Its June!!!!! 20 week scan next month!!! Whos with me?

[Inoue]

Im so glad it went well Sarah! Fundal height is still quite high for the stage but you will know more on the growth scan, mine was only about 7 mins long and she got all the data so it doesnt take long. I guess your seeing the consultant afterwards? Sorry to hear about your mum, never had immediate family lost apart from my Grandad which was very traumatic at the time (totally unexpected) but im glad your keeping yourself busy xxx

 

[Sarahcake]

Yeah seeing the consultant afterwards, will be trying my best to wangle some answers out of him! If he continues growing like he is there's no way I can carry on till my due date, just hope he recognises that and decides to help me!

I'm ok, had a bit of a cry this morning but its been so long now that it's sunk in there's no point me sitting alone all day and thinking about it, won't bring her back will it. Death sucks but yeah, I'm ok

 

[Inoue]

Bless ya. Youve had your little silence today to remember her and thats important, nothing wrong in getting upset

Make sure you try and get some answers from the consultant, i havent actually met mine yet! I just keep seeing random consultants from all over, abit annoying really as im literally in and out of the room in 2 minutes (not that i have concerns, but still...).


Maybe this thought will make you smile; in one more day, we can offically say "Our babies are due next month" xxx

 

[ttc_lolly]

I can't believe we can say that as of Monday!! My baby is due in 2 months exactly today, soooo scary!

Thinking of you today Sarah

 

[pops23]

Thinking of you today Sarah lovely

I don't have you on fb I don't think, what's your full name?

Weve done our nursery this weekend, it is totally gorgeous, so exciting!

Also been rethinking on boys name, we just can't decide! Currently in the running Flynn, Logan (like Sarah, good taste!) and Brandon, Bran for short

Any thoughts? Xxx

 

[pops23]

Ps yay to October tomorrow, we start our nct classes tomorrow night! Xx

 

[Scally]

Hey all! What a manic weekend! Worked Saturday then drove to Gloucester, slept for an hour Saturday night, had lots of baby cuddles today and have just got back home! Long journey but worth it for the baby snuggles!

Sarah- huge hugs for you, I lost my mum 10 years ago, it doesnt get easier, especially when you get pregnant and start having children and that special person is missing.

Pops- yay for your nursery! how exciting! pics??? I like all those boys names!

Inoue- hey! my foof is much better now thank you! haha! Cannot wait until tomorrow to say we are due next month!

Hey Lauryn- did you have a good weekend?

Kellie- hope you enjoyed Great Yarmouth!

So funny, i was cuddling my SIL's newborn Sam and he was rooting! I think i must be giving off the milk scent now! He wouldnt settle on me much just kept trying to go for them!

x

 

[ttc_lolly]

Pops they are all lovely names it's so hard trying to decide, but I'm sure once you meet him you'll know his name straight away!

Wow what a day for you Ally! I've had a busy weekend - 3 kid's parties (well, Amber's was one of them that her grandparents did at theirs so that wasn't too difficult ) and we've been to view some houses too we have found one that we love, just got to wait for our financial advisor to come back to us now to see if we can borrow the extra we need for the mortgage, so keep your FX'd for me ladies

Had some painful twinges down below today, and they weren't too nice!

 

[pops23]

Good luck lauryn!

So sorry to hear about your mums Sarah and ally, my mum has progressive motor neurone disease and is severely disabled with no use of her lower body and very limited use of he legs. She is still fully capable of speaking etc which is great but it upsets me a lot that she won't be able to cuddle her grandchild and look after it like my friends mums will.

Glad you like the names, hubs also likes Brody. I'm leaning towards Flynn right now!

Pics of nursery coming soon xxx

 

[Sarahcake]

Hey ladies just a short message as I'm on my phone about to head to bed!

I thought I had you on there pops, my name is Sarah Collings, you'll be able to find me through the others here if you have them too.

I'm going with Logan btw, but I'm biased! Flynn is lovely, not very heard of too, where I am anyways!

Thank you all so much for all your kind thoughts and well wishes regarding my mum, it means a lot to me it really does. I'm ok most of the time but days like yesterday it's almost like I allow myself to think about it and it gets me a bit. But I'm ok today, I know she wouldn't want me moping around

Can't wait to see your nursery pops! I've not started on one here as I don't want to do it then be offered a house elsewhere! Be sods law that will happen as soon as the paint dry!

Can't believe it's October tommorrow! Our due dates are next month (nearly lol) how mad is that! Start my ante natal classes on Tuesday so looking forward to those! Currently got my friends betting on the likelyhood of Logan turning into an October baby now lol!

Sorry if I've not replied to people here phone browsing is a pain hope we are all good and have had a lovely weekend? X

 

[kellie_w]

Morning.... IT'S OCTOBER!!!! We are going to be mummys next month!! It feels so real now, so exciting!

Sarah and ally, I'm so sorry to hear about your mums and that your mum is so poorly pops I can't even begin to think about how hard some days must be for you all. My grandad had been gone 26 years yesterday and my mum had so many tears yesterday over him. Kind of hits seeinig her like that that as much as they say time is a healer it's not at all.

Good luck with your house Lauryn! Hope it all goes through smoothly. How did Amber's party go?

Pops, I love your names, my fav out of them is brody. I love that name!

