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

[nmpjcp2015]

Congrats Shelby! Yay team pink!!!

Bathbabe, I'm playing the same mental game. I've convinced myself it's a girl, so I won't be disappointed in a couple of weeks. Haha. I hope my mind tricks work!

Im so jealous of you ladies who already know your babies gender! I wont be finding out till 20+3 and thats only IF baby is playing ball!! X

It's so hard to wait! It would be 20+5 for us if I hadn't bit the bullet and paid £45 for the private one, could NOT wait that long

Do you have an inkling either way? xx

Boy, but I think thats only because I dont wanna get my hopes up for a girl. I dont have a gut feeling, its more just me getting myself ready to be told boy so im not disapointed its not a girl. Does that make sense??
After years of trying for this baby id love for it to be a girl so i get to experience both, I dont know if I have enough strength left in me to try for another baby for so long in the hopes of finally getting a girl x

Yeah that makes sense xx Fx you get your pink bundle

The only reason we went early at all is because the place we chose had a special 2D gender scan for only $50 and if babe didn't cooperate or the tech wasn't 100% you come back for another scan free. DH's mom sent us some money for an ultrasound as a gift so it didn't really come out of pocket. We feel really lucky because the raise we would be waiting until our 20 week scan too! Is really recommend those specialty places though. The equipment is better and the tech really cared in our situation. The cord was in the way so we waited and pushed a bit to move it and bam three white lines clear as day. We even got a discount for a return visit for $79 for the 3D ultrasound so we are going to do that sometime after 30 weeks!

That's fab! It's great finding a good scan place.

Hi ladies, I am due October 3 with my second

Hi! Congrats and welcome to the group xx

I have my anatomy scan booked may 13th. Thats when I am hoping to find out. The only place around me that does gender scans cost $100, and they won't do it if you have any complications. So since I am still dealing with my SCH, and I'm still bleeding they won't even consider it.

Congrats shelby!

I am also doing that bathbabe... Feel like if I allow myself to think its a boy, then it's going to end up a girl and il be disappointed. Obviously will be happy with either but would love to experience a boy. This is my second and last so I would like to at least see what it's like raising a boy xx

 

[3boys]

I always have to protect myself that way don't get me wrong I adore my boys and can't wait to hold this little man but the family dynamics are a little crazy. Never imagined I'd be the mother of 6 boys. I just pray my daughter gets a sister eventually.

 

[tallybee]

Hi how's everyone doing today x

 

[GingerPanda]

I'm doing well!

A bit fed up with my mother, though. She's already trash talking my ability to name a child, and she doesn't even know the name we picked! I wasn't going to tell anyone in my family the name because I didn't want anyone talking bad about it and trying to ruin it for me, but clearly she's going to do that whether she knows the name or not!

 

[shelby1090]

Aw Ginger that's to bad I hope se gets her act together and realizes she should just be supportive and excited.

 

[GingerPanda]

If she keeps going, I'm going to tell her I don't trust someone who would name their child what she named me to have any input on naming my children.

Hailey/Hayley/Hayleigh is Old English for "someone who cleans dirty hay out of horse stalls", basically! She named me THAT and says I'M going to "pick something weird"!

Lol.... That's funny!

In her defense, I don't think many people consider name meanings anymore.

I think your chosen name is really pretty and unique. My advice: even if you'll hear about it either way, I wouldn't tell her the name. People have a way of ruining things for you... Shame.

 

[tallybee]

Ah ginger that's a shame. I hope she stops going on at you about names. I agree people don't always think about name meanings but how the name sounds.

I've got a list of names I like to discuss with oh

 

[cdelmar]

Congrats Shelby!!!

Ginger people are going to have their opinions we just have to stand by what we chose as a name. The only opinions that matter is you and your husband's.

Spot on xx

For the record GingerPanda I think your lo's name is beautiful x

 

[Chrissi1981]

Oh my goodness that would drive me crazy GP. My mom is very supportive of our choice in names. For a boy we are very much liking Théodore James. Mainly because Théodore is known in France and England so no complications for the English or French side of the family. James is my dad's middle name 😃 I think it suits hehe xxx

 

[GingerPanda]

My MIL is being an angel about it. She said it was up to us, whatever we wanted to name her. She said naming your kids is one of the few freedoms we have in life.

But my mom is being a monster!

 

[MissR]

I love the name you have picked ginger. I purposely didn't tell anybody my daughters name until she was born as I didn't want anybody putting me off!

Chrissi me and OH was just discussing Theodore James (my OH is called James, and in a long line of them) a couple of nights ago for if we had a boy. I think it's a lovely name!

Had a long day and I'm not very well. OH has given me a head cold and I've just had to drive for 3 hours getting my friend from the airport. Now I have horrible back ache and a headache. What are we allowed to take during pregnancy? I hate paracetamol but think I may need something soon xx

 

[Chrissi1981]

Hehe Théodore is a very popular name like Noah and Harry which I also like but my hubs said no to the later two boooo great name choice hehehe xx

 

[Rainstorm]

Ginger you shouldn't let her bother you. It's your choice. Period. I Know my inlaws won't be too happy that we're naming DD (if sex is confirmed) Evelina (My grandma's name), esp. since my DS is named after my dad. It wasn't even my choice, OH picked both of them. Her second name is his grandma's name... but I know they won't be thrilled it comes second.
Anyways I feel awful. DS has been annoyingly clingy all morning, I did everything in my power to keep him happy and he kept wining.He's not usually like that, he's a dear, but today he made me snap. I went up to my aunt's next door and practically begged her to take him off my back for a couple hours. NOw I feel like a bitch, I know the pregnancy hormones aren't helping...

 

[Babee_Bugs]

Hey ladies, so sorry i haven't been in for a while....

Today i had the lovely pleasure of doing my GTT (glucose test for diabetes) It was disgusting!. With my other kids i had the lucozade and i quite like that... But today it was like very concentrated orange squash, it was soo sweet as though it need more water adding to it lol.

Thankfully i haven't had a phone call today, but have to go back when I'm 24 weeks, as it doesn't tend to show up at 16weeks?! i was like WTF honestly what was the point in me doing it this early for? :/ I had to fast for 14hours in total, and all they kept talking about in the waiting room was food! arghhhhhhhh lol

Ginger i wouldn't worry on the name, Your baby your choice. i didn't tell anyone until i was about 30weeks pregnant (until i knew all my friends and family members had their kids and didn't pinch it ) We called her Layla and lots of people said there liked it, but were insistent it needed a middle name!? None of us including me and the OH have a middle name, so why would i start now? made no sense to me and it takes me all my time to get the one name.

I have found this time round, i have some how avoided the "any names yet?" as it takes people time to think of something to say when I'm like "nope were not finding out the gender" they more shocked at that lol

 

[DoubleTFun]

I never had to deal with anyone ridiculing my name choices. Tell your mother it is your choice and your child. Stand up for yourself and don't back down!

No one has even asked me me what names we are thinking of they are still worried about what genders we are having. That is my biggest concern and the names will come. I think I'm finally okay with letting my hubby pick the names. It's one less thing for me to worry about.
