EDD Sept 20th bump buddies wanted!

[Baby Birds 12]

Baby Birds 12 I hear you on the family thing!! I am going to get it from mine too! My mother thinks that we have enough children! I believe that she even said to me "don't you even think about it, you can not afford another child!" I was like who's business it that of yours? I have three with my passed husband, one with my DH now. I wanted to be able to give him another, I wanted to give him a princess!

That is exactly what I'm talking about! Takes some of the excitement away when you hear negative comments like that! If I could, I wouldn't tell any of my family until after baby comes lol but I'm sure they will start noticing once I start showing. I think it's great you and your DH are expecting again...sending lots of your way!!

1. What day did you get your BFP? How many DPO were you?
I found out on Thursday Jan. 10. (4 days ago) I was 9DPO when I got my FRER positive!

2. Are you hoping for a or a ? Or maybe you're really ambitious and you hope it's, , , ??
I know DH is hoping for a boy, but we will be happy with either one. As long as he/she is healthy that's what really matters. I'm not sure about the twins thing... If it were to happen I would still be happy but I think I might be a little fearful to be honest.

3. Will you be learning baby's sex early, or staying team ?
We will be finding out. I found out with DD for financial reasons and I found that I loved calling her by her name before she was born. Besides that, I'm impatient so I would just want to know.

4. How old are you? What # is this for you?
I am 26. This is my #2 (DH's first biological, but really his #2 as well). This is my third pregnancy. My first in Nov of 07 ended with a blighted ovum at 6 weeks.

5. Have you had any pregnancy symptoms so far?
Mild cramping, bodily exhaustion, always either hungry or nauseous. I noticed today that I'm a bit bloated in my belly area now too.... Yaaaaay.... Lol

6. Have you announced your pregnancy to friends and family yet? If not, when do you plan on telling?
No one but my DH and me. My sister is going to be angry with me, but I want to at least have a doctor's appointment before telling anyone. I'll probably tell family sometime in the 8-10 week range. I'll probably wait until I successfully make it to the second trimester before announcing it to everyone else.

7. Do you have baby names picked out yet, and if so, do you want to share?
Ellyson Lana or Robert John

8. How do you feel about this pregnancy?
I feel great! I'm so excited about it, but I'd like to fast forward through this first trimester. Always seems so nerve wracking during this time. Plus, DH knows I'm pregnant but it's not "real" for him yet, if you know what I mean. I think it'll hit him when he hears the heartbeat or sees the scan. Meanwhile, I'm sitting on cloud nine absolutely elated.... Despite the fact that I know what is coming...morning sickness, aching body, etc.... I say, bring it on! It's worth it!

 

[Proserpina]

Thanks everyone for their answers so far. It's fun to get to know more about you!

Hey, agreeksmom, what does your handle mean? Is DH/OH Greek? Are you?

 

[Maybebub]

:wave:
hey just wondering if anyone wants to wait this next 9 months out with me. This is not my first, I have tons of experience having four now, but I would like to have someone to go through this with. Want to join me?

We are planning on not telling anyone until the gender reveal. I have a very strong feeling this will be my girl. So with us having four boys now I think it would be a great way to tell everyone!!

Hi allforthegirl We were in the same thread in the 2 weeks wait forum , i went to my gp today and she told me that my due date is also 20 Sept yeii! Well I actually will wait for Ob's confirmation because my last period was weird, spotted from the 14-16 of Jan and then the normal flow started the 17 but she counted from the 14 until the scan.

My scan is the 4 of February, can't wait.
And I had some blood test and will have the results tomorrow.
How are you feeling?

Oh I really pray fro you to be a girl!
I sense this is a boy, i actually dreamt that i was prgnant with a boy 2 days before testing,

 

[Maybebub]

Excellent idea .

1. What day did you get your BFP? How many DPO were you?
I tested the 12/01/13, I am not sure but I think I was 12 dpo.

2. Are you hoping for boy or girl? Or maybe you're really ambitious and you hope it's, , , ??
DH wants boy and I think I more inclined to girl but would love boy as well.

3. Will you be learning baby's sex early, or staying team ?
Definitely as early as we can, we are so impatient,


4. How old are you? What # is this for you?
I am 30, and this is my #1.

5. Have you had any pregnancy symptoms so far?
Only on and off mild cramps and pinching. And very distracted as well! Today I was going to work and went in the opposite side and realise like 4 blocks away from my home that i was going somewhere else.

6. Have you announced your pregnancy to friends and family yet? If not, when do you plan on telling?
3 close friends that lives in different countries and ou immediate family (parents and brothers/sisters).

7. Do you have baby names picked out yet, and if so, do you want to share?
Not sure jet.

8. How do you feel about this pregnancy?
Uff so excited happy emotional i can' t believe it! Amazing feeling.

 

[agreeksmom]

My hubby is half Greek half french

 

[allforthegirl]

Maybebub yes I remember you :wave: Welcome!! I will be going to the Dr office tomorrow to get the blood test, and whatever else. I am not sure if this doc will take me. As my Dr left and now I don't have a reg one. Plus since I am hoping to use a midwife he may just leave me to them. But I haven't been able to get a hold of them. I guess I will have to call them again and leave a different message other than please call me back LOL

 

[cflower04]

1. What day did you get your BFP? How many DPO were you?
I tested on Friday and got by BFP at 11 dpo.

2. Are you hoping for boy or girl? Or maybe you're really ambitious and you hope it's twins ??
My father is a twin so I'd really love to have twins but realistically that probably won't happen. I don't mind if its a boy or a girl. SO would probably like a boy.

3. Will you be learning baby's sex early, or staying team yellow?
I'm not sure yet! Think I'll want to know nearer the time but there are very few surprises left in life so we might wait!!

4. How old are you? What # is this for you?
I am 27, and this is my #1.

5. Have you had any pregnancy symptoms so far?
Only on and off mild cramps and sore boobs! Feeling very tired though.

6. Have you announced your pregnancy to friends and family yet? If not, when do you plan on telling?
Have told one close friend but that is it for the moment. Going to tell my mother soon though.

7. Do you have baby names picked out yet, and if so, do you want to share?
Not yet!

8. How do you feel about this pregnancy?
Happy!!! Really emotional at the moment.

I also have a fun gender test for you all to try:

Put a teaspoon or two of baking soda in a glass and pee on it (yes, I said pee on it. I guess peeing on things isn't over yet) and if it fizzes up like a beer then its supposed to be a and if it doesn't then its supposed to be a

Let me know what ya'll get

in my cupboard I have bicarbonate of soda and baking powder...I'm no baker...which one do I use?!
