Well it must be update time!! (i just want to see more piccies of all these beautiful bumps and babies)

OK well we only have 7 and a bit weeks till we fly out to Oz!!! We had to go to London to get Bellas Oz passport, well apply for it anyway, it should arrive in a couple of weeks. Weve been sorting out all our stuff to move. We are only allowed 20kg of luggage each and Bella 10. how rubbbish, we are shipping some stuff over though.

Bella is doing great, my little chunka girl, she put on 8oz this week, double what she has been putting on normally. On Weds, she weighed 7lb12oz. She is smiling so much more, her longest sleep is at night, usually 5 hours, then she wakes for a feed and sleeps again for a couple of hours. She is becoming very chatty and seems very playful too. She just melts my heart everyday. When shes sleeping I want to pick her up and squeeze her, lol

I got a moby wrap this week, have been practising loads at home but it will take more practise before i take it out to use it. Bella is such a fidget, she doesnt make it easy to put her in. anyway heres a few recent pics, managed to get a pic of her smiling, YAY!!

Awwww she is so adorable!!! I love her smile!!!

I just updated my 'bump' pic in my journal. I am doing well, m/s is starting to kick in. Its off and on all day, but usually when I make myself eat (if I happen to have a nauseau spell) I dont feel so bad. I am also tired as crap today! I think I am just ready for the weekend. Oh I did attempt to get in to an earlier appt (than my 7 week on the 15th....which they think is 8 weeks b/c of the start of my period, but I O'd late) without any success. I think that is God's way of saying 'Be Patient'. My MIL blabbed our news to the whole family, so I just went ahead and started openly telling family, but will wait to tell friends. I am pretty upset she did this after I found out she was basically telling her family that she was NOT happy about our situation and said she didnt want to watch our baby, but she can watch my SILs.....not that I want someone to watch our baby who really doesnt want to.....KWIM? Ok, I am going to stop....this is NOT my journal!

[MommaLee]

She is so adorable Emma!

[Christine-MA]

She is so gorgeous!

I will be 28 weeks tomorrow. I'll take a pic. I scheduled a 3d ultrasound on Tuesday night, I can't wait to share the pics!

I had a doctor appointment this week and my due date got moved up to January 15th so I am almost 25 weeks. Baby Connor is moving like crazy and sometimes he even wakes me up in the night kicking.

I haven't been feeling real well. I still have the sciatica and now I have started throwing up again! I think it's just a new wave of hormones. My mom said she stayed sick on and off almost until she delivered.

I only gained 1/2 a pound since my last visit so I was very proud of myself. I've been trying not to go crazy with the sweets and junk. My best friend recently got engaged and I will be her matron of honor less than 2 months after giving birth. That doesn't give me enough time to lose all the baby weight so I'm trying to make wise choices.

Today is my 100 day mark!!!!!!! It is so crazy that I'll be in the double-digit countdown starting tomorrow. I feel and see baby all the time now, as does DH. It's a constant source of entertainment to lift my shirt and watch my belly jiggle. Feeling great and looking forward to my first baby shower, which is only a week away. We have GOT to get moving on getting the nursery together, but it has been tough because my schedule does not mesh at ALL with DH (he's in retail and works a lot of nights and weekends, whereas I have a 9-5 job). But once we start getting gifts, especially the big stuff, we'll regret not having the room painted, so I know we have to stop making excuses and just find time to do it.

In other news, we took what will probably end up being our final vacation before baby last weekend - went to San Fran to visit DH's sis and her hubby. It was a ton of fun, and I finally got to wear my new Cardinals future fan shirt to a baseball game! (Granted, it was a Giants-Cubs game, but hey, a game is a game, right? Plus, you know, boo Cubs...) Here is a pic:



That's about it for now! Just looking forward to continued good health and spirits!

[Banned-Jaylas_Mommy]

i love all the pics!

Jayla is 8 days old today! i cant believe it already! time is going by way too fast. she is just a perfect little angel! she sleeps really well at night for the most part. usually wakes up long enough to eat and goes back to sleep. 2 nights ago was h*ll though. she just would not sleep in her crib.

but every baby has their moments right! she sleeps pretty much all day. i try to keep her awake for a little bit before bed time so she sleeps good but its hard right now cause shes still so sleepy all the time.

i just posted new pictures but iwill put one up in here.

[chloe12]

I don't post much, mainly just lurk - but thought I'd show off my belly!

I'm now feeling great, up until 14 weeks, I was pretty sick and very tired. I'm feeling quite a few flutters and 2 days ago got a couple kicks/jabs that startled me. Very cool feeling! I have my next ultrasound on Oct. 30th, hopefully baby continues to be healthy and well and cooperates with showing us the gender. (I'm thinking we have a little boy in there, we'll see!)

