I've been feeling baby now and its well exciting, moving around a lot today! Its the first day I've felt it more than once and more constant... hubby also said I'm looking 'bigger' today... which would normally get him in trouble!

 

[wannabubba#4]

Mrsbeanbump -enjoy your scan today, hope everything goes well xx

Girls -please dont hate me for saying this but I feel very down and emotional today and I cant stop crying -there's a lot going on at the moment though ; with having no working kitchen , the house being in total disrepair and my constant spd pain but I keep focusing on the fact that little one is another boy and I really wanted a girl. I know I should just be glad he is okay but I cant help how I feel , and DH he hasn't said anything but I am sure he is disappointed too and I feel I have let him down. Silly I know but it's how I feel today

Sorry for this self indulgent selfihs rant

Well ladies - I feel so much better today, spoke to DH and he was really annoyed that I thought he'd be 'let down' by another boy and you know what my two boys are fab, and just having another lil baby around is the best thing, irregardless of gender. And our one daughter is probably secretly glad that she'll always be our one and only princess lol.
I am going blue shopping tomorrow -if I can get out lol; constant snow here for two days lol, and visited my baby nephew today too- which was lovely. And my kitchen is almost omplete -poor DH has a long way to go though, with hall, stairs, livingroom, DD's room then the all important baby boys nursery lol. Poor DH I wish i could help more.

Hope everyone is having a good day, Mrsbeanbump - all go okay yesterday?? -let us see some pics, MM any scan pics of your girl yet? I cant locate my camera --> pc adaptor thingy at the mo' but will put them up as soon as I can xx Justmarried and Nb when are your 20w scans -must be coming up soonish? xx

yay for feeling bubs moving -it must be the best feeling in the world ... lol (i'll probably be taking that back in 2-3 months lol when my lil man is getting his lil feet up under my ribs lol

 

[justmarried24]

Hey ladies
Sorry for such a long delay in writing!! Been mad busy since NY!! HAd a fab time tho!
Had scan today...all ok apart from I have a low lying placenta so need to keep an eye. Also baby had a very full tummy and I have to go back for a scan at fetal medicine unit in 10 days. A bit worried although midwife said it is just to double check. They want to make sure that there are no blockages. Has anyone had this before??
Hugs and congrats about scans ladies!!
xxxx

 

[wannabubba#4]

justmarried -Hi and hope you are okay.

I'm sure they'll be keeping a close eye on your placenta to make sure you and bubs are both safe and on the positive side, you'll get to see him/her agian at 32 weeks. As far as I know, the placenta can still move up out the way of the cervix totally so hopefully this is going to be the case fx'd xx

As for the tummy thing I really dont know, try not to worry though -they are probably just being really thorough and if everything else looks good then thats brilliant!!

Glad you enjoyed NY -Once you feel up to it, you'll need to fill us in on how it all went xxx

 

[justmarried24]

Hey again ladies.
Feeling less worried about placenta and baby tummy thing today. Hubby and me chatted last night and it is something that we will deal with after the forthcoming scans.
Spoke to my own midwife today and she said not to worry and that they will be covering all bases at hospital. So in a way I am reassured that at least if there is a blockage in baby's tummy we will be mentally prepared for whatever needs to be done to fix it.
New York was amazing! Went to see Chicago! Went up Empire State, went to Ellis island (as a geography teacher, I was amazed! I teach so much about migration and it was so cool to be at such a place with immense history of movement!Sad I know!! Haha!) Bought a few baby things too which are lovely!
Well, we're babysitting nephew tonigh and off to collect him from nursery, so I have to dash, but I promise to be back tomorrow to catch up with everyones scan news etc and chat to people properyl! Love and hugs!!!! Happy FRiday!!!!

[wannabubba#4]

Hey ladies -
Yay!! It's the weekend lol - as a nurse this is rarely apt for me so its nice to say it just now lol.

Justmarried -NY sounded brilliant - I am so jealoue lol - did you buy any baby stuff over there? And are you still team yellow?

