June Bundles of Joy - 2016

[vaniilla]

I hope everyone feels better soon, hopefully in a few weeks the nausea will be a thing of the past.

Pixie - I know what you mean, apart from parents/siblings I've told DH I don't feel confident telling anyone else yet. I hope the scan tomorrow gives you some confidence and goes really well


I bought a cotbed today I saw it for sale on a local parenting site and it's only £25, it's a nice oak mamas & papas one, so much for no more purchases till January but it's a secondhand bargain, that doesn't count right?

Hey everyone, haven't popped in for a few days, been really poorly with a horrid sickness bug. Really wiped me out. Time spent in bed has given me the time to feel the baby though, felt it between 8-9pm every day since Fri.
My gender scan is Saturday. I'm so excited, so are the kids. I can take them on this one.

My morning sickness has gone near enough and I can eat all my favourite foods again. I feel really lucky, but this happened with Madi and it came back at 26 weeks so I'll enjoy it while I can.

 

[vaniilla]

Karli - I hope you feel better soon. So exciting you'll know the gender this weekend! it'll be the first pink or blue bump of the group!

 

[Becyboo__x]

Mine comes and goes it's loads better then it was but the odd I'll feel sick and likly be sick but its a one off least it's now manageable

 

[karlilay]

I think I'm obviously the most impatient. Vanilla, I'v tried not to buy, but I have been given a gorgeous white nursery wardrobe, and a tommee tippee perfect prep machine. I cause a major debate on FB the other day because I posted some pictures of bedding sets and got jumped on about cot bumpers that I nearly ordered. I still want one though, but jeez people went mad about it!

 

[Tinky_82]

Hope you feel better soon Karilay. Excited to find out the colour of your bump.
My morning sickness has faded to just being a hint now with very little retching so that's good. I hate this bit though as until you feel regular movement it doesn't really feel like you're pregnant.

14 weeks today, officially 2nd tri

I'm telling my mum and dad on Friday. Wanted to tell them straight after we'd had our scan but my dad's been working abroad and I wanted to tell them together. I'm really nervous about telling them actually!

Then we're telling my extended family on Boxing Day, but I'm nervous about that too because I originally thought only a few people were going to the gathering but there's actually going to be loads of extended family and the thought of announcing to so many feels really cringey, I hate fuss and attention. Then we're not bothering with a FB announcement or anything like that. I'm enjoying it being our secret, I'm not really looking forward to everyone knowing lol

Yikes! people do love to get riled up! I know they're not recommended but technically nothing is if they were as bad as people make them out they would be banned!


I bought the bedding set on ebay when we were ttc a year or so ago as it came with matching toys, curtains and pictures (shock horror it comes with a bumper!)

 

[Boo44]

I popped to get checked out yesterday because of the brown and light pink discharge I had on wiping last week and on Sunday (tiny amounts but still...)
They checked inside and my cervix is completely fine and they did me a scan. Baby was so cute, moving its arms around and I could even see it opening and closing its mouth, so amazing! Only thing is, she mentioned off the cuff that my placenta is low but obv it's very early.
Me being me has got myself in a right tizz mainly because I've had previous sections. Everywhere I read says a placenta isn't low until it's low at 20 weeks and even then most will move. But because I've had my sections I think mine is less likely to move. So I'm terrified of placenta praevia now and feel all sad like I can't relax

Wish I could chill like others can x

 

[tinkerbelle93]

Boo. Is it needing another section that worries you? x

My son has decided not to sleep through at 3 years old, he woke 6 times last night! Then I overslept and didn't take my meds on time and have been vomming all morning. Ffs when does this get better?

 

[tinkerbelle93]

Angeloftroy That sounds rough, I hope the sickness eases for you soon. I can relate to the non-sleeping toddler, my son still has nights like that every now and then and I always think how babies are supposed to be the ones who give you broken sleep not three-year-olds!

Oh no, I'm really sorry to hear that. I hope you all get a good nights sleep tonight and hopefully tomorrow will be a better day.

I bought a beautiful handmade crib set last time I was pregnant and my son never slept a day in his crib.

 

[Becyboo__x]

I'm holding off a bit I'm a bit of a last minute person anyway but with DS I brought a Moses basket for him which he only fit in for a month I don't think I'll do that again I still have his and the stand which is there if I want it but likly going for something else baby can go in from new born and can stay in a bit longer I'm not really a person to get bedding etc again with ds wasn't worth it in the end we will see .. doesn't help the bedroom baby will go in eventually is blue (was like it when we moved last month) unless were having a boy may have to get it neutral

 

[tinkerbelle93]

I want to do a nursery up for baby before they arrive, we didn't have our own place when DS was born so all of his things were in our room with us. This time I want to do a proper bedroom with a theme and bedding and everything, even if it is a waste of money haha. So can't wait to get buying things, realistically I don't think we'll be buying until I'm around 5/6 months.

Is it too early to discuss prams? I love looking at pushchair, not sure what I'd like this time. I got through quite a few with DS!

 

[karlilay]

I spend my whole life obsessing over prams. I can't decide if I want a Bugaboo Cam or a Silvercross Wayfrarer, but I was actually looking at the new Quinny Buzz today in Smyths and love that too!

 

[Boo44]

Boo. Is it needing another section that worries you? x

No I think it's the possibility of having major bleeds throughout the pregnancy that has me worried I'm no good with the Unknown...

I got a bugaboo donkey when ds2 was born as ds1 was only 17 months. I'm so glad I did it's been amazing and now we just use it as the single. I think for this baby if all goes ok I will treat myself to a new cover for it as the one we have has faded in the sun. I'm quite pleased I don't need to buy a new buggy this time as I find it quite stressful choosing!

 

[Squig34]

Glad all was well with baby, Boo, & I hope your placenta moves up & spares you a lot of worry.

We won't be buying anything u til after 20 weeks at least.

I had my booking in scan & appointment today & all is well, baby still measuring a day ahead. I have a great monitoring plan; scan next week & then fortnightly until 20 week scan, unless I need to be moved to weekly. Next part of the plan will be decided at 20 week scan (9th Feb). Plus I'll be induced around 36 weeks if baby hasn't already arrived by then, so I'll probably have a May miracle instead of a June Dragonfly, but I hope you don't mind if I stay in this group based on my due date! Squiggle wouldn't really cooperate for pictures, so I don't have the cute profile of baby's face like most people get!

 

[Lil_Pixie]

We're not bothering with the bedding set this time. Last time we bought one but didn't use the bumper, he never bothered with the mobile and he couldn't use the quilt till he was one anyway so it was a massive waste.

We had a moss basket but Xander never really fit in it so I'll have to have a look around for something more suitable this time.

I'm trying not to think of all the things we'll need My sister just had her second and last baby in July though so I'll just try to buy most of what I need from her for super cheap she's got a much better job than me and has beautiful stuff that I couldn't afford anyway so it's all a win for me!

I do need a pram though :-/ I've got a buggy but my pram has seen better days.

I'm planning on breastfeeding but want to be more relaxed about it this time. Dh has promised to help with night times so I'm even going to get her baby tassimo so he can make bottles super easily (thr tommee tippee bottle maker thingie)
