[Lorts]

Yeah, good point!!! She had her heart set on a sister though! She wanted to call her Bow!

 

[LittleMrs]

Still not feeling movements so have ordered a doppler to ease my mind. It should arrive tomorrow so hopefully that will help.

Managed to get some cheap huggies today thanks to boots. I had a £2 off voucher that i printed from the huggies website and boots have a newborn nappie, wipes, coupons and little hat set which is £3.33 at the moment so using the self service tills (incase they didn't like the voucher at the proper tills!) I got the pack for £1.33. The coupons inside are for £2 off newborn huggies and £2 huggies little swimmers. I got outside the shop cut the coupons out and went back in and bought another set like above and then also got the little swimmers. We are going to be using cloth nappies (after the first few days) so don't need a huge amount of newborn nappies (still have two lots to buy for freebies!) so decided we will give the second box to my bf's sister who had a baby 2 weeks ago.

apart from my bargain today I baked a chocolate cake (half of which I took to my dads) and handed my 2 months notice of intent to vacant my rented house.

Hope everyone else has had a good day

Snowy willow - I'm not feeling much either. She didn't move much for days after my scan and she slept through the scan too. I have felt a couple of movements over the last few days but nothing like everyone else seems to be feeling. Certainly nothing that can be felt from the outside or any movement I can see. But I am a bit chunky so maybe it takes longer.

i also havent felt any movements as yet got my scan on the 13th we cant wait to see LO again i will be 21weeks by then we last saw LO at 14wks they thought i was only 12wks was bit of a shock to find out i was really 14wks lol baby was very active then though and couple weeks back my fiance got me a angel sounds doppler so i can listen to baby anytime its great and defo has helped sometimes dont find baby straight away but with persistance we do lol hope everyone is doing well and glad everyones scans are going well be our turn soon xx

 

[pinkie77]

Congrats and good lucks all round lol!

Lorts, Beau is a boy's name your daughter might like!

I keep forgetting to come in here now it's moved Off to the beach now and will try to catch up properly later x x

 

[Maffie]

Morning all, having lots of infrequent movements now. No pattern to it yet but im sure that will come with time. Still have morning sickness (gosh that is such a misnomer its bloomin all day sickness)

 

[snowy-willow]

Was going to say morning - should be afternoon though!

My doppler arrived a few hours ago and we used it straight away. We found Bean's heartbeat, heard a few kicks and some other sounds which I think was the umbilical cord or something. The doppler didn't come with gel and we found water was just soaking into my skin too quickly so we found another use for lub!!

I am still in a dilemma about having a private gender scan. I so want to know so can be organised, start thinking of Bean as one of the names we have picked, do the whole shopping thing (even if just in the sales!), go baby shopping with friends etc but right now I am getting sick of just looking at neutral stuff and I want the chance to take advantage of sales and buy clothes for later in the year - i.e 6-9 month and 9-12 month but unless I know the sex Bean will just be stuck in neutral for the first year which I don't want. When Bean is born I want to spend the first few weeks getting used to being a family of 3, getting used to being a mum etc not having to go on an bus journey of up to an hour and 15 minutes to get into the city to start buying clothes. Ebay is all very well by I do find it can be hard work to find anything and even then it might be in bad condition when it finally turns up.

I dunno am very confused and unsure of what to do. The plan is if we do have the scan to exchange some euros I have had sat in a drawer for over a year and had forgotten about and use that money for the scan as it isn't money we would miss.

My mum started the seed of doubt and having posted a thread on here it has kinda made me even more confused and when I try to explain it I just feel like I am making excuses or will be seen as making excuses as to why I can't wait and then buy things when bean is born.

Arghhhh

Anyway hope everyone is well and having a good day

had our scan today the woman was horrible and i spent most of the day crying over it, but we are having a healthy baby girl and thats all that matters. we also went to buy our pram to cheer me up and im feeling much better now

Congratulations on your little girl Cant believe the woman doing the scan was horrible thats just nasty. Which pram have you gone for?

 

[LittleMrs]

Snowy willow - no excuses, you sound like you want to know and why shouldn't you?! You don't need a reason, if you've found some money to use that you won't miss then go for it - you know what is right for you, no-one else. Good luck whatever you decide (and if you do decide to go for it then let us know) xx

we got the i candy apple i just fell in love with it

i went to the hospital today and the consultant was very sympathetic she said i could have a scan at 36 weeks and it would not be with that woman

 

[millward329]

Scan went well today but still on team yellow .... bump wouldn't open their legs! Very cute to see baby moving around and so sweet when they picked up their foot. All was well but have to go back next week as the sonographer couldn't see lower spine. Bump definately thinks my bladder is a cushion but concur with the earlier post of it being very uncomfy! The scan pic isn't brill but we can see it's little finger pointing. Imagine it doing the front crawl and it will make sense as picture is of back of head and back (why I can't have a nice face pic I don't know!)

 

[naomicourt]

Glad scan went well milward, you are lucky that you get to see baby again next week!

I hope everybody is ok. I am suffering with really bad back ache! I didn't have any back ache with my first pregnancy, so am surprised that I have this time.

I have also been getting a bit of pain in my pelvis, I feel like I am falling apart! lol

 

[Ju_bubbs]

Can I be added to the list on the 1st page please!? Only just spotted this thread lol.
