Hi, ece!

Had my scan, I am officially 6w but I know I O'd on cd17 so little less than that really. The machine was grainy but my Dr was very pleased with the size of the gestational sac and the yolk sac. She said the little bean was right up against the wall so hard to see, but measuring right on time. So didn't get to confirm a heartbeat but it's no worry at this point.

Going to schedule next one in 2 weeks and try to get it at a different clinic with better equipment.

Hi ece welcome!!

Cannot wait till we are all here!!!!


Lune so pleased all went well!! It's still very early for hb!!

I had another scan today.....all good and baby is moving like crazy!! Made me relax sooooo much

Il post a pic if I can....I have a crap blackberry so I emailed it to my iPad

 

[c.m.c]

Here goes

lovely to hear cmc!
I finally have my first OB appointment in 8 days. I'm a nervous wreck! I also have my gender scan 4 days after that. I was far too worried to schedule it before my OB appointment :/

 

[c.m.c]

I totally totally and Helena I'd prob have booked the gender scan after!!

Exciting when there's dates to go by.

I am sure all will go perfectly.

I have my official first appt next tues.....but I've sneakily had all these other private scans lol!

 

[Helena_]

we have our appointments on the same day! Will you get another scan then?

 

[c.m.c]

O yes so it is!!!!

Yes il get a scan....according to the hospital they'll never know I've had any scans lol....I actually do ultrasound but went private to a doctor in work for first tri as was scared of an ectopic.....I'm going NHs with the pregnancy so this is my first NHs appt.


Only one week tomorrow to go!!!!! I think taking one week at a time is good. When you get your ob appt then you can enjoy your gender scan....have you any inklings what sex it is?

 

[Helena_]

one week at a time is good. I keep saying, this week I am pregnant and I need to enjoy it. The doppler has really set my mind at ease. I find the hb immediately now. Buying baby stuff has helped pass the time too. The other day I got my hygeia breast pump (it retails for like $300-$400) for $65 and only used once! love a good deal! It's a closed valve system (and hospital grade), so one of the few breast pumps that can safely be used by other users. I also turned my stationary upholstered chair into a rocker/swivel chair. It's so much more comfortable now.

I'm thinking it's a girl and have been for most of the pregnancy. I just keep imagining girly things and the name we have picked out for her keeps flashing in my head. Of course, I have the entire boys nursery and name planned too

It was hard putting my losses behind me (and believe me, it still creeps up), but both hubby and I are trying our hardest to treat this as a separate pregnancy and be excited over buying little bits. I can't pass up a good deal, so anytime I see something nicely priced I jump on it. (my $350 dollar crib and $100 mattress I got for $150. Both were bought by a family, but never used as they coslept). We actually have all nursery furniture (except the ottoman) and just need the cutesy stuff and gear now. I just can't wait to buy the bedding and the stroller! I'll be getting both during a cyber monday (december 2nd) sale. I'm SO tempted to buy them now

 

[c.m.c]

I am tempted to start buying soon too... I'm a huge bargain hunter too ...good deals are a trill lol


I wanna wait to buy and find out the sex, my DH didn't find out with dd o I know il find out alone about 15weeks......I can't stop thinking of boy names.....though I do not care one bit what t is as long as its healthy and gets into my arms around 40 weeks

 

[Helena_]

haha omg! I hope no one takes offense to this, as it was a joke and meant to just shock the person into shutting up.

So hubby and I are getting pretty tired of the "what do you want for gender" question. Neither of us actually care and see the pros and cons of each. We just want a healthy baby as cliche as that sounds. we really don't know how to answer this question anymore because people don't seem to get what we've been through. Our losses are never spoken about, so i try not to let on what a nervous mess I am.
I think he finally got fed up the last time we were asked. We're both super pale, as are both sides of our families. I've joked about what he would do if the baby came out dark (he always says, "have a stern talking to you"). So the last time he was asked "what do you want" he said, "for it to be white"
the face of the person who asked just...dropped. they had no idea how to respond. I just lightly hit him and said be nice. Hopefully that person will stop asking now

what's funny is I always hated the answer of as long as it's healthy. I never saw the connection between gender and health, so it bugged me. I always thought that they had to want one gender over the other. I was dead wrong!

 

[c.m.c]

Haha that's sooooooooo funny!! That's something my DH would come out with too lol

I would love a boy as I'd have one of each but I'd love a girl as i Always wanted a sister and I'd love my dd to have a little sister......so I'm very happy with whatever!!

 

[Helena_]

I think I want a girl for all the cutest girly stuff and to get the "chasing the girl" out of the way (i always feel like people are just waiting for their girl to come). But I also have more experience with boys and think I'd make a better boy mom. I also know what a terror I was when I hit puberty and would LOVE to avoid that lol

 

[twinmummy06]

Helena. The what are you hoping for questions get old real quick. A baby, that's what we are hoping for. I'm with you on not caring about the gender. We really don't care so long as they're healthy.
Yes another girl would be lovely, but I'd love another crazy boy just as much.

My gut says boy this time. But my gut has been wrong before

 

[Helena_]

our guts are full of crazy hormones. They cannot be trusted right now!

guys I am so tempted to buy the stroller right now. Someone stop me! I found the stroller I want in the color DH wants as a travel system. It's not available in stores and is cheaper than what I've seen in stores! I was planning on buying the stroller and car seat separately since the color I wanted didn't come in a set, but I LOVE the green color! I also found a 20% off coupon! oh god... oh and there's no tax! 8% tax on a $300 purchase is a lot!

[Left wonderin]

Lol step away from the stroller !!!!!!! Could you buy it and put it away ?? Well it is a bargain !

 

[Helena_]

I have plenty of space to have it here, but really want to spread everything out more! If I see it even a dollar cheaper than that, I will buy it! We've been saving like crazy for all the baby stuff, so definitely have the money already!

 

[twinmummy06]

I'd buy it
I put ours on layby (lay away is that what they call it over there?) early this time. I had it on layby last time but canceled it after we lost her.

It was still there in the colour I wanted and on special when I went back so took it as a sign.

 

[Helena_]

I should definitely check to see if this site has a layaway option!


edited: nope they don't

honestly...I'll probably get it next month haha DH doesn't have to know what that huge box is in the nursery, right?

Because I had such a hard time finding it in that color (only a handful of stores carry it), I really don't want to chance it! All the other color options on that site are gone too! This color is apparently from 2012, so I don't imagine it being around much longer. Especially as it seems newer models usually come out around xmas time

Helena

That is very similar to the travel system I like. Britax Strider Compact in green
