And yay for ordering the bathroom woohoo! I could live without a shower, but not a bath lol

 

[MrsDuck]

Yup you are reading that right, it's turning my towels green from drying ourselves and I put a flannel in the bath and it went green, oh and also any soap bubbles left in the bath leaves a green scum yuck

A bath takes too long each day, I really miss quickly jumping in the shower, also I'm running out of space to move in the bath with my growing bump haha

Aw poor Emilia, hopefully she is less cranky tomorrow although she's going to be up early if she went to bed early

Has she got any teeth yet?

I had a good Christmas thanks although we haven't left th house much, still trying to unpack everything, it made me realise I'm going to suffer from cabin fever when I'm off work on maternity and with baby :/

Did you enjoy the time off with df? Also how at you liking your new hair/fringe as I'm considering cutting a fringe in mine now?

 

[baileybubs]

Nah you'll find when you have your little rainbow that going to bed early sometimes means they actually sleep later lol! Although I spoke too soon before coz she woke up half an hour ago crying and I'm still trying to get her back to sleep. Gave her ibuprofen coz I think she's teething, and I do PUPD every 5 mins three times then 10 mins. It's hard coz I can hear her screaming but yet when I'm in there shushing or holding her she calms and is almost drifting off, but the second I leave she screams again! It's hard work but if I don't do this she just continues crying whenever I leave the room!

 

[baileybubs]

Weird about your water being green though, gross!

Yeah the cabin fever gets to me a lot, that's why I went back to work early. I don't think I'm built to be a SAHM.

And I love my fringe now! Going to get my hair done properly in an inverted bob next week (whenever I find out what bloody day df is off that is!!)

Df hasn't had any time of really, he had Monday and Saturday last week and Monday this week but I work Mondays, and he's off this Saturday but coz his days off were messed about I've ended up having to swap a shift so I'm working Saturday sucks!

 

[MrsDuck]

Aw that must be hard,but I'm determined to do that too otherwise I'll be in bed myself at 6.30pm just so she'll go to sleep

What a bugger about df's lack of time off I hope he got paid overtime for working when he was meant to be off to make up for switching his shifts

Glad you like your hair, I need to decide on an easy hairstyle for me for when little miss arrives coz I can't see me blow drying or straightening each day haha

 

[baileybubs]

Nope no overtime, joys of being a chef.

Yeah I just kept putting my hair in a bobble for months, feel so much better now though. To be honest now I've got my GHDs it doesnt take too long and it makes me feel like I am still human lol.

I'm really feeling self conscious about my weight now though, when I was at the MW last week she said my BMI classed me as obese coz its just over 30 (30.4). Its weird coz last time my BMI was 29.5 and I didnt care but now coz its in the obese category I just feel like I am so overweight and feel poop
All I can think about now is losing weight but thats not a good way to think in pregnancy is it? Sigh, the joys of being a woman...

It worked after about 30 mins, she went to sleep. Its hard but they need to learn to self settle, but sometimes I just rock her in my arms lol, I just think sometimes they need to feel safe dont they so I'm not too strict.
Hows the name hunt coming along?

 

[MrsDuck]

Oh poo no overtime pay

I love straighteners but I've ruined my hair using them so often, even with protection spray

Aw hun you are baking a baby, forget about the weighing scales until he/she arrives and even then you aren't big, I can't believe what your BMI is saying

Glad emilia dropped off without too much trouble yup I think I've decided on names but dh isn't entirely convinced :/

 

[baileybubs]

Urgh we do all the hard work of growing and carrying the baby you'd think they'd at least give us more power with the name wouldnt you lol? Df wouldnt let me use Niamh last time and I was so set on it. Now he says we can use it this time if its a girl, but just found out his cousin will be calling their dd Neveah which to me sounds similar so I dont wanna use it now

Are you keeping it a secret what you want? I remember you mentioning Darcy....

