That is exactly how my nursery looked. We've gutted the room now which we basically used as storage and now just to get a few little repairs done before we paint and get stuck into building the furniture!

Hi ladies just caught up.
Butterfly so happy only one baby hon phew.

Shorty that's such a cute baby grow. I still haven't brought anything yet. Lol

Britt need you hear hon my whole house needs painting hahahahaha

Loving all the bump photos ladies. I dont feel like mine has grown much but will put up a photo on Monday when I turn 22 weeks and let u all decide if I've grown.

Not sure if I wrote this b4 but my bile acid levels are only slightly raised so that's really good.
Feeling alot better now and my pee is not stinging now but I'm still peeing alot. Esp at night.
Anyone find there bump gets really achey?
Round ligament pain and pelvic pain has been bad this past week.

Anyone else finding that since they hit 20 weeks the time is just dragging and dragging?
Just eager to get to that 24 week stage so that the pregnancy is viable and baby has a chance but it seems to be taking for ever.
I shud be 22+1 now going by my gender scan but there still sticking to the 13 week scan measurements so that means I'm not 22 weeks until Monday which sucks.

Been getting lots of Braxton hicks. They dont hurt but they can be a bit uncomfortable which is a bit scary.
I feel baby kicking really low down or sometimes its above my belly button. Still not feeling ALL movements because of the anterior placenta but definitely feeling kicks and others can feel it from the outside. I find some days he is more active than others.

Got my scan Tuesday just hope all his heart is ok. I know she said not to worry but I am a bit because I've never had to be re scanned b4 because they cudnt get a closer enough look at the heart so I'm a bit worried

I know how you are feeling @Suggerhoney when we had to go back for the re scan for little ones brain at 12 weeks, was the longest week! I'm sure all is well with him.

We are struggling to decide on a name for this one, We are letting the older ones have some input, well the names they are coming up with no no and nope!

Good luck with the nurseries everyone, we will be doing ours next month i think, no rush though.

Sugger my son wouldn’t flip over in his anatomy scan and she said we’d have to come back to see his heart, but she had me try going on my hands and knees first to see if he would flip and he did. But if he hadn’t moved we would have had to go back, so I think it’s fairly common if baby isn’t in a good position.

My anatomy scan is also Tuesday. We aren’t doing much with the nursery because it’s my son’s room now and they will share, so we might move the dresser over and add a bookshelf, but that’s all. I just have to pull out all DS’s old baby clothes and sort through them for this baby!

And yes time has started to drag, although I am finding that staying busy helps. We have been renovating our backyard and working on a few house projects so that’s been good. I’m also going to enroll DS in swimming lessons this summer which will give us something else to do.

 

[Jessie7003]

Time is definitely dragging now! Can’t wait to be at the viable stage also!

 

[brittany12]

Got so much done today!!! My dh took ds for most of the day so i put on Mickey Mouse for dd and some music for me and got busy! I cleaned out the room not long after finding out I was pregnant! It was the play room and junk room! I had it already painted because I did NOT want to be stuck painting at 30 weeks again like I did with dds nursery. But I did NOT like the color we chose and went back with my safety net of white haha!
It looks yellowish in the photos because of the bedroom light being on since it’s cloudy outside!

-Where the bassinet is currently at is where the rocker will go, bassinet will move to our room
-the changing pad and such will go on the dresser closer to October
-the crib mattress will be in the crib closer to October and transferring ds to a big bed
-I am still deciding on which rug I want to use
-the grey wall behind the crib will be shiplap
-everything else will wait until we have baby and know gender!

Whew I’m exhausted! And ps I loathe painting haha!

 

[Shorty88]

Looks lovely @brittany12 it's getting me excited that our little ones are coming soon looking at your nursery lol.

23 weeks today and time yes is defo slowing down one more week to viable and I cannot wait.

