Hey guys,
Jen – How are you feeling hunny?
MrsPhez – Hi there! Congratulations on your little rainbow baby, I’m so happy for you! I love how you say it’s great that you’re feeling tried, I know what you mean but phewf, I’m hoping I never have to got through that exhaustion ever again in my whole life! Wishing you all the best for your sticky rainbow! X x
Stef – Yes, I totally think for the first baby you should do a nursery! It sounds lovely and I do remember Eva was in her own room at around 7 months! The fact that it can transcribe to a toddler room too is very sensible indeed, I’m intending on doing that this time so rather than buying proper nursery furniture I’m just going to buy a really nice second hand chest of dawers that we can carry on using afterwards, a rail and a cotbed but I might have the two kids in bunk beds so I may just get a cot! We shall have to see where we end up living! Yayyy for new hair and feeling and seeing the baby move! That woman does sound so annoying! I’m sat with a girl that has a weird thing about people eating, she’s forver moaning and giving people filthy looks so I feel I cant eat at my desk which is very annoying as I’m starving all of the time! As she’s pregnant too though, she has to eat and she makes such a meal out of trying to be quiet as a mouse when eating a bag of crisps! Weirdo! Those ants sound bloody awful Stef! Did you manage to get rid of the little buggars?
I love the prints that you have designed, they look really professional and it’s lovely that you know the gender and name, I can’t wait till we do too! I’m thinking we’re having a boy still. It would be a whole lot easier to have a girl, as I love the name Romy, (Shane is now doubting our choice of Cassius, grrrrr) we have a lot of girls clothes and other girly stuff and we could get a 2 bedroom house, Eva would get a sister but I’d also absolutely love a son! Currently calling the baby Conrad for a joke, poor thing! Oh, here is the link to my pinterest ‘Bambino’ board. https://pinterest.com/jasmineivy/bambino/
Vegas, I’m so glad your appointment went well, I never know how many weeks you are as I have a memory like a sieve and you don’t have a ticker! Oooh, exciting news about knowing the date, Eva’s birthday is the day after that, the 10th December! It is a little close to Christmas but I guess you couldn’t get it much earlier! I went into labour on the 9th and that’s my MIL’s birthday so we all thought Eva would be born the 9th too! How are you feeling now the sickness has gone, do you have the monster appetite? You made me chickle with your blonde Kardashian comment and I absolutely LOVE the name Gus, I’d like to use it myself, it would be good as a nickname for Cassius I though too! Annoying that we cant use the names we love! Could you use just ‘Gus’ on it’s own though? As for peeing, omg, it’s getting absurd for me, I’m getting fed up with it too, it’s like a full time job, so glad I’m not the only one!
Meli – are we friends on pinterest? I’m liking the sound of this chicken and avocado dish, I love avacado! Oh noo, that’s so annoying about your name choice, why do the DHs have to be such pains when it comes to naming! I know what you mean about the superhero thing though, as it took me a while to get DH to come around to Cassius, he eventually did because he likes the nickname Cas, cos apparently there is a football hooligan called Cas! Now though, he is against the name because my best friend’s sisters kid is called it and he thinks its too distinctive to have more than one, I kind of know what he means though but its annoying cos I do think we’re having a boy and we don’t agree on any names! I love your choice of Xander too! I love Xaviour but DH won’t go for that either! So glad you had fun on your little break and well done you for telling that idiot where to go! I would have been proud of myself too as I find confrontation hard but it is definitely needed sometimes!
Angel – So glad you had a fab time at the beach and what you said about Carter really resonated with me! Eva is exactly the same and I constantly feel so sad when kids don’t respond to her in the same way. She tries to hold hands with perfect strangers and play with them! She always wants to be friends with everyone, it’s cute but it makes me feel guilty as I’m a bit of a loner (by choice) we don’t have family nearby so she’s not able to play with her cousins etc. That’s one of the main reasons I’m so happy we’re having another kid so she has some company! How did the pictures and telling Carter go? I love your girl names btw, my favourite is Kinsley I think but I also like Harper a lot! Good luck with the potty training, stickers are the way forward, I have just ordered a load for Eva as we’re struggling with bedtime, mainly her going to bed without us sat on the landing, she seems to have anxiety about being left even for a minute! I’m going to work really hard at it this week, I’m praying the stickers will help!
AFM – I’m feeling so much better these days, which I’m so happy about! I have nearly all of my energy back again which is great! I’m able to make stuff again now, so I’m knitting my rainbow baby blanket. Knitting myself a scarf and I have plans for a fully jointed mohair monkey for the baby and hopefully a handmade cot mobile with felt woodland animals! We went into York at the weekend, we wanted to check out a particular suburb, we really liked it! The property is really affordable there, it has some rough areas though which you need to avoid but one thing I didn’t like was the park was so full of litter the worst Ive ever seen and some of the people seemed a bit rough and a few rowdy lads, without sounded snobby! The area itself though, the town, the houses were lovely so I don’t think the park should put me off, what do you guys think? We have decided to move after Christmas now, I want to move sooner but we won’t be able to afford it sadly. It will be hard moving with a small baby but as long as we’re out by March when we have to officially choose Eva’s school for September 2014, I’m happy!
I have my gender scan a week today, it’s first thing in the morning so I don’t have to wait too long (and neither do you!) which is great! I have been feeling lots of movement too and can see it on the outside now and again, DH also got to feel a big kick last night, yeeeyyyyy! I have bought a few things, totally overspent and dipped into the moving savings which is very naughty but we got a moby wrap, a peanut shell sling, a travel sterilizer, a changing bag so pretty good and Eva got new shoes, 2 new pairs of trainers, some sandals, a new coat and a new dressing gown, some of it was second hand though so we’re not too bad!
Have a great week then ladies, hopefully I’ll update sooner than my scan next week but if not I’ll definitely update as soon as I know the gender, I won’t keep you waiting! Lots of love x x x x

Hoping this time we are both happy with our move. As for the park, maybe you can choose an area on the outskirts and maybe be able to go to a park in a neighboring suburb? I think our pictures yesterday will turn out good. I can't wait to see them. We aren't telling Cart until we get the pics back to announce to everyone. Still dreading it
That woman at work sounds awful! Like Vegas said, I would eat anyway! Sounds like she needs to get over herself!
When are you going to post a bump pic? In February I bought a couple of cute girl dresses, but returned them 2 mos later. I was so proud of myself! I was cleaning and wanted to stop hoarding stuff lol. How quickly I forgot that resolution. I still have a couple of little girl gold bangle bracelets I bought around the same time. I have to remember that I have them so I can gift them so they dont go to waste because I KNOW I am having a boy 
WHEN will they be ready??
But at least we know we are extreme and don't expect people to not eat. Dh is also a compulsive gum smacker and I HATE IT!!! As for me not being social, it is very hard for me to make friends, but once I do, I consider myself a very good friend and very loyal. I also get very chatty and tend to over-share once I feel comfortable. And no, you don't sound like a whiny brat, I feel like on waiting for them! It takes about two weeks for her to edit them and send us all the print rights. So I think it will still be another week and a half
I plan to make a mobile out of yarn (using this idea https://www.makeandtakes.com/glue-yarn-ball-tutorial ) and making tissue paper pom flowers ( https://www.designdazzle.com/2012/04/how-to-make-tissue-pom-flowers/ ) as well as the prints. Plan to find a used or inexpensive dresser to possibly refinish and use for storage / changing table.
