*October Bumpkins*2014* 43 Babies Born!

[kel21]

I like Maxwell Parker. We haven't decided on any names for this little one really, probably just going to wait until we meet them to decide on a name just like we did with their big sister and brother. But we (meaning I, ) do have a list going.

Have any of you ladies been convinced that you knew what you were having only by the fact you could only think of names for only one gender or the other? With my daughter I could really only think of girl names, but thought she was a boy anyway and with my son I could only think of boy names... so far with this one I am only having luck with girl names.. could it be a sign?LOL

Kel- My Dh's name is Benjamin Andrew and my son's name is Samuel Owen, lol.

Good luck to the with GD tests coming up. Fx'd for negative results!

Lol!

well ladies, looks like I failed the the hour test too

Oh no - they tell you that quick? I don't find out till tomorrow. What are the next steps for you? Sorry to hear that but at least you will be closely monitored

 

[Loopy Laura]

I'm loving the names. If I was to have a boy it would have been Benjamin but I agree that I found girls names a lot easier and that's what I'm having. Mine will be Chloe Freya.

Yeah, the clinic I go to is attached to the hospital, so the samples don't have to go very far.

I have to meet a specialist and try and control with diet, if I can't then I have to do insulin.

So lucky i passed my glucose test!

On the subject of names our baby is been called Alistair, we're double barrelling our surnames too so his name has ended up sounding like a doctor lol!

I'm sure you will be able to control it with diet.

So many boy names! They are all so cute! We had a really hard time coming up with boy names before we found out we were having a girl. You guys have some really great ideas As for us, our girl is named Elysia Marie (uh-lee-see-uh) and we call her Ellie for short. After this Sunday I only have 10 weeks left until due date! Holy cow!!

I love your girls' name. Our youngest is named Eliana Noelle and we call her Ellie for short as well.


Newylwed, I am sorry to hear that you didn't pass. Please don't let it get you down. Prayers that you'll have an easy time controlling it with diet.


AFM I had an appt. with my OB this afternoon. I gained a few pounds since the last visit. I am still down 13 lbs from pre-pregnancy weight but I am moving in the right direction at least. The baby looks and sounds great so I couldn't ask for anything more. Oh except the exam room they had put me in had just been painted the night before, the fumes were so noxious It took all I had not be sick all over their floors.

JM - Hearty congratulations on your Feb baby!!! The picture is just perfect. I could see the little cord and placenta too. Have a healthy & happy 9 months.

Lovely names all you ladies! We are going to wait until the baby is here.

Newlywed - Sorry about the test. I understand how horrible it is to have diet restrictions during ripe months of pregnancy!

I just got my glucose test results but I'm not sure whether it is a pass or a fail?
The plasma level on fast and in the first hour after glucose are within the range but the second hour level is a little over. It should have been <153 and it is 168. I'll have to wait until Saturday for my OB to tell me what exactly that means. It looks like a fail to me.

Signed up for classes since last weekend and DH is all shaken up about my labor time. He is too sensitive to pain and he was saying that if he saw me bawling in pain... he would just faint.

I want my maternity / pregnancy photoshoot in August 2nd week... i.e., 31~32ish weeks. And we plan to co-sleep with the baby in the bassinet atleast until he starts rolling over. Just a matter of convenience as Zephyr said.

Have my 28 week ultrasound this Saturday ... eek Can't wait to see the LO... its been over 2 months since I last saw him. He must be much bigger now!

Thank you. They wanted my one hour to be under 140 and it was 149, so I had to go back for the 3 hour.

Sorry everyone dealing with the failed glucose tests. I'm worried about that one myself. Not sure when I'll have it yet. Probably will get it scheduled at my next apt.

We are going to be cloth diapering our little ones. I just ordered the last few diapers we need can't wait till they arrive!

We are going to have the twins sleeping in a pack n play (with the bottom raised up to the higher point) next to my side of the bed at least for the first little bit. Once they start rolling they'll need to go to their own beds.

Love all the names! We're going with Brooke Alishea Rose and James Phillip Adam. We already call them Brooke and a James.

25 Weeks Today! Yay!

Back in January before I got pregnant we bought tickets to see Katy Perry. The concert is tomorrow night! I'm super excited but also nervous about how I'll handle being at a concert for several hours. Hope the people in front of me don't want to stand the entire time or I won't make it!

Those are adorable newlywed! And am I understanding that you failed your 3 hour test as well? If so I'm sorry that sucks! Hopefully it'll be just as easy as adjusting your diet and not needing insulin.

I've been visiting with my sister this past week, and have got to spend lots of time with my nieces and nephew. I was most excited about my nephew since I haven't been able to see him much since his dad got custody a few years ago. And I absolutely hate to say that he annoys me. I love him, oh I do! But ever since his dad got custody he's turned into such a brat! He's 6 years old and never wants to do anything for himself. He literally cried yesterday morning because no one would cut his waffles for him, cause he didn't want to do it himself. I wanted to be more excited and I feel awful for being annoyed by him. I just hope he gets better when he's older!

I did, thank you. I'm hoping so too. I have a friend that just had a baby that also had gestational diabetes so I know I'm going to lean on her a lot for advice and support.

Hi ladies sorry I've been Mia lately. Since we got back from vacation it's been nuts around here. I seriously feel like there aren't enough hours in the day. I've been having some insomnia which makes it so much worse because I'm wide awake at night and feeling so tired during the day. Ugh. Nothing I do feels like it's working out...lol it's probably all in my head but every time I call the 3d place I have to leave a message and no one is calling back. It's across the hall from our obgyn and when I had my appt on Wednesday at 9am they weren't even open..with no hours posted but the sign says walk ins welcome...like hello how can I walk in if you don't post your hours or return your calls.

Frustrating....

On top of that my laptop crashed awhile back and I've been spending so much time trying to fix it because I want to make decorations in my cricut machine and print stuff for my baby shower next weekend.

Speaking of that, I we were originally doing co-Ed but dh said no do just girls so when I sent the invites out I addressed just girls and now that people are Rsvping it's turning Into a co-Ed party anyway so I'm praying right now that we have beautiful weather because 40 people are not going to fit inside my sisters house. Eeek!!!

I honestly can not wait for it to all be over with.....

Sorry for the major vent. Baby showers are stressful when to couple it with lack of sleep

My lil one is going to be Ethan Michael

Going to book a 3D scan today for the next week or too as I really want to see him again

2:30am and I can't sleep cause LO is rolling up a storm. She's very active tonight. It's quite uncomfortable I love feeling her move but her rolling around hurts more than the kicks/punches! I wonder if baby moving causes so much pain for anyone else or if I'm just alone! It doesn't seem normal.. She's causing me BHs too by rolling around on my bladder making me have to pee
