***January Jellybeans***~ 35 BABY GIRLS & 23 BABY BOYS BORN ~***

Also, if i remember correctly- I loved 25. OH has yet to experience that but since our LO will be 2 and half by then I think his experience will be a lot different to mine. When I think of things like that I feel like I've robbed him of his youth but I guess he chose to be with me, to get married and to have the baby too so it's not really my decision. I hope.
 
I was 19 with my daughter and I am 28 now so a 9 year gap but we always wanted a big gap my oh just turned 46 so we have a big age gap but it's worked for 11 years I think he's just a big kid
 
LittleMrs - I was 26 when I had Phoebe and OH was 28. When little lady is born I will be 27, 28 in Feb and OH will be 29. It doesn't matter how old or young you are when you have your first. In my baby group friends from Phoebe the oldest first time mum was 39 and the youngest 21. Age isnt a factor in my eyes.

Mom2be - hope you and baby are ok.
 
Rachel, my mum keeps telling me the exact same thing- though you say it in a much more reassuring manner. My mum puts it as 'doesn't matter how old you are, you're never ready to have kids' which is probably true but not what you wanna hear when you're panicking your ass off! Lol.

Abstersmum- I like to think that our age gap works too but time will tell. If/when our relationship has lasted as long as yours then I'll feel more confident.
 
I was 26 when my first came. Oh was 36. I'll be 28 and he will be 38 when our boy gets here.
Ok so I. Heading home from hospital now. No infection and pain went away during my 4.5 hour sleep. Today is going to be a LONG day.
 
Glad you are ok Mom2be

Tracy I am 29 expecting my first. When I think of being pregnant at 29 I feel like I'm definately old enough to be having a baby. But when I think of actually having the baby I feel way too young!!!

Lisa just noticed you are under 20 days!!!!

34 weeks for me today, look proper preggo now : )
 
Ooh yay for baby flipping upside down on my ticker.....now if he would just kindly stop headbutting my bladder!
 
HAppy 34 weeks millward

Glad to hear all is well Laura

DH and I are both 29 expecting 1st. We would really like to have our babies close in age so plan to get pregnant again when LO is around 1. Anyone else want their's really close in age??
 
Afternoon folks! I not been up long. OH cooking a roast and I had a lovely lie in and bfast in bed.

I am 30 :) Had Caine at 28. Seems to be about average,

Off to a party tonight need to find something to wear and pluck my eyebrows.

Can believe I slept for like 11 hours! Yay
 
Lovealittle 1 - Yes My babies are also close in age :) And to warn you I got pregnant VERY quick when we started trying! 13 cycles to make Caine and 1 to make this one :lol: It was a bit of a shock!

My cousins are 11 months apart :shock:
 
I wanted my kids close in age but it took over a year to get pregnant. But 2.5 years is still pretty close together.

I have to go in to see my dr this week instead of waiting until the following monday but other than that they dont know what was wrong with me or what the cramps were from. I love being a mystery! NOT. i just hope it doesn't happen again.
 
Hey girls, its the afternoon here so prob nighttime for most of you. Sar glad you are able to go home and hopefully little joe will be joining you soon, love the name! Mom2B your lil gals bedroom is lovely!

Well I keep hoping something is going on down there but I'm pretty sure I'm reading way too much into everything now as I want it to happen so badly! Getting more CM than normal today and still had a tiny bit of spotting. I'm sure its all nothing though....can't help but get my hopes up though :dohh:

:hug:

Sounds very promising hun. Make sure you keep us updated. It's so nice to see some signs towards the end. I too have increased CM but no bleeding. Really hope we have our babies soon. :happydance:

Ok so I'm in hospital. Not in labour. They think bladder or kidney infection because my urine is very cloudy and has stuff floating in it. Tmi sorry. They are keeping me over night because my dr will be here in the morning so if I need meds he can write them for me. So a crappy night sleep for me tonight as I'm in pain and it's almost 230 am now. I think the dr will be in around 8. IM off to try to catch some zzzzzzzz's now

So glad you were not in labour,. I bet you must be relieved. I hope you feel better soon. Big hugs. :hugs:

Glad you are ok Mom2be

Tracy I am 29 expecting my first. When I think of being pregnant at 29 I feel like I'm definately old enough to be having a baby. But when I think of actually having the baby I feel way too young!!!

Lisa just noticed you are under 20 days!!!!

