Cautiously Pregnant After A Loss. PMA, But Not Taking It For Granted.

[too_scared]

Congratulations on the wonderful news Cupcake! A girl added to our little group is wonderful

Thanks Mrs. M. I remember Lozdi saying that bigger babies are easier because gravity helps but still... I hope our kiddo is closer to my size than Shawn's! I can't believe that you are only 5 weeks away from your EDD! That is so nuts. I wonder if Mark will be right and you will go early? What a perfect Christmas gift for your whole family. Enjoy your visit with your mum.

Beautiful picture MMM! You are so pretty! Perfect bump

Kelly, I can't believe that I have less than 100 days to go. I think time is going to really fly now. We have so much to do still! How are you doing? I stopped aspirin at 13 weeks by both my doctor's and the specialist's advice. I know most ladies keep it up until about 34 weeks though.

I am just on a break from house cleaning... I hate housework. I still have to vacuum and wash the floors and wash a few dishes. Shawn's parents are coming for a little visit tomorrow. They haven't been out here for over a year and they want to see the changes we have made to our house. Also, they are bringing out our new TV and the dressers for the baby's room.

Oh, and another little bit of good news, we have someone who is interested in our old car. Yay! It is funny because it is the father of a student of my husband's He wants to buy it for his son because he has a brand new truck and doesn't want his son driving it. So, I think that will really work in our favour. Also, the son keeps posting on my fb ad for the car, he really wants it. I hope it gets sold soon! They are coming to look at it tomorrow.

What a gorgeous bump pic! I meant to say welcome home Pichi not Pixie!
Great news about the car Mindy.

 

[pichi]

Just seen your question Mindy. I think the size of the mum can have a bearing on the size of the baby, but not so much the dad. Having said that I was expecting a big baby as I was 8lb 11 when I was born but Edie was only 8lb 4! I actually don't think it makes a lot of difference when you push them out anyway. Some people say bigger babies are easier as they descend better!

little babies get too comfy haha. its all in the head size but i don't think you'll have a massive babe TS, everyone wonders though- me included!

Hi ladies.

Sorry I've not been around much.

I was getting a bit stressed out since the last ultrasound.

But good news is we had another today and everything's looking perfect and we're having a baby girl!!!!

I am SO over the moon.

Couldn't get any good 4D ones as he was laid on his front the little monkey x

 

[too_scared]

Yay MMM!! Congratulations on another little boy! What a cute picture!

Sorry you couldn't get a 4D picture. We had the same problem at our anatomy scan, kiddo laid flat on his face and refused to move!

 

[too_scared]

Oh, I forgot to mention. Shawn's parents came out for a visit today. They brought out the dressers for us for the baby's room. They also bought us a play yard and a high chair. So awesome of them! I really like the play yard, it is green and grey. My favourite colour is green! It will be very convenient for the kiddo in our bedroom until he is old enough to move to his own room. The high chair is just a chair that straps onto our chair. It is perfect because we have a bar height table and chairs and I think a regular high chair will be very awkward.

Now the only big thing we have to get is a mattress for the crib. We have such awesome families helping us like this!

I hope you are all well and that you all have had a great weekend.

Oh! And I think we have our old car sold. The guy is going to bring the money and pick it up tomorrow

 

[MissMummyMoo]

Great news about the car Mindy and how lovely of your family. It makes things so much easier when the family help out x

 

[pinksmarties]

MMM - congrats on having a boy!! Definitely something in going on in this thread!! Wonderful pics too.

Cupcake - yay for girl!! Drop of oestrogen in this threads testosterone!!

ts- fab news on getting the car sold. I know, we have such good families helping us out, we have gotten so much too.

Kelly - I felt my tiredness fluctuated a lot depending especially on how well I slept. The house definitely took a back seat at times, you'll catch up.


Hi everyone else.

afm - clearly still here and not at the hospital. Not been feeling very well today, had a long sleep this afternoon and just chilled on the settee with OH. Everyman and his dog seems to have phoned or texted today to see if there was any progress!

 

[too_scared]

Pink! You were so quite today I was hoping that you were away having your smartie. I'm sorry you are feeling so rotten today. I hope that means you are feeling so yucky for the best reason! Hopefully smartie is on his way soon. Feel better soon.

We are super lucky to get so much from our families. My parents are getting us the stroller and we are borrowing everything else (car seat, bouncy chair, tummy time mat, exersaucer etc...) from friends of ours. We are very lucky to be surrounded by such awesome people.

 

[MissMummyMoo]

pink I hope Smartie decides to make an appearance soon.

How is everyone today? X

 

[Lozdi]

Hi ladies.

Sorry I've not been around much.

I was getting a bit stressed out since the last ultrasound.

But good news is we had another today and everything's looking perfect and we're having a baby girl!!!!

I am SO over the moon.

A girly to balance things out a bit! Boys were taking over!

Another cheeky boy! Love that scan pic!

 

[Lozdi]

So much positivity on here at the moment, its lovely!

Mrs Miggins I think you will have a girl, usually I think all are boys until proven otherwise but getting a girl feeling for you. We will soon find out!

My oldest turns 8 on wednesday....I just bought a LOT of supplies for baking and cake decorating, I'm going to make a batch of cut out decorations for cupcakes, so that I don't have to buy them in tubs ready made. Got a bunch of ready to roll icing and various cutters. I'm excited! Tenzin is in his bouncy chair grinning at me and making lovely little noises, he is such a good boy.

 

[Lozdi]

Pink I think he will be here before friday, and I hope they don't need to induce you, though there are many positive induction stories so if they do its not the end of the world. Have you been DTD? I did on the morning of the day I went into labour, maybe that helped.

 

[pinksmarties]

Loz - that will be so much fun making your own icing decorations!! I have lovely pictures ion my head of Tenzin rocking away smiling at you.

Not dtd since last Sunday, may have to persuade OH to have a go tonight. I think he was worried that if my waters had gone (which they haven't but I thought last Thursday they might have) then he would be introducing infection. I do have a big haemorrhoid which I find extremely painful and off putting so that isn't helping either. I have my clary sage in my bath, epo, rlt and trying to walk a lot. Its all I think about atm, baby movements -is he moving as much, aches and pains etc and it is beginning to get me down.

I came across on site/forum whilst googling which OH saw too and he was amazed. This women had said she went playing basketball in the morning then swimming, eating pineapple and dtd 3 time in one day - I mean really!!!

 

[Lozdi]

Thats crazy! Maybe she had a feeble attempt at throwing basketball, had a lounge about in a pool for a bit, then had some nice lazy DTD!

I don't know what to suggest about the haemorrhoid but if you don't feel like DTD theres not much to be done about that! It will go away though within a few weeks of birth, its just the pressure of Smartie, and he will be coming out soon so the pressure will be gone! I had a painful one too, and honestly it didn't bug me at all during labour as I was too focused on the good bits.

 

[MissMummyMoo]

Pink I really hope LO decides to come soon, the last few weeks are the worst for waiting!! X

 

[Lozdi]

Oh and pineapple worked so well for me all I did was think about getting some, then my waters started going within an hour
