*October Bumpkins*2014* 43 Babies Born!

[GeralynB]

Yay for all the new gender reveals! I bought a bunch of pink and blue plates and cups and some balloons at Target today for our gender reveal party. Can't wait until May 10 so we can find out!

Kel21-- I know how you feel. My doctor is making me wait til after my next appointment on the 9th. If they're going 4 weeks after that I'll be 21 weeks. I even asked if I could find out at this coming appointment, she said "It would be too early". That can't be true since plenty of the ladies here are finding out earlier than that.

My sister is a soon tech and she said it is possible to find out the gender at 14 weeks. It just may take time, up to an hour, to find out and most places don't want to spend the time. That's why they say it's too early.

Congrats on all the great scans and gender reveals!

Kel21 - I totally understand. They won't do my scan until 21 weeks so I have another month to wait. At least it's something to look forward to!

Charliekeys - I've suffered from heart palpitations for the past couple of years and have had a couple of episodes since being pregnant. It's not nice at all so I sympathise. Drinking lots of water helps, and try putting something cold at the back of your neck! Sounds strange but sometimes works for me.

I have had bad neck pain for about 2 weeks now. I removed a pillow last night and seems slightly better today so hoping this will resolve it.

Thanks for all the congrats ladies. It's sinking in now I'm starting to get more excited. I'll def be going for more purple things then pink I've always disliked pink lol

 

[La Mere]

Charliekeys- Haha, yes I do. One of my BIL's middle name is Gideon, so it's not just from the show. A couple DH and I are getting to know, they just recently moved into the area we live, have a month old daughter named Piper! Lol, the daddy also likes charmed

Congrats on all the new gender reveals! So exciting, soon most of us will be assigned to team blue or pink. Can't believe it is going by so fast! Loving all the scan pics! SO adorable!!

I was laying in bed with Dh last night and felt a few proper kicks! Can't wait until I can feel more kicks. I hope everyone is felling better if the have been under the weather and to those who have been feeling good, I hope it stays that way!

I have had headaches 3 times since last night. It's driving me nuts, I'm hoping it's just because I am overtired and need a good night sleep.

View attachment 759249Here's my little boy

My clot is still there annoyingly, but he is doing great!

Amazing in 4d how he moves around and touches his face. He was pouting too!

Aw he is so adorable!!!! Wow that is an amazing pic.

 

[Yo_Yo]

Thanks! Also checked again-definitely a boy! I have this paranoia I will but lots of blue then have a girl!

I've been having awful headaches since last week. They've been just terrible! It took me two days to cave and drink a cup of coffee, since Tylenol was doing nothing. The coffee instantly cured it!

I don't want to get back into being an avid coffee drinker, as I've been really great at avoiding it so I've only been drinking it when its mind splitting! It's so delicious!

 

[zephyr]

Mushymilk - I quit coffee but love it so much!! I avoided it completely in the 1st tri and still mostly avoid it now however I do cave sometimes too. I don't know why but the smell of fresh coffee drives me nuts and I have to have some.

Im still sick today. I thought I was okay but I've been stuck to the couch all morning and the twins are sick too so they have been sleeping on me.
Still have to do the grocery shopping soon when hubby gets home hoping tomorrow is a better day!

 

[CharlieKeys]

Hope you and the twins feel better soon Zephyr

 

[SisterRose]

Hope you all feel better soon Zephyr.

your little boy looks so cute yo_yo! hopefully that stupid clot will be gone by 20 weeks

Ive never drank tea or coffee - i can't stand hot drinks, even hot chocolate makes me heave. I instead have an unhealthy addiction to diet coke so have to watch out for the caffeine in that.

wow 9 blue bumps - 4 pink bumps. Looks like the odds really do stack up for me being this time again !

 

[AllStar]

Lovely pic yo-yo I can't wait for our 3d scan in a couple of months.

I had the worst headache I've ever had in my life yesterday and it's still lingering today although not quite as bad. Also felt like I was going to pass out a couple of times yesterday. I haven't slept properly for a few nights so maybe it's that? Determined to get an early night tonight and hopefully feel better tomorrow.

Congrats on the new gender reveals 20 days until our scan, really hope we can find out boy or girl then!

 

[MamaMac123]

Congrats everyone on the gender reveals!!! So exciting! Can't wait for ours! Still over a month away :sigh:

Haven't update since last week so this will be a long one. Sorry in advance!

Sorry to all those feeling yucky no advice on headaches but for any lingering morning sickness or stomach flus running around I heard this from a doctor recently...try taking a spoonful or two of the syrup from canned fruit (peaches, pears etc) apparently the feeling to vomit comes from irritation of the stomach lining. The syrup coats te stomach and soothes that irritation for kids and adults. No idea if it works but it was one I'd never heard before so may be worth a try

While I'm still good with no big morning sickness I've had a few headaches as well. My big things lately have been tailbone pain (I injured mine last year so I think that's why it's hurting so early in the pregnancy), round ligament pains happening frequently and heart burn. Blah. Also stuffy and bloody nose...anyone else dealing with this one?? Been getting bloody noses the past week and have had a stuffy nose basically the entire pregnancy. So annoying.

On the flip side though, my DH has been amazing the last few days. He's been cooking and doing dishes (the kitchen is usually completely my domain!) and he's been tackling house projects this week. I expressed this weekend that I want to get as much possible done in the next month or so before my mom visits. She and I will be doing the nursery together and by then I want all the house stuff in order because I'll be about halfway through and who knows what will happen in terms of how I'll be doing energy wise and how big I'll be getting and if I'll end up on bedrest or something. I just want everything ready early so it's not a panic at the end if they come early or I'm stuck in bed round the clock. I guess he actually heard me because he's been doing a lot to get things done. I'm proud of him haha

Also this past weekend I FINALLY had a dream with both my babies in it! It was a boy and a girl. Not sure what the girls name was but the boy was named James (after my brother). The dream was really simple, just me taking care of them during their first few days home from the hospital, but it was so vivid! I woke up at about 6 am Sat morning and couldn't go back to sleep! I'm so convinced its a boy and a girl. People keep telling me how they had dreams it was one and got the other. And I reply, well I'm sure it's a boy and a girl but if I'm wrong then I guess it'll be a girl and a boy We'll see in June! Also this weekend I think we decided on names for a boy and girl twins if it's girl/girl or boy/boy the names will change but for boy/girl I think we're decided. Going to keep it quiet for now though till we know genders....

Got some great deals at a baby second hand sale this weekend. Got my Brest friend nursing pillow for twins and got a bunch of maternity clothes for super cheap! Yay!

Midwife tonight can't wait to hear those heartbeats again!

 

[MamaMac123]

Rocking the maternity jeans!

 

[AllStar]

I had a dream recently that I had a boy. I gave birth at home on our bed and after he was born, our dd was cuddling him and wouldn't let anyone else have a cuddle lol very strange

Dh really does love the name Jackson but he'd like to spell it Jaxon. What do you ladies think, I've heard it's become very popular in the US so does mean it will get more popular here in the uk do you think? Also how would you spell it? Jackson, Jaxon or Jaxson?

We had both girls and boys names by now with ds and dd and so far we have none we both agree on for this little one!

 

[whigfield]

I love the name Jaxon, AllStar. I would spell it like that. I think it's slowly gaining popularity in the UK.

 

[whigfield]

Love your pic YoYo!
