September Snugglers 2016

Thank you so much ladies. I get more support on here from you who I've never met more than I do in real life. It really hit me that my sister never asks about me or shows any interest, but when she was pregnant I asked about her every single day. Just makes me not want to share anything with her whatsoever and right now I don't want her to watch DS really.

I just took a bump picture too! I feel like she's getting so big and strong in there cause I felt her butt stick out so much right by my belly button and that hurt! I could really trace it and it felt so real.

Moo, I was wondering, did you take the primrose oil orally or as a suppository? The internet is very confusing on the subject.

I took it orally Uni, but I hear it can be either way. There's not much I'm willing to have shoved up my hoo-hoo
Good for softening the cervix, I believe.

Mummy1506- My dd was 9lb11oz at 41+1. My DS1 was 9lb7oz at 40weeks. My DS2 was 7lb6oz at 39+3. I am not sure boy vs girls matters much. My DD was huge! Even if my DS2 went overdue, he still would not have been close to her size. I am getting a growth scan at 33 weeks, so I am curious how big this baby is.

Great bump there Campn

campn - love the bump!

mumma third tri!! So exciting!

Campn your sister definitely sounds selfish. Have you told her how you feel? I'd say those exact words to her. Not fair!


So exciting ladies that we're getting close to third tri I've not been on in a while so there was alot to read! On vacation with the family in Los Angeles. Got in late last night. Going to the beach today but it's cloudy still taking the kids in the ocean as they've never seen it then off to Disney land tomorrow. Being from a city of 1 million people though I will say it's crazy how busy LA is.

Great bump, campn. My sister just almost bought a stroller after collecting money from my friends. Unfortunately she didn't check in to see if we had bought one (we have) or look to see if we have a registry (we do). One of my friends emailed me to make sure my sister had checked in with me first. When DH and I got married, she organized a bachelorette party that none of my friends could afford and nobody enjoyed. My friends felt so bad that they threw me another one. It's more about her getting attention than doing something I would like.

I was over 11 pounds, but 3 weeks late. I guess if I was born on time I would have been around 9 1/2? My sister was 3 weeks early and 8 1/2 pounds. So, Liam will probably be huge. I have an ultrasound next Thursday, so I guess we'll see.

Momma- yes, it was a bikini last week. Eek!

Hey ladies, 27 weeks today for me and starting to feel rather rounded. Bump pic..

campn - Love the bump

mari - Happy 6th birthday to your DS!

I've had a fairly exciting weekend. Saturday night/Sunday morning, I went into the hospital because I was having a lot of cramping. I figured it was better to be safe than sorry. So after monitoring and some testing, it turns out I have a UTI, which has been irritating my uterus and causing me to cramp. It's really weird, though, because beyond the cramping I don't have any other symptoms of an infection. But I've got a prescription for antibiotics now and baby boy was doing well during the monitoring, so everything turned out okay.

I'm now signed up for birthing classes, too! It seems so crazy that I'm already at that point. I start towards the end of June and go for 3 weeks. OH and I are also planning on signing up for a baby care class towards the end of my pregnancy. The classes are more for OH than me. I've had three kids already and so I only really need refreshers, but this is OH's first, so he doesn't have a clue. I figured the more prepared he is, the better of we'll be.

Next week I have to take my glucose test and I'm really dreading it.

Loving the bump pics!

Loving all the bump pics ladies!!! I have my 26 week prenatal appt today. Really hoping I don't have a UTI. It was a big problem for me with my last baby in the 3rd tri. I also feel like my iron could be low again. I am going to get my doc to order a blood test. I am in so much pain from my sciatic nerve. I wake up barely being able to move. My pain lasts all day long. I have an appt with a chiropractor and massaged therapist soon. I am really hoping it helps.

Hi ladies!! Just popping in to report that my yellow bump turned pink by accident today. I had an appointment for a quick re-scan to get some shots they couldn't get at my 20 week scan. It was totally my fault that the beans got spilled so no one to be mad at but myself. I was really hoping for a pink bump so I'm not too disappointed that I won't get my surprise. DH is over the moon!

Loving all the bump pics! Keep them coming!

