Knocked Up Naughties

[caitlenc]

Aw, Jenny, of course you should stay with us! Glad things are going back to normal for you.

Freyasmum!!!! Soooo happy for you! Welcome to the knocked up naughties!!!!

Blondie, a jungle/safari theme sounds great! Can't wait to see what it looks like when it's done!

Beth, good job! I have learned to keep the pups out of the room when I put things together, or I'll be sorting through dog poo looking for missing screws!

Well, the rocker is together and looks great, just need my crib and dresser to come in. I've also been cleaning out old clothes to make room in our closets. I think they call this nesting??

freyasmum congrats hun.

blondie, safari theme sounds good. i have got a maternity belly bar and so far it seems fine.

caitlen, well done on putting the rocker together. im hoping to get one off ebay.

well mum and i worked hard today and got the room all lined, so she is gonna come round next tue (my gran goes to the day center on tue) and we are gonna paint it. its starting to come together now, im really excited.

 

[Blondie]

Wow we are making progress on the nursery - we have a decorator coming round to give us a quote on Thursday - me and DH just can't do DIY or decorating to save our lives

 

[RaeRae]

Yay Freyasmum!!!!

Glad everyone is ok. I have a stupid cough and I'm worried I'm going to pee myself all the time. Happy days.

 

[Freyasmum]

Thanks everyone. I must say it feels good to finally be here!
I bought some tests on the way home tonight - couldn't resist doing one as soon as I got home and there was definitely a line there!!
So now it is almost starting to feel real.

Isn't it weird? You guys are all like old pros at pregnancy, and I'm just starting off! Hopefully more of the leftovers will be joining us soon.

 

[meemee]

yay freyasmum! both of us kiwi's made it to the knocked up naughties!
nurseries are so exciting! will you ladies be putting baby into the nursery straight away or waiting a while?
i think ill keep bub in our room in the bassinet for a couple of months maybe or who knows!

 

[Freyasmum]

We kept Freya in our room for a while. Mostly because I'm lazy and it was easier for feeding her thru the night! She started sleeping thru the night at about 8 weeks though so we moved her out about then.

We probably won't be doing a room up as a nursery too much. We're hoping to sell our house reasonably soon so we're trying to keep it a bit neutral.
Not that I've been thinking about that stuff for MONTHS or anything!!!

 

[caitlenc]

Ha ha, freyasmum, so cute!

Meemee, we plan to keep the Seahorse in with us for awhile, to make those night feedings a bit easier.

Blondie, how was it sleeping in the new bed??

 

[topazicatzbet]

i plan on putting callum in his room from the start but there is a single bed in there so will sleep in there with him for the first few weeks.

the cats all sleep in my room and i dont want to upset them.

 

[AnnaMaria]

Went to doctors today. Everything is fine and i'm 5+ pregnant. Baby weighs 850g, that's 150g less than should be; height is 33cm, that's 2cm less than should be. My bump is 3 weeks bigger than should be, so she has a lot of space in there. I'll put you ultrasound picture later if we can get a camera.

 

[Blondie]

Just been for my 25w midwife appointment and all looking good - my fundal height is measuring about 24.5cm so not far off for a skinny minnie Baby had been asleep most of morning and woke up just before appointment so was doing somersaults and was funny listening to heart rate getting faster as it moved around

New bed is now all complete and just been to test it out - I am sooo looking forward to sleeping on that tonight

We have put our old double bed in the nursery room so baby will probably sleep with us for a couple of weeks and then I'll move it to the nursery with a monitor and I can use the bed in there for inbetween night feeds if need be so I won't disturb DH once he is back to work after paternity leave

Just looking at paint charts now - decided we are getting decorator to do the living room and the nursery for us in the next couple of weeks so we can then go full steam ahead on buying things This year that will be all our decorating and next year we plan on doing the kitchen/dining room and maybe the ensuite and the main bathroom but that's all we really plan to do over next few years - oh and turning the double garage into the snooker room - but that is DH's little project I'm having nothing to do with it

 

[flowertot]

hi ladies.

freyasmum - glad you have finally had a positive test

on the subject of where baby will sleep, we plan to have LO in with us for at least 5 months. thats how long DD was in with us until she grew out of the moses basket. i hated putting her in the cot in the nursery for the first time because she looked so tiny in there. every little noise on the monitor and i was up to check on her!

i'm getting so excited about the scan now. can't wait to find out the sex but also to see that everything is ok. 2 weeks to go!

got such a bad headache today : (

 

[RaeRae]

Hiya girls.

