Lucky thread

I'm seriously hoping it's just an echo lol! It does sound exactly the same so I just hope! If it had been my first pregnancy and twins or emilia had been in school then I wouldn't be bothered but twins and a 15 month old, yikes!!! But if that's the case I'm sure we'd just have to manage somehow! More to love and all that lol!

Aw so he's doing just fine! What did the HV say about his weight?

 

[MrsDuck]

Yay that means shopping cupcake

Bailey I can't wait until your scan xx

Espero looking forward to the good news

 

[baileybubs]

Oooh yeah what time is your scan espero! Good luck! I'm sure all will be perfect!

 

[Espero]

Hi Ladies,

All looking ok so far - although I've been put back in my dates to 6 weeks. Not sure about that - bubs is measuring 4.7mm and there seems to be a lot of differing opinion about what size means which age.

Saw a little heartbeat, and hubs got a bit teary.

Espero xx

 

[cupcake1981]

Yey espero so amazing to see that hb!

Bailey the HV wasn't worried, so I'm not either!

 

[MrsDuck]

Yay that's great news espero, I had the same thing, I thought I was 7 weeks and they measured him/her to only be 6 weeks, but 4 weeks later when I was scanned baby measured 11weeks, so I really was 7 weeks at my first scan. It's such a small difference at that stage, as long as you saw a hb that's all that matters, they can be more accurate with your dating at your next scan xxx

 

[baileybubs]

I agree with mrs d espero, it's such a small margin of error for measurements at that stage that I wouldn't worry. The fact that you saw the heartbeat is awesome!!! Yay!!!

Exactly cupcake so if HV is happy and more importantly if Zach is happy then I think his weight is perfect!

It's tomorrow mrs d eeeek! So excited!! What time is it?

Well I tried searching for the HB to show df how it was in 2 places and I couldn't did it at all at first, eventually I did find it but I think that proves it was just an echo lol!

 

[MrsDuck]

No, one was just hiding bailey did you decide to have a private scan?

Yup it's tomorrow whoo hoo it's at 9.30am but then I've got to hang around to see the consultant about my thyroid, that normally takes a few hours to be seen I'll update as soon as I can

 

[baileybubs]

Well I've said all along team blue!

Yeah and I'm so glad I did book the private scan coz I'm nowhere near getting my NHS one! It's next Friday. Can't wait! I'm glad I'm picking up the heartbeat though so hopefully I won't be as terrified when I go for the scan. Then again I knew everything would be ok last time and I know it will be this time

Emilia is currently refusing to sleep! She's so tired as well, isn't it funny how if they are overtired it's harder for them to go to sleep??

 

[cupcake1981]

Urgh bailey grumpy babe here to, wonder week 12 is kicking our butts!

 

[baileybubs]

Emilia's naps are really getting hard at the mo. She refuses to nap anywhere but in her cot. But if she's late for a nap she takes ages to go down and then doesn't always sleep for long enough, so consequently it means I have to make sure I am at home for her naps otherwise she's super cranky. And today we had a staff meeting and my boss said I could being Emilia, coz they all know her there anyway, but she had refused to nap properly before we went so was mega tired when we got home.

And now coz she's only had 2 broken hours of naps throughout the day she's overtired and whinging in her cot refusing to sleep again!! Argh!!

It's making it really hard work to do anything planned at specific times because of her naps these days.

Maybe it's a wonder week though and I don't know it coz she's been really hard work this past week or so.

 

[MrsDuck]

Aw you poor things, cranky babies hopefully it's down to a growth spurt and you'll be back to normal soon xx

Bailey your scan is my house moving day whoo hoo

 

[baileybubs]

She's asleep now yay! That sounds like an awful thing to say doesn't it?!! But I mean coz she was tired and now I can go cook up some stuff for teas later in the week and wash up lol!

Ah yes my scan is the day you move! How's the packing coming along?
I wonder when I'll actually end up having my NHS scan? I talked to df about dating vs nuchal scan and he doesn't want to do the nuchal scan coz he says it doesn't matter. I feel the same I was just thinking about how I felt when they tested Emilia for Down's syndrome when she was born, but I think df is right. We didn't do it with Emilia so won't do it this time either. So, based on the fact that it will just be a dating scan and I'm not 12 weeks til Christmas Day I reckon I'll be about 14 weeks by the time I get it!

 

[MrsDuck]

Aw glad miss cranky pants is asleep, hopefully she'll be in a better mood tomorrow.
I didn't realise you didn't have the nt scan with Emilia, it guess it makes sense not to bother this time either. If you aren't having it do they tend to leave you longer than 12 weeks or is it just Christmas getting in the way?

Packing is well and truly underway, with the majority of it done now. The kitchen will be the only horrible bit left to do. Roll on next Friday

 

[baileybubs]

No there's just no rush for the dating scan for them but the NT scan has to be before 13+6. And I think with it being Christmas and me only wanting a dating scan they might leave me til later to fit women who want NT scans in after Christmas. But then again maybe I'm overestimating the amount of ultrasounds needed in my local area lol!

I bet you feel like you are in limbo! I hated those weeks in between deciding to move and actually doing it!
Our kitchen wasn't too hard to pack and clean, but our massive under the stairs "cupboard" (it was more like a small room!) was so hard to do!!

 

[Leinzlove]

We bought our first house when I was in the 2nd trimester with Zoela. However, we packed up and didn't know when we could move in.

Ended up moving in when Zoela was 1 month old. We were painting and everything else when she was 2 weeks old.

It's crazy but it'll all work out.

 

[CherylC3]

Any updates mrs d? Xx

 

[Tawn]

MrsD, waiting impatiently for your update!

I feel you ladies on the tiredness and cranky babies! Madison was up literally every 30 mins-1 hour last night ALL NIGHT LONG and Steve and I were pulling our hair out with frustration and exhaustion. It was the worst night we have ever had!

Then this morning after not sleeping AT ALL she was up for the day at 5:45 ready to go no matter what I did to get her back to sleep. So I took her downstairs to play and WHAMO, she started crawling (like properly crawling, not the scooting and shuffling she had been doing previously)! Maybe this sleep regression has been developmental?

Anyway, it is amazing seeing her crawl and start pulling up on furniture all in the same day. Let's hope that means the sleep problems will settle down in a few days!

 

[baileybubs]

Oh I hope so for you Hun that must have been a terrible night! It does sound like a developmental thing, I think Emilia's is similar coz she's literally on the verge of crawling and she was awake every couple of hours last night and is still refusing to nap properly. She manages to go back to sleep fairly quickly though and I'm still knackered today so I can't imagine how shattered you must be!

 

[MrsDuck]

That's fantastic news way to go maddie, hopefully the spurt was making her wake up more
