I had them at 2 dpo, and onwards until bfp!

I've not used it today yet....trying not to but I might have a quick listen before bed x

Yeah it was really strange, came on day before yesterday out of nowhere and was pretty bad! It comes and goes, so I am not too worried about it. Today has been better, though, so that is good! And yes, definitely hoping the haircut helps me feel a bit less frumpy!

I forgot to upload the nursery pics on here! It is about 95% done but I am in no real rush to finish the last bits because she won't even be in there for at least 4 months. I also owe a bump pic that I promised you ladies, so I will have to remember to get that done soon!

Here's Madison's TINY box room!

Cheryl! Back from scan, all good so far! Baby was kicking and waving, was amazing! x

Wow, yay, yay, yay!!! Awesome! I can't wait to see an actual baby on my scan. Don't think it will happen this time, may be too early for that at 8 weeks.

 

[cupcake1981]

Why don't you google 8 week scan images, then you'll know what to expect. It will look baby like but the head and body are about the same size, and you won't see arms or legs yet, just little nubs.

So excited for you. Are you still sick?

 

[ttcbabyisom]

Yes I googled a few weeks ago to see how easy it looked. I feel the little flutters either in line with my belly button or along to the left so it does swim about lol. Did you feel the flutters all the time in the early weeks or just every few days? I guess it will depend on which way he/she is facing at this point as to whether I can feel it x

It's so awesome Cupcake that you are already feeling baby move!!!

 

[cupcake1981]

I think that's what I'm feeling, it's definately in my uterus where I hear the hb on the Doppler, and there wouldn't be intestine gas there would there? So I'm sticking with its baby!

 

[baileybubs]

Well I deffo had bubble-type feeling by 14 weeks cupcake so it's very likely it's your baby!

What's everyone up to tonight? Df has gone to pool again so I'm at home currently watching come done with me.

 

[cupcake1981]

Bailey I came home and my hubs was demolishing our chest of drawers , he's still doing it now, I just got into bed and tried to ignore all the banging, all I wanted was a sleep!

Gonna order some Chinese in a mo I think as we've no food in, then BED!!!!

I hope it is baby, I think cos I've felt the bubbles I might not doppler, don't think baby likes it and don't want to stress it out!

 

[baileybubs]

We are having Chinese tomorrow, apparently we are going to df's chef mates house to have a Chinese with him and his wife, who I've only met once when we bumped into them in town and said hi briefly lol!! But they've got a little boy and are saving up for a mortgage etc so I think he and df have bonded over being in similar situations and want me and his wife to bond too. Should be interesting! Will be nice to have friends who are a couple, we don't have any others coz my closest friends are single (except the one who seems to have disowned me now I'm pregnant).

Make sure you rest up cupcake, and tell dh to stop banging about lol!!

 

[cupcake1981]

I don't really want it tbh, ill ear like 10 mouthfuls and that will be it! But I'm too tired to cook while he's doing the drawers so needs must!

 

[Tawn]

Thanks TTCbabyisom! How you feeling hun? NOT LONG till your scan! So excited for you!

Bailey, YAY for new sofas!!!!! Sorry DF is out again, but maybe you need some quiet time anyway after such a busy day? I have a strong feeling you won't make 40 weeks if you are having this much going on already!!! BTW, the stuff your MIL says is so over the top! Babies cluster feed in the evenings, so I'm sure it would be handy to have meals ready to go when you have no hands for 2 hours cause baby is on the boob! Silly lady!

Cheryl, your room will be gorgeous! I love the blue, it is so bright and happy! Hope you manage to stay awake during your class tonight hun!

Cupcake, I hope I didn't put you off your doppler! I still used it even after that thread scared me, but I just regretted sitting there listening for 5-10 mins glowing over bubba's heartbeat lol. I was VERY excessive!

Cath, symptoms symptoms symptoms! I can't wait for them to keep rolling in!

MrsD, you've been quiet, hope you are feeling OK!!!

Amy, how you feeling today hun? Is Emily settling into a routine?

Everyone else HIIII!

Our class was pretty useless tbh! LOL. I already knew all of it because of research on my own and all the post-birth taking care of baby stuff was also useless because I nannied and worked in nurseries for almost 10 years! But oh well, it is a right of passage I suppose and it did make me feel closer to the finish line!

I am pretty proud of my food progress tonight, I made homemade lasagna tonight and managed to make 2 more spare for the freezer as well as prepping and marinading two chicken dishes and getting them into the freezer all ready to go as well. More to come throughout the week, so hopefully we will be nice and stocked up soon

But now I am absolutely shattered, so I will be getting stepson into the shower and ready for bed and then pretty much crashing myself. So goodnight to all you lovelies and I shall catch up with you again in the morning!

 

[cathgibbs]

Tawn your memory never ceases to amaze me. ..sorry your class was not really useful to you hun. Its amazing what you can find on the net xxx

 

[baileybubs]

Oooh yeah ttc your scan is Wednesday isn't it!? Can't wait!!!

Tawn - yeah MIL does say the daftest things, I've learnt from my SIL that its nothing personal though, she was exactly the same with her when she had her kids so I just let it go over my head!
And after my moaning last week about df working, going to the gym and pool, I'm actually fine with him going tonight coz I'm so shattered and enjoying the peace!! I'm still getting lots of aches, mainly in my back so it's nice to rest.
I'll be happy if she comes anytime from now to be honest, she's 3 days off full term now so as long as she gets here safely, just a waiting game! But after driving a fair distance today to our nearest DFS, I don't think I'm gonna do any more longer drives! I feel like I've done a full days work!

Aw shame that your antenatal wasn't much help to you, but like you said it's a right of passage isn't it? And well done on making so much food!! With all that craftiness for Maddie's room, all the cooking and baking an organising SS's birthday you really are a domestic goddess!! Puts me to shame!

 

[cupcake1981]

Sorry your class wasn't useful Tawn, but it's probably comforting to know you know everything!

You have so much energy I'm so jealous, I'm ruined at the moment!!

You didn't put me off the Doppler, I read some stuff online just night that made be think I should restrict my use as I don't want to stress baby out if indeed it does sound loud in utero. I've used it 4 times at the weekend but once I've found and measured heartrate I'd only keep it on there for no more than a minute. It's just such a magical sound I can't hear it enough!

Bailey is put money on that baby coming early to!

 

[cupcake1981]

Where are those bump pics we keep getting promised!

 

[MrsDuck]

Hi ladies I'm glad you are all well, I've had a busy weekend with hubby so sorry not been on here. Hubby is stranded here due to the snow and the airport at home closed haha

Bump pics, bump pics, bump pics!

 

[baileybubs]

We should do a sweepstake lol, I'm still saying she will be born either over Easter weekend or I will end up being overdue and have to be induced lol.

Ok ladies, please excuse the pjs and rubbish photo but this was me on Friday

[cupcake1981]

Wow bailey! Lovely bump and not a single stretch mark!

I think she'll be here by 25th x

 

[baileybubs]

I know, me and my mum are proof of the whole genetic thing coz she never got stretch marks either, and I havent exactly made sure I used anything regularly to prevent them either (I had some cream and good intentions lol).

Ooh 25th, so thats 2 weeks today you are going for cupcake lol!

Its weird because I keep thinking surely I will know when its the beginning of labour but when I get these cramps I am unsure whether they are BH or actual contractions or what?? But for the moment I only get them for about half an hour at a time with them being on and off.

 

[baileybubs]

I've just noticed that you can see evil-eyed Bailey behind me in the bump pic lol
