June Bundles of Joy - 2016

Teeny weeny so glad your scan went well - beautiful pic!

Vanilla excellent results - I don't really know anything about downs screening - do they just tell you low or high?

We told Xander about the baby last night and it was perfect he kept asking is there a baby in there? Right now?? And patting my tummy. Then he bent down and whispered into my tummy "hello baby, my names Xander and I'm your big brother"

Then he opened my mouth and started yelling into it (in case the baby could hear better that way ) and things got a little weird

He thinks the baby will probably be a little girl, and they'll be best friends as long as the baby doesn't break his fireman sam truck

Midwife today .. what a mess that was it's basically stupid where I have to go its not nearby and I got lost no bus came so I had to walk 30-40 minutes I was exhausted by the time I got there and late they was ok about it and more concerned about me being tired. Any more appointmen ts are being moved to a local place thank god! .. next isn't until 28 weeks so not for ages ..

Heard heartbeat they offered and told me not to be too alarmed if can't be found .. which they couldn't to begin with but the main midwife tried and found it lower down everything else good too iron levels,wee and blood pressure. I forgot to ask if they could tell me the heart rate not sure if they can Low risk for downs as well.

Now its the wait til my 20 week scan just another 4 weeks

Lovely pic teeny! I'm pleased everything went well.

I had that pillow when i was pregnant with dd. I didn't get on with it all that well because I tossed and turned so much during the night which was annoying because o had to move the pillow to the other side each time. I was still tossing and turning after she was born so turned out we needed a new mattress. Saying that if i need one i will probably get it again, got it last time for 9.99 in the sale.

Teeny weeny- great scan picture and I changed your date

Pixie- that is so cute! Kids are so funny

 

[Squig34]

Lovely pic Teeny!

Pixie that's so cute & funny I'm having to wait til Feb with you, my anomaly scan isn't until 9th Feb, I'll be 20+5.

Vaniilla sorry they were so unhelpful. Worth at least asking your GP about physio?

Miracle, how exciting to feel movement!

Second tri today! Hopefully the nausea will now pack its bags...

I just had my 15 week appointment with such a lovely midwife! She was covering for my usual midwife who is off sick. I mentioned it is a long wait now until 28 weeks and she made me an extra 25 week appointment and fitted it around my son's nursery times so he'll be able to come along and hear the heartbeat!

 

[vaniilla]

Lil_Pixie - it had the number risk and the category of low risk too. That's so cute when you told ds about the baby! that's so cute that he's talking to your tummy

becy- sounds like a chaotic day! thankfully you were still able to see the midwife and next time won't have to go all that way! Some of the dopplers they use show the heart rate so it's worth asking next time.

Joo - that makes me think I should buy two to make it easier with rolling over waking dh up in the night is close to impossible so I would be getting no help with turning it.

squig - I'm with you on that one! I hope the nausea packs it in for you.

AngelofTroy - I'm glad you saw a lovely midwife, it's always a relief seeing someone nice.


I ordered myself a mama pack as I didn't get one with ds and I'm feeling a bit ill remembering that DH had to argue with the bounty rep when lo was born, the woman wouldn't bloody leave! I dread having to face the same again

 

[mommyxofxone]

teeny! we're duedate buddies now!

 

[Teeny Weeny]

We are! But all my babies have been late so you'll probably have your beautiful baby before me anyway! ;-) xx

We might be going for a gender scan Tuesday I pestered OH he wants to go anyway but it's awkward around Christmas time and his shifts .. we could Saturday but OH has his son so think that's a no next one is Tuesday I just hope he has a short shift not long or we can't go .
I'm apprehensive tbh I want to know so much what were having but again I'm nervous

 

[SecondNote]

I want to do a gender scan before Christmas so bad! But the place I found starts gender scans at 15 weeks. I will only be 14.5 by Christmas Day.

 

[Starlight32]

Yay for the ladies who got great NT results

We heard baby's heart beat again today! I feel like I'm now entering limbo land because I don't have another appointment for another four weeks. I have my anatomy scan a few days before, but it's still about four weeks away.

 

[GeralynB]

I bought a big box that I'm going to wrap and bought both pink and blue balloons so once we find out the gender on Wednesday I will put the correct color in and open the gift on Christmas in front of our family to announce

 

[Tinky_82]

I love that idea Geralyn. I was thinking of doing something like that for my mums birthday as we'll have had our scan the day before (Jan 29 so ages away though)

 

[Starlight32]

Cute idea Geralyn!

That's so exciting! I hope it turns out to be a short shift so you're able to go!

That's such a cute way of announcing it!

 

[gaiagirl]

That's exciting Geralyn! Can't wait to hear about it.

 

[Starlight32]

Is anyone else planning on doing a cute gender announcement if they find out?

 

[GeralynB]

I've been obsessed with eating salad lately. It's all I want to eat. I guess that makes up for all the McDonalds french fries I ate in the first few weeks

 

[Starlight32]

I've been craving salads too!