I went a bit mad today -out shopping for my lil man lol - I bought stuff in lots of sizes ,tiny baby (up to 8lbs), newborn ( 8-10lbs) and 0-3 months too, I even got a gorgeous wee hat and mittens set for 6-12 months lol (it was so cute and I reckoned we'll need it come the winter, and it was reduced to only £1.50 too- which helps lol)
Need to hide them from DH for the time being he doesn't mind me picking up the odd wee thing but today I bought about 10 outfits, shoes,socks, hats, blankets. I kept coming across so many bargains lol and couldn't resist. Then I came home and had an offer for a vertbaudet catalogue -spend £20, and get a £15 off and free bath toy offer -too good to be true, so I had to order out of their too lol. In total though I only spent about £70 and got about £150 worth of stuff lol -I love a bargain woohoo!!!

Lol -I also bought myself a couple of long tops, non maternity and had to buy a size 20 lol Oh my god -How the hell did that happen?? , baby is only about 23 cms long head to toe and weighs less than a pound and I am normally a size 8 lol. Haha DH will think this is hysterical when he comes home xx I dont care -I am loving my bump!!!

Hope everyone is well, have a great weekend - I am going hob shopping (boring) and am going to pop into our local Next clearance shop (see if there are any bargains in there to be had lol) Also, have heard (on BnB actually) that Adams (childrens clothing shop) has gone into liquidation and is having a closing down sale so I'll try and pop in there too lol

Have a good one, love to all mums and bumps xxxxxx

Hi All!

Had scan and it was all fine. I had to have two scans as baby was moving around so much they coulnd't get the right image so I had to wait to get scanned in another room so they could adjust the bed so I was upside down if they couldn't get the right image (which thankfully they didn't have to do!)

I got some picutres but they're all blurry and I'm not too happy with them. It was fantastic watching the screen and then we get blurry images on the photos... I'll put them on here at some point.

We're just cleaning out the house this weekend. Bought plane tickets to america for two weeks time, going to the northeast to visit family. Its quite a busy month for us, I've got a hen weekend the weekend before america too at centre parcs... which means I'll be making an appearance in a swimsuit... eek! But I tried on an old one which still fits and looks quite nice actually, hubby says looks better than the maternity one I bought! I'm sure we'll be buying loads in america so going to calm down on the buying... after the scan we went to tesco and got some more little things, a bottle steriliser, scratch mits (only 75p for two pair!), socks (3 and 5 pair packs for £3), and a couple other bits, but I dont like tesco very much as there was an offer on tommee tippee bottle set and it wasn't registering correctly at the til and when I complained I was told that the baby section has been so buys they were in the wrong place, but If I read the label I would know those bottles were not the bottles on sale and they didn't have any more of the sale ones... This lady was so rude I almost cancelled my whole purchase, honestly, the baby section wasn't a mess and the shelves were stacked incorrectly and the label said tommee tippee 2x 250ml bottles which this item was... o well... I won't be back to tesco anytime soon!

Just married- glad you had a good time in NY, did you get any of the snow storms they've had recently?
Nb must be in Mexico.... i'm soooo jealous!

Well I think I've procrastinated enough, back to cleaning! we've got a new kitchen being installed on monday!

talk soon! xxx

 

[mrsbeanbump]

yay donna!! Team blue and halfway! Our scan is tomorrow afternoon.

yay for feeling bubs moving -it must be the best feeling in the world ... lol (i'll probably be taking that back in 2-3 months lol when my lil man is getting his lil feet up under my ribs lol

He's been moving so much the past couple days!!! really funny feeling, but am not looking forward to more 'stronger' kicks.... we'll see when they start to hurt Donna!!

 

[wannabubba#4]

Well hello ladies -hope everyone had a lovely weekend.

