Wow so I haven't been on in aaaaaaaaages. I don't even know why I went from total addict to not coming on like AT ALL. I miss BnB :cry: so I'm back!!

Gosh bet there are sooo many newbies now so to all of you CONGRATS, WELCOME AND HEY :flower: I'm Jade, 20 and expecting my first baby, a beeeautiful little girl named Evie :cloud9: Less than 8 weeks to go til due day :happydance:

Sooooo how is everyone?
Nothing new with me and Evie really. Had my baby shower which was AWESOME and another 4D that showed bubs with plenty of hair, chubby chubby cheeks and some monster pouty lips! According to her measurements and the computery working out system she's weighing 5lbs 7oz (2 and a half weeks ahead) so she's quite the little fatty! She has extra long legs though so hoping she's tucking most of her weight into them rather than like a big wide head :haha:

Feeling HUGE now but still not really put any weight on anywhere other than bump and boobs so I'm thankful for that! Got my first little stretchies the last couple of days but they're still reeeally faint. Quite proud of my mummy marks.. just hope they stay under control :haha:

Yeah.. so that's me :thumbup: hope you're all goooooooooooooood :hugs: xxx

How cute is that scan pic?! Hehe. What did you get a your baby shower? My mum keeps going on at me to come up with a date for mine!
 
:wave: been wondering where you've been! Loving your new avatar pic hun and i never knew a 4d scan could tell you if your LO had hair?! How much do they cost?
There do seem to be a LOT of newbies and all the people i used to recognise on here are all having their babies and dissappearing so i think you should staaaaay!..xx
 
OOooo I got loooads!! Main things were a HUGE nappy cake made by my mum's friend and her daughter with lots of cute bits and pieces in it; obvs lots of nappys, dummys, muslins, little flannels, a towel, bootees, socks, baby toiletries and health stuff like colic drops and a digital thermometer (how practical are they? lol) and other cute things.. and a mummy-to-be hamper which had lots of pampery goodies in it :happydance: and then just lots of cute outfits and soft toys and a few little keepsakes :thumbup:

I recommend having it about 32 weeks ish.. was perfect for me cos I'm just starting to get too uncomfortable to have done it any later but at 32 weeks I was big and pregnant enough to lap up all the bump attention :haha: plus it's close enough to D-day to be getting all excited! xxx

The 4D scan didn't! He was just looking on the normal black and white scan and you could see all the little spikey bits floating around in the fluid on the back of her head. He said you can't usually see it so she must have LOTS of thick hair :happydance: like meee when I was born. Explains all the heartburn I've been getting :haha:

My first 4D was worth like £200 cos it was the full package with DVD, picture CD, print outs etc, but this one was just a little picture package and was £80. TOTALLY worth it, I feel so much more bonded with her and it's been great reasssurance after all the issues I had with Down's syndrome from my hospital scans.

Haha I will deffo stay now! I'm getting too lazy to do anything other than sit on my laptop these days anyway so there will be no getting rid of me now for at least another 8 weeks :haha: x
 
8 weeks! Craziness.
I so want to book one but OH thinks it would be a waste of money :(..xx
 
Glad to see you back! Now I don't have to stalk you on fb! I will anyway though :haha:

Aww sounds like you were spoilt....(every pregnant girl deserves to be of course!). Glad you had a good time! I don't know if to do a baby registry for mine or just let people choose theirselves?!

You do any games? I'm trying to come up with a list of fun games lol.

I think i wanna do it on maternity leave which will be from 33 weeks don't wanna do it any later than that coz i know i'll be like a beached whale hehe!

Definitely NOT a waste of money! I can't stress enough how much it was worth it, it really is an amazing experience and something you can only do once obviously cos once bubs is out there is no going back lol.
FOB said it was a waste of money so I said if he wants to come we'll split it if not then I'll go on my own (well with Mum) and pay for it by myself :thumbup:

I didn't do a registry, people will either already know what they want to get you (a couple of my friends had their hearts set on little outfits from the beginning and I didn't have the heart to tell them I have too many clothes as it is lol :dohh:) or they'll ask if there is anything you need and then you can tell them :) Idk maybe it's just me.. or cos it's not so traditional a thing here as it is in the US but I find it a bit presumtuous to have a registry. Like as much as I was spoilt and LOVED my gifts I wasn'y expecting anything other than my friends and family to share a good time with me and some of my friends didn't bring gifts and I'd have hated for them to feel bad about it you know? Whereas cos there was no formal gift-givingness it wasn't a big deal at all.

We played a game called 'Who's In The Bag' which is just a normal party game (IT'S AWESOME) cos it is so simple to play and really breaks the ice cos there were quite a few people who didn't know each other. Then we played pin the dummy on the baby which was HILARIOUS and i had people fill out some 'wish cards' and 'birth predictions' cards to keep as like a souvenir :cloud9: I had baby shower bingo to play too but totally forgot about it til afterwards lol
