I also went through and made a map of where everyone is in relation to eachother.

I look a little lonely over in my part! Daphne, maybe you should move here instead! Stay safe. Glad to hear you're both being sensible about moving if needed.

Actually you, me and Pam look so isolated. DH actually have a cousin living there who is pregnant with her 3rd DD due in September. Maybe you two could be friends... She's married to an Australian guy.

I will Michelle. I have a feeling he'll be here between 39 and 40 weeks. I could be wrong and DH might get it right again (like the gender) as he thinks he will come out after 40w or 40w6d to be exact...

It's coming around so quickly. Hard to believe you'll have your little bundle in your arms so soon

I think countdown started to speed up again . Today marks my last day of work and have 18 days left til 18th of June the real countdown begins


As for symptoms, still having the same pain in my lower back, lower abdomen, pelvis pain (pressure) and swollen feet. I got scared again last night when something just punched (put heavy pressure) my pelvis and it was painful & unexpected i had to scream. It was like somebody came out behind the door and scared me to death that kind of surprise. Told DH that i feel like something is going out down there like maybe my waters going to explode in a moment. DH was calm and we waited if something will happen, nothing. Guess getting closer to D-day makes me wonder in every bits of symptoms i may experience.

Found something that supports 39w as full-term.

A newborn is more likely to be healthy if the mom's pregnancy lasts at least 39 weeks, according to a wealth of recent research.

Doctors typically refer to "term" or "full term" as the period from 37 weeks to 41 weeks, but it may be time for a change, according to commentary in the journal Obstetrics & Gynecology. Babies who are born between 37 weeks and 39 weeks have a higher risk of health problems and delays in reaching developmental milestones.

In fact, a recent study of 400,000 Scottish children found a higher rate of learning disabilities in kids born at this stage of gestation, PLOS Medicine reports.

The authors of the commentary suggest calling the 37-to-39-week time period "early term," which would denote the risks, and reserving the designation "full term" for 39 to 40 weeks' gestation.

That's the only thought that is keeping me going. Don't know how I'm going to handle 2 young children (the others go to school 8:45-3:15), and Luca while being pregnant. It's going to be a tough couple of weeks while we all get back in to a routine.

We're off for another walk today. Yesterday was 3 miles, all up hill. Definitely not fun with a big ol' belly and carrying Luca at the same time. Fingers crossed it doesn't rain!!

Thats interesting about 39+ weeks truly being full term. Aiden was born at 40wk3d. He made us wait! Lol.

 

[mdscpa]

I can wait til 40w. Beyond that i'll be pulling my hair out one by one...

 

[aidensmommy1]

Lol, when I got to 39 weeks, I was BEGGING them to induce me!! I loved being pregnant...I just wanted to meet him so badly! I was more then ready! It was once my EDD came and went and no labor yet, I reallyyy started to get anxious! I hope our LO this time around comes the day before her/his EDD . Then we'll just barely beat Aiden's "fathers" birthday by a day, since right now our EDD is right on his birthday. What are the odds?! Lol. And aidens first guess EDD based on my LMP was originally January 27th as well! I dont know what's up with that time of year! Lol. And I def hope your LO doesn't make you wait longer then 40wks either! I need to see his handsome little face no more then 18 days from now!!

I was looking at a Chinese gender calendar today and it was actually right for aiden when I looked back at the age of 18 and its saying girl for this time around. It was also right for my BFF, I just saw, so maybe it is a girl! Kenna and I compared mine with her early u/s earlier and they were both to the same side of the pic. So far that's 2 old wives tales that match up. I'll let u know if I run into any others that match up lol. Its fun stuff to look at while your waiting to really find out. I'm waiting to see if my feeling on having a girl will change in a couple/few weeks. Right now I'd bet money on it, lol.

Happy 19 Weeks Kristy!

You started this IVF, BFP with some weird date coincidences so maybe it's right again with meeting you LO on your EDD My earliest scan showed Adam on the left side of the sac on the picture though...

Here's the picture we got not to clear though but you can see the baby inside... Put a 3D picture as well at that stage. Noticed how small the sac was compared to your picture? Can't wait to see your next scan to really confirm it's one.

Kenna said hers was smaller too! Maybe there is 2 in there! Lol. I didn't feel sick with aiden and since yesterday, I feel like I'm going to throw up every 5 minutes, except I dont actually have to... I never felt like this with Aiden. And maybe there were 2 HBs and thats why I saw flickers, lol. Only 10 more days and we'll really know!

Also, I didn't ask my u/s tech which side was which and you really can't be sure of which angle the wand was looking at everything unless asking the tech and my 2 pics both look a bit different so I'm wishing I had asked her now but I wasn't aware of the ramzi method at that time. They say u can still tell as long as its less then 8wks along so hopefully ill be able to get an answer of which side the babys truly on at my 7wk scan.

36 Weeks done and dusted

I had my baby shower yesterday and tons of fun was had The treats were made by my mom and sister down to the last detail. They are soooo creative. Lunch was various breads and my favourite butternut soup.

Some pics of gifts opening - didn't want to spam you ladies with every pic that was taken.... would be here for hours

https://i.imgur.com/sBv4rPJ.jpg

My nursery was pretty much ready before we had the last shower and I just had to get the pressies, wash them and be sorted... I was wrong. It has been declared a disaster zone now Will start on the laundry tomorrow and order will be restored once I can pack everything away.

Here are some gifts that we got - combination of my going away party at work and the baby shower yesterday.

My friend sent a box of clothing for me. I only unpacked and took pics of the 0-3 months and the 3-6 has gone into "storage" under the crib.

First pic: Bibs and hats

https://i.imgur.com/X61OksT.jpg

Warm blankets, receiving blankets and hooded towels. The elephant one is a plush blanket for baby to use as a comforter. It is sooooooooo soft

https://i.imgur.com/MKzzupk.jpg

Burp cloths, Baby's 1st year journals, bottles and the giraffe thingy is a bean bag that you warm up in the microwave and can put it in baby's crib to warm it up before you put them in later

https://i.imgur.com/NXGv8H1.jpg

I joked about this being baby's breastfeeding pillow because it looks like a mini version of the big one I have to breast feed
Anyway it's a pillow to put under their head in the car seat to keep their airways open

https://i.imgur.com/rip1FfI.jpg

These pictures don't actually show how much clothes there are. Newborn & 0-3 months. I had to fold and stack things like the vests, warm tops, pants etc. to fit all into one pic.

Some more diapers in the diaper cake as well and then baby and mommy toiletries

https://i.imgur.com/OBCXAwI.jpg

How awesome is this matching mommy and baby pj's??? Gown and babygrow. The babygrow is sooooo cool that I might just use it as his going home outfit
