Your family AND you are beautiful. I wish I could look so good without make up. Without my "mask" no one would recognise me. lol I have skin issues that make up helps A LOT to cover up. Can' wait to meet the rest of the family!Hazel - How gorgeous are you? My goodness, I think we are deffinately full of hot mamas in here. Everyone is so pretty! Your fur babies are cute and your wedding photo... I wish I had something so beautiful of my wedding. We were tight for funds and the digital ended up not working so all we had left was the disposable camera's pictures. Not one turned out well. Anyway... back to you and that beautiful Zorba bump! lol You know, I guess you did mention the beach ball turning into the swiss exersize ball and I missed it. Funny! We just call them exersize balls here as far as I know. The smaller heavy ones we call medicine balls... not sure why but that's what my gym calls them atleast.
I am right behind you in how big my bump is. You are thinner than me so my bod doesn't look as hot, but baby bump size, almost right on track with you. I keep feeling my bump and I think it's the size of a 19 or 20 week singleton now. My bump feels right at my belly button now. The new house is coming along and looking like a home. Just need curtains and to put a few things in it's place, other than that we are done. We are having a bbq this Saturday so that should be fun. Don't think I will get curtains up by then. I want knew ones for the living area. As far as registering somewhere for you, see if maybe you can find a place that will accept a registery, or maybe you can try registering at somewhere over here online?? See if the place will accept your UK address and see if it will accept a UK card information to purchase things. If it does then anyone there or here can get you things. If not, then hopefully it will at least accept your address so we can send you things. Otherwise, maybe you can set up a registery, even if none of the info works, then people can look, get ideas and PM you and ask for your address to send you a little something? No matter what, there are ways!! lolAngela - I understand your fear, I know you will hold on to that fear until that baby is in your arms crying. However, try to be positive and not stress yourself out by holding back on things. If god forbid something does happen, you will still never be prepared for it. Lets try to be prepared for baby to be healthy and happy!
Don't worry about registering now for baby things. Wait until you need to register. We will still all be here for you even if we had our babies. I didn't feel comfortable buying a single thing until I hit the 2nd trimester, which is now. It hit me all of a sudden that I shouldn't have anything to fear and I need to accept these babies are coming when I got my next u/s appt. It said 17 weeks in 4 weeks. I thought, wait... I will be halfway there in 4 weeks?!?! I need to start getting stuff for these babies! 
With twins on the way and the budget for a singleton, yeah... I must get cracking. So... I hope there is a point where that happens to you and you feel that calming sense of relief where you know you will be ok and so will your baby! When you feel that, go ahead and register, plan for your baby and relax! If not, than I am sure we can send you a little something for after the baby is born. Either way, we are here for you!Malya - YAY, the first known boy in the forum! Congrats! Looks like he is waving to you in the one pic, how cute!!!
Lou - I am sorry for your scare, I hope everything is alright which I am sure it is. I hope to see your update soon!
Claudia - Yeah, if nothing else people can get ideas from other people's registeries.
Some of us might be ready for this now, some not quite yet, but either way because people are at different stages it makes it easier to afford for those with tighter pockets like myself. lol Not everyone needs the little somthing at the same time. It could be a pack of bottles, a pack of onesies, socks, a little outfit, anything like that and of course for those who can afford a little something more, it could be a baby monitor or breast pump. I don't expect anyone to look at my registery and see a dresser or stroller and actually get it. lol That's just too much, but it's there for family who wants to help with the big stuff. Cute pics! Just caught them as I was posting. Your bump is growing and still so cute! Where is your fur baby? He is usually behind you in the picture. lol Hell of an 80's look too, you must have had so much fun! Your wedding dress is gorgeous! Your body looks great then and now girl! Katie - If you don't mind, for those who like the registery idea, maybe add the link to the place they are registering by our name as they give it so we can go at leisure? Mine is http://www.babiesrus.com
As far as the registery idea, I see a lot of you like the idea. However, I know some may not have the money to spend on even the little things because of preparing for your own little bundle. Helene mentioned making something, I think that is also a cute idea.
I am not crafty however so I personally rather purchase a little something. AFM - Ended up not putting anything on layaway yesterday, just started my registery. The cribs I wanted are online only and the ones they had in the store were more expensive and not as pretty in my opinion. lol I am sure I have to edit my list a little since Andrew had the gun and was scanning a few things without looking at the best item. Also in a few weeks when I find out genders I will be adding boys/girls things. Not very many nutural items these days to choose from. Anyway, so I called my OB office and finally got a hold of someone yesterday just to be refered to the nurse hotline where I had to leave another message and no one has called me back from that! UGH!
Aren't constant headaches something to worry about, especially lasting this long? It's been two weeks now. I am right to be a little concerned aren't I?
There are no words. I understand you needing time to heal so take as much time as you need. I do hope you keep in touch and let us know how you are and update us on your next cycle. You and your DH will be in my thoughts.
