  1. Jealous, I have yet to feel movement...no bubbles, no weird little flutters, nothing. :( hopefully soon!

  2. Careful with cocoa butter! It contains caffeine and is absorbed through the skin, which can affect baby's heart rate.

    I've been told by doctors never to use it.

    You might be better using coconut oil or shea butter :)

    PS: Your belly is looking positively BELLYFUL! Good luck for the rest of your pregnancy!

  3. No worries Heleen... it's coming soon!

    I didn't know about cocoa butter! Oh no. I checked and I'm actually using shea butter so that's a relief!
