No bump update this week...

So Saturday just gone I had a mini 3d scan :)

Everything went well, we were shown the legs, feet, hands, heart.. everything :)

and then it came to measuring the baby....

The lady asked what was my due date, when i told her she said no thats wrong.

I didn't know what to say? I asked was I further along or behind..

She then asked what did she predict when we went for a dating scan and I said 18th july.

She then said that was right and that the hospital has the wrong date that when I go back next, I've to tell them.

Which means.... I turn 26weeks tomorrow :( ugh! even thought its only a week, it means its another week to wait :(

So when we went back to measuring the baby with her original date, the baby measured a few days behind which means its a little petite baby weighing 1.8pounds!

I was totally surprised that the baby is small, i really thought this baby was massive since my bump really can't be missed anymore!!

So, I will have to wait to do a bump update until next week! 

But anyway. The scan was amazing! we never went for Kayden so this was a first for us :)

The baby was really stubborn, playing hide and seek with us according to Kayden :)

He/she had its hands up over its face the whole time, i was moving and tossing to try and get the baby to move it's hands but NOPE! haha.

Eventually we got a great picture of it smiling and another with its hands moved away from the face!! YAY! 

Ive no idea whether it looks like a girl or boy but did look like Kayden a little :) 

Made me even more excited to meet this little munchkin :D 

Thanks for reading :)

26week update!

How far along? 26weeks :) two more weeks and I'm in my third trimester :D !!
Baby is the size of an eggplant, 9inches long and around 2pounds.

Weight gain: Haven't put on any weight in two weeks, other than.2kg which isn't even a pound, little worried about weight gain as I feel I should be putting on more. Unless my body is waiting for the last trimester to pile them on ;) So its still at 13 pounds weight gain.

Maternity clothes: Guess who went maternity shopping yesterday :D! ME! New Look has lovely summer clothes at the moment. Got three tops and a nice pair of jeans :) Pretty chuffed with what i got. 
I'm usually not the one to go for 'cliché' tops like 'hands of the bump' 'Pregos' but i couldn't resist this time around! might aswell take advantage of this bump while I can, I'm sure i'll miss it once its gone!!

Stretch marks? Ive noticed a few of my old ones are turning more redder :( so pretty sure its the start of them now. Not moisturing as much as i should be so I'm not trying my best to avoid them either! 

Sleep: Its been a hard week of trying to get comfy, between bathroom breaks and dead legs i can hardly get comfy, but as soon as i drift of, I am out for the night! Starting to get harder to get up in the morning :( Kayden comes into my room as cheery as ever 'GOOD MORNING MAMMY' ..... my response ... '5 more minutes'  LOL! he's a gem in the morning, has no problem getting in beside me playing with his toys and reading his books, those extra minutes really do count ;)

Best moment this week: Nothing exciting this week, other than my easter break :) its so nice to be at home with Kayden and not having to worry about college the next day! 

Miss anything? Not really, since I can go for naps with kayden and at home all day, its been a pretty well rested week :)

Any movement? This baby is strong LOL! More kicks over my belly button this week which could mean he/she has turned (Still a lot of time to do so anyway), My belly is starting to move with the kicks so I can actually see when he/she is kicking which is pretty cool :)

Food cravings: Not really, just if i see chocolate... i have to have it haha! 

sickness? Still feeling nausea after showering, woke up this morning feeling a little ill, but i think I woke up to fast LOL :)

Gender: ;)

Labour signs: Nope!

Symptoms: Tiredness, low energy (Get so tired from cleaning the house lately) HEARTBURN!! my god its been crazy lately! I've been feeling pretty great other than that :)

Belly button in or out? In!

Happy or moody most of the time: Both!

Looking forward to: I've my scan tomorrow which I can't wait :) then just enjoying the rest of my easter!! As when i get back to college its going to be cray cray :( 

Thanks for reading :)
