*October Bumpkins*2014* 43 Babies Born!

[CharlieKeys]

I'm really struggling today. I feel low about putting weight on when it took me nearly 8 months to lose 3st. I'm annoyed because the only thing I can stomach is bread, cheese and junk food.

I'm annoyed because I feel like crap, so haven't done anything today and, my kids have driven me up the wall. I have never been so frustrated with them before, all because my patience has just disappeared today.

It doesn't help that at the moment we live with the in laws and they do absolutely NOTHING around the house to help me. The rule is whoever cooks doesn't wash up. I cook every night, wash their clothes, sort their washing out ...the least they could bloody do is the washing up.

Sorry rant over

Just seen there's a November babies group appeared-no longer the newest baby group! Feels like times finally moving!!

Welcome to the new ladies and congrats on your bfps!

Love the scan pics and glad things are going well for all of you ladies!

Things are going well for me, I suppose. DH finally told his dad that we're expecting again and I took that as a green light to start telling people! I've told my mom and she is so excited! She was planning a trip to come see us early on in the summer but she now says she's going to push it back to October so she can be here for the birth of grand baby #3! She especially wants to be here this time since she missed my son's birth.. I would have liked for her to be here for his birth but I think I enjoyed the experience even more with it just being my DH and I. Sorry I don't post much, but it so hard to keep up with you ladies and tbh sometimes I feel a little like I'm not all together really a part of this group.

Hope all is well with you ladies. Good luck to those with scans soon and good luck with patience for those who still have to wait a while for their scans.

La mere--how exciting that you have started sharing your news!! I can't wait for that day! We are waiting about 3 more weeks. Seems like forever!

That's great that your mom will be able to make it this time--it was such a blessing with our #1 to have everyone so close.

Some days will be harder than others, but you can do it! Hopefully your family will become more supportive.

Wow I've just had my first nap. After doing absolutely nothing! The tiredness has really kicked in today.

La Mere - it must be nice to start sharing the news! Glad all is well.

Congratulations again on your little bean!

Oh, I know! The wait was killing me! I even told my "adopted" dad yesterday (he and his wife are really good friends of my DH and I, but are about the same age as my mom. My dad passed away a few months before my daughter was born) and he was really excited too! I was lucky with my daughter as most of my family lived just one state away (we were in Oklahoma and they were all back in Texas) Which depending on who was coming was anywhere from a 4-8 hour drive.. compare that to a 12 hour or more drive now from Texas to Colorado. I will just be very happy to see my mom again since I haven't seen her in over 2 years (the last time we saw each other was my daughter's 1st birthday).

Thanks, Loopy Laura! How are you feeling?

 

[SoBlessedMama]

Thanks, la mere : ) I hope it works out for everyone to be close this time!

 

[Loopy Laura]

Hi La Mere, apart from feeling tired (and a bit grumpy as a result!) I'm ok thanks. How about you?

 

[La Mere]

Thanks, la mere : ) I hope it works out for everyone to be close this time!

You're welcome! I hope so too!

We told our eldest daughter today, she's very excited about a baby sister (she doesn't like boys at the moment lol) and we let her tell her grandad which was cute also told my mum eeeeeeek.
I want my two girls, oh, mum and my best friend is coming over from NZ to be there when I have the baby at home. Can not wait were gonna turn the little bedroom into a "birth room" where I can put my pool, and will have affirmations on the wall, candles music. Eeeeeek. Will he perfect to bring my little rainbow into the world in calm and peace. xx

I bought 2 pairs of maternity pants today. I'm too bloated to wear my regular jeans and I didn't want to just buy a bigger pair since I will just grow out of those too. One pair is maternity but it doesn't have the big belly band just a stretchy part on the front so I will wear those ones for now. I also bought a maternity bathing suit yesterday since I couldn't pass up the deal on it.

Aww that's lovely!

A birth room all calm sounds a lovely way to bring a baby into the world!

My eldest found out today too-she said she wants a sister as boys are annoying!

Charliekeys - sorry you feel down today! I can relate with the weight loss. After the twins I worked so hard for a year to lose 25 kgs and now it's all piling on again sucks.

 

[ljo1984]

I get boys are stinky ha ha. X

 

[Krippy]

May I join? Due October 16th and can't wait. I have for once been losing weight this pregnancy but I have been so sick that I can understand why...Also on a low-glycemic diet to avoid GD and have a successful VBAC! Happy to be here!

 

[ToughhGal]

Anyone else have a tiny dizzy spell yet?

 

[hopettc3]

La mere: I know how you feel. I miss a day or two and I feel like I have missed so much. There are so many ladies on here its hard to really feel a part of it, but I'm trying.
I will definitely look into the pea to pumpkin book!

I'm 7 weeks now and still feeling nauseous. My dd is happy to learn that baby is growing and is now the size of a blueberry! I can't wait till the end of each week to learn which fruit baby is the size of! It gives me something to look forward to.

 

[kel21]

Charliekeys I can relate about the weight loss too! I recently lost over 20 lbs (pretty sure that's why I got pg) on a calorie controlled diet and it is coming back quicker than I would like!

I finally got my doppler and actually found baby! 157-160 hr.

Hi La Mere, apart from feeling tired (and a bit grumpy as a result!) I'm ok thanks. How about you?

I am doing pretty well, tired most of the time though. Also slowly increasing MS now that I am about 6.5 weeks. But the fun has only just started as Dh has given the green light to start telling people!

Welcome, Krippy! Congrats on your bfp! You're due the day after me and that happens to be my mom's birthday, lol!

Anyone else have a tiny dizzy spell yet?

Yep! Had 'em with both my other pregnancies and this one doesn't seem to be an exception. Though I have problems with low blood sugar to begin with.. so long as I don't go too long without eating or get to hot, I am usually fine!

It's nice to know, I'm not the only one who feels that way! It's so hard to get on everyday when I have to other kiddos that need looking after! Happy 7 weeks! I'll be 7 weeks on this upcoming Wednesday! I love seeing what fruit baby is going to be the size of too! Haha, still hard to believe how quickly they grow from say a pea (which baby is now) to a watermelon or jack fruit! (Can't remember which comes first on the ticker once it is that far along!)
