Will be 37 due in April 2016 anyone else?

Aww thanks. I feel huge. I only 5ft1" and small boned so very petite. Think I'll be quite unbalanced soon.

Your tattoo is perfectly placed. Any further forward and it may have stretched out of shape lol.

I too am only 5'1"

Thank you! I love my tattoo, I do have two others that are on my lower belly that stretch but thankfully I have had no stretch marks on them, and I don't think i will this time either as long as I don't get too horribly huge this time around..

Very cute! Am loving the pictures! Mines taken today. 28+ weeks.

I'm 1.60m, so pretty petite as well. Hence carrying outward. I'm not really low on the picture, but little one is always fidgeting under the button belly.
Glad to see your bellies are pretty similar. I'm tired of seeing women that are further along and carry completely different (round or some just tall and baby can hide).

You guys are all so petite! I'm 5'8" and have a long torso so I'm carrying kind of high and flattish. This photo was from last week. I'm measuring on track but my midwife said I'll look smaller because my torso is so long. Lots of room for baby to stretch out, I guess!

Qmama i am carrying out and high...as my ribs are not happy and neither is my back. I have been about the size I was just before delivering with my last. Here is a pic from just after christmas.....

I feel a lot bigger today will have post a pic soon!!

I didn't realize that one of the pics is from 2014!! Indeed, you're same size. Let's hope our babies now can grow while our bellies are staying more or less the same. I avoided stretch marks last time, but not too sure I can this time!!

 

[allforthegirl]

Qmama yeah sorry, the other one is at 39-40 weeks with my last so I am feeling very large.

You all look great!! But yes us short ladies do seem to stick out tons. Penelope I still think you bump is very cute. Would have been nice have a smaller belly

 

[penelopejones]

Thanks! This is my picture from my first pregnancy at 25 weeks--I think my boobs were bigger that time (with a girl). I referred to this as my "egg on legs" stage.

Hope everyone is having a relaxing weekend! I managed a nap today while DD was sleeping but I'm starting to get the supersonic mommy hearing... I kept thinking I heard her waking up and talking, so I'd wake up, but it was actually either nothing or kids playing outside or something. Anyone else have this? I remember after my daughter was born I felt like I could hear a pin drop anywhere in the house.

 

[allforthegirl]

I have had that for ever!! It has slowly just been a bit better, but who knows it may come back full throttle. Though since my LO sleeps with a noise maker in our room I find that helps drown out all the other noises so I can sleep.

 

[Bekah78]

Curious to see if I get that too. We love in the country side and only one house next door which is currently empty so it's very quiet here.

Loving the bump pics too.

Managed to put the cot bed and the drawer unit together yesterday. Will wait till I have help to put the wardrobe together. Nursery coming along though. Feels good to be doing something to prepare for bumps arrival.

I had that super hearing and woke up all the time. Then I lost my hearing on my right side last January & it was bliss fr sleeping. I sleep on left side. My OH is a light sleeper & he wld nudge me if son woke up. Now, with this pregnancy, I've regained my hearing (even though specialist told me it was permanent) & I'm pretty happy to hear again. LO sleeps like a block now though so I don't need it yet. I just hope my hearing & vertigo issues don't come back in last trimester. Last pregnancy, my last trimester was what set of severe ear-issues that basically lasted about 2.5 years...

This time the first trimester was horrid with vertigo, second trimester now was great & I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the Third will be uneventful til 38 weeks!!! (And that my inner ear issues remain at bay).

We've decided to move our son to another room & use his room as a nursery until littlest boy can join his brother in the bunk bed (that oh wants to build himself...). Then we'll put the boys together fr sleeping & they'll have a seperate room dedicated to play & games. Their bedroom will be a quiet room fr study, reading & sleeping. When they reach the teens, we can reconsider again.

My OH is a prosponer though, so I'm sure it won't get ready in time. And I'm trying to not get wound up already... Breath in Breath out Breath in Breath out x 654.

Oh and euhm... Forget what I said about LO hanging out low... He must have heared me and decided today to check out the space above my belly button. I get really freaked a bit when he makes big moves in my belly. It really is unsettling and I have NO idea which body part is which! How can you tell. I've read a bit at the website spinning babies, but he's everywhere & I just don't know!

Sorry fr my rambling...

 

[allforthegirl]

My DH is a major procrastinator so things don't get done either.....though we have hit a snag as we just don't have the money to fix up the basement bedroom. So I just have to bite my tongue and say nothing. Though it has only been almost 4 yrs now....

Subsequent babies can move up and down, specially if you have a longer torso you will notice a big difference in where they can sit. The way I can tell is if I can eat one day or not. When he is high no such luck, when he is low I am starving

I hope you get a break & win the lottery & then you can hire someone to do it fr you. Mine is all about diy & how-to videos on YouTube. I hate it. He starts but doesn't finish. I'm playing the lottery... In order to win enough to fix our place fr once & fr all! It's not too bad, but too much to do fr 1 person (who hates asking fr help).

Picture taken this Tuesday.

You are too cute and tiny for a FTM!!

So the lottery has just hit 1.3 billion dollars... OMG all the possibilities!! I have a better chance of becoming the president of the United States and an even better chance of being struck by lightening... But I am telling you if I even won a few million I have it all mapped out in my mind lol. So I tried to uploat a picture from my phone and it says it too big!!

hahahahahaha Yes I would love to win the lotto and just hire someone. That would be awesome!!

We prefer to do the work ourselves too. But either way it always costs money!!

 

[Bekah78]

Think it's easier for us to plan nursery etc as we've been trying for so long and we have no other children to consider. Are you finding your men are less motivated as its not the first?

With DH being disabled I have to do the work myself. I prefer that to getting someone in to do it. In a closest interior designer and would be too critical of someone else doing the work.

Tried to put the wardrobe together to find the top part is damaged. Replacement on its way, but not being delivered till the 22nd so I've put together as much as I can and will finish it off when delivery arrives. Mamas and Papas were great. They just send out a replacement part, but as no spares in their what's house they are sending a replacement box which means we will get a spare drawer unit too.
