Knocked Up Naughties

[topazicatzbet]

thanks, it just needs some new flooring putting down next year when i can afford it as the carpet is pretty stained.

ok girls prepare yourselves for my bump pic.
i ve been brave and shown skin.

room looks gorgeous beth and so does bump.

hi girls. i decided to pay for a private scan just to check on things as when i had my 20 week one dd cried the whole way through and i didfn't really get to see much. i was told today that i have an anterior placenta (not sure if thats hows its spelt). does anybody know if this means anything??

anyway here's my pics of pudding...

 

[flowertot]

ok so it didn't work.... will try again later.

 

[topazicatzbet]

it just means your placenta is at the front of your bump rather than behind baby. it can reduce the movements you feel.

 

[flowertot]

hope this works because i've already tried a million times

thanks. i'm still feeling lots of movement just not as strong as when i was having dd (i could see elbows and knees sticking out with her) . this time its more just like little ripples.

I had anterior placenta last time - and again this time too! Apparently it reduces how much movement you feel. I didn't feel much until around 22 weeks last time, and nothing yet this time.
On the positive side, I never had any sharp, painful kicks last time.

Beth, the nursery looks so great! Ours will just be a small bedroom with a cot & change table in it - nowhere near as flash as that!!

i know its strange because i felt movement from 15 weeks and my bump still feels very sore sometimes when he kicks like i'm bruised inside and always wake in the night with pains whereas last time i didn't feel any pain apart from the really strong kicks.

 

[topazicatzbet]

awe flower he is gorgeous.

glad you like the room, i love it. im actually sleeping in there already cos the cats are used to having my room and it wasnt unusually for me to wake up with 2 or 3 cats asleep on my chest or stomach, but i cant cope with that now so rather than upset them i ve moved into the nursery. i ll be sleeping in there for the first few months anyway. plus my bedroom is horrid, i stripped the wallpaper off the walls 18 months ago to decorate and some of the plaster came off with it and i cant afford to get them re plastered so its just bare walls in there.

Beth, love the bump! And flower, your baby is gorgeous! If you're feeling those strong kicks with an anterior placenta, he must be a little bruiser!!

Well, girls, Harper is doing fabulously, and I love being a Mommy. Her belly button stump came off yesterday, and she appears to have a lovely little innie belly button! She is eating like a champ, and sleeps well, and is not particularly fussy. Hopefully she'll continue to be a mellow baby. The nights are hard, as she is up every 2-3 hours for a feed, but she eats and goes right back to sleep, so that is good. Chris is a fantastic Daddy, he actually fights me to change her dirty diapers! He has been great about doing laundry, running to the store, taking out the garbage, and generally keeping things at the house running smoothly so I can adjust to mommyhood. He's home for another week, I am dreading his return to work, he's been such a big help!

Tori and Blondie, anything happening yet? We need another early naughty baby!

 

[Blondie]

No sign of any imminent arrival here yet Caitlen - baby feels really low and getting painful BH but nothing that makes me think baby is eager to come out

Just been out shopping all afternoon with DH as was getting cabin fever sitting at home - crazy christmas shoppers everywhere it was insane

 

[flowertot]

aww Caitlen glad everything is going well.

Blondie - baby is obviously getting ready so hopefully you won't have to wait much longer. hope you enjoyed your shopping trip.

i ordered my hospital bag off ebay last night and went on a hospital bag shopping spree yesterday too. got a few bits like travel shampoo, toothpaste, toothbrush, BIG towels, BIG underwear, pj's etc. feel like i'm starting to get things sorted now. as soon as HIP Grant comes through we will be starting on the nursery. i hope i'm not waiting 7 weeks like Beth did!

 

[topazicatzbet]

yay flower for the hospital bag, think we can all learn from cait and get it packed early so we arent caught out.

mine is done, i just need to add things like ipod sweets etc but they are all things i could live without.

 

[tori_cottier]

Well Mine is not showing any sign of coming out soon, He has dropped as the heart burn has stopped now (touch wood)

I'm just wanting him out now but on the other hand I kinda think if he's happy in there and he'll grow some more before coming into this big wide world then who am i to interfer, I say this while i'm sat here comfortable, ask me to repeat this when I'm trying for the 5th time to get off the sofa then i may say something else (with a few french words in there lol)

Beth your room is lovely and you tummy is spot on so cute!

Flowertot look at you for being so organised, I think me Caitlenc and blondie dragged our heels packing our bags, mines done now just need snacks

Caitlenc you will never lose that feeling hunny its the best part of motherhood.

Hugs to all you ladies sorry it's a little short but I'm getting more tired and this has effected my memory

xxxx

 

[topazicatzbet]

hey ladies, how are we all doing today?

not much to report here, having a lazy day, although that said i have been food shopping, and cleaned out the cat pens outside.

im going christmas shopping tom with my mum, i ve roped her in to help with the bags. thankfully i live right by a shopping centre so can park near by and make several trips to the car with them. then i have someone coming to see the last puppy i have available, so fingers crossed thats them all sold and they will be leaving in 4 weeks.

 

[tori_cottier]

Hay hun,

it's a little quiet on here today,

i've been busy making my christmas cake at last, we only had one hick up when i put the whisky in and i nearly brought up my cup of tea and toast, it was strange tho as i love a islay whisky with ice, (hope this goes back to normal when George is born)

I've had a few cramping today but i can't says it's the start of things as they could be just george moving down (fingers crossed) i hate not knowing if he's engaged or not tho. roll on the 19th when i get my first sweep!

so are you one of these people who do a whole christmas shop in one go beth? i'm hopinf this time next month it will be all done and dusted!!

 

[topazicatzbet]

im gonna try, thankfully i only have 13 people to buy for and the most i spend on people is £15. we do cheap christmas's but spend it together as a family. so i should be able to get it all apart from my mums as she will be with me.

 

[pipkintyler]

God it is quite on here at the moment, as for Xmas pressies, I'm quite lucky this year as I'm only buying for 2 of my mates, their children and my nieces and nephews so only 10 presents to buy, I'm taking my parents out for a nice meal as they don't want anything and I'm on holiday with Russ's parents as we're off to Lanzarote on the 20th December for a week, can't wait till I go, not been abroad since my honeymoon which was over 2 years ago.

Hope everyone's ok. xxx

 

[topazicatzbet]

blimey where is everyone??

well im shattered after the shopping, only got my mum and dad to buy for now, got everyone elses.

i also went to mothercare and bought 2 nursing bras, i got measured, the woman said it was a bit early but my boobs havent grown much in a while and i had the money this month to get them so just got 2.

since being 15 i ve always been a 34b, i ve just bought 38d
think my bump had grown over night as well as i look massive today.
