First Baby Movement?...

Hey all, 


Yesterday i was 14+3 - the weeks just seem to be flying by! 
All day i had been feeling little flutters, but didn't really think much of it. However i was on the way to my other half's, waiting at the bus stop sat down in the shelter and i lent over to get something from my bag and suddenly i felt what felt like the baby doing a somersault. Straight away i thought "That was baby!" 
It was something i have never felt before so i defiantly think it was baby! It was such an amazing feeling! 
I haven't felt baby do it again since, but i am only coming up to 15 weeks and all the books say you don't feel them move until 17-22 weeks, so maybe it was just a one off, but it is all very exciting and if it happens again i will know that it is baby wriggling around in there! 


I cannot wait to start feeling kicks properly! 


On the other hand it's only 32 sleeps till i get to see my Little One again :D

Nuby Freebies :D

A few weeks ago i discovered www.Nuby-Uk.com and liked their Facebook page www.facebook.com/nubyuk. There is a page on there named Bump, Birth and Baby and if you sign up they send you freebies. 


I entered my details and to be honest totally forgot about it and then today i received two soothers in the post. They are both very cute. I took a picture for you all to see. 

The picture isn't too great so it doesn't show the colours too well but the blue is actually more green and the yellow is a bright yellow. Either way they are super cute. 

Since then i have applied for more freebies, so i'm hoping they will arrive soon :) 

The more freebies the better :D 

On another note i received a letter today from the hospital confirming my scan appointment on the 18th June, but have also been asked to come to an Obstetric's appointment after my scan. I'm not 100% sure what it's about so i will speak to my midwife when i see her on the 21st May. 

Only 39 sleeps till i get to see JellyBean again :D

Fifth Bump Picture - 13+4

I've take a picture of the bump today and i'm totally confused to what is going on as it looks like it has shrunk loads :( I'm thinking maybe i'm now losing the bloat?

Purchased my first baby items :D...

Hey all :) 


So today i have hit another milestone, i'm now 13 weeks :D Still confused as to whether i'm in first or second trimester as different books say different things. 


Anyway, all is going well. Been hearing JellyBean's heartbeat getting stronger each day and been getting more growing pains. I've read it means the baby is moving from behind my pelvic bone slowly up towards the belly button. I just cant wait to start feeling those flutters/kicks!! 


I thought as everything is going so well i would purchase a few items for the baby. I'm not planning on getting too much yet as i want to find out the sex first, then i can shop shop shop!! I had a look around Mothercare and there are some really cute items in there! 


I ended up buying an 8 Piece baby set which included a jacket and trousers, a sleepsuit, two vests, a bib, a hat and some mittens. I also bought a baby record book which is so full of detail, i cant wait to start filling it in!! I took a few pictures for you all to see. They are not the best though, so sorry about that! 

I shall post again in the next few days :)

Dating and NT Scan :D...

I have just come back from my dating and NT scan and it went really really well :D I was in there for about 45 mins as Jellybean would not stop wriggling he he.

I went in thinking i was 12+1 and they would put me back, however they put me forward to 12+3, baby is now due 10/11/12...such an awesome date ey :)

For the NT screening i came back Low Risk, the NT measurement is 1.70 MM and my Risk is 1:8704. I am very happy about that as it means the baby is healthy and isn't at risk of any chromosomal abnormalities :D

My next scan has been booked in for 18th June and i cannot wait :) It means i only have 7 weeks until i can find out what i'm having :D I really thought i was having a girl, but now i have a feeling its a boy...so i shall have to wait and find out!!

Here is a picture of Jellybean...anyone fancy taking a guess at the gender?
