June 2013 Thread 3 - the one where we stop throwing up!

[DontmindifIdo]

new June thread - we've been chatting too much!

Think mines asleep most of the time too think I'm feeling her a bit in the evenings which is nice at least to guess that she is

Baby was sleeping at 12 and 20 week too cheeky monkey x

Mine is also a happy sleeper. Nearly 24weeks now and there seems to be a routine starting. Early kicks in the morning, the odd kick during the day (especially If I lean forward at my desk), sometimes a few more kicks at lunch, a couple of kicks between 9-10 pm and then nothing until morning!

I've not felt any definite movements yet (anterior placenta and dc1 so not concerned too much yet) but DH is getting impatient as he wants to feel them! He tries every day bless him but I've told him he's prob got a few weeks wait yet.
At 12 wk scan we had a wriggler which was a pain for measuring NT as he wouldn't stay still. At 20wk scan the opposite, very sleepy and shy. Which is also a problem when they won't move their hand to check the face, or legs scrunched up to check the feet and measure thigh! It required lots of persuasion to get him to move!!

Oh mrsbri I think we best get prepared - couple of live wires!

littlemiss mine (wriggler) kept moving hands in front of parts when sonographer went to them, it was actually quite comical (has obviously inherited my silly sense of humour) and luckily the sonographer was in good spirits! Was like scan peek-a-boo!

I know, forget...think I may spend my maternity leave padding the house out for when baby B gets moving around! Bound to be climbing up and jumping off things sooner rather than later!

Can't wait for my 20 week scan...almost less nervous now, kind of. :-)

Had a lovely scan yesterday, think baby would like to join the acrobatics team, showing off by waving feet above his/her head!

It was amazing to see so much detail, including the heart aww. Congratulations to Looney and forgetmenots on good scan news too. Like you, forgetmenots our little one wasn't very co-operative when it came to the measurements but we got there in the end eventually.

Got to test drive some prams at John Lewis afterwards- think we are leaning towards the iCandy Peach Jogger as we would like something rugged, parent facing and off-roady. Was hoping to be able to buy some cute little items of clothing while at JL but other than some very plain, white baby grows in packs of 5 and one green baby grow with some rather scary looking farm animals on which neither of us liked, everything on display was pink or blue, so went home empty handed (sob)

Congrats on all the great scan news :)

I agree with others about pink/blue stereotyping and also follow the pinkstinks campaign. With DD I dressed her in gender neutral clothes a lot, but must admit I got fed up with people saying "oh what a lovely little boy" or otherwise assuming she was a he. Anyway despite our gender-neutral efforts, as soon as she understood what colours are DD decided her favourites are purple and pink; and now, at nearly 4, she is determined to conform to the princess/fairy stereotype! At least I can say she makes up her own mind about things!

Someone, was it forget, suggested that maybe scans show personality - I've been wondering about that! DD was a real live wire at all scans (and generally in whirling about inside me) and has carried on at the same speed & intensity ever since. This one seems more placid at scans, and in her movements (so far) - does this mean I might get my wish for a calm baby?!

So pleased to hear it lexi :)

This is my first dc dreamydays so i'll have to wait til June to see if the theory pans out :)

Hello, ladies. I do hope you and bumps are all doing well. I know I haven't been on for ages but alas, I am bowing out gracefully. Waters broke again at 20 weeks and little angel Lily was born sleeping last night. Think I'm still in shock it's all happened practically the same as last time again. Think we'll try again one more time. Good luck, everyone, xxx

Oh little I'm so very sorry to hear your news! I hope you have lots of support around x

Little9, I am so so sorry to hear your news x x

Nobody probably remembers me as haven't posted for couple of months, hope everyone else is ok and I will try to keep up a bit more!!

So, so sorry, Little9......stay strong and thoughts are with you.

Little, I am so so sorry, I don't have the words but have had a few tears this morning for you and your angel. X

So sorry to hear your news x

Little9 - so sorry to hear your news. I hope you are being well looked after. x

I'm so sorry for your news, Little. xxx

Oh Little, i am so so sorry. X

So so sorry Little9 xx

Little9, i can not imagine what you are going through, you're in my thoughts, and ill say a prayer for your little angel. x

I'm so sorry, little.

So sad to hear your new stay strong x thinking of you x

So sorry, that's awful. It is so easy to forget what can still happen when you are up to 20 weeks, you think you are out of danger. Thinking of you, at what must be an awful time xxx

So sorry to hear that Little.
Take care of yourself

So sorry to hear such sad news little9. Thinking of you x
