June Bundles of Joy - 2016

[Boo44]

I haven't bought a single thing! I keep putting things in my checkout basket online and then chickening out at the last minute. It seems so early to me to buy things! I keep thinking after the next scan I might buy something

 

[Squig34]

I think I might need to pop into Cath Kidston again...

Yay for lots of movement Pixie!

1 week & 6 days still until my anatomy scan. Time is still crawling! I don't think it will still be a secret at work by then, I'm getting fatter by the day! I hope it's at least partly due to baby & not just that I'm eating so much - it seems to be where my stomach is that's growing! Is it too early for internal organs to be starting to get a bit squashed?

Looking forward to hearing your result on Saturday ehj

 

[Tinky_82]

I haven't bought anything yet either but will start if everything ok at scan.
Squig organ crushing can definitely be starting -when this one has what I'm assuming is a growth spurt I have a few days of feeling like my lungs are being squished until my body adjusts.
2 days until our scan - nervous but very excited.

Sat cant come quick enough lol

I'm not dtd either I have zero sex drive after months of feeling sick and tired and now just feeling gross.

I haven't bought anything yet. I had a few hours to myself this aft so thought I'd crack on with going through DD's baby clothes to see what I could re-use. My plan is to keep my absolute favourite outfits and sell the rest to fund new clothes. Couldn't do it. Cried the whole time 😂 what am I going to do?? I can't part with it! Going to have to be ruthless and get OH get rid of it all!

 

[Starlight32]

Thanks for all the middle name suggestions! I thought I liked Hannah May but after reading other Hannah middle name posts, someone pointed out that it sounds like anime. That turned me off from it lol. My husband is not suggesting much for the middle name. He likes Alexandra (from his family), but I think it's too long for my tastes.

Boo, I change my underwear a lot when home because I have a lot of discharge some days. We have not dtd since I got pregnant. I'm too paranoid.

 

[Dory85]

Uk ladies - aldi baby event starts today. We got rid of most of our baby stuff after Aaron when they diagnosed DH's tumour so we plan on getting the cheap monitor, muslins etc.

Does anyone else have really sicky babies? I remember feeling like the only one who got through 5 or 6 muslins a day. My milk is very plentiful when it comes in!

 

[Tinky_82]

Dory mine was quite a bit until I cut out whole milk and cream from my diet (skimmed was ok) I think the cream must have affected my milk or something and made it too rich for him.

DTD once a week or just over here (only started from around 9 weeks though) and it's not a long drawn out affair

So exciting with all the scans coming up!

We have baby clothes which we kept from DS at my parent's place since we have 0 storage so when we next visit in two weeks time I'll make a note of what we already have.



Anyone else have a weird ultrasound dept? I had to change my appointment from 9 am to 4pm and I don't understand - for the 12 week scan you get either an evening app (after 5pm) or a weekend slot so it's easier for partners, for the 20 week scan this doesn't apply even though it's done by the same people in the same place


Tink - how exciting! two days will be here in no time!

 

[karlilay]

I dont know how you all resist the urge to buy. I have a wardrobe full of clothes, a pushchair, changing bag, perfect prep, towells, dummies, nappies. Every time i go anywhere i end up with something

I feel better reading lots of you are having discharge too. I have it, but i was embarrased because it thought it was pee, its really watery.

Starlight, how about Hannah Rae

 

[Rhi_Rhi1]

I haven't purchased much yet. Still waiting for the first payday since Christmas haha. Which is Bad enough but we also had our car mot this month.January is so damn long and of course the gender scan was 80 quid haha. Nightmare month. Cannot wait for pay day. Although it's all accounted for haha. Eyeing up buggys though constantly

 

[vaniilla]

Karli - that all looks so cute! I love the cute moses basket too

 

[Starlight32]

My husband is now saying either Hannah Alexa (I vetoed Alexandra, it's just too long for my tastes) or Hannah Marie.

 

[karlilay]

Both cute, and sound nice with Hannah, i think Hannah Marie sounds really sweet.

 

[Dory85]

Think we have decided on the name Georgia. I like Georgie too but already know one. Middle name we are currently leaning towards Alice, which I toyed with when naming Sophie, but nothing is set.

 

[Lil_Pixie]

I still just don't feel confident enough to buy things yet really. I still can't believe there's going to be a baby I thought the vbac workshop would make it feel real but it didn't. I'm hoping after the 20 week scan if everything is fine I'll relax and start buying

Although we've just budgeted all our spare cash into savings to buy our house so we're stretched pretty thin right now. We don't need much though since my big sister is giving us almost everything.

Dory Xander was never sick. I bought muslin because all the lists said I would need them but I never figured out what they were for I think I only used bibs for a few weeks, once my supply settled and I stopped squirting him in the face I gave up on them.

Georgia is a lovely name. It's dhs first choice for a girls name, I really like it but I'm not sure I'm sold on it for us. I've decided to just stop thinking about names until we know the gender

 

[tinkerbelle93]

I've not bought anything yet! I'm kind of putting it off because I'll end up stressing about the money. We've just moved house which cost a fortune with all the legal fees etc then on top of that a fair bit needs doing to it and there's still a few big essential furniture bits and curtains etc that we need to get. I'm sure we'll be fine but I need to get that all out the way before I start thinking about baby things, can't wait to start shopping though.

Ohhhh! Love all the stuff


I have 1 week and 6 days to find out the sex of baby and anatomy scan. I can't wait, but nervous also, just hope everything is ok!! And yes on heb moist here, wearing panty liners daily, I never feel "fresh"!

 

[mommyxofxone]

Mine is on sat, so watch this thread for another reveal

so excited for you hun!!! I can't wait to hear!

We're dtd about once a week atm. I'm not really in the mood but dh knows that so I get a full massage every time worth it!

My anomaly scan is a week on Monday. Still feels like a lifetime!

Definitely no doubt about today's movements. I must have felt baby at least 15 times. This evening we had a new bed delivered for Xander so u was sat cross legged on the floor building it with dh and baby was going mental. The kicks were really really strong

Went to a vbac workshop at the hospital tonight. 40 mins of my life I won't get back I was suprised to learn I could have a water birth though! I didn't think they had the facilities to monitor baby under water. I'd love to try a water birth!

that's so awesome you have the option! i still have to take a tour of my hosp and see what they offer (oops) but they won't let us bring dd which means i have to arrange with family for them watching her, but i do really have to set the stupid thing up.

love all your stuff so nice! I can't resist the urge either. just trying to control myself. but it's not easy.

My husband is now saying either Hannah Alexa (I vetoed Alexandra, it's just too long for my tastes) or Hannah Marie.

i like marie. that's where my vote goes. Hannah alexa is ok but doesn't seem to flow as nice imo. (which doesn' tmatter cause it's your baby )

i have trouble believing there is really a baby in there too. besides the symptoms and the wild random kicking and hurting lol! but sometimes, for some reason it's still hard to believe! And i can't even imagine two kids. just seems alien.

afm- hips started hurting and lower back. yikes. too early for this.

 

[wishuwerehere]

If I'm having a girl I don't really need to do much shopping bar cot mattresses...so the frugal side of me hopes it's a girl lol. Finally got a date for my scan though- 8th feb looking forward to seeing them again!
