November 2013 Babies!

[berniegroves]

Rockin - I hate the heat at the moment! England is having a heatwave, highest temps since 2006 so we are just not equipped for it. I am exhausted as finding it hard to
Sleep and DD is also having trouble getting to sleep. We've been stuck in the house a lot because she gets sooo hot and I'm going a little stir crazy!!

Want - hope you're having a great time. Respect to you for hiking all day! There is no way I would manage it! Lol!!

Mama - sorry your appointment got moved. But just think that extra time will give your babies a chance to grow a bit more so it will be even more exciting at the end of the month.

Only times I've been constipated was after travelling for 22 goes over here and it SUCKED! I'm a big veggie and fruit eater and the Croatian diet consists of meat and bread which is pretty rough on the gut. We have two days left and are visiting the old city of Dubrovnik and going kayaking today. I'm going to post a belly pic early Because I probably won't get to tomorrow and we are 6 hours ahead of my normal time zone... It's already noon on Saturday here!
Sorry it's sideways!
Hope everyone is well!

Want - nice bump pic! so what other foods do Croatians eat? Is it close to Russian food/dishes? I'm a food addict and love trying other ethnic dishes.

It's been over 100 degrees F hot over where I live. I'm sure mama.luv can vouch for that since we both live in southern Cal, huh? Lol. Because if the sweating from the extreme heat, I've gotten itchy again down yonder, grrr...very, very uncomfortable!

Anyway, today, we're going to a friend's kid's 1yo birthday party. It's supposed to be cooler today so that's good. Anyway, stay cool everyone. It is breakfast time, I'm hungry! Tty ladies later.

Love the bump wantb!!!!!!!!!

We pretty much have farting contests...lol...and dutch ovens have surfaced in our relationship lol.

We are pretty care free

Yes @alchemist it has been hot out here. But luckily I work 8-5 during the week, so I was in a super cold office and didn't really feel the heat outside. @Want you are really starting to pop out now, wow. It seems like you guys are having a great time out there. And you are like superwoman, being able to hike and kayak during your pregnancy. My lazy butt barely wants to walk to the kitchen in my house Enjoy your last two days out there. @MissJenn, you had me laughing about the dutch oven, that is so funny. Surprisingly my gas hasn't been so bad this week. Hope you guys have a good day. I'm going to get a mani/pedi and maybe a foot massage. Then tomorrow I will probably get some grocery shopping and cooking in.

Oh I forget to tell you guys..Since my anatomy scan was cancelled, I was so set on getting an ultrasound yesterday. So I called the private ultrasound place I went to at 14wks and basically told them that I went there at 14wks and was told I was having 2 girls but my Doc confirmed that one twin was a boy. I was hoping they would say that I can come back for half off. But since they made a mistake, they gave me a free ultrasound, & luckily they had an appt last night so we went. I was able to see my babies being active, and got pics of my boy's potty shot. The tech didn't really focus on looking at the faces, she was more focused on verifying the genders, which was fine with me. I can't complain cause it was free. It was a great way to end my work week

 

[mama.luv]

Definitely a boy

I live in Southern Cali as well and it has been very hot. I escape it by having the room AC on at all times. I put it at 71 because I like the cold. OH doesn't understand my need to have the AC on and a blanket on at the same time though. Sure it's silly, but that's how I like it.

My gas has been pretty bad. I used to be able to hold it and wait till OH was away, but now I can't. He just laughs because they are silent, but deadly these days. He has always passed gas anywhere and everywhere, the most embarrassing is in the middle of a store. I'm always like, 'really?' He just laughs. I'm married to an overgrown child, lol. But recently his are making me gag and he finds it HILARIOUS.

Want, I am glad you are having a good time in Croatia. Your bump is really starting to pop and is so cute.

Mama, There's no denying that as a boy part, lol. congrats on confirmation.


Well I've started being able to eat better. I was only able to eat sandwiches, fried chicken, and other nasty stuff not good for me and baby. I have been able to change it to where I have a bowl of life cinnamon cereal or an omelet (with havarti, avocado, onion, and bell pepper), then have snacks and some kind of meat with veggies for dinner. It has helped a lot that OH has taken over the cooking duties. So I can relax and just eat what he gives me. Though I have been eating far too many graham crackers with milk. I should ask him to cut up fruit so I can snack on those instead.

