I haven't been able to get on here for AGES because I reset my laptop and forgot my password for B&B. Only just been able to get back in.

We found out we're having a boy! We were also lucky enough to get a 4D scan, for medical reasons but all seems to be fine. Here's a bump picture for you too.
Sorry if the pics are big.

Happy birthday Nelly and Chrislo! Hope you ladies have great days with your families.

Nelly: I was at the office the other day and didn't meet you; at this rate we won't meet until we're in the delivery room (haha wouldn't it be crazy if we were in labor together!?) We are strange mystery pomegranates tomorrow!!!

Have a great time on your vacation MrsK! Have lots of virgin drinks and get a good tan (and make sure to keep hydrated!).

AFM: the wedding crunch has officially begun, and I'm just a ball of stress and nerves and tears - this past week it's seemed like I had another hormone shift, I have been bawling, but luckily the past couple days it seems to have tapered-off.
Tonight me and DF are going to the theatre to see Once (Broadway musical). The theatre is near where the first shooting was yesterday, but from what we understand everything seems to have calmed down downtown so we're not worried.

Ah, I'm so sorry I missed you! We better at least meet at the Xmas party!

How was Once? I LOVE Broadway, but without family here we rarely get to do anything like that since we have no evening babysitters. Really need to find a responsible teenager.

ETA: Yay for mutant pomegranates!!!
 
Hi everyone, sorry it's been a while. I was away on a conference, and then work was manic to come back to....so..... Lots of good news to catch up on! Happy birthday to the birthday girlies (I won't sing, you wouldn't thank me), lovely bumps coming along and more genders! Yay!
I had my first of what sounds like many scans yesterday it look at the baby's heart and so far so good, it's normal. They have been cautious and told us that we can't be certain this baby doesn't have the same heart condition our daughter did until the scan is clear at 34 weeks, but each one is a win and we will take it for now and just get through these next few weeks.
Is anyone else starting to realise that in only a few weeks we are going to have babies being born! Like seriously, maybe 16 weeks or so? And with Xmas and holidays between now and then it's just going to fly!
So, it's good to be back, sorry if I've missed anything major but I've had a quick skim read and will now try to catch up properly!
Have a great day everyone :D
 
I sat down and wrote out when I am supposed to have my doctors appointments before baby arrives. With having one every 4 weeks until 29 weeks and one every two weeks after I could meet my little one in just 7 more appointments. OMG!! less than 16 weeks from now at the earliest. Time is flying! :happydance:
i can feel little one go crazy when I sneeze or cough really hard. I also have little accidents when any of those things happen. I have also had issues where I couldn't quite make it to the bathroom but thankfully that hasn't happened in public. :blush:
DH will be heading out for a week up north for work and I'll be making a trip or two around town by myself. :thumbup: This means I can go to goodwill or thrift shops without any complaints. Though I may need to wear a pad in case I have any accidents. I already have a towel to sit on in the car. Maybe it's time to invest in peepee pads. :blush:
My belly is still very sore from baby doing break dancing in my uterus last night. DH actually was able to sleep in the same room as me last night. :happydance: For the last two weeks he has been exiled to the guest room since he had a really bad bout of flatulence while sleeping. Literally woke me and baby up a few times in the middle of the night. Thank goodness he didn't wake me up last night or it would have been a permanent exile. :growlmad:
 
In a few minutes Corporal Nathan Cirillo, the soldier who was killed here in Ottawa on Wednesday, is going to be escorted passed my office. Already bawling.
 
Latest count from the front page: 16 blue and 10 pink bumps. For the yellow bumps, I'm not sure anymore if all of them are waiting until the big day or if some put yellow just because they didn't know yet. In any case, our techs have been spotting a lot of little weenies!
 
It's so sad isn't it Nelly? At least many people are getting to hear about him.

Frenchie, I am planning on finding out, but baby has not wanted to show us yet. 2 ultrasounds and we still don't know. We may end up paying for one in a month or so to see if we can find out then, as hopefully all of the medically necessary ultrasounds will be over.
 
Very sad. Most of us went outside to pay our respects.

I suspect a lot of the team yellows will be little ladies :)
 
I'm still team yellow for sure. Only way we'd find out is at the birth or if they had an ultrasound and little ones bits were right there in our face, lol.
 
Know I've been quiet just kind of following along on here, but just wanted to say I have my scan on Nov 5th but if all works out won't know the gender until the 7th when my sister gives us a gender reveal party! Hopefully I don't peek before handing her the envelope, but I think it will be cool to have our reaction recorded with our family.

There's no way I could ever be team yellow, but congrats to those that are staying strong! I NEED to know lol I'm actually doing ok so far and don't think I'll be too tempted to peek before our reveal, but I need to plan and prepare. There's only so much gender neutral stuff out there. I think that finding out will make it seem more real to me because so far it's still like a dream. After we find out it will make me feel more connected and we can go register, plan the nursery, start buying things, and settle on a name.
 
We had every intention of staying team yellow (due to my not wanting to know), but when the moment presented itself, I HAD to know. I will be announcing to you ladies probably on Nov 3rd or 4th.
 
Just ordered a free Medela PISA Backpack through my office and should get it in 2 weeks. They give a free Medela PISA backpack, tote or metro bag with 6 months lactation consultation for free. This is in addition to the free breast pump I can get through my insurance.

Do you ladies think I should order the same Medela or a different brand through my insurance? Let me know what you think.
 
I'd order the same brand because the pack may have bottles with it. I've also heard wonderful things from friends who have used Medela without issues.
 
I love medela electric pumps. They seem to work better for me than other brands. Plus their bottles are really nice too. I'd go for it!
 
Glad things are looking good, DrMum!

We had a nice first day in Ft Lauderdale. Wish we'd had just a little more time and better weather - I didn't make it into the hotel pool. But we had some good food and a nap, which is what I really needed. I can swim on the boat. I probably won't be checking in from the cruise, so I hope everyone has a good week :)
 
Registered for our childbirth classes today!!!

They start in January and its a 6 week course. It includes breastfeeding and care, which were the other 2 classes I was looking at taking.
 
Realized my belly ring hole has closed, which for some reason made me sob. DF said I could get it repierced after the birth, though I don't know if I will now... I've had it for 15 years, I can't believe it!
 
I haven't had to take my belly ring out yet! It's starting to get uncomfortable so the other day I ordered a maternity one so we will see how that is once it gets here.
