I also got engaged!!! So there's even more excitement in the SnoozySuzie household 
SnoozySuzie - Congratulations on your engagement!!! Also delighted to hear all went well with your 20 week scan.
We had our scan yesterday and all is well. Baby is always active in the morning time so there was lots of movement with arms and legs, etc. Got some fantastic pics - even got a pic of a foot and one pic of hand waving "hello"
The relief to have the 20 week scan done is amazing. We didnt find out what were having, Id love to know but I love the idea of it being a surprise more
Hope everyone is well 0 -

Aww I'm in bed with a terrible stomach bug. Have only managed a banana and wafer biscuit bar today and they both came back up. Don't want to chance eating anything else. This is the worse I've felt in years. Hopefully it's only a 24 hour thing and I'll be up and ready on Thursday for my big scan 0

Had my scan yesterday in Holles St. It was amazing. We could clearly see the fingers and toes, the nose, the lips, eyes, bum, everything it has my nose! i'm a week earlier than i thought, only 20 weeks when i thought i was 21, so not due until july 22nd. But still could go anytime around then so not too disappointed, just that we'll have to wait a week longer to meet her. Yes, i said her! Since she's a week smaller than expected, they weren't sure, but the doc put it as 95% it's a girl i'm so happy I have another scan in three weeks as they want to get proper measurements (the baby was too small to see properly through the skin) so i'll get another chance to see her everything is forming nicely though! getting excited for reals now! 0

Thanks a million wolfpawnat.wolfpawnat wrote: »
Don't apologise Vanna, many of us live away from family so we know how you feel *hugs* It's great to be able to come on here and talk. Don't want to talk to my partner as he'll only worry. Anyway as I said earlier I'm sure tomorrow will be a better day.
Thanks again. Take care. :-)0 -
Baby has finally decided to go into a position where I can feel movement! So weird. It was the first thing I missed when I had my son. I was starting to worry why I wasn't feeling anything. Irrational I know since it is all about position and everything, but still, it is reassuring to feel the little flickers. 0

What do they feel like for you? N where on your tummy can you feel them ? 0 -

Well so far two have been strong little kicks you could not deny for anything. Sort of like the tiniest of nudges from within, but most have been little flickers of movement, almost like tiny little painless momentary spasms. Before I could put my hand over it, they would go again. Some are just above the bellybutton, which is right with the docs opinions that I am 20 weeks. but most have been lower making me wonder what way the little thing has decided to position itself at all. I still have two weeks to my scan so I won't know what way it is lying til then.
They are such light little things, no.1 left me with no doubts from day one, Jean Claude Van Damme must have been his in utero idol. This one is far more shy with the moments.0 -

I was unemployed in 2011, so I need to be working 39 weeks prior to going on leave this year - twas confirmed by the maternity hotline. He included xmas work I did last year plus credits I earned while unemployed and said I need to make 24 weeks this year, making it end of May before I can knock off.
I must ring and ask if that's a full time week of does it matter if I go part time.....0 -
Has anyone bought a good baby name book? We are having a terrible time even thinking of a name let alone agreeing on one?? We can link every name back to someone we know (and dont like) I've been looking online but I think I'd prefer to get a book and mark the ones we like? Is anyone else having this trouble? I dont remember it being this hard naming our 2 dogs

Hi SnoozySuzie. We downloaded the top 100 names from the cao and we each wrote down the ones we liked, we compared our lists and then whittled it down to one shorter list. We have a definite(for now) on the boy and two that we really like for a girl. It's a very difficult thing to do. Sorry I can't give you the name of a book but maybe try what we did. You could widen the search and look at the top 100 UK and US names too.SnoozySuzie wrote: »Has anyone bought a good baby name book?

Best ring to ask but FWIR it's the number of PRSI contributions you make not the monetary value of them.0 -

Yikes that is close to your due date. But I suppose the closer before hand, the longer off after. Sitting around the house waiting to go into labour is horrible, you get way too bored even if you are doing things because all you are thinking about is "will the baby ever come!" The scan will be great. It is so anazing seeing them on screen and seeing how much they have grown 0 -

Well, the 15 weeks is approximating! I'd love to leave now but i can't! Plus, yeah it would leave me with more time at the end! All my brothers and cousins in the family have been late, so there's a possibility i might be late, so trying to not have to spend lots of time off without a baby. That being said, i just have to see how i am feeling and if it happens that i'm absolutely exhausted, i might take an extra week or two!0 -

I was supposed to go to them with my first but couldn't due to an idiotic MIL. I booked the first at 29/30 weeks, the Rotunda were slightly peeved I left it too long but were accommodating. Pity I never turned up
Won't be able to go this time at all.0
