from bonfire babies ttc to july bumps due!!

[mrsbeanbump]

wow the thread is busy today! I got today off work as holiday so I could have a lazy 4 day week!

Wanna- those choices look great, just googled them! my mind is so boggled at the minute I dont know if I'll ever be able to decide! We're going to kiddiecare on saturday though to have a browse... and yup got gender scan tomorrow! There was a special at the private studio in town, £40 this month for a gender scan so I just made the window to get the special deal! we're so excited to find out! Good luck with trying to track down the physio and getting yourself some pain relief!

nb, sorry about your friend, it always brings you back to reality a bit. how awful to get so far along... sorry to hear your not sleeping well either, I'm still getting up in the night for the loo but gradually its getting better and now I can make it until about 5am before waking. I did get the dreamgenii pillow which I just love, they had it at tkmaxx, and tkmaxx online for I think £30 and I'm very happy with it, perhaps this would help give you some support?

justmarried - sorry your not feeling well at the minute! I hope you get some fluid stability soon! stay positive, at least you'll be on first name basis with all the hospital staff...

MM- your pics are well clear! did you scan them onto your computer? we could only manage to take a picture of ours.

I've just had an old friend pop over with her 2 month old son, she brought me loads of preggo books and is going to bring round their moses basket at the weekend! yay to my first hand me downs! If only I could find some more for the cot, wardrobe, dressing table, car seat, pram, etc....

Well I think I'm going to go make some cookies now! yum yum xx

Hi Beadette! hope your well! feeling okay? I see your TTC, are you actively trying again now or have you been advised to wait at all? I wish you loads and loads of sticky fairy dust and let me know how your getting on... my bumps not growing that nicely as I've just been told I look the same from my old friend, which obviously means I'm just a bit chunkier now... xxxxx

 

[nb1984]

Beadette - fab to hear from you! How are you getting on? I hope you are able to get back on that baby dancing wagon nice and quickly? You must keep us posted on your countdown to the 2ww!!

mrsbeanbump I just got the pillow, praying it helps! I am useless at sleeping on my left but thought I had better train myself! xxx

Hey ladies!
I'm off back to docs at 5.50 and have to once again take an overnight bag incase I get to hospital....hubby is really worried. I just feel like I am taking up so much of his time atm,....either being sick or crying or having to go to docs. He is like my babysitter as I cant drive or anything at the moment due to being so exhausted. I am a mess ladies....honestly dont know what I can do. I feel like a differnt person.

Oh hun I totally feel for you, I keep saying to hubby I am sorry for being miserable in the evening but with not sleeping very well after a day at work I am shattered, so I cant even begin to imagine what an emotional wreck you must feel, just remember that you are making a little one for both of you to enjoy and he loves you so he wont care, he just wants you to be ok! It is a lot for your body to get used too, lets hope its true when they say this week is when it all gets better! I am still waiting on my super glossy hair...

I really hope it isnt a hospital trip for you, will keep everything crossed xxxx

 

[justmarried24]

Thanks hun. I am hoping I feel bette soon and that ive just had a bad few weeks. Ive tried to keep busy today, doing year 8 reports online and it has been a distraction, but also made me just want to be back to work and normal....that upsets me as much as being ill!
I promise to let you guys know what doc says xxxxx

 

[wannabubba#4]

Justmarried -hope everything went okay yesterday at the docs xx

Mrsbeanbump - Are you just going window shopping? or are you going to buy? so exciting -we are waiting until my anomaly scan (also hopefully find out gender then too) at 20weeks and then i'll start some serious shopping lol. If they have a Jane slalom pro pushchair in kiddicare -let me know what you think of it (in the flesh, so to speak lol).

Wow what a great price for your gender scan -only £40 -If our anomaly scan doesn't confirm our LO's sex then we are going to have a gender scan (but DH will freak out when he realises it will be nearly £200; think he probably imagines it will be nearer £40 lol) I think he may be changing his mind about finding out a bit too -he mentioned the other day about maybe us not finding out - I said NO I want to know!!! lol I want to buy blue or pink!!!

Wel the phsio service eventuallly phoned me back today but only took more details and told me that they'd pass them ontothe appropriate physiotherapist and they'll contact me for an appointment. So I continue to waddle about lol.

xxx p.s reached 16 weeks today yay!!! xxx

 

[mrsbeanbump]

off to the scan... yippeee

wanna - we'll just be window shopping this weekend, its only an hour away and we figured we would do this as opposed to trekking to the baby show (paying hotel/travel/etc) Will look for the Jane slalom!

Its worth looking around privately for a cheaper gender scan, ours is in lincs and normal price is £80 or £50 on thursdays... but £40 in Jan!

will let you know when I get back team pink or blue! xx

 

[wannabubba#4]

off to the scan... yippeee


will let you know when I get back team pink or blue! xx

Yay!!!

