Ohhhh harsh! How did you manage to set your clock an hour early?
Apart from feeling shattered already, how you feeling today hun?

We got a Peugeot 807. Big beast of a 7 seater. Lovely to drive though (apparently! DH is the driver in our house- we can't afford for me to take lessons)

I'm finally feeling daily movement from the bubbas. Think one of them kicked Toby last night- he had a nightmare I think so while he was screaming and crying in his sleep I gave him a cuddle to settle him and I felt a huge kick as if the babies were trying to say "shut up I'm sleeping in ere!"

 

[sethsmummy]

ooo thats a lovely car! I think Seth may just have been playing with my phone lol, I got over the tiredness at around 10 oclock as my sister was on the phone for an hour and a half having a good old rant about life. I'm feeling pretty good today apart from some really painful braxton hicks which just started when i sat down. I need to get some juice or water drank as iv had none today so far.

hahahaha poor babies. I wonder if Toby had been awake if he would have felt it

I ladies. I'm 23 weeks and plus sized. I just wondered if anyone can tell me if their size has effected how strongly or how often you feel movement. I've been quite worried as my baby seems very lazy and I don't feel much but on a recent scan he was going crazy and I couldn't feel it. Just wondering if it's linked to my size. Many thanks

i dont know if it was to do with our size, probably does .. but i felt my 1st ever faintest movement @ 20weeks & very slight kick.. this is my 1st so i didnt really know what it should feel like.. i felt most movements from 22/23 weeks on.. so hang in there

I personally think our weight plays a part depending on how big u r. Some of these women feel movements at 16 weeks or earlier. I myself am the biggest here. Im like 4 something and I didn't feel movement til about 20 weeks. They were still a lil faint but they're there. It feels like gas bubbles lol.

When I had a scan done, she asked if I could feel the baby move while she watched and I was like no, she asked a few times and I couldn't. I think it was cuz I was lying down.

Its probably no biggie tho. U should be feeling more this week on, unless baby is lazy lol. My lil guy gets lazy now and some days he act like he's playing soccer lol. No worries!

Hi everyone!

Cottles those are great names! I like them a lot I wouldn't worry bout wat other people think either, I know OHs family didn't like our boy name so I've not told anyone else it, as we like it and frankly it's our baby! I'm very jealous of your new car!! That's so exciting

Zfbaby - I think to be honest some babys are lazier than others, our weight shouldnt effect how we feel kicks but may mean it takes longer for anyone to feel from the outside. Well, that's always been my thinking anyway! Have you asked your dr?

AFM - Im finishing washing all LOs clothes / bibs / sheets today. OH finally helped me put up the pictures in the nursery I'm really apply to be pretty much done! Definately will post pics later!
LO has been very very quiet again today. I've only just started feeling a few small movements about 5 mins ago. I really hate how she does this, she's crazy for a few days then I get nothing for hours and hours. I think she's trying to turn me gray!! Xxx

 

[Sparklegirl]

miwi i cant wait to see pics !!!!!!!

 

[Miwi]

Ok, so here is our little (almost finished) nursery! We just have to put two shelves up to the left of the window and get her cot made up
It's very small so it's kind of hard to show properly but hopefully you can work it out!

holly hell your bump is amazing! I want it!! Your nursery looks so lovely I will have to get mine finished off and then take a pic of the wall for you ladies. I think they all want to see how grey they can make us before they are born Ethan has been on the quiet side too

Zfbaby - To be honest the proffesionals say being big plays a large part on feeling movements but i dont think it does. Im a uk size 28 atm and was a 24/26 when i got pregnant. This is my second but i started feeling movement at 12 weeks. With my first i was 18 weeks. It does however effect how soon you can feel movement from the outside. Perhaps your placenta is at the front?? Mine is and it can effect how often i feel baby move. But don't worry though some people (including skinny minnies) get to 25+ weeks before they feel anything. If this is your first you might not realise those butterfly flutters or "gas bubbles" are actually baby moving. And also lol did that a bit backwards didn't I.

