everyone is having a boy here so far!!!

It's crazy! I was even checking out the March Monkeys group, and there are MANY more boys than girls... last I checked I want to say 10 boys, 3 girls?? Something like that. Something in the water the month we all conceived?

 

[ruby83]

Yay for all the little boys! Anyone confirmed names yet?

We are pretty set on Charlie Oscar 👍

 

[jtink28]

We are doing Lincoln Trace (trace is my dads name)

 

[BellaRosa8302]

Love the names so far!

Ours will be Jacob Henrik.

Jacob was supposed to be my husband's name, but when he was born, his father had a change of heart & insisted he be named after him (James Paul, junior). So Jacob is kind of our way of naming him after daddy but yet giving him his own name.

Henrik was my grandfather's name. DH loves the name!

Hi ladies, how is everyone doing? I've had a super busy week but want to start planning the nursery on the weekend. When I was pregnant with DS we were renovating our house so couldn't do his nursery until after he was about 8 weeks when we moved back in. My spare room is a bomb site at the moment so need to get stuck into it!!

:wave: Hi Ruby! Feels like it's been forever since our last chat!

I'm doing well - VERY tired. I have a feeling that I'm anemic, so I'm trying to do something to help that.

I totally hear you on the nursery - I am anxious to get ours started as well, especially because I've got two amazing ladies at work that want to make my LO blankets (one is a quilter, and one loves to crochet!) They're asking me for colors and themes, and I just have no idea!!!

How lovely Bella! And ideas on colours etc? So far I thinking of a mid blue striped wall for behind the cot (just have to pick the right shade of paint and find a painter). Hopefully I'll pick up some more ideas today!!
I'm also planning my DS big boy room. I have found a bed I love, just need to go check it out in person!

I have a physio app this morning, I'm starting pre-natal Pilates next week. Also still trying to walk regularly. Still getting sooo hungry!!! Enjoy your weekends lovelies xx

That sounds adorable! You'll have to post pics! I don't know... I was thinking maybe whales & anchors with shades of blue from baby blue to navy, but I just don't k ow for sure. Seems a bit overdone. Walls are cream & DH is unwilling to paint them again so cream they will stay... We are also redoing our guest room for DD's big girl room, so that wil get painted. I've already ordered her new curtains and a bedspread. Can't wait !

 

[ruby83]

What do you mean "over done"? I haven't really seen that idea before. I live it!

I have a few more ideas for the new nursery but have so far mainly focused on Harry's big boy room. We have ordered a bed which will be here end of November. Here are some of my ideas so far- first pic is the floor mat, bed, quilt cover, pillow and art works. Hope my attachment works!

 

[BellaRosa8302]

OMG that's adorable!!!!! LOVE IT - especially the bed! How cute!! Good luck with it & keep us posted with pictures!

 

[ruby83]

Thanks Bella!

Here are my nursery ideas...So the wall behind the cot will be blue and white horizontal stripes, with a big red 'C' for Charlie (not O). The bottom are the pictures for his wall. The airplane is a ride on the will sit in the corner and the hot air balloon will hang in the corner near the cot.

Thoughts? Thanks!!

Cute!!! So you're doing kind of a flying and animal theme together, with blue, white and red? Especially loving the brother sign - too adorable!!!

 

[ruby83]

Yeah it's like a vintage circus like theme I guess 😀

 

[BellaRosa8302]

Oooooo! I love the way that sounds! Very different too!

Hi ladies, how is everyone feeling? My 20 week scan is booked for 5th November! Can't believe it, time is flying! With Christmas between now and then our babies will be here before we know it!

My belly is getting bigger and it's getting hard to fit into my normal clothes. Going to buy a couple of maternity dresses to hopefully get me through!

Hope you are all wellxx

 

[BellaRosa8302]

Ruby, you're not in maternity clothes yet?? Lucky girl!! I had to start wearing them (pants at the very least) 3-4 weeks ago at least!

So exciting about our scans coming up! Mine is November 4th happy 19 weeks!

 

[ruby83]

I've gotten away with wrap dresses and pants with elastic waist. Maternity clothes can be so comfy though! Anything tight on my belly now is annoying!
Agh you beat me with your scan this time! How exciting! Can't believe we are practically half way already!

 

[BellaRosa8302]

Haha, we're just taking turns

I know, part of me feels like this pregnancy is dragging... but the other part of me feels like it's flying by! I guess when you even that out, it's right on time, right??

It's been such a long week... so glad it's Friday! I hope this day flies by!

 

[ruby83]

Bella how did your scan go today? I have mine tomorrow afternoon. Very excited to see nun again! He has been moving about like crazy! I'm guessing he is going to be measuring big but we will see soon enough. X
