Good luck on your appointments Mrs.Bump and Lil Steph!

I can't seem to shake feeling so emotional latelyhopefully I can get out of this slump soon! I am paranoid about movement lately, constantly thinking is he moving around enough. But every time I concentrate on it, its not long before he moves. Very anxious for labor I've been brushing up on my reading for natural labor again. Its such a different perspective reading them again once you've already been through labor once. I've read Ina Mays Guide to Childbirth and Birthing From Within, I highly recommend both

 

[Mrs_Bump]

Its a boy! Yep they got it wrong. But he's measuring well so I'm super happy because I've been so worried. Please change my stork.

 

[Twag]

OMG Mrs Bump really?? Have you bought much in terms of girls stuff?

So please he is growing well tho

 

[aley28]

OMG Mrs Bump!!! That's a surprise Well, congratulations on a second boy! And its great that he's measuring so well, that trumps all!

 

[Mrs_Bump]

Very little pink. I have already donated most of it to the refugees. Haven't let go of the first dress I bought though. I feel really at peace with it. I'm thinking Ben. It just feels right. Is that weird?

 

[Twag]

Not weird at all Mrs Bump so pleased he is doing well and Daniel is going to have a baby brother - what did Mr Bump say?

 

[aley28]

Not weird at all! I was actually massively relieved when we learned Parker was a boy (though we saw it clearly at 20w) ... it was like I had always known he'd be a boy and I was very excited. I'm glad you're at peace with it! That sure would have made for a very exciting birth though, huh? Ben is a cute name!

 

[Twag]

Same with Elliot Aley I knew deep down he was a boy but was trying to convince myself it was a girl but as soon as she said boy I was just relieved as it fit in place

Love the name Ben it was my boy name but my sister named my nephew Ben 9 years ago lol (she stole it!)

 

[Mimzy3]

Mrs_Bump that is so good that you are at peace with it I know many women who would not be handling it well. I really don't know what my reaction would be. I think I would be disappointed if we found out our little boy was really a girl but then I would know its all in God's plan and whatever the babies sex is that is what its supposed to be Also awesome news that he is growing right on track!

 

[littlesteph]

Its a boy! Yep they got it wrong. But he's measuring well so I'm super happy because I've been so worried. Please change my stork.

OMG!! wow, can't believe they got it wrong, so glad he's doing well x

 

[littlesteph]

So nervous for tomorrow, I keep trying to think why would they want me to see a consultant so soon. why can't it wait till when I was meant to have it on the 28th.
The guy that did my scan said baby looked fine. He couldn't do any measurements because I only had my growth scan on the 28th, but there is so much going through my head.

 

[DHBH0930]

Steph: good luck at your appt! Hope it goes well and eases your mind when it's over.

Mrs bump: for your stork changed! That's so crazy! Makes me nervous that my girl could turn out to be a boy when born! I have no other scans left. It was confirmed girl twice, as was DD1 and I was still nervous that I would be surprised at birth

Afm: I've been more tired lately too, the other day over the weekend I took 2 naps! And could've slept more. This little girl is just as crazy active as DD1 was. She NEVER stops moving in there!!! I don't count kicks cuz she seriously rarely stops. My weight is out of control, I know I can lose it all but worried about my BP and VBAC, I have NO self control when pregnant

Moved DD1 to her bif girl room yesterday! But didn't put her in her big girl bed. I'm not ready and neither is she. I need my sleep while I can get it and I KNOW the nights will be bad if she can get put of her bed. So we moved the crib in there. We won't need it till this one's is like 4 months old or so. So plenty of time to switch her over.

Here is her new room!

 

[DHBH0930]

A couple more. I was SO excited to finally be able to do this pink/green, owl/flower/butterfly room

 

[Twag]

Steph - hope your appointment goes well today

DHBH - love the room it is so pretty - DS is in his new big boy room we have done it dinosaur themed and he loves it and also he actually loves his big boy bed although he does look tiny in it and we have had no issues at all with his sleep or him getting out etc in fact he is excited about getting into it
I was super nervous tho and had all the same thought but DH pushed me and tbh I am now glad he did

 

[Sunny27]

OMG Mrsbump!!!! So happy to hear baby is measuring well. That makes me so nervous, I have finished the nursery and bought big items for a girl. When I had my scan I wasn't convinced it was a girl, but Dr. assured me that they wouldn't guess if they weren't at least 90% sure. I have one more scan at 36 weeks but will have had my shower by then.

 

[Mimzy3]

Good Luck Steph let us know

DHBH: her room is very cute! I'm sure she is excited about her big girl room! I was the same as Twag was very nervous about it but DH pushed for it and it was a breeze, so glad we did it. I think she'll suprise you DHBH and be ready when you are to make the transition

I'm so exhausted today but I haven't been sleeping well. The other night I kept waking up with bad heartburn. And every night I wake up to go to the bathroom or just because I'm uncomfortable several times a night. I remember this happening towards the end with DS too I think I'm gonna try and go to bed earlier from now on and try and get as much sleep as I can before the baby comes!

 

[aley28]

DHBH that room is gorgeous! I love it!

Steph, I hope everything goes well with the consultant today and that they just moved you up to be on the safe side Let us know!

AFM Yesterday I had a headache that was bordering on a migraine and it wouldn't go away. I hate how you can only take Tylenol during pregnancy. Fortunately it went away after 9 hours of sleep, so that's good I guess.

I am slowly pulling the bigger bedroom at our house apart for the boys. I made him clean it [again] yesterday and then I took everything down off the walls that I could reach (except the curtains of course )... Today I'm going to wash the walls, tomorrow I'm going to tape off all the trim, and finish up a patch job that just needs some texture. Then on Saturday my SIL is coming over and we're going to paint it blue and it's going to be Avengers themed, as both my boys are in love with those superheroes right now. But just decals and bedspreads... so it'll be easy enough to change themes later on if they want.

Then I can finally start on the nursery YAY!

 

[Twag]

I am working from home today due to having yet another dizzy spell where is just do not feel safe enough to drive or go anywhere I got up at night to pee and had to hold myself up using walls and furniture it was like I was on a boat or drunk

Yay for nesting aley (it all counts )

I today have washed all the clothes I have new for baby one of the perks of working from home you can do the washing

 

[Mrs_Bump]

Honestly it's super rare they get it wrong. She didn't even hedge very much on saying girl and we saw lines but I just can't be upset about it because these things happen and all I've ever wanted was for this baby to be ok. It's still the same baby and he's an impressive 5lb 12 already. It's all I wanted. I don't do overly gendered stuff anyhow. I'm donating the pink bits to the charities helping the refugees and the local food bank. I just feel so blessed to have a healthy baby.

Hope all is ok for you Steph.

 

[Twag]

He is a good weight already Mrs bump considering they were worried about size 👍 so is he right on track now? 😊
