cheree- I think that would make a cute nursery. I can't wait to start doing our nursery!! Though I'm sure my husband isn't excited about the idea of painting another room haha.

hi ladies-
so excited to hear some of you already have bumps showing! mine has disappeared after the bloat from the progesterone subsided. Can't wait to look pregnant instead of just a little chubby.

anyone else suffering from headaches? My m/s has recently subsided but as soon as it did I started getting headaches! everyday for over a week now. I'm prone to headaches anyway, but now I can't take any of the drugs I used to. Tylenol is just not really cutting it. I'm trying to drink more water and eat more often, but still. I keep seeing "paracetemol" (not sure on spelling) on posts here; I'm not sure what that is. Is that just the UK version of acetaminophen or is it something better I can ask for?

I am sorry you are suffering from headaches. I am a chronic headache sufferer. I used to go through 100 count excedrin every month to 2 months! Since I have become pregnant, though, no headaches! Ok, maybe I have had 2 or 3, but compared to the daily headaches I used to get, it has been heaven. I am pretty sure paracetamol is just another name for acetaminophen (Tylenol).

I used to be able to control my headaches with diet - If I ate loads of veggies and fruit - especially greens (kale, spinach, etc), then I would go a while without a headache. If I started slacking on my diet, then boom, they were back with a vengeance. I have been eating really well lately and taking vitamins, so that may be helping me now too. I have also cut all caffeine and no corn syrup (soda, preprocessed foods, etc.).

Haha - just explain to him how easy a nursery is to paint (walls only - not much to cut around except windows, and doors). I did my two upstairs bathrooms last winter and that was a pain. I would like to paint my kitchen/dining/living rooms this winter too, but I doubt that will happen!

 

[luckyme225]

LOL, I'm pretty sure he officially hates painting. I painted our living room/ formal dinning room when we bought the house. A few months ago we (mostly he) painted the entry and the hallway leading into our living area. Then he painted the master bedroom 2 months ago. He promised to finish the downstairs bathroom awhile ago and still hasn't gotten to it. I'm hoping he will do both during Christmas break as Christmas gift, haha!

 

[cheree89]

It will be interesting to see if my OH will help with the painting. He is very concerned about me being around fumes and such, but I always get the low/no VOC paint. He pretty much hates all handy-work type jobs, which means I do them all! I really don't mind, b/c I love planning that kind of stuff and seeing what I can create (and I love my drill - haha!). I'll admit, though, that it would be nice if I came home one day and it was done (in the colors I chose, of course)!

I had 20 pages to catch up on

Wild sorry you feel ill, hope the sickness passes soon

We went chuck e cheeses on saturday and watched DH paintballing, been super busy getting up the xmas tree and wrapping all the pressies.

Had my 16 week check, appointments are weekly now and saw baby wriggling again, super active baby! Ob was worried that im having braxton hicks already though but having the progesterone now so hopefully will settle.

paracetemol is the same as tylenol btw, my headaches are nasty too, I will be seeing the neurologist soon for my epilepsy so will ask him

Ok gotta go anja upset

Hi everyone - Here is my scan pic. Any gender guesses? The pic is at 13 +1.

 

[luckyme225]

I can't tell, any between the legs shots?

Hi girls. I had tons of pages to catch up on.

Cheree, the colors you described sound exactly like our master bedroom. We have blue-gray walls with white trim. All of our accents are creams/ivory, and tans. It doesn't feel cold at all if you have the right accessories. We will likely use similar colors if we are having a boy (except adding lime green to the mix).

You girls are killing me with the food talk. I am eating everything I see. Thankfully, I can stomach just about anything right now. I have been loving grapefruit and all things salty. I really want McDonalds but I've been able to control myself. My bump is awesome. It's huge for 15 weeks, but I'm excited to show early cause I can enjoy it longer. I've already bought a bunch of cute maternity clothes and we plan on going to the outlet mall around Christmas time to get more.

Morning ladies!

Cheree - Lovely scan pic!

