July 2014 buddies

Hi guys sorry for radio silence! I wrote a long reply then my stupid phone ate it

Mrs w - I don't know re having another prem. the gp said no more likely than anyone else but the Mw wanted me to see a consultant so we will see! Being late is very frustrating too - due dates suck!!!!

Very exciting re your scan - I hope it comes round quickly, the last couple of weeks really dragged for me!

I too have had some funny reactions from friends - trying not to take it personally and see it as their issue rather than mine. The one friend I told who I know is ttc after a mc earlier in the year was unbelievably sweet bless her. I so hope she gets her BFP soon. I'm lending her my cbfm after Xmas so hopefully it will do the trick for her too!

So are you guys going to find out what you're having?? We will stay team yellow

Ooh I also got my nuchal results today - 1 in 100,000. Will take that thanks very much!

Right I'm signing off before this message gets lost too!!

Happy new year everyone! Xx

 

[kylesmom]

Happy New year to you too!

We are team yellow as well.
I hope your friend gets her BFP soon

 

[Fleur29]

Thanks hon! Do you have an inkling of what you might be having? My money for me is on a boy but I honestly don't mind either way. A girl would be easier as we have so many clothes etc but it would of course be nice to have one of each

 

[Mrs W 11]

1 in 100,000, wowsers!!! I thought mine was good last time at 1 in 15,000! That's fab.

We will be team yellow as well. Last time I was totally convinced I was having a boy and so was everyone else. I was so shocked (but absolutely thrilled) when my husband announced I'd had a baby girl!! No feelings yet this time but again I don't mind really. I'd love another girl as Freya has been so wonderful and we have all of the clothes and toys, but one of each would be cool and hubby would like a boy so either way!

I found last time some of the people struggling to conceive we're the sweetest ones about our news. It's sad that often those who really deserve that bfp and would make amazing parents are the ones who have problems. I hope your friend gets her bfp soon.

Happy new year everyone xx

 

[kylesmom]

Congrats on both your counts!

This pregnancy is 100% different and worse than baby #1 . We found out we were having a boy with baby #1 ( I didn't want to know) Hubby begged and I caved
I knew from the start it was a boy, I felt awesome! Amazing, full of energy, best pregnancy ever!

This time, it's awful, sickness ALL the time, Horomones all over the place lol. I bet it's a girl. I would be happy either way. If we had a boy at least I know with toys/clothes we are set forever!
If it's a girl I may go broke because the girl clothes are sooooooooooooooo adorable!!!!!!!
My SIL had a baby girl in the summer so I am set with outfits Either way we would be happy with either gender

 

[Fleur29]

Kylesmom - having a girl is dreadful for spending ££ on clothes!!!!! My dd has more clothes than I know what to do with! And I always end up buying her stuff when I'm looking for me

Yeah 1 in 100k is pretty good! I was surprised as for dd it was 1 in 70k so didn't expect to be even lower this time!

I wasn't surprised when they said dd was a girl but I hadn't wanted to let myself get attached to the idea of a boy or a girl so all the thoughts that kept saying girl last time I just suppressed!!

You're so right mrs w re the friends struggling to conceive being the sweetest. Two of my Nct girls, who both have toddlers and conceived first try have been the funny ones this time. For varying reasons neither are able to try for #2 yet (but ideally would like to I think) so that could be why they've been a bit off. Or maybe I'm just reading too much into it with my heightened pregnancy hormones!!!! More than likely ;-)

What's everyone up to for new year? I will be sitting on the sofa in my pj's eating a massive takeaway - I actually can't wait!!! Normally I love nye and get totally plastered but I don't even feel sad that I can't do that! How rock n roll ;-)

 

[Mrs W 11]

What a shame, I guess those girls are jealous that you are pregnant and obviously not handling it very well. 2 of my nct group are pregnant ahead of me so I will be the 3rd of 7 to go for number 2!

Well I had got Freya a lovely kids m&s dinner as a treat and set up her high hair in the living room so she could watch Cinderella and she's refusing to eat grrrrrr. Once she's in bed we've got a nice dinner, mushrooms with Stilton (nhs website says we can now eat Stilton as its a hard cheese woohoo!!) and steak with chips and pepper sauce, followed by chocolate trifle! We will just be sat on sofa watching tv and maybe a board game late.

Have fun both, happy new year!! Xx

 

[kylesmom]

What a lovely night planned.
I plan to go out and bang pots and pans with LO early right before bed time to give him the excitement of New Years
Then i will veg on the couch the rest of the night till I pass out
Happy New Years!!!!!

 

[TwinMommy6]

Hi ladies.....can your group fit one more?
I too am finding it hard to fit in the big groups
I am due July 31st with my third my twin boys just turned 7 yesterday. (That was bittersweet)
Mrs. W I think I saw some of your posts from the other July thread its far too busy for me.
I also have an u/s this friday I'm super excited to see this little bean
Sorry to hear some of you have had such bad sicknesses. Hopefully it passes soon!!!

