Do you think it's still so surreal because you didn't really think it would happen for you and Jason or why do you think it's surreal? I feel like I'll be the same way if/when I conceive, I'll have a baby in my arms and it still not feel real lol. Anyway, HOORAY for a healthy baby boy :):) Best news ever! Your belly is definitely popping out more...and your hair is looking better these past couple of videos too, shinier at least! Ahh I'm sooo happy I cant wait to "meet" the lil guy!

My partner started to feel our little girl kicking about 26 weeks. Apparantly, when you get excited that the baby is kicking, you get a quick rush of blood around your uterus that startles the baby and then they stop kicking. So everytime she kicked and he put his hand their, she stopped! Put he puts his head on my tummy every night now to talk to her and she rubs her hands up against his face, its the most precious thing ever! (I'm 32 weeks) Happy half way mark! X

@jmiller055 I TOTALLY UNDRSTAND!!!!! lol I find it so hard to get everything in, and to stay on track!! I look back at my TTC vlogs, and I stay on track (most of the time), and my videos aren't uber long (most of them!), but now... I can't make a short vid if my life depended on it!!!! lol This last one was a bit long b/c I had a bit more to say, but starting next vlog I will make a concious effort to KEEP IT TOGETHER!!! lol Thanks for your feedback!!!!

AmandaBishop86 commented on 12 Mar 2012

Glad to hear everything went well at your ultrasound!! My husband didn't get to feel our son until 6 or 7 months along. After that our son would only let me and my husband feel him kick. Everytime someone from work or my parents would try and feel he would stop moving. Also once you get closer to having him he won't move as much, so don't freak out. I think they told me as long as you feel 10 kicks within an hour he's ok. Hope you continue to do well :)

turtleames commented on 12 Mar 2012

@ookie888 Thank you!! And no worries! You're not coming off rude!!! And actually youre the second person to mention something about my long videos in this comment section!!! To be honest, I blame my pregnancy brain! I get so off track, and ramble!!!! lol But I'm going to make a huge effort in future vids to make them more direct, and not as long!!!! But I sincerly thank you for watching!!!

dlmaldon commented on 13 Mar 2012

Couldn't be more pleased for you! I thought about you every day from the day you made the vlog to the day of the scan, all the way over the pond in England! Glad the years of taking pre-natals did their job! After all you and Jason have been through getting to this point, you deserve your perfect, healthy chunky baby boy! Hope you can enjoy the rest of your pregnancy! Love Dawn x

AprilBaby2011 commented on 12 Mar 2012

I've been watching your vlogs for a long time now and it's always so nice to see how much you want this baby and just how much love you're going to give that luck little baby once he's here. I am so, so happy for you that you and your husband will finally get your baby, can't wait to see what he looks like. Your belly is adorable by the way!

sarahelizabethhx3 commented on 12 Mar 2012

I'm so glad everythings ok! I was in tears last week watching your update, I didn't get the testing done because I know I would worry myself to death. I'm 18 weeks today and have been having such bad ligament pain and stretching, I go for my gender scan tomorrow! Super cute belly, congrats on being halfway there!!

jmiller055 commented on 12 Mar 2012

I love watching your videos but if I had any constructive feedback, it would be to make them a bit shorter, more direct, and to the point. I want to hear all your updates but its hard to find the time for your vids :( I think most pregnancy vloggers are around 10 mins which is just long enough. Your thoughts?

turtleames commented on 12 Mar 2012

@sarahelizabethhx3 Awe!! you're a sweetheart!!!! I think that in my next pregnancy I'll opt out of the testing, just b/c the worry that it caused me was just too much! Plus, they check for these tings at the 20 week ultrasound anyways! GOOD LUCK AT YOUR GENDER ULTRASOUND!!!! Team Pink or Team Blue?????

turtleames commented on 12 Mar 2012

@AprilBaby2011 Thank you! This baby is def very wanted, and def very loved already! We're just so lucky to be have him in our life! Already we think that he looks like Jason! But with my chin!!! The 3d pictures we got are so amazingly detailed that we already think he looks like Jason!! lol

AMKEnnis commented on 12 Mar 2012

At 20 weeks gestation, my son was diagnosed with two neural tube defects: Spina Bifida and Anencephaly (absence of his entire brain) so I understand the fear you went through. He didn't make it, but I've learned so much from the experience. So glad to hear that everything went well!!

ng26ng3 commented on 12 Mar 2012

That is great news on your baby boy being healthy. Also my husband felt baby kick at 18wks 2d he got lucky because I'm 20wks today and he hasn't felt him since, he tries to catch it but baby stops as soon as he puts his hand on my belly. Hope your hubby gets to feel the baby soon.

