Hi, were back and we are having another little boy
I thought so all along!

Here's my little man!


He was being quite awkward to start with, had his feet up by his head, all curled up. Everything looked perfect though and he measured exactly on my dates!

Super awesome! Hey little man! Cute photo xx

Congrats to all concerned on all the new pink and blue bumps! Frustrating that the sonographer couldn't determine ours for certain, still umming and ahhing about whether to get a private scan but it seems like a lot of expense for something we'll find out for sure eventually anyway.

The tally now stands at 16 - 11 and I've updated the temp list.

 

[sue_88]

Come on little girls - we are dragging behind!!

 

[Miss Bellum]

wow seems like a lot has happened on here with everyone's appointments.
I will most likely be not on here all week since im in my last week of my bachelors and am doing my finals all week. study study study and BnB is such a distraction. so i will be back after Monday. hope everyone has a great week and i will try and catch up in a week.
speaking of nesting i cant wait to be done with school so i can focus on my nesting. lol. never wanted to clean and organize so much before. lol.

Good luck with your studies, hope you do really well in your finals

Hi ladies,
Meet our little bean... checking out his/her toes.
He or she will be declared pink or blue on Wednesday. I'm guessing BOY because the tech said the gender was really clear... hmm...

Cute pic x

how lovely! That is a cute photo! We are madly phoning up quotes for new car tyres...I finally booked the car in for Tomorrow after playgroup. The guy on phone said it would take an hour and a half...I hope he is right as I don't want to hang about any longer than that with a toddler. I really hope she falls asleep in the car on the way there and just sleeps through the whole debacle. That would be super!
Then in the afternoon I have scheduled a house viewing - I really hope we find a suitable place soon then I will be like you other ladies and nesting like crazy and organizing nursery decor etc. I have washed and folded a heap of baby clothes already but that's about it. We have a couple of places we want to look at...they are further out the burbs than where we are now but we can't get anything nice for the price we pay here so we have had to look further away.

Good luck with the house hunting. It seems its tough everywhere trying to find a decent location at a reasonable price.

Been having a bit of a catch up as haven't been on for a while, lots of lovely scan pictures!!

We had our scan yesterday and are now team and due on the 11th July. Knowing there's a little lady in there is finally making the fact that I'm pregnant sink in!!

Congratulations on your little girl x x

dont know whether to be excited or worried!!! got our scan in 2 hours,

Hoping we will find out pink or blue.

Good luck for your scan, hope everything is perfect x x

Had my doctors appt yesterday and everything went good. I gained alot like I thought but midwife was okay with it since I lost weight in the beginning. She said as long as I don't make a habit of gaining that much I am now up 6lbs from pre pregnancy weight. Measuring at 22 weeks which is right on track for where out baby girl was measuring at her ultrasound as she's measuring a week larger too. Guess we will see if she stays a week ahead or if she levels out. Although according to my last period she measuring right on track as my due date got moved a week back from my lmp due date. It'll be interesting to see when she decides to come

Good to hear everything went well at your doctors appointment.

As for weight gain, at my last appointment I was shocked to find out I'd put on 10lbs in a month (the previous month it was only 3)...putting me at 30lbs above pre-pregnancy weight!!! OH was surprised as he couldn't tell I'd put on that much- just that my belly and breasts are getting big. I told my doc I was concerned to have gained so much already, so she is referring me to a nutritionist and OH and I are joining a gym this week. I've not been doing a good job of my goal to take regular walks- my excuse keeps being that it is so cold outside, but I just need to bundle up and go for a walk. Now that we're joining a gym, I won't have any excuses.

It is tough trying to get the motivation to exercise, especially when its so cold. I think the key is finding something you enjoy, so hope you have fun at the gym.

I try to go swimming a few times a week, but I am finding it hard to get into a routine at the moment.

Feeling LO lots this morning. Far too feint to feel on the outside but definitely there. Now that it's after my scan, I can imagine exactly what he/she is doing. So comforting and wonderful

Aww, it must be great to feel LO moving around so much. I still cant really feel anything at the moment, so it was reassuring when the scan showed LO is bouncing all over the place.

My husband came home Friday, its been a wonderful but busy weekend and im exhausted. We shopped presidents day sales yesterday and managed to get us a washer & dryer, bed, and sectional couch. Just gotta wait til delivery. We also bought baby girl all the diaper covers she'll need til she fits into the one size cloth. Thinking about making prefolds this time around as I have a bunch of cotton fabric already! Im also getting ready to cut my hair off, im very excited! I hate having long hair and my husband is finally sick of it too so im going back to a pixie cut!! Scheduling an appt today!

Congrats on your bargains! Hope you are happy with your new hair cut I sometimes think I'd like to go for a really short cut, but always chicken out in the end.

Aw another little boy! Charlie is one of the names we are thinking about too! I had a difficult boy too, I had to keep rolling over and jumping about but we got there in the end.

