There how I feel, like Virtue is just picking up speed. People think I'm kidding when I tell them I feel him at least every half hour. They just can't believe it cause when they were preggo a lot of their babies didn't move this much.

Now I have to go get a massage, I really want one after you guys talking about it so much, lol.

Another milestone for us 27. Double digits today! Only 99 days left, and we are officially in the 7th month of pregnancy!
 
wow congrats!! 27 weeks! Thats amazing so close now!
 
Congratulations on your double digit countdown ladies !!!!

Ashley glad your fluids are all good!!

I get good movements from baby now but not as often as I should at 25 weeks but I still have the anterior placenta to blame ;D Excited for my 3D scan next week and the oast 5 days off have been a blessing in terms of rest even though I just can't find sleep anymore due to cramps ;s good and bad I guess ;D

I decided I will be asking for part time in March and April since May is my final month - Feels so soon!!! Yikes!

Hope you're all doing well! I'm having a huge increase in appetite so eating veeeeeery well ;D
 
Pink, anterior placenta is limited how much I feel of AJ, as well. I still feel her plenty, but only on my left hand side (I think she is still laying across my body with her feet to my left) and sometimes very low down when she punches me in the privates! ;)

I handed in my paperwork for maternity leave yesterday, if all gets accepted my first day off will be the 14th May. I will be requesting part-time work when I come back, in the run-up to the birth I need all the cash I can get! ;)

We had sex last night for the first time since Christmas! :happydance: I finally feel like a real woman again!!! :D
 
My movements feel low as well, I thought I'd be getting something higher up by now but movement is good ;D
I know what you mean, I thought about part time now for a while but I just know I'd be so miserable if I dont ask for it. Been trying to save as much as I can upto now, still alot left to buy I think

Starting to think of what needs to be ready seriously now as I;m getting heavier!

Yay for sex, I havent had any for 10 days, wierd for me but the one position I can tolerate has my hand cramping in all directions ;D
 
Yeah, we really need to be getting on, as well... Weekends keep being really busy so we haven't really made much progress on the nursery etc... Paul did a major re-arrange of the other spare room we have to make space for the sofa-bed to move through from what will become the nursery but now the other room needs some serious sorting out. It's all heavy physical work, so I need to get on with it before I get much bigger and even less agile... Today is also really nice and sunny so I think it'll be the garden that'll get my attention when I get back from work today. Need to see what we've got and what we need to get the growing season started! :)
 
I am jelouse of the lack of sex you ladies are getting haha sounds weird but I would be satisfied with like once a week but my OH prefers it as much as possible so we compromise with like times a week..just hard to get into it when its uncomftorable..haha
Also my movement is in th esame spot low adn to the left she lays down my right side so it makes sence..funny i just felt her as I typed this haha
But she sleeps a lot and wakes during the night..I noticed her movements gettign stronger..isnt it the most amazing thing ever?!?
I am at 25 weeks today..getting closer to meeting are little babe! I am so excited..and also so behind on the nursery eek so much to do!
 
Yay for the sex ylanda! I recen't turned into a hornball and want it a couple times a week, lol. I even had a naughty dream the other night. That only happens when I am really tapped out, but that's not the case right now so I must really be in the mood, lol.

I'm still feeling Virtue all over but he's kind of L shaped so his head and hands are up under my right rib and his feet down by pubic bone on the left. When he was smaller he was facing the other way. I'll often watch my belly jump. Me and hubbs sat in bed Saturday morning and just watched him perform. He loves when his daddy talks to him and just gets so excited and responds so well to him, lol. It's so cute!

I can't wait to be 30 weeks! Only 10 more weeks after that!

We are doing pretty good with everything being together. All the additional stuff will be bought after the shower and then we'll have everything, so I'm not stressing about that. There are two daycares that I want to visit downtown, but the weather is such crap that I never want to go out in it. Maybe next week. Plus today the possibility of me staying home became more real. My friend told her friend that has two kids about me and she said if I am staying home to let her know as the lady that's currently watching her kids is a nut and she lives farther out than she would like to travel. We just live up the street from her. She was really interested. So if hubbs took that part time job and I stayed home and earned money from watching her kids, we could definitely make up most of if not all of my salary. I told hubbs that I seriously wanted to talk about that. He basically has that job, he's just waiting on confirmation of the salary and then I will need to talk to this lady and her hubbs, and check on the insurance at my hubbs job. This could really be a possibility for me!
 
