Thanks flowertot, it's a bloody nightmare this pregnancy lark!!!

 

[samzi]

flower

ok, as your desperate to know

boys name - nathan thomas
girls name - jasmin amelia

 

[flowertot]

nearly right! i just added "iel"

lovely names. jasmin and amelia were both on my shortlist!

 

[samzi]

i love them

amelia was my grans name and me and OH can only seem to agree on jasmin

 

[topazicatzbet]

loving all the names guys.

well im shattered after all the shopping.
got a few more outfits for callum and 2 bath towel sets that are soooo cute.
then went to boots and spent £45 on the boring things like breast pads, maternity pads, disposable knickers etc.. then got some nappies and my free changing bag from the boots parents club.
also got some bath things and some dummies.
my shelves are starting to fill up nicely now.

OK so the names we have chosen so far are:

Zara Alexandra for a girl (Zara means the "brightness of dawn" and it also happens to be where I met my DH for the first time - outside the store in York ) and Alexandra is because my DH is called Alex Just seemed the perfect name for us

Boy - so far we have Oliver but struggling to think of a middle name at the moment

You guys are so organised buying so much already - we still haven't started although decorators are finishing off the nursery walls today so at least we will have a blank canvas to fill

Back at work today after 2 days off sick - I'm so so tired it's ridiculous - though I have a feeling my crohns may be causing some issues as my digestive system struggles to take all the energy out of food as it is and I have a feeling with baby growing so much at the moment my poor body is struggling to keep up with demands and hence me feeling crap. Will mention it at next midwife appointment as it's getting ridiculous now - I'm a walking zombie and DH is getting more worried everyday, also noticed that I'm losing weight from my collarbone and hips/legs so looks like everything is being diverted to baby. I have a growth scan a week today so they can check baby is growing ok which is all that really matters but at this rate I'll be finishing work a lot earlier than planned as I'm a walking H&S hazzard!

 

[Blondie]

PS Please don't mention my name choices on facebook as we are keeping them hush hush until baby is born

 

[AnnaMaria]

You guys have thought beautiful names. We only require that name starts with A and is simple, just one name.
When I woke up I couldn't get up from bed Then I realized that end if this pregnacy is coming. It's coming way too fast. I guess few weeks more and then I'll have this duck-walk That and my big belly puts everybody aśk when I'm going to labour. And when I say in November they will be stunned and ask if I'm sure there is only one baby. At least my relatives and friends don't ask that. They know that with twins I was even bigger.
I looked at the front page and OMG I'm the first one to go.

 

[RaeRae]

This little lump is gonna be Jac. We're having issues over the middle name. OH wants Derek as its a family name on his side but it's so gross!!!!!!! I want Edward coz Jac Edward Burton sounds lush LOL! Also my little girl wants Edward as the middle name because of the prince from the film Enchanted. He said we can have both but Derek??? Seriously???

Well we have til the middle of October to sort it out! It's weird but I can't call him Jac yet. It feels odd. It's like he's not Jac yet. I've been calling him chunk.

 

[Blondie]

I forgot to say earlier - if any of our newly pregnant ladies would like to be added to the front page (when you are ready) if you let me know your EDD I will put you on there.

Love the name and love the reason for picking it!

 

[caitlenc]

Wow, all the names are wonderful!!

Blondie, be sure to take care of yourself, sweetie. Sounds like you're having a rough go of it.

Pipkin, period type cramps are completely normal for your stage of pregnancy. And my tiredness came around 8 weeks, and lasted until about 12 weeks, but not everyone gets that. My nausea didn't start until about 8 weeks, either. Isn't early pregnancy a killer? So much to worry about!! But try hard not too worry too much, as this stage will pass quickly!

Beth, you are moving right along getting ready for Baba!! We are rehistering this weekend, as my shower will be in about a month. I know showers aren't big over there, but here they are standard for a first child. SO, I will wait until after the shower to do most of my shopping, as then I will know exactly what we still need.

to all my girlies! Tori, where are you??

 

[caitlenc]

Ummm, did our ticker box change???

 

[topazicatzbet]

oh yeah, you ve moved on to 3rd tri.

edit: yay i ve moved on a box too

 

[tori_cottier]

Hay all,

I have been around but not had a chance to update this week as the building work is slowly taking over my life

My Spd is in full swing at the moment and i'm finding it so hard to walk or drive some days so my MW has refered me to the hospital to see what they can do.

&

George is kicking away in there most hours of the day and seems to be content with his home he's measuring 3cm ahead of him self at the moment so they may refer me for a growth scan to see if he goign to be a big baby,

Blondie hun your heading into the 3rd Tri and this one is the most tiring and also the one that puts most strain on you as a whole. the other thing about the 3rd tri your body starts to use up a lot more of your vits amd min' that you intake in a day so maybe have a supplement such as pregnicare i've been on this since the start of the ttcing. But the one thing i would stress is speak to your MW and doctor hunny as you may be lacking in iron etc, so wish i could give you a hug at this point in moment!

Caitlenc your nusery looks stunning hun i had a sneaky look last night on face book.

Beth hun your rooms sounds at though it's working out a treat!

Samzi: yay you 2nd Tri whoo hoo

to all the ladies your names are lovely, we're not sure what to call this little one yet and no it's not going to be george as thats the name for the bump only. But you never know

Well we are off tomorrow for a week as we taking DD and my Neice away for the week it's shoudl be fun fingers crossed by the time we get back the builders should be nearly finished.

I'm so sorry it's such a short update and i haven't really commented on most threads but i'm at the moment trying to get everyones clothes ready.

I will promise to be better in the future

lot of love

Tori & George

Hi all,

Thanks for the info. girls, sorry I'm just being stupid and reading too much into everything.

Blondie, sorry your feeling rough are you still taking your medication? I'm on Azathioprine for my Crohn's and my consultant said it was best to carry it on if I got pregnant so that's what I'm doing, I've been well for over a year now so I'm just hoping that it stays that way, really worried about the birth (already) as I'm prone to fistulas and don't want anything rupturing. I think the best thing for you to do is to go and see your consultant asap, I have an emergency number to ring if I need to get in quick so I'm sure you have the same. Good Luck xx.

Topaz, sounds like your very organised which is good, I know if everything goes ahead with me then I'll be leaving things till the last minute as I do that with everything else.

Caitlen, love the baby's room it looks great, wish we had baby showers over in the UK but I think everyone's too stingy over here!!!

Pip - I know exactly how you're feeling. I am sure I'm reading a lot more into things than I ought to... I'm trying to just chill out and get thru the next few weeks, but it's really hard. Because of my doc casually mentioning that my hcg levels were low (at 5 weeks, and he said well within normal range) I have been convinced ever since that they are on the way down, not up. It's got to the point where I am now pretty much just waiting for my mc to start.
I called my midwife last week to let her know I was preggers again, but I'm really not convinced I'm going to need her services. I think I might call her on Monday and get her to order some more bloods for me, just to be sure. She mentioned something about an early scan too so I might follow up on that.

We'll get thru it, and then we can start discussing more fun things, like decorating nurseries, like the other girls.

I'm sure everything will be fine for both of us Freyasmum but like you say it's just hard, I think you should get some more bloods taken if your worried, apparently every woman has different hcg levels and as long as he said it was in the normal range for how far gone you were then it's fine. I too can't wait to start talking about fun things, roll on our scans, I won't be having mine till October, NIGHTMARE!!!!!
