Jujube: I'm feeling big too and I'm only at 18 weeks. I don't know how much weight I have gained - I guess I can ask my doctor today.
The ultrasound went well yesterday. My Mum was SO excited - she didn't get this with any of us so this was her first time seeing one. My sister behaved herself - she said she couldn't tell the sex even if she wanted too and when the Spurt wasn't kicking me he/she had its legs crossed so were not sure if the technician could tell either but we didn't ask. That whole drink 4 glasses of water before hand is hard on me though - not the drinking but the not being able to pee for 2 hours bit! I was in so much pain yesterday I could barely walk and had to let some out (in a washroom of course) before we even go to the u/s office. Turns out Spurt likes to keep its head tucked into my bladder which explains a lot. We tried to get Spurt to move but no luck - I mean, there was lots of movement: hand waving, thumb sucking, head bashing into the bladder - but no flipping over. I'm pretty small anyway so my already tiny bladder wasn't happy and I was in pain for most of the afternoon. Still, nice to know I have an active and presumably healthy babe in there - with very long limbs just like its parents.
Apparently I am also a couple days further along than they first though which puts me at almost 19 weeks. The due date for Spurt is April 14th but I've always had a feeling it will come a couple days early and have been predicting April 10th. (Although only right here
) I'm still telling everyone end of April though!

: I just hope he can fight it off, and I hope I don't get it.
My tech didn't make me drink water and hold it, thank goodness... I was a little worried, I have a small bladder too. Glad baby's looking good! Though I hope s/he gets his/her head out of your bladder! Oh sweet torture!
Hugs to you 
: June had 6, and then I think since then there has only been 6. I hope there are some more graduates soon!

: I went from C-cup to DD-cup, and a snug DD at that. I only bought two maternity bras but have bought a ton of JCPenney's maternity tanks with the shelf bra. Much more comfy and they give me growing room. I can wear them under sweaters all winter, I can sleep in them and I think I will even be able to nurse with them and just put some pads in! I ordered some more last week, and they were on clearance only like $5 each. So, of course I had to get one in every color!!
