Babies due in JUNE!

Forums New posts
Welcome iamblessed! Happy to have you join for a H&H9!

As for the pipes, I think I'm most moved by "Amazing Grace" at the Massed Bands. This is a link for the 2010 Ligonier Games (9/11 - even more powerful!)
https://youtu.be/wGOeyhFrI6U My husband is out on the field somewhere!

Sometimes, I think the pipes sounds like dying cows, with an occasional tortured kitten thrown in there. :haha: But that's mostly after being subjected to them for extended periods of time! Generally speaking, I do enjoy listening to them but wouldn't readily admit it to DH.
 
Today we have a plum, a peach and a lemon! You all share the same weekly anniversary day! Mine is Thursday!
 
Hi all. Edd is June 26. Turned 36 in November and was not planning to have another baby so this took us by surprise.
 
WELCOME IcedQueen! Congrats on the surprise!
 
Welcome IcedQueen and congratulations.

Ellie, I got a shiver listening to that. Love hearing that on the pipes!

Great news! My friend's adoption has gone through! The baby was born on Friday night and they were there for all of it. At the beginning of this week, the birth mother surrendered her legal rights and my friend and her DH were appointed guardians for the baby. In 6 months, it will all be finalized!

I've been texting with her but haven't spoken with her on the phone in quite some time. I definitely want to chat with her to hear all about little Max. After all that, then I'll tell her about my own LO. He is such a little cutie and you can just see how excited and beaming she is in the photos. What a relief!

On a little bit of a down note, my cousin had her baby this morning (no worries, everything's fine!). I was sad because they had a girl and named her Abigail, which is what DH and I had chosen to name a girl if we ever had one. So not wanting to sound selfish or anything, but I was definitely a little upset this morning. We'd picked that name over 10 years ago! And while I'd never really thought that we'd have a girl, the scan on Monday with a downward dangle got me thinking that there was a chance. DH was more than supportive and understanding this morning, and I think a little sad himself, but he reassured me that we'd find that "just right" name for our LO. And it's not so much the name that matters but how we raise the child. So back to the name search for girls we go!
 
Ellie, where does this cousin live? I have two cousins on the same side of the family named steven and stephen.... and in Italy, each family has a Giuseppe and a Nicoletta, named after the parents of the brothers....although i think that is just ridiculous and an old-fashioned southern tradition.

Depending on where your cousin lives, maybe you can still use the name??

congrats to your friend on her new baby! Was this the gf that you were hesitant to tell about being preg? I lost track of that situation.
 
Hows everyone doing? I was sick again yesterday and this morning so hope my friend (aka morning sickness) is not on its way back!

On a different note, Ive been trying to master the whole skull theory gender prediction since posting on 2nd tri about my scan and think Ive finally cracked it. Im pretty convinced Im having a girl!! Not finding out in advance though so I guess Ill have a long wait to find out. x
 
Yes, Sunshine. Do you have a short hand version of the skull theory that you can share?

I am sorry to hear you're feeling nausea. I have been UNBELIEVABLY tired for the last 3 weeks. I felt fine before that so I don't know what's going on.
 
Here are a few details about it (scroll down a bit to pictures).

Ferne, I dont know whats going on either. Its like taking 2 steps forward and one back. Im going to bed about 11pm and sleeping for about 12 hours every day.

I know its quite early but I felt bubbles popping in my tummy last night so Im hoping it was baby! (knowing my luck it was wind lol) I cant wait to feel the baby kick properly!

My cousin lives in Mass. so not next door but we're in the same time zone. We're not very close and don't see each other often - I think the last time I saw her was at her wedding in 09! But there's a lot of baggage with that part of the family and it's been getting worse recently. So I could still use the name but it would be really awkward/uncomfortable and might play into some of the baggage.

On the plus side, I can make an extra push for "Cameron" instead, since that's a family name on my mom's side and we're looking for something more Scottish!

Yup, it's the friend that I was hesitant to tell because of her own fertility issues and failed adoption. I'm going to see about talking with her this afternoon when I have a break at work. I want to really hear about her baby and all. Telling her about my story isn't a priority, but if there's a chance I'll take it. Otherwise, I'll try to talk with her next week. I just want to make sure she hears from me and not through the grapevine.
 
sometimes I feel those little bubbles too. it's hard to tell if it just gas (especially if it is because the uterus is growing bigger) or baby is moving.
 
Sunshine, I've been feeling bubbles for weeks. My dr. sis completely assures me that I'm really gassy....and I am :blush: But the kicking (for me) is special but totally disconcerting! LOL. You can't get away from it and you can't chastise to stop because for heaven's sake- I'm not the one being crushed. But definitely a real reminder of the life you're carrying inside.

BTW, what side did your placenta attach to?
 
Snshine, yours looks a bit like mine so maybe mine is a girl too? After looking at that link tho, i thought mine looked like a boy.


I booked my amnio for january 6. Whatever. And I am still working on getting a doc in NJ to write me a script for that darn blood test..... We shall see.

The results of this poll shock me.... But i have never been a mom so......
However, i dont think that i will be one of the negative ones! Neurotic, yes. negative, no. As long as i dont have to play hide and seek. I hate that game.

How surprising! I can understand feeling negative AT TIMES, say after the 1,000,000th reading of a book or tripping over a toy in the middle of the night, but not universally. Everyone I know says they wish they could spend more time with their kids! Though balancing that with the adult parts of their lives as well.

As for hide and seek? Have the kid hide first and then forget to seek! "You're such a good hider! I had no idea where you were! I looked for HOURS and just couldn't find you!"

:hi: SS. Is that another theory? How can you tell? From my photo, the placenta looks like it is on top, but i guess it matters on how the pic was taken??

I am the queen of gas (entire life) and i dont feel those little bubbles, but every now and then i think i feel some sort of movement, wiggle. Dont know really, but my gas gives me crampy feelings above where my uterus would be, not bubble-like!

And not to gross you all out but these sex dreams are like once a week and they really cause me a lot of achey pain down there.

I am feeling less stressed and more confident about my scheduled amnio. It sucks not having OH here to go to these appts with me, but the end result will be worth it.

Today i pulled a sunshine and slep for 12 hours. It felt so great. I think i could fall back asleep if i want. Hmmmm.....

I think its a mirror image isnt it so mine attached to right (I think!) Ive been getting gassy bubbles but these were really odd ones! I havent had them again since I posted though so not sure if it was my imagination! x

It think you are having a boy. ;)

Keep up posted about whether you can get the MaterniT21 test. Its at least good that you have a date for your amnio and you can decide nearer the time what you are going to do. Will your OH be able to go with you for it? xx

p.s Giggled out loud at your "pulling a sunshine" comment. 12 hours is fab isnt it! I havent had that since Thursday. We had a gail force storm so our power went out. I managed one night with no hot food or heating but had to drive to my mum and dads on Friday as OH was going out on a bender and I couldnt hack being on my own in the pitch black! I only got back today. x

p.p.s Ive had loads of sex dreams too. OH isnt pleased as he hasnt featured in any of them yet! lol
