June Bundles of Joy - 2016

[Starlight32]

Becy, we are around the same gestation. Do you think our baby girls could be going thru a growth spurt or something so we are feeling less movement? I felt nudges on and off today but they were small. I haven't felt the major rolling or kicks today.

Tinky and lavochain, so exciting you found out you are having baby boys!

 

[MiraclesHappn]

Congratulations on the new blue bumps of the group!

Hi ladies

So at first it was difficult to to get bub to uncross its legs lol i had to crawl on all fours, but we are also team blue!
I am so in love with him already

 

[Starlight32]

Ehjmorris, yay for baby boy!

 

[ehjmorris]

Here he is

 

[Lavochain]

Definitely a day for boys, congratulations!

That is a lovely photo. Our lo had his chin on his chest so we saw so little of his face.

 

[ehjmorris]

Here is the money shot! Haha

Congratulations ladies- the boys are doing well at catching up with the girls!

My maternity uniform arrived yesterday and I look massive in them! I'm in 2 minds whether it's worth just continuing to wear scrub tops and hoping my ward manager doesn't bring it up.

Congratulations on team blue EHJ. Xx

 

[Tinky_82]

Congratulations on also being team blue EHJ - boys are awesome.
Tink - I used cotton wool and water for the first few weeks then switched to unscented sensitive wipes I think.

Another boy! congrats ehj xx

We used aldi nappies through toddlerdom too but used huggies on newborn and then asda little angels when huggies stopped doing them. I am also wondering about which nappies to go for, we usually shop at Aldi now but don't want to stockpile on their nappies if they're a load of rubbish. Also I think different nappies work better on boys or girls. I think I will get a mixture of asda and Aldi and see how we go. As for wipes, at home we used cotton wool and water and put we used wipes, a mixture of huggies and asda sensitive ones, said on the packet it is just like cotton wool and water or something along those lines. I have seen those little tubs/cases and you can make your own reusable baby wipes.

Oo I've missed so much! We went out for a meal with friends last night. So many team blues!! Congratulations all, sons are wonderful! I am quite disappointed actually that we won't get to use our boy name, Asa. This little lady is most likely iur last baby, and I really love the name especially paired with our son's name, Micah.

I think we're probably going with Tabitha for this baby, although Heidi and Cora are also on the table.

I can't keep track of who posted which name choices but I particularly love Arthur, Gabriel and Hugo

 

[ehjmorris]

Thank you ladies i was actually shocked it was a boy lol

I will catch up on posts soon and congrats to all the new team blues!

 

[karlilay]

Wow girls, congrats on all these lovely boys. This is defo my last baby and i feel a bit jealous when i hear of new boys coming, just because i love the name we picked, which was Jake. And my little Zach is just at the most awesome age at the minute, i really enjoy all the boy stuff, the running around at the park with a football, all the lego etc, sad to think he will continue to grow and i will more than likely be back to Princesses and Peppa Pig

My little pink bump, has been called Poppy since we found out she was a girl. I dont see that changing now I really love Florence though, but OH hates it

Anyone got much planned for the weekend?

 

[AngelofTroy]

Poppy is a lovely name, OH's neice is a Poppy and it suits her so well. She's a sweetheart and adores our 3yo despite being nearly 9. She dotes on him and acts like a mini parent!

We have had a lovely lie in this morning as Micah is staying at my parents overnight. OH is cooking me breakfast and I'm still in bed at 9am!!

 

[Squig34]

Congratulations on another ehj! Nice that the boys are levelling up a bit with the girls now

Think I'm going to go & test drive a car this morning

 

[Lavochain]

Poppy is a nice name although Florence is too. I've been lucky that me and the OH have agreed on all names. I totally get the sadness with not being able to use a name you love. Our girls name was Daphne and I was desparate to use it but it isn't meant to be this time. We're planning on more kiddies so fingers crossed!

I will be carrying on renovating our house this weekend, it is nearly there in the most part but the nursery needs cleaning out. My kitchen wallpaper is going up today so I'm very excited

Congratulations on team blue ehj

We're not up to too much, I have lots of open uni work to do whilst DH is at work then when he's home later we need to sort through unpacking more boxes and DS needs a haircut at some point. Also have a big list of things like bills and tv license that need setting up for the new house. So quite a boring day really!

Girls name wise we have lots and they're always changing too. Emily is a strong contender that we both like. I also like Matilda, Ava, Millie, Abigail and Elspeth. DH likes Amelie or Maisie.

Angel I've always loved the Heidi it was a favourite childhood book and its such a sweet pretty name yet so uncommon.

 

[Lil_Pixie]

Tink we just used regular baby wipes. Our hospital (according to my sisters lol) has always been very strict on cotton wool and water, but aparently not on the post section ward all the midwives carried wipes in their pockets for nappy changes (since mums who had had emcs or complications weren't always able to get up to baby) I figured if the midwives weren't too fussed I wouldn't bother. Xander never had nappy rash or anything g anyway or I would have switched. Surprising since his wrists and ankles/feet were cracked and bleeding.

I want to get some yarn today to make a blanket for a friend's baby shower next weekend. I need to pick her up a gift too - any suggestions?? My mind is blank!

 

[vaniilla]

EHJ - Congrats on team blue!


on the wipes front we used a combination of waterwipes and reusable cloth wipes - for the first tarry poos we used cotton wool pads and water, we'll be doing the same with this lo.