Congratulations!

congrats everyone that newly found out gender!!!

afm- as you all know ive been having issues at work (girl with heater, manager that doesn't understand anything, etc.) i feel like i get myself worked up every day before work because i hate being there so much and thats why i end up getting sick. last week i started applying for new jobs closer to home(i have almost an hour commute both ways) with slightly fewer hours (im supposed to work 40 hours a week but really work 50 hours a week). someone called me back today for a position that i would love the job sounds like something perfect for me its 30 hours a week and much closer to home so i would most likely save on gas in the difference. i have an interview on friday for this position. they seemed impressed with me during my phone interview and asked me to come friday for a few more questions and to show me around to see if i'd be interested. i'm concerned because im starting to show. i found a pair of black pants that fit me but every shirt that i could wear with those pants show my bump. i don't want to tell them i'm pregnant and not get the job but if i get hired when do i tell them that i am pregnant?

has anyone had job interviews during pregnancy??

 

[maratobe]

congratulations to all those who have found out their genders boys do seem to be in front!

we had our specialist appointment today and my diabetes is finally under control now i have to maintain it!
im dealing with a grumpy daughter lately... 16 months going on 16 with attitude and tantrums

 

[Anon Male]

tlh - Sorry to hear the issues with work are driving you to look elsewhere, especially at this time.

In the UK I believe it's standard that you have to let your employer know by the 15th week before delivery in order to be eligible for maternity pay. So for a British mum-to-be, going for interviews at 20-21 weeks would normally be out of the question. I don't know if there are any similar considerations in Missouri, though.

17 : 12 now

 

[tlh97990]

in the U.S. we don't necessarily get maternity pay. My leave would be unpaid. as far as i know there is no law saying when i have to tell an employer i'm just wondering more ethically. they cannot discriminate due to pregnancy but we all know they can always find another excuse that's why its usually better not to tell. with my last pregnancy i went on an interview at 14 weeks so i wasn't showing yet and was able to wait until after i was hired and going through orientation to tell the manager. this time i'll be almost 19 weeks with a bump. im hoping they just think im fat

 

[oneandtwo]

I had a job interview when I was 6 wks with my second son. I was upfront about the pregnancy and they still hired me. I knew I'd have complications though and really didnt want to take up space for them or take the kob away from someone else if they weren't willing to take on the accomodations.

Sadly, even though they said they would help with my limitations, when it came for my duties needing to be lightened, they refused. (giving me the obese/immobile residents, laundry duty etc.) I couldn't physically do that once I started contracting. they wouldn't stop assigning the jobs, so I quit.

My employer just hired 10 people & one lady is six months pregnant. They do not discriminate. My other coworker was also preggo when she was hired 9 years ago and she was 7 months pregnant at that time. They all informed our director right from the start. Oh & another coworker was 2 months. Everything was fine. Thank God i have a great employer. I hope everything works out for you!

 

[Sw33tp3a]

TLH-good luck on getting a job and hopefully they will accommodate.
when i was pregnant with my son there was a total of 5 of us that were pregnant. so when one was coming off of maternity leave one was going on it. everyone said it was in the water.

Im getting major kicks right now like she is stomping towards the vaginal area. like trying to kick a door open. it stops me in my tracks. i have to grab myself to make sure she isnt coming out..lol

 

[alicecooper]

hello ladies.

I can't seem to keep up with this thread lately lol.

Congrats to everybody who has found out genders x

I have absolutely nothing to report. Nothing at all lol.

 

[Pink Flowers]

Hi ladies, sorry I haven't kept up with everything. Haven't been on here since Saturday.

My Grandad passed away on Sunday

 

[Libbysmum]

Pink so sorry to hear of your Grandfather passing I recently lost my grandmother. She was in her 90's so lived a good life. It was still very sad especially for my mum she is pretty emotional even now talking about her.
Am not sure who asked about hiccups but with DD she had them constantly...I felt so sorry for her. I really couldn't do anything to help her. It sometimes would last a real long time too. She still gets them badly even now she is 19mths old. But she is a good eater and doesn't fuss about what I give her and I don't think it has had any negative effects.
Congrats ladies on finding out the genders and that the babies are doing great...totally love the name Charlie...we considered that name but I think DH veto'ed against it because of someone weird he once knew with the name.
As far as kicks go...yup I get whopped in the cervix area all the time by my little man...not sure if it is an elbow...knee...butt or what but it does make you wonder if he is trying to escape early!
So we got new tyres...YAY...expensive but worth it for safe driving. My mother came to the rescue so DD could nap at home in her cot. I had the worst heartburn yesterday and this morning it was so embarrassing as I had to litterally RUN from the kitchen to the toilet cause I had the runs so badly and didn't quite get there in time so had to get DH to find me some clean undies... I am thinking it was all the Mylanta I had the night before? Never quite had it so bad that I couldn't make it to the toilet...never had the laxative effect from Mylanta either. The only other thing I can think of is that there was something bad with the pizza we ate for dinner.
As far as the houses go...still looking. The house we saw today was nice but small and only the one room with Built in robes. A very tiny kitchen and laundry but on the plus side it did have a nice neighbourhood....hard to picture myself with a busy toddler and a new born in a place not big enough to swing a cat - although it did have a massive front yard.

Hi ladies, sorry I haven't kept up with everything. Haven't been on here since Saturday.

My Grandad passed away on Sunday

I'm so sorry...my grandma passed away right before Christmas, it is so hard to lose a family member. We hadn't announced the pregnancy at that point either so I felt guilty that I wasn't able to tell her. My due date is her birthday though, which is really nice. I hope you are doing well, I will be praying for you and your family
