Waves sorry your photoshoot was hard work, your little girl will probably spend the next few weeks posing all the time now...they know how to play things lol!

Thanks :/ My Mom uploaded a small handful of the pictures so far (I'll share in a few) and I'm a bit bummed over the way she's editing them or the shots she's choosing. She's picked pictures I wasn't smiling in so it looks like I hate my life and hate being pregnant hahaha. I just wish she'd hand over ALL the pictures and let me have my hand at the edits. I know how I want them to look anyway lol. Oh well, her work so I suppose she should be allowed to edit the way she wants. I just wanted to have a nice little cry after the whole day, especially once I saw the pictures she was choosing to share :/ I blame hormones!

Waves – you look amazing – you are all bump and have a super slim frame, I am envious! the shoot sounds like hard work but am sure will have been worth it – hope you not too sore today

Thanks!! I just hope it'll be easy to slim down the belly after this baby. I had a bit left over after my first and I imagine a second child will be harder work to "repair" but we'll see! I just got blessed with good genes. VERY sore today yet I've been bit by the spring cleaning bug. Did a few loads of laundry, vacuumed, dishes... I couldn't stand to look at the mess we let ourselves accumulate :/ I'll share some of the pictures from the shoot soon. My Mom uploaded a few but after work, I'm sure she'll upload the rest.

Had my scan! It took almost an hour and a half to do.
My boy is still head down! and his head is right down in my pelvis she said it was very low so I think he is there to stay.
The girl.....well for the first time we were able to see her face! she was face up and she is so beautiful with the chubbiest little cheeks! The equipment at the hospital must be a lot better because it was so clear almost like a photo and she was so beautiful. I asked if we got copies and they said not for growth scans no which I was really bummed about
She is in a very awkward position though, Not breech, not quite head down, not transverse even the specialist who came in after to double check her position and girl parts (cos they were very swollen and for a sec there we thought the other scan place had the sex wrong!) even he said the position is strange. Shes sort of head down, but facing out and has her body twisted out to the side and across the top, kinda like a rainbow I guess but sideways.
I dunno they couldn't explain it very well and even brought dolls in to show but didn't end up using them cos they couldn't quite work it out. Just said it was 'odd'

Anyways we saw them both breathing! and the best part he is estimated to be 4.9 pounds and she is 5.4 pounds!!
This makes me feel like all the pain and moaning about the pain the past month has been worth it! makes me feel like I had good reason to complain, thats pretty much 10 pounds of baby! and I still have a wee way to go yet.

Holy babies!! Will you stop feeding them the protein shakes already? LOL

 

[zephyr]

Haha I actually have stopped drinking the shakes cos I went off them! So I dont know what on earth is going on?! Maybe its the eggs? actually no its probably the ice cream

 

[wavescrash]

Hahahha I eat ice cream every single night. Love it.

 

[wavescrash]

Alright, I can finally share pictures from the photo shoot. I have 36 saved but won't share them all. If we're FB friends, I've been tagged in them so you can view that way but I'll post a few here for those of you not on my friend's list.

 

[wavescrash]

Some more...

 

[wavescrash]

And the last few I'll share

 

[zephyr]

Love the photos waves! I saw them on facebook earlier and they all look so wonderful! I love the one of the feet So cute. Your daughter is just gorgeous too!

hehe another ice cream fiend I have been trying so hard not to eat too much but its so tasty.

Lol, probably so! My hubby is the ice cream fiend over here. We toured the birth center tonight, it was cool, at least we know where we're going now. And I get a private room this time around? Now there's a concept! Lol.
To explain, I had the other two in a military hospital in Germany. Private rooms were not an option, it sucked butt!

Lovely pics Waves I'm hoping to get some nice one's done once baby is here, be nice to have some of my nephew with him/her aswell.

Today i'm off to get the last bridesmaid dress altered and hopefully order their shoes. I've booked getting my make up and nails done for my wedding now so its getting really exciting!

