*October Bumpkins*2014* 43 Babies Born!

Great news Yo Yo! So pleased for you. Finally time to relax a little now.
 
Baby3onboard-happy 20 weeks! Half way...well more than half way based on your others

Sister rose good luck for gender scan tomorrow :)
 
YoYo-- Glad everything looks good with your little guy.

How many gender scans do we have this week?
 
Great news for you yo-yo- time to enjoy it!
Cntrygirl not this week for me but mine is the 28th may!
Good luck to all you ladies having scans this week.

I am booked in to have a GTT when I'm 24 weeks apparently because I was previously diagnosed with polycystic ovaries as a teenager but funny they never told me this in my first 2 pregnancies. I am not looking forward to the test and being starved from midnight- so unfair :(

Xxx
 
Starbrites and zephyr - glad you're both feeling movements again and all seems all right. :flower:

Geralyn - Congrats on your baby boy!

Fliss - Welcome! I am due October 15th! :flower:

Yo_Yo - So glad everything is good with your little boy!!

Things have been hectic around here lately! Things going wrong with the car, kids were sick but much better now! I have been feeling baby move a lot recently! :happydance: We spent the day yesterday with some friends yesterday, it was really nice! Only thing is I forgot to call my Oma (Grandmother) and tell her happy mother's day! :dohh: I'm going to have to try to remember to call her today!

I've also been getting so much more achy and sore. I can feel my stomach muscles stretching.. Gah! My back is starting to hurt but at least I can tentatively say my hemorrhoids are gone! Hope all is well with all of you ladies and can't wait to hear more gender reveals!
 
Aww thanks la mere and we are very close then (16th).
I'm getting really worried tho when you all say that your feeling baby move as I'm not feeling anything. With it being my 3rd I expected to feel it already, do you think it's normal?
Hoping to feel something soon as scan seems far away :( xxx
 
Yo_Yo I'm so happy for you, hopefully you can enjoy the last half without any worry:flower:
My anatomy scan is on Thursday at 10.50am, I'm soooo nervous!
 
Hi ladies!!

Geralyn: congrats on the little boy!!

Fliss: Welcome! I'm due on the 10th, but will be earlier because I've had two previous c-sections as well!

Yo Yo: I'm glad baby's doing well!

I had a very nice mother's day yesterday with my two little girls. I called my step-mil and decided not to tell her the gender of our baby. We would rather not tell too many people. I'm just tired of hearing that it has to be a boy or there must be something wrong with me. I don't want to hear "oh, its good its a boy or you would have had to have more kids". My step mil kept trying to say my family would only be complete if we had a boy so I told her that it doesn't matter to us. We are happy with our girls and we would be happy with another one. This will be our last baby regardless of gender. I think she got the point...hopefully.
 
Question: Has anyone used two middle names for their child? Is there room on the birth certificate? And how would that work when filling out forms? Would he use one middle name? both? initials?
 
Geralyn Not sure if it's the same where you are but here we used two for our twins and we put them round the best way they sounded andrew nicholas.
Every place that we signed up to only used the first middle name tho so Nicholas was never heard of. It was still in their records but when letters were sent etc they only used andrew. And some.places didnt even want the second middle name.

so we paid for a name change to switch them round.

im in NZ tho so it may be different here.
 
Question: Has anyone used two middle names for their child? Is there room on the birth certificate? And how would that work when filling out forms? Would he use one middle name? both? initials?

Both our kids have two middle names. They are on their birth certificates and we put both on most forms etc and if they recieve any letters from doctors/dentist etc they usually come with their middle names initials which we're fine with :-)
 
Geralyn, I have two middle names. My initials are L.R.S.Y..when they ask for middle initials I always put both. When forms ask for middle names I put one, comma, then the other. But usually on documents like my license only one middle name shows up and I get a lot of questions where I got my name I go by since it doesn't usually show. So that is something to be aware of
 
Congrats Geralyn on the boy!!! So exciting! My DH wants a boy so bad so I'm hoping the testosterone of the group will rub off on us and we get at least one! Haha

Yoyo glad the scan went well!

Welcome to the newbies! :)

Yuck to all the crazy dreams! I hate all bugs. DH and I have an understanding, if I yell "spider" or "bug" he drops whatever he is doing immediately and comes running! Even at 3 am if I see a bug in the bathroom and he's sound asleep! Haha

I was not a fan of two middle names at first. My DH has two middle names and so do all my step kids. I nevet thought I'd do that with our kids but the names I have picked out so far both have two middle names and I love them! Haha I think if you like it, go for it!

That's interesting about the second middle name being overlooked though. For our boys name we've picked 3 family names but plan to call him the second middle name. It ended up in the second spot just because I like the sound of the 3 names in a certain order. Hope we don't have issues with that. Hmmm maybe will have to switch the first name and second middle name.

The name is Phillip Adam James and planning to call him James. Maybe we should simplify the poor kids life though and do James Adam Phillip....wonder if I can get used to that. I'm so used to thinking Phillip Adam James now though. Phillip is my DH's name and both our dad's names so it's a big time family thing but I can't deal with calling another person Phillip! My nephew is also Phillip after my dad so it's just too many Phillips. So because I told DH no to calling a boy Phillip I agreed to give the name too billing for genealogical purposes but said we had to go by a middle name instead. Adam and James are my two brothers.
 
Congrats on the new boys!

Welcome to the new ladies!

Glad you had a good scan yo yo!

Sorry I had so much to catch up on! I had a great mother's day :) Hard to believe that next year I will have 2 on mother's day!
 
So pleased all looked well, yoyo!

Looking forward to hearing more gender reveals this week. Good luck to all those having anatomy scans!
 
I think my belly bump doubled in size over night. I have "popped" since yesterday. I went to a bridal shower on Saturday and people were nervously asking my friends mom "I thought you said Elsa was pregnant" before coming up to me to ask about the pregnancy. Apparently I still didn't look pregnant due to my outfit and everyone's been shocked that I'm 18 weeks along.

In other news, I have my anatomy scan tomorrow:).

I'm a little nervous about it, only because I've been gaining so very little. I've been feeling lots of movement since last week so I know the baby's fine. I'm just nervous that my first trimester weight loss paired with minimal weight gain back might be affecting the baby (only gained back 3 lbs and still down 7 lbs from my pre-pregnancy weight). I don't have any reason to think it is affecting the baby, but I'm nervous that I'll go tomorrow and find out s/he is measuring small.

I am excited to find out the gender though:). Anyone else experiencing/experienced weight concerns on the not gaining end?