Ok question for you guys. I was stalking the second trimester section the other day and there was this thread about babies being breeched during the second trimester. I don't know why that question was even posted because babies are constantly moving and flipping around. And there were a lot of women on that thread worried about that. I'm thinking we should be worried more about that when we are about 30wks or further. What do you guys think?

 

[luna_19]

baby is constantly changing positions throughout the second tri. From what I understand generally it's not a concern until around 34 weeks though it might be earlier with twins.

want your bump is adorable

I popped into Old Navy yesterday to have a peek and all of their maternity stuff was on sale for 25% off! It was slim pickings since they are clearing out the summer stuff but I did find a great dress

 

[wantb502]

Sorry the heat has been so oppressive there. I hear KY has been horrible too. It was nasty hot here in Croatia today but the kayaking cooled us down great.

Mama: so glad you got you US!!! There is NO doubt about it... That is definitely a BOY!!!

Alchemist: I don't think it matters where there are now... There is still quite a bit of room for LO to move around and change positions. I know my little guy is a wiggle worm and it constantly moving and repositioning. He's been most breech but I'm really hoping he decides to end up head down. I really would love to avoid a c section.

 

[luna_19]

24 weeks


wantb how can you tell which way baby is? I most often feel kicking on either side so I'm guess baby is either transverse or scrunched to one side all the time but who knows

 

[Rockinmomtobe]

Hey ladies. I haven't thought too much about position. I don't think I could tell. I feel kicks ALL over place. I'm not worried about it.

OH took me out for dinner for my birthday. Here's my Sunday Bump Day shot! It's also the only maternity shirt I have lol.

Want your bump is really popping! You look great!

Mama so glad you got another scan!

Hope everyone's weekend was great!

 

[mama.luv]

Luna, you are popping out too and I see you still have the belly ring in. I had to take mine out because it started feeling so tight. @Rockin I wouldn't worry about buying only one maternity top. I only bought some because I needed them for work.

Here is my bump pic I just took. I think I still look the same, maybe I will pop out more at 24wks.

 

[The Alchemist]

Nice bumps, ladies! Don't think mine has changed much either. Although it IS bigger at this point compared to last pregnancy. Crazy how different my pregnancy is from last.

My weekend was pretty busy and tiring. In the next couple of days, I gotta pack up for our trip to San Francisco. We booked a hotel right by the Marina. Plus, it'll be SO much cooler over there. Can't wait! Hope you ladies enjoyed your weekend!

 

[Rockinmomtobe]

All your bumps look great!! Mama your dress looks soooo comfy. I tried some dresses on this weekend for a wedding we have coming up on 2 weeks and I just hate them! All the weight Ive gained has gone to my legs, so I have saddle bags at my knees. ITS SO GROSS. No one needs to see that. So I think Ill be wearing pants. Do you guys think thats ok? I hope so lol.

So, I know Ive mentioned sleeping before....but Im just having a terrible time at night. Ive got the body pillow, it seems to help, but I toss and turn ALL NIGHT LONG. Im exhausted throughout the day. I wake up a few times anight to use the bathroom, but thats happened since the beginning, but just in the last week or two I cant seem to sleep very well.

Do you think its just me adjusting to my growing belly? I have a feeling its only going to get worse Any tips or suggestions would be nice.

Also....I hate mondays

 

[The Alchemist]

Rockin - as far as I remember with my first, there came a point where I was not comfortable and all I did all night, near 3rd trimester, was toss and turn. Laying on one side for too long caused my hip to hurt too. I would sleep with a pillow between legs, a very small n soft one underneath my bump, and one plush pillow behind my back for back support. I do think it's because of the bump growing. Sleep at night gets uncomfortable....ohand i hates Monday too, I dunno why. I don't even work on Mondays lol. I think Mondays are meant to hate on lol.

Last night, I slept in the living room. OH got cold and didn't want the ceiling fan on. I'm hot, being pregnant and all and it's summer too. So I slept out where it's cooler.

Hope you all have agreat day.

 

[luna_19]

I have always slept kind of half on my side and half on my stomach with a body pillow and am still finding it super comfy though I do need to get up to pee every two hours or so

Rockinmom I've heard some people have more luck sitting up with a bunch of pillows in bed or on a recliner so they don't have to be on their side.

 

[missjenn]

Does anyone have days where they have more movement than others? I've had less the last couple of days and of course this worries me. :s
