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

[RaspberryK]

I don't know if it is as we told the sonographer that we had a private gender scan already and she said she hadn't looked in that area but hadn't seen any obvious boy parts.

[Mommy2missR]

it looks like a potty shot, but I can't tell either way. My Alex was pretty dang obvious...

 

[SurpriseBub]

Lovely scan pics! Hope the other scans and appts are going well today!!

...my appt on Friday cannot come soon enough!

 

[RaspberryK]

I thought I saw the 3 lines when she was looking at a leg and we had a pretty conclusive gender scan at 16 weeks I will just get them to double check at our 3d one at 26 weeks.

[MiniBump]

Looks like they found Nessie on the second one, lol!! What is that? Head shot is cute, looks proper girly to me x

 

[bubbamadness]

Glad your scan went well Raspberry xx

Thank you, have you ever been team yellow before? We were last time and I loved it, I'm equally excited this time being team pink.

Xx

No, i'm so impatient that i always asked. This is the only one that has insisted on being a surprise, lol. I am glad now though. Its out of my hands and i think it will be even more exciting now xxx

 

[bubbamadness]

Raspberry, your pic is super cute. Lovely face

 

[RaspberryK]

Minibump I know, resembles nothing baby like in my mind!

Bubbamadness I think it's exciting and always good to try it out if you always knew before... especially if you think this might be your last baby?
This one will most probably be our last, regardless of the gender as I've decided I hate pregnancy and it just doesn't suit me at all.
I love baby stage up to 1 and dislike age 3 so far so unless I can skip pregnancy then keep em for a year before farming them out elsewhere I think I'm not cut out for this parenting malarkey.

[Feronia]

Raspberry!
I am certainly not liking pregnancy, especially the second time around... even though I told myself I would enjoy it since it's my last! You are not making me look forward to age 3 either!

 

[MellyH]

I chatted to my OB about delivery options. She said having the epidural catheter in place without any drugs is an option. Huzzah!

 

[RaspberryK]

Feronia, 3 does have it's good points, he has a great sense of humour but I think it was a bit of a shock because everyone warns about terrible twos which we saw nothing of but about a month before he turned 3 we got the threenagers which is showing no sign of stopping.
The whinging constantly is driving me insane.
On a positive note he can now attend preschool two mornings a week which will go up to 15 hours in Jan xx

 

[British Mummy]

Surprise bub my 20w scan is Friday too! I will ask about gender but if they can't see the bits then babybond do a justgender scan which is supposed to be a fast 10-15 minute scan just looking for that for £39 so we will pay its in milton keynes which is easy for me to get to. I was feeling a bit nervy last week since I feel my bump is so small this time around, my husband keeps saying "are you sure there's a baby in there?" But now I feel baby moving at least once a day so he/she is just hiding!
Good luck for lovely scans for everyone x x

Edit.. must update my signature... I've obviously had my first scan and I'm still due feb 10th so ignore please

Yes, this is last baby for me. But then that's what I said after my 3rd! But yes, plan on asking to be sterilised at same time as the C-section this time. With my other pregnancies I loved it, even through the sickness. I was so relaxed and carefree throughout. With this one, I've been a nervous wreak. constantly worrying and scared that some things going to go wrong. Thank goodness all is ok so far, and I hope that this final C-section will be ok too.

I had the same behaviour with my youngest. She was really good up until 2&1/2 years and then boom! She was a nightmare for a year. Pre-school did help with her, so hopefully will be the same with your little one. He will grow out of it. Mines nearly 5 now and she's a good girl again now, lol

I'm planning on getting dh the snip
I'm hopeful that it's just a small blip, I suppose I can't have it easy all the time!

Ladies! I finally have a 20 week scan date for Oct. 3! We are so ready and so excited to find out if we are team blue or team pink!

Found a decent used crib and mattress for $100. It was our first major baby purchase! Makes everything feel so real...

Good luck for Friday! I wish it was today!!!

 

[Captain]

Woohoo, that's three of us now having our scans on Friday! Hope I haven't missed anyone out!

OH and I have had a rough couple of days trying to decide on our future. Every thing's great between the two of us it was just the fact he works away, and doesn't want to be away whilst I'm heavily pregnant and then leaving once the baby is here. So we spent some time discussing and looking into moving cities to where he could be home every night. We really don't want to leave here though as we just love living on the island and have lots of family/friends here! It got a little stressful, not knowing for a while where I would be having our baby, a lot of unknowns. I think last night we figured out a way to stay where we are without him being away once the baby is here, which we are both so happy about. Now to just look forward to our scan on Friday then we can start shoppingggg!!!

 

[RaspberryK]

Lots of scans coming up which are not too far away
Xx

 

[SurpriseBub]

Yay for the crib, miss eyre! I was reading up on crib safety, and the suggestion is that you don't use a used mattress. (I guess how you think about that depends on where the mattress came from, and how used you really think it is!) just thought I would mention it, as I had seen that

For ladies in the US- I was looking at cribs, and can't really find any dimensions for cribs and/or mattresses. Does that mean there is just one standard size? Will any mattress fit any crib correctly?

Sounds like you found a good compromise, captain. My husband travels sporadically (looks like he will be gone for a lot of October sadly), so I know it sucks to be left home alone! Great you could find a solution that works

Can't wait for our scan Friday! I think I am equal parts nervous and excited- just so desperate to see and hear that all is well.

I'm not 100% sure, but I *think* I felt baby move just before. It was a funny feeling low in my belly that didn't feel like it came from me!

I also have my 20 week scan on the 3rd but we already know we are team blue now just the worry of everything being on
