Hi everyone!!

I had a decent weekend.. Pretty tired this Monday due to be out late last night watching oh play hockey.. I'm feeling pretty good though considering .. No sickness. I thi k after my initial belly popped out I haven't really gotten any bigger in the past few weeks.
Still not really feeling any movement.. I'm hoping soon I do.. I know my lo is very active as I can never find the hb for more then a few seconds then have to search again..

 

[sportysgirl]

Hey girls,

I am doing ok atm, nausea is subsiding and still feeling tired.
Had a letter from the GP about having a flu jab, is anyone having theirs?
Not sure what to do I don't normally have one.

Have a midwife appointment on Thursday hoping she will listen to the
heartbeat!

 

[Stelly]

morning ladies

Im gonna get the flu jab. I get it something awful whenever I dont

Oh, and my hubby FINALLY gets home tomorrow - and will be able to attend his first baby appt with me!

Finally broke down and bought two pairs of maternity jeans (don't really *need* them quite yet, I'm getting away with rubberbands or belly banding) and I was SHOCKED at how comfortable they were!!!!!!! I love them!!! And they're SUPER cute too, picked them up from Motherhood Maternity outlet store!! I was telling my husband "Dang! I'm wearing these things before, during AND after, these are great!"
Still no flutters, I was all jealous (in a nice way), I've got a friend half-way across the U.S. who is only 3 days ahead of me, but with her #2 and she's getting definitive little movements....I can't wait

good luck tomorrow cherry!

bkay - do you have any boy names that you both really like? that will give us an idea of what kind of names you're looking for

If it was a boy, we were going to name him Owen. My daughter is named Charlotte, and my son is Ethan. I really like two syllable names, but three would be okay. Im more into the "normal, simple" kind of names, without alot of weird spellings or fancy sounding syllables. If that makes any sense. I also am not a fan of the top girls names. (ie: Ava, Sofia, Isabelle, Addison, Olivia, etc..) or the popular "M" names (Mackenzie, Madeline, McCartney, Madison, etc..)

My DH loves the name Sabrina, I kind of like Noelle. But so far nothing we have seen feels "right"

 

[AmyB1978]

I still can't figure out if I am feeling baby... it is really random, not all the time, and not, I don't think, even every day. I *think* I am feeling her but just can't be sure. I can't wait until I feel "real" movement and know it is her, it will be nice to have that reassurance that all is well in there.

We bought a house, go to closing on Friday and then move Saturday at 8am so things have been crazy busy for me between working, packing, and growing a human! I am hoping things will settle in the next few weeks.

We have a hard time because our last name is 2 syllables, so 2 syllable names sound funny with it. Which includes 90% of names ha! Plus we really don't like super short names or super long names, so it's hard to get one that sounds good. The only boy name we both like is 2 syllables and sounds horrible with our last name because they both end in "s"....so sad

I know how you feel. Our last name is one syllable. It makes choosing a name, that much more difficult. Even if I find a cute one I love, it usually sounds stupid with our 3 letter short, last name

sportys - I never get the flu shot but I don't usually get the flu. I've gotten it once or twice in the last 5 years. I don't plan to get it but I'll talk to my doc and see if he can convince me otherwise. I'll try to read up on it a bit as well so I'll let you know what I learn!

Stelly - yay for DH's first baby appt! How exciting for you

anna - welcome back

baby-bray - my best friend is also pg with her second and across the country! She's 3 weeks ahead and already feeling kicks and movement. Makes me want to sit quietly on my left side and just listen and feel…ooh Motherhood Mat has outlets! Why didn't I think of that…must look for one. Thanks for the tip!

bkay - here goes! Random stream of names I like: Tatum, Bella, Kayleigh, Jasmine, Maya, Ella, Lily, Zoey, Hailey, Brielle, Adlynn, Aspen…hope they spark some helpful thoughts!!!

AmyB - congrats on the new house! I'm struggling with names that go with DH's last name as well…I had to nix half of my favorites! It's 4 letters and ends in vowels and everything sounds singsongy with it

 

[Kte]

Morning all

No idea about names here, really really struggling this time!