So exciting - keep us posted xx

 

[haylie_bbz]

i think alot of people are twisting my leg to find out what im having but i duno whether can hold myself back from finding out the gender i just wanna hold my lil bundle of love already and be a proper lil family im just really impatient when it comes to waiting

 

[mrsbeanbump]

well... I'm on team BLUE!! The sonographer was well convinced and he gave us 4 photos of his willy to prove it! I know we got a good deal on the scan but it was worth every penny! they had like a 32' tele on the wall to watch comfortably and he played the heartbeat out loud for us as well... which is when I had the inclination it was a boy as it was 143 and I've heard that 140-150 range is more a boy whereas 170ish is more girl range... I would recommend this to anyone! I think I'm addicted to this scanning place and will be going back in due course for a nice 3d/4d scan! And our lo has HUGE legs too!!

xxxx

 

[nb1984]

Congrats mrsbeanbump! That place sounds amazing! Whats the company called? I might see if there is one around in Surrey.

I have two nephews and I would love a boy too, eek how exciting for you! xxx

 

[wannabubba#4]

Congrats Mrsbeanbump on joining team .



So happy for you, I can't wait to find out.

Either way is great -a wee girl would be nice after all this time but a wee boy would be fab too -i have one nephew age 5 months and 1 nephew aged 2 and 1 neice aged 1 so either way he/she will have good company lol

I have been pricing up gender scans and have found babybond which only charges £80 -must have been a 3d/4d scan that I was thinking about when I said £200 lol - thank goodness for that , cos if my anomaly scan doesn't confirm pink or blue then we are definately going for it.

Hey ladies!
Well I ended up on a drip at the maternity unit yesterday!! Feeling much better today and managed to keep some breakfast down. Midwifes at the mat unit are lovely and really made me feel at ease. Was nice chatting to other pregnant ladies. Also, the bit I was in is where they assess people who think they are in labour....so that was exciting!
So all in all, I was glad I took docs advice and went in. Fluids are such a godsend. I now have no ketones in urine, which is good! When I went in I had 3!!
Yay - Mrs Beanbump! Congrats on your boy!!! Woohoo!!
Speak soon ladies xxxxxx

 

[wannabubba#4]

Justmarried - glad that things are feeling a bit better today - hope you can continue to keep food and fluids down. xx

on a more positive note - you'll be building up a lovely relationship with the midwifes - i have met 3 different ones so far, and expect to meet a fourth different one today too lol.

xx

 

[nb1984]

justmarried - thats fab news! I am so glad you are starting to feel better and great your ketones are gone, brilliant!

I mentioned to hubby again about finding out the sec and he said no, he def doesnt want to know! There was a picture in my week by week book about a 3D scan and I said what did he think of them and he said he wouldnt want one in case we saw something we didnt want to see! So I need to find someone that has had one and knows if you find out or not!!

I took my nephews swimming yesterday and my pelvis pain is so much worse, I was so uncomfortable last night! So I must have overdone it, quite glad to be back at work and just sitting in a chair today!

Can't believe I am 16 weeks tomorrow, another milestone, yay! xx

 

[justmarried24]

Ah NB sorry to hear about your pelvis....poor thing!
I am 16 weeks today....feels great to see the numbers change! At the midwife on Thurs....and I went an ordered a doppler last night!! I swore I wouldnt but due to being anxious about being poorly etc, hubby and I decided to just get one. We've promised each other not to get stressed if we cant hear anything.....but doc found HB really easily the other day, so Im just gonna give it a try!
Just kept some frosties down so I am feeling very proud!! Silly how the small things can make you smile! Hehe!
When do you go to New York NB? I go 2 weeks on Monday....getting VERY excited! Just hoping sickness stays at bay while I am there!!
xxxxxxx

I am so tempted to get a doppler too! You'll have to let me know which one you get and if it is any good!

Great news on the frosties, I'll keep everything crossed it carries on this way! I go to NY 3 weeks tomorrow, so excited!!!

I cannot wait to buy some baby clothes, I havent bought anything yet so I am really excited!!

 

[justmarried24]

Well Ive ordered the Angel Sounds one, from Amazon....came to £29 in total including delivery and 2 bottles of gel....Ive just had an email to say theyve been dispatched so they may arrive as early as tomorrow....so I will definitely let you know what I think!
Just kept some pancakes down too....feels soooo good to be earing again!!!
Ooooh I know NY will be fab for clothes....Bloomingdales, Macy's, Fifth Ave!!! Woohoo! As Im going with my mam, hubby and I are going to buy a few little things next weekend, just so we've bought the FIRST things together....sounds silly doesnt it....but its such a lovely experience to share together! Then my mam and I will buy some more stuff in NY!!
xxxxxxxxx

 

[nb1984]

That's a really good idea, I might suggest that to hubby in case he feels left out!

I cannot wait for holiday, I can't believe I will be almost 20 weeks when I get home, half way there woo hoo!

I have started to make a wishlist on amazon so that we know how much money we need to spend, there is such amazing things on there, and so much I would never have thought of either!

Is anyone else suffering from insomnia a bit? xx