Talked to OH about redecorating and furnishing the flat last night, he said as long as I show him exactly what I want and he likes it too I can go crazy! YAY! Although he hates the idea of cream carpet, but I think I will be able to talk him round. He is also going to find out how much of a discount he gets on Dulux custom mixed paint at work, and then see if its cheaper to use his trade account at Dulux or buy it from work. I'm so excited about getting the flat done up really nice!

 

[cheree89]

I can't tell, any between the legs shots?

no - the tech tried to do a bottom up shot, but baby wasn't cooperating. Besides, I don't really want to know, I just like to guess.

 

[meow951]

I was getting really bad headaches but i found i had to drink loads and loads of water/ squash and i don't get them then. I can't believe how much more i need to drink! I also find i need to eat something every few hours and that helps too.

 

[new_to_ttc]

Hi ladies!

Great scan cheree Can they really tell the gender at 12 weeks??? wow!!

Headaches must be a common thing, seems a few of us are suffering them Paracetamol wasnt helping at all so I stopped taking them, just plenty of fluids.

Im wearing maternity jeans today wow so much more comfy lol Im not sure how I feel that they fit lol Im having enough 'Im getting fat' issues, but hell right now I'll just enjoy being comfy lol

Im enjoying a few lazy days this week, back to work next week! Although Im rota'd to start back on Tuesday, and I already need the afternoon off for my 16 week MW check lol ooops!!

Hope everyone is well Putting my pregnancy to the test later, the school need's cakes for Children in Need day.... as I bake awesome cakes I couldnt say no when asked lol sooooo house is going to smell... usually its divine but I havent baked since my smell sense went in overdrive lol

 

[Wiggler]

Oooh, cakes! Yum!

I've got a bit of a sore throat today so I have been sat here, eating honey out of the jar Its delish!

I picked the colours for the kids room, now got to buy some samples and see how they look with the lighting in the room, then go to the Dulux shop to get some tins mixed! Going to get the special Endurance stuff they make, Dylan already managed to chip some paint odd his wall!

xxxx

 

[new_to_ttc]

Wiggler... if you use the Mothercare link on BnB website, you'll get another 10% off the pram I think. I cant see anywhere that says not inconjuction with other offers so you'd get abother £31 off... that makes the pram onlu £279!!!

 

[Wiggler]

Ooh, that would be great, but we can't get it until January, or we wont be having Xmas

Just rang OH, he is buying the tester pots at work YAY!!!!

The room is going to be 2 shades of green, to match the jungle theme, should the feature wall be the darker, or paler green? x

 

[wild2011]

hmm new, schools are only allowed to use shop bought cakes. they can get in so much trouble for homemade!

catch a few smells in a jar, i'll test drive sum1 elses baking before i dare start cooking cakes again .

replaced my slow cooker today it was on its last legs and ive gone for a 6.5l instead of the 3.5 i had.will get used atleast 5 times a week in the cold weather.

hope weve all had good days ladies. xx

 

[BrandiCanucks]

I miss you ladies. I really need to get the internet at home, lol. Santa's being nice to me this year and is giving me my gifts early. I finally got a kitchen table so my kids and I no longer have to picnic on the living room floor, and I'm getting a bed frame tonight and a mattress in two weeks!

I'm so happy because with being weeks tomorrow, I can't sleep on that couch anymore.

I hope you're all doing well, ladies!

 

[wild2011]

yay for early presents.

ive just realised 13 weeks today whooooooooooooo

 

[luckyme225]

Cheree- Are you going to wait until the baby is born or find out at the 20 week ultrasound? I have the patience not to find out but I really want to do the nursery either boyish or girlish and I want it done now haha.

new- I don't think we are even allowed to cook for kidos schools anymore I remember when I was a kid parents would always bake things and bring them in for the class for their child's birthday but now with all the allergies going around schools are super picky.

wild- I'm getting a new slow cooker tomorrow! I'm so excited, I better make sure to actually use it. I'm sure it will come in handy for when the baby comes *i hope*.
