Wow, I miss so much in just a day!!!
Akblaze I'm so happy you have a date for DH coming home. May 8, that's hardly any time at all! It's also the date of my 20 week scan so we're both counting down the days to May 8! And how amazing that he should be back in time for your anniversary. I must say, your timing for everything seems to have worked out perfectly - you fell pregnant just before he went away and now he'll be coming back to celebrate your first anniversary (which will be even more super special as it won't just be the two of you
). I'm so excited for you, I really am
And I just LOVE the finger paint idea. Roll on the 8th so I can see this belly!!!
That's weird you've now got a rash, I would definitely tell your OB but I reckon you're right, it's probably eczema. Gosh, if it's not me catching your symptoms then it's you catching mine.
We really are quite a pair!!!
That's so cute that you've had Chloe since you were 13, no wonder you're both so close! I can completely understand why she's being so protective of you.
As for thinking you saw a bit of your plug, I would definitely mention that to your OB. I, too, have read that it can be totally normal but you should just watch that you're not overdoing it. You're working out for two remember! Back to my pregnancy motto, 'tell the experts everything and let them advise you.'
I'm pretty sure I've been feeling baby moving again. It's quite low down and only occasionally, but it feels more like proper little kicks. Am I too early to feel that?! I think that midwife has got me paranoid that everything I feel must be wind. Oh well, maybe it is...
Well, this is my super-duper working weekend so won't be around for the next couple of days. But just you make sure to take it easy and look after your gorgeous little girl. Give her a big belly hug from me
Kellie, I'm so glad you saw your LO dancing around. It's so incredible to see! Although I'm sorry you had such a scare beforehand. I've started telling more people that I'm pregnant and I've been completely surprised by how many people told me they bled in early pregnancy and went on to have happy, health LOs. Why do people not talk about this kind of thing more? It's no wonder we all freak out at the sight of blood! But I'm glad you had such a wonderful scan to let you know that the bleeding is not affecting LO one little bit - sounds like you have a pretty active LO in there! Take it easy and make sure you relax and take it easy!
Sending you and your lots of

CharlieJo I love the fact that you and OH are deciding on names. We still can't even come up with one that we both even kind of like!!! This poor baby will have to go through life with no name!!!
I like Eli and Noah, they're both really cute names. And I know what you mean about feeling you can't have a name because someone else already has it, but I agree, if you like the name then go for it! That's definitely my view!
Bobbi Elizabeth is so cute! I love the name Bobbi and it's great that you've got at least one name that you both agree on!
As for working too much! Tell me about it! I never seem to stop these days. Everyone keeps telling me I'll be shattered when the baby arrives - I'm like, I'm shattered now!!! Oh well, I get next weekend off which is good. Roll on next week!
And I can't believe your going to find out the sex in a few short weeks. You must be so excited! The 29th May will be here before you know it. And at least it will make the name choosing a little easier!!!
Hope you managed to get through your first hassle-free Wednesday and that LO was on his/her best behaviour! Sending you and your LO lots of
and
Bean OMG, how absolutely wonderful to hear from you. And with such fantastic news!!! I am so, so happy for you and just know this is it for you!
And I'm so glad that you are the only lady on this thread not here because of the dreaded spotting! I can't believe I missed your BFP. I've been so busy lately that I've had no time to catch up on all of my threads. And I knew I couldn't come back to the thread without catching up on a LOT of reading! Then each day passed and I seemed to have even less time! I'll definitely be stopping by to see you all really soon (if I ever get five minutes away from work!).
Thanks so much for the rash advice. Thankfully, my rash seems to be disappearing. It's still there, but only just. How have you been feeling? Any symptoms yet? I don't think I started getting morning sickness until about 6 and a half weeks. Hopefully you'll be one of the lucky ones and will just miss that part out!
I'm so glad you stopped by. I've been missing all my B-complex ladies! Have you been to the doctor yet? Do you have an appointment with the midwife? You and your DH must be so, so, over-the-moon happy. A little Christmas baby
You really deserve this and I just know this will be your forever bean.
Hope to hear from you really, really soon. And just remember to take it easy and let your DH look after you! Sending you and your amazing LO lots and lots and lots of
Horseypants great to hear from you again! So sorry the spotting has started again but try not to worry. I'm so glad you saw a heartbeat, it makes you feel so much more at ease and lets you know that LO is doing just fine. Just remember to take it easy and don't try to do too much. And my GP said no exercise while your spotting, so just make sure you're relaxing as much as possible. I know the spotting is scary but it's so much more common than we all think.
And I take it you've just recently got engaged? That's wonderful news, I'm so very happy for you both.
Sending you and your LO lots of
and
