Lil' October Pumpkins 2013

[PreggyEggy]

Just thought I'd pop in and say hi! I haven't been around here in ages.

I had my 20 week scan last week, and I'm having a boy!

Anyone else on their second (or more) and finding it flying by? It seemed to drag on and on with my DD but this time it's like blink and you'll miss it!

 

[Junebugs]

Hey Preggy!!!! Congrats on your little boy!!!!!! I am on my 2nd and i seriously can not believe how fast this pregnancy is going by!

PaiytonsMummy- I hope everything went well with your scan today!!!

 

[tx614]

Can't wait to find out, angel2010!

Happy half-way point, Murmurs!

I haven't had any cramps, but round ligament and growing pains have been pretty awful.

I felt Liam move from the outside this morning while I was laying in bed. I just barely felt it, but still, it happened!

YAY! Congrats mama otter! I swear I could feel her from the outside this morning, but then I asked DH to put his hand on and alas he felt nothing. Soon I hope I will feel them for real so DH can feel her too.

 

[ptr]

Yep this 2nd pregnancy is flying by for me too! Congrats on your boy!

 

[broodymrs]

Congrats on your boy preggy! It is going fast for me but not fast enough! I'm on my first tho.

 

[KalonKiki]

Congrats on your boy, Preggy! He'll certainly be a change from your DD, but boys are lots of fun. You'll have the best of both worlds.

Thanks for the congrats everyone! DF is so excited that he can finally feel it when Liam kicks now.

 

[goddess25]

Congrats preggy.. this is my 3rd and it is going really fast.

Thanks.

 

[PreggyEggy]

Thanks everyone I am super excited to be having a boy!

Kalonkiki, being able to feel kicks must be really cool for your DH! I bet he's thrilled.

 

[goddess25]

I am super worried. Both kids have german measles right now. Just hoping I don't get it as its super dangerous for the baby. I am immune according to a blood test so hopefully thats true.

 

[ptr]

oh no, goddess - if you're immune then hopefully the baby is immune since it's sharing your blood and natural antibodies?

 

[Junebugs]

Oh no!!! That is scary!!! If you are immune thou you should be ok.....

 

[goddess25]

I hope so.

Thanks girls.

 

[angel2010]

Oh, that is scary goddess, but I think the other girls are right.

 

[babyluv2012]

Hi everyone,

Is it just me or are you all more "aware" of your beating heart? I can feel it beating in my chest. My BPM is normal as well as blood pressure. I can even feel my pulse in my lower abdomen.

It just kinda freaks me out and wondering if anyone else can feel theirs?

 

[angel2010]

I am certainly more aware and when I try to look at me belly to see movement, I see my belly pulsing with my heartbeat. A bit distracting!

 

[babyluv2012]

Ok, I'm so glad I'm not alone. I mean I know that my heart is pumping alot more blood, but its a little unnerving.

I did tell my doc already and he said it can be normal, but he will check me out at my next appointment, which isn't until the 14th.

 

[KalonKiki]

I'm sure it'll be okay if you're immune, goddess25. I don't think that it can affect baby unless you get it, but if you have an immunity to it then it shouldn't be possible for you to contract it.

I haven't been more aware of my heart beating, but that's because a lot of the time I can barely even feel my heart if I put my hand on my chest to feel for it. I have been more aware of my breathing though.

 

[ptr]

my dh complains that my heart gets into the way of him trying to feel the baby kicking cuz all he can feel is the pulse

 

[girlnboots]

Yup. My belly pulses so much now too. Soon enough our babies will be strong enough that we won't even notice it while they kick! My OH finally saw movement last night, so that was exciting. I love watching my belly

How's everyone's nursery planning coming?

 

[KalonKiki]

Ugh, nursery planning has been a disaster, but that's because we have to reorganize our entire apartment just to be able to do the nursery. We have a lot of stuff in there because it used to be our study and we need to get it all out.
