Doing baby on Doppler right away this am! Annoying because it doesn't register the rate right! Oh well at least I know it's there and very loud and strong!

Hi ladies :wave:

I'd like to join your group. I'm due 18th October.

I had a scan this morning and was very nervous as my symptoms have been getting better. They didn't with my son until later. Turns out all is well though, measures 1 day ahead with a heart rate of 167bpm and is a wriggler!!

Speck says hi!

This is my little baby 12+2 days so blessed!! Was sleeping soundly, so we gave my belly a wriggle and baby started kicking in protest

 

[Yo_Yo]

Just had my 12 week scan! Baby was wriggling and everything looks fine!

New due date is 28th September now-husbands birthday!! feeling happy!

Yay yo yo!!!! That's great!!!

Ps I'm pretty good. Super busy this week packing for vacation. We leave early Sat. Morning for Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic. I'm super excited about this get away. DH and I definitely need it.
Had my blood drawn yesterday to check HCG level again. Hoping it has dropped a lot. Eager for them to call with the results. I am just spotting now so should be ending any day now. Can't wait to get to BDing again.

Thanks lovely
Oh wow! Sounds like your infor an awesome vacation! Be lovely for you and your family to enjoy some time together somewhere beautiful.

La Mere-we are starting on potty training for my 2 year old too. No way am I doing that twice over every day lol

I actually amazingly had my now 3 year old potty trained before she was 2! She was about a year and a half and hated having wet/dirty diapers! I am hoping my son will catch on quick... he is only 14 1/2 months atm. Good luck with potty training!!

La mere my twins are cloth diapered im probably going to have 3 in cloth though one of my twins did do poos once in the toilet this week though I think that was a bit of a fluke.

we got one of our twins sleeping in their big girl bed last night! Was the first night and it went really well. She slept all night. Once shes doing this consistently we will work on the other one but hes currently Co sleeping so I imagine that transition will be a lot harder since he's never slept on his own, not even for day naps. He's either slept in a carrier or on me.

Oh, don't get me wrong! I love my cloth diapers and wouldn't mind it so much to have more than one in diapers... Just as we are still building our house we don't have my washer or dryer set up so I have to use the laundry mat and as it is I only make it into town once a week. So, that was my only complaint about it, lol.

Well done on your little girl sleeping all night in her big girl bed! My DH built our daughter a bed as she was still using the crib as a toddler bed. Now we have started putting our son in the crib (he still hasn't quite figured how to climb down from things yet ) and he's been doing fairly well... still wakes sometimes in the night. Both of mine co slept with us and it was a bit of a transition... Hoping my son will adjust soon as the new baby will be taking his spot in the bed. My DH said when we found out "I'm never going to sleep in my bed without a baby again... Am I?"

Oh wow you have to use the laundry mat! I couldnt even imagine that with cloth! My goodness I bet you cant wait to get your washer and dryer back. Id be so lost without mine. We had to get a huge one to suit our family and even then we do at least a load a day, usually two.

thats good to hear your son is transitioning well. I hope mine does too, he has always been very clingy tho so im sort of expecting it to be a very long process and I dont do cio or any form of sleep training.
Awesome that hubby made a bed. I wanted to make beds but hubby is not a handy man at all and I wouldnt know where to start.

My hubby said something similar about never sleeping on our own again lol

It can be hard, though it is all right! But yes, I cannot wait to have them back.. life will be a bit easier then! I was pretty lost when we first moved and I didn't have them. I was usually doing about 2 loads a day of just my daughter's things... *sighs* Simpler times, lol!

We started with cio for a little while in conjunction with half a chewable melatonin tablet. Worked pretty well, I try to make sure he has a super full tummy and isn't too awake or overtired. When I do that he usually goes down without too much trouble... he will sometimes cry a bit before going to sleep if he isn't quite ready to go down or if he is overtired.

Got our ultrasound today! Baby's hand was up by its face and was waving around sometimes and had ankles crossed. So cute. Everything looked great and had a heartrate of 165!

Amazing pictures!! Feels like your LO is waving at you saying hello mommy I'm here! So cute!!!

Just had my 12 week scan! Baby was wriggling and everything looks fine!

New due date is 28th September now-husbands birthday!! feeling happy!

Where are the pictures Yo_yo & baby3onboard?

I don't have my scan until 04/04/14 - Waiting!

Have all of you started dtd again ? We haven't... just feeling unsure. I actually didn't ask my doctor about it...neither did she tell me anything. Consulted Google which says good to go as long as there is no complication. I had 2 MCs earlier... so I'm not too sure. How are things with everyone else?

We never stopped. We usually do everyday, sometimes we are both just to tired. And just so you know, it is totally fine. Never had any problems with either of my previous pregnancies and my midwife with my first actually told us to do it as much as possible as the semen is good for softening up the cervix when it is close to time of delivery. HTH

Thanks! Good luck with yours- let me know how it goes!

Had my bloods done today, was surprisingly easy for my veins for once. Sure yours will go fine. I find not looking when they do it helps

 

[ljo1984]

Yeh they don't normally have any trouble doing them, just don't like the thought lol. I just won't look

Same here I'll get a wave here and here but it's pretty much gone. My ms wasn't even really horrible tho so I think I'm getting lucky here

 

[AshleyLK]

Just had our scan. Baby measuring perfectly and heartbeat was in the 150's.

My MS is still around, I haven't puked (thank god!) but I am commonly nauseous and very exhausted. Not a good combo when I have to chase around an 18 month old. What I have learned through this trying time, is that motherhood should be considered sainthood...lol
