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

Morning ladies, just wanted to say good luck at your anomaly scan today Jen what time have you got it? I'm sure it'll go well, enjoy seeing your bubba x

I've got some physio this morning which I can't wait for, really hoping it helps my SPD/PGP.

Hope everyone is good still and that Jen and Ruth are both having good weeks off, have you done anything nice?

How's work Laura and when is your scan?

Hi Bec it's not till 3pm this afternoon so it will be a long day lol.

Hope Physio goes ok and sorry to hear you are suffering a bit.

Having a generally quiet week this week I have a 9 year old coming to stay tomorrow for a couple of days so that will keep me busy. Saturday OH and I are off to see the Lion King in Bristol.

Mine was at 3.30pm and I hated the wait too- kept myself nice and busy which helped. Let us know how it goes and which team you're on

A quiet week sounds nice (forgotten what they are like!!) enjoy your little visitor too x

 

[New Mrs W]

Oh yes, good luck Jen!! I'll be thinking of you.

So far my plans for my week off have been scuppered by Frankie not being 100%. he has a temperature and has been sick, yesterday literally all he wanted to do was snuggle on my knee and although he's a good cuddler, he certainly won't normally sit cuddling for more than a minute at a time. I made the most of it!!! Xx

 

[Bec27]

Awh, poor little Frankie, get well soon little one. Josh is the same, you know he's poorly if he settles down for long cuddles! Bless hope he recovers soon and that you don't get it.

My physio went quite well this morning although it was challenging to keep Josh entertained and stop him running off through the curtained cubicle while having the physical manipulation but the physio was great and really good with him. She realigned my sacrum and I've got a support band and another appointment in 2 weeks, just gotta hope it doesn't get too bad otherwise the next 19/20 weeks are going to drag by very painfully hoping this little boy arrives early so it's less time in that uncomfortable stage right at the end...fingers crossed

Xxx

 

[JenJen80]

Well ladies looks like it's a one for me.

 

[Bec27]

Awh, congratulations hun x

 

[New Mrs W]

That's lovely news Jen!! We needed a bit of balance on here after the two blue bundles already! xxx

 

[Bec27]

Hi ladies, just wanted to wish you luck for your scan today Laura, not sure what time it is but hope it goes well and that baby is nice and healthy

I'm doing ok, absolutely shattered running around after DS- he is such an energetic little boy! Not sure how I'm going to cope the further on I get! How is Frankie Ruth? Hope he is better now. Josh has 3 new teeth including his first molar.

Hope everyone is doing well xxx

 

[New Mrs W]

No news from Laura? My money's on a pink bump for her!

Frankie seems better thanks Bec, still coughing and snotty and eating very little but running around as normal so I'm much happier!

Well done Josh on his new teeth! Was he unwell cutting them? Frankie was unwell with his canines but fine with the rest. Can't believe I've got all that to go through again!!!

Have been watching some of our home videos of Frankie today - leaving hospital, first bath etc. It's been getting me so excited about this new baby!! I feel a little guilty as when I was pregnant last time, the new baby was all I could think of but this time I am so preoccupied with Frankie I don't think of this LO even nearly as much!!

Has anyone thought of any names yet? DH is rubbishing every name I suggest so far!! Xx

 

[Bec27]

Yes Ruth he's been dribbling for months but we had a few days where he had red cheeks, was very out of sorts, awful nappies and the worst nappy rash to the point where he couldn't sit or lie on his bottom he was crying in his sleep and clinging to us when we held him so we didn't touch his bottom, poor thing it was awful. I've always sworn by Metanium nappy rash cream but even that took several days and he screamed through every nappy change...awful better now though so glad Frankie seems much better in himself.

I thought we'd settled on a name till DH started throwing new ones around again- or old ones suggested before that I don't like! So I've told him to keep a list now but secretly I'm hoping we still go with my fave- Jake. Or we like Jamie too and both go well with Josh. It's hard when you don't agree on names, especially if you have some you really like and OH doesn't. Hopefully he'll suggest a name you love or like one you suggest soon

What about Jen and Laura, any names yet?

I don't think about this baby as often Ruth, it's definitely different with your first, don't feel guilty about it, we have toddlers who keep us occupied! I can't wait to meet our little man, have been shopping and got his coming home outfit and other gorgeous newborn clothes, it's very exciting, although slightly daunting thinking about having 2 under 2!

Sure it'll all be amazing xxx

 

[JenJen80]

Hi all. Been an emotional week for me as my grandad sadly passed away on Thursday . I have been trying to keep it together and trying not up stress the baby.

Today I have woken up with a stinking cold and feel awful.

 

[New Mrs W]

Aw Jen, so sorry to hear about your grandad. It's awful to lose anyone you love but the extra pregnancy hormones can't be making it any easier for you to deal with. Big hugs to you xxxxx hope your cold goes soon too xxxx

I have my flu jab this morning (gulp!) Had to have some blood taken on Weds as a little boy at school came back from half term with slapped cheek syndrome. They need to know if I have the antibodies or if I've caught the virus or anything. The doctor said that once the rash is apparent the child is no longer contagious and as it was half term the week before I didn't see him so most likely won't have come into contact with it at all, but better safe than sorry I guess. Have you ladies had your flu jabs yet?

Bec I think that Josh and Jake are names that are made for each other. My Godson is Jake Alexander and his brother is Josh. Their youngest brother is Finley - in case you ever get a third blue one!!!! I have my heart set on Niall Patrick and although DH like Patrick, he is not keen on Niall at all I love it and think it goes really well with Frankie. I have banded about a few other names - Kit, Lawrence (Larry), Jeremy (Jem) but the one I really want is Niall. TBH I think I could probably win him over but I don't want to name him something that his Daddt doesn't love too. We both love Frankie and I love watching DH proudly introducing our son to people and want the same for this LO. But all DH has come up with so far is Don after his grandad. Don - I ask you!!! Bloody men putting spanners in the works!! Xx

So sorry ladies! I somehow managed to unsubscribe from here

Only just noticed, that'll teach me to have 30+ subscriptions

We found out on 9th November that we are indeed carrying a bundle!

We've chosen the name Eva Nicole - Nicole just as a middle name though

Lots and lots of pictures in my journal (posted yesterday) showing updates on her room and baby buys xx

 

[JenJen80]

Yay how lovely looks like we have two and two

OMG I have just seen how organised you are and it all looks so lovely x

 

[New Mrs W]

Aw, so we have two boys and two girls!!! We should pair them off!! Congrats Laura xx

 

[Laura91]

How has everyone been?

I've been trying to think of mini targets so that the time goes a little quicker

So far, i've got 2 weeks & 1 day until my v-day

Then, 3 weeks & 1 day until 3rd tri (which i'll be 27w on the 27th Dec )

Then after that I have nothing until my maternity leave kicks in at 36 weeks I need something to break that 9 week gap up! x

 

[New Mrs W]

Good idea with the targets. I have 1 week til Vday, then three til 3rd tri, then I more or less have two weeks off work so I'll be 29 weeks when I go back to work. Then it's 5 weeks til half term, another week off and I'm only going back for one week as it's parents' evening and their new teacher couldn't do it as she'll have only just met them! Then mat leave starts at 37 weeks!! Then three weeks til D-Day!!!! Sounds good to me!

Hope you're all well x x x

 

[Laura91]

So according to my notes, they didn't change my due date after my 13w scan I know it was only one day but I just assumed that they'd change my paperwork.. clearly not.

So anyway, my due date is actually 28th March 2013.

Although, i've still had my tickers and been updating on the right day
