Knocked Up Naughties

[caitlenc]

Beth, I can't believe you're at 20 weeks already!!!! So exciting! Good luck at your scan, it's today, isn't it?

 

[topazicatzbet]

yep scan was this morning. baby is great all fine there but i didnt like the scanner and she wouldnt tell me the sex, went on about nhs not being there to tell you the gender. after i cried a bit she had a brief look and we thought we could tell the sex but she still wouldnt commit or look much.

i was so dissapointed as i really wanted to know, so guess what i ended up doing....yep paying for another private scan...does the nhs think im made of bloody money.

any way there is no doubt im on team

RaeRae, samzi, topazicatzbet - great scans.
Beth - congrats.

 

[flowertot]

congratulations Beth and lovely pic of Callum James.

i've heard that some hospitals don't tell you the sex because people have taken legal action when they have got the sex wrong.

my hospital still tell you but make a huge point of telling you its not 100% accurate.

my hospital doesnt have that policy, they will tell you if they can, she was just a cow. she was actually a bank scanner so she doesnt even work there normally.


Any way just come home from my friends with a bin bag full of cloths for callum and loads of other boy things.

 

[caitlenc]

Aw, a BOY, how fab!! Congrats, Beth!!

Well, doctor called this morning, my Gestational Diabetes test came back fine, so that's great news! I do appear to have anemia, so have been prescribed some Iron tablets, which is fine. Perhaps that was the cause of my dizziness?

Just got back from buying loads of maternity clothes for work in the fall, and bought some adorable fleece sleep sacks for the seahorse, so that was fun. Was trying to take a nap this afternoon, but my dogs had other ideas and wouldn't let me sleep, the cheeky monkeys!

Welcome home to Blondie, I believe she's back today, hope your trip went well!

 

[Blondie]

Morning ladies

Well I'm back - a lot to catch up on but I'll try my best

Beth - congrats on passing the 20 week mark and your little boy

Samzi - glad your scan went ok

RaeRae - sounds like you are going to have a nice big baby there

Caitlen - glad you have some iron tablets sorted - hopefully that will sort out the dizziness

Everyone else - I have read all your posts I promise - I'm still half asleep and trying to do a quick update before I start work so I apologise for a lack of individual responses

 

[Blondie]

Right now for me

All seems to be going well - I've definitely put on a lot of bump over the last week - will sort out bump update photo at some point Baby is a real wriggler and my belly is constantly twitching and squirming which is a little bit freaky

Had a lovely 4 days in the Lakes (Keswick - Samzi) - did loads of walking and eating so glad to be home and able to put my feet up (well try to but I'll tell you about those exploits in a second).

My brand new bed got delivered yesterday - in a massive Harrods lorry - OMG the neighbours must think DH and I have won the lottery or something with all these delivery men wearing Harrods outfits parked outside the house and unloading. The bed is rather special though - 6'6"wide and 7'3"long - me and DH are very tall and now we have a huge bedroom we thought we'd spend a fortune on a HUGE bed to match Only problem is that they put it up for us only to realise the mattress was too big - or rather they had sent the wrong size sides for the bed and it was 6 inches too short so after stressing loads they are now sending out the right size sides for it - unfortunately though it meant sleeping on our normal king size mattress last night and the house is in chaos as we have mattresses and beds stored all over the place and my sister and her family are staying so it is absolutely manic Will hopefully all be sorted early next week though

And if that didn't stress me enough last night then we nearlly lost one of the cats which had me on the verge of mental breakdown at 9.30pm last night . Whilst we have been away the cats have been kept in the kitchen and utility room as the house has been so manic with my sisters kids and the cats were a little terrified of a 2 year old chasing them around. Anyway as we were back and me and DH were baby sitting so my sister and her partner could go out - I decided to let the cats out in the rest of the house for a play as the toddler was in bed. What I didn't realise however is that my sister had opened the bedroom window on the first floor

About 9pm I suddenly realised I hadn't seem Izzy (the deaf cat) for a while so I went searching only to find the window open and no sign of her. So a mad frantic search of the house followed with no joy. Anyway after searching outside we found her hidden in a bush by the house luckily and she was no worse for wear considering she must have jumped about 15ft down to the ground

So I think my blood pressure is probably about to explode after all that excitement yesterday - so today I'm going to take it VERY easy and try and relax a bit

Welcome back Blondie! glad you had a nice break and i can't wait to see your bump update. glad your cat is ok too.

i've just got back from my midwife appointment. all seems to be ok. heard the heartbeat and according to the midwife it sounds like a girl -142bpm. obviously she said she might be completly wrong but now i'm questioning myself. i was so convinced that pud is a boy!