I am getting so fed up being off on the sick, I am due back at the physio tomorrow - but all she seems to offer is sympathy and nothing else tbh. I dont think there is anything else they CAN do.
Anyway-I dont know what to do - I had a very lazy day during the week (just lazing on the sofa for most of it, and shuffling around the house for the rest) and the pain was totally copable -could even walk up the stairs (normally I am on all fours lol- lovely sight for anyone coming in my front door lol) but the next day I drove to the shops and spent a couple of hours on my feet and was straight back to square one by that evening -relying on painkillers, attached to my heated wheatbag constantly, using my crutches to walk and crawling up the stairs on all fours again.

Oh well !! Hope everyone else is well

Mrsbeanbump -my scan pics aren'tthat great either at 20weeks -although baby is obviously bigger, my 13w scan pics are much clearer - quite disappointing actually !!!

xx

 

[mrsbeanbump]

Hi! Just passing some time before my dentist appointment this morning! I figured it was worth it to make use of my pregnancy card!

Donna- maybe you should take up knitting/crochetting? something to pass the time... its becoming all the rage and you could make something for bump! Sorry to hear how much pain your in at the moment and hope it gets sorted soon!

Any names yet? we're no where closer with names.... or any major decisions like prams or furniture. being our first we need everything but its so overwhelming! Boys names are so difficult...

Well anyways, off to the dentist and then to work!!

Have a great day!

xx

 

[wannabubba#4]

Lol -went to the physio yesterday and now i have tubigrip from under my breasts down to my thigh; with a huge girdle type support belt on top -very sexy lol. It does feel nice and supportive though. Physio thinks I have torn my abdo muscles -what next??, broken pelvis, broken abdo muscles lol.

Anyway knitting / crotcheting - I would be rubbish at them tbh -not very creative, cant even sew on a button lol -but thanks for the suggestion lol -I was more wondering though if I should be going backt o work ? or not? I am so torn with guilt at being off, but as i work in a team environment, I am scared to go back and be a burden on everyone else.And bloody hell what use would I be in an emergency situation?? Scary thought!! Physio doesn't think doc wil let me go back anyway, if it means relying on painkillers to get through.

Boys names are hard aren't they lol?? I had loads of girls names thought out too, Sienna, Willow ,Evie, Gracie, Harlowe, Freya. Was probably going for either Sienna Lillie, or Harlowe Lily if she'd been a girl.

For boys I like Cole (my fave at the moment), Tyler, Mason, Max, Finlay, Ethan, Oliver (Olly).His middle name is going to be David after his dad, but still totally undecided on first name as yet. My other kids are Loren Rose, Conor Andrew and Ben Matthew. Middle names were all grandparents of mine.

Enjoy the dentist lol - I am such a big scaredy cat when it comes tothe dentist lol -I hate going!!

Have a good day ladies xx

Hey ladies, hope everyone is ok. sorry i haven't been on in a while!
Just been pottering along lol. Got nearly all my big stuff either brought or on order now which is fab lol.
And got a provisional 4d scan booked for 24th April... can't wait hehe.

My 20 week scans were no where near as clear as my 13 weeks ones either. Yet bubs was so so clear on the screen! Grrrrr lol. xx

Yay -that is exciting
I have bought quite a few baby clothes, blankets, socks, even shoes lol but everytime I try and order something big I totally chicken out lol. I have picked my pram, and nursery decor and swinging baby seat; have had them all in my 'basket' ready to order and then can't go through with it lol

I think I might have to wait until 24 weeks now lol -viability day - I don't know what is wrong with me -maybe because its so much money lol -but the money's there for them so wtf??? I feel him moving everyday and our anomaly scan went brilliantly but I am stil a bit scared.

Have you got your pram /travel system? -what did you go for?
Are you having a nursery? Have you decided on decor yet?

If I was having a girl, then I was going to definately buy the fisherprice butterfly papasan cradle swing -it is so lush!! Now I have chosen the fisherprice precious planet one, its so cute. I cant wait to see my lil man in it Our nursery is going to be Lollipop Lane, Fish and Chips - I cant wait to get it done now. - if i ever get around to actually buying it lol

lotta love to mums and bumps xxxxxxxxx
