[heart tree]

Oh how wonderful you saw the hb so early! You must be on

This is my 5th pregnancy after 4 losses as well and it's the furthest I've ever gotten. I hope 5th time is the charm for both of us! xoxo

 

[heart tree]

Thanks Pretty! It's funny because my pictures make me look tanner than I am. I'm not getting any sun on my belly, but it looks like it has a little color. Not sure why.

How are you doing hon? Did you mention you had a scan on March 2?

 

[bumpyplease]

Heart your figure is A.mazing! You go girl!

 

[Pretty Please]

Yeah I'm good thank u - tired but getting nt scan and today I heard bubs on Doppler such a cool sound. Daytime tv here I watch teenage mums it's filmed in us it's quite addictive shows the birth and how they get on with their baby. They do amazingly well. Do u watch it?

Oh dancing on ice last night that poor stunt man who forgot his rountine I was crying must of been all the hormones - never cry at stuff on tv

 

[hopeful23456]

you look great heart! i'm just being paranoid not wanting to mess with my bump or put stuff on it, trying to keep it unharmed my shoulder is sore from laying on it, for some reason i just have trouble side sleeping in general, even with the body pillow. it's like i put so much weight on my shoulder for some reason?

welcome cazi! i agree with what the girls said about baby asp and folic acid

bumpy - when do you get beta results?\

hi pretty! i don't like that teenage moms show at all....maybe others like it better?

just took my last steroid pill! so happy, been on for 3 months.

 

[Pretty Please]

Hopeful what u having to celebrate ? Chocy bar? Ice cream ? R u glad to be off the steroids or do u think it will worry u Tom ?

I know it's a bit trashy that show but it amazes me how well they do coping at such a young age!!!

 

[hopeful23456]

hi pretty -
i did have some girl scout cookies that my coworker gave me. i've been really craving fruits, raspberries, grapes and watermelon.
congrats on hearing the heartbeat!
i am not worried about going off of them at all which is nice, you have to go off of them or they can cause problems later on in pregnancy and my dose was so low at the end, just 2.5 mg/day.

 

[daviess3]

Ho;peful lets see ur twinny bump!!! Wow heart fab lil bump an im jealous u do look very tanned ! An ur tiny!! I feel like i popped can defo feel bump now when im in bed etc!

hopeful im same wont lay on stomach or put anything on it!!! lol x

Afm been to work today come home had dinner bath dog got washed!!! now im shattered!! hubby gone to look at a flat for an investment with his brother! I think we should have it for 2 day a week breaks like in sex an city lol!! Great idea i could sleep there peacefully haha! x

 

[heart tree]

Argh, just typed and my post got erased!

I don't watch those teenage shows either. I get a bit upset by them to be honest.

Pretty, how far along are you? Wonderful news you heard the hb on the doppler! So do you have an NT scan on March 2? I want to update the front page and want to make sure I have my facts correct.

Hopeful, congrats on finishing up the steroids! You must be thrilled. I think Pip said you might be less hungry now.

I sometimes get shoulder pains too. Side sleeping exclusively is difficult. I might invest in a body pillow. I wish I had a suggestion for you to make it better. Is your acupuncturist doing any work on your shoulder? Maybe that could help.

I read that babies respond positively to mothers who rub their bellies. I can't stop rubbing mine and talking to my baby. Apparently around 16 weeks they can start hearing things too!

Bumpy how are you doing doll?

I'm on day 5 of no progesterone and the hb is as strong as ever. Look at me go!

 

[jenny25]

Oooo check you Amanda sexy beast you xx

 

[heart tree]

Thanks Jen!

Oooh Davies, a nice Sex in the City flat for breaks would be perfect!

Do you wash Willow yourself? She's enormous!

 

[Pretty Please]

I'm 10w 2 d I think !!!! Or couple days further along should really do a ticker but last couple of times I jinks myself and never nice to delete a ticker ...... Yeah will be nice for scan and then at least I can tell my family if it's good news !

Davies is your dog yours or hubbys ? Bet it's hard work walking your dog b4 u go to work. My mother sometimes leaves her 2 yap dogs with me while she goes on hols and they r so hard work !

How does paternity work In us for chaps do they get any time from their company? Or is it just annual leave ?

 

[heart tree]

My husband hasn't asked about paternity leave. I think it is different depending on where you work. I think it is dictated by the company you work for. There isn't a national standard. Good question though. I'll have to remind hubby to ask about it.

Oh, you are further along than I thought. I never put a ticker up on this site until I knew the baby had a hb. Since I've joined this site, I've never had a pregnancy with a hb until this one. My first pregnancy had one, but I wasn't a member of this site yet. I don't blame you for wanting to wait until you have a positive scan under your belt.

 

[daviess3]

Willows ours she is very much like our first baby! Mummy's girl in day well behaved loving towards me etc but as soon as daddy comes home she's naughty an a daddy's girl an he lets her get away with it!! Lol! Would change her for world!

No we pay someone to wash an groom her! Have done it ourselves but we get wetter than the dog an when a st Bernard shakes! White walls are no more! Lol! X

We walk her fri sat sun an I occasionally during week we believe in back to basics with her she respects us we respect her! She doesn't jump up at strangers she doesn't come upstairs she's never been stopped but she respects that's our area as we do her bedroom! Apart from cleaning! She also has a bed in lounge! An a room downstairs! Taking dogs back to basics is copying wolves in the pack an basically dogs don't need walking everyday it's humans that believe that! We humanise our dogs!
Dogs need exercise of course but not as much as everyday! We have a large garden, also she sleeps 20 hours a day!! Snores!! Very lazy girly! Haha!

As for me I'm tired! Sleepy tonight! Need to stop craving sweet things, I ate a double snickers an not want chocolate biscuits!! X

 

[heart tree]

Davies, I didn't know that about dogs. That's so interesting. We had a dog when I was growing up, but we lived in an area where we could let him out and he would come back when he felt like it. We never walked him. We just let him out the door. It was a safe neighborhood in a country like setting. Lots of apple orchards and farms around. He had a good life!

Willow sounds like the perfect dog! I wish I could have one here. Our landlord doesn't allow them.

I just ate a grilled cheese sandwich with 3 different kinds of cheeses and avocado on it. I'll definitely gain weight if I keep eating like that! LOL! I'm not craving sweets except for fruit. I have a gorgeous pineapple I'm going to slice up today. Yum! It's so nice not to have nausea anymore! I love the 2nd Tri! I can't wait to feel baby more.

 

[croydongirl]

Hey ladies! Back from my lovely weekend away. It was just what I needed.

I had a lovely surprise when I came home too, the kitchen was spotless and the shower scrubbed to within an inch of its life. Plus he had finished a bunch of house projects we were in the middle of. I think I need to go away more often!

I am really struggling with fatigue and nausea again. I am so ready to be glowing like they told me they would be by now! ha ha

Hope you are all doing well - I look forward to reading over the pages I missed and catch up on news.

 

[Embo78]

Glad you had a great weekend away croy. You've got your hubby well trained!!!

My nausea came back last night and I feel so yucky. As yucky as I did in first tri. I wonder if we've had a surge of hormones!

 

[croydongirl]

Sorry you are nauseous too. I hope that the surges stop soon and we both feel better Again soon. I am so pathetic when I feel sick! I annoy myself.

 

[Embo78]

Me too I feel like such a moaning minny!!
