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

[GingerPanda]

I'm sorry to hear about your mom, 3boys. But so glad you're sleeping better now!

I can't wait to see my bean either, but I'm soooo nervous about the heartbeat!


I've been sleeping well, except I keep having crazy dreams that wake me up a lot. Don't have any problems falling asleep again, though.

 

[Mrs Mel]

I love the front page by the way GingerPander! Very pretty!

 

[GingerPanda]

Thank you!

Lots of pages to read through!

Yes, cramping. And when I cough, sharp pains. It's a little more intense this time around. I'm feeling much better today. No sick feeling or dizziness. I'm thinking my water intake makes a big difference in how I feel.
I am, however, extremely bloated still. I look like I'm 4 months along and have actually gained 4 lbs on the scale.

I have a list of names picked out already lol. For a boy, Miles, Asher, Beckett and Fletcher. For a girl, Charlotte, Avery, Quinn, Cora, Macy, and Reese. Girl names are so hard to choose from!

If we have another boy, I won't have to buy much. I still have everything. I just need a double stroller and a bassinet. Tristan slept with me, and then the pack n play before going in his crib.

I did take another test yesterday morning. It's not any darker, but not any lighter either. My appt is on Monday, so I'm looking forward to that.

I'm glad I'm not the only one still taking tests! Its my only way of really showing myself that he/she is there!

I love your names! We don't have many picked out yet, we decided on Elizabeth Jayne if it's a girl & DH wants Owen if it's a boy, but I prefer Oliver! I'd love to have some back ups though.

We're currently preparing ourselves for a second dog & it took us long enough to name her!

I can't wait to go shopping for baby things

Forgot how hands off our pregnancy care can be lol.... rang my gp surgery. Receptionist said she has put my name in the midwifes books and she will be in touch with me at 9-12 weeks to make an appointment.... What?! That seems like a lifetime doesn't it.

 

[GingerPanda]

I have a nephew named Tristan. He's 21 now, so that makes me feel old, even though I'm only 5 years older than him. I had already been married 3 years at his age!


My favorite boy names right now are Layne ("Lane", but hub's grandpa and my dad were both named Larry Wayne, so we thought we'd smash them together as a tribute), Fynn, Zeran, Warren, Kieran, Rowan, Lucian, Blaze, and Cadence (nickname "Cade"). I just realized most of these end with N. Wow.

My favorite girl names are Fianna, Azure, Harper, Zelda, Nova, Lucina, and Wren.

 

[3boys]

My names are Aaron for boy and Hannah for girl

Had an informational meeting at the doctors today. Set my first real appointment and scan for Feb 25th.

Welcome to all the new ladies! Our group is filling up!

 

[Serenjay]

wow lots of pages to read

Hi newbies and welcome..

Yes I too am having some small cramps I think..either that or its my severe constipation

I have my scan Monday 9am.. so nervous... and midwife is seeing me next Saturday... she is seeing me early because of my 7 losses. They normally dont see women until around 10 weeks.

Im so tired but boobs a little less painful.... I wont buy a thing, I am still going wee by wee

Hope everyone is well

 

[GingerPanda]

Good luck, Serenjay!


I have officially gotten sick for the first time! It was almost in the phlebotomist's lap, but she grabbed the trash can just in time for the hurling.

She goes, "You're pregnant, aren't you. It's a boy, I'm telling you now!"

Oh no! I feel bad for those that are actually getting sick. I am one of the lucky ones. I always thought girls = more sickness though?

 

[Serenjay]

I had a lot more morning sickness with my girls....

I spoke to soon about the Boobs... they have grown and cant touch them for all the pain in an hour n bit... ouch!!

 

[KrazyMomma]

I can't sleep continuously at night. My legs are killing me

 

[Serenjay]

My Dr told me the best thing for restless leg is tonic water.. and guess what.. she was right.. its the quinine its amazing!!

 

[GingerPanda]

Cheree, I'm actually excited to be sick! It's a symptom I've never had before! And I've had loses, so it comforts me that something's different about this one.

I don't know about the boy vs girl sickness thing. My mom was never sick with me or my sisters. But she miscarried a boy at 13 weeks, and was quite sick with him.

 

[KrazyMomma]

"Is it safe to drink it now ? In many forums they say guinine is not good while pregnant "

My Dr told me the best thing for restless leg is tonic water.. and guess what.. she was right.. its the quinine its amazing!!

 

[GingerPanda]

My doctor told me not to drink anything with quinine in it while pregnant.

 

[Serenjay]

I was told it was fine.. it has a small amount to do the trick for restless legs but not enough to cause harm,..I buy the one with lemon in and it helps nausea too my Dr recommended it.

found this...

The amount of quinine in tonic water is less than 100mg per litre of tonic water.
The amount of quinine in a quinine tablet is about 300mg and the dose for malaria is 600mg three times a day (1800mg daily for a average adult)

It is in Pregnancy Category D because in high doses it has been shown to cause foetal abnormalities, however, in food substances (such as tonic water) it is generally recognised as safe.

All of you started sleeping sideways only already or is it too early to start doing that?
