March Rainbows 2016

Talking about announcements.....I would love to do something like this to announce we are pg to our family and friends.....

https://lifeasmama.com/the-top-10-most-adorable-newborn-photos-of-all-time/

The first one is perfect for you! My favourite is 8!

Yes that one we would do for sure!! But with my belly instead haha. There are so many great ideas on pintrest, I am melting haha

We are still playing with ideas for the photoshoot. The photographer likes the black balloon that we pop to reveal pink or blue confetti. Hubs likes pink or blue silly string that has the outside covered so we don't know until we spray.

 

[allforthegirl]

Those are both very cute ideas.

Today is Fathers day here and we're going over to my parents house for dinner and we will be sharing the news with them.
The only father's day-ish card I was able to find says on the front "you are father to one of us, father-in-law to the other but we both feel so loved" (something along those lines) and inside I'm writing "and you're Grandad to three of us" and I'll sign it from us and the girls and baby peep.
Its a way I've not used to announce before so should be fun.


When we go public on Facebook in October I'll be making a slideshow/video documenting our losses and welcoming a rainbow.
I'm halfway done the rainbow baby blanket I'm crocheting so I'm taking a break to make some rainbow booties too, which I'll use in a photo for the slideshow. I plan to have DH hold a rainbow umbrella open over us and I will hold the booties and the girls will sit on the rainbow blanket holding a chalkboard that says "a rainbow is forecast for March/April 2016".
But I also love this image too


And when I get a newborn photoshoot done I'll use the blanket in a photo like the one here with it making a heart around the baby. And of course one with the baby wearing the booties and a rainbow beanie in a cocoon.

I also look love this one I just found

I love them NDH. I also plan on doing a rainbow photo with my little for the newborn photoshoot. I have a few pinned on Pinterest

Love the rainbow idea!!

I also won't be getting another scan until 20 weeks BUT I did hear the heartbeat for the first time on the 2nd! I was so relieved and excited. It was my grandfathers birthday too, He turned 84 so it was pretty special. He is hoping for a boy but I am convinced it will be a girl... We have also decided to stay team yellow!

Do any of you have any names chosen yet?

Scan was perfect! So happy and relieved! Baby was wiggling like crazy and is now measuring ahead!

How perfect. I am a bit nervous about tomorrow, yet excited all at the same time.

I was soo nervous this morning. Was up since 5am just worrying myself crazy. So happy now! I'm sure yours will be great too!

Eeek camichelle I'm SO pleased for you! What a lovely picture! The feeling of relief is unreal isn't it! When will your next one be? Ours isn't until 20 weeks now!!

 

[Fezzle]

Great scan, Camichelle!

Good luck today, allforthegirl!

What a sweet picture, Camichelle! And congratulations on the heartbeat, Jessica At the nuchal scan two weeks ago, the tech was pretty sure it was a girl. We'll know for sure at our scan in October. We're thinking we would name her Rose, but maybe that will change. Maybe Elias if it's a boy, but the boys names are really up in the air for us right now.

You girls have the best announcement/reveal ideas. Love them all! I kind of came to a standstill with pinning stuff/creating a registry after I got the big items down. I'm not ultra gender-specific about things (for example, the nursery is blue and will stay that way either way), but I think the window shopping will really kick into gear once we know the sex.

Is anyone showing at all? I know I have a few weeks on everyone (I came here when the February group stalled out). I suddenly popped out just a little last week, but it's not that noticeable.

I just look bloated, but it depends on what I'm wearing too, and how full I am!

 

[allforthegirl]

Had my scan. Posted my pic on my journal as I am on so many boards. Everything went beautifully.

I am not showing and my fundal height is about 14 cm, when I had to pee

 

[Camichelle]

Congrats on a good scan Allforthegirl!

Thanks ladies! I am feeling relieved and like it's finally real. My anatomy scan is in 6 weeks but I booked a private one in 3 weeks. 6 weeks seemed like too long plus we were given a gender guess at NT scan and I want to know if it's correct! I don't really feel like I'm showing yet except for the end of the day bloat that is still making me look huge some days! We're totally up in the air with names.

How is everyone?

 

[Fezzle]

Here's my scan pic for today! Measuring ahead at 13w4d, so my EDD is now 13 March. I have to go with that as they won't let me go past it due to my age. Everything looks good- we are so happy and excited!

 

[AnnieMac2]

Cute scans, Fezzle and Allforthegirl!

So they plan on inducing you if you don't deliver by then, Fezzle? I didn't realize they were in a hurry to deliver when you're older. Maybe I should talk to my doctor about that.

 

[Fezzle]

I think it has something to do with the placenta not working as well after 40 weeks for women over 40. I'll turn 40 in Feb, so have just missed the cut off! But different NHS trusts are different. I know someone else who was 40 and couldn't go past 39 weeks, then I've known others who were 40 and didn't have any restrictions.

 

[Camichelle]

That's is an amazing pic Fezzle! So clear!! Congrats!!!!
