Curvy ladies

[Cherrybinky]

Well I'm a retro kinda gal thanks for asking for me. Deep down I'm wishing we hadn't got it now as its such an old style and everyone is getting funky new ones x

 

[pink sparkle]

So sorry about the redundancy hearts x Happy Birthday and hope you have a great weekend away in Blackpool x

Han - love your pram what a bargain, im considering getting one from ebay but the ones im looking at are so expensive even for second hand and im kinda thinking i may aswell pay the £100.00 more and get a new one! Ive got ages yet though so will keep looking on there in hope that i can nab one cheaper, im after a phil and teds explorer or ideally i want the icandy peach blossom which is ridiculously expensive.

Rachel - can you post a pic of your pram im intrigued, or is it already in here somewhere? Also have a lovely weekend with your parents x

My hubby best friend has just come round and hes organising a suprise wedding for his fiance, so excited and i get to help out with finding venues etc.

[pink sparkle]

Wow i think its lovely, i admire your individuality and think it suits you like han said xxx

My mum always raves about the prams they used to have and how they were much better than modern ones nowadays x

 

[Cherrybinky]

Thanks Pink

I said I wanted a pram with small wheels, sturdy frame and hood for winter. Mum manages a hospice shop and said one had come in but she didnt think Id want it with it being second hand and an older style but when she sent me a photo, I loved it. Ive been down to look at it and its got rain and storm cover, cosy toes etc with it. £40 cant complain! The front wheels are swivel ones so its easy to push and manage. Im getting a baby carrier as well for summer time. x

Its such a lovely pram I love it, I wonder now what happened to it after Holly finished with it!

Right you girls got me on a right mission today with baby names.... posted in second tri too but no response yet....

31 days, 12 hours and 40 minutes until our 20 week scan when we find out baby's sex!!! I'm so excited but know I've got such a long wait ahead of me.

So for a boy I think we've settled on:

Roscoe John Varela (John after my dad who has all daughters)

For a girl, we were thinking of:

(I should say that my partner is half Spanish so we wanted to use some Spanish influence and my daughter is called Holly becuase she was born near Christmas (this baby's EDD is Holly's birthday)

Neva or Neivah - which means Snow in Spanish

Or

Noa - kinda Christmassy and means Comfort

but we're really struggling for middle names, some ideas are:

Neivah Jae Varela
Noa Lani Varela
Neva Mae Varela

As you can see we prefer more unusual names but don't want anything too wacky!

Has anyone got any other suggestions?
Which variations of names and spellings do you like?

Thanks Xxx

Well i think its great and if i were you i wouldnt worry about getting a 'funky one'. Your not going to bump into anyone with the same pram and i think thats great. Id recommend a real lightweight pushchair once the summers here and they arent too expensive new or second hand. Im so limited with needing a double one. Part of me thinks i should just make Riley walk so i can use his (which is immaculate) but i feel that he is too young to be expected to walk everywhere specially when its freezing and theres snow on the ground or when its pouring with rain.

 

[Cherrybinky]

Oooh Han I love Roscoe.

I dont like Noa for a girl. It reminds me of Noah too much.

I like Neivah Jae Varela, thats lovely.

Im not keen on Mae for a middle name.

My ex work colleague called her little girl Nialla (Nye-a-lah) which is pretty too.

 

[Cherrybinky]

Isobel went without a pushchair from being 3 lol. We made her walk everywhere when I met Pete!

Ive told him Id like a pushchair for this baby for the summer though as its easier and better for the baby/toddler for future trips etc. Isobel got tired easily and used to moan about walking.

[Tizy]

Yeh I'm not sure on mae either but I thought something like that would suit. Get what your saying about Noa too, might be a bit mean!

Mark and I fell in love with Roscoe, as its one of our fave tracks by Midlake, beautiful song and we always said if we ever have a boy we would call him 'something more productive like Roscoe' (lyrics from the song).

Thanks Xxx

 

[pink sparkle]

I prefer the spelling Neivah as Neva is a bit like Never said 'commonly' if that makes sense.

I love Neivah Lani or Neivah Mae and think that all put together with the surname they sound beautiful and so unique x

 

[pink sparkle]

What about Neivah Hannah Varela after mummy? I think that sounds nice x

 

[sequeena]

I'm joining a little late but pre pregnancy I was a UK 18. I'm still an 18 on the bottom but because of my bump I've gone up to a 20 on top.

I didn't think I would get much of a bump but at 32 weeks I am very proud of my bump!!

How is everyone here? I hope you're all having a relaxing stress free pregnancy! No such luck here I'm afraid but we will survive

 

[Cherrybinky]

I agree with Pink, sounds lovely with Hannah in the middle.

Ive chosen Zachary Quinn Best but then Pete wants to shove his name in there and Im not keen. Not because of the name Pete but I dont want 2 middle names and I HAVE to have Quinn LOL

 

[Cherrybinky]

Hi Sequeena *waves*

Thats a cracking lovely bump I hope mines as good at 32 weeks. Have you had a rollercoaster time? Luckily Ive been ok so far but am dreading getting bigger in the middle of summer too

Oh I am so glad I'll *hopefully* be giving birth in early August because the heat is already getting to me. I'm not looking ward to being full term in July

Pregnancy has been a bit of a rollercoaster but things in my life are taking a nosedive too. When it rains it pours!

 

[pink sparkle]

Hey Sequeena - thats a lovely bump you have there hun! Hope the rest of your pregnancy goes smoother. Would you mind me asking what probs you have had? im nearly 20 weeks and not much of a bump yet somedays i look pregnant some days i just look fat. All going ok to date (touch wood) x

Rachel Zachary Quinn is fab will you shorten it to Zac/Zach? I dont think Pete flows with your choice of names...cant you argue with Pete that he has his surname! x

I didn't get my bump until 21 weeks, up until that point I was just really bloated You might wake up tomorrow and your bump will be there!

I've had quite a few pregnancy related problems. I was admitted to hospital at 12-13 weeks after an allergic reaction to a medication I was prescribed then at 14 weeks I had a massive bleed and broke my waters prematurely (this wasn't picked up properly until 17 and 18 weeks). At its lowest my amniotic fluid was only 3cm when it should be 10cm and above. Luckily at 24 weeks my waters rehealed (scan showed waters to be 13cm at that time) I have scans monthly now to keep an eye on the fluid. At 28 weeks the fluid was down 2cm to 11cm and I have another scan on Monday. I'm hoping it will have increased but if not I'll try not to worry as you lose water as your body prepares for labour. Oligohydraminos is just the posh term for low amniotic fluid

 

[pink sparkle]

oh wow you have had a rough time you must be so relieved to have made it this far! Hope your next scan goes well and that theres still plenty of fluid. Is baby doing well despite the problems? Hope so x
