? Isn't the point of sex reveal to reveal the sex to yourselves? Do people do reveals to surprise family when they actually already know? I'm cool with any excuse for cake, though. If we get a cake, it would just be a cake for the sake of cake because you can't bring up a dessert opportunity around my husband without follow through. I'm not sure what the policy is on reveals. I had a friend do a small get together where everyone found out the sex at the same time and a friend who made pink cookies with her daughter to surprise our play date group. I guess it varies. I know some people find out in advance. I think this might mostly be for those who anticipate possible gender disappointment so they don't look upset in front of others. We never do a big reveal. Something cute for both sets of parents then a post on FB. Nothing fancy.

I made cupcakes to reveal to my coworkers after I already knew, mostly an excuse for cake!
Blah, I really haven't been feeling as much movement yesterday or today. She was going crazy the day I was at my conference. Trying not to worry about it, probably just facing the other way or something right?

They're still so small at this point that if they face backwards you won't feel much. I don't think kick counts start till sometime in 3rd tri.

Yes at my appt Thursday my OB said we would talk about kick counts at the next appt, so about 27 weeks.

FFSC I don't see the obsession with funfetti cake (ducks head).
The puppy just head butted me and busted my lip and I uncontrollably cried for 5 minutes, pregnancy hormones are no joke.

My daughter is a riot. I hope she stays weird forever. This happened today:
Me to MH, on the way to the farmer's market: "If there are beets, I'd like to get some of them and some goat cheese to make salad for my lunches this week."
DD, interjecting from the back: "No! You need MEAT. From CHICKENS."
"Did she just dis my salad?"
"You dissed my food."
I look at MH, trying not to laugh. DD bursts into maniacal laughter in the backseat.
"I'm laughing at your salad, Mommy."

I cried last weekend when I discovered my H had eaten the last bagel. I was devastated. lol It was my first irrational, hormone induced cry this pregnancy.

Another one for baby not moving much today.
I had a good 3/4 days where she would move all day every day, and it was so great.
This morning for about an hour she went mental, and ever since then (9pm now) she's done 6/7 kicks. I did do a heart doppler, and she is insanely far back, to the point where I had to press down on my belly to push up my uterus to get a better reading of her HB. So my guess she has moved position and my anterior placenta isn't helping things. She's probably moved further up (where the placenta is) and further back.
This is the only thing I HATE about pregnancy is the paranoia of their movements as that's the only way we know they are ok.
And of course since I've been writing this she wakes up and has kicked me twice or so. The kicks are very far up, almost confirming my theory!

Thanks for making me feel better at least beefinch! I think as long as we feel them a bit it's ok. It's just weird to have some days where they are so strong and others where you can barely notice. I like funfetti too, that's what my reveal cupcakes were! I'm babysitting my friend's 5 year old son today, she brought me a slice of banana bread cheesecake!!

blabbermouthI'm only going to start properly worrying about movements around 28 weeks. At this point their position is a lot to with how much we feel them

I'll most likely use the Doppler until 28 weeks and then start ringing triage/midwife

I had to run to the grocery store, so I picked up a pound cake. A close second to funfetti in my books and I don't have to make it.

I ate like half of the cake (serving size=1/6 lol) and then washed it down with some mozzarella sticks. I've been eating pretty well lately, so tonight gets a pass.

No funfetti over hear but I do have some chocolate zucchini bread in the oven. One loaf is going to a neighbor that just had a baby, hopefully I get to snuggle the squish when I drop it off.

I have been trying to start watching what I eat, but now I want a funfetti cake. Damn you people. The only sweet thing I have in the house is these delicious chocolate caramel pretzel snapper things. Ahhh to partake or not to partake, that is the question....
