Glad all the scans seem to have gone great!

Turns out I have a kidney infection. I'm dosed to the eyeballs on antibiotics and painkillers.

Baby is fine.

I've been knocked for six, taken a week off work and I am so exhausted.

I'm also glad the weather has cooled down, although I now have heartburn which makes the sickness worse!

 

[Ellivort]

Sigh. My inevitable GD diagnosis. Waiting on nurse to calk for insulin education

 

[broodymrs]

Oh no elli. My test is Monday and I'm expecting same results tbh 😟

Sorry about kidney infection sunnie

 

[mirandaprice]

Hope you recover quickly sunnie!

Good luck on your gtt monday broodymrs

Elli, hopefully your gd is easy to control

 

[elliecain]

Sorry about GD diagnosis Ellivort.
Sunnie, oh no! I hope you get well soon.

I've still got 4 weeks 6 days until my anatomy scan. I can't wait to see Bee waving and kicking. I still don't know if we will find out the gender... I'm on "team undecided"!

 

[katestar53]

Wow..... I got my harmony test results back today, super fast. Low risk for all so I'm obv delighted with that. Also found out the gender and to my total surprise I'm having a boy!

Congrats Oxygen!! Boys are brilliant X

 

[salamander91]

Sorry about your GD ellivort!

We were team yellow (we have one of each) but I think we've decided to find out. I just like being organised and it means we can get rid of Cora's clothes if its a boy x

Sunnie, I hope you get well soon.

Congratulations oxygen!

just got my results from the harmony / veracity test.... i was so scared all week because the result would not come out sooner
anw all is good and with a very very low probability for anything wrong

now i have to wait 2 more weeks fore the next appointment

btw today i miss coffee i really miss a cup of hot nice smelly coffee what do you ladies miss the most?

 

[salamander91]

Congrats arrow!

I've really been craving energy drinks so missing those right now!

Oh wow congrats! One of each! How much did the harmony tests cost you?

It's cost £399. Obv a lot of money and very luckily for me my friend went halves with me and mum also contributed so I'm very thankful. I think I was worried because I am 37.
Still in shock I'm having a boy. Wierd because I have felt it's a boy. I craved so much sweet stuff with my girl and I never had a sweet tooth before her. This time I've been obsessed with savour and esp sandwiches! But I just figured it would say girl again. It would have been nice to give Ellie a sister Coz I'm very close to mine. But I have two nephews and Ellie loves them so much so I don't think she will care!
I bought a couple of baby sleep suits this morning and it felt exciting buying from the boys section.

Sorry about the GD ellivort

I do miss coffee too, I'm obsessed with coffee shops! Although a have found a place that does the best decaf hazelnut latte ever! So keeps me happy.

Quick question but what size baby clothes are you all (or are going to) buy? My girl was 7lb 1 at birth so fit into newborn and first size (next clothes). Second babies tend to be bigger right?? The newborn clothes I've seen say 7lb 8 and 7lb 11. So would you get the next size up (0-3?). Dilemma!

 

[Ellivort]

Oh no elli. My test is Monday and I'm expecting same results tbh 😟

Sorry about kidney infection sunnie

I hope things turn out the opposite for you.

I wanted to defy the odds by eating well and exercising. On the one part to have a healthier pregnancy, but part of me wanted to stick it to my jerk OB who had me diagnosed at week 6 in his head.

Now I'll get his self righteous 'I told you so' attitude.

Good luck to you!

Thanks!

I'm super jealous about decaf lattes. No such thing exists where I am and it's pumpkin spice latte time ! Although it is probably for the best.

i do miss my extra large coffee with an espresso shot in the AM, it's been downgraded to a medium no espresso lol, but what I miss most are margaritas! Hubby and I went out to eat the other night and he had 2 delicious looking frozen margaritas. 1 for him and 1 in my honour! lol

 

[mirandaprice]

Congrats arrow!

So jealous you ladies are finding out so early the gender....another 5 weeks is killing me

I just have this gut feeling mine is a girl, I'll be so disappointed if my gut is wrong!

I get newborn for birth...my son was just under 8 lbs, but fit newborn for almost a month after birth (he lost 13 oz in the first three days due to jaundice feeding issues). I do have 0-3 month clothe as well...boy clothe from my son and girl clothe from my niece. I'm all set either gender. (But if a girl I'll be out buying more clothe )

I don't drink coffee, but yesterday someone in my office made some and the smell was making me crave it so bad haha..

 

[broodymrs]

I miss booze! I really don't drink a lot non pregnant but especially in the early weeks with this one I could have drunk anything alcoholic!

Re clothes sizes, my son was nearly 11lb and went straight into 0-3. He wasn't in those very long either. I need to check what we have got as some people got us newborn sizes as presents so they're still brand new if needed. I'm having regular growth scans so I should be able to get an idea of size of baby and get the right size clothes. I can't see us bothering with newborn size really

 

[Ellivort]

for clothes size we had bought newborn size, but when DD came 1 month earlier we had to get some preemie stuff for her before she fit into the NB stuff. Nearly every person i've known has skipped the NB size and right to the 0-3.

This time around i think we will buy NB and some 0-3 and wait to see if bubs comes early.
