June Bundles of Joy - 2016

[Boo44]

If by 'people being mad' you mean me, then you've completely misunderstood me. I was merely pointing out how everyone was saying stuff like hope the pink doesn't get used up or hope they hear girl, and that as the only boy confirmed I was feeling like nobody else actually wanted to be blue. Far from being mad, I don't actually know anyone here and everyone is obviously entitled to say what they want! I probably would have chosen pink if I had a choice purely as I have two boys, but that's life!
And far from needing reminding that everyone just wants a healthy baby - I'm the only one (thankfully) who has been told their baby has a congenital problem, so I hardly need that pointing out to me!!!!

Not meaning anyone in particular honestly. Everyone around everywhere lately (even on forums and home life) seems to be really hung up on this one being a boy. And I know it'll be treated better by in-laws if its a boy that makes my heart hurt for dd. I know she will be treated different. She already isnt a top favorite becasue she has her own personality and doesn't follow in step with the other girls but if I have a boy? Good lord forget it. So I guess I'm just slightly stressed over what she'd go through if that makes sense?

To me my baby is my baby. Loved deeply no matter what. I just can't wait to have it. But I worry how others will treat her. Does that make sense?

Sorry. Having a hard time even wrapping my head around what's bothering me. But I think it's just that. Because I know I'm going to be thrilled with either.

But it would e easier on all of us if its another girl.

But I feel pretty confident its a boy

My cousin gave us 5 huge bags of baby girl clothes. So happy because it'll save us so much money. I have so many boy clothes. Some stuff still has tags on it. Two of my friends are pregnant so hopefully one of them will have a boy so I can give them clothes

I've been so sensitive to smells too even with how stuffy my nose has been!

I didn't feel baby as much tonight moving but I saw her as a lump in my stomach. Has this ever happened to anyone?? It was a bit strange to see and feel part of her as a lump in my belly!

Pixie - you summed up my feelings on this

I'm so envious of everyone having scans! I hate the wait, I want to start buying newborn fluff(cloth nappies) and I can't bring myself to until I see baby is okay.

I'm tempted to call the hospital and see for when they've booked it does that sound nuts?

edit : just called them , they said I'm penned in for the 9th of February,ageeees away!

That is three of us having scans on the 9th, i just want to see the baby again

 

[ehjmorris]

I agree, at the moment i am just excited to see what the baby is, i dont care which sex it will be as long as its healthy and survives

Everyone is different and that is okay

Geralyn it's amazing to have such generous friends and family isn't it! When we had Xander one of my sisters had just had her 4th (her first boy - she was one of those who was planning to keep going till she got her boy ) she gave us pretty much everything we would need clothes wise for the first few months.

This time if we have a girl my eldest sister has lots of girl clothes that she's saved from her 3 year old, and if we have a boy we'll have a constant stream of clothes from her 6 month old. He'll be 11m older than baby so everything will be in the right seasons etc too.

She obviously knew about the mcs and thr drug trial etc, the rest of my family are crazy fertile and we've spent 9 years working on having 2 kids( its a bit of a kick when i'm the youngest, we started ttc when j was 21 and im 30 now, my eldest sister had her youngest last year at 37 after ttc 1 month and her dh is 60! How i ended up the infertile one is seriously the universe being a massive joker) She's kept literally everything from Leo for us, I think it was her way of rooting for us!

If we have a girl we are set because I obviously still have all clothes from DD and her two cousins are A few months older so we sometimes get bits handed down from them. OH is the youngest of his siblings and we are the last to have children so with DD we were given a crib and other stuff so we've been incredibly lucky. If we have a boy we'll have to pretty much start from scratch with clothes bigger than 0-3m because the boys in our family are now 9 and 16 so all their stuff is long gone! But considering we have everything else we need we're still pretty much sorted

I am an auntie again.
My SIL had her gorgeous little boy Harry today. I can't wait for baby cuddles!
He is her first, and by all accounts she had a quick and easy labour. It gets me all excited for June. Xx

 

[MiraclesHappn]

As far as clothes go I have everything because this little lady is due right before her sisters birthday so all our clothes will hopefully fit during each season. I will buy her some new clothes for each size so she isn't only in hammy downs but that's about it. I've got a longer list than I had thought of things to buy this time around but nothing is really expensive and not near what I would have to get if we'd had a boy. I'm hoping by next summer I know someone having a girl so I can start giving our stuff away. I've had a couple ladies I know through work give me tons of stuff or sell it super cheap so I'd love to help someone out like that as well.

 

[MiraclesHappn]

Oh yeah and I'm half way already today! This is just absolutely flying by for me!

 

[ehjmorris]

Yay half way already, congrats miracles ive got 3w6 days till im half way lol seems like ages but its actually going quick especially when i have appointments coming up in the next few weeks

Congratulations xx there's nothing better! Harry is a lovely name, I think this little man will have Harry as his middle name. OH and I are going on a date night tonight and my plan is to discuss names

 

[mommyxofxone]

i am screwed either way with clothes! i tossed a ton of baby clothes.

my sil gave me clothes once for dd when she was very little. Turned out she also sent us fleas that free box of clothes wound up costing me over $100 for flea products for the cat.

 

[Teeny Weeny]

Thanks Boo. I'm super excited to meet him. Enjoy your date night with Hubby. Xx
I love the name Harry. If I was having a boy I think we would have used the name Arthur in his name somewhere.
Boys names are seriously hard. My two are Chance and Riley. Xx

So funny you should say that because the front runner at the moment is Arthur Harry!

Arthur Harry. Very royal!! Made me think of Henry viii and his brother Arthur =)

I love Henry/Harry but my mil called her dog Harry and that's too close to comfort for me. Seeing as lots of people "nickname" Henry into Harry. Stupid dog !

My dad is Harry and I'd really like to use his name this time - I can't use Harry as a first name as Jack has 3 friends called Harry alone so we already have 'big Harry and little harry' etc! I do like Henry so that's a possibility for his first name, but what I like about Arthur is how it matches his brothers and how I could call him Artie Bummer about the dog thing, dogs use up so many good names!

 

[Rhi_Rhi1]

Nawww I do Like it! Artie it's so cute =)
I think it's great being able to include family names in the middle etc so long as your family have nice names like Harry. I used some up already. Grandads names etc so it would be my husband's turn to pick one now. Unfortunately his family are German. Which means Names like Rudolph would be a contender


I like the ultimate dog name; Max. Haha.
