February 2011 babies... Getting to second trimester

[Lulabel27]

Hi All

This is the new thread taking over from "Feb 2011... Where only us and a select few know"

So sad that not everyone will be joining us on the new thread but here's looking to the future and hoping we start to see some lovely scans and good news from everyone in the next month

clerfingers crossed for a girl this time but i know you arent that bothered in will just make a change.I am having my 20 wk scan on 17th and am starting to get scared as they told me at my nt scan it was probably a girl but i know that was very early and could be wrong but i have stupidly set my heart on a pink one cos i have 3 boys already and dd would love a sister,i know i know flame away. I will be fine actually in the end cos will be nice for dh as it will be his only one for sure. Dh hates my boys name Elija but says i can have it if its a boy now.And i will need a new carpet for the nursery as its currently pink.
I have been trying to build up some mat clothes but feel very frumpy and have given up trying to look nice-i am normally dressed to the nines with full make up and good clothes-even went to buy school clothes earlier with no make up on. I think the uggs and tunic or funky dress is a winner for the winter as prof says it hides a multitude.
I ate 4 nectarines in one go earlier. I am sure i will pay for that later but better than being constipated i suppose. Better stay close to home eh?
Lovely to see everyone is feeling ok apart from poor prof. I trained as an rmn prof but they dont teach you much about a.n.d.i will consult my books. Remember tho you have no control over it its not your fault its a chemical thing.

I'm very jealous of those of you looking pregnant! I am 16 weeks today (stats are one day out but can't be bothered to change them!) and I just look fatter! No real bump at all nothing that says I've got a baby inside me! I'm hoping it'll just appear overnight sometime. Also all of my symptoms have gone with exception of eating all the time and being incredibly tired in the afternoons. Very much looking forward to feeling the baby move but at the moment will settle for a bump of sorts :)

40weeks If everything is looking hunky dory I'm planning a homebirth - looked into pool hiring yesterday which was very exciting. I think DH is worried about the kerfuffle (sp?) of having it at home but I think it'll be just lovely.
