March 2013 babies - we all have our beautiful babies :)

I think popped belly buttons are cute! I actually like mine better now it's changed, hopefully it stays this way after baby's born my belly button before was like a big deep hole but now I can see the bottom!

 

[baby_maybe]

My belly button has never pooped either. I do have a deep inny, so I think that's part of it and it did go almost flush last time, but never actually popped.

I have a very deep belly button, it will be interesting to see what mine does.

My belly button has almost popped, with my daughter it didn't pop till near the end. I kinda like it though as my belly button was really deep from having my daughter

OMG - hormones today are on overdrive. all ive done all day is cry. im currently sat her in tears after a day of tantrums from my little girl to the point i had to take her to bed kicking and screaming. im now sat here thinking she hates me which is completly untrue but i cant stop crying!

 

[rose.]

Oh no Anna ! Sorry you've had such a bad day. Tomorrow can only be better though

I'm feeling lots of kicks this evening! Had a quiet start to the day but since I've eaten dinner he's just not stopped! They seem to be moving back and forth across the bottom of my belly too so I think he's been doing a few somersaults too my husbands got his hand on my belly hoping he will feel it but now he's hiding

Just bought a monkey lampshade from eBay for the nursery, finally found one I liked for the right price this evening!

My belly button looks so funny to me! I've got an innie/outie lol. Mine is normally like a little outie "button", but recessed in like a normal belly button so it's not like it really stuck out. But now it's coming closer to surface. Sounds really strange, but it feels like it's "softened" a *lot*, I joke that it's "given up", but it's actually really cute

AFM: Had my big 20wk anatomy scan and everything went wonderfully. Abigail is *still* a girl! *whew* We'd be happy with either gender but once we found out girl and bought a few things, it was like my big fear that the next ultrasound they'd say boy, lol! She measured in at 20+5 @ 20+6, pretty close to being right on track. Estimated weight was a bit over 14oz. She was just lovely...
She's breech right now, but it's still way early, so that's what I'd expect. She was extremely active, bouncing and squirming all around, it was so cute. I'll see about editing a pic into this post when I get home.

COngratulations on the scan baby bray, glad to hear shes still what you were expecting

I feel like I've really popped this week... 22 week tomorrow bump

cute bump rose!

 

[baby_bray]

Adorable bump rose! You look so teeny! My bump is pretty small and I'll be 21wks tomorrow, but yours actually looks just a bit smaller than mine right now.

 

[AthenaPlusOne]

I still haven't felt any movements I know he's jumping around in there, because the ultrasound tech can never get great measurements due to his unwillingness to chill out for a second...but still just can't feel it! I'll be happy when I can start feeling him--just for reassurance!

 

[anna1986]

Cute bump rose

Athena - im sure it wont be much longer now then youll be wishing hed stop for a little while. Do u have an AP?

 

[AthenaPlusOne]

Yes! Does that make a difference in feeling movements?

 

[anna1986]

yeah as its at the front the placenta cushions the kicks etc.
i have a AP and started feeling regular movement at 19 weeks but this is my 2nd. im sure it wont be much longer hun x

 

[rose.]

Thanks girls

Woohoo I'm a papaya!!

 

[baby_maybe]

Such a cute bump rose

Athena - I have AP as well and it's still hit and miss for me when I can feel him. Some days I guess he gets in a position where he's not kicking at the placenta and other days he must be right behind it On those days I get my doppler out for a bit of reassurance

Oh forgot to add. I'm part of a study on progesterone due to having cervical issues and previous premature labours and I went to my appointment for that yesterday. I had to have a fetal fibronectin test which predicts if you have a chance of going into labour in the next two weeks and luckily that was negative I have been given suppositories to use until I'm 34 weeks which are maybe or maybe not progesterone. It's a double blind trial so no one apart from the researchers know which people have the real stuff!

 

[rose.]

That sounds interesting! It's nice to be part of something that could help loads of women in the future

I'm having such a stressful day at work. So much to do and so little time! Luckily I am going to my friends house tonight for an Indian takeaway so I'll have a chance to relax and unwind

 

[baby_maybe]

Ooo I love Indian, have a great time

Hey Ladies - I am back!

We had a great holiday in America and managed to avoid Sandy! We were on the east coast before it hit really sad to see the effects though - I hope anyone who lives there (and their families) and is on here is ok

Big news is that we had our scan today - all measurements ok and... its a girl!!

Very excited. Amazed (and a bit terrified) at how my body is changing and growing - especially over the last 2-3 weeks - and can now feel her move!

Cant believe how lucky we are!!

Right... now I need to go back and try and catch up with all you guys!!! Hope you have not been too chatty - it will take me ages!!
