When did you ladies start registering for things?
I have an OB appt and ultrasound this Thursday. Had my Harmony (NIPT) test and NT scan last week, so I'm anxiously awaiting those results.
QOTW: I definitely have a bump now. Looking back at my bump pics from my first pregnancy, I look about as big as I did at 21 weeks with my daughter. I'm not quite ready to post it yet though. Maybe in a couple weeks!
As for registering, with my first we were team green so I started a registry at 14 weeks and just continued to add and update all along. Since you're finding out the sex you could do your research on the products you're considering now so that once you know the gender it will be easy to go in and play with the registry gun.

@katie121209 and @NB817 Adorable bumps!!! Eeeeee there are babies in your bellies
@emsmama15 Welcome to your 2nd trimester! It's so great to see you here
20 weeks this week! Which means holy freaking crap, we are 1/2 way there! I am feeling great! Had our second fetal anatomy scan yesterday and see the doc in 4 weeks for my glucose test. We are about 95% done with our registry and are now focused on the nursery. We have a rug and a chair but still need a crib and dresser --- of course, the 2 more important things haha. @katie121209 I am a crazy person and researched every little thing (from toddler spoons to rectal thermometers to sleep sacks) on our registry so I started around 10 weeks.
Here's my 20 week bump --- also finally bought some maternity jeans so I can move out of my leggings. WOW they are comfy!
All of your bumps are gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@emsmama15 Welcome! Any idea when you'll get your test results back? I'm keeping my fingers crossed!!
@NB817 Congrats on the 3rd tri! 12 more weeks...eeek! How exciting!
@michelita44 wooohooo! Half way there!
@TerraMae Time really does seem like it's flying! Can't believe you're already 18 weeks and I'm almost 18 weeks.
As for me, this week has been pretty good pregnancy-wise. I'm not really spotting very much at all anymore (thankfully). I think I might be feeling the baby move occasionally, but it doesn't feel like the flutters everyone speaks about. So, I'm not sure what I'm feeling! It feels a little more like pops of bubbles. Really, what I imagined a kick feeling like. My doppler doesn't work anymore, so I'm debating whether to buy a new, different one or just go with faith everything is fine. It was just so handy with my clotting scare that I really like the ability to easily and quickly obtain reassurance.
I thought I was going with the Graco Click Connect infant car seat and the Graco lite stroller, but I went to finalize my decision with one last look and completely changed my mind. Now, I'm going with the Chicco key fit and the Chicco Activ3 Jogging Stroller since it functions as an everyday stroller as well. I'm pretty excited about it.
My belly officially popped! I've had a few "false alarms" that turned out to be just bloat and/or food baby. But, I can no longer suck it in, no matter how hard I try. This picture is me sucking it in, so I see nothing but bump! So exciting!
Oh, and the movement I'm feeling (and that I felt with my first) is not fluttery. I either feel little taps (I envision little kicks or punches) or an almost scraping feeling (like a little extremity is being dragged across the inside of my abdomen).
@riveridgional So glad to hear your spotting has gone away! PHEW! As for the baby moving, I first felt flutters (16-17 weeks), then tiny pops --- almost as if a couple popcorn kernels were popping in my belly. Then tiny taps. Now, it's kicks and punches all the time! My husband has felt a few and I saw my first outside kick this week! Weirdest feeling is this rolling sensation, almost as if the baby is doing log rolls in there haha. Sounds like what you're describing as scraping @emsmama15

I've been feeling the baby move a lot more lately. It's not flutters anymore but little bumps. I absolutely love it. However, when I go a day or two without feeling it as much I freak out. My doc assures me that it's normal. I have my anatomy scan today. I am so excited. I haven't seen this little guy since he was this big!

I must have just skipped through the flutters (or not recognizes them) and am feeling the bumps/pops now. It was happening a lot last night when I was lying on the couch. I pushed DH'S hand pretty far into my stomach and he possibly felt it. We're not positive if he felt one or if he felt me contract my stomach afterwards yelling "Did you feel it!?" Maybe the baby will be kicking or punching again tonight and we'll try again!