 

[xanzaba]

Congrats on team pink, Megan!

 

[MummaMoo]

Congratulations Megan!

 

[Uni tsi]

Those are some lovely bumps, ladies!

Congrats Megan, how exciting

How many have started doing kick counts already? I think I'm sort of obsessed with them. I have an app on my phone, and I've been doing it several times a day

 

[aidensxmomma]

Congrats on your bump Megan!

Uni - I do kick counts, but don't actually have any sort of record of them, like an app or chart. Baby has been fairly consistent about when he's active over the last 6 weeks or so, so I pay attention during those times to make sure he moves a lot and call it good.

 

[mari35racz36]

Congrats on your pink bump Megan!!!

Uni - I haven't started kick counting yet. I find during the day I'm so busy I don't even notice when the baby moves. Lol But at night I am a lot more aware of movements and that seems to be the baby's super active time.

 

[amantila]

Congrats on the bump, Megan! Sorry they spoiled the surprise for you but glad everything worked out!

Uni: I haven't really been doing kick counts yet. I get nervous if I don't feel a lot of movement for awhile so sometimes I'll just sit still until I feel the baby moving around. I suppose I should look into starting them soon. When are you typically supposed to start with those?

Today was officially my last day of school! Woohoo summer vacation! They sent us home from work early which was WONDERFUL so now I'm enjoying my first few hours of a nice relaxing summer ahead of me :] And my coworkers all pitched in to buy me a $150 gift card from amazon to buy something from my registry. So kind of them! I work with some of the nicest people! I already used the gift card to buy the fancy rocker/swing combo I had been eyeing up for awhile. It will be delivered to our NEW home on Sunday :] Lots of happiness and excitement over here! :]

Campn- I know what you mean by feeling more support on here than in real life. My sister really let me down with a comment and an old friend has now canceled on meeting me 3 times. Lesson to me- I shouldn't even meet up with her as she made awful comments, such as older moms are more likely to have autistic kids. I know I need to let stuff roll off my shoulder, but I am feeling fed up with people! (Besides OH and my parents!) Did you end up saying anything to her? I hope you are feeling better about things. These self-centered ones aren't worth our time.

Mari- sure hope the chiro helps with the pain. I have to get my iron checked too, as I used to have anemia and they haven't checked it yet.

Megan- CONGRATS on your baby girl! So happy for you!
I might be the only team yellow member left here?!

Amant- congrats on moving in and being done with work for a while..yay!!
My dr. said either 26 or 28 wks to keep track of kicks.. I can't remember which!

Aiden- so glad the cramping was nothing serious and hope the uti resolves very soon..they usually do. Good thing you got tested.

So I'm feeling crampy and moody today. Looking forward to wknd though Baby seemed to be doing somersaults all night!! I agree- most active at night time. Past 2 hours though haven't felt anything. I read they are most active while we are resting.

AJ- enjoy Cali..I love it out there!

 

[campn]

Meg- Congrats again mama!!

Uni- I haven't! My doctor said start in your third trimester but even with DS I didn't count, I just paid attention and as long as I was feeling him often I was happy!

Aman- How sweet and generous of them! I love getting gift cards/cash rather than gifts (unless I registered for it) cause I want to be able to buy what I actually need. In my shower with DS I got two Boppy pillows lol.

Hopie- I didn't say anything, my friend kept saying confront her but honestly right now I can't deal with any sort of drama esp with someone in my family, I just held my tongue and told her okay no worries. I'm so sorry you've some uncaring friends like that, but if they keep cancelling on you don't even make another plan with them. What a waste of your time!

Yeah mine is so active at night too! Also whenever I eat I think is her happiest time girl after my own heart!

My inlaws are taking DS next week! They've never done that so I'm excited but also scared, like, what will I do with myself for a week? As much as a week off from him sounds freeing and relaxing I think I'll miss him terribly. He's been nothing but all kisses and hugs lately. Covering my belly up with his favorite blanket cause "Juliette is cold!" Or giving me his favorite toys saying baby sister can have them. He's been sharing his snacks with me and gives me two of everything, 1 for me, 1 for Juliette. My heart is a puddle.
