May 2012 babies - so far 8 yellow, 22 blue, 21 pink!

[zephyr]

YoungNImum - I was going to be team yellow too if I was able to convince OH that a surprise would be nice but now that there are two I will be finding out. Main reason being because we will have to think up a name for each not a whole bunch of names, we need to buy more stuff and we can be more specific with the buying. Also I agreed with OH that if it were twins we would find out. I also agreed that if it was twins he could name one oh my goodness, some of the names he has come up with I hate so much!! haha arr well
I have looked in the other may bluebell thread but never posted because I was already posting in this one.

I was too sick to eat breakfast this morning, OH made me toast and I had 3 bites and ended up eating pickles from the jar for breakfast and now I have no pickles
I been sipping on lemon water with heaps of ice cubes during the day and that seems to help my nausea a little.

Hope everyone else is doing okay

As for names OH has picked out Nicholas for a middle name after his best friend who died in a car accident last year We asked the family if they would mind and are really happy with it and I actually love this name, its the first names OH is picking thats the problem.

As for me naming one, I haven't even given any thought yet......dunno why. I think I wanna get to my next scan and make sure everything is okay first.

 

[rjsmam]

hey gals

hope those of you who've had tough times are doing ok....

good luck to those with apmnts coming up! i need to call to make mine, hopefully for next wk.

zephyr - Nicholas is a lovely name & lovely to name after your friend i'm the same - told dh i don't want to talk about names til the scan -doesn't stop him going on about them though !

my nausea continues and feel all round a bit glum - i know it's just the hormones though... roll on 2nd tri!

x

 

[Lollipopbop]

My nausea hit it's peak today, god.. I felt rough!!

I'm definitely going to find out the gender, I'm not a fan of gender neutral colours and way too organized to sort the nursery out after the birth! Good luck team yellow, you're very strong!

As for names - For a boy it will be John/Johnny after OH's late father and for a girl, well.. we haven't decided yet! xoxo

 

[bumpin2012]

I have names that I like picked out, but OH hasn't agreed with them...yet... I told him thats what I want, and when he comes up with a serious name, we will discuss it. until then, the names I have picked are what im going with...lol...I usually get what I want too!

 

[zephyr]

I told OH he needs to pick serious names too!
I just want OH to pick a normal first name, first he suggested Rogul and I was like omg whaaaaat? Then he wanted Lysander, now he wants Conniver......why oh why does he keep picking names I really hate! I don't want weird names! He is a nerd hardout and has been getting the names from games and nerd books he reads lol ohh man may as well name him superman or batman. He probably would too.
I am hoping he finally comes up with a name that sounds normal ish from his books. I don't miind that he wants to name one of them after something he likes but if they keep getting worse I may suggest Nicholas as a first name rather than middle name. Hah got another 30 weeks of name suggestions, I am sure they will get better! I hope they do!

My son and I sat and watched a movie this morning and ate half a tub of ice cream together, ohhhh Im so bad! haha I'll eat lots of brocolli later to make up for it, hell I don't even like icecream! What are these babies doing to me?!

My hormones are making me cry/angry/happy sometimes all at the once wtf?

 

[anti]

My hormones are all over the place as well at the moment. The smallest things can make me cry some days, but other days everything makes me happy. Really dont like it but thats all part of pregnancy. Still no major sickness for me (touch wood!) but my mum said she only has morning sickness towards the end of her first tri. Im 8 weeks now - 4 weeks left and I'll be in the second tri. OMG! Getting so close! yay!!!!! Im still extremely tired though! No matter how much sleep I get at night, Im so tired. But I am working 10 hour shifts, sometimes more, with a 1 hour commute each way so its all catching up on me! So glad Ive got friday off!

 

[zephyr]

Ohh I feel so sorry for you poor girls who are working long hours!!! In the second tri it wont be as bad (hopefully) but the first tri is awful, some days I almost dont even wanna get out of bed!

My mum and I went out for a drink today and I got some old fashioned lemonade it was sooooo yummy, just like the stuff I make only yummier, it even has that sour tang and isn't sweet! Tomorrow I am buying a huge bag of ice cubes, I cbf filling the ice tray so much every day

Hope everyones doing well! So close to the end of the first trimester! I can't wait!
One of my babies is 8 weeks today too! my ticker is out though, will change that when I get my due date.

