March 2013 babies - we all have our beautiful babies :)

[Amy_T]

We don't get weighed as a matter of course here either, never have been in any of my pregnancies apart from at booking. They're generally only concerned with your BMi at booking and as long as baby is growing they're not too focused on what you gain

P.S LoVE the nursery decor!

Does anyone else not get weighed at their appointments? Apart from my first appointment with the midwife, I've never been weighed! So I have no idea how much I've gained during this pregnancy.

Here is a picture of my little ones cot and his room decorations the rest of the furniture matches but I haven't finished organising the room yet

Oh I love it!!! I'm doing monkeys too!!

Thanks stickers were from eBay, the other one is bigger and is a whole tree with 2 monkeys - it takes up the rest of the wall! I'll take a picture of the whole room once it's finished

I am obsessed with eBay at the moment - I'm starting to grow out of my old tshirts so I've been bidding on some on eBay. Been getting some really good bargains!

Rose that looks amazing! Love the monkey!

I haven't been weighed since my first appointment. I think once we get to 30 something weeks we might get weighed as suddenly weight gain is something they need to keep an eye on in late pregnancy.

Have you guys seen Zulily?? It's really cute--they have a TON of discount baby clothes, gear, etc. and a lot of Maternity stuff for super cheap, as well! It's a boutique shop kind of deal so each store is open 2-3 days and then they close.

It's free but it's invitation only, so here's an invite--> https://www.zulily.com/invite/mh893

I know it's US based but I don't know if they do international shipping (I've never tried) but it's definitely worth a look--can save a ton of money on stuff!

 

[baby_bray]

I have bought quite a bit of stuff from Zulily in the last 4-5 months...love it~ I like that I can find some pretty unique outfits and stuff. I see a lot of the same outfits/ideas in so many stores and it starts to get a bit boring...

Lovely monkey nursery

I haven't been weighed for a good while either and wasn't at my last pregnancy. My legs still fit in a size 14 and that's good enough for me, that's the size I was before so my aim is to remain in them. Can't really gauge otherwise and I tend to stay away from scales until afterwards.

I thankfully got some good eBay bargains the other day too, I finally got my maternity clothes out of the loft for my jeans to rip on me! But I was able to get a nice pair off eBay thankfully! I was struggling for trousers!

 

[rose.]

Yeah I had to buy some trousers a good few weeks ago now, got them off ebay too! Trousers are tricky as they get comfortable when they cut in to your bump. I love my over bump ones they are so comfy! At home I live in leggings

Just ordered my cot bedding, so excited! Almost done with the nursery now. I'm getting the lambs & ivy papagayo set. It's green with monkeys/other jungle animals on. I've also ordered some cream wicker storage baskets with green/neutral striped lining to go in my wardrobe and changing cabinet. Buying nursery bits is so fun

Rose, we were going to do the Papagayo set and, in fact, have it. My Mom found it really cheap on a 2nd hand site. We are still using the sheet and she converted the diaper stacker but the other pieces are packed away incase we ever have a 2nd. We decided to go with another theme for our little girl, but planned on doing Papagayo for awhile... it's adorable!

AFM- thanks for the good wishes with the Glucose test... I will get the results, I am assume, sometime this week. I am still nervous about it as I have a high BMI and horrible family history. I do sometimes randomly check my glucose at work and it is always good (even while pregnant) so I am hoping that is a good sign. The drink was so super sweet and made me feel fairly tired/crappy afterwards... after I got a decent meal in I started to feel better though. Good luck to everyone else who has the test coming up soon!

 

[AmyB1978]

I am feeling really irritable/angry/cranky today for no real reason. I am exhausted so that might be part of it but I am just NOT in a good mood. I am thinking maybe it is from hormones/being tired? Does anyone else have these days?

I have those days when I'm not pregnant.... Definitely hormones! And tiredness makes everything worse.

I have my Glucose test this tuesday and this time around I'm NERVOUS, I was okay my last pregnancy but with this huge weight gain (supposedly 10lbs in 4 wks) I'm starting to feel a bit nervous. Hopefully you will be okay though.

baby_bray - it's hard to watch my scale go up too…I too am focused on eating healthy meals and only splurging on one treat a day (pumpkin spice latte or a few squares of dark chocolate or a baked good if I bake something). I don't drink any sodas or juices really so that helps I guess. I've gained 10 lbs but it was in months 4 & 5 which is pretty quick! But I guess my doc isn't worried so I shouldn't be either

rose - love love love your nursery!!! It's gorgeous We don't have much empty wall space in ours cause of built in shelves and a wardrobe but I really wanted the cute drawings on the wall. Will have to think of something!

I get weighed at every appointment along with having my blood pressure taken and urine tested. Am I the only one??

Athena - I'm on Zulily but the few times I've looked, I didn't see anything that good! I'll have to look again I guess…

iPretti - good luck on your GTT! I hope it goes well.


We had our gender confirmation scan on Friday and we are definitely having a girl The picture is practically textbook perfect (see below) so I'm finally letting myself get attached to the fact that I'm going to have a baby girl. Time to hit the shops and get some pink stuff!!!!

*EDIT: Forgot to say, I posted a video on my journal of my LO playing with her feet during our scan on friday if any of you are interested or bored enough

 

[sharnw]

mrschezek, i'l have a look at your video tonight

 

[baby_maybe]

That's a great scan pic Mrs C Definitely a girl, I've seen a few of those myself

Oh yes I had this the other day too. Really irritable and just wanted to be left alone but couldn't which made it worse. Had to hide in my room for 5 to calm down

 

[rose.]

Good luck ipretti im sure everything will be fine!

I think I'm coming down with something, feeling very tired today and got a funny feeling in my throat. Had to buy a diet coke at lunch for a bit of caffeine - I don't drink tea or coffee, and rarely have fizzy drinks, so this is unusual for me!

my kids and the tree

 

[AthenaPlusOne]

Mrschez- I get weighed, bp and urine test at every appointment too. I think it just has to do with whether or not you're in the US!

I do love zulily, though! Some days are better than others on there but I love that it's constantly changing so today might stink but tomorrow's stuff can rock
