AB: I have the Strider Plus and it's not too bad. Mine has a squeaky back wheel which they couldn't seem to fix but it's not unbearable. Apparently they had a wobble issue which mine doesn't seem to have but I won't really know for sure until I use it with the extra seat. Fingers crossed I got a good one lol. I'm not sure if they still have the wobble issue with their more recent makes.

Welcome Tacey.

Nothing new to report here. 18 and a half weeks, I can't believe we'll be half way soon! How crazy!

Ooby that's a relief that all is well with bub

angelena ballerina I have a bertini jogger with the toddler seat that comes on and off and I love it. Out of the ones you posted it would be most like the blue one. I really like the bigger wheels I find with the extra weight in the pram its much easier to push and get up curbs and over rough ground.
taceywelcome !! I am new too
ez86 The colostrum is completely normal I had it with ds1 from about 19 weeks you may find you need to use breast pads I had a few times i was embarrassed from leak through
Brinny I am dying to find out how you went

AFM We told everyone over the weekend and they all laughed, its bad when us having babies is the family joke lol.

Welcome Tacey!
Ooby - Glad to hear all is good - always good to get that reassurance from the DR

I have been so consumed with FB page, I havent posted here lately at all either!

I am 18 wks + 3 days.. and eagerly waiting for 20 week scan which is scheduled for 28 APR

Work is starting to get busy and we are moving house in two weeks. Why does everything always happen at once when all I want to do is think about baby and look at cute stuff to buy? I so wish I was back in SYD counting down the days till my 5 day wknd.. we dont get any time off for Easter or Good Friday. Enjoy your long weekends ladies!

Gosh I love reading all the new posts!

I know I am a bit behind but can someone explain what all the DS & DD are - I'm pretty sure its for daughter or son but what does the first D stand for???

We are planning on going to the easter show on friday! arggghhh it will be sooo busy but its the only time dad can come too. I am so excited about the woolworths pavillion and of course will buy one show bag (full of junk) but a must when going. I probably won't say that when I have more than one kiddy.

I am 17 weeks and 2 days today and need to book my big scan - I wasn't happy with the last two ultra sounds. She went sooo quickly and rushed us out yet it still cost us $390!!!

Sorry for taking my time to respond here after my ultrasound. I saw boy bits, but the tech wouldn't confirm it, as she said it was too early. I am going back in 2 weeks to have another scan as she has found that the placenta has grown over and completely covered my cervix. She said they will need to monitor that over the next few months and she is hoping to see it move. Will see.

I am confident I am having another boy and I have felt that since the very start, since this pregnancy is so similar to DS. Looks like I will have a DS2 lol
DS1 will love having a brother. I don't think we will ever go back for a girl, I just think my DP has boys

[biene_maja]

Brinny - I'm surprised the sonographer said it was too early. The earliest I ever found out was 15 weeks and my sonographer this time said 14 weeks is far along enough. Anyway, you won't have to wait long for your second look.

Ooby - Great to hear the OB thinks it's all going to be fine!

Dani -

We told everyone over the weekend and they all laughed, its bad when us having babies is the family joke lol.

We already got laughs for this 3rd child. Most of our friends only have 1 or 2 and they think 3 is already a crazy big family.

AFM: Just busy cleaning the house.

[Brinny]

I don't even feel like I need confirmation, I was sure I saw boy bits and I have thought I was having a boy for ages, so I am looking into boys names like crazy as I really don't 'love' any boys names right now and I want to 'love' the name, if you get what I mean

Hi all,
I too have been posting mostly on the FB page... will try to put a link below for those who have not joined yet...

See how that goes Dani

Ooby - that's very reassuring words from your OB, I'm sure if she was at all worried she'd be investigating it further.
Brinny -

Welcome to all the new ladies & bubs!

AFM - just got back from monthly OB check & all is good... I love it cos he always gives us a sneak peek at Bean! We all had a laugh too as Bean was upside down with head towards my cervix & was wriggling & kicking up a storm. We were all amazed that I couldn't feel it as it was happening cos bubs was so active. Makes me wonder about the pokes I felt on Sunday, was it really bubs.... I'm almost positive it was but as this is the first I could be wrong as I don't really know what I'm feeling for.

Anyway, hope you all have a lovely long weekend in Aus, & sorry American girl you don't get to enjoy it with us!
