at work and play with her all day but I guess she needs her sleep.
Can you believe they sleep so much already!!

 

[pinkwaters]

lol Ashley, I keep wondering about his sleeping pattern -.- Now that my sister in law gave birth it hit me how much kids sleep and how little they ineract at first and we're all in such a rush to get more ;D

Still, I wouldn't mind the cuddles at all!

 

[AsEn11]

Yes pink they say our little ones sleep as much as a NB 12-14 hours a day! I was happy to read that so I could relax a little.

FYI ladies I went back to the doctor this morning and my fluid levels are back to normal!!
Thank God!! I go back in 2 weeks to recheck but talk about a weight off my shoulders!

Also I am 22w 1d and in the last month I gained more than I did in the first half of my pregnancy..anyone else? I feel like I eat the same so maybe it is just baby growing (wishful thinking)lol maybe it is all the fluid I have been drinking

 

[No Doubt]

Glad to hear your levels are normal Ashley!

 

[Ylanda]

Yay for normal levels!!!

I'm definitely piling the weight on more quickly now, as well, so I would like to think it's probably normal and nothing to worry about. With the placenta at full size now and baby putting on weight storing fat all the time I guess it's little wonder we see it on the scales...

 

[No Doubt]

Now is the time to pile it on Ylanda, but i've read that it will slow down into 3rd tri. They say a lb a week from here on out...AHHH!

24 weeks today and bump pic!

 

[AsEn11]

Cute bump!! I need to learn how to post pictures better lol
And ladies we are almost to V-day!! And 3rd tri can you believe it!!!!
Also OH gotto feel his first kick today...eeek!!!

 

[No Doubt]

Yay for the first kick for daddy! That's so fun. I think I was more excited about it than my hubbs was, lol.

Today is v-day for me and I have to say that knowing that Virtue has a fighting chance should anything go wrong does make me feel a teensy bit better. Just a couple more weeks til 3rd tri!

Are any of you have braxton hicks yet? They said they can start aroun week 22. To be honest I don't know if I've had any or not. From what other people say it feels like I would have to say no, but I keep getting this tensing feeling kind of right under my belly...it's not the whole thing. Well, not keep getting it, but I've gotten it a few times. So who knows.

 

[AsEn11]

How do braxton hicks feel?
And I totally was more excited than him lol

 

[No Doubt]

They say it feels like your entire belly tightens up all at once.

 

[pinkwaters]

COngratulations on V day ladies and yay for normal levels and first kick for hubby Ashley!!!

No braxton for me so far!

I had the best 3 days ever with hubbs and off work ;D It was so hard to get off to work today I just wanted to lay there ;D Its great to have him back!! In saying that, he only got 2 tiny kicks and not even when his hand was trying to catch one, I was trying to sleep and had my belly against his back and baby decided it was time to kick ;D they were veeeryyy light!!


Also, after sex I had a little bit of pink discharge that freaked me out but doctor said it was only normal after 3 months so phew, and it stopped after that day so yay!

Hope you're all doing well!

 

[No Doubt]

Glad you had a wonderful time with hubby. And how you cute about baby kicking him the back. Maybe that means he's gonna be kicking his butt forever, lol. They are such characters already!
