March 2010 Mummies!!

[Erised]

The whole spring theme has confused me since it came about, as to me (having been taught by the astronomical calendar instead of the meteorology one) Spring doesn't start until the 21st of March (technically March 20th this year). So my baby to me will very much be a winter baby still, especially if she's born early. I've always considered myself to be a 'middle of winter' baby born on Feb 19th, but if spring starts on the 1st of March I'd be a very late winter baby.

Also had no idea lambs were born this early on in the year

In Wales where im from they start being born as early as January! Not sure about down here in Kent tho, I didnt see any last year lol. xx

ooooh so the lamb is because of Spring tooo haha I didn't even click. Ok so I'm not technically a lamb then I'm more like a red leaf or a raindrop Lambs are born typically in September That's ok. i am more than willing to stay a lamb just to hang with you lovely ladies. After all no1 here (in NZ where i am) is giving support to a "red leaf" or a "raindrop" like you guys x

Hmmm, here March is either snow or tornados. No way of knowing which it will be. Last year the third week of Feb. we had a big ice storm, just four days later it was almost 70 degrees and we had our first tornadoes of the year. So honestly I have no idea if I'm having a winter baby or a spring baby or a summer baby!

 

[blondeNklutzi]

Oh, and welcome peddybaby! Congrats on your pink bump!

Well I'm from Oz living in London and I can't tell you the number of times I've heard 'A hot Christmas is WEIRD its just WRONG'. But I love it. It took me a few years to get used to sitting inside watching telly and eating all day! We often went to the beach on xmas day and I loved it. Everyone is there sitting on their towels with little plastic christmas trees and tinsel on, having a few beers. Mostly lunch is cold cuts and lots of yummy salads and king prawns. I have missed that so much this year!!

 

[bigbloomerz]

Awww greenlady theres nothing weird or wrong with it, its just different lol. Give me a sunny day out at the beach over shivering in the cold anyday! xx

 

[mummydee]

lambs are march/april here BB... my uncle runs a farm and we always go to see them late march usually!

anyway - happy new year girls, sorry havent been on, had piggy flu and am well behind in coursework for my degree, struggling for any motivation though as not sleeping so just so tired all the time!

GTT is on Thursday and 28wk midwife appt next week!

All the movies on TV have white xmas's lol i would love to have one of those one year. But yea it's pretty much just eat bbq's and salads and drink beer and wine in the sun and the kids play in paddling pools and run under sprinklers. Or u could be like I was this year- sitting inside with a big frown all like "no i dont want to go outside it's to damn hot grrrr, and no i am not going to the bbq i just wanna go home" lets hope next year is better x

Your little one could be a March Acorn (they drop everywhere here in Autumn)!

[DueMarch2nd]

Well I know march is confusing weather wise but I liked the thought of lambs because it sounds sweet so i made sure to look it up and found out they are typically february-april. I dont own a farm so I can only go by the several sites I looked at on google

I kinda think of winter as december-january-february then spring is march-april-may then summer is june-july-august and autumn is september-october-november. I know the calendar says differently but my birthday is June 10th and in Michigan where I come from, it was usually like 90+ degrees so I just could NOT say that i was a spring baby!! and its the same with the other seasons like september isnt summer to me but according to the calendar it is til 21st and december is certainly winter in my eyes but again not til 21st. I think spring is the only one that I COULD possibly agree with the calendar on but since I dont with the others, i just dont with spring either

I miss Christmas back home in Oz so much every year, and not just because I miss my family. Like you, when we were growing up, we would always go to the beach in the afternoon after lunch. It's definitely a different experience to Christmas in the cold and winter, but I love it!

 

[greenlady]

Yeah me too, I think I'm going to sod the expense and go home for next xmas, first one for LO, just to be with all the family, its been 10 years since I had christmas with my family. By then I will be able to have a beer or glass of wine as well, wahey!

Hope all the other March Mummies are well? more snow today!

 

[bigbloomerz]

Hello everyone! How are we all?
Im off to the midwife this morning for my 33 week checkup, all went well at the growth scan yesterday much improvement on last time, Hobnob is estimate weight of 5lb 3!! Thats average according to the sonographer, I was expecting her to be about 4lb 5 lol.

Has anyone else had estimate weights yet? xx

 

[blondeNklutzi]

Nope, unfortunately no estimate weights yet. But Dr. did say that I'm measuring 3 weeks ahead. Eeek!
