My growing bump

OK, so my bump is growing nicely. I can feel lots of movement, although my husband who would love to feel it, can't as it's not quiet strong enough to feel on the outside yet.

I am now 20 weeks pregnant, so I'm half way through, feels like forever tough, but I think that's because I knew I was pregnant when I was four weeks.

I have my scan on monday, which is exciting, but before you ask, I have NO intention of finding out what I am having. I know lots of people find out, but the way I see it, I have the rest of my life to know, and I'm happy to wait. I know I have said this in previous posts, but I will still stick to it. I didn't know on my daughter either, and when she was born it was a complete surprise, especially as I was convinced (for no reason whatsoever) that it was a boy.

I will do another post after the scan...

Lord above... My belly is getting big

Well I am now 19 weeks pregnant, and wow my belly is growing...

I have felt he or she moving around, and it's great I have a scan next week which is exciting, but I have no intention of finding out what it is. The way I look at it is, I have the rest of my life to know whether it's a boy or a girl, so I am happy to wait.

I can no longer wear any of my skirts, jeans or dresses, so no more feeling slinky or sexy for me (well not for while anyway).

Anyway all is going well with the pregnancy, which is great and I am having no problems whatsoever, which is something I am very grateful for (I had no morning sickness all...).

Take care and till my next post xxx

Getting ready for baby number 2

Getting ready for this second baby is a whole lot easier that it was for baby number 1.
I already have most things. I have my car seat (and as I know it wasn't in an accident I know it's safe), I have clothing, blankets, all that kinda thing.

Another thing I have now in droves is EXPERIENCE. Not that my daughter was a huge amount of trouble, she wasn't. The only time I had any problems with her was when she suffered with colic. Of course I was only ever going to choose 100% natural colic cures. Believe it or not this is not as easy as you would think.

I'm convinced that my daughter got colic if from drinking her milk. She practically inhaled her milk from start of feed to end, and she possible swallowed more air than was good for her. Although remember that no expert can agree on what causes colic, and even though at the time you think you will never have another nights sleep again, babies usually have it up to 12-14 weeks.

Drops are one of the easiest methods. While you child is crying you just drop the liquid into their mouth. However if you are looking for the 100% natural colic cures you will have to go looking for them. They are not as easy to find as you would think.

If you are having your first child and you want to see what colic looks like in your child, and what it's like when it's relived check out this colic video. It should give you a good insight into what you will be facing.
