We’ve been seeing our consultant every 2 weeks for scans and monitoring, but now I’m past 24 weeks, we’ll only be seeing her every 4 weeks until we feel comfortable enough not to have anymore. After eight scans I’ll miss not seeing our little one so often. Our consultant has treated us to a 4D scan on three occasions now, which has been a magical experience. It is so amazing to see all the facial features so clearly, and watch our baby yawning and waving their little hands about.
I’ve been feeling kicks from 17 weeks but they’re getting stronger each week – enough to knock things off my tummy if I’m resting anything there! Sometimes little bubba has a very energetic kicking session, other times it’s slow rolls and stretches which is a more strange sensation. Lately I’ve been enjoying playing music to the baby, after I bought Hayley Westenra’s Hushabye album a few weeks ago. The first few times I played it were emotional as I thought of William and Noah and how I never got to sing lullabies to them, but they’re beautiful songs and I love listening to them. It would be a very soothing selection to play during feeds and before bedtime.

SO happy for you. And what a gorgeous shape you have!We have decided not to do NCT as it's quite expensive and meeting people all depends on the group you join. I have heard good things and bad but we are ok with just NHS. I think my friend paid £170 which I think is pricey but it depends on what your needs are xx

We are in the same week! 🙂 I just wanna tell you that I'm happy you start talking about the baby and the pregnancy. The baby WILL come with you, to your house, to your family, to your hearts, start beliving it! The baby will conquer your entire life in a magic way. So wait a few more weeks to see it. (omg! you gain so much little!!! I'm struggling with sweet's…)

Hi Amy,
I've never been one to comment on posts, although I've been following (and loving) your blog for quite some time now.
When I read what happened to you during your first pregnancy, I didn't think it would be of any help to you and your husband to receive words of compassion from some stranger. It's only now, after I experienced a great loss and had rough times myself, that I understand how much sincere sympathy and kindness can do for you, even if it comes from strangers. But, enough with the sentimental rambling..what I actually wanted to to say is that I am extremely happy for the two of you and that I wish you all the best!
Amy Antoinette says
Hi Kathy, thank you for your lovely comment. I'm so sorry to hear you've gone through a hard time yourself. You're right, it is amazing how comforting words can be, and we have actually had more beautiful and kind things said to us by strangers and acquaintances than people close to us, so I truly do value every kind comment that has been left on my blog. Thank you for your well wishes. x
Rosie says
This is such an incredibly moving post. So, so happy for you that this pregnancy is going smoothly. I can't wait to see you with your beautiful baby 🙂 Sending you lots of love and positive thoughts!

I would hate to have gone through that are you are so strong to even consider having another baby after what happened with your twins, I take off my hat to you. Enjoy the pregnancy while it's good though. You'll soon get sick of being uncomfy and hot and bothered in this weather, luckily I went through winter so I could wrap up and stay warm, even then it was a struggle to remain cool and would often break out in sweats! I've made a few new friends since having millie, not through m&b groups though but friends that already have babies! I seem to have much more in common with people that have had babies than others that haven't! My 'so called' best friend hasnt been in touch since March 12th. Makes you realise who your true friends are!! xxxx

Hi Amy…
I have been reading your blog for a long time but rarely (if ever) comment. I just wanted to say that I am so happy for you and Matt and that you are able to feel some excitement after such tragedy.
I wish you all the very best with your pregnancy and everything that that follows ♡
Also I just want to add, I really love your blog.

What a beautiful bump! As an answer to the NCT classes – 24 years ago my parents signed up for the classes, and 24 years on – there is a group of 6 families who still meet up 2-3 times a year, and I have life long friends who were born in the same month as me! We actually call our friendship group the 'antenatal group' – it's stuck! It's certainly a really special friendship I have with them – I really recommend it :)(from a child's POV!). XXX

Moi ce qui m'a tout d'abord touché quand je suis arrivé un peu par hasard à votre blog, c'est cette façon émouvante dont vous parlez de votre grossèsse, de vos jumeax, des examens…Vos enfants ont de la chance de vous avoir. Et je pesne c'est un bon cadeau, et une preuvede très grande amour que vous leur laissez à travers vos écris.
Je crois que William, Noah seront ravi de lire ce blog et savoir que vous les aimez aussi tendrement.
Félicitations

Hi Amy, congratulations on the positive pregnancy and for looking absolutely radiant, I am so sorry your last pregnancy didn't work out and as someone who has their share of worry I can relate. I suffered 3 miscarriages before I got my beautiful boy, I couldn't buy anything for so long, and remember just praying that I would bring be able to bring him home with me. Enjoy every moment of your baby kicking away, I remember even when it got unbearable I was so greatful to be carrying a healthy child, and when he was born I couldn't beleive he really existed. I wish you so much luck, and hope that your baby will arrive safely, and that you can start such a beautiful chaper in your life raising them.