I'm going on holidays next Friday. It is a 3 hour flight just wondering any tips on what to bring with me to keep me comfy on the plane? X

 

[playgirl666]

loving the nurseys, i dont get to do one, as we are in a 3 bed house, my son is in the small room and my 2 girls are in the biggest room we have, so baby will be with us, we are waiting to be moved but that wont happen until baby is here, 2 more weeks till baby is viable time seems to be dragging atm x

 

[doddy0402]

Hi hon.. just want to say my son was pretty much the same.. femur off the charts, AC behind.. only BPD & HC age appropriate..
He came out fine, just small at 6lbs.
He thrived better outside of course and is an amazing toddler today so pls try to be positive :*

thank you for this. I am going through waves of being positive and not so positive at the moment.
DH didn't really understand what I was upset about during the scan, because the sonographer was all happy and chatty, but while I was waiting for the paperwork at the end, I told him all the measurements looked smaller than I expected and then the scan report has GROWTH SCANS BOOKED, CONTACT CONSULTANT IF NO APPOINTMENT IN 5 WORKING DAYS in big capital letters so he realised I wasnt being a hypochondriac!
@butterflywolf yay for just the 1 baby, and congratulations on your girl!
We had two attempts at getting the spine and heart shots needed, they did 3 of the 4 shots they wanted on the scan last week, and the final shot on Friday. The spine one they rolled me onto my side, lowered the head of the bed right down and were rocking me for about 5 mins to try and get him to roll enough for the spine shots, as he had been in the same position for the last 3 scans he is obviously comfy lying flat on his back! Nothing to worry about though, just being thorough!x

Hi ladies lovely to see so many beautiful bumps....

Here is my bump at 20weeks and I’m now 22 weeks tomorrow and a little bigger now.
Feeling very conscious that I’m bigger second time around and had a few comments to suggest I am bigger than expected. As long as baby is well which the anomaly scan suggested so with no issues or concerns raised - I’m happy xx

 

[brittany12]

Baby is moving so much lately and it’s so much stronger! I’ve felt movements down low and up high!

I wasn’t also told today by a stranger that my belly was so perfect! Made me feel good considering this is my third and I don’t feel as cute as I did with my other two!

 

[xjessibabyx]

So I went for my 20 week scan and they tried to scan me for over an hour but baby was too curled up (also flipped back to breech - was head down at 16 weeks) so they weren't able to check the heart, spine, cord insertion, face and lips or confirm if she's a girl or not. They had me drinking fizzy pop, walked round, did lunges and squats, empty my bladder twice, they tilted the bed right back and got me to roll side to side. Nothing. So now got to wait until I'm 23 weeks and travel to a hospital further away as that's the only appointment they had. Was hoping to feel reassured but I'm definitely not after today.

Oh hon thats exactly want they did with me when I had mine. They had me empty my bladder and then go on one side than the other then on all fours rocking my hips then made me go walking all around the hospital and have something cold and sweet to see if they wud get him to turn over but nope.
So I'm back tommorow so she can have a closer look at his heart. Also hope to get some decent pics. I didn't bother getting pics last time because he was being so stubborn Haha.

Hi ladies
Just got back from seeing the liver consultants in Birmingham it's been a long day and I'm totally pooped lol.
So my bile acid levels are now only slightly raised and there not concerned about that at the moment which is great and it means the medication is working.
My liver function has greatly improved which is fantastic but my iron is really really low so they want me to have a iron infusion. Which is done via IV drip, but only takes about 20 mins so that's good.
I see the liver doctor here in my home town on about 2 weeks, when I'll be 24 weeks then I'm back in birminghame again in 6 weeks when I'll be 28 weeks.
Also he took one look at me and see how I was walking and said u have SPD. I kind of new I did as had it with DS and DD but this time the pain is radiating down my inner upper thighs and it hurts so bad to sit down and stand and going up and down stairs also rolling over in bed is a problem.
I will bring it up to the midwife next week.
I did do all my housework yesterday and cooked a meal and baked cupcakes so I'm not sure if I've maybe over done things a bit.
I'm in my pjs now and gonna have some pain killers and lay down and rest.
My scan is at 2:15pm tommorow to double check his heart. Will hopefully be able to get some pics to show u all this time and praying his heart is ok.

22 weeks today or 22+3 going by 16 week scan measurements.
Here is my 22 week bumpy

 

[Suggerhoney]

Ignore the stupid face I'm such a moron lol
