FEBRUARY HEARTS Due in February 2015 , open group all welcome!

[SurpriseBub]

I had put on about 15 pounds by my last appointment 2 weeks ago. My doctor suggested 30ish by delivery would be her ideal. I won't eat like crazy, but also won't diet etc- will see how I end up with that approach.

I don't want to stack it on, but am much more just wanting to feel as good and energetic as I can, so trying to eat healthy and let my appetite dictate a lot of how much I gain. Time will tell...

Carters is great- I think it is all super cute and good quality. I also haven't paid full price for anything- they seem to do a lot of sales.

My sister mailed me a gift of Carter's sleepers and bibs. I'm so excited for baby boy things! Aren't these adorable! She's the best!

 

[jmandrews]

Sorry it's upside down. Not sure why.

 

[bridgetboo62]

i really like the paw print onesie
i was looking at that one at babies r us yesterday
we will probably get it for our baby girl
im not into super pink girly frilly things
and know i will get a ton of gender specific items and clothing as gifts
so i want to buy some blue/boyish things and gender neutral things
both of those onesies in that pic are great
i really like the grey/beige/brown color on the striped one

 

[SurpriseBub]

Love the little brother bib!!

I love Carter's clothes. I got loads for dd last autumn/Winter and they do flat rate shipping to the UK which is great I love all the bright colours they have. May have a look for the little man as everything here seems to be bland baby blue, just can't get excited about the baby clothes like I was with dd.

I have my anomaly scan this morning at 1115 I have to have my gtt first though which is not so good. I had something to eat at 8pm last night but not allowed to eat or drink anything but plain water until after the test. I'm hungry and I just want a cup of tea

 

[bridgetboo62]

i got two 32 packs of papers swaddlers newborn diapers today at goodwill for $2.99 each
score!!

I'm not into lots of pink, I've picked up a few colourful non pink things in sales, actually I think I have enough for up to when she grows out of 0-3 including ds gender neutral stuff. Some of it is summer clothing to wear with a long sleeve vests, tights and a cardi as I always found layers worked best.

Yea DD has a good mix of girl clothing. Not really into frills but I don't mind pink. She has pretty much every color possible in her wardrobe. Target has a lot of cute leggings in different colors and some have patterns. I always get the jean leggings for her because she is so skinny nothing fits.
I love baby and kid clothes!
I bought the baby some really cute polo shirts, button up dress shirts, sleepers, other adorable shirts, and a towel at the outlet mall last weekend. He is so spoiled already!

 

[MissEyre]

I'm so jealous of everyone knowing the sex of their baby! With our move, I've just barely been able to find a new doctor. I'll be nearly 20 weeks at my first appointment. I expect (hope!) I'll get a scan shortly thereafter. I'll just have to live vicariously through you all until then.

I was at this 'mothers of multiples' local group meeting last night and it was their bi-annual clothing exchange. It was great, but because we don't know the genders yet, I was pretty limited, I ended up assembling a bag of mostly green/yellow/cream/brown clothes. There are a couple of blue things in there too that were particularly un-truck or un-dirt related, but all the pink stuff was pink AND ruffly so I didn't take any.

Also, the preemie stuff is TINY. I got a oneside and two little tops. The tops are no bigger than my hand. I hope I can keep these two baking for long enough to not need them!

 

[MissEyre]

Have any of you UK ladies heard/seen/tried the Doona carseat/stroller system? I saw a video of how this works online. It looks kind of awesome! No idea of safety ratings and all that but the concept is brilliant! Looks like it's coming to the US in December.

We've only purchased 3 newborn thing (attached). Otherwise, this baby will wear my daughter's clothes. I kept all of the cutest things she wore, all pretty much neutral -- animal prints, greens, browns, blues, purples. We bought these from a kids' rerun store in the States after I found out I was pregnant, and DD picked out the lion shirt as baby's first outfit! I couldn't resist the pirate outfit or tiger sweater, either!

 

[savvysaver]

I love all the outfits everyone has picked out so far, I can't wait to go shopping for baby clothes! After our gender scan on Tuesday we are going shopping to pick out two outfits.

I ordered my double stroller and car seats this week, the car seats came yesterday and the stroller is suppose to arrive tomorrow. Buying baby things makes this pregnancy feel very real. Super excited for February!

 

[MellyH]

Ooooh what stroller did you end up getting savvy?

 

[imphope]

Bridget, I thought I would post a potty shot of our little guy so you can compare. I think it is pretty clear here what you're seeing. It's taken directly from below his bum. This is the moment we knew it was a boy!

 

[imphope]

Is anyone else overwhelmed at the baby registry process? I have started yet and I am already stressing. We waited until we knew the gender and now it's go time! Ahhh! My shower is nov 9 so I gotta get on it!

 

[ttc126]

My scan went well yesterday My mom found out gender and hubby and i will find out with rest of family at a little party tomorrow! I'm still so sure it's a boy! I didn't see any clues though so i am either right and EVERYONE else is wrong or I'm totally wrong I'll let you all know tomorrow

I was very happy the tech at my ob office did not use high power, did not take long and was very gentle. Placenta looks good, cord looks good, and i don't need anymore scans in the near future.

Two more monthly appt then every 2 weeks
