My little man was so active last night (of course while I was trying to sleep haha)! He was giving me some pretty good blows to my right side ribs! Ouch!!! He's getting stronger and stronger... I so can't wait to meet him! I think he's going to be quite the character!

 

[lpjkp]

I haven't had ANY rib kicks at all! Lol im counting myself as lucky so far...hes been head down since 28 weeks though,so im not sure why!x

I don't get rib kicks.

She's head down, but her bum is up in between my two sets of ribs, so I think her legs are sort of over to the side and maybe bent?!

Like maybe in this picture - it'd be pretty hard to kick up - mine all seem to push out to the side - or I feel them down low (which maybe is arms?!)

I'm going to ask at the scan tomorrow.

i don't get rib kicks, either.

i get big kicks on both of my sides. my little guy is head down, too, so i was expecting rib kicks, but none yet.

 

[Hann12]

I get the occasional push into the ribs but more often the kicks or pushes are out to the side. They are really strong now.

 

[lpjkp]

Ohhhhh!!! Good picture! That might explain why im getting some big ass kicks in my side! Only problem is,there's no cushioning there,so I feel really weirder out when his feet and knees scrape across my skin! Lol

Oohhh good luck with your scan tomorrow cupcake!! Is it private or NHS?xxx

 

[Hann12]

Oh yes hope the scan goes well tomorrow cupcake!
You'll be pleased to know you motivated me with the quilt, I've done the front and just got to wash the wadding and sew on the back (its one piece of material so very easy!).

 

[CupcakeBaby]

Ooh can't wait for quilt photos Hann!!

Scan is with BabyBond again. Loved them for our 16 week so really looking forward to it.

Just hope it's not too late on now and that she's feeling cooperative.

Every other scan she's been great so I feel like we're due a super stubborn one! Lol.

 

[Hann12]

You'll get a great scan I'm sure cupcake!

I'll post a pic of the quilt soon

 

[lpjkp]

Oohhhh! Can't wait to see piccies of the scan and the quilt!

I've got to really crack on with jensons blanket,but I chose to crochet it in waves, which is soo time consuming! And with being ill,I haven't had the energy to do it for a few days...i WILL carry on working on it tomorrow!x

 

[Hann12]

I know, it's hard to get motivated at times! I hand stitched the one for DD and really took my time. This one has been machine stitched very quickly! Hopefully it will be nice anyway!

That picture you posted Cupcake is awesome, going to show DH! Totally makes sense how I am feeling him!!

DH was a sweetie today, he surprised me with an hour long prenatal massage!! It was so relaxing and made me feel really good!! But now I am getting a funny pain on my left side, sorta near the lungs. I'm guessing the massage just made everything loose, as she pulled on my neck/legs/arms (which felt amazing). Baby was moving so much during it though, it was quite funny! Dh also was so sweet afterwards when he picked me up, he said he was smelling aromatherapy sprays in the lobby and found one he thinks would be perfect for the birth... so I went over and smelled it and it's SO ME and so relaxing he purchased it for me... It's a mix of lavender, peppermint and rosemary. It's called "Sanctuary" he said he wants our birthing time to be set up like my personal sanctuary, so the name is fitting. He's starting to get so emotional and excited about the birth and baby!! So cute!

it's the thought that counts more than anything Hann,

i really should try to do one, but my sewing skills are well....... ameture is pushing it

 

[pinktiara]

had my 2 hour app with the dietician and nurse today the diet stuff was nothing new to me just healthy eating and watching carbs that up my sugar so that's fine and the glucose monitor didn't hurt at all i didn't even feel it which is a huge relief.

 

[Hann12]

Ttc - that's great about the scent, are you doing hypnobirthing? Well even if you aren't, when you relax spray the scent around so that you associate it with calm. That's what I was taught to do in my hypnobirthing class and it does help. Mine is lavender, I love lavender!

Pink - that's great that the diets pretty simple to follow! I'm sure you and the baby will be fine

 

[TTCBean]

Hann, I wasn't planning on hypnobirthing, but thanks for the advice! I've been spraying the scent when I feel relaxed, so I'm hoping I'll associate the feeling in labour.

 

[Hann12]

It's amazing how much smells can make you feel calm etc so hope it works for you! I have a lovely candle that I light at night but I am pretty sure I can't take a candle into the hospital which is a shame!

Hey ladies.

Back from our scan.

Our lady was being very awkward and is a bit too big for good pictures really But after a few attempts we got some sweet shots of her face. Although her nose is crushed flat so makes it look massive. Lol.

She's growing perfect though and weighs 4lb8 and has beautiful chubby cheeks.

She wouldn't keep her hands and feet away from her face. But wasn't shy in showing us her parts. Even I could tell she's all girl. Lol.