Hey girls... Just thought I'd update... So I had my scan last Friday but they only saw a sac with nothing in it The woman said it could either be too early or it's a failed pregnancy. Afterwards I spoke to a nurse and looking at my dates/ the ultrasound and my HCG levels she said I was most likely miscarrying

They have continued to take regular blood samples and my HCG levels are going up but they are not even nearly doubling which is what they are supposed to do. They went from about 8,600 to about 11,500 in 4 days. I am booked in for a follow up scan this Friday to confirm whatever is going on

The last thing I was told is that this is most likely a delayed miscarriage... but somehow I have this tiny bit of me that's holding out hope to see something at the next scan - don't know if that is silly and I'm just setting myself up to be let down

 

[yazzy]

Hi Rachel, I hope everything turns out ok for you, its a worrying time. Did you book a private scan or did the hospital have a reason to scan you early?

 

[bumpin2012]

Rachel, thats terrible news! So worrying to have to wait it out. Keeping my fingers crossed for a good outcome hun.

 

[Lollipopbop]

Rachel - Sending you all my love and hope that every things okay! Not trying to give you false hope but I've seen a few threads on here where women have been in your situation and it's all been okay, it was just too early. Good luck xoxo

 

[freddie]

Thanks girls - your support means a lot as you know what the worrying is like... They sent me for a scan as I had had some brownish bleeding/ discharge although it has completely stopped now. Praying that's a god sign x

Im really drained and the sicky feeling is horrid i feel like i just cant get enough sleep even tho i get a good 10 hours or so. i cryed for nothing yesterday i think its just because i feel so rotten

Rachelkt...I know exacly how you are feeling, I was/am in a similar situation, thankfully at my follow up scan 12 days ago the Doc spotted the little bub. I have another scan tomorrow and I am terrified to say the least! Be strong and know that I have sent up a little prayer for you! xxx

 

[anti]

rachel - we're thinking of you. keep us updated! I still got 4 weeks till my scan - really looking forward to it.

 

[Lollipopbop]

Anti - We'll probably have our scans in the same week! I'm so excited, I can't wait to be in the second tri! xo

 

[wavescrash]

Rachel - Good luck. It's still early so hopefully that's all it is and you see something good at your next scan. Please keep us updated

As for whether or not we want to find out the gender - I absolutely do. My OH suggested he may not want to find out and I said, "That's fine... then you leave the room and the tech can tell me alone!" Then he said that wouldn't work because I'd give it away or he'd see the color clothes I'm buying and he'd be able to tell. I said 'tough cookies' because I want to know. I don't like doing things gender neutral. And as far as names go, we're undecided. The one girl's name we've agreed upon is Zoey Grace. Grace will be the middle name no matter what though. And for a boy, the middle name we've agreed upon is Harlow (his middle name, his grandfather's first name) but cannot agree on a first name. Everything he picks, I hate. Everything I suggest, he hates. I keep joking around that in the end, it doesn't matter since when it comes time to give a name in the hospital and sign the birth certificate, I have the final say (we're not married or anything) so I can change the name last second if I really wanted to haha.


This week has been flat out miserable for me. First it was nausea and constipation (in spite of my anti-nausea meds) to the point that I left work early on Monday and came home to sleep. Last night, I got hit with a serious migraine that hasn't really left yet. This pregnancy is draining the life outta me!

9 weeks tomorrow. My next appointment is a week from tomorrow
Hope you're all doing well!

 

[bumpin2012]

lol, Waves, we're having the same problem. I know what names I want, he hasn't agreed to either of them, but suggests silly names. I told him these are what I want. come up with something reasonable and we'll talk, until then, these are the names.
Thankfully, we both agree to leave the gender a surprise.

I started to feel better in the middle of week 9. Still having bouts of qeasiness, but they never last long, and im rarely throwing up these days, so hopefully this is the end of my MS, and not just a brief pause...

 

[Lollipopbop]

I love the name Harlow! I also love names that have a little meaning, like keeping it in the family! Me and OH have agreed on a boys name but girls names are harder! We like Darcy or Nico and it'll be Rose for the middle name after my Grandma xo
