June Bundles of Joy - 2016

[Boo44]

Everyone is convinced I'm on team blue again here. Xx

I'm no expert teeny but the nub on your scan pic looks more girly to me x

All family think blue. Funnily enough when I posted my scan in the gender prediction forum everyone said girl and there were no boy guesses at all!
Either the nub theory works or family intuition does!
It will be interesting to see. Xx

It's definitely one of the clearer ones to me! How old are your daughters and your son? Xx

 

[tinkerbelle93]

Welcome ehjmorris! I love your name choices although I'm biased as my son is Oliver sorry to hear of your loss

 

[Teeny Weeny]

Boo, eldest son is 13, my DS2 is 5 1/2 yrs and my DD is 3 1/2 yrs.
whatever the gender my daughter says it must be called catcat! Lol xx

 

[Starlight32]

Baby had an active night and active day . I love feeling baby move! Baby was quiet for a few days last week so this is a nice change.

 

[AngelofTroy]

I'm so impatient to feel regular movement. I get so excited when baby moves and then I feel nothing for days sometimes.

 

[Starlight32]

I'm the same way Angel! I get so excited just to feel baby move several times in one hour. I haven't felt baby in the past 30 mins or so, I guess baby changed positions or is sleeping. Who knows when I'll feel a good bit of movement again! Hopefully soon though lol

16 week midwife appointment tomorrow. I hope she is positive about my home birth suggestion haha. If not I suppose I'll Just tell her to get stuffed and change midwife haha. =) I read they don't do the heart beat at this appointment anymore so that's a bit rubbish. I haven't heard the heartbeat yet. I wonder when I will ?!

 

[SecondNote]

Sigh. This is a little long. Just looking to vent.

Well I got really upset with my husband yesterday and it made me cry. It's the same argument we had last time, when I was pregnant with DS. My husband thinks middle names are pointless. To me, they mean a lot and I think it's a good way to honor people. I always have loved my middle name and honestly I think I would have felt left out if I didn't have one. So anyway, last time after some arguments (and me crying) hubby agreed to using my late grandpa's name as my son's middle name. He is Eli Thomas. I thought after last time he would be more willing to discuss middle names, since they are so important to me. I brought it up again yesterday and he rolled his eyes at me and said something like 'middle names are pointless, they don't mean anything! I don't know why you are making a big deal about names. I don't think we should use a middle name.' Of course I started crying. I couldn't believe he was starting this again. I thought he would just agree to letting me pick a middle name again. Ugh. Anyway, he really is a great dad to our son and he is very agreeable with most stuff regarding baby, but I don't know why he is so against middle names. It's so frustrating to me.

 

[Squig34]

Welcome ehj lovely names & sorry to hear of the loss of your son. When was that?

SecondNote, sorry your husband is being frustrating over this. If it doesn't really matter to him but it does matter to you, then it seems like the obvious solution to use middle names! Especially since your first son has one.

Still no movement here. I hope it's soon.

Teeny - catcat

 

[mommyxofxone]

Me too about the movement. I feel rolling once a day but that's it.

Rhi can you ask to hear the hb? That sounds ridiculous honestly! What do they do then?

Secondnote I'm so sorry about your husband being a pain about the middle names. I so hope he comes around. If it means that much to you he should listen. It's not fair to tell you something important to you is pointless. He's lucky its not me. I'd find soemthing important to him and do the same thing. Sometimes that's all that gets through to my husband. It's like but why is it ok if its important to you?

Don't know of I mentioned at my appt they said my bp was on the low side. Anyone have experience with that?

 

[GeralynB]

I just felt baby moving a bunch while I was in the bathtub

 

[gaiagirl]

I still have only felt movement a few times and reallllllly faintly. Hoping for more soon.

I think we have decided to find out the sex after all...

 

[Teeny Weeny]

Rhi, the MW listened to the baby at my appointment last week. I didn't ask, but she did mention that it can take a while to find. Xx

Mommy, I have really low blood pressure too. I was advised to drink more. Mine is always low, even at 40+ weeks.

Still not felt baby move here. xx

 

[Teeny Weeny]

Secondnote, surely if DS has one all the more reason for new bubba to have one? Xx

 

[Boo44]

Ugh my ms is really kicking my butt again the last few days, I've felt like I did at 8 weeks! Really nauseated and completely exhausted again It has now lasted soooo much longer than it did with my other two pregnancies, not sure why that is!

 

[AngelofTroy]

Sorry your sickness is worse again Boo I've worked overnight and the family cooked roast garlic and steaks last night my major aversions are garlic and red meat... they haven't washed up and the scraps are all piled up in the kitchen where I have to prepare food and meds... The whole house stinks and I've thrown up trying to work in the kitchen. This is hell!

 

[Becyboo__x]

I have more regular movement now seems to be forming a pattern

So tired again recently I need to start sleeping earlier at night I think I just can't hack it and my son started not going to sleep he goes for 7-7.30 but stays up for a bit well is in bed reading books etc which we've always done but he's been full of life staying up later then me obviously means he dont want to get up in a morning for school he fell asleep earlier last night but was still like a zombie this morning

 

[Starlight32]

Mommyx, what was your bp?

I felt definite movement in the bed before getting up today. I think that was the first definite movement I felt in the morning!

 

[vaniilla]

Secondnote - I agree that if your other lo has one then it wouldn't be fair on baby not to have one, my parents never did middle names with us (mainly because my dad is against them ) and I've always hated being the odd one out, had my older sister been given one I would be very upset.

boo - I'm sorry you're having problems with sickness again, I hope it goes away soon.

Angel - oh no, remind your oh next time to clear it all away - I wouldn't go in the kitchen at all if it really smelled of meat/chicken, just the thought of it makes me feel ill.

My maternity budget has now been spent £150 on maternity clothes with 90% of it being Next sale items

I only feel movements very sporadically every couple of days or so, I can't wait until it becomes more regular.

I keep waiting for the post every day hoping my anatomy scan comes through, I want a date to look forward to!


Weird dreams anyone? I had a dream I was drunk and had 2 husbands last night.

 

[Dory85]

I am feeling regular daily movement now, down close to my knicker line. It's easy to miss if I'm busy though. I notice it most when I'm sitting down or lying in bed.
I love it most when I'm having an awful time at work where a patient's relative is going on about something trivial. It's like my little secret distraction.
