We will definitely find out what the baby is. DH has already decided on the girl name, well first name anyway. He wants to call her Chloe. Which I think is very cute. We are really hoping for a girl, but will be overjoyed with either. No boy names picked out yet. I am just so scared to even think about any of this yet. It's almost like I dont want to think of the pregnancy as real until we get to that safe zone. But, you just can't help it. There is a baby growing inside me and I will cherish it for as long as I have it.

I agree, me and DH were talking about a new car - need 6 seats now, a loft conversion and everything last night!

We know we shouldnt get carried away, but what the heck, enjoy every minute while the going is good.

We have a 6 sestet car! A fiat multipla. But now we will need a 7 seater and I have a step son too so this is in theory number 5!!

Just got back from doctors. I have my blue notes!!!!! Woo hoo and a kidney infection too boooooooo
Never mind.
Can't wait for the dating scan

Wow! Notes already!!! I get mine (red notes here) at the midwife appointment.

Your all tempting me to make a GP appointment now!!!

Are you gonna get an early scan?

Hope the kidney infection buggers off soon. xx

Debbie - thanks for the info, it all feels a bit overwhelming at the minute so it's nice to know what to expect. I'm going to do a pregnancy journal for my baby too, I've seen a lovely one in mothercare that I want but I feel like I'm tempting fate buying it so soon. I have a pregnancy app on my phone which allows you to put in diary entries so I'm using that for now.

Suze - thanks, it feels more real now that I have a midwife appointment. She called me back this afternoon and I'm seeing her on Tuesday at 3:30pm!

Megan - what are blue notes? Bad news about your kidney infection, hope it's not too painful!

Nicola - you need some tickers!!!

Ah right, I don't have any yet so I've no idea what colour they are here. Guess I'll soon find out though

Yeah I keep meaning to do it but I never really get on the computer, I just keep logging on on my phone. I will get round to it though, I want to see the days counting down to my baby coming

I think my notes last time were white! I've texted the midwife I had last time (she said to text when I was pregnant again so she could look after me) so hoping she texts back soon with a booking in date for me

Did people know they were pregnant before taking a preggo test?? I poas last friday morning (bfp) but I knew I was pregnant beforehand as I couldn't get rid of the metal taste in my mouth in the early hours of Friday morning and I was waking to pee. I didn't have metal mouth last time but I knew it was a sign of pregnancy... so knew when I did poas it would be positive

Liz-I hope you hear from midwife soon.

I knew I was preg because I was gagging brushing my teeth and only had that when I was pregnant last time. Had been using fertility friend just to track my dates, but my cycles had been all over the place ranging from 36 days down to 28. It was day 28 I was gagging but ff said it would be the following week I would test. Just did it anyway and was completely shocked to see pregnant come up

 

[BrandysBabies]

I knew I was too, which is why I started testing at 5dpo! Lol! I have been throwing up for days, I knew we timed everything perfectly, I just knew. I dont know how to explain it, I just knew.

What do you all think of the names Chloe or Jules(Julian)? Those are our front runners at the moment, but that will probably change about 4 million times before bubs makes an appearance!

 

[minidancer]

I love the name Chloe, I wanted to call my little girl that but my hubby wasn't keen. Like Jules too. I find it so hard to think of names. This one will probably be a last minute decision like last time!

 

[BrandysBabies]

Thanks! DH actually thought of Chloe. He is like, "Chloe "IS" what we are naming her." Lol, he is sure we are having a girl.

 

[moggi]

How old are your little girls, do you think they will be a good help when baby arrives? I would like a boy too since I alteady have a girl but another wee girl would be brilliant too as long as baby is happy ans healthy that's all that mattters! xx

My little girls aren't so little now. Eldest will be 18 this saturday and youngest will be 15 in october. So I feel like i'm starting all over again!

On the subject of midwives:
I've got my midwifes number and been told to ring her next monday to arrange an appointment. Think it'll make it all seem real once i've seen her

I thought i might be pregnant because i felt so damn rough lol. Waited till i was a day late to test it was a bfn, same the following day too. Was in tears to Mark because i knew something wasnt right. Even felt stupid for thinking i might have been at one point. Hormones were like pmt but on overdrive lol. Mark was really understanding and even said he'd thought i was pregnant too. Lightened the mood by joking about how much fun we could have trying next month lol. By the time i was 5 days late (I'm never late) I was getting so confused. I'd felt faint numerous times, felt nauseous, had horrible taste in mouth, couldn't face alcohol (not at all like me pmsl), cramps from ovulation onwards, much earlier in the month than i ever had before, vivid dreams too. I took a third test to completely rule it out before i went to doctors to find out what was wrong with me. Totally shocked when it was a Had spent ages planning how to tell Mark and when it came down to it i was completely speechless lol. Just showed him the test. So to answer the question of did i know? Yes I thought i knew but the negative tests threw me completely. Plus at my age and with only one ovary and tube I didnt in a million years think it'd happen first month of trying!!!! I feel extremely blessed However I now know I should have trusted my instincts!

Apologies for any typo's but im on my phone and its all too small and fiddly for me lol x

Awww Chloe is a lovely name. I'vr been instructed if its a boy he'll be called Luke which wasn't a name i'd have thought of. I was warming to it when he added, yes Luke after Luke skywalker. Why don't some men ever grow up?! Lol

 

[BrandysBabies]

Hahahaha! That is PERECT!!! Hahaha! I think we are going to call your bubs, Yoda! Tehe! Not, bean, bubs, but Yoda! Lol! I love it!

you can have a julian, and i will have a juliette! i love julian, but i like Juliette so much that i want to save that name for if we have a girl later on.

Also, I thought there was no way I was pregnant. after having my daughter Virginia, I had one cycle and then got pregnant. We found out when I was 5 weeks along and then lost the baby (ectopic) the next week. I also lost a tube. After that, I went 2 1/2 months with no period, and was kinda worried. I had one August 5th, so we started trying. I took a test on Sept 3rd, and it was very very negative, so I thought we were out, and wasnt surprised. A few days later, just for the heck of it, I took a FRER and got the faintest of faint lines. I took a digi the next day and we were shocked!! I mustve conceived on CD 23; I used to have 28 day cycles, so that threw me off.

 

[JessicaMarie]

what do you ladies think of Theodore? Or just Theo? middle name lochlin, last name titcomb...

 

[moggi]

Lol, Never! Although he has some pretty cute ears!

Yeah this is true lol
