My little one had hiccups at 4.30 this morning! Such a strange feeling!

Haha. I thought it was cute the first few times now they are kind of annoying as if I'm the one who has them Makes me happy though because hiccups are a good sign!

That was my thoughts exactly! Mines been getting them nightly, usually right around the same time.

Newlywed, I was wondering the same!

Zebadi-thinking of you. Stay put LO

Rbourre-praying that today goes by quickly for you, awesome milestone to reach though

I really feel for you ladies who are remodeling, it's a stressful task to undertake even when you aren't expecting.

AFM: I saw my OB yesterday. I had the 1 hour glucose test done as well as some other lab drawn, I won't know results until later next week though. I didn't gain any weight (so still down 13 lbs. from pre-pregnancy weight) I kind of expected this though since I have still been throwing up and queasy. The baby sounds perfect and I am just thankful for each new milestone we meet. Here is my 28 week bump

What do you ladies think about the name Rubye (Ruby) Leigh?

Lauraemiley - Hahahaha! Love how you have added Jaffa Cakes to the list.. lol.
That's a helpful list actually, I have no idea what to pack, so thank you for that. x

That was a top tip from our anti-natal classes I attended first time round! To be honest I barely ate a thing while in labour, totally lost my appetite but they were great for munching on afterwards!

Thanks so much, Mushymilk!! You're so sweet!

What do you ladies think about the name Rubye (Ruby) Leigh?

I think that name is beautiful, but with Ruby spelled traditionally. When I first read Rubye, I pronounced it as roob eye. It would be a mistake people make for her lifetime.

 

[hopettc3]

mushymilk: they book c-sections here 1-2 weeks before due date because they don't want you going into labor. Its a lot easier doing the surgery when you're not contracting.

 

[Elsa50501]

Here's my (2days shy of) 31 week bump. Can't believe I'm in single digit weeks as of Saturday! Time is flying by.

 

[SoBlessedMama]

You look great, Elsa!! Cute bump!!!

 

[Yo_Yo]

Ruby/Rubye Leigh sounds a beautiful name. I'm with mushy on preferring original spelling, but it's really nice

 

[rbourre]

I made it. 29 weeks 6 days and still pregnant. I am so happy to still be pregnant even though I am so uncomfortable. Hoping to make it at least 7 weeks longer.

I've had 2 friends have their baby boys this week and I can't help but feel slightly jealous that they don't have to be pregnant anymore. I just want the next 2 months to go fast so I can meet my baby boy.

Congrats! Each day from now on will be a new milestone for you. FX'd for 7 more weeks of milestones (at least)!

 

[staceymxxx]

All is well, baby still measures a week ahead and weighs just over 4lb

 

[Loopy Laura]

Congrats rbourre - that must be a relief. I love being pregnant and can't decide whether I can't wait for the next 2 months to fly by or I just want to be pregnant forever! I keep switching!

Stacey - glad all is ok!

 

[Mushymilkfor2]

Rbourre that's exciting, but boo for the pain! I hope it starts to go away, or ease up soon. Even though it's not likely, hopefully it does!

I got my 3D scan today, I'll upload pictures later! But it was very exciting! My baby doesn't like to get ultrasounds though, he hides away and gets very still. Every time! Towards the end he started to push away at that spot with his hand. I got to discover his exact position, which worries me a little! Not because of anything that can harm him, but considering how tall I am and where his butt was and the fact that his face and feet were together, makes me believe I am having at least a long baby! And, I found out I have an anterior placenta, which is the first time I've heard that.

Despite him being a little shy baby, we did manage to get a few good shots which was exciting.

 

[ljo1984]

The ultrasound waves are really really noisy for them. Which is why he was prob pushing it away. Mine was really still and uncooperative in 4d too lol, and feet by face, cute.