Ohh ally, you got your baby cuddles! I bet it was lovely! Do you have any more pics to share, he is such a cutie! Not good for the hours sleep though, Saturday again

Had a lovely holiday, glad to home to a comfy sofa and bed though! I couldn't sleep Friday night as it was so cold, I had a snoring dh one side and a coughing son the other and was in the most uncomfortable bed. Walked miles Saturday and ended up with horrible ligament pain, felt like a constant stabbing stitch which was horrible. Yesterday was better after more sleep though!

Any appointments this week? Sarah did I see you have a growth scan weds? Is Logan still moving well? X

 

[Sarahcake]

Glad you had a nice time away Kellie besides the uncomfy bed and pain getting back to your own bed must have been like heaven!

I hope your mum is ok Kellie, and you too of course. Family deaths are never easy, no matter how long it's been since it happened

I do have a growth scan on Wednesday yeah, thank god, I'd have lost the plot waiting until 36 weeks! The registrar wanted it done when I was up the hospital the other day but it was 5pm and the scanning unit was closed. Would really like to know if I'm actually measuring 42 weeks or if my fundal height is crazy out for some reason. But besides that, he's back to moving well which is a massive relief

I can't believe it's October already... We're due next month!! How mad is that!

 

[Scally]

ITS OCTOBER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DUE NEXT MONTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lauryn- fingers crossed for you finances, and yay for finding the house! Is there a chain? When do they hope you can all move?

Pops- Sorry to hear about your mum xx

Kellie- Glad you had a good holiday, did you have a caravan? We went away last September and by god the caravan was FREEZING!!!!

I have a couple of pics on my phone, i'll sort them out, Izzy was fantastic with him, I was so proud of her, she kept singing him songs, tickling his feet, she helped me feed him a bottle, and she rocked him in his moses basket. Bless her, i really hope she's the same with ours!

x

 

[kellie_w]

Ohh I remember seeing that now about you measuring 42 weeks, its insane! I'm guessing you have a lot of fluid round Logan. Very glad to hear he is back to moving well. Oliver had a quiet 5 hours, it made me panic as I always feel him when I sit down and relax. Such a relief when you finally get that kick!

I can't get out of bed today, no motivation whatsoever. Luke is happily destroying his room so im making the most of staying in the warm!My cat was screeching outside at 5am, couldn't sleep after that so now I'm ready to sleep again! Someone make me move!! X

 

[kellie_w]

Ally, aww izzy is going to be a amazing help! Guess she just at the right age to fully understand. I don't know what to expect from my monster, he will prob try and tip him out of everything and poke him in the eyes! He rubbed my belly last night when I asked him where baby is, so maybe he is getting it now! Be lovely to see some pictures, bet he has changed already! Did you ever say what his name is? We did stay in a caravan, it was so cold and dirty, the 3 times we been before we had a free upgrade, not this time though. The heating only came on when the thermostat was above 25c so we were either roasting or freezing! X

 

[Scally]

I think she might be a bit too helpful, I am going to have to keep an eye on her, i can imagine her lifting the baby out of the moses basket by herself if its crying!

His name is Samuel, I was so scared about holding a newborn but i changed his nappy and everything! He was soooo tiny even though his 9lb!

Thats insane about the heating in your caravan! We did it last year, went on a Sun holiday in Scotland and got married in Gretna Green, and i remember wearing all my clothes to bed, and get every duvet in the place to put over me!

x

 

[ttc_lolly]

Morning ladies!!! WE ARE DUE NEXT MONTH can't believe it!!

Kellie - Glad you had a good holiday, although I feel your happiness about being back home in your own bed! The bed in the chalet we stayed in was not comfortable at all, my hips and pelvis felt crushed every morning after waking up

Ally - Awwww that is so cute, Izzy will be an awesome big sis! We went back to visit my family in Nottingham last weekend and met my friend's newborn son. Amber was great with him, she did get a bit uninterested after 20mins or so though!

What a miserable day it is! Definitely Autumn now. I have my 31 week appt with the consultant at the hospital today @ 2pm. Got a few queries to bring up with him, and should make a little list really because I know this preggo brain will forget! I need to discuss my GTT results. Had the test done back in August and haven't heard a thing back from them I'm pretty sure if I had it they'd be in touch with me straight away, but it would have been nice to have been told I'm in the clear anyway! Then I need to ask why my FH has only been measured once, and the MW who did it did it with her fingers and not a tape measure!! Never seen it done like that before

 

[Scally]

Good luck with your appointment Lauryn! Do make a list! I always do as my mind goes blank usually!
X

 

[ttc_lolly]

I measured ahead by a good few weeks with Amber, had to have growth scans too so I think it's weird no one has measured me properly this time it was all a load of crap anyway mind, as Amber was low birth weight! Must have just been my belly blub making the FH measurements ahead but thought they might want to at least try monitor this baby's size to make sure she's growing ok I dunno...!

 

[Sarahcake]

Good luck with your consultant appointment today Lauryn, I would definately write a list of things to go over. I plan to do the same for Wednesday as I know how forgetful I am at the best of times, let alone with baby brain in tow!

Measuring with finger spacing used to be common practice a few years ago, was it an older midwife you had by any chance? That was part of their training before and I guess that old habits die hard for some!
