I had a placental abruption and an emergency cesarean
. Various factors contributed- high Bp and my placenta wore out ahead of time (so the Bp easily ripped it) I'm planning a 2nd cs

Wow, that must have been scary! A second c/s would be for the best.
 
i'm not sure we'll have a nursery by the time baby arrives. i think it will take lots of bargaining with OH on how to rearrange space.... but i'm not worried/phased about it right now. (ask me in 6 months, ha). i think a boob/formula, a pack and play, and a sleep sack should be good for a few weeks. then again, i'm sure i'll change my mind 03092843 times and get nesty and want every theme under the sun all smashed together.
 
We went to the store yesterday and bought baby bottles since it was the only thing we could get without specific colors for boys or girls. I just wanted to get something. Now I'm looking into a crib, so far Walmart has the best deals, but I'm not sure about the quality. We still have plenty of time though.
Have you ladies gone out t purchase anything yet?
 
i have some stuff i bought years ago stashed in my closet. so excited to finally get it out! i went to the store today and bought some "to my aunt at christmas" cards for my sisters to announce to them - i cant wait!
 
I don't need to buy alot. I'm hoping the timing lines up perfectly for Jace to go in a big bed and no#2 to go in the cot. Alot of things are just getting moved from one room to the next (the reason I wanted them close together!)
I just need a new bassinet (Jace was very spewy so I didn't keep the old one), 2nd seat for my strider plus, a 2nd carseat and HOPEFULLY a few pink things! If its a boy I'm pretty set though lol. This poor baby will get so many hand me downs lol.

Awww that's going to be cute! I wish I had a stash somewhere. That way we could focus on the big stuff, but I guess just the idea of having or buying things that you know you can finally use is a great feeling in its self.
 
I have a few girl items I bought before I even fell pregnant with Jace- if I don't need them this baba I guess ill be selling them!

lol..well you timed that just right huh!!! But if it is a boy you will save a lot of money. My gender predictor says its gonna be a girl, did you try a online gender predictor?
 
The one that's in denyses signature (I think it's countdown to pregnancy) says girl but all the others I've found by googling say boy!
Jace will be 18.5 months when this one is born :) I'm so excited to see them together!
 
I have some adorable girls boutique style outfits i've bought because I couldn't ignore/pass up the cuteness. I also have a few beanies and booties, bibs, etc.

I make baby girl headbands so if I have a girl, glad I won't have to buy any of those.
 
I'm tempted to buy some items but I'm waiting for the scan to actually go out and do any type of shopping... just in case...

Also preparing for my DS's 4th birthday, he'll be 4 on Dec 30th! :)

I'm also feeling the same way about our PG in connection to loss.... My father passed away on August 10th, it was very unexpected and has just been overall awful with the holidays... His birthday was Dec 22nd but he was a big Christmas kind of guy, always went out of his way to buy me and my siblings the best things he could think of.. I think of this as his Christmas gift to me... and since our due date is so close to his death date, I think of it as a sign to be happy in August around that time, rather then sad :)

My whole body is achy today :p I wish U/S machines were more intense and could see more sooner :/ I'd love to have my appt on Monday to set things straight in my mind lol but not even the best u/s machines around my area can see earlier then 5-6 weeks :p
 
I think I will probably be having another boy (don't know why!) in which case the new baby won't need much. We're in the process of decorating a big boy bedroom for my DS which I'll aim to move him into before this one arrives.

I do have one dilemma - will I need a double buggy? For most of the time I don't think so because we have 2 pushchairs so DH and I could both push but I think on maternity leave I might have to. DS will be 2.5 when this one is born. Any thoughts?
 
Today is the day I'm supposed to be due but instead I had A BFP Again this morning. So happy!!

I think if your hubby won't always be there you may need a buggy as my lo is nearly 3 and still needs hers when we go on long walks where she gets tired etc. But I suppose if you have a car you could maybe get away with your lo just walking for short times. I've never had one but I'm sure you can get a buggy board (I think this is what it's called) where the older one stands up being pushed along x
 
I've kept loads of clothes from my DD as couldn't bare to part with them haha so I'm sorted if it's a girl! But I've also got lots of unisex vests and babygrows, hats, mits, etc as we were team yellow last time so didn't buy girl things til after she was born. I'm so excited to find out this time and be able to take pink or blue stuff in with me haha.
I'm still feeling very sickly, it's awful as it's constant :( just eaten breakfast hoping that would help but actually feel worse now. I'm also having cramps on and off but more on, I'm hoping it's beanie getting nice and cosy in there :)
 
SORE BOOBIES today. Like majorly. They're progressively getting worse. Never had sore bbs in my life before! Lol. They hurt :/ But so worth it! Little twinges here and there but not much cramping or anything today. I've had a really runny nose and a tingle in my throat, hope I am not getting sick.

Took my 5 week 'bloat' picture. A whole lot more bloat then I would like to have lmao. Can't wait to see the pics progress into an actual baby belly!

Yaaaay Emma!!
 
WanaBaba- Did you move your due date up?? Just confused how your ticker is ahead of me when your due a day after :haha: Sorry about the sickness :hugs: But they say it's a great sign of a sticky babe!! :)
 
Morning :wave:

Not a great start to the day, my son has got HFMD :( ... So now the wait for my daughter to get it! Looks like we are home for the week.