 

[RBurnett]

waves - your photos are lovely, i keep putting mine of as a want a massive bump for the shoot, should book it in soon.

I think baby may have slightly moved his head down (big hopes). Getting very excited for my scan Monday

Thanks! I wanted to do it around 32-35 weeks and it just depended on when my Mom had a day off work. Running out of time though so I hope we can fit another one in soon! Good luck with booking yours.

Thanks Yeah we're going to be doing a LOT when she's actually here. My first born has a ton of photo shoots from when she was a baby/toddler so this one will follow suit. Plus I'll take a million on my own.

Love the photos waves! I saw them on facebook earlier and they all look so wonderful! I love the one of the feet So cute. Your daughter is just gorgeous too!

Aww thanks. The foot one I like the most I think. That's going to be used somewhere to hang in our apartment for sure Ice cream fiend for sure! We have 4 or 5 cartons of it in the freezer right now on top of some popsicles and we go out for ice cream every few days too hahaha.

We've finally finished her dresser... here's a collage from start to finish Tyler did most of the work but I picked everything out haha.

33 weeks today, only 4 weeks to go until full-term! 49 days until the due date. SO EXCITING. Last night I was feeling some intense pressure down low and started getting a bad lower backache and had some sharp pains in my cervix and along the top of my pubic bone/area. Then laying in bed I got a stabbing pain in my cervix that literally made me jump and cry out loud, nearly made me jump out of bed. Girls in the 3rd tri forum suggested it sounds like she's head down and into position which is exciting and scary.

I know LO can get into position and out of position still but with the cervical pains, I'm paranoid there's some effacement going on or ... something. I'm dying to check myself but I know it's best to wait until I see my doc and she starts checking in 2 weeks but the pain was so crazy, it had to have done something haha. Being my second, I don't know how it all works this time. They say with your second, baby doesn't start engaging until just before labor whereas with your first the baby could be engaged for weeks. Oh well, I guess only time will tell. She's very low still today though!

Oh My GOODNESS!

its 28 degrees outside right now, and Im un-bearably uncomfortable!!! I will never aim to be prenant over the summer!!!

I think im going to get some ice cream or something!

 

[wavescrash]

Yeah, it's 81* outside here (I'm not sure what that is in Celcius) but it's a record-high. We've had 3 or 4 days straight of weather like this. It's been pretty miserable being pregnant in it but with my first, I had her in September so I was pregnant all summer long. It's not fun, that's for sure!

I've missed loads!! I've been busy.... Nice to have a catch up! Front page updated.

I've started washing baby's clothes and stuff and getting them all ready. Got midwife next week, and my scan and my baby shower do its a busy one. I've been nesting really badly and trying to clean everything but got really bad sciatic pain so struggling a bit. Getting excited though! We ordered the chest of drawers and wardrobe last weekend but it won't be delivered for 4 weeks!!! was so annoyed!!! Anyway... It'll all be done before baby is here.

My SIL had her baby boy today. 10 days over due... She had to have an emergency c section. Everyone is fine though.

I must go get dinner on... OH is on his way home.

 

[rjsmam]

[zephyr]

waves - thats so scary! and exciting maybe she will come on time or a little bit earlier then? that would be good cos going over woudl suck if you are already experiencing that pelvic pressure and pains. I hope she doesn't come too early though!

Well last night I thought I was going into labour and panicked a bit! Silly me. I had contractions every 7 - 10 minutes for about an hour and some of them started getting quite painful so I got up and went to the bathroom and then took some pain relief and went to bed to lay down and see if the laying down helped and sure enough it went away Had some more again today like last night but I change what I am doing and it seems to go away again. I keep thinking how on earth am I gunna know cos it really does feel like the start of labour only it stops! Its waaaay to early anyways, I just want to get to 34 35 weeks and then I wont be so panicky about it all.
I hope I still get May babies, 1st of May!! At this rate it aint looking likely though. They are just not allowed to come on the 20th of April
