[Fish&Chips]

Good thanks lovely. Counting down my scan in just over 2 weeks. We originally thought we wouldn't find out the sex but we're so blimen impatient!!

 

[booflebump]

[daddiesgift]

Having a lazy day here because the weather is not so great outside. My son is extra clingy and whiny today so dont want to subject anyone else to that Also stressing about our upcoming move and all that ..just wish we could leave today!!

Could I finally be feeling something? After having banana and honey snack this afternoon, I kept feeling a rather nervous butterfly feeling below my belly button. Almost a swooping motion.

The only reason I ask is that my mother - who seems more desperate for me to feel something - keeps tickling the inside of my hand and saying thats what it will feel like. But what I'm feeling is nothing like that!

Am I finally feeling my baby moving?

 

[daddiesgift]

I think they call that quickening? Its what women feel first when baby starts moving. So I say it could be baby for sure! This is about the time 1st time moms start feeling movement..I think..I cant remember

I was really surprised to feel baby so early this time but maybe I knew cause I knew what the feeling was. Now I feel him move a couple times a day. Lots when Im laying down or bend over, maybe I squish him LOL. Ive never really felt flutters only full on thuds.

 

[booflebump]

It's hard to describe - but once you feel it a few times, you will realise what it is. I get weird wriggling sensations as well as 'pops' when he gives me a poke or prod with his hand/foot. Fingers crossed you feel more and more as the week passes sk

Maybe we could have a tally in the title of how many blue, how many pink and how many yellow bumps we have or would that be too much work?

Loving all the gender announcements. I get to live vicariously through everyone finding out

 

[skweek35]

Thanks ladies. I am starting to think that as I have been waiting for the tickling flutters my mom speaks of I have been missing the real feeling for me.
So glad I am finally able to recognise the feeling now. I too think that I feel it more when I 'squish' baba!

Cant wait for our scan on Monday 25th! Will defo be finding out which team we are on - if baba decides to cooperate with us!
THEN it will be shopping time!!! YAY Cant wait to start shopping for clothes and start sorting out the nursery - although most of that will have to be done in my summer holidays as I need to clear out the spare room - aka my dressing room! hehe

 

[daddiesgift]

My poor baby will be getting hand me downs the joys of two boys close in age! Its not too bad though, we went so crazy buying for my son that a lot of the stuff still has tags and he never got to wear it since they grow so fast! Plus Im going to yardsale some of the clothes we have that Im not in love with to buy some new stuff for baby!

At this point Im just excited about doing the nursery! We have to move first, but its what I have most to look forward too since we already have every toy, clothes, books, ect that a baby could need!

 

[Cridge]

skweek - I definitely think you're feeling baby! Especially after eating sweet things - that usually gets babies going.

Mine is most active at night...namely, in the middle of the night. I don't get much sleep these days so I spend hours in the middle of the night with my hands on my belly waiting for a kick or two. It's usually around 3am that I feel him the most. Dh still hasn't felt him because I'm too nice to wake him up.

Booflebump - holy wow! You're prepared woman! I have a few things my son picked out when we confirmed gender (socks, one pj's, and a robe ), plus I have a bottle I got for free when I bought some maternity clothes, but that's IT! I'm having 2 showers though, so I don't think I'll be buying much myself. Now, if I were having a girl, I'd have at least as much as you!! Just not thrilled to be buying blue.

I'm excited to get working on my nursery as well. My parents are coming to town in a couple of weeks and then we're out of town for a week or more, so mid July is when I'll get to work on the nursery. I'm not so much excited to be working on it as I am to have it done!

 

[gaiagirl]

Yup...blue seems to be the theme! We are having a baby boy too!

Boofle- you are seriously prepared! Are you having a shower? From what I hear people LOOOOOOve to buy baby clothes so you'll likely get lots of clothing as gifts.

I am so happy about the deal I got yesterday! Found someone on a local FB moms swap and shop page selling this lightly used, excellent condition swing!

https://www.gracobaby.com/Search Results/Pages/Search.aspx?search=1G00SWP&modelNumber=1G00SWP

It's worth over $200 new and I got it for $40! Such a steal

 

[Cridge]

great deal Gaiagirl!! I was just looking at that swing the other day wondering if I wanted to spend the $$ to get it. And welcome to team blue - congrats on the boy!!

 

[Mrs.326]

Add one more for TEAM BLUE !! We're also having a baby BOY

congrats to babyfeva & gaiagirl!! Lots and lots of boy love on this thread for sure

[Cridge]

Congrats Mrs!!! Welcome to team blue!

 

[silver_penny]

I wonder if this trend means that most of the team yellows are team pinks....

 

[wishfulmom2b]

my dr said he sees more team blue because he was a specialist and people were actively trying.. wonder if that has anything to do with it.. not saying we were all trying and doing everything possible but i know a lot of us were!!

hope everyone celebrating fathers day has a great one! going to spend the daytime with my hubby and make him his favorite lunch and give him his gifts then headed to a family bbq were i plan on eating a lot of food haha

 

[booflebump]

Congrats on the all the blue - how exciting!

I don't think I will be having a shower - but if my family are anything like they normally are with new babies, then we will be getting a lot of clothing as gifts after the birth

Happy Fathers Day to all the UK dads and dads to be - I gave my OH a card from the bump

[wishfulmom2b]

i just gave my Dh a card from the bump too and the sucker cried right away heheh loved it!

 

[charlie15]

Congrats on all these blue babies...was lots of pink earlier this month i think so balancing itself out maybe! All very exciting. We have our scan on Wednesday, now OH is curious to find out! He's happy to wait if I want to, but we were out yesterday and saw such a beautiful girls outfit...that's the problem with remaining team yellow! will see how i feel on Wednesday I think.
