Im loving feeling this LO swimming around now!! I feel like its my little special secret right now as majority of the kicks you cant see on my tummy yet, it's just so sweet. I know it will be even sweeter when my boys can feel it and see it too. Sorry just having a mushy moment I wanted to share

I love feeling the movement too, i sometimes find myself poking him to get a reaction haha, DP felt it for the first time yesterday

Oh that's lovely Cinss! My dh isn't patient enough but right now its really hit and miss for me since most are just flutters atm. I know ds1 is excited to feel it.

[hotdogz&boyz]

I am still very excited for you BImby!! I think it's all pink as well. But I know that feeling of waiting and being anxious about it. I was nervous and nuts the morning of! We will be waiting for your news

My anatomy scan went good. Baby is still all girl (I asked to see it twice and the tech was so sweet telling me how she understood why I didn't believe it, that her good friend is doing the same thing having a girl after three boys. She did say that all the wrong guesses she had ever heard (that she hasn't been wrong in years) were from inexperienced techs who had a 2-second window of a shot to make a determination. She assured me that she has seen her parts MANY times and nothing is growing. Same one as the one at 16 weeks, she has 20 years of experience in nothing but OB/GYN). So yeah, even I could see on the DVD that nothing was there. I saw lines, lines, and more lines. Lol. Baby is measuring perfect for gestation, which is new for me. My boys were quite big at this point (a good 2-8 days larger). Her heartbeat was 161 and she weighs 10oz. She gave gorgeous medical shots, measurements and such, but the stinker would not give us a profile picture at all. She kept staring at the probe in that "thundercat" pose. She is gonna be nosy. Doc said everything looked fabulous, no concerns at all. So I am a very happy camper right now. I think it suddenly is sinkng in even more.

I am feeling regular movement now, daily. She likes nighttime (like evenings) and 4am...when I am up. She is quiet in the mornings. I only feel movement on my lower right area right underneath my belly button. And the far, far left corner. My placenta covers pretty much all of the left side and her head is located far right (arms are giving me movement in right belly button area). So it's neat to relate all of it to her moving around in there. I love when others can start to feel, but she is not the strong yet. Anyone else noticing movement patterns?

Oh, NYE, we are doing a party at a friends house. Wild and crazy! Lol. We take the kids, do fireworks, and everyone is gone and likely in bed by 10pm It's fun though. I love the group. I'll hit up the apple cider instead of anything else this year!

I feel bubs move after meals maybe the full stomach has something to do with it, or he just likes food time haha. Well i got roped into babysitting on NYE, so we will just watch the fireworks and have an early night. Its a 6 year old boy who we are sitting so i am interested to see how DD gets along with him

[Bimby]

Thanks Hotdogz So happy your scan went well, it must be a relief to hear. I know thats what Im looking forward to hearing the most

This one moves after food too. I notice when Im squashing him/her in the morning in bed and then throughout the day after food. I feel it mainly on my left side and sometimes middle and low. Last scan my placenta was all across the front but bulkier on the left. Wondering if thats changed by the time I have my next scan...

Sorry I've been all but absent lately! I've been following along, but haven't had time to post. Seems everyone had a great holiday!
Bimby--I am so excited for your scan! I just looked at your 12 week scan photos again, and I am as close to 100% as I can be that you are carrying a little girl. I know it will be so reassuring to find out for sure. I have my anatomy scan the same day, and I'm still a bit apprehensive that the first sonographer was wrong. I've watched the DVD, and baby moves so fast, you couldn't really see a steady potty shot for more than a second or two. So we shall see!
Hotdog--congrats on the great results of your anatomy scan! And we will probably be in bed by 10 pm on NYE too. :-P
Oh, btw, I've been following June/July/August ladies also now, stalking the gender reveals--ha. Isn't it amazing how many twins they have had in that group?! Even though some unfortunately haven't fared well, it's still quite remarkable. Alright, that's all from me for now. Happy New Year's, ladies!!

Sounds like a fab scan, congrats Hotdogz!!

Bimby~ I'm jealous of your weather! Mmmm, BBQ is one of my cravings at the moment, I need to find a good place to go get some until warmer weather comes back. Enjoy!

5-6am little one wakes up and moves for awhile, gets quiet for a couple of hours and then starts again after I eat breakfast. Same as others have said, moves after every meal. I love it!

Anyone know a good fruity mocktail recipe I could use tonight?? Making Hamburgers on the BBQ with fruity mocktails for me and the kids Im actually excited for it lol

[Rosie85]

Last night I had a peach drink, it had peach nectar and I think peach juice concentrate or maybe it was pineapple juice?? It was all mixed with a ginger ale. Very tasty! Also a sprite/7 up goes well with strawberry and lemonade!

I used to make a drink that is a can of frozen lemonade, cut up strawberries, ice, sugar to taste, and vodka... But I'm sure it would be just as yummy without the vodka! And now I want some lol!
