Yes- pictures please!

I'm not feeling very great today. As much as I usually love movement today I feel like I'm being pummeled from the inside- I'd really like him to take a nap and stop using my tummy as a punching bag.

 

[DaisyBee]

Thanks everyone! I'll try to get pics on...maybe this evening after Megan goes to bed. It's been just crazy around here! My dad has been requesting pics too. Lol

 

[Lily_Hope]

I had my second scan today! 9 weeks and growing perfectly. )

Lily- glad everything is looking good for you!

I have my 24 wk check up this afternoon... I can't believe 6 months already!!

 

[mirage25]

Lily that's great!!

How's everyone? Time is flying by for all of us!

I'm begining to think 2012 is a baby boom year, lol.

I'm not 100% sure but I swear I felt a little quickening action 2day after breakfast!!! I'm so excited!!24 days till we find out if its a boy/girl!!

Yay Mirage- that's awesome!

I love feeling baby move - I think it is one of the best things I've ever experienced. I know if there is anything I would miss about being pregnant that feeling the life inside me would be it. It makes me smile each time he wiggles around and it's even more amusing when I can see my belly move with him too.

Mirage - awesome you are feeling the baby now! It felt like muscle twitches to me right away
I can feel them now and see it happen sometimes too

Future- how was your appt? Are you taking glucose test soon? Mine is next week.

Congrats lily! Happy to hear about your good scan!

Daisy- I cant believe you are home with the new baby, seems like it went so quick

 

[DaisyBee]

I agree ... All of your pregnancies seem to be going so quick! I look at your tickers and think I must have read it wrong and do a double take. Lol

Sorry I haven't gotten pics on yet... Way less time right now with a toddler and a baby. Very different than when it was just baby. I have been feeling rough this week as well. It was a harder labor than megans and just wiped me out. My spd is still really bothering me. And I'm having major blood pressure issues. I went into the er today with it as was concerned. I didn't feel good all weekend and I think it was my bp. It's higher now than during pregnancy. They think it's the hormones and stress on my body of haiving the baby. I have an appt with internal medicine... Hopefully they get it figured out so I can concentrate on just being a mom!

Cngrats about the scan lily!

Mirage.. How exciting!!!

Hopeful... So fun to see the movements isn't it!?

Future... Hopefully baby stops using you as a punching bag! Lol

Kate.. When are you moving?

 

[hopeful23456]

Daisy- I couldn't imagine the work involved with a toddler and baby. They say twins is easier than having 2 that are close in age. Hope your bp goes down and you feel better!

Hopeful- it was good, everything is going well. I'll be doing the glucose test at 28 weeks - so I've got about 4 more weeks till I have to do that.

Daisy-

I think I must have been in a really bad mood that day, lol. Really I love feeling him move. Today he's being super wiggly, but it isn't bothering me. It makes me feel a little tired though. I'm excited for the work day to be over so I can go home and lay down!

So.... I think we've settled on our boy name for sure now. Bennett Richard.

Bennett means "blessing" which we truly feel he is and Richard is after my DH's uncle who passed a number of years ago in a car accident to honor him. There is also a Richard on my side (a cousin) so it has a tie to my family too.

So happy to have this decided. We're keeping it a secret from our family/friends until he's born though!

I think we'll still try to come up with a girl name in case there is a surprise though.

 

[hopeful23456]

I like the name future!

 

[mirage25]

Daisy I hope ur managing 2 get some rest & feeling better!

Future I love the name, sounds like an actors name!

 

[Lily_Hope]

Great name Future!

I haven't told anyone yet that I'm pregnant and we're heading home next week for a week to spend time with our families (I live overseas). I'll be 10-11 weeks...do you think its safe enough to tell everyone the news? My scan at 9 weeks looked perfect. We'll definitely tell our parents but there will also be a lot of extended family around (Aunts and Uncles) and I'm not sure if I want everyone to know yet till we have our 12 week scan.

How long did you all wait?

 

[mirage25]

After my 9 wk scan went well we told every1 about a wk later. We planned to wait until 12 but it just felt ok to tell every1 (if that makes sense).

 

[DaisyBee]

How fun to have a name picked future! Very nice!

We told parents before our scan as we would tell them if miscarried anyway. We waited until after our early scan at 8+3 ( I think??) to tell other family members. But we weren't having a 12 week scan. I did end up with a spur of the moment scan at 12 weeks because the dr couldn't find the heartbeat with her Doppler ( she was looking in the wrong spot ) so she got out the scanner.

I think when you see everyone in person would be a great time to tell them! If it were me... Thats what I would do....
