Good morning/afternoon ladies!
Laura - Good luck at your scan tomorrow... I bet you're super excited! When I'm only a day until my scan, I think I will be freaking out!
And for my midwife appointment on Tuesday, I had a new midwife filling in... and she kind of gave me heck for wanting to find out the gender! (My regular midwife would never say such a thing!) Isn't it annoying? She said "you don't want to wait to have the surprise?".... I mean, good for you ladies who CAN wait but I don't agree with the reasoning at ALL that I should wait to have the surprise! I found out with my daughter and it was JUST as much of a surprise when she was born to finally see what she looked like! I am the type of person who likes to be prepared. By finding out, I can buy clothes, paint the nursery, get bedding... I'm not a fan of all yellow and white outfits! Just tell people to mind their own business!
sorry, that was my rant for the day...
I can't believe you ladies are talking about the third trimester already! Im only 18 weeks today!
This is what sucks about me being due at the end of the month! Oh well... like I said before, when the time comes I will just cheat and move over to third trimester with you guys!
And don't be afraid of 3rd tri... I LOVED the 3rd tri! I mean I know it sucks at times because you're so big but its so amazing too, to know that your baby is SO close to being born... and IF they're born early in the 3rd tri, they will have a great chance at surviving... and the movements are AMAZING! Even having those little feet in your ribs, I never minded it one bit!
It's amazing to be able to feel little feet, and their bum, etc by just feeling around. Sure, it CAN be uncomfortable but it depends how you look at it. Afterall, there's a baby in there! I can't wait until I'm 30+ weeks again!
So I have been feeling lots of little kicks again today, pretty low down. I can't wait until I can feel them from the outside. I can feel them if I push down on my tummy and even then it's sooo light... but I want to be able to feel them just by resting my hand on my tummy. Last time I could feel them around 21 weeks right around my belly button... so it shouldn't be TOO long now!
So how is everyone doing today? Tomorrow is Friday and I can't wait!!! After this weekend, it's only a week until my scan!!!
