So sorry Sonia!! I've just started to feel better in the last week or so. I've lost over 6lbs myself! Hope you feel better soon!!!

My exhaustion/nausea/lack of appetite was worst from 8-12 weeks and then it seemed to disappear overnight. I don't remember when it went away, I just didn't feel nauseous anymore and could stay awake for an entire day (whereas previously, I needed several naps and went to bed early each night.)

I still lack energy/motivation to do much but I don't feel sick and don't need to sleep as much unless Leah's having a growth spurt or something

Omg I just got so much clothing!!! 2 diaper boxes packed full of baby girl clothes for $10

 

[Cowgirl07]

That's awesome!!

Omg I just watched my stomach jump like 10 times!!!!! I think she had hiccups and was kicking at the same time. Lol I just had chili and pie and she started going crazy. I could totally feel it from the outside it was so hard so I started to watch and sure enough the side of my belly started jumping. Right above where she sticks her butt out. It's amazing. I wish DH was awake so he could feel it. He felt it once the other day but nothing since.

Rachel-I don't have your address? Can you pm it to me?
Kara-I have a girl one done but I might wait to mail it until we get a few more scans.

Today I'm having lots of pulling and stretching pains around my pubic bone, thinking it's my uterus working its way up. Did any of you guys get those feeling before your uterus popped up over the bone?

 

[HWPG]

Here it is - it's feeling fo' real!

 

[frsttimemama]

Yayyyyy!!

 

[Cowgirl07]

Awesome Mirolee!!

 

[TTCaWee1]

Thats awesome Mirolee!!

Ashlee, I get a lot of cramping everytime there's a lot of growth. I know for sure I got it around 16 weeks right before my belly really popped.

 

[asmcsm]

Thanks Rachel, baby must really be growing right now because my pelvis has been aching ALL day. It's not necessarily painful, but very irritating because it's uncomfortable. Almost feels kinda like pulled muscles I guess is how I'd explain it

 

[CantHrdlyWait]

Awesome digi pic Mirolee!!!

 

[TTCaWee1]

Yeah I freaked the first couple times I felt it but then every 4 weeks or so I'd get the same feeling and I just chaulked it up to stretching. OB agreed. And after each time, I could tell my uterus had moved higher up. Your uterus is way bigger than baby. It's crazy. I'll have to look it up how big mine is right now....

Does anyone have a SHARP, stab/pulling pain when they try to sit up or laugh too hard etc? I'm sure it's "round ligament pain" but def never had it with Jaxon. Sometimes it randomly happens (usually when I try to use my abs that aren't there anymore LOL) and say OUCH! Hubby thinks I'm crazy/overreacting but it's an intense little stab.. def a muscle or whatnot. So crazy feeling and quite a shock when it happens.

I've also had lots of cervix pain/pressure on my pelvis lately too. Ttly normal, yet annoying and somewhat painful. Also gas pains KILL.. but that may be from my c-section scar inside. I def feel that stretching too, sucks horribly. Thank god my sickness has gone though.. lately I've felt 110% again, finally back to dressing up pretty for work and fixing my hair. Feels good to feel like "me" again. I really feel wonderful, esp with this little belly I've got. My belly button is totally out now, not just when I eat a lot haha.. I'm loving having a little companion, someone to keep me company.. It's not just a tiny bean I daydream about anymore!

Anatomy scan Thursday.. that'll be fun! Life is splendid as of now, really beginning to truly enjoy this pregnancy
(And EATING. A LOT. haha )

Yeah Morgan that sounds like round ligament pain. I get it all the time. Especially when I sneeze.

 

[MrsAmk]

Morgan I get the sudden, sharp pain too when I stretch or sit up out of bed, sort of like doinga crunch. It is like a knife for a split second! I had it last time too.

Well it is definetely confirmed, we are having Silas' little BROTHER!! I was 99% sure, but now I am 100% AND I felt him TWO times! Down low, once right before going into our fun ultrasound. I had just eaten Chipolte lol. Good boy loves it too And when I went and had the ultrasound the guy said, when you do feel this little guy it will be down low because you have an anterior placenta. And thats exactly where I felt him minutes before! Yay!!

On a poop note, we are getting a freaking FOOT of snow between today and Wednesday. I drive 45 minutes to and from work, SO NOT EXCITED to drive in this crap!!

Molly I need your address now too! I didn't want to send anything until you were sure it was a boy.
