Welcome back Jamie.

Awesome ultrasound pics MissJenn.

TMI question inc: Anyone start leaking colostrum yet? I started 3 days ago, just clear liquid, and my chest and nipples hurt so much today. I kept waking up due to the position I was in causing super nipple pain. Ouch!!

 

[missjenn]

Mama - omg tel me about it. It's not just the typos. I can't even talk right in real life. I mash up my words or I say the wrong words in a sentence. It's horrible, especially when speaking to the boss at work.

Missjenn - how awesome! Seeing everybody's scans make me feel like I can't wait for my scan next Wednesday.

And here is a small update on my 17w bump if you can call it that. OH said this bump looks different than the first time. Sorry, there's my dd in the background lol.

Cute bump! Cute Daughter! Cute dress!

Nope, not yet anyway! I'm surprised...because my boobs are massive and extremely uncomfortable!

Whittnie - nope, no colostrum. I thought I would have it due to the fact that I've been pregnant before. My nipples aren't painful like the way you described yours. But they are sensitive and really taut, more than last time. And my boobs grew slightly larger than the first time too, but it's still a B. Boo...lol.

No leaking for me yet either.

I went for a prenatal massage yesterday and couldn't even lay down flat. She propped my shoulders up so I didn't have to lay directly on my boobs! I was always told that your boobs stop hurting in 2nd tri.... Not here! They are still growing and I wake every morning in horrible pain (even wear a bra at night). I'm busting out of my 34DDDs already (mainly my left boob). My nips don't hurt but my breast tissue everywhere else hurts!

Wantb - ohhhh! Prenatal massage! I've had those and I'm planning in getting it again this time. I have a usual and favorite massage parlor. 50 bucks for a while hour of relaxation. Ahhh...glad you mentioned massage. I gotta make an appointment with them and with my favorite masseuse.

Yay for all the scan pictures!!! So cute!!

Boo for the peeing when you sneeze!! I had this happen twice when pregnant with DD. it hasn't happened since because after pregnancy the pressure is removed. But now in pregnant again it's a nightmare! I have hayfever and am sneezing all the time and have to clench super tight to not pee at the same time!!!

Whit - I also have super sore nipples! Ouch! Not leaking any colostrum though.

Feel really rough at the moment as have hayfever and a cold. Hoping the scan on Monday cheers me up a bit!

Missjenn - you look fab in that dress!!

Girls, I finally got to pickup the pics from our 20 weeks ultra sound!!!!

Your pictures are so precious! I love the perfect profile pic and pics of the feet!! I love staring at my baby photos. I've even made one my background on my phone so I see everytime I go to use it...which is constantly

 

[missjenn]

Thanks girls!

What are maxi dresses anyway? You guys have mentioned them a few times now.

My boobs are super large...hurts to sleep on them and when I take my bra off...they instantly hurt even more! No issues with nipples but like wantb the tissue is sore...I can't imagine what these puppies are going to be like when the milk comes in...omg!!!

I go for another ultra sound on Tuesday so they can get a picture from the heart at all angles. The baby wouldn't lay on his back during the last one so back we go...I'm totally fine with it though...I love the idea of seeing him again!

Yay for being odd and stuff happening early to me in all aspects, lol.

Maxi dresses are full length dresses that kinda are tighter at the top but flowy as it goes down. Very comfy, I need to find me some.

Missjenn - maxi dresses are long dresses basically. I have similar dress like the red one but mine is fuschia. I wore it for my first baby shower.

I found old pics of me at my baby shower the first time. That's the fuschia maxi dress I had worn.

This was my 7 or 8 months bump when I was pregnant with Zoey. Wonder if my bump will look like that or different? OH said my bump doesn't look like the first.

What a cute bump! I hope mine looks like that!

 

[missjenn]

ME too! Wow, you are a beautiful pregnant woman!!!!!!!

I need to get me some of these dresses!

OK, so I was talking about strollers with one of my mommy friends who advised that a "good stroller" is $500! She also said I would need TWO (count them) TWO strollers...a foldable one for outings (mall, festivals, etc.), and a more durable and agile lightweight one for jogging/workouts. WTF, is this for real? I definitely plan to go jogging with my baby, but do I really need TWO strollers? And is a good one really $500?! Bear in mind, I have seen some jacked up strollers and want something durable and easy to push.

 

[missjenn]

I bought this one at a yard sale a couple weeks ago. It's the Graco Travel stroller system set. Three pieces, stroller...baby seat...and the snap in for the car seat....its frigin awesome! I got it for 100.00. brand new they are 350.00 plus taxes. And it doesn't expire for two more years. We will also grab a 25.00 fold up one to take out of province with us.

This was me at my 20 week gender scan waiting to see my son! My tattoo used to be down at my pelvic bone!

cute pics everyone!

I don't believe that you need to spend $500+ for a proper stroller, sure the really expensive ones may have some extra features but you can get a decent travel system (so stroller and car seat) for around $300. The one thing I learned recently though is that not all strollers can lay the seat down flat, if they don't you can't use the actual seat until baby can sit up! So we will definitely make sure to get one that lays flat...also I must have a cup holder for my coffee

oh and I have 1 adorable black and white striped maxi dress, I haven't tried it on recently but I feel like my boobs are way too big for it, before I could only wear it with one bra that didn't stick out the sides and now all my bras are way bigger (and I'm popping out of them anyways!)

Does anyone else have a belly button ring? Mine has been super irritated for the last week or so, not sure if I'm just catching it on everything or what. I switched it to an actual ring to see if that will help. I don't feel like I need one of those flexi ones yet since it hasn't stretched or anything but I guess that's the next step if the ring doesn't help.