Yeah my BMI puts me in the obese category, but I looked at a chart and I could weigh another 20+ kg and would still be in the same category, whereas to be in the category below I could only weigh 10kg less......dont get how they make up these numbers. I'm a size 14-16, and yes I have gone up a size in the past 2 years with all the pregnancies and stuff as I used to be 12-14 but I dont get how that puts me in the obese category!! Its coz I'm so damn short!!

 

[baileybubs]

Oh and how can count for nothing? lol

 

[MrsDuck]

Oh no that would sound the same but how often would they be together?

Hubby doesn't like darcy and wants Lucy, but that's my mums dogs name, or chloë, whereas I want Ruby Amelia

Exactly aren't taken into the equation haha and they weigh a ton

I'm short too, with long legs but short body whic makes me a bit scared of where on earth baby is going to go as she gets bigger eeek!

 

[ttcbabyisom]

Sorry ladies I had to go back to work and was on til 5pm so couldn't update. Everything was fine and baby was wriggling away.

Cupcake hope you and hubby are a bit better now

Cheryl no that's not unreasonable at all Hun I wouldn't either in that situation

Yay for baby being great and wriggling away.

 

[baileybubs]

Oh I deffo don't think a name same as a dog you know, that would be strange. I like Chloe and Ruby, both are nice. Is he deffo not going for Darcy then? Shame that's a lovely name. My df would never go with that name either I don't think.

No we'd never see Neveah but that's because we both hate his cousin, he's an absolute waste of space, and so I don't think I would want my daughter to have a similar name to his. Especially as I do like his sister and mum and they'd probably keep mentioning the similarity etc, no I couldn't do it. Plus she will be born first too so it will look like we've copied them lol!

You'll be like me mrs d, I've got a tiny torso and Emilia had nowhere to go but outwards so that's why I showed early and at the end was just all a massive bump lol! Made it hard to eat though at the end coz my stomach was well and truly pushed up into my chest! And made the heartburn 10 times worse too lol! Sorry!

 

[ttcbabyisom]

Hey ttc happy new year! Have you been doing more bding? Lol

How is everyone?

Happy new year to you too girly! oh yes, i get in bd sessions AS OFTEN AS I CAN. He, he...

 

[baileybubs]

Good good dani! Can't wait til you test Hun, I have a great feeling about this cycle for you, new year new baby xxxx

 

[ttcbabyisom]

It's very quiet on here, everyone busy I suppose?

We've just ordered a bathroom whoo hoo, that will be one room done god I miss a shower

Ooh and we've just arranged to be connected to mains water even more whoo hoo, no more green water

Exciting stuff MrsD!

 

[ttcbabyisom]

Good good dani! Can't wait til you test Hun, I have a great feeling about this cycle for you, new year new baby xxxx

i'm glad you have a good feeling for me because i don't. i still have hope but i'm not feeling unrealistic in my head this time. i don't think we'll get a positive this month but that's ok. i have IUI to look forward to next month and i'll really have hope then.

 

[MrsDuck]

Yeah that makes sense, have you got a back up name?

Nope darcy has well and truly bitten the dust, he likes ruby but prefers chloë

I've been having acid reflux and have to sleep propped up, I bought some gaviscon dual action stuff to try tonight but can't keep taking that or the next 3 months

Ttc I've got everything crossed for you for a jan bfp

 

[baileybubs]

Yeah Eloise is my current fave or Layla. Or Lainie (pronounced Laney) but not sure on that one, especially with df's last name. I love Daisy but I feel that any flower name will sound silly in front of df's last name.

Maybe you'll end up doing what me and df did then. We ended up scrapping all the names we both couldn't agree on and kept coming up with others til I suggested Emilia and we both liked it.

Lol I drank gaviscon from the bottle for the last month lol! Not looking forward to that again! Whatever you do don't drink milk, it goes sour in your stomach and doesn't help!

 

[MrsDuck]

My sister suggested daisy but like your df's it didn't really go with my surname. It's tough isn't it Eloise is nice but they would have the same initials

Hmmm I didn't think about milk, thanks for the warning

 

[MrsDuck]

When is your next scan?
