beautiful pic- its a great experience isnt it. overall my lo is measuring behind slightly but nothing to worry about. he is roughly 2lb 6oz so unless he stays in overdue i dont think he'll be a whopper baby.

Hello lovely people, anybody remember me? Sprout's mummy! I've not been on here in sooo long (I think the last time I posted was around the 15 week mark...we're on week 29 now!) so sorry for disappearing. Had a lot of horrible dramas with my boss at work, baby's dad has been quite flaky when I really didn't need it and on top of that my sis (who is also expecting) had to move house urgently which I was helping with.

It's been a really tough couple of months, April in particular was a pretty bad month. :/ But the good news is Little Sprout is fine! She's all the right sizes at her checks and we had a 3D scan which showed us her perfect little face.

How have you all been? I'm totally out of touch now with what has been going on with you ladies so please please update me! Who's found out their baby's gender? Who's chosen NAMES?! Ahhh tell me guys!!

Hi Cingraa

Of course we remember you!

All the 'teams' are in the list on the front page it's a good point about names though - we're really struggling so if anyone wants to share, feel free! lol

 

[TTCinBC]

We're naming our little one Dean. After Dh's dad. It's not my favorite name, but it means a lot to my DH. Otherwise, I would have like the names Nathaniel or Preston or Gavin. But DH veto'd every single one lol

And had LO been a girl, her name would have been Grace.

 

[KozmikKitten]

Our girls name would have been Adilyn Kelly.
Our boy name is still up for debate. Currently it is narrowed down to Gavin or Jackson.

 

[DHime]

We are tossing between several.
decisions.....
All I know is that his middle name is Barry after the person who brought DH and I together.

What is a 4D scan??

4D just means it includes video. Like you can see the baby in real time in the womb and facial features and stuff. I am getting one this Friday and they are giving me a 30 minute DVD of baby. Totally worth it if you ask me.

 

[DHime]

wow, 4D I hope I get one.
Is anyone else starting to get really panicked about not having anything ready?
I mean, I have 4 outfits, 6 spit up rags and 2 blankets. I feel very unprepared.
I have started nagging DH to hurry and go thru storage and throw out everything we don't need. We apparently kept allot of crap over the years. Now I just want everything out to make room. I gave a bunch of stuff to a neighbor who has 4 kids and is out of work so at least is well given.

 

[KozmikKitten]

DHime I feel the same way about feeling unprepared! I'll be having a shower in 2 weeks...so we have really tried to hold off until then. Its been difficult with wanting to get everything ready though! Letting the clock tick away and having the date get closer and closer without getting any more prepared!

 

[apple_20]

I've pretty much settled on alistair for my lo. Also so not ready but going to the baby show on Sunday so will be buying lots then x

I'm not sure about the states, but I know if we want a 3D/4D scan it's something we have to pay for our self through a private clinic. The scans we get through the doctor are just regular 2D scans. So might want to look into that if your wanting one.



I've started getting on my DH about getting stuff ready. It's starting to kill me. I mean, we have all the big stuff from my DD and have gotten what we didnt have since it's a boy this time. But it's getting the time to get it together.

We are putting LO in the same room as our DD for atleast a year since she will only be 4 1/2 when LO comes and our 3rd bedroom is downstairs and we don't want to be away from either of them yet. But because of that, we are giving them our room which is bigger, but not until we are ready to put LO into his own bed(sleeping through the night) Which means I can't even set up his crib and it's KILLING ME! lol I don't know what to do. I may just try and squeeze it all into my DD's room for now and then we can move them later. But we are also waiting on a new bedset for my DD so we can turn her's back into the crib(4-in-1) and that won't be for another month or so and that's driving me nuts too. There's so much to be done and I cant get started on any of it!

If a girl our little one will be Paige Addison, a boy will be Iain Alexander.

I have most of the big stuff but still haven't done much about clothes, blankets etc. My shower won't be until June 16th (i will be 36 weeks) so I keep debating whether to buy stuff now or wait until the shower.

I started packing my bag today too!!! I used one small travel bag for my stuff and used LO's diaper bag for his/her stuff. I told hubby he should start thinking about it (here DH is allowed to stay the whole time from when I admitted to when we are discharged) but he just looked at me like I was crazy!

 

[TTCinBC]

LOL Bug, I bet my DH would roll his eyes at me too! DH's never used to be able to stay unless you had a private room, but now we have the new wing of the hospital(opened last spring) and everyone gets their own room now and they have a couch thing for DH to sleep on, so he can stay the whole time as well. Funny thing is though, I live about a 5 min walk to the hospital so he probably won't get anything ready to bring and just run home in the morning to shower/change. Such a guy, lol

 

[jmandrews]

We are naming our baby girl Everlee Rowe... our boy name was Cohen Lynn (Lynn is my husband's middle name)

I feel super unprepared... Although i do have a lot of clothes already... mainly Newborn size though. So i do need a lot more. We finally put up her crib last night so her nursery is coming together. I have my baby shower on sunday so I am hoping to get a lot of the necessities then! I am so excited! Had to share this pic of my dog Bentley hanging out in his baby sisters room. haha i think he is getting excited too.
