Foxy that's a beautiful bump. :) I do feel for you in the heat. I'm hot most of the time as it is and the warmest it's been lately is 10oC! I do hope it doesn't get snowy or icy though.

What are you ladies all up to today?

We've got lunch with my best friend from school and her husband at Bluewater. And a bit of shopping too of course so I'm looking forward to a nice day. Then we're taking the decorations down tonight.

And I'm 22 weeks today! Can't believe it. :)
 
Have a good lunch Cupcake. I wanted to go to Lakeside as Kiddicare have opened a new flagship store there, but don't think DH is up for it. Taking decks down too, next time I see them our princess will be seven months...eeeek!
 
Ooooh. Thanks for letting me know about Kiddicare!! I think I'll drag DH there next month!
 
I just saw my tummy move!!! Heehee!!!

Poor DH is in the bath so missed it. :( He thinks he might have felt her this morning but she just hasn't done any big kicks while he's had his hand there. I feel really sorry for him as he's so excited.
 
It's weird isn't it, seen mine move a few times since weds, love it!
 
It's been the same for my poor hubby, as soon as he puts his hand on my belly little miss goes quiet then the second he moves she goes crazy!! He thinks he has felt a few movements but not sure. It doesn't help that I have an anterior placenta.

For me today is almost over (it's 10pm Saturday here) so we are vegging on the lounge under the air con.
 
I feel for you and the heat Foxy, which state are you in? I spent a christmas in Perth and almost died, and that was without a hot bump :haha: We have -10c today, so i've got it good :)

Hann I have a duvet and am contemplating a pillow, they do both from birth here, although feels a bit weird to me, i'm going to talk to my midwife about it next time I see her and see what she says about the exact recommendations for both, i'm thinking I will use a blanket at first and see just how wiggly of a sleeper he is, to see how comfortable I feel about using either or :) Our house is warmed by the furnace and when the temperature gets up higher, we stop using it and turn the heating back on for a little heat when we need it, and i'm just thinking if he comes early may then it can still get quite chilly at nights, otherwise I won't use the duvet till next winter when he's about 6 months :)
 
Morning ladies!

Sorry I've not posted for what seems like forever...what with christmas, new year, a hubby in the army, it's been so hectic!! Finally got a couple of minutes to sit down before it's rush hour again (Finally going to get my hair cut into something a little more manageable and "mumsy"!) so thought I'd check in!

I'm 23 weeks today (YAY!) and I'm finally getting a proper little bump that's there all the time! I always thought I'd be huge by now, but it's pretty petite...the only thing that's ever been petite on me for sure! lmao! Doctor did say though at my appointment this week whilst feeling my belly "He's certainly not a small one is he?!" EEK!

When it seemed like all I was doing was worry that I wasn't feeling my boy moving very much, in what felt like overnight my flutters turned to fully fledged kicks! They are such a weird feeling, but now I love them! My DH can feel them pretty easily now, and we sit and laugh most evenings watching my little Jenson kicking away and making my tummy wobble!

Still got morning sickness, which is pretty pants, but I've resigned myself to the fact that this is probably going to stick around all pregnancy...I've started getting the all-day nausea back too if I'm having a bad day so it's not fantastic!

I noticed someone wrote about getting stitch-like pains if they walk too much...I get them too! I feel like an old lady walking along, then suddenly having to walk like a snail because I get the worst stitch across my tummy!

Nursery is looking good too!! I'll post piccies next weekend when it's all finished!

I'm so excited that we're all moving so fast, and there are some LOVELY bumps (jtink and foxy to name a couple, I HAVE been stalking!!)

Hope you're all well, and hopefully I can check in more regularly again now!xxxx

Wow I just missed like 6 pages in what feels like overnight lol!

Love all the bump shots, you all look great!

Jules - the mattress looks good! We actually had a pillow and still do for DD (shocking I know!) but it's one that's for babies and tested and used all the time in Sweden where they have very low cot death rates. You have to position them properly but it stops flat head syndrome.

Oo do you have a link for it? I have slept for years on a ripple foam mattress topper and was even thinking at one point about getting a bit of that for the cot. Honestly they're so hard it must be like sleeping on the floor for the baby! Guess a pillow too could be put under the mattress protector and fitted sheet if someone was really worried about suffocation etc. I know its not the cot death advice but babies often look uncomfortable with their heads pressed to their chins from laying on something hard and flat, a bit of contouring around the head and neck seems to make sense to me x
 
Jules I've been looking them too. Think it's these?

urghh i feel for you in the Heat... Both my boys i was pregnant through the summer months and it was just horrendous! ankles and feet would swell up like balloons, so i had to constantly put them up..

Im glad this time im pregnant over the winter and will be breastfeeding in the summer, so then i can have strappy tops on, which im sure will be easier to help with breastfeeding...

Thats the only concern i have, what to wear on my top half for breastfeeding :/ think me needs to do some research lol
 
I second the amazon suggestion. I'll also add that you can view other people's registries to get ideas or view the top 100 registry items. They are full of great ideas.
I got all of my crib bedding second had on eBay. It's just like new but cost half the price. I got a free bassinet from a neighbor and a free infant car seat from doing a research study at the hospital. Always good to keep an eye out for used and free.
JTink - you look and sound just like me. I've gone from a b to a d and gained 25 lbs. I feel like a whale but everyone keeps saying how lovely I look and how I'm smaller than they would expect me to be. Thank goodness - otherwise I'd be hating on my body way more than I already am. I think it's just weird being a first timer and losing control of your size.
That's all girl Kezz! 100%!

I was wondering if that was it too Lady H!

Sorry for the delay in reply yes this is it! I have the small one and the bigger one and have had no issues with it and DD has slept a lot better with it. Would def recommend it!
 
hubby still hasn't felt baby either its like right when he goes to than baby stops moving lol. Heat is the worst when your pregnant its been freezing here in BC but when I had my son I was 7 months pregnant in summer and we had a heat wave that year that broke records I was like you have got to be kidding me haha hence why we planned baby over the winter this time I couldn't do that again
 
holy hormone spike I have been so emotional lately my hubby made me tea last night and I cried because he poured some of it out to make room for honey I was just bawling yet laughing at the fact I couldnt stop crying lol. Have been having issues sleeping again so going to have to get some gravol I have less patience with my toddler on less sleep and thats not fair to him.
 
pinktiara im really emotional lately... I think its just a boat load of things all coming together at once and certainly doesnt help when pregnant with hormones everywhere Bluerghhhh :(
 
i know what you mean, my emotions are all over the place. the other day while we were driving we passed a guy who had had a crash and was standing there on his own. So we stopped to check he was ok and he was and said the police etc were on the way so we carried on driving and i started crying about this stranger who had had a crash (and he was perfectly fine). Crazy-preggo!
 
I cry laughed hysterically a few times during the first tri. Made me feel so odd. but guess who cried over seeing his first Episode of OBEM?! DH! He says he knows now he is going to be a mess in the delivery room. And he never cries. Ever.
