Lil' October Pumpkins 2013

Restraining order sounds very necessary here. It'll only get worse when she returns.

I don't feel any consistency either. She is getting much stronger and I feel her much more often, but she also tends to hide so I can't feel her at all half the time.

My OH still has only felt her once and its starting to make me kind of sad. Even when he's touching my belly, I can feel her, but he can't.

What a nightmare maze, hope you can get his number blocked.

 

[KalonKiki]

I hope you can get his number blocked, Maze. I'm sorry that you have to deal with such rudeness.

I haven't been feeling consistent kicks throughout the day either, but I do feel Liam move every day. OH still can't feel the kicks from the outside yet, but I've heard it's normal not to be able to feel them from the outside until about 24 weeks.

To those having trouble with names: do you have any ideas as to what you would like your baby name to mean? If you and your OH can agree on a meaning idea, that might make finding a name you like more easy.

I love garage sales! This weekend OH and I found one nearby that had a ton of baby boy clothes. The couple had two little boys and they were moving to Texas, so they were so eager to get rid of their stuff that they just handed us a big box and told us to fill it up with as many clothes/blankets/ect as we could and he'd give it to us for $6. It was such a steal.

Maze, that sounds awful. Would it be possible to get the number blocked but still be able to speak to your SIL when necessary?

My midwife said not to worry about counting kicks until 3rd tri as we're not feeling every single kick right now. Saying that, I'm feeling baby every day but not the same time every day.

Thanks everyone, unfortunately just to block his number it would cost us extra $ a month for the service. I may just have to unplug my phone at night if it continues to be a problem. I sent him a pretty nasty message on facebook though, so hopefully he gets the point.

 

[lady1985]

Thanks for all the congrats! Yes, I am happy we found out. It is funny because I did not have a gut feeling on the gender this whole time, but one look at his face on the screen and I thought "oh its a boy." haha- no idea why.

We were the same!! With the 3D he skip looks like a boy!

 

[angel2010]

Maze, I am sorry you had to deal with that and I am sorry you can't block him. Hopefully after your message he got the hint!

I feel kicks and rolls every day and kicks several times. I haven't felt it from the outside. Each time I put my hand down there when the baby is moving, he/she stops.

As for names, we are undecided on a boys name, but I like Lucas Alexander. For a girl we have chose Kinsley Monroe.

Hello Ladies,
Congratulations on all the 20 week scans, can't believe we are halfway there already!!!!
Maze could you update me on the front page to team pink although we are having a private scan just to double check
So excited, was kinda thinking it maybe a boy but was really hoping my instinct was right as I've always hated not having a sister so really excited for my daughter and marshmallow now.

Congrats on the girl lost!

Excuse me while I bitch and moan.

Last night was horrible. I can't sleep anymore. My back and ribs are constantly killing me. My acid reflux burns from my throat to my freakin' eyeballs. I ended up throwing up at 4:30 this morning. I was tossing and turning for 8 hours. I can't just roll anymore. I have to flail and torque my whole body around. It's been like this for a few weeks now, but last night was the worst. I was in bed for almost 12 hours and I am lucky if I can consider 2 or 3 of that sleep.

Marin better be a freakin' angel, or I'm sending her back!

Congrats on the girl Lost!

Girlnboots, I am sorry you had such a bad night. I have started sleeping badly myself. I hate that you had to post this, but I am kind of glad you did because I too have been having trouble rolling over and thought that I was being ridiculous being only halfway gone. I am glad I am not the only one! I am sorry though. Hopefully tonight is better!

 

[Jaymelynn]

I have been feeling "flutters" for about 3-4 weeks. The past week or two I started feeling harder kicks, but I still go days without feeling anything. Things have been quiet and I have been really worried. Then a few minutes ago I felt three hard kicks and when I looked I actually saw a kick from the outside. This is my first- so I am shocked and excited to see that!

You need to get yourself a u-shaped body pillow, they are the most amazing things and you can sleep so well with them, by placing one of the sides between your knees it lifts soooo much pressure off your joints and hips.

https://bestmaternitypillow.com/mat...co-back-n-belly-contoured-body-pillow-review/ <- this is the one I own.

 

[goddess25]

I am not sleeping well either. My alarm goes off at 5.50am evety day but awake from about 4.30 most days. I have a body pillow might drag it out for a try.

 

[girlnboots]

I have a body pillow on one side and I use my slender OH on the other, haha. I took a zantac and threw it up 10 minutes later, but I finally slept after I got sick for a few hours til my dog started barking like crazy. I'm feeling better after I ate lunch and took a power nap. But last night was just awful.

 

[Maze]

See, one-sided pillows don't do it for me. There is something about the contour of the u-shaped pillow that really makes the difference in my case, plus you can switch which side you're laying on without having to adjust anything.

That may be just me though, but I remember in that J-lo movie 'the backup plan' they feature her character's complete dependency on her u-pillow and I just sat there and nodded my head the entire time.

 

[goddess25]

Really looking forward to digging my pillow out and using it tonight...

I remember that scene in the J-Lo movie LOL..I was much the same.

 

[lady1985]

I'm feeling kicks everytime I lay down either after lunch or in the evening, maybe 4 or 5 then nothing. I saw some kicks from the outside day before yesterday which was fun!

Dh doesn't have the patience to sit a feel for bub...oh well his loss LOL

 

[PaiytonsMummy]

I've had to start using pillows in bed too now, and my heartburn is slowly starting to edge its way in at night.
I'm feeling really good kicks over last few days. Was quite surprised because it seems so early. Its almost the same time every night, even hubby has been able to feel.
I have my scan a week on Monday, and i'm still in two minds whether to find out the sex. I think i'm the last to have my scan of the group lol.

 

[Junebugs]

I dont have my scan until Tuesday so your not the last hun ... lol Do you have a feeling of what your having?

I have been feeling bubs from the outside for a week or 2 now. DH felt it the other night.