[LindsLuvsSi]

Zane's 8 months. His 3rd tooth broke thru. Poor lil guy. Recent pics in my siggy!

[Sam914]

11 1/2 weeks for me!

I post all the time about random stuff but in a nutshell I have my NT scan on the 8th which i'm getting very nervous about and i faild my 1 hour sugar test so i have to do the three hour!

[samspain]

Ana is 6 months today, and a little whirlwind!.
Shes 13.5lb, we get weighed again this week, I´m hoping for 14lb!. She is now full on crawling and can get to crawling from sitting. She also started pulling herself up to stand this week. Still bf and starting to give her more than a taste of solids. She has 2 full teeth and there are 2 bottom and 2 top teeth right there.
And we´ve finally found a playdate that has asked us to repeat, normally the mothers get neurotic and scoop up there LO when Ana starts to crawl over them!. Izan´s mum hoped Ana would spark him into movement as he´s 4 months and 20lb!!

[Jodi0804]

I will be 32 weeks on Tuesday and can't believe its starting to come to an end. I am still enjoying being pregnant and hope it stays that way for a few more weeks!
31 week belly

I'm 9 weeks pregnant today! I can't believe it - I'm thankful for each day. My clothes are a bit snug and I have started to wear some mat stuff.

I have my next appt w/ my doc on the 14th. I hope to have my first u/s shortly after.

[fromustobaby]

I'm 18 weeks tomorrow - I can't believe how fast the second trimester is going by!
Got my Level II U/S on Thursday, and everything looks great...
AND, we found out that we are having a little BOY!!

Starting to get more and more excited to meet the little guy

[samspain]

OK, got the camera organised!

Here she is crawling, she was so pleased with herself!


Not content with crawling, she now wants to creep around the furniture!


And after the cat, the second biggest incentive is the remote control!!


She is a monster and keeps me 110% on my toes!

[amazing_love]

I'm 11 weeks pregnant today! I took a belly pic yesterday and will post it soon. Nothing really exciting going on except we'll be telling the family in a week!

[Oreobaby]

I'm rejoining your girls cautiously and praying for a sticky bean. I have convinced DH that we should be telling a ton of people, so basically you are the only ones that know right now girls!! Hope my secret is safe with you!!

[Gray_baby]

I'm 32 weeks pregnant and I can't believe it - sometimes it feels like just yesterday that I got my BFP!!!! I updated my belly pics in my DDC belly pic section at 31 weeks, so far I haven't added my 32 week pic.

We have the major furniture, though the crib is still in pieces, and hopefully we'll get the glider sometime before our LO arrives. The one I want is at Babies R Us but the closest store is in Mobile which is over an hour away and my DH is super busy studying for his board exam so we won't be going that way for awhile. I have a list of all the things we still need to buy, mainly small things like more diapers and some clothes, and having that list completed has made me feel more organized.

Physically I'm feel pretty good. I've had some problems with my feet thanks to plantar faciitis because my body isn't handling the extra weight - my arches are strained and I had to get better arch supports for my shoes. I have trouble rolling over in bed now, it's a big production that requires elbows and legs to get the process completed! I can't eat big meals or a lot 6 or 7 at night because if I do I get reflux or feel pressure at the bottom of my throat. Not fun.

My mom is coming into town later this month and I'm sooooooo excited! She's going to stay 7 full days while my DH is out of town and she's going to help me get everything organized and cleaned. And she's agreed to make me some of her chili - I can't wait!

Whew! Long update . . . sorry about that!

I love reading everyone's updates!

[Celry]

the girls are 7 weeks old and finally down to 2 feeds per night each. i almost feel human since i'm sleeping again. it's amazing what 5-6 hours of sleep can do. they are smiling at people, which of course is the cutest thing.

the girls are starting to get some cheeks


me with both of them and one of my cats. he's always around when i feed.

[ca_dawson]

I'm mostly lurking these days because I'm trying to get through my last semester of nursing school! But so far so good! I'm coming up on 11 weeks! I feel pretty good most of the time. I enjoy being pregnant so far! Peeing all the time is a bit of an annoyance, but I'll get over it! My jeans that fit well before are now beginning to squeeze the life out of me! But I have a few pairs of jeans that were too big before that I've been wearing. My next appt is coming up on the 14th. I have my NT ultrasound that day as well. I can't wait to find out the sex of the baby and start to feel movement! But school has been keeping me busy enough to keep my mind off things! I'll try to get some updated belly pics up, but DH is getting off work early today so we can go shopping and get me some maternity clothes! I do need to do a bit of studying before he gets home so trying to catch up here, but not sure how much time I will have! I hope everyone is doing great!