I'm kind of feeling a few taps in the same area low down now and then, I'm not 100% sure if it's baby or not, hoping it is. It's low down to the left so not usually a place I feel anything. I was told at the scan last week I have an anterior placenta though so it looks like I will struggle to feel much until later on which sucks big time. I loved the kicks and wiggles last time and being able to monitor babies movements. Plus I was hoping my little girl could feel kicks too.

I'm not decided on flu jab, I've just has a cold and that was awful, don't want to get flu but my immune system is pants this time around so worried the jab will make me feel crappy for ages. I think work just think I'm a sickie

Hi everyone
I always forget this thread isn't in the trimester ones anymore....
Things are going well. A bit uneasy that I don't really have any more symptoms other than sore bbs and I can't wait to feel lo moving! I think I had a few flutters at 14 weeks and maybe a couple more last week but nothing more than that. We have our gender scan next Friday and are so excited to hopefully find out what team we're on
We are also having trouble picking a boys name.... Maybe we won't need to worry about it if we're team pink haha
Have a great day ladies !!

 

[rose.]

Congratulations on the new house Amy, moving is so exciting (but stressful!!) make sure you find some time to put your feet up and relax.

Our surname has one syllable too! It does make finding names more difficult - its mainly the middle names we struggle with, as nothing sounds right! Hopefully once we know what we're having it will be easier as we only have one gender to sift through and find a name that fits

Can't believe im 16 weeks tomorrow!! The weeks seem to be flying past now

 

[baby_maybe]

Good afternoon ladies

Haven't posted here for a couple of days, but I have been reading and keeping up with the posts. Not a lot going on here, I'm just getting over a cold which wasn't very nice and I'm spraying to shift the last bit which has turned into a cough. I didnt want a cough because of the stitch I have in and the extra strain it puts it under so I've been trying not to cough, which isn't very easy!

Pregnancy wise I think I'm feeling little faint movements every now and then, nothing big yet, just little taps occasionally. I do seem to have them most days now which is quite cool I think I'm finally getting my appetite back now, I haven't actually felt sick for weeks, but for some reason the appetite didn't come back straight away. My 'thing' at the moment is pickled onions, I can't get enough of them

Name wise we chose one girls name and one boys name right at the start of deciding to ttc again and as yet I haven't gone off either or looked for any different ones! I kind of figured if we were happy with them all that long ago then nothing much is going to change.

I have my next midwife appointment on Friday, so hoping she will be able to find peanut and I can have a listen to the hb again. My doppler hasn't arrived yet, hoping it does before Friday so I can have a play before I go

 

[paula181]

Gosh I am starting to get an impressive bump now

xx

 

[baby_bray]

Alright, all the doppler talk made me go and order one! Got a good deal on a sonoline b, so we'll see once it comes in!
DH and I have had our girl name picked out for *quite* a while, and we came to a pretty easy agreement on the boy name. We also have the one syllable last name.
Abigail Kathleen for a girl. We didn't notice it until later but it's "Abby Cat", which made us laugh since when we annouced our pregnancy and shared our first ultrasound, my father in law kept asking if we were getting a cat (he wasn't wearing his glasses haha)
John Mervin for a little boy. My husband is John Dillinger, and he's the third...and I didn't know who John Dillinger was, so it never phased me, but my mother said "don't you dare name your kids John Dillinger, that's like naming them Al Capone" (she said it in a playful way, not hurtful). I'm sure most people wouldn't get the "John Dillinger" since I didn't even have a clue. But DH and I agreed on Mervin since it was his grandfather's name. I never got to meet the man, but I've heard so many good things about him...every one in his family says my husband was very much like his "PawPaw Mervin", so it would be a nice tribute....

 

[Mrs. AJ]

Had a doctor's appt today and all is well Finally gaining some weight after losing in first tri. Beautiful hb in the 150s. And got my scan booked for 10/10 - should find out the gender then, eek!

 

[baby_maybe]

Great to hear you had a good appointment mrs aj My next appointment is Friday and I'm hoping to hear a lovely hb too
