*October Bumpkins*2014* 43 Babies Born!

[MamaMac123]

Yay Fides!!! So excited to have more twins in here! And way to go adding 2 more girls to the group! Love the scan pics!

AllStar - I knit I've only been doing it since October, when I re-learned everything I'd forgotten as a little girl I currently have just the baby jumper on the go, and will start the new blanket shortly.

I can't seem to get my head around crochet! I don't know why, because technically it seems like it should be do-able, but yeah, I just can't do it.

That's how I feel about knitting. I've tried and tried and I can't get it! Crochet on the other hand I can do super easy!

Congrats fides, just catching up. I bet after the shock it was amazing news for you.
Double the fun!

Mrs Eleflump, I can't knit! I've tried once or twice but just couldn't get the hang of it but I taught myself to crochet a couple of years ago from a book and youtube videos and I love it. Can't wait to do some baby things. Was planning doing a little jumper/cardigan for his/her coming home outfit.

Lol, I've heard most people can do one or the other, not both...I have a friend who does both, very envious of her, she's really good. She taught me again a few months ago.

Even though I've got the basics down now, I still don't really understand how knitting works, which makes it almost impossible for me to fix any mistakes I make, so I just have to be really careful I don't make any

Aww, so cute I'm hoping the jumper I'm knitting will be a bit big to begin with, as it's 0-3 size, but at least it shouldn't be too small and/or outgrown in a week or two! It's emerald green so will be nice nearer Christmas.

I can crochet bit can't knit also!

Ive crocheted a dress some booties and about 6 hats and im onto my third cardigan now.

I taught myself how to when I was pregnant with the twins I could never teach myself how to knit even though I tried heaps.

I'm a knitter too! Only really started properly in October last year so was extremely proud to knit my sons first Xmas jumper! My mum & mil both knit so I'm lucky to be able to get 1 to 1 tuition whenever I need it! (Or I use YouTube if it's late at night!) The more I do the easier it's getting. Just finished a lace cardigan for a friends baby & my first pair of booties for our littlest boy.

I can't however get my head around crochet. My friend tried to show me but I just don't get it! My mil however can do both.

Here's pictures of the stuff I got. Excuse my dog for photo bombing she just wanted to see if anything was for her. Plus she's nosy and an attention whore!

The chair is my favorite thing!

My dog photo bombed nursery pic! Do you just have one dog?

Aw it's lovely when you make something for your LOs and you feel so happy and proud when they wear it my sons favourite hat last winter was one I made him.

Would be lovely to see some pics if and when you ladies make some knitted/crochet items

I taught myself crochet this winter after I lost my job. I never tried knitting. I am making my friend a baby blanket and when I find out the gender I am going to work on some hats and blankets for our pumpkin

I have one other dog. He's not as nosy as she is! Whenever I go shopping she digs through bags in hopes of finding something for herself!

On another note my husband and I went to babies-r-us today and he started telling me we aren't going to buy a crib until after he's born. I had a little melt down and had to explain to him there's something in a woman's brain that is pre - programmed to make sure everything is ready before the baby is born.

We ended up doing a registry and I had a little meltdown again when I was in an aisle with breast pumps and I had no idea what to even look at. My lovely husband did everything he could to make me laugh and start enjoying myself.

I feel a little better but still very overwhelmed at everything there is. I know I'll have everything I need, but it's hard not to freak out a little. At least for me it is.

I bought my daughter a big sister shirt today. Getting ready for our gender reveal, I also bought little brother and little sister onesies. I am going to have my daughter (wearing her big sister shirt) hold both of them up for one picture and in another picture hold up just the little brother or little sister one. My ultrasound isn't until the 30th, but I don't get into the city much where I can buy the shirts so I picked them up today. I will return whichever one I don't end up using.

18 weeks today and have not been feeling too good. I was gagging a lot earlier today but still haven't thrown up at all.

Ignore the mess behind my daughter in the one picture, she insists her toys must be in the kitchen.

Rbourre- cute pics, where did you find the bi sister shirt at?

Make sure you check your insurance BEFORE you register for a breast pump / accessories. Most insurances are now required to cover a breast pump to a mother at NO cost under the new health care legislation. I already got my pump with my toddler and was so elated not to shell out $400!

It is overwhelming for me, too. My mom has been helping me a lot with trying to figure out what I should register for

zephyr - those are soooo cute! I wish I could make clothes.

Oh and 20 weeks today! have my scan tomorrow morning.

I was sitting here just before and felt something in my ribs and thought "surely not, its too soon for rib kicks" so I pushed down on the side that was getting pressure let go once it eased and got some short very strong kicks right where my hand was and more of the rib pressure.
think baby was doing a big stretch ahaha
movement has definitely kicked up the last couple of days.
