I had a good weekend of Christmas parties and shopping. My Mother in Law took me to a maternity store and I didn’t get chased out of the building. I now have enough shirts to last me a week and my Mother in Law is going to wrap up two things for my birthday and Christmas. I think she had more funs hopping than I did! We laughed about the maternity underwear. When I giggled and asked if I would actually grow out of my undies, a lady in the dressing room shouted “YES!” Then we headed over to Babies R Us to walk around and see how the local store compares to others I’ve been to. It was fine, but I don’t think we’ll actually register at that store. My mom wants us to go to Delaware and register there with her helping us.
Ok, onto my fears for tomorrow. I could write ten pages about it, but I’ll just sum it up for you since I've said all of this a million times. I’m afraid… I’m not feeling much movement (and said movement could just be gas)… I’m not getting any bigger… I’m not gaining any weight… I’m sure tomorrow could be the worst day of my life followed by the worst birthday ever and I’m going to have to cancel Christmas. What else is new with me? Send prayers by overnight mail to Baltimore, MD at 8 am tomorrow morning. Thanks!
Update, 10 am Monday: I am feeling more movement this morning, so I'm calmer than I have been before other appointments. You can still send those prayers and hopes for tomorrow, though!!!

I'll be praying like mad. I have an unbelievable knack for gettin myself into a real tizzy before any appts. I hope the baby keeps moving around and that tomorrow will go great!!
Those warm thoughts are coming in, Cheryl! I know it will go great, but sending you the warmest hugs and thoughts.
I'm so glad you had such a wonderful baby-filled weekend!
Well I'm happy you are feeling a little better now about tomorrow.
I also have days were I swear I don't think I felt her at all. I even took out the Doppler yesterday and I haven't used it in over a week! I just wasn't feeling her move. Now I am sick and feeling like crap and she seems to be too because she is not moving much last night or today.
Can't wait to hear how tomorrow goes!!
I didn't feel strong movement until the day after the u/s and somedays I don't feel him at all.
Sending you lots of luck. I am sure everything will be fine. :)
I thought of you yesterday when I was at the outlets doing some shopping and wandered into the Han.es store with my mother. I asked the clerk where the maternity/nursing bras were, and then (gasp) tried one on (UGLY - can't Victor.ia's Sec.ret make a sexy, black lace one?!) The whole time, I was waiting for the sirens to go off and the "Pregnancy Police" to whisk me out of the store and declare me a fraud ;o)
I, like the others, can reassure you endlessly to not worry movement, lack thereof, how it ebbs in flows in both urgency and noticeability . . . but it doesn't matter, you (like me) will still fret about it plenty. So, I will instead tell you that I fret about it still, and at 26 weeks, I can tell the difference between a bona fide kick, flip, and stretch at this point. You will, too, when you get further along.
In the meantime, consider me to be your "Paranoia Partner in Crime," as we evade the detection of the pregnancy police in maternity stores, and gingerly set foot into shopes like BRU, all the while expecting to be exposed as some fake ;o)
OH YES!!! You will grow out of your panties. It's amazing to think but it happens! I fell in love with motherhood maternity's bikini panties because they didnt cut into my belly. They were WONDERFUL!
Will be thinking of you and watching out for some good news! :)
Always keeping you in my thoughts - throughout this whole process. I hope tomorrow is one of the best days of this pregnancy!
