me too, all my girls scans look the same, except for chloe being slightly more olive skin and darker hair their face shape nose,s mouths etc are all identical lol.
 
have cramps in my lower back, but not at all in lower abdomen. totally sucks
 
Nothing new here. Just anxiously awaiting Thanksgiving next week. OH's birthday is also next week and I can't wait to give him his gifts. I bought him a parenting book for fathers, a daddy onesie, and a jacket to bring golfing.
 
Ack, christmas gifts.. I need to get cracking on deciding what to get people and I better get a move on for the stuff I'm supposed to make or else I'll have to quickly figure out something to buy.. YIKES...

Also.. any of you girls have any good non-baby gift ideas for me? People are asking what I want but all I can think of is baby stuff!! ARGH... I can think of things I want for $400 (new dresser etc, lol) but nothing at all in the $100 range!
Something fun, useful, or practical (doesn't have to be all 3!)
Whats topping your girls wish lists this year?
 
I am having a hard time with ideas for me too! I told my hubby I'd like a gift card for maternity clothes. Everything I think about is baby oriented, so I gave up!
 
aw, well at least I'm not the only one... my mom is asking me, and I'm supposed to tell my cousin who's buying for me this year too...
I'm tempted to just wimp out and ask for Babies R Us gift certificates to put towards my fancy stroller I want, lol!
 
I think that's a fine plan. You're going to need it anyway, so why not get something useful! I will likely do the same.
 
last christmas before kids though.. we figured we'd keep it kid-free :dohh:

Just seen that MayBaby2011 has sadly lost her baby at just over 15 weeks. She had a little boy. So so sorry hun x
 
MayBaby2011 - so sorry hun

Wow Milosmommy, thats an impressive bump! I'm jealous! :)

Lisa - I have no idea what you can ask for, me and OH both decided that if my mum is going to do presents this year we would like money towards the pram.

I think I need to teach OH how to use the storage heaters in this flat, I asked him to put the heating in the lounge on last night so it wasn't freezing this morning and when I got up it was BOILING! He put it on full blast, so I had to be creative with the furniture to block the heater off so Dylan can't go near it. :dohh:

Midwife tomorrow! YAY!
 
From my journal....

Well home from the hospital and not feeling as positive as I had hoped, everything is ok, just not quite as we planned. We are being sent to Kings for a specialist cardiac scan for beanie, which should be in the next couple of weeks, if not next week, so will be glad when we hear the results of that. The last scan picked up some narrowing of the cord, as its struggling to cope with the blood flow through it, which can be an early sign of pre-eclampsia, and can also affect the size of the baby, as can the coeliac, so have been booked in for growth scans for the rest of the pregnancy too, so they can get beanie out if the blood flow gets to low, or the growth stops. I have to take asprin now for the rest if the pregnancy to thin the blood so it flows through easier. I am back to consultant on 23rd December, to go through the results of cardiac scan and the usual 20 week anomoly scan, so will be keeping everything crossed.

Hold on tight little beanie. xxxxx
 
really hope everythings ok 24/7 :hugs:
On a positive note... I was bidding for houses this morning and realised there was only 2 beds and one beds like we usually see :shrug: then I saw a 3 bed and we had the option to bid for it :happydance: The council have let us bid for 3 beds now they know wer pregnant :happydance: wer still in silver band so 3 bands from top so I need to try to sort out a higher priority for us. At least theyre doing something for us, right?
Hoping to see someone at citizens advice today to get some info about how to help witht eh housing. Im so happy now as theyve actually done somethnig for us even though its a small thing its still good news:thumbup:
 
Im so sorry may :hugs:

24/7 I hope that things progress ok hun :hugs: thinking of you xxx

Inge, great news about the house, fingers crossed :) Least its a start!!

Milos great bump!!! I thought mine was coming along nicely but wow you're is ace lol With my coat zipped up now its soooooo noticable lol People started patting it congratulating me arghhhhhh

My work proper wound me up today! I called in as I was at the hospital (which is near by) and I thought it would spare me making a separate journey on Monday to do my return to work forms. They were fine with that, as I was leaving they said oh I think we have changed your shifts next week (not sure when they were planning to tell me this!). I had a look, they had me working on Monday, which is my contracted day off. They also changed all my shifts to afternoons, so starting at 1.30pm or 2pm finishing around 5pm. This is no good because it means Im sat home all day not earning while Joshua is in free education, then going out to work and paying childcare for after school care which is about 80% of my weekly wage. Ive told them no way is that fair, they tried a stupid stunt like this with me before and it didnt work in their favour then, and it wont now lol They have backed down and given me my normal round back, I dont understand why they tried to take me off it! Roll on March lol Ive spoken to HR she said I can take all my remaining annual leave prior to my maternity leave (normally you can only have 3 weeks off at once). So going to work out how many weeks I have left (4 weeks I think) I'll probably take most of April as Mat leave, 4 weeks for annual leave so I should be able to finish first week of March wooppeeee!!!
 
So sorry maybaby for your loss :hugs:

24/7 sorry your having to worry. Thinking of you.

I have some mandatory classes today at the hospital so I figured I'd go online on my cell phone since I have a free minute. I didn't think about buying nice black slacks for days like today so I'm squeezing into my prepregnancy ones. Talk about uncomfortable. Hoping the day goes by fast because classes are a bore. Hope you ladies have a good day.
 
really sorry maybaby,

24/7 -got everything crossed for u hun and hope things work out just fine.

had a cleaning spree, now relaxing before sickyness kicks in, pay day tomorrow and my house is foodless, if theres a such word so going to stock up completely. then a few stocking fillers for the kids .
