***May Blossoms Due Dates Join Here**47 Babies Born!***

[meow951]

Wiggler- That is so cute! I haven't picked anything out yet lol I've only bought a baby towel, pack of vests and a winnie the pooh sleep suit.

It might have something to do with christmas in 5 weeks, and wedding in 9 weeks though lol Just thinking about them and getting everything sorted!

I trying to pick some songs for our wedding. We're thinking of having baby i love you by the ramones to come out of the registry office. But i'm stuck on first dance and when me and dad walk into the registry office. I really liked the adele version of make you feel my love and i've had it picked out for over a year. But since it's been on x factor and on every tv advert i feel like it's ruined it lol.

So any suggestions?

 

[Wiggler]

Me and OH are having this song as our first dance (when we eventually get round to getting married)

OH picked it, he's a softie!

 

[Wudluvanuva1]

It's onion day 17 weeks not sure if it's going fast or slow for me?
Just seems about right i suppsose?
Love the moses basket Wiggler i'm determined to have pink or blue after the scan fed up of neutral lol!

So what've we all brought for our babies? Or are we all waiting for our gender scans?
I am can't wait 3 weeks one day
Getting lots of OMG your massive comments will post a bump pic soon x

 

[Wiggler]

I havent got anything yet, getting some stuff in the January sales: pram, breast pump maybe a few more bits. Then end of january we are all going clothes shopping to Primark in Portsmouth, then will be buying more stuff from Feb!! Can't wait.

OH said I can get a laptop after baby is born! YAY! I've already picked it out, its much better than the PC and very reasonably priced!

 

[new_to_ttc]

I love the moses basket wiggler! I wont be using a moses basket this time i dont think.

I have been given some baby stuff already, new breast pump, new baby carrier some blankets and shetts etc some maternity tops! Everyone is being so kind. Ive got a baby station and station activity gym. Ive put into place arrangements for the pram so will have that over the next few weeks I'll buy vests and sleepsuits once Ive had the gender scan. Oh I bought a little sleepsuit already, and loved the thumper ones on here other day so will be getting them from George when I go to my mums lol (Asda not close enough here lol) Ive been looking at baby monitors, i love the webcam ones that have a little video display but me thinks at £99 it might be a tad OTT lolol

 

[Wiggler]

I know! The Thumper suits are soooo cute! There isn't an asda even remotely close to where I live so I will probably buy it online.

I picked out my breast pump, bottles, steriliser, bouncer and changing mat today. I forgot how pricey baby stuff is.

I'm so glad me and OH have finally picked out a time to do our big clothes shop. I'm hoping to get some stuff that will fit during pregnancy and after until the next big clothes shop next January I think the budget is £50 for baby clothes, £75 for Dylan, £75 for OH and £150 for me as I need a load of stuff for my hospital bag too.

Which reminds me, do Primark sell towels? I totally forgot to pack a towel last time and the hospital ones were horrible and scratchy

 

[new_to_ttc]

Yes Primark sell towels lol

I'll chose the bouncer and mat etc when I know what gender Im having! If we're having a girly I think I want lots of pink, just because Im very pink lol but a little boy will probably be green's and aniaml themed or something, although clothes etc will be blue

I still dont plan on buying everything new lol As you say baby stuff is so so expensive and they really dont use it for long. The long term stuff I may buy new so it lasts but apart from that cheapest way possible. I dont want Joshua to feel we are constantly buying for the baby and he is missing out. Ive never ever had to say no to Joshua when he has wanted something (ha ha within reason he isnt a spoilt brat lol) and I dont want a new baby to get in the way of that. Joshua still my little man and I want to make sure I can afford to give both my babies everythng they want and need

Morning ladies! I'm on vacation from work the next 3 days woop! Good timing to since it's a winter wonderland outside. I'm going to take my little guy outside to play after his nap. I'm loving watching the snow fall and seeing white everywhere. Well I like it in the comfort of my home where my fireplace is going and a have hot chocolate in my hand haha. We have had a mild winter for the last two years, so this is the first time we are getting a lot of snow in awhile.

I'm kinda hoping we are having a boy, only because then we wont have to buy anything. I'll be happy either way though, just would be nice to not have to buy TONS of clothes again. I get very clothes happy.

Went up a box WOOHOOO!!

 

[Inge]

I think I was evil to the baby earlier I was poking my tummy to see if it would make the movemnts start and turns out just like his/her dad it takes a long time but when it does annoy him/her they get mega annoyed. I got the bubbly/shaking for a little bit in the left side I think the huge chicken new yorker I ate earlier tired him/her out! Iv never been so stuffed!
On the topic of what wev bought, Iv got the pram, a baby sleeping bag and a winnie the pooh dressing gown and slippers
Also got our 20wk scan date through today and its 20th december 2:30pm. Il have to leave work at 2pm but OH can come with me and will finally see the baby so happy!

 

[Wiggler]

new - getting stuff second hand is a great idea, but we have had SO many problems with second hand stuff recently that we won't buy it any more. I feel a lot better knowing I have a reciept and can take faulty items back.

Inge - Yay for gettin a scan date, mine is also the 20th Dec, at either 2.30 or 2.50. I can't tell the writing is so scruffy.

