MACA Pregnancy and Baby Buddies!

[sparkle05]

Awww that's sounds lovely, I wish we could have a chilled out day but with two big sisters I don't stand a chance I have only invited 5 little friends so hopefully it won't be to manic. We attend a singing and music group on a Thursday morning and Isla absolutely loves it so I have booked the lady to come and sing some songs for her party

It's the presents I'm struggling with she had so much plastic crap (none of which I feel stretches her imagination) for Christmas that I don't want anymore I feel really rude cause I have asked for people to put money in her bank instead of getting her a present. I have bought her a wooden post box with wooden letters and a walk a long thing but we are busting at the seems here

Do you have a due date for the little uni ? Well done for staying team yellow, I'm so impatient that I have found out what I'm having 3 out of 4 times
How is this pregnancy going, do you feel any different to last time ? Out of my 4 only one was a nice pregnancy lol. With the girls I had a nightmare, I think it's got worse every time, hence the reason DH won't let me have anymore

Aw her little party sounds lovely! I know what you mean with all the plastic crap! My brother got Sammuel some Britains farm stuff when he was born and we're asking people to add to it so he'll have a big farm set to play with eventually. Most people have been really good, I think we've said lots of times we don't want loads of big toys and thankfully they seem to have listened!
I think books are always good too, Sammuel LOVES books and with another I'm sure we won't have too many!

We did find out with Sammuel and I'm sure I'll be very tempted to find out again!! Due 17th July ish. Which is perfect as Danny will be on summer holidays for 6 weeks!

I feel EXACTLY the same as last time! I so hope the sickness goes quicker though as I can't do 20 weeks of it again

X x x

Oh that sickness is awful, poor you it's right what they say morning sickness is like no other sickness I hope it goes quickly for you
Aww that sounds lovely having a farm that people can add too. They certainly like to Market noisy plastic stuff don't they My mum bought Isla this elephant that blows out plastic balls, it cost a fortune and it's rubbish, Isla gets frustrated with it she would rather play with the saucepans and wooden spoons I think I may have to have a book sort out, we have so many. All the children seem to pass down there books, Isla already has a bookcase and most of them are from ella lol.

Sparkle - wow Isla's 1st Birthday...I hope you have a nice day and the big sisters will enjoy spoiling her i'm sure.

SBB - ahhh to unicorn baby, i'm so glad you had a good 12 week scan. I feel so excited for you

I hope all the maca girls and families have had a lovely christmas and continue to have a good New Year. I had a nice time and having a lazy night in tonight with a dvd and nibbles. My bump has definitely popped out in the last few days...I actually look like i'm having a baby now lol. Getting lots of movement and you can see and feel it on the outside too...soo lovely

 

[sparkle05]

Awww yazzy that's lovely. It all becomes real when you start to feel the movements

Happy new year everyone, hope this year brings you every happiness

I think this year will be great, 2 more maca babies to welcome and lots of 1st birthdays to celebrate

 

[sparkle05]

Happy New Year ladies and happy birthday Sammuel and happy belated birthday to Isla!!! How time has flown!!

We had a pretty quiet Xmas really, spent with close family. Kia is making cute gurgling and cooing noises now and we've even had a few smiles. She still tends to settle for the night sometime between 1-3am but then sleeps for about 5.5 hours, feeds for an hour and sleeps for another 2-3 hours. We're trying to gradually settle her earlier but it's not always successful! She gets overtired then just wants to feed constantly!!

SBB - your scan pic is very cute indeed! July will be a great birthday for your LO. I've got an older brother whose birthday is January and mine is in July - we used to always get a present at each other's birthdays as a kind of half-year birthday present which seemed to stop us sulking too much about not being centre of attention.

Oh, I need to go - Kia has started screaming the place down - will come back soon

love to all xxx

You haven't missed Isla's birthday it's on the 7th lol.

Aww it's hard work trying to establish some kind of routine, they do get it eventually your little lady is having some great sleep blocks though. Isla used to be the other way round, she would go down early and get up at stupid times of the morning now she goes down at 630/7 and gets up around 630/7. For the last few days she has got up at 8.30 so that's been nice

 

[Leeze]

Thanks hon. Blame baby brain and tiredness for my confusion about ve birthdays. I poured orange juice into my cereal bowl this morning! We were up till after 4am with Kia. She's been very sleepy today poor thing. Yazzy, that's lovely that your bump is showing, I remember feeling very special at that stage. It's nice when it's obvious and people start offering their seat on buses etc. Have you got any nice maternity clothes? I found ebay great for that, you can get bundles of clothes that have hardly been worn. Hi to everyone else. Sure was gonna say more but can't think right now. Am sending this from mobile while holding kia on one shoulder so hope it makes sense xx

 

[yazzy]

Leeze...the only maternity things I have bought are 2 pairs of leggings With my jeans I just put a hairband through the button hole and this makes them fit comfortably lol. I have ordered a t-shirt, more for in a few months just before baby is here but need to go and pick that up.

How is everyone else doing?