I'm with you 27! So excited to finally be in the home stretch! I think it's starting to sink in now for hubbs. A couple weeks back we just sat in bed and watched my belly jump as Virtue played around in there. That was the first time I think he actually saw my belly move and he couldn't stop staring at it. He just kept saying "I saw it...I saw it again...I saw that...and that one" lol. Then he couldn't stop rubbing my belly, lol...nut! Lately he's been asking how I feel about bubbs being here in 3 months...this is why I think it's all settling in for him. And he's been killing himself trying to get things squared away with his job before he leaves. First of all it's three months away so he has plenty of time, and he's only able to take a few weeks off so it's not like he's never going back, lol. But it's nice to see him like this. I was getting a little worried for a sec cause he was so removed, or at least that's how it seemed. But this truly is like my hubbs, wait until the last minute, so it doesn't surprise me in hindsight.

I have my glucose test tomorrow, not looking forward to drinking the yucky drink...blah, or getting stuck with a needle...double blah. Just hope it all comes back ok. It's during my regular checkup. From here on out, my preg tracker says appt are every two weeks. It will go to one a week at some point, so we're definitely cooking with grease now, lol.

I'm just getting so excited! I can't wait to meet my little man. I'm freaking out more about delivery, but I just keep telling myself I can do it. Still gonna attempt going natural, but no shame if I need the epi, lol. Hubbs mom just keeps telling me I'm brave, lol. I just can't wait!
 
That's the spirit, no doubt, of course you can do it!!! Your body is designed to give birth, just try and stay relaxed and let your instincts take over!!! However, it's great you're keeping an open mind, I think many women go in with unrealistic hopes or set in stone plans and then get very upset if things go differently. You're being very wise! :)

I'll have another appt at 27 weeks (meant to be 28 but I'm away that week), then at 31, 34, 36, 38, 40 and then it goes to weekly appts if I'm still preg. I've started thinking about a homebirth again so I better get to know my MW a lot better over the next few weeks! :) It's so incredibly exciting, I can't wait to make it to the end of 2nd tri and finally get on the home stretch!
 
I'm totally that person ylanda, lol. I plan everything and when it doesn't go exactly according to plan I get upset. So I told myself I would have to give a lot to the wind with this pregnancy as its all out of my control anyway. Plus that will keep me from being upset when things don't work out, cause I have no expectations.

Doctor appt today...ick!
 
Ok everyone, had my doctor's appt and everything went pretty good. They did say that they found ketones in my urine which is a sign of dehydration, so they said to drink more water...even though I drink a gallon a day, lol. I said fine, whatever, lol. Other than that everything is good. My belly is measuring at 27 weeks, right on track and they said that I had only gained 18lbs which is right where I should be! Thank goodness for that, I've been too afraid to ask about my weight. So that leaves me 7lbs for my pregnancy weight gain in third tri. I want to stay under 25.

Had the glucose tolerance as well. The drink made me gag, then it felt like it was sitting in my throat, but luckily my checkup took up most of the hour so I didn't have to think about it. The needle hurt, but I hate needles. The nurse thought I was nuts cause as soon as she pulled my arm down, she saw one of my tattoos, and couldn't believe I was afraid of needles, lol. Spine abifida test was within normal range...they didn't have this last time cause the lab didn't send it over. I have to have another u/s around 30 weeks cause of my fibroid. She said I may have to have another one after that as sometimes they can grow and get in the way at delivery, and mine has been growing this whole pregnancy.

Ok, everything else is good, not that all that wasn't, but you know, lol. And appts every two weeks now.
 
Hey Guys!

Hope you're all doing great! Congrats on 3rd tri ladies! yay
I didn't get my 3D scan ;( The doctor said that the water around the baby was JUST enough so not enough space to see anything which I just don't get but I figure with 3 months to go I'll just wait to meet my baby H <3
My next scan is 27 weeks this coming Sunday then its every 2 weeks which is great ;D

Completely sleepless now and work is just such a hassle ... I'm considering starting my leave in April ... I Just can't keep up anymore, keep getting migraines from lack of sleep.
 
Hey congrats to everyone having healthy results in checkups..and congrats for those in the third trimester already!! :D

Can't wait for that milestone..hope everyone is doing well ..
 
Not long to go for us, Catch, just about two weeks!!! :D
 
Pink- Bummer on the 3d scan :(
I am worried about that but she lets you come back again at no charge to see if baby has moved..so fingers crossed..plus i dont go until 32 weeks i believe

I cant believe I will be will in the 3rd trimester next week...eek so exciting!!

Also the more i think about it the more having a baby the more surreal it seems
 
ylanda- Yup! Two weeks to go exactly for me :D urs is less ;) lol ur two days ahead!

Do u realize ladies that even though if ur further than other pregnancies or behind..in the end when those precious babies are born they will all be the same age anyways! I think its only during the pregnancy and first year that actually makes a difference...hehe ..my cousin gave birth two days ago. I was so excited for her..but now i kinda miss our pregnancy talks lol ..she's moved on to fun new born stuff! XD
