CTinNV

Hello, lovely 2nd tri ladies! This is my last week in our little club before I graduate to my 3rd and final trimester!

No medical updates to report. Things are going well. In other news, right on cue, my insomnia has set in. The little man is bouncing around in there, and we've started to put together the nursery!

AdorkablePixie

Not much going on with me.

kaitielynnrichardson

16 weeks tomorrow and already feeling the LO move around in there!! It's incredible, although DH thinks it's weird. I'm sure he will be excited once he's able to feel the movement too!!

Next check up is January 4th.

Hope you all have a happy new year!!

KidShrink

Hi ladies! Not much going on here except for crazy busy holidays! Our little guy is not here yet but already getting ridiculously spoiled! I'm 22 weeks now and have my next OB appointment on January 4 too.

krbjoy

Not much going on here. Busy getting things in order since Christmas is done. Working on nursery. Enjoying being off of work. I too have my next check up on Jan 4th. Have a happy new year!

HBamama2B

Hi all! Having a quiet week here too. my next appointment is next Tuesday. I'm excited to see LO again.

@kaitielynnrichardson that's awesome! I thought I felt baby move during a meetings week ago but OB said it was too soon (14-15 weeks at the time)and I haven't felt anything since. It was 3 distinct little pops (I still think it was LO). I usually feel everything, ovulation and implantation so I'm hoping I'll be sensitive and feel more soon. Really excited to feel him all the time!

AdorkablePixie

That's not too early @HBamama2B. They say you can feel as early as 14 weeks but the average is 18-22. I felt my little one move for sure at 16 weeks,Mobutu felt little things here and there that I thought was baby before that! I'm starting to feel movement more and more now, but not consistently.

AdorkablePixie

I just had an idea... Bump pictures?! I want to see how you ladies are growing (or not yet) haha

krbjoy

My baby girl at 20 weeks as well as my bump at 20 weeks.

I'm 23 weeks now. A tad bigger but not much. I've also been feeling movement lastly. Wasn't sure at first, but now definitely. Love it!

kaitielynnrichardson

@HBamama2B definitely not too early!! At first I felt it every few days but now I'm feeling it a lot every day. It's amazing!

KidShrink

My 20 week bump (a week before Christmas)...been crazy busy since, so not recent update, but it's growing exponentially!

NB817

OMG you are all adorable with your bumps!! I'll have to do mine later as I am preparing for our NYE party! XOXO!

AdorkablePixie

I love your bumps! I have to get on my phone to post mine. Lol

HBamama2B

Here's mine from last weekend! There's a lot of fettuccine Alfredo on top of baby. I always take a top down picture too Bc that's the view that really surprises me. and thanks @kaitielynnrichardson and @AdorkablePixie I feel less crazy. I woke up in the middle of the night and felt a flutter across my tummy that I'm pretty positive was him too. More to come I'm sure!!

KidShrink

@HBMama2B : you look adorable! I've also taken top down pictures like you and have reached the point where I can no longer see my toes! I was surprised how quickly that happened!

I have an anterior placenta and was told it'd be harder to feel baby move. I started feeling some definite movement at 18 weeks, and DH has been able to feel baby move too since about 20 weeks...so I think it's definitely possible!

AdorkablePixie

I love the top down pictures. I should start doing that too! I'm posting one from last week and then a comparison with this week because I actually popped a little bit last week!

HBamama2B

What a cute baby belly!!! And love your tattoo!

NB817

We bit into our cake pops last night at our New Years party to find out we are expecting a...

KidShrink

Congrats @NB817 !

AdorkablePixie

@HBamama2B Thank you. The tattoo is a representation of my mom, my three brothers, and myself. My moms loves humming birds and roses.

@NB817 Congratulations! How exciting.

HBamama2B

Congrats @NB817 ! Also, I love how her pop is already gone!

@AdorkablePixie that's lovely! I like the sentiment.

NB817

@HBamama2B haha yes she wasn't waiting for the pic to finish eating it.

Thank you all! We are really excited! I was convinced it was a girl!