I'm getting quite achey around my hips and lower back, I am hoping it is just a a growth spurt and it eases up soon. Oh and very, very excited now that last night I sat down with the OH and we came up with baby names and didn't have one arguement over it lol (we are both really stubborn). So we have 2 girls names to choose from and 4 boys names - although we have 2 favourites...it makes it seem so much more real. I guess we will decide for definitely the day baby arrives unless we set our hearts on one of each first

SBB - hope you are feeling well.

 

[SBB]

Happy birthday Isla!!! how was the party? Pics please!

Yazzy are we allowed to know your names?! hope the achiness is gone

I am feeling sicker than ever and my tummy hurts boohoo!

X x x

 

[sparkle05]

Oh no SBB hope the sickness goes soon

Isla had a lovely party thank you I will upload some pictures when I load them onto the laptop

Hope all you ladies are having a lovely weekend

 

[yazzy]

Sparkle - I'm glad Isla had a lovely birthday...wow 1 already!

SBB - I hope the sickness doesn't get you down, I felt rough until about week 14 but then it eased up and disappeared. Hope the achy tummy goes aswell. Yes I can tell you girls the names....I just have to keep them a secret from everyone else lol! For a girl we like Lola or Eva - my favourite is Lola. And the boys names are Elijah and Stanley - again I have a favourite and it is Elijah. I did have more unusual names but the OH doesn't really agree boo!!

Yes the achyness has gone thank you, I think I must have overdone the walking at the beach with the dogs!

 

[SBB]

Love the names Yazzy, Lola is gorgeous and Elijah, great choices! What were your others (I need inspiration!)

I think the baby must be growing a lot that's why my tummy is hurting and I'm feeling extra sick!

Sparkle can't wait to see some pics! Glad you and Isla had a good day

X x x

 

[yazzy]

Thanks SBB...always scary telling people your names but as long as both myself and the OH like them that is the main thing. For a boy I really like Elijah and would love to call the baby that and Lola is so sweet I think aswell...so in my head we're all sorted bar middle names!

Other names...my more unusual boys names are, Merlin (my absolute favourite), Jago - an old Cornish name, Jasper and Isaac - which isn't unusual. Girls - Willow - again a favourite of mine, Matilda ummm can't think of any more! I don't have as many girls names.

I have to say I was amazed how many aches and pains I got up until about 17 weeks then it all calmed down and now in the last week i've had niggles again which I think is my uterus stretching because the kicks i'm getting are now going just a teeny bit above my belly button which hasn't happened before. Baby is so active in there, I love it!

 

[SBB]

That's funny you should say Willow! As we've nicknamed the baby 'unicorn' I googled unicorn names, and theres a site you enter your name and it comes up with your 'unicorn name' whatever the hell that is!! Anyway I put in mine or Danny's and it came up with Willow Delightful Nostrils but I really liked willow!

I LOVE Merlin! I just asked Danny and he said no way! but he likes Willow. And I like Casper. How do you pronounce Jago? Really like a Jasper too!

I have a friend with a Matilda/Tilly and really like that.

Yeh I guess with all the growing there's going to be lots of aches and niggles. I had loads with Sammuel all the time...

X x x

 

[sparkle05]

Great names yazzy I wanted jasper for all 3 of my girls if they were boys, and my niece is called willow Jane

SBB hope the stretching eases up soon, it's a horrible feeling

Isla has had another party today at my MIL, she is now exsausted. Yesterday she was completely over stimulated and although she was in bed and asleep at just gone 6.30 she was awake again by 10 and it took me over 2 hours to get her back to sleep she hasn't slept much today either

Let's hope she gets back into routine tomorrow

 

[yazzy]

Yay someone else who loves the name Merlin...i'm just going to have to have a few children so I can get my own way with that one lol. Jago is just pronouced 'Jay...go'. Yep I love the name Casper aswell. The thing is all the names I love are names we have called our dogs and cats over the years ha ha. My mum's German Shepherd is called Casper and we used to have a Merlin aswell. From my mum's most recent litter of Devon Rex kittens she kept a girl to show and called her Lola but my OH said he didn't mind if we used that name.

Sparkle - Jasper is such a cute name isn't it!

And yes I love Willow...it is getting more widely used now but still very different. SBB - do you have any other ideas for names? I'm going to keep looking to see what I can find

 

[SBB]

Lol as long as they were/are nice pets it's ok!

Girls names I've got nothing... I like Piper, and I liked Ava and Layla when I was preg with Sammuel but for some reason the names I liked then don't really appeal for this one. I still really like them but it doesn't seem right for some reason.

Boys I like loads. Flynn, Kit, Arlo, Casper (fave), Jesse, Darcy, Jett, Lewi, Albi, Leith, Floyd, Benny, Taye.
*
I liked Jackson before but I'd get too annoyed with people (esp ILs) shortening it to Jack which is my brothers name.

X x x

 

[yazzy]

Ha ha yes they were lovely pets!

My favourites out of your boys names are; Casper (love it), Arlo and Jett. I know what you mean about shortening names. My brother is Matthew and we were never allowed to shorten it as my mum said he was named Matthew not Matt....even as adults I still find it weird to shorten his name lol.

Piper is different for a girl, I like that!

Well bubs is having a quiet morning today...I hope he/she wakes up and has a party soon!
