16 Weeks Today!

"Your baby is now about the size of an avocado, is about 10.1cm long from crown to rump, and weighs approximately 100g. In the next three weeks she'll go through a tremendous growth spurt, doubling her weight and adding inches to her length.

In or out of the uterus (womb), babies are playful creatures. Yours may already have discovered her first toy – the umbilical cord – which she'll enjoy pulling and grabbing. Sometimes she may even clutch it so tight that less oxygen gets through, but don't worry – she doesn't hold onto it long enough to harm himself.

The circulatory system and urinary tract are in full working order, and she's inhaling and exhaling amniotic fluid through her lungs. Your baby is immersed in amniotic fluid, which is protecting her as she grows in the amniotic sac.

Sometimes, when you move suddenly, you may a feel a slight pain in your sides. Ligaments on each side of your uterus and pelvic walls are stretching as your baby grows. It's normal to feel some pain, but if it continues for a few days or gets worse, talk to your midwife."

Im always pulling something lol. My appetites most certainly back again, all I want to do is eat. Better be careful I guess or I will have the midwife telling me off hehe. Couple more symptoms I've read are pregnancy related: Stuffy nose, I thought I was getting a cold for the last couple of weeks but no, its down to increased blood flow to the nasal membranes, strange lol. Also itchy skin, I thought I had fleas hehe....Joke!

I keep checking for this colostrum, which starts getting made now, hubby keeps telling me to leave my boobies alone! Well it fascinates me :P

Slept better last night, I've put the winter duvet back on, maybe I was snugger I don't know, and I even laid in and went back to sleep. Normally I can't do that, it gives me a headache.

Mosely is still in and out, Belle bullys him, shes impressed shes found a cat thats intimidated by her! lol. Wil and Ash never take any notice.

Boo's House

Went up my friends today, Hubby dropped me off while he went to see his dad. She gave me a big bag of baby things, oooh more pressies, we are getting spoilt lol :D Thank you very much Boo, very useful!

When we got back home Hubby carried on sorting out our new front door so I had a nap, I get so tired. So much for having more energy, would prob have some if I slept better at night. Got up, ate and watched an episode of Angel, now I'm bored hehe.

Mosely and stodge!

I think Mosely might be moving in lol, I went in the front room this morning and he was sat in Willy's seat lol. Luckily we put frontline on him last night and hubby pulled his ticks off, poor little guy. He has scabs on his back from being beaten, prob by the ginger cat from next door, the bully! He needs some loving.


The stodge bit was a lamb and mint suet pudding I had yesterday, I will admit it was lovely but I suffered afterwards with amazing bloating! I looked on the box and it said 1360 calories!!! wow lol. 76g fat!! no wonder I couldn't move hehe. Hubby said its 1 portion, more like 4!! lol.


No new symptoms to report, had the usual headache yesterday and tuesday. I think tummys getting bigger but then I always say that :)



Mosely :)

15 Weeks Today!

"You may not know it when it happens, but your tiny tenant frequently gets the hiccups, which babies learn to do before breathing. Babies don't make any sound because their windpipe (trachea) is filled with fluid rather than air.

Although you've probably gained between 2.2kg and 4.5kg, your baby weighs in at only about 70g. He measures nearly 9.1cm long, crown to rump. Legs are growing longer than arms now and all his joints and limbs can move. You may be able to find out the sex of your baby by ultrasound now, since the external genitals may be developed enough that the ultrasound technician can tell you if you're going to have a boy or a girl.

If the idea of having a baby seems so remote, nothing makes it feel more real than feeling your baby move for the first time. Most mums-to-be feel movement (called quickening) between 16 and 20 weeks.

If you've been pregnant before, you'll feel things earlier rather than later. What you may first think is a rumbling stomach may be your baby doing some back flips. Make note of when you first start feeling the baby and tell your midwife at your next visit.

This middle stage of pregnancy is a good time to start exercising – visit out pregnancy fitness area for some work-out ideas and advice. "

Excercise? pfft! lol, knackers me just changing the bed lol. Want to feel baby move! :)

Up dads yesterday, went to a carvery yummy. Had turkey and gammon, various veg, stuffing. cranberry sauce, basically an xmas dinner hehe. Can't wait till christmas, I can have turkey! Last year I was veggy, wasn't good, felt left out :P

Not commenting on the sickness too much, can't tempt fate but I will say not had it since Fri morning:)

Trout, Clothes and Things :)

Went out for a meal Friday night, it was my nieces 18th. Had trout it was lovely, bloated me tho lol but then what doesn't :P Came home early as hubby was tired! doh lol. Anyway didn't feel queasy at all which was wonderful.

Sat morning we went for a breakfast in Asda then bought me some new (bigger) clothes. Also indigestion started or maybe trapped wind, not sure, anyway it hurts. Comes and goes but helps if I they down.

Sat afternoon my friend came round bearing pressies, ooooh :) She's kindly given me her sterilizer, bottles, changing bag and pump. We are really grateful, thats going to save a lot of money :)

Tomorrow is Dads birthday so we are off up there. :D

14 Weeks and 2 days Belly :)

I've compared pictures with other 14 weeks bellys and some are even bigger than mine! lol

Maybe still some bloating but honestly I have no idea. Don't care I love my belly hehe.

Garlic!

Queasy this morning but now I'm not, so made up for it by having pizza and garlic bred :) Phew stinky house now hehehe.

Watched an episode of Angel, the one with the girl that has telekinesis. Overdid it a bit yesterday so having a lazy day today, which is good but I'm bored!

Been reading the book "Not Without My Sister." About 3 girls being brought up in the cult Children Of God. Sick people. Look it up. Rose Mcgowen was brought up by them, she left (got away?) when she was 15.

Can't wait till midwife app, I read that I might get to hear the heartbeat :)
