Hello gorgeous peoples! It's been too long!

I'm not sure if I've even told any of you here, as I've been so busy with our daughter starting kindergarten and everyone just keeps growing!!! So, here i go!

I am pregnant with baby #4 - 20 weeks and 5 days to be exact!

17-22%20WEEK%20SUBSEQUENT%20%20OBSTETRIC%20ULTRASOUND%200101_RESIZED.jpg


It's a girl! :D She is very well developed, about 2 weeks ahead (which is a huge relief for me). And she's so gentle!

Aww thanks! :D Oh yes it's so nice! Such an improvement to the last one! NO CONTRACTIONS! WHOOO! Hahaha.
I did have a little scare last week and had to have an emergency ultrasound etc. but it all turned out to be fine. :) Just taking it easy this time around.

It's funny though, the day before I found out I was pregnant (when I was certain that I was not and the 'sickness' was just a continuation of the food poisoning), I had a dream that I had a baby girl...
I KNEW IT! ;)

Congratulations, Liana! I'm glad you are feeling better. I hope the rest of your pregnancy is as pleasant as the first weeks and no more scares. Take good care of yourself.

Congratulations. Sometimes I want another one too. Mine are 13 and 15.

Another one is not in the picture for me. At least when the grand babies come in ten years or so I get all the fun and a lot less work.

@ Allee: Thank you! :D Well aside from my cervix being half the length it usually is, all is going well so far!

@ SilverSage: Haha thanks ^^

@ Aquila: Thanks! Haha they will probably go nuts and try to get as close to us as possible ;)

@gracebowen: Thank you :) Haha yes being a grandparent would be fun i have to admit!

@ Sunset_Chaser: Thank you!! <3 Can't believe i forgot your name again -_-

@ Terry: Awww thank you, missed you too! I've started sewing and knitting so now I'm even busier... anything to distract me from my body aches and pains (my SJD is raising it's lovely head...). Our 4.5 year old daughter is adamant that baby is coming out soon, not later... >.> thanks for that Ziggy lol.

WHOOO! Made it to 28 weeks and no problems thus far! :D Currently 28 weeks + 2 days. Finally in the home stretch ^^ Baby is throwing her limbs every which way every night when i lie down... She doesn't seem to want me to go to sleep... -_- Time seems to be slipping away so before I'm suddenly due (only 12 weeks to go!) i thought i should update! :p

Thank you :) Our daughter is (the almost 5 year old). She's extremely ecstatic about having a baby sister :p so cute! The almost 3 year old doesn't understand, nor does he care haha. But Chad, the almost 2 year old knows there's a baby there and keeps rubbing and patting my belly ;)

Just seeing this thread, Liana! Congratulations!!!

I'm overjoyed to hear that there have been no complications. And it's great that you are taking it easy.

So you have a 4 year old, a 2 year old, a 1 year old and a baby on the way? 'Nuff respect! I am quite impressed, Liana.

So sorry! I've been so busy and everyone keeps asking me how it's going so i keep thinking I've repeated it all here too...but of course I haven't! :O

Haha pretty much.. i'll have a 5 year old in July, a 3 year old, a 2 year old, and a newborn within the next 4 weeks... Haha why thank you Stephen ^^ They are all very docile children who ALL have slept through the night as soon as we let them (pretty much from birth). Only reason i/we can handle more than 3! lol. I'm more maintenance than they are all put together!

Liana! Good to hear from you :) I'm so glad to hear that you're doing fine and feeling well! That is one busy super mommy! Time flies I agree.

:) Thank you! Haha. Well I have a little picture to show you all of baby. I apparently hadn't gained ANY weight for 7 weeks so I had an ultrasound last week (at 35 weeks 3 days) and baby is definitely growing...and I've got gathering lumps of fat so I'm definitely gaining weight..and I'm eating like a horse! So it makes no sense...

Baby is good! I'm now 36 weeks 1 day, but baby is measuring 37 weeks. I went up to the hospital yesterday for possible breaking of the waters but it turned out to be a false alarm *phew* Just ONE more week and I'll be able to deliver here.. Can't wait to see her!

Baby at 35w3d.
Look at that cute little squished chubby face! <3 She also gave us a full view of her bottom: definitely a girl!

EDIT:
Oh! And i was on watch for possible Pre-eclampsia but that's finally been ruled out now so YAY! :p

Thank you for that ultrasound pic, Liana! Getting so close to the finish line! You'll be in my thoughts and prayers for a swift and painless delivery.

Thank you Julie! Yes, so close!!! Is it a bad thing that it feels 'normal' for me to be a lumbering, waddling, cannonball-bellied-penguin?? Haha

No worries Stephen, i couldn't resist sharing. ^^ Awww thank you, I'll be using the gas again so I'll feel the pain but it won't bother me...was fun being overly happy and carefree as i push a child out, haha. My Dr just giggled the whole time (he doesn't have a laugh or chuckle, just a big belly giggle).