aemt444 commented on 12 Mar 2012

What an amazing milestone... I am beyond happy for you and I knew God had his hand on your little boy and that all would be and will continue to be perfect. Just think in 6 months you will be all healed up from giving birth and doing videos on how to nap when "they nap" lol

WithGodsGrace commented on 12 Mar 2012

Such wonderful news about your precious baby boy!!!! So happy that all is well and that he is a big growing healthy boy! Can't believe your half way already!! Hopefully Jason will be able to feel the baby soon You have grown too!! Guess he's making himself some more room :-)

turtleames commented on 12 Mar 2012

@wishingonflowers I absolutely think that's why I think this is so surreal. We were told that we needed IVF to conceive, and then to conceive on our own, with no treatment at all, just seems too good to be true! I don't think it'll feel real until I hold him in my arms!

turtleames commented on 13 Mar 2012

@charlovespink That's so interesting!!! Very good to know!!! But if that's the case hubby will never feel baby move b/c I can't help but get excited when I feel baby move!!!! Also, that is the sweetest thing that he puts his head on your tummy every night!!! SOOO cute!!!

Samantha Conway commented on 13 Mar 2012

Aww sweety... I started crying when your eyes started tearing up :( Im 16 weeks and one day today and have my first ultrasound checkup on the 21st. Im so nervous! Im so glad he is ok! I hope that you have a safe and happy pregnancy and keep lil man safe :)

sarahelizabethhx3 commented on 13 Mar 2012

I thought it was a boy the whole time, and I was right! We got a clear shot of his junk today, and he's ALL boy. We couldn't be happier! So weird that we both have husbands called turtle and have little boys due within 2 weeks of each other :)

turtleames commented on 12 Mar 2012

@HopefulLadie It really is great!!!! I never thought I would want to see myself get bigger and bigger! but it's the best thing! And knowing that baby boy is doing great, and getting bigger and bigger too, well THAT'S the best!!!

callandrad commented on 12 Mar 2012

Such happy news! I've been in that scary position before with my first pregnancy and know how gut wrenching it is to wait to get answers. May the rest of your pregnancy be as boring (medically speaking) as possible!!! ;)

turtleames commented on 12 Mar 2012

@AMKEnnis I am so sorry. I can't imagine how heartbreaking that was/is. Thank you so much for wishing us well, especially considering your own circumstances. It means all the more to me. Much love to you!!

tkchallenger commented on 12 Mar 2012

wow!! you have def grown! :) soooo happy all is well with your lil big man!! i think my hubby was able to feel our son move around 23ish week. so yay your almost there!!!also congrats on half way!!

123dietdrpepper commented on 13 Mar 2012

Praise God Baby is fine! More and more these screenings scare the bee gees out of me. Think about it - there are alot of false positives that it makes me wonder how many false negatives there are?

turtleames commented on 13 Mar 2012

@123dietdrpepper I was thinking the same thing!! I thinking I'm going to opt out of this screening for future pregnancies! The worry is just too much, for such a high chance of false positives!

turtleames commented on 12 Mar 2012

@ng26ng3 The exact same thing happens to us as well!!! Baby boy will be kicking away, but as soon as I get Jason to put his hand on my belly, baby stops kicking!!!! lol Little prankster!!! lol

turtleames commented on 12 Mar 2012

@DaisyBell88 Thank you!!! And Lime Crush is basically lime flavored pop! Crush is a Pepsi product, and it just seems to be a bit tangier than other lime pop Ive tried!! Sooooo yummy!!!! lol

ShakespearesChin commented on 12 Mar 2012

So so pleased to hear that there is nothing to worry about.. what a relief that is! Belly looks huge this week! I love the belly shots, always make me smile seeing the progress :) x

turtleames commented on 12 Mar 2012

@gizo07 I do have tums! But now I only have to take them if I need immediate relief! The pills are helping so I don't need tums at all anymore!!! Plus they're safe for pregnancy!!!

turtleames commented on 12 Mar 2012

@LifeAsAYoungMarried it's the most stressful thing, having to wait for answers. But I'm so happy that after your wait for answers that you got the news you needed too!

turtleames commented on 13 Mar 2012

@dlmaldon Awe!!! Thank you!!! Its amazing to know so many were hoping and praying for this little boys health! I cannot tell you how much I appreciate it!!

I love Fulani Earrings. I purchased butterfly earrings from peace images, she does great work. Watch that anemia and take it seriously, I had a serious case and ended up with a blood transfusion.

glamazini commented on 13 Apr 2015

+rzashida Wow a blood transfusion! Ok, thanks for letting me know, I will.
