*October Bumpkins*2014* 43 Babies Born!

[GingerPanda]

Not even thinking about buying baby stuff yet. Last pregnancy stopped growing at 8 weeks, so gonna be super nervous for a while longer!

I saved all the cloths from my last two pregnancy. One of each. SO no matter what I have Ill have cloths. Problem is though that my daughter was a summer baby. So if this one is a girl the cloths with be off in size! But my last, a boy, was a winter baby (January) So at least his cloths will work if I have another boy.

I'm sure someone has asked, but is anyone hoping for a gender of over the other one? I want a girl. I want my 2 year old to have a sister more here age. We even tried the shettles method for this one, stopped DTD 3 days before O. So I am hoping it worked. Although I would be just as happy with a happy healthy baby boy

 

[GingerPanda]

I hope you get your girl!

I'd like a boy, as that's always what I've wanted, but I would be okay with either.

I bought clothes BEFORE my pregnancy in May that ended in July. I just got a bunch of clearance figured I would have a baby before they broke down lol. I may buy a lot or two of clothes on ebay if something catches eye. Diapers and wipes are going to be a gift and that leaves playpen,stroller and car seat to be bought. I would rather buy them few months before.

I can't wait to buy baby clothes but I think I'll wait until I find out what I'm having otherwise ill end up with all yellow and green stuff and would like to be more gender specific with clothes.

And maternity clothes, omg can't wait!!!

With my mc, I was so bloated, I bought some maternity clothes when I was 6 weeks because I was so bloated that none of my pants were comfortable!

 

[Kittycat155]

If I have a girl I would not do dresses so just getting onsies and gowns for easy care Been looking at dressers online as need one. Couple nice ones in budget. Will get one soon as I can always use it.

Been trying to go through everything I own and condense down things I have not used. I got a bit of energy so figured that is logical thing to do.

Thinking I may lose this one ladies! My FRER is only a bit darker then 14DPO. (or what I think is 14DPO) we were not trying this was a big surprise! We only BD ONCE (Jan 11th) so Im assuming I Od that day. Also, my clearblue is still saying 1-2. I got blood work today, but im assuming the worst. Good luck to everyone!

 

[GingerPanda]

Jcliff, I'm hoping for good things for you, hon.

Jcliff - aww try not to worry yet!! I hope everything is okay.

I wont be buying much, ive been looking at the natures sway baby hammock but I kept all my b/g twins stuff and I have doubles of everything so I have plenty.
im hoping by the time we need to use a cot one will be free by then . We are planning on putting the twins into beds when they turn 2 and seeing how they go.

Im hoping for a girl dh is hoping for a boy, we are not finding out though. Of course we are both happy with whatever we get but thats the preference right now.

ive been having lower back cramps and yesterday I had no symptoms then last night I dreamt I lost it and I woke up feeling pretty sad but im feeling sick again today so i feel a bit better however the back cramps are still there.

Anyone else having vivid dreams? I normally dont get much sleep the babies wake me often so I dont dream much but this past week ive been dreaming all sorts of strange stuff.

 

[Jcliff]

Thanks! This is 14DPO and 16DPO, (this was mid day urine, hour hold.) So who knows. But Im okay with either outcome this was a surprise! I have my rainbow here to keep me busy.

Don't assume the worst honey,

Hope everything's ok. Hugs

I think those FRERs look great. Did you take the digi with FMU?

 

[Jcliff]

Nope, took after like an hour mid day hold. It showed up right away but 1-2 took a while to show. But who knows! Im okay with anything!!

 

[Kittycat155]

Can't judge to much into it as even if you take them after same hold you could have had more/less to drink. As long as you still feel ok keep good thoughts.

You could also be a few days behind! CB weeks one are not always right on.

That is my progression. No idea how to make image come into post sorry!

 

[GingerPanda]

So it usually takes longer for the conception time to show up than the "pregnant". So don't worry about that at all.

The conception indicator tests work MUCH better with FMU because it actually works pretty specifically off the hCG levels it can see. I called Clearblue's helpline, and here's what they told me:

1-2 = 10-155
2-3 = 156-2599
3+ = 2600+

So if your diluted midday urine came up at 155, it would give you a 1-2, even if your blood levels were at 400.

Jcliff, that frer looks great ! Fx for you, hopefully time will ease your mind.

I have reached the 5 week milestone! Woke up today with no symptoms, even my breasts are not tender.. my areolas also got lighter. I had a burning cramp feeling on the left side of my abdomen last night, it was uncomfortable. Uggggh. I have an appointment on Thursday to check my levels again. Took another test today, the lines are dark, but I'm still a bit worried, haha. I know symptoms coming and going are normal, but I just need a bit more reassurance. The blood tests are keeping me going until I actually see babe on the ultrasound!

Not sure what DPO I am since I didn't chart this time, but using online calculators they predict it on the 6th of January, so today would be around 21 DPO.

My tests from yesterday and this morning:

Also, welcome to all the new comers!

Haven't thought about buying any baby clothes yet. So far all we've bought are a couple books and some DHA supplements. We definitely want to find out the gender and hoping for a girl!

 

[GingerPanda]

The cheapies look awesome!
