I Am Back....again! With Pics!
Posted: 02-21-07 15:33pm

hi everyone, disappeared again for a while!! Been a bit messed up as late Sad but trying to get it under some kind of control now!

Anyways I am now 16 weeks Shocked 17 on friday!! and growing bigger each day!!I have had to stock up on maternity clothes because as of last week everything else is way to tight!. Had a antenatal yesterday and the midwife said she thinks I am carrying alot of water because the heartbeat was hard to find and she thinks s/he was tucked away well somewhere!!. not feeling any movements yet but again she said this may be due to the water!. oooh and also while I was there she asked me what children I had, when I said 2 boys she said she thinks I am having another one!! She was only going by the heartbeat but they said the same with the other 2 and they were right with them!

Everything seems to be going fine with baby but my blood pressure is rising into the high levels and I have had protein and sugers in my urine so they are keeping close checks on them. Midwife said its not to much to worry about at the moment but obviously could cause some issues in the near future.

I have been getting braxton hicks and tightenings since 14 weeks which really worried me, Confused anyone else get them real early?? I have been told its ok as long as they dont get painful or like period pains.

Anyways glad to be back hope everyones doing fine and heres my ever expanding baby belly!!


How high are those trousers!! Laughing

well I did think it was a girl untill I saw the midwife!!. But I think I would prefer to think it as a boy and then maybe have a surprise girl rather than expect a girl and end up with another boy...does that make sense??

we have talked about it endlessly, but it costs so much to determine the sex and the hospital that did it has closed and the nearest one is in London which is an 1hr 1/2 drive from me. So we thought what the hell neither of as are really bothered by the sex so we are waiting for the surprise!!

oh ok, Dont think its called the same thing here!

I know with lucas my 2nd, I started to feel movements at 16 weeks so I was hoping this one might be the same, but I guess not so. I find its alot more reassuring when you can feel them!.

You never no maybe it will happen tomorrow! Smile
