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

I found the answer to my mattress/crib size question: seemingly in the US new mattresses (and I would then assume cribs) are indeed legally required to be a standard size: https://m.toysrus.com/shop/index.jsp?categoryId=2964392
 
DH and I decided on our son's full name tonight :) so excited! Brecken Lynn (Lynn is my DH's middle names as well has his Mom and Dad's middle name) we are excited to carry on the tradition.

Lovely! How exciting to have his whole name!!

We will do a family middle name, too :)
 
Bought babies first outfit today. Couldnt resist :-)

I went in Sainsbury's today because they have the 25% off thing running, they have some seriously cute baby/kids stuff in! :thumbup:
 
We are also doing family names as middle names for the twins. Two of my Grandparents passed away earlier this year right before I found out I was pregnant, so I want the twins to have their names as middle names. Now picking out the first names is getting hard! Too many good choices! :)
 
Hooray for having the name settled, jm!! And yes, we'll probably do family middle names here too.

bubbamadness, that is super cute!

I told my husband this morning, I am really enjoying this stage of pregnancy. Hooray! I have a big enough belly (thanks twins!) that everyone knows I'm pregnant, I don't feel uncomfortable yet, I have energy back again and can eat foods I like again. I'm going to enjoy it while it lasts :P
 
Hi everyone! I decided to cancel my doula. It was a really tough decision since I like her and she comes with a birth pool, but my daughter is soooo shy and standoffish that I just don't think it will work out. My midwife recommend that we get someone who she knows and trusts to be dedicated to her, and thankfully a good friend who recently had a home water birth offered to be at my birth! Yay! :haha:

I also asked another friend who lives nearby (who doesn't have kids) if she would be my backup, and thankfully she agreed. She's doing a PhD and will only be working on her dissertation come February, so it's good timing. She also offered to make me a bunch of frozen meals. I'm so happy that I have my own little birth team!

I'm also thinking of buying this birth tub: https://passagesmidwifery.com/pools/ It's $80 locally, but I'm thinking it will be better than the kiddie pool I used last time. I liked the kiddie pool and all (and I call it my daughter's spawning pool, hehe), but I think trying a legitimate birth tub might be nice.
 
JM - Love the name! So exciting to have a full name picked! My OH doesn't want to discuss names until we find out the gender (Friday!) it's a right pain in the butt! I love the idea of a family name in the middle, I'm really hoping we can put one in.

Bubba - Super cute! Wonder if I can drop a hint to my mother back in the UK to get that for me :D

Melly - How nice it is to be able to enjoy this time eh? I've really been feeling it today, too.

Laura - Congratulations!! Can't be many of us left to join a team now!!

So for a very brief moment last night I got my OH to talk about baby names! I love the name Carter but every time I mention it he starts talking like Carson from Downton Abbey because he thinks it's a butlers name! :haha: When I mentioned the name Rhys though he really seemed to like it, got me quite excited and I haven't been able to stop thinking about it since.

Being Welsh living in Canada, there's not many Welsh names we can go for that would be pronounced and understood properly here, but Rhys seems to be quite normal, plus it was my great-grandfathers name. I always wanted my grand fathers name William but there's someone in the family with that name already, so Rhys would be a good trade-off.
 
Had my 20 week scan today - we're having another GIRL! We're over the moon and so is my daughter, she was hoping for a sister!
 
Congratulations Mrs Poodle! I think that means we are now even in team blue vs team pink!!
 
Very cool that all of you finding out! We don't have our scan til Oct 6, and the OB told us that the techs don't say anything about gender, and we'll have to call the OB a couple days later to find out...I am hoping there will be some hints at the scan!

Captain - We are still trying to find a Ukrainian boy name we both love and is understandable in both languages...I thought the girls name would be hard, but we found one super fast we both love...
 
River54, when I did my anatomy scan with my daughter (I'm also in Canada), it was the same thing, and it's mandated by law (for a really stupid reason). What I did was look up a ton of ultrasound potty shots that show the differences in sex, and the ultrasound tech even told us "here is where you can tell" but legally couldn't tell us. I could tell my daughter was a girl after all the research I did, and my midwives confirmed it in a few days.
 
Scan today and we are team BLUE! :blue: my son Lucas was over the moon with he news and wants to call him Thomas and for him to sleep in his room. All healthy and still a due date of Feb 13th which happens to be a Friday! Anterior placenta which ka why only feeling small movements. Not letting me out a pic on here but posted one on the Facebook group. X Congrats Laura on your girl, also Dcm and Mrs Poodle x
 
Yay for all the gender reveals!!!! Two girls and a boy, we're so blessed in this thread. :D

Okay, I will do some potty-shot research before my scan on Monday so I can look for myself if they can't 'tell' me.