 

[samzi]

hey naughties.

have any of you ladies bought maternity trousers? im getting some tomorrow as my work pants are a little bit too tight, and with a probable bump growth in the next few weeks i thought id better get some. so the question is - should i get my usual size or the next size up?

I get my usual size and they are so so comfy

 

[caitlenc]

Flower, I've heard the HB thing is just an old wives tale?? Either way, I'm glad that your appointment went well!

Samzi, go for your normal size to begin with, and enjoy, they are VERY comfortable!

Blondie, welcome home, we missed you! Sounds like you had an eventful day yesterday, but glad the cat is okay. Can't wait to see your bump pic!

Beth, does the fact you're having a boy change any of your plans for the nursery??

 

[tori_cottier]

Hi ladies,

I'm finaly back in the uk and a little more tanned than before (although i have a very white tummy as George really doesn't like heat or flying for the matter)

We went away with DH family and to be honest it's going to take at least a month to get over it!

Bumps huge now which i love

blondie: yay you you've got a bump at last i can now stop being jealous of you and you flat tummy, although i'm sure when you have LO you'll go back to your pre preg tummy and i will be on a lighter life for a while lol

Caitlenc: long island again? lol is it your second home now? your dizzy spells will go i had this with DD and i was ok after a dose of the dreaded iron pills grrr there just awful (but good for you and bump in he long run)

Beth: 20 weeks already god your seems to flying by faster than us 3 at 25 week and congrats on being on bump blue yay for us, i'm sure once george and your kitten comes out we can compare how fast we get the nappie on them before they pee on us

Jenny: Hun i'm so sorry for your loss but you really are the bravest person i know i can't imagen where you get your stregh from but keep it up your a true model for us all

Rae Rae: thrid Tri already, i keep looking over in the threads and each time they remind me of what i haven't got for the baby etc not long before us 3 join you tho!

Samzi: your pics are so cute you must be so proud

msmith how are you today?

To any ladies i've missed i'm so sorry butn i'm a little tired and have just managed to read all 25 pages i missed since i left.

well i'm going to buy the furniture soon for the nusery and also decided on boarders and beds for DD as i feel she needs new everything now so she doesn't feel left out and also to fill up her new room as it twice as big as hers at the moment,

I'm also trying my hardest now to freak out at all the dust the builders have caused it's hard tho as i have OCD and this is one area i find i can't control when i'm stressed so DH has made me a safe area of where i can go and clean to my hearts content or just to get away from it all, He's been lovely over the last month and i really don't know what i would do without him

well i'm off to burn my Credit card

love to all

me and George (who may be called Myles or Orry)

xx

I've gone for my normal size as they all seem to have this elastic thing you can pull in if to small hun x

dont believe the hr thing. mine was 140-160 and is a boy

 

[topazicatzbet]

no as i was doing it cream with teddies, my sister just has to draw more boxes on the wall for his name.

 

[samzi]

thanks girls.

i think i will be doing a lot of trying on tomorrow!

 

[caitlenc]

Welcome home, Tori, we missed you!

And yes, LI is like a second home to us, my Mom has a house here, so we try to come out as often as we can, especially in the summer. The beaches are gorgeous, and it's such a peaceful place to be.

25 weeks tomorrow, girls, can't believe it! Seahorse is sooo active, and DH was able to hear the heart beating just by pressing his ear to my bump!! he got a huge grin on his face, until seahorsie decided to kick him!!

 

[Blondie]

Well my guests have finally gone home and we have the house to ourselves again - it was lovely to have them stay but now the house is back to being ours - all clean, gardens mowed, cats happy and I've got my feet up and can finally spend 5 minutes catching up on here

 

[Blondie]

Right well I've finally had a chance to do a bump update photo at 24w6d - as you can see it's most definitely popped now
