March Rainbows 2016

I woke up this morning having a MAJOR panic about my scan on Monday!!! Argh!!! I've never left the hospital with good news, so am really struggling to stay positive!

On another note... I am seriously obsessed with Pintrest at the moment! The have the most amazing baby ideas! Anyone else?

 

[Camichelle]

Hang in there Hanrh! I had serious anxiety over mine too and I'm already anxious about my next one but I'm sure everything will be great! It will be such a relief when you see the HB. I can't wait to see your beautiful scan pic. Are you still having lots of symptoms?

I'm a Pinterest addict!!!!! I haven't started looking at baby stuff yet. I think I'm too scared to think that far ahead yet. But right now I'm on it like crazy getting ideas for my DS's Dino themed 5th bday party this month.

I'm jealous of all your scans. Mine isn't until sept. So that's a long ways to go to see that heart beat.

I like Pinterest too. I love getting crocheting ideas. I love crocheting.

I'm sorry, hanrh - it's such an intense anxiety, isn't it? It's good that it's so close and the wait is almost over, though. I'll be excited for you until Monday Hang in there xoxo

Pinterest is so dangerous! I have a couple of baby boards and I'm trying to control myself. When does everyone think they'll start buying/making some of the things they've pinned?

Eme!! Not sure if you remember me. I haven't been on in months but I literally logged on to see how you were doing and if you finally got some good news since last year! Congratulations!! I hope this is your rainbow baby and you have a healthy pregnancy! After my miscarriages last year, I got pregnant in June '14 and had my rainbow baby in February praying for a sticky baby for you love!

Thanks you camichelle and Annie. Yes having lots of symptoms and feeling terrible still. It just difficult to actually believe something positive could happen after so much bad news! Will update as soon as I get home - it's at 11am tomorrow (UK time).

Glad I'm not the only pintrest addict on here! I've had a baby board for about 2 years (embarassimg!) as I just love collecting ideas. I'm really into making things so am so excited to hopefully start actually making some things from my board!

Annie I'm not sure about buying things. I'd say for me it's probably going to be if we get a good 12 week scan - am scared to get anything before then just in case. Id love to have the confidence some women I see on here have who buy things from day 1!! What does everyone else think?

 

[Camichelle]

I know exactly how you feel Hanrh. I feel like I'm waiting for bad news.
Can't wait to hear about your scan!!!
I'm no where near buying anything yet.... But make after 12 weeks if things are still looking good. 8 weeks tomorrow!

 

[allforthegirl]

The only way I would go shopping is that we are having a girl

Other wise I have everything we need. But I don't think I will go crazy with buying things as I have a few friends that will give me things and I can always buy used. Sometimes you can find some really good deals on a big bag of baby girls clothing for fractions of the cost. So that is my plan anyways.

 

[allforthegirl]

Congrats on the 8 weeks!!

Is it dragging right now for any of you?

the start of this went really really fast then this week has been dragging. Not that I want it to go fast but I definitely don't want it to be dragging either.

 

[hanrh]

Camichelle - woohoo for your 8 weeks. Don't you love seeing that little fruit getting bigger on your ticker!

Allforthegirl - you will have to give me tips on what to/what not to buy when the time comes. I. The sort of person who would buy EVERYTHING, just in case! I agree time is really dragging at the moment, I think it's the feeling so unwell and not being able to get out the house much for me!

There is shit ton of stuff people will say you need and I never ended up ever using. So for sure I will help you out. And some of it will also depend on the space you are working with too. I don't have a very big living room, so loads of things we didn't buy

 

[.hopeful.one.]

I'm freaking out about not having space for everything. We are in a one bedroom 750sq ft apartment and will likely be here till baby is about 3-6 months old. Space & organization is going to be a huge issue for us.

 

[hanrh]

Everything went well at the scan (phew!!). Baby is measuring at 8+3 and we even heard the heart beat at 166bpm. I'm so pleased!

 

[allforthegirl]

What a brilliant scan pic!! So happy for you!

 

[AnnieMac2]

Fantastic, hanrh! Look at that cute baby And nice heart rate!

I'm too over-cautious to buy anything. I think it would give me anxiety to see it at home. But this weekend I was feeling more confident and have been having some fun making a wish list on Amazon of some of the bigger items. I do worry about buying everything at the last second. So maybe in early second tri, I'll make some purchases to spread out the costs.

And will definitely be asking advice on what the essentials are!

 

[.hopeful.one.]

Beautiful scan hanrh.

 

[Camichelle]

Yay Hanrh!!!! That's excellent news!!!!! Congrats!!!!!

 

[hanrh]

Thank you ladies! X

Annie I love that you have made a wish list. I do worry about affording everything but we have always planned to save a little each month until 7/8 months to get all the big things and the buy little things each month! I can't wait to feel okay to look In the baby departments!
