*Knock knock* I think I'm allowed back in here now!! Looking for a buddy!

Yay!!! So all four of us due within a week or so of each other!! So happy for us all!!! Xx
 
And I finally told my mum and she burst into tears bless her.
 
So ladies have we choosen names yet?
We have decided that it will be Emily Helen (after my mum) or Holly Evelyn (after OHs gran.
For A boy we have Noah William not sure on other boys names at the moment.
 
Lovely names Jen. We haven't decided middle names yet and only have a few mutual favourites then we'll decide when we find out the sex and baby is born. Fave names for a boy are Jamie or Jake. Our favourite girls name was Sophie but my best friend has called her little girl Sophie so now we're thinking Emily May. We will wait before we think anymore, only 6 weeks tomorrow and we'll know pink or blue.
 
Lovely names girls!! We haven't really discussed but I really like Niall for a boy, maybe Patrick or Christopher as a middle name (I feel the need to have a saint's name in there somewhere!!) I know DH isn't keen on this though - but his offering so far is Don!! It is his grandad's name (Frankie is named for my grandad who was Peter Francis) but still, I'm not keen. For girls I like Lucia, Beatrice and Nell. Not too sure on middle names as Frankie's middle name is Antony as both his grandads' middle name is Antony so I suppose we should honour our mums too but they don't share any name. So it would either be NAME Margaret Jane or else we just choose a completely different name. I like Evangeline or maybe Julliet. Think I'll wait to see what flavour we've got going on before we really start thinking about it properly though xx

Here is the scan pic as you can see baby is lying on front.
 
We can only agree on Sophie and Max at the minute :haha: We both like lots of names but don't like each others choices :roll:

Jen that's so cute! I can't wait for my second scan next week x
 
Sweet pic Jen :)

We're the same Laura we don't agree on quite a few names, I love Nathan for a boy but DH says absolutely no, he loves Francesca for a girl and I'm not at all keen. So it should be easier when we know the sex. So how come you have another scan next week? Lucky thing, I can't wait for our next one in 6 weeks time.

We're enjoying our last day in the Cotswolds, home tomorrow. Things are ok. Hope you're all good :)
 
Glad you have had a lovely break Bec you needed it.

I've just been horribly sick again that's the second time now. it's funny but once I've been sick I feel so much better.
I'm now off for my birthday lunch with my mum as OH is planned to take me to the cinema tomorrow and then for an Indian in the evening.
Mum also wants to take me to Mothercare this afternoon she wants to buy the cot for us bless her. I said we would buy second hand and her friend has a cot that we are going to look at.

Have a good day and a lovely weekend all. x
 
We have to have a second scan because they put me back to 11 weeks when we went last time and you have to be 11+3 to have the DS testing :roll: So we're back there a week today :dance: x
 
Jen I have never seen a scan with baby on its tummy before!! xx

Neither had I and to be honest it was a bit of a shock to start with but then we saw the HB and we tried to get it on it's back. Baby was having none of it lol.
I used to sleep on my front before I found out I was expecting :)
 
Well I assume it's as a natural position as on the back, I wonder why we don't see as many scan pics like that? I'm still tummy sleeping!! I remember last time being DESPERATE to be able to sleep on my tummy again so I'm making the most of it while I can!

Bec, are you having a good time on holiday? Xx

Oh brilliant, lucky you :) will be lovely to see your bub again.

I also really missed sleeping on my tummy when pregnant last time so have been enjoying it but it's starting to get uncomfortable now- mainly for my back.

I have enjoyed some of the holiday Ruth, we've had some time just the three of us which has been nice and it's funny that I have felt easier about things since being here when I thought it'd be harder. I think it'll be nice to get home though and back to familiarity. It has been good knowing that us being here has helped the whole family.

Anyway, terrible though it is I have to watch Eastenders now- finally the affair is coming out!! xxx
 
Hi ladies,

it's been a while...suppose we're all busy getting on with life! How did your second scan go Laura? All good I hope :) Lucky you getting to see your little one again. I can't wait- 5 weeks today and counting!

