TTC and Beyond!

I am glad she is okay Nikki! She is just getting ready for her grand appearance!
 
Oh i'd be pissed too!! My mom has told a couple of our family members that I didn't want to know yet. I was like "Mom!!!!" I mean my mom is still going on about HOW EARLY it is (i'm 8+1).. LOL
 
Glad to hear all is well Nikki- I just can't wait to see that precious face!!!!! <3

And ohmagawsh Ashlee.. yeah my MIL did the same.. lol I could have smacked her. Always wished it wouldn't be the classic MIL situation- but sure is turning out to be! :dohh: (she's great and all.. just the control-freak, says how she feels without thinking first type lol)
 
What about everyone else?? Have you guys felt any noticeable movements???
Nothing super noticeable...10 weeks I felt what was like one of them turning over or something. Very strange feeling. More recently I've felt a few lumps where baby b likes to move and sometimes I feel what I am assuming are kicks. I can't wait for the wrestling match that will soon take place...lol

Waves-I hope everything is ok! Definitely need to see the doc though! I'm jealous you are feeling her move so much though!

Nikki-Glad she's ok! Sounds like you are ready for her...as soon as she is developed enough anyway :) I can't wait for our baby showers!

Morgan-We have already agreed to go shopping after our ultrasound on the 23rd, can't wait!

We bought paint this weekend and DW started taping off the room. We should have it painted soon! There is just so much to do! Pick a doula, pick a pediatrician, pick a daycare, pick a newborn photographer...and we are getting ready to meet with the lawyer to set up adoption papers for DW and to start working on a will. Plus we still have to register and prepare the baby room and clean the guest room...aaaahhhhh!!!! lol
 
Waves-I hope everything is ok! Definitely need to see the doc though! I'm jealous you are feeling her move so much though!

Aw well I don't feel her move nearly as much as others who are as far along as me. Stupid placenta :(
 
Cute bump Julie! I must say I'm kinda freaked out by the list of stuff to do you posted....ahhhhhhh! So much to do! Luckily my sister does newborn photography so I've got that one checked off....

How much weight have you all gained? I gained like 4 pounds in the last 2 weeks....I can't see it anywhere but in my belly though so I guess that's good. DH is noticing my belly more and says it grows every day. I feel baby move every day too. I think it's more tumbling and rolling than anything since it's still so small to feel kicks. Oh yeah and I have a confession.....I think we are having a girl. I let one of the docs look at baby the other day and I peeked and saw what looked like a cheeseburger....he knows the sex but knows I don't want to know without DH so he's sworn to secrecy. I didn't tell DH about the u/s bc I don't want to accidentally know its a girl...if it even is. Grrr wish I didn't look!!! But he said all looks well and baby looks nice and healthy. Heart looked good. He looked for a long time at everything. And he's an ultrasound guru. Part of his specialty, so I feel pretty comfortable relaxing a bit. I can't wait until my scan! 2 weeks! I'm going home on Saturday for 5 days so that will help pass the time.

Well hope you are all doing well!!
 
Eeeeeeek if you saw what looked like a cheeseburger i'm going to say girl too!!!! Lol How exciting!!!!!

How much weight have you all gained?

I'm going to do my own newborn pictures but think I'm going to have our wedding photographer do a shoot as well :) We'll see though because she's an on-location photographer and we don't have a nursery as of right now (no plans to have one) so a shoot in our home wouldn't necessarily work. And I think March will be too cold to do an outdoor session but we'll see. I'm definitely going to have her do a maternity shoot for us I think. If this is my last pregnancy, I want some great pictures to look back on since I don't have many from previous pregnancies, you know?

At my 20 week appointment I'd gained 12 lbs total. I go back on the 22nd so we'll see where my weight gain is at then. Our digital scale broke and we haven't replaced it but I'm dying to know where my weight is now. I want to gain, gain, gain.
 
I've gained 8 pounds so far at 18 weeks. Is that about normal or too much?
 
My best friend had gained 8lbs at her 12wk aappt. So youre good :) lol
 
Wow Julie..... and it begins ;) I can't believe how it has popped! My goodness I just can't imagine what a wrestling match would feel like either! So exciting. What colors did you pick for paint?

And Waves- We won't have a nursery either until our lease is up and we find somewhere else. I started my registry and picked out a beautiful bassinet that sings, vibrates, rocks, has a mobile, and a storage bin on the bottom. It is so sweet, thought it'd be perfect for beside our bed. It's nice not having to worry about furniture though.. and we have plenty of bottles and binky's, and just plan to get a girlie carseat cover for Jaxon's carseat. It's nice not needing much.

Also gonna try the BumGenius All-in-Ones (we still have a million newborn diapers too just in case). Anyone have any insight on those?

P.s. Feeling lots of movement this morning.. just finished a peppermint hot chocolate maybe that is the culprit, little Marley has a sugar rush lol. Loving the snow, even though I'm sure it'll be melted by noon. We jammed to christmas music on the radio on the way to work this morning and the trees iced over just look beautiful! I'm so ready for the Holidays!! :)
 
Julie, you def popped! What a cute baby bump! Are you feeling anything yet?

Rachel, I cant wait to see what the baby is! I have been team boy all along but wouldnt be surprised by a girl!

Ash, a prenatal massage sounds amazing. Glad you got some relax and some time for you :)

NIkki, how scary but so glad that Alia is well! Has our present arrived yet?

Love the bum genius! I like the 4.0's a lot more than the all-in-ones just because I feel that they are easier to clean, you can double stuff them easier, and they're less bulky. I do like all the bum genius products though, except the flip. the're really terrible and leak a ton. If you do buy them, get them from cottonbabies.com. tons of good deals! If you buy a certain amount you get a certain amount free. Plus free inserts, etc.
