Here's the pregnancy announcement we sent out to our extended family a few weeks ago. We're thinking of maybe doing a christmasy themed FB announcement after thanksgiving once we know the gender.

Thanks, ladies. :flower:

Krissy, I love the announcement. Your DD is adorable. I'm also starting to feel more pregnant. Bending over to pick things up is starting to feel like a chore, and when I wake up in the middle of the night, I walk like an old lady because my hips hurt. Oh the joys! :winkwink:

Estel, glad you had a great scan. :flower:

Esperanza, sorry you're dealing with so many aches and pains. Did you find out your baby was a girl through a scan or a blood test? If it was a blood test, they're supposedly 99% accurate at determining gender, but if it was an ultrasound, they can definitely be wrong this early.

Flossie, love the crib and changing table! We do baby showers here, but usually just for your first, although some people do one if you're having the first of the other gender (wasn't the case for me, though). Some people get baby showers for every child, which I think is a little weird, unless you're just giving diapers or something.
 
I don't mind the baby shower for every child, most people still need small things for every child!! But everyone's opinion on this varies!! :)
 
Had my gender ultrasound today!
It's definitely a boy!!

Awww congrats JA!!!!

Spiffy, I understand!!! I hope to celebrate this baby with a small shower or a "sprinkle" as they are called :haha: we don't need much, we used cloth diapers and we have furniture from dd. Mostly just little things, pump replacement tubes which apparently my insurance will cover, new nippples for the glass bottles, little baby needs.. it'll be fun and it's just there in case anyone wants to know specifically what we need, and if not no biggie, we will get what we need on our own!
I personally love registries because I want to get someone something they will actually use or that they like, and normally I don't know what to buy people, except on the occasions I've come across something that has been incredibly useful that new moms may not know about, then I get them that and explain why I got it.. if they return it for something else I don't mind! :)
 
LOL congrats on :blue: JA! That's definitely one of the clearest boy pics I've ever seen!

Yes, we noticed right away! And I was so worried about being told the wrong gender since I'm only 15 weeks lol. The ultrasound tech even said it was one of the easiest to spot in a while.

He had the hiccups half the time and the other half of the time he was playing with himself. :dohh: such a boy already lol
 
I was planning on buying baby clothes on black Friday, but I saw today they were already having the sale! So I bought some things today. I hung them up is his closet when I brought the home, and now I just want to finish the whole room! :haha:

Since it will be nearly summer when LO gets here, do I still need to put him in long-sleeves? I've read they don't control their temperature well, and we will mostly be in doors with A/C! I wasn't 100% on what newborn clothes to buy today. First time mom probs! :haha:
 
Ja - my dd was born in August. I still kept her in long sleeves coming home from the hospital or at night but mostly tee shirt onsies after that. They are not as temp sensitive as the hype and in the summer months overheating is just as much a concern.
 
Ah over in nz may is almost winter so I have the opposite problem, I'm worried about keeping baby warm, this is my first too, so I'm completely clueless. I am lucky that my MIL and my SIL are knitting things for the lo, so that is a plus
 
I'm wondering the same thing about long sleeves because my DD was a winter baby and this baby is a summer baby...hmm. I think I'll get mostly short sleeve onesies and sleepers and then have some layers to put over inside in the A/C. I really liked those little long sleeve kimono snap style shirts for DD when she was a newborn. They have built in mittens since newborn nails are sharp.

Krissy - good point about overheating. My DD has always run kind of warm so when I would bundle her up in the winter I sometimes overdid it. She's still like that.

Ja - Where did you buy stuff from? I just saw that Carters and Baby Gap have black Friday deals today. It's crazy how early they are starting Black Friday this year!

NZkiwi - that's wonderful your MIL and SIL are knitting things. I love knits on babies!!
 
I went to Carter's, and Gymboree! Gymboree had the better deals, everything I bought was less than $6.99. ... I also walked into Oshkosh, but even at 50% off it seemed a little expensive to me. I'll probably check a few second hand stores, and then wait on my baby shower so I don't end up with way too much.