34 weeks for me today, look proper preggo now : )

Wahooo for 34 weeks and baby turning! lol :happydance:


I don't know what is going on but I am like a bottomless pit at the moment! All I want to do is eat, eat, eat!!! :haha:

I feel sooooo tired as Eloise is poorly bless her and was panicking last night as her nose was so blocked and she couldn't breath. :(

I was 28 when I fell pregnant with Eloise and had just turned 29 when I had her. I am now 31 and sometimes wonder if I am too old but, it sounds as though it's about the same as most people on here. :)

Full term today!!!!!! Wahoooooo!! Come on baby!!!!
 
:happydance: Naomi full term!

Jade-cousins that are 11 months wow that is very close in age!!
 
Lovealittle - my babies will be close in age, there will be almost 15 months between them.

Like Jade I also got pregnant very quickly this time round. We had been trying for over 2 years with Phoebe (got pregnant 3 times but miscarried each time) with this pregnancy we decided in March that we werent going to use contraception anymore and that we would let nature take its course. If we got pregnant then that would be fantastic if not there was no disappointment as we werent trying. In May we got our positive pregnancy test.
 
Yeah it sometimes happens that we get brothers and sisters in the same class....if one is born September and the other in August.

Naomi yay for full term : )

Now been meaning to ask this for some time....what does DH and DS mean. Also now there is a new confusion....CM???
 
Congrats on being full term Naomi. Hopefully not long left you either now :D
 
Hello everyone! Wwow I had so much to read!

Yay for sarah being home and picking the name Joe! Hope everyhting is ok babe, if you don't have the time to update I'm sure me and Naomi can carry on doing it for you if you want to that is :hugs:

Laura sorry youve been having a bad time. Glad your little one is staying put though!

Susie yay for 34 weeks. Its getting closer and closer now!

Naomi - wow full term for you! Im only a week behind you hun!

Lisa you are getting lots of signs how exciting. Have you had the pineapple yet??

Tracey I am 25 as is my OH. Will be 26 at beg of feb so not long after bean comes along. We were planning on starting to try about now lol to be 26-27 when I had a baby but seeing as bean wanted to surprise us then that changed the plans lol!

Think DH is darling husband and DS is darling son?! And CM is cervical mucus (nice) I believe!

Right so time to talk about me lol!

I am feeling much better today but had a really rough day yesterday. My chest was awful and we went to get the tree and then went to the pub for lunch and think I just overdid it really. Jack went out last night and I did a supermarket run which was lovely at 8pm last night as it was totally empty and I jsut took my time and strolled round. Cos I really wore myself out I ended up staying in bed till 10 woop woop! :happydance: Jack came up after I went to bed as he could hear me coughing and was concerned and he gave me a bit of a telling off for still trying to do too much when Im ill. So have spent today starting to make christmas cards and lounging around on the sofa. Have put a stew in the slow cooker though - I just can't help myself, :haha:. First day since weds that I'm only on my antibiotics tho today and not taking any paracetemol. Still coughing like mad but think it's just a chesty cough with a cold now, I'm hoping the infection has cleared up.

Cos of all my activity despite being ill I have been having lots of period like pains which I believe are BH contractions??!! They tend to start at the top of my bump and work their way round the sides to the bottom. No pattern to them though although we do check the time when they happen just in case. OH thinks it means bean will be early but I would like him to stay in till after xmas. Really for selfish reasons which are I would like a xmas just for me and him as other xmases we have woke up at the parents houses and this year we are staying put until we go for dinner at my mum and dads. I really want that to happen lol!!!

I have a bit of a question about BH too! Now this tended to happen a little when I had period pains but when I get the cramp like pain, by the time it gets down to bottom of the bump, it feels like tummy ache when you need the loo and generally I have to trump :blush: which is a bit embarassing!! I'm hoping i won't need to break wind everytime I have a contraction when it happens for real...........

:blush::blush::blush:
 
HAppy 34 weeks millward

OH hasn't mentioned it either way- I'm planning for about 2-3 yrs between coz it works out well if they want to go to uni (one starting as the other finishes) so I have a small chance of being able to afford that.

Millward, I'm the same. I'm fine until I think about being a parent. But I have a bit of an issue with seeing myself as a proper grown up anyway. Yes, I have a career that I worked hard to get and have been doing for 6 yrs, I have a mortgage and I'm married but when I list the grown up things I've done or accomplished it all seems like it must have been someone else. Do u think people ever feel grown up?

Sorry guys, I'm being a bit introspective and weird today.
 
I don't see myself as a grown up at all even though we are married have careers aRe pregnant and have a home! I am excited to be a parent so I can do kid things again like go to the park, play in the snow etc.
