It weighs more than I thought it would Polaris! My bump is relatively small (the pregnancy gods must have decided I had enough lumps and bumps LOL) but sometimes I find it harder to get off the settee ... not the first time I've needed a helping hand to get up LOL.

Sometimes I want a bigger bump because often I think it's not that obvious I'm pregnant, and I would like it to be a bit more obvious ... but then I realise how lucky I am that I'm not huge!! Plenty of time for that I guess ....

Wow, I didn't expect that bump would be difficult to carry around at 23 weeks. I thought it would maybe coming up to the end alright (although to be honest I don't really tend to think that far ahead, I'm pretty fixated on just getting past First Trimester!).
As you say, plenty of time for you (and me!) to get much bigger yet!

It's probably not the weight that sometimes makes it awkward (she says hopefully) but more that my centre of gravity has shifted and I haven't adjusted yet LOL.

Plus I'm always a bit stiff, must get a pregnancy yoga DVD!

Oh OK that makes sense! Hopefully you will get used to the new centre of gravity over the coming months! LOL.
I'm still looking forward to actually looking pregnant though, instead of just looking like I've had a few too many easter eggs!

Looking at your ticker, are you viable today gocarlilly?

Yes my LO is now viable, I am so happy, I can't believe I have actually made is this far, I had a m/c last year and feel so lucky

Congrats, a fantastic milestone

avabear73 · Apr 19th, 2009, 03:48 AM

Just wanted to share ... our little baby is viable today!

Congratulations avabear! It's amazing to think about really isn't it?

It really is considering it only seems like a few weeks ago since we got our

! I just have no idea where the time is going!!!

Wow, this thread has really picked up again!

Got my first scan tomorrow, when (by my calculation) I'll be 12 wks - can't wait to see the wee Bean, make sure s/he's definitely in there. Hopefully get to see the midwife at the same appt, as otherwise I still don't see her for another three weeks!

Someone mentioned aging (grand)parents .... 'tis my Nan's birthday tomorrow, she'll be 88 and I think she's just realised that she's now got a reason to stay alive a bit longer! Nobody in our family feels as old as the number of years suggest, so I think we're making a pact to take at least 10 years off our stated age in future!