 

[Mrs W 11]

Welcome twinmommy! Congrats on expecting #3 and enjoy your ultrasound tomorrow! I can't wait for mine, a week on Monday!

I did post in the bigger July threads at first but found my posts were getting ignored as I wasn't one of the regular posters and so I decided to try and find a smaller group where we could get to know each other a bit more.

 

[kylesmom]

Happy New Year! It's the year of new babies!!!!!!!!!

Hi Twinmommy!
Hooray for ultrasound day! So excited for you.

My ultrasound is next Thursday, feels like an eternity away!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hope everyone had a wonderful new years
My son officially climbs out of the crib (3 am , 4am) saying he is hungry. This start of the year sure has been a rough one! Not sure how to get him to stop climbing out! He won't sleep in his big boy bed, and will only go down in his crib if we wait in the room for him to PASS OUT then we sneak out OYE Any advice

 

[TwinMommy6]

Oh no I remember my little guys doing that, the transition was a challenge lol

next thursday will be here before you know it!!!!

 

[Fleur29]

Hi ladies! Twinmommy - how exciting to have your scan tomorrow. Come and update us afterwards. Have you had any early scans? Do you know for definite there is only one baba in there?!!!

When I was waiting for my scan I kept working out how many days I had until it and then looking back at what I was doing that many days previously - helped it to go fast!!

Kylesmom - how old is he? My dd is 2 and still in her cot... She is still in a grobag though and i think it stops her managing to climb out. Is that an option? Alternatively could you put up a bed guard so its a bit like a cot/crib but not so dangerous to fall out of? Is he still napping in the daytime? Maybe he doesn't need so long if he is waking up at night? My dd woke up at 5am this morning, raring to go - zzzz. Starting to think that her 2 hour nap needs to be cut down I love those two hours of peace!!!!

 

[TwinMommy6]

I will definitely come and update
I did have a super early scan at 4.5 weeks which I have no clue why my doc did that because the tech saw nothing of course because it was too early but regardless scared me that something was wrong. They also told me I must have miscarried and said a urine test was negative at 7.5 weeks sent me for blood work and my hcg came in at 66619 my doctor than called me and said they made a mistake and I was still pregnant (a week later) needless to say I really need this scan for some reassurance since this pregnancy has been alot of grief but im optimistic that this little bean will be just fine!!!!!!aAlso praying there is just one lol

I know how you feel about nap time....its hard when they no longer need one for me that was shower housework and dinner prep hahah

 

[Mrs W 11]

That sounds like its been extra stressful twinmommy, I hope all goes well tomorrow, I'm sure it will feel like a big weight has lifted once you know all is ok with baby (or babies maybe?!). Enjoy seeing your little bean on the scan! Can't wait to hear about it.

Kylesmom do you think he's really hungry or just waking up? Sounds tiring. Freya is only 17 months so I'm not too sure on advice, she does wear a sleeping bag too so she can't move around that much in her cot. Hope you get it sorted soon.

I agree about nap time, I need it to get some chores done when we are at home! Hadn't thought of when she would stop napping!

 

[kylesmom]

Twinmom that is scary! I hope all goes well with scan! Glad things are good!
When i went in for my blood work my doc's first question was: So how many miscarraiges have you had? I about fell off the rocker! She then said oh i am so sorry that was meant for another patient, your blood work is fine! (what a relief)

The baby is 2 years old, he is 37 inches tall so no sleeping bags, I am sure he would figure out a way to get out even with that on as well. He is the size of a 3.5 year old

I think cutting back nap time will work, and I doubt he is hungry and just his way to get what he wants which is no sleep

 

[pinksmarties]

Hi ladies wondered if I could join you. I was part of another thread but didn't get chance to post much and kept being ignored. This is my 2nd pg, a slight surprise, as my ds was only 10 months old. I have had 2 early scans due to previous losses and all seems well. I have my 12/NT week scan on Monday. Due date 21st July.

I see a couple of you had CS and are hoping for a VBAC, me too.

kylesmom - can't help with the climbing out of bed as we are also in sleeping bags but my ds is also a lot younger (not walking yet either). Hope reducing the naps help but I know what you mean about having that little bit of free time during the day.

twinmom - I am sure all will be fine but I can imagine the worry after such a stressful start.

Hi fleur, Mrs W, beaumrs, misha79, kimberleyrobx

 

[Fleur29]

Hi pink smarties, welcome to the gang! So you'll have around 18 months between your two? My friend has that with her kids and they play so nicely together as they're into the same kind of stuff now ;-)

Are you finding out what you're having or staying team yellow?

Twinmommy - hope the scan goes well today, keep us posted! X

 

[pinksmarties]

Roughly 19 months between them. I know its going to be hard but hopefully they'll be able to play together when they are older. We probably will find out as we did with the pg with my son. I wasn't too bothered to know but OH quite keen.

 

[kimberleyrobx]

How is everyone feeling? I turned 10 weeks yesterday... i thought all my symptoms had completely disappeared because apart from my mood swings i had NOTHING yesterday! But then i woke up from a doze this afternoon and i feel terrible! It's all back xx
