September Snugglers 2016

I still manage to shave with some difficulty because, of big belly ofcourse. But, waxing my bits is not going to happen ever because, hands and legs waxing is so pain in assI can't imagine doing it there.

Oh, and I have scan in just two hours so if baby cooperate we will know if It's pink or blue.

congrats on team pink Alea.

Doing it by feel with electric clippers, and then as a precaution my swimsuit bottoms have a little skirt attached so if I missed anything no one can notice

I'm loving aqua spin class! I haven't gone to prenatal yoga classes yet, but I did a dvd at home today and I've been searching for classes in my area. I've been walking a lot too, but it's starting to get really hard to walk up hills.

Thrilled to announce that Moo will be having a little sister!

YAY another girl! Congrats!!

 

[MummaMoo]

Congrats to the new gender announcements!!

Not posted for a day or two, have felt pretty rough with this last cold landing straight on my chest. Can't take a deep breath in without starting a coughing fit and sounding like I'm 40 cigarettes a day. It's exhausting!!

As for keeping the growler trimmed, I do a bit every now and then, and last time as I got bigger I ended up going by feel. The thing I find harder is cutting my toenails! I won't let Mr Moo do them as I hate the way he does his, it's a wonder I haven't bled out to death when he's caught me with his feet under the covers!

Hopie, glad to hear your mums op went well, here's hoping that all goes well on her road to recovery.
And yay for eggs!

Ginge, hope your sickness goes soon, and lovely bump!! No advice over the toilet training thing, Sophie is proving reluctant, but we haven't gone into underwear yet. We're away in a couple of weeks so will tackle it after the holiday.

I'm not doing any prenatal exercises/classes. I'd love to, but with work and then dealing with Sophie after work I doubt I'd get the chance to go to any!

Has anyone had their bumps touched yet? And what are your thoughts on it? Are you a "keep you hands to yourself" kind of person, or OK with it? It happened with me yesterday, she was asking how we were and it was only afterwards it occurred to me that she was giving me a good old belly rub. I think it seems strange to me at the moment because I feel like they're touching more belly fat than baby, but I wasn't as precious about it as with my last pregnancy.

I was working with a lovely agency girl yesterday, and she thought she could see little boy bits in the one scan picture - the one where you're looking down on the baby looking up. I'm unsure - anyone willing to look back and give me their thoughts?

 

[Sweety21]

Totally gutted. couldn't find out gender because baby was not co-operating. Have to wait another month to find out. Disappointed! But, baby was totally fine.

Alea- congrats on your pink baby!

Campn- I shave, but I bought a modest swim suit just in case I missed anything.

Mumma- I am completely against belly touching. I even find it weird when my family touches my belly, even though I love them so much and put up with it because it makes them happy. A stranger did it to me once, and if I hadn't been so shocked I would have pushed her hand away and shamed her. Nobody would touch your belly normally, why is it okay when preggers? Where I live, people generally respect your personal space, so it's not often an issue.

Hopie- it's so good to hear from you, and glad that your mom's surgery went well. Hoping that your nausea gets better. Funny, I bet nobody dislikes hearing that they look tiny outside of pregnancy. The kicking and the belly will come Good luck with your scan next week.

 

[Alea]

Thanks everyone for the lovely messages. I was convinced we were having a girl so it came as no surprise to me.

Mumma, I'm really not a fan of having my tummy touched.

 

[campn]

Mumma- I hate it, my MIL puts her hands on my belly without asking first and it makes me so uncomfortable, but if I said anything it may create a fight (she's not the nicest person) but if a stranger like at the grocery store did this I'll tell them that's not allowed. I'm not a fan of human touch anyway though

Upload your pic and let us guess!

Sweety- Were they so booked up!? With DS they had me come a week later to check again. I'm sorry hun, at least in 1 month you'd get a very very accurate guess!

I have taken the plunge today and brought myself some maternity jeans! I can still fit in my pre preg jeans but they are soooo uncomfy now!

 

[campn]

My 17+4 week bump. It's really starting to get rounder just now and I feel like she's moving up higher so that's good. I hope the anterior placenta isn't in the way for much longer so I can feel stronger kicks!

You must be so tiny cause I was wearing mine around 12 weeks! mostly because I wanted my pants to be so loose in case I feel a flutter!

Mini rant:

I have to go to my husband's best friend's wedding today. I'm so excited for them and can't wait to see them get married, but I am anxious about having to drive everywhere on my own since husband is in wedding party. The wedding is downtown and I hate city driving (I grew up in rural farm land and used to think traffic was when I saw more than two cars on a road). Since I'm pregnant, I've been nominated DD of course and my husband has been volunteering rides to other people after the wedding. I know I'm being selfish, but driving in the city makes me really anxious and driving lots of people makes me anxious and now I'm feeling really anxious about the whole day instead of excited. Ugh.

I have some days of being bigger than others but this was Monday at 18 weeks. I have barely felt any movements so maybe my clothes may be part of the reason.

Campn - you look fab!

Completely understand where your coming from. I get nervous as soon as I have to give people a lift that I don't usually have in my car. I think men are much more confident drivers in situations like that so don't think anything about offering lifts.

Try and stay calm. I'm sure the people who you give a lift will be grateful and won't pay any attention to your driving. Enjoy your day xx

 

[Sweety21]

Campn, they really and specifically don't do gender scan here. And since everything was fine I was called after a month. ofcourse I can go back if I have any issues but, I doubt about they telling me gender in such situation.

On a happy note, I booked my 4Dscan for June 13th. So, excited for that.

Anyone here suffering from sciatic pain here? I have been advised to use belt. Is there anything else I can do to get relief?

 

[campn]

Aman- I would feel the same too hun, I really don't like when someone puts me on the spot and asks me to drive them somewhere, I'm pretty bad with navigation myself and driving in a busy city would make me pretty anxious too considering I've another little soul to worry about.

Maybe ask someone else to drive your car? Is that possible? And it's true guys are just better with things like that. Lucky lucky DNA they've!!!

 

[xanzaba]

First purchase for bubs! Couldn't resist. We're going to look at cribs tomorrow with my mom.

 

[Uni tsi]

This! Exactly this!

 

[amantila]

Everything went fine yesterday! I didn't end up hitting really bad game traffic which I was worried about because it was pretty much gone by the time I left. And the people I drove around were actually really helpful because they know the city a lot better than me so they helped me navigate so that I could avoid bad areas! It all worked out...thanks for the support and dealing with my little rant guys

Xan...I love love love the puppy onesies! So adorable!

At the wedding last night my husband made a two year old friend. He had the little guy cracking up and smiling and it was adorable. Haven't seen him really interact so much with little kids so it was so fun to see and afterwards he said "I'm really excited that we are having a son! I can't wait to meet him!"

 

[MummaMoo]

Amantilia, glad to hear the driving thing wasn't as horrendous as you thought it was going to be. I've only been driving a year and am not confident at all so fully understand your nerves over it.

So today I've been so sore/crampy. It's all around the left side of my bump, sometimes sharp pain, sometimes dull. I don't know whether it's from picking my 2 year old up a lot, or a bit of round ligament pain or what, it's been bloody horrible and I've been a right grumpy cow because of it. Hoping I'll wake up in the morning and it's just disappeared!
