And dare I say, I'm starting to enjoy it? We've found out the gender, telling family at Christmas (it's 💙, coz hello secret keepers in my phone), starting to show now and enjoying not worrying about my belly showing, even bought a pretty twisty fronted jumper today that shows it off. Noticed today that if I press my tummy, my belly button pops out, and as silly as that sounds, it's really amused me. I feel like I'm starting to get the better side of it now rather than the secrecy, uncertainty, etc? Over half way there so feeling like there is a light at the end of the tunnel, which I know sounds ambitious but the first trimester was looooong and even till very recently, after I miscarried at 16 weeks last year, I've still been very "we'll see" about the whole thing.

Anyway, rambling, anyone else feeling like me? 💙

I get you! I'm 23 weeks on Saturday with a lovely 💙 and starting to feel the same way after 2 16 week losses last year. I'll never relax fully, and counting down until he's "viable" but I'm starting to imagine that I might actually bring a baby home in the spring!
I think we should enjoy this little oasis of calm

Wow, you must really have been anxious this time! Cheers to a bumpy Christmas and week 24 🎄 xx

I'm with you! I'm 24+3 and starting to enjoy it, relaxing a little... Especially as she's now viable and beats me up daily 🤣. I had a loss at 14 weeks in January so think I might finally be far enough past that to believe now. Will start looking to buy her stuff in January sales as I haven't had the courage besides a couple of little outfits so far!