I'm having a panic today. It's all sort of hit me that I'm going to have a baby and a 5 year old to deal with as well as probably recovering from a c section. I had a really difficult recovery last time and I'm starting to worry. If he's born the same my daughter was I've got 10 weeks left and I can't see them letting me get that far this time to be honest. I'm really worrying now!

 

[tori_cottier]

Hi ladies just catchingup again (i really must visit more often)

Jenny: your welcome here anytime you want hun, anyhow you may as well stay here as i'm sure it wont take long with you ttcing so soon.

Freyasmum: Yay so excited for you congrats hun and don't worry about us old timers at least you have a area where we can reassure you and answer all you questions as i'm sure we haven't forgotten the 1st tri in any hurry

blondie a veggie safari sounds great hun have you managed to find beding yet as boots do a jungle theme which i love but not sure what theme i'm going with,
Your so lucky to have a painter i think DH would fall over if i asked for one, as we have 5 builders on site at the moment any more and i think he may have a stroke lol

Beth: yay you your so organised chick you put me to shame lol p.s hows the kittens

meemee: iwont be putting George in his nursery for the first 3-6 months this is because with DD she was always with me as i was in a studio flat, i will though be placing him in his cot for afternoon naps so he can get use to his new room

Flowertot: do you have any ideas what LO will be this time i called DD she all the way through and this one George so think i always knew

Rae Rae: i have the same problem as you and doing pelvic exciser's are just making it worse ohh the joys of having a baby, and panicing is normal hun it's a huge thing even if you have done this before i'm sure there will be loads of support for you once everything happens hugs to you sweety

Samzi are you ok hun?

Caitlenc your rocker sounds lovely i'm going to go shopping for one soon.

 

[topazicatzbet]

Beth: yay you your so organised chick you put me to shame lol p.s hows the kittens

the first one is leaving in 30 mins, the next one next thurs, still need homes for 2.
im dreading them going im so attached to this litter. at least the one leaving today is only going round the corner so i can visit loads, they are going to show her and then breed her next year so i will be supporting them through that

 

[Blondie]

RaeRae - try not to panic too much, my little sister had an awful experience with her first c-section, she got infections etc etc and ended up in and out of hospital for months with it and her scar was a right mess. The second time round they still allowed her to try for VBAC but in the end they did another c-section and it all went brilliantly - they even tidied up all the old mess from the previous one whilst they were fixing her back up and she was over the moon with what they did. She said she was amazed at just how easy it was to get over it all this time round

Tori - I'm currently liking the Lollipop Lane Tiddly Wink Safari stuff so have my eye on that moses basket at the moment - me and DH love giraffes Oh and getting painters in is a godsend - I spend day working from home, let them in, they do all the painting beautifully, tidy up after themselves and go home and I've got a newly decorated room (I'm very lucky in that we can afford to do it though we are only decorating a couple of rooms a year and apart from decorating the house there is little else needed doing),

Beth - I don't think I could cope with breeding kittens then having to let them go, I get attached to things within about 5 minutes Though I'm getting broody again now seeing as our kittens are about a year old now so not really kittens anymore (I'm trying to persuade DH that a nice huskey puppy would be a good idea at present )

 

[RaeRae]

Thank you girls x I've stopped freaking out now. I was lucky in a way last time in the my wound healed up really well very quickly but the whole experience in the hospital was bad and I reacted badly to the painkillers and stuff and it was horrible. I'd like to think that this time I'm more prepared mentally for the whole thing. Last time I was still suffering with depression and my diabetes control was bad. I'm in a better place this time generally and I've got an amazing OH who will do everything if he has to and mum and dad down the road. I think its just coz it's getting closer and if I am going to have a cesarean I would like to know ASAP so I can prepare myself. Last time I found out the day before.

Beth - I couldn't give away kittens. If I tried breeding cats I'd end up like a crazy old cat lady coz I'd keep them all.

 

[topazicatzbet]

i am a crazy cat lady, i have 23 of my own now, cant keep anymore.
think im done on the kitten front this year as i dont think lucy is pregnant.
but the dog has been in season this week so im hoping for puppies in 9 weeks. they will be ready to leave just before callum arrives.

 

[jenny25]