I am soooo full! I just had a delishous dinner of honey and mustard chicken, sweetcorn and fried potato cubes. It was really good, althought I don't think Dylan likes sweetcorn, he didn't touch it.

 

[new_to_ttc]

Im nervous about getting the pram 2nd hand, at the price she is asking! Its a real bargin if it is what she says it is, although I wont be telling my mum how much lolol I havent even seen it yet! Apart from that anything wont be too pricey so wont matter if it is 2nd hand and breaks. I dont need much not to start with. All I need is nappies, towels, blanklets, vests and sleepsuits lol the rest can come with time! Oh and car seat one way or another lol

 

[hopefulmama]

So i got my doppler today haha so excited, till i realized i forgot to get the gel.. so i ran to pharmacy and got hair gel and heard it haha.. was a bit muffled but worked just fine... i read the baby oil works well too, dunno. Great to know i can hear the heartbeat anytime i want!

 

[cheree89]

You all are way ahead of me! I haven't bought a thing yet. I really don't know if I will buy a stroller. I might wait and just get an umbrella stroller for when the baby is older. Instead I'll get a few carriers - I think it is more up my ally than a huge travel system.

I am slowly trying to amass a list of things for the registry/to buy. I think I have figured out which cloth diapers I will buy - which took forever! Unfortunately, those are really hard to register for, because none of the "big" places sell cloth diapers. I put some on an Amazon list, but most, I will have to buy myself.

Lucky - Have fun playing in the snow. We have a wonderful "wintry mix" going on here now - yuck! The commute home will be a pain for many people - I took the train - yay.

 

[luckyme225]

hopeful- i hear aloe vera works too

cheree- My little guy loved playing in the snow. The commute here sucks too. Traffic is backed up pretty bad.

Hi all,
Thought I'd pop in here and say hi. I've been in the June Buds group since my BFP with a due date of 1st June but had my scan today and have been changed to 23rd May! (both me and DH are rather confused by this!).
Will still be frequenting June Buds but thought I might pop in here every so often if thats not too greedy?
Very excited to have gone from 12w5d to 14w in the space of a day!

 

[meow951]

span- Course we dont mind lol I got put forward by about 3 or 4 days even though i knew when i ovulated etc I think sometimes baby can grow a bit quicker in the first tri and some babies grow slower but then it all evens out towards the end!

 

[Wiggler]

Welcome span!

My kitten has gone crazy today! He recently broke his toys so is getting bored bless him, so we will be replacing them soon, and as he no longer poops on the carpet we are going to open up some more rooms for him to explore. Can't wait. OH wants him to sleep in our room though and I told him no way! its too mean to let him sleep in our room then kick him out when baby is born.

I think I felt more movement today which is really nice, I can't wait for baby to start kicking along to music I'm listening to, or TV that I'm watching. Dylan always used to kick at the Jeremy Kyle show music

 

[KimE]

Hi guys hope everyone is well? I don't get to pop on here as often as I'd like as my daughter does NOT like me typing and has a tantrum everytime I go near the keyboard but doesn't mind me just looking/reading which means I end up lurking and by the evening I'm just sooooooo tired!! Still waiting for the 2nd tri energy to kick in ....... maybe with a toddler to run around after it won't??

I got my date through for my 18/20 week scan - 22nd December YAY! Can't wait to find out if it's a pink or blue bump and January sales shopping yipeeeeeeee Am very jealous of those of you who already know/have earlier scans. Can't believe they're doing 16 week gender scans in the UK now!! Wish I still lived there

We have had a couple of foot of snow for a week now and it makes life hard, can't get the buggy out of the door so having to pull Poppy everywhere on a sledge and she get's very cold (-20 here) so we're bored in the house most days It takes half an hour to get her ready to leave the house with her snow gear on and she has trouble walking in snow boots - the snow comes nearly up to her knees where they haven't cleared it!!

hopefulmama - very jealous of your doppler, must be lovely to hear the heartbeat whenever you like

Few days lateafter everyone's elses piccys but here is a piccy of my beautiful girl (can't resist showing her off!!)



Hey ho she's woken up from her nap now and calling me!! Hopefully speak soon (and more regularly!!) xxx

 

[Wiggler]

Hehe KimE, I'm waiting for the burst of energy too, but it doesn't seem to be making an appearance, although I have my suspicions that Dylan has something to do with that

Your little lady is sooo cute!!

x x x

 

[cheree89]

Wow Kim - I thought I was in the frozen north! Your little girl is so cute!

Don't mean to scare anyone, but there is someone in the first tri boards that has an Aug. 4 due date. Time is going so fast!!! Am I the only one in panic mode? I have actually made myself a timeline to get everything done. January - get the basement wired and heat vents extended. February, put in the shower, put up wall board, tape and paint basement. March, finish the bathroom, put in the flooring, doors and trim, move the spare bedroom and office furniture downstairs into the two new basement bedrooms. April, paint and decorate the spare upstairs bedroom into the nursery. May - have baby! Aack - I hope I get it all done! I am sort of worried that I will go early, since my mom went early with all of hers. As long as it isn't more than 3 weeks early, I'll be ok. Of course, I was 31 days early.
