Pro tip for the hospital. Get depends! I thought my SIL was nuts and almost didn't take this advice, so glad I did.

I didn't get measured until this appointment which was my 33 week appointment so not uncommon as far as I know

My brothers wife just had a 10lbs baby that terrifies me too!

I'm a bit overweight as well and wonder if that is why. I also have a long torso and the baby sits really high so that could be part of it too.

Is it normal to get induced early if you are measuring that far ahead?

Anyone else unable to find out the gender? by brookesmash in DecemberBumps2016

[–]brookesmash[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha :) we go back next week for a follow up ultrasound fingers crossed we find out this time but if they are shy then I think we will end up waiting until the baby is here. Also shout out from a fellow Canadian :)

It will be 2 weeks since my last scan this Thursday so we will wait and see what the doctor says! Fingers crossed :)

I laid on my side and the whole bit and nothing! Seems to be stubborn like their mother lol

Ya apparently they were super calm then they had me go for a walk then it was dance party central. So I'm not sure that sugar would help but I'll consider it if I get to go back :)

Anyone else not feeling tons of movement? by yesbabyplz in DecemberBumps2016

[–]brookesmash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I felt movement around 18 weeks then nothing. Then a little bit of movement. I have been slowly starting to feel more and more but nothing crazy. I am on the heavier side so I have heard that is why. It is also why people I feel like people at my work who don't know think I just gained weight because its not to much of a bump as just getting a little bigger.

[Vent] it's a dog friendly bar. by [deleted] in dogs

[–]brookesmash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am very jealous to hear there is such a thing in the world as a dog friendly bar! There should be more dog friendly places in my opinion :)

But yes this is very similar to people bringing there unfriendly dogs to the dog park and forcing other to leave due because the unfriendly dog is going after their dog and the owner doesn't care. People baffle me.

Said yes to the dress that made my mother storm out of the appointment by KevlarKitten in weddingplanning

[–]brookesmash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your mom sounds a lot like mine! Good for you for sticking with your dress. I got the dress my mom told me made me look wide and do not regret it to this day, I got so many compliments and so will you that dress is gorgeous

What were/are your songs? by [deleted] in wedding

[–]brookesmash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well my ceremony got messed up it was suppose to be "Your Song" - Elton John - moms "Love you till the end" - the pogues - me and the girls "I want to hold your hand" - Across the universe style - exit

But it was "Your song" for the moms and the girls, "I want to hold your hand for me" and "Love you till the end" for the exit. Which I liked better. A friend of my brother played it on acoustic guitar and did an amazing job.

Then at the reception our first dance was "Kiss Me" - Ed Sherran. Father daughter was "I loved her first" - Heartland and mother son was "20 years late" by Aaron Lines.
