Hellobee Boards

@Dandelion: Yes! I have felt it several times this past week (18w, 1st pregnancy). It doesn't feel like kicks or jabs, but twitches/flutters sometimes. It has also really started to tickle or itch....kinda like if a finger is lightly dragged across my skin, only from the inside. I think someone else described feeling this too? I worked both days this weekend at the library and had to deal with some unruly children, so I was doing lots of walking and talking and I think the baby was going crazy! It was tickling/itching like crazy from the sensation! DH is really jealous he can't feel anything yet.

@debbiei8: Yeah, with S, DH didn't feel anything until I was almost to my third trimester.

@Bao: Usually early morning and late at night. Once in a while when I'm sitting, like in class or something.

@Bao: I only feel her right before I go to bed, and strangely, it's on the left side, almost by my hip. It seems too far to the side, but I feel little kicks there almost every night, so I know it's her. (If this was my first pregnancy, I would just think it's gas )

Still no movement here

@futuremama: I thought I was feeling movement last week. I was like kind of curled in a ball and felt vibrating in my stomach. But realized it was my own heartbeat. Duh!!!!

@anonysquire: it totally can feel like a cell phone on vibrate- such a strange feeling!

Most frequently for me it's when I'm laying down, I can feel a kind of stretching and rolling a few inches below my belly button. I don't get a chance for quiet time often, so usually 2-3 times a day.

@lemondrop: I feel the vibrations, too! I keep thinking my cell is on me, lol

@fussygal: I'm in the same boat girl!

@Mrs. Champagne: I am doing pretty good! Hope you are too! In a little under a week we get to see our boy again!!! Can't wait.

@Bao: yay! How exciting!

It's at 12:45 (exactly 48 hours from now!!) but DH can't come So I am going to get them to write down if it's a boy or girl so we can find out together when he gets home from work around 5. Going to be the longest afternoon ever!!

@Mrs. Champagne: oh man you better try and keep busy!!

@Bao: haha! I'm so curious to find out! We are thinking it's a boy! Everyone except for a couple people tell us they think boy too - so we shall see!! I'd be shocked if it was a girl at this point, but excited!

@Bao: it says boy! and my morning sickness wasn't too bad (never threw up) and I'm craving sour stuff! Also DH thinks my US had a penis on it.. lol!

@Bao: @Mrs. Champagne: eek I'm so excited to be able to call the baby he or she - i hate using 'it' yet i cant stop myself! I find out tomorrow morning so we have gender news 3 days in a row

@Bao: I think girl - I had my scan last Wednesday and didn't see a penis but they're so tiny at this stage and she didn't focus there much at all. She said she 'documented' it so my dr will tell us tomorrow. Gender chart said girl, I've had a gut feeling girl and I kinda really hope girl...although healthy is so so much more important, obviously.

@Mrsjets: so exciting!!

@Mrs. Champagne: I know some charts give different results, at least for me it has...

@Mrs. Champagne: oh I'm sure you'll find out there. I went to a Catholic hospital so I think it's something they just don't do...like I would throw myself down a staircase if I didn't get the gender I was hoping for

We had our anatomy scan today, so awesome to see the little guy again! Everything looked good and he was pretty well behaved and let her see what was needed- Cam was not as well behaved during his anatomy scan.

Can't wait to see what everyone else's scans turn out to be!

Here is our gender announcement for those not on IG. I'll add a few more later, as the uploads aren't working well right now. He's averaging 19 weeks, 4 days so they adjusted my EDD to 3/13- that would be our 4th anniversary! No need to change it here, as we all know, a few days either way doesn't mean much when the baby decides it's time