I am feeling rather well at the moment woot So while i have a little energy i am going to clean up! AND maybe sort out the boys bedroom and finish the wall. I was meant to get some black paint but cant afford it so my butterflies are going to be multicoloured lol. My adorable little man decided that he wanted weetabix... AND he wanted a bath... at the same time. So picture tiny little Seth... sitting in a little bubble bath.. with a bowl of weetabix eating looking quite the thing lol. Made me giggle something rotton.

I'm getting nervous for my appointment tomorrow now, I hope it goes ok

Miwiiiiiii i love ur bump Wow it huge & soooooo beautiful!!!!
Love the nursery, it looks so cosy.. love the star light.

 

[Miwi]

Really seths? Aw thanks!! Lol. I feel like I'm too big?! But I guess there is no right size really. I've only just started to look really round I think. Looked back on my pictures and cannot believe how much I've grown in 2 weeks!! I'm going to be huge by the time she's fully cooked! Haha.

I have to say I really love our nursery, I was going for simple but calm. And not too girlie just incase!! I realised I could probably do with a cot mobile and a cot bumper, but I'll have to see if I can afford it first. Plus she'll be with us for a few months anyway so not too much of a rush!

I'm so glad you're feeling better today Hun! Don't burn yourself out though And I think multi coloured butterfly's sound fab! I can't wait to see pics!!

Omg eatin weetabix in the bath . . . That's hilarious!! I think he could be on to a good thing with that you know Baths are good and so is food - makes sense to put the two together xxx

 

[Miwi]

Thanks sparkle! I know, I'm huge I've grown so much in the last couple weeks!! Eeek!

 

[sethsmummy]

Lol yeah he was really proud of himself too!

Your not too big hun! Everyone has a different amount of fluid etc and it all depends on how you carry baby too. wish my bump was that good. Might get DH to do a bump pic for me later if i go finish the nursery now.
Yeah my cot is a storage space atm.. dont even have a mattress for it yet but the swinging crib is all ready to go
I'll not be doing too much Im shattered from my earlier than needed wake up so it will be an early night so im bright eyed and bushy tailed for the hospital tomorrow . Im real happy my sister is coming with me in a way.. but in a way upset because i wanted it to be DH as if anything is wrong.. i.e ethan has stopped growing or something Pre-e related then he should be the first to know. But she has been sworn to secrecy and she knows she is to tell no1 my section date as i dont want people to know. I will be telling people who ask the day after the date i actually get.. because i cant be bothered with them trying to get into the hospital when i am not ready for visitors. The only ones who will know the true date are my sister, mum parents, us, consultant and the midwife... and you guys of course

Hi ladies thanks for all your replies. I definitely know I am feeling baby when it happens. I first felt him at 16wks. It's just frustrating that he doesn't seem as active as other mums have said theirs are. I get a few nudges in the morning and then a few at night. I can go hours without feeling anything an never if I'm standing up.
I have a mw appt on the 28th so will ask then. Hopefully he will start to pick up. I also worry that I'm feeling him less this week than a couple of weeks ago. Idk

 

[Squishy1982]

Hey girls, sorry I haven't been around. Big hugs to all of you that need them.

I have been busy decorating Lachlans room for him to move into so that we can change his smaller room into the nursery.

I have been painting for 2 days with a bad back but it eased when I was moving. its all done now though so just need to build his bunk beds and he can move in there. I think he is a bit apprehensive about it all.

I had my first sick free day the other day but have still been being sick since.

Here is my bump pic at 22+4

[sethsmummy]

Zfbaby - I didnt feel constant movement until around 28 weeks hun. Up until then i think it was just flutters and tiny nudges. Now he beats me up

Squishy.. lovely bump pic hun aww bless him, maybe a little scary moving into a bigger bedroom bless him. But i bet he loves it when he gets in there. Ahh i was so going when you said no sick.. then when you said it came back. Fingers crossed your back ache and sickness go away soon hun!

I just had a mammoth clean in the boys room. And have some piccys. Please excuse the dirty carpet (it needs washed. I'm hiring a rug doctor when we have the money as the living room carpet is in the same state) and the tatty curtains. they should be in my bedroom.. we still have seths bob the builder ones up atm. I need DH to change them over for me.
SORRY THERE IS LOADS OF PICS!