So, not much has happened since I last wrote- including the Eastenders I was so excited about- cannot believe we still don't know who Kat has been seeing! (A bit of an addict I'm afraid- pls forgive me!!) I feel like I have got so much more energy now so have been getting back into my cooking- which DH seems v happy about! Other than that I've been trying to find some warm maternity clothes and just doing jobs. We have a nice weekend lined up as it's my birthday on Sunday. Only trouble is money is a bit tight with me not working so we've got Tesco vouchers funding our meal out tomorrow night then a picnic on the Norfolk Broads on Sunday. Going to visit my favourite little farm there, just hoping the weather holds up.

I am feeling so much better than I have been about all my family issues so that's good. Not much has improved but time is great at helping you deal with things and it's great I've got something so exciting to focus on with new baby. Can't wait till we have our scan to find out pink or blue. I'm expecting blue- anyone else got a feeling?

Anyway, hope you are all well and that you all have a lovely weekend xxx
 
Hi Bec. Lol I'm getting fed up with the Easties storyline now they do know how to drag it out don't they. I think it's fine that you are an addict I Love Home and Away and Neighbours and will Sky+ them everyday. I have been watching them for years :).

All is good here pretty quiet week really. Have been telling a few more people. MIL spread the news yesterday to her family as It was OH's Aunties funeral yesterday:cry:. Sadly OH couldn't go because of work and I wouldn't go without him plus it was quite a drive and would have been a long day.

My sickness comes and goes. Not had a date for my next scan but had my results from the Downs test this week and all is ok.
My mum is constantly on the phone checking i'm ok she can't wait to be a granny.

Glad things are better with the family Beth. Hope Ruth and Laura are both ok too.
 
Hey girls! All is good here too. Had a bit of a mad week. PILs were here last weekend which was lovely, on Tuesday it was Frankie's birthday - I cannot believe my baby is 2!! I was gutted that DH and I both had to work but we all got up at 6:30 and went downstairs to open presents and play. He spent the day with my Mum and Dad then we had a birthday tea and cake with candles just the three of us so that was nice. Today is his party so my SIL and her partner are stating for the weekend. Last year we had his party in our church hall and invited EVERYONE!! I did all the catering and it was fun but hard work. This year we are just having it at a little playgym where Frankie loves to go. It's costing just £90 and all I have to provide is the cake. But then the cake is a story in itself!! I love to bake and always want to bake his cakes. Last year's was a triumph (if I say so myself). It was a three tiered cake, the tiers were alternate blue and white and it was covered in layered stars. I was really pleased with it. This year's is a Night Garden cake and I've had to do so modeling with sugar paste which I'm pretty new at. I baked the cake on Thursday and decorated it last night. I started at 6 when DH got home and it was after 10 when I'd finished!! I'm really pleased with it-Upsy Daisy looks a little scary but Frankie recognised each of the characters and seems really pleased with it so that's the main thing. I'll post some photos later.

Glad your downs test came back clear Jen. And glad that you're starting to feel happier Bec. I'm sure that holiday with your family will have helped loads. Laura hope you are well too.

Can you believe we're invthe second tri?? My anatomy scan is on 26th Oct (same as you Bec I think). I have no gut feeling whatsoever this time. I absolutely knew frankie was a boy from day one but this pregnancy has been very different so far so who knows? I can only imagine another boy but that may well be because that's what I've already got. After the horrid bleed at 12 weeks I will just be happy to see a healthy munchkin in there! Xxxx
 
Hi everyone, sorry i've been quiet. Work has been quite busy lately so don't really have chance to update! I do still nosy through though ;)

Scan went fine, pictures are in my journal if you'd like to see :) All pictures are on post#2 so you don't have to search through!

I have a sneaky feeling it's a girl - I posted a thread in 2nd/3rd tri (can't remember which) asking for skull/nub guesses and so far it's 13-7 in favour of girl.

We have our next scan on the 9th November to see what we got! :dance: xx
