2015 October Owls! | The chicks are hatching! *16 boys & 8 girls so far!*

[Dark_Star]

Still having cramping/contractions whatever they are when I stand up, pee, or move around too much. I'm doing okay though, they aren't progressing. Thanks for asking

 

[Tink1o5]

Well I'm glad to hear they arnt getting any worse . Hopefully they will start easing up soon

I've been awake an hour after a stupid dream. I always have crazy pregnancy dreams, but this was more real life. I think I've been reading too many other there threads about bad husbands. I guess it's time to go back to be where my amazing hubby is.

I'm so jealous of all of you finding out the gender!! OH and I kind of want to wait til bub is born... But part of me is super impatient and wanting to go shopping! I have a strong feeling it's another boy, but would looooovveee to have a little girl this time as I think it will be our last baby.

Hey! I'm still feeling like death warmed up with this head cold. I would normally take all the medication I could find for it But Obvs not an option. Ginger tea not helping. No energy at all oh been away all week too so no cuddles

 

[craquinette]

detterose, I'm exactly like you!! We're waiting until the birth to have the surprise if it's a boy or a girl, but the suspense is killing me!! And shopping for gender neutral things proves to be a lot harder than I thought! I saw lots of very cute things but clearly not neutral... Luckily there's still plenty of time to prepare!

Tally, hope you feel better soon!! Head cold is no fun! My hubby is away for work too so I understand the lonely feeling!
Hopefully he'll make up for it when he's back

 

[tallybee]

Thanks xxxx

Yeah I've noticed how rubbish the choices are for neutral stuff. Definitely more so than I remember from my other pregnancies. I put it down to more people finding the gender out and companies marketing to that. Xx

I hope your hubby makes up for time away!

My oh doesn't currently live with me so I should be used to it lol but he's been busier than usual all week so haven't seen him at all x

The only cute gender neutral things I've found so far were ridiculously expensive at a small mums/baby shop! If I go to a normal chain shop, they don't have many neutral clothes at all though

 

[craquinette]

We don't live together either yet but we usually spend most of our time together. He's away for work now and I definitely feel the difference!

For the gender neutral stuff, you're probably right in saying it could be because most people find out... But even if I knew what I'm having, I wouldn't want all blue or all pink!!
I think it also depends on where you are. I live in Australia and the choices here are pretty terrible (gender neutral here is either white or gray... Everything else is pink or blue, it drives me crazy!!). But I'm originally from France, and there are so many cute colourful stuff there. You find yellows, reds, greens... So my mum is buying things for me and she'll send it when I'm a bit further along

Urghhh that sucks... could it possibly be Braxton Hicks?

I get them pretty strong in all my pregnancies, I've had a few this time round also and I'm only carrying a singleton

I hope you get your boy! Can't wait to hear!

My mom wanted to start shopping and said she was going to buy gender neutral for now. She couldn't find anything. I forgot to tell her the new color trend this year is white and grey not yellow and green.

were also staying team yellow

Even when i found out my 3rd was a girl after 2x boys, i still didn't go over board on just gender specific colours, her carseat was black, her moses basket was plain white and her vests were white :/ I also bought her cot bedding at first in creams and beiges.... then later on changed that to pink. Even though i had bought clothes for her, i found myself buying alsorts on my iPad at like 4am whilst nursing her it helped to keep me awake slightly and of course who can refuse cute baby things lol

So i figured i might aswell go team yellow and then go mad buying stuff when baby comes along, that way i know for 100% what gender baby is, i know what weight baby is so can get the right size clothes and not think are they too small, too big etc

My plan of action this time is: Ive got a natural cotton (off white colour) snuzpod bedside crib, my mum has bought a mamas & papas Cream/yellow sway rocker

Ill be getting a Cream coloured Maxi Cosi Pebble carseat also....

Clothes wise, ill be getting a pack of white vests and white baby grows to take with me into hospital. When i get home, ill get towels, blankets and more baby grows... There don't need much Then a few months down the line get cotbed, bedding... as baby won't be going in there for a good 4-6months after there born anyways, so pointless buying beforehand

The doctor says it is irritable uterus because of the frequency and cause of the cramps.
