*October Bumpkins*2014* 43 Babies Born!

[busytulip]

Mushymilkfor2 I purchased the udder cover as well as the carseat canopy for the price of shipping and can honestly say that if I had spent the retail amount on either product I would have been very upset. That old saying 'you get what you pay for' definitely comes to mind. The material is a cheap feeling linen. I was very glad that I had only paid the cost of shipping. The nursing cover I would not recommend purchasing at all. And the carseat canopy would best be used in warm weather for shade. I hope that is helpful.

10 boys and only 4 girls!? Buck up team pink!!!

I so want a girl... and I won't know until October. So jealous of all your gender reveals and reveal parties! But I'm so happy for all of you at the same time

Anatomy scan is 22days away. My baby's heartrate which was initially 155 went to 136 during my last visit. Girl or boy? I can't even guess with such variations.

And 17 weeks today! Yay!!

Welcome to the new ladies!

Aww so happy for you

 

[whigfield]

Yee another boy! We need some more girls to even out the odds!

Thought I would upload a couple of pictures from the twins 2nd birthday today! Was a big day but we all had fun. Woke up feeling much better this morning which also helped

Congratulations on the little boy

I've spoke to a few other people about my appointment today and I'm going to go to the Drs tomorrow and see what they say. Also I'm going to look a bit more into these 'parenting classes' as I cant find anything on them at all in my area. Not sure why I'm being offered them when everyone else I know that has a baby recently hasnt ever had to go!

You don't have to go to parenting classes at all! It's not compulsory. Only do it if you want to Are they pushing you?
Personally I find that sort of thing patronising.

Hope your doctors more helpful-mine was better than all the other uncaring professionals I have had to deal with.

Yeah she was really pushing them on me I'm not sure if it's because I'm quite young (24) or still look like I'm younger than I am (I'm constantly ID'd for everything!) but she was just so patronising.

I have three young cousins that I have been very involved with so I do know one end of a baby from another but she was literally implying that I had to go

I don't know what it is healthcare professionals





On another note I've just spotted a due in January thread . . . Things are definitely moving on now!

 

[zephyr]

Thanks, im still wondering where the last two years have gone.
its 8:03 pm here. 2 years ago today I would of been getting ready to push shortly. They had to pull an ob out of theatre cos they thought they would have time but things went very fast and babies would not wait!
Max was born at 8:55pm and Aria at 9:37pm.

 

[AllStar]

Lovely photos Zephyr times goes so fast when you have little ones doesn't it. I can't believe my little man will be 4 in a few weeks!

 

[vickyandchick]

Congrats mushy! So many boys in this group, I think baby is a boy but reckon it'll turn out that we're having a girl
Zephyr your twins are adorable, lovely photos too

I keep getting horrendous nosebleeds 2 weeks left till my 20 week scan

 

[cntrygrl]

Welcome Chelle

Mushymilk Congrats on the boy!

My baby's heart rate has been in the 170's. We'll see come gender scan next month.

 

[Mushymilkfor2]

Zephyr, your twins are soooo stinking cute! The looks are their faces cutting the cake is adorable!

 

[GeralynB]

So I just read that pregnant women shouldn't use face products with salicylic acid? I was never told and I have been using it all along!

Yes i heard that early on in my pregnancy so I stopped using it

So many boys! I want a boy but I am convinced it's a girl! I won't find out until our reveal party June 8, which also happens to be or first wedding anniversary!

So exciting!

 

[kel21]

Cute pics zephyr! Time really does fly! My little man will be 8 in a couple of weeks, it just seems like I gave birth to him only a couple of years ago, not 8!

Newlywed I need to go check my face cream is there anything we can use or eat? Lol

My heart rate has ranged from the low 130's to mid 160's so I can't even go off of hear rate for old wives tales! Lol I'm starting to feel like it is a boy now though.

Congrats milky, I just ordered the car seat canopy with my coupon and only paid $12.95 for shipping I'm excited to received it. I looked at them on etsy and they were a bit expensive. I read a few reviews and a lot say they are cheap made in China but I guess I'll see when it arrives. Really I am just looking for something that will keep the wind off baby when I have to take her out. By October the weather will be getting colder. I was thinking about asking a friend who is an older women to sew me something up but for $12.95 I couldn't refuse.

I really like the look of the canopy and want to order one, but I already have 2 car seat covers. I like the canopy because it keeps nosy people from poking around at the baby.

So I just read that pregnant women shouldn't use face products with salicylic acid? I was never told and I have been using it all along!

I was never told that either, but I googled it early on and found out I shouldn't. I've always struggled with acne and salicylic acid is in basically every acne face wash.

It's May, it's the month of my anatomy ultrasound now. It's at the very end of the month (30th) but at least it's the right month now.

Is anyone else waking up every morning with a sore throat? I'm wondering if I am starting to get heartburn because I've had a burning sensation in my throat during the day and I'm waking up with a sore throat every day. It goes away once I am up and moving.

Zephyr your twins are adorable, lovely photos too

I keep getting horrendous nosebleeds 2 weeks left till my 20 week scan

If you take in extra vitamin C that will help strengthen the capillaries in your nose and cut down the nosebleeds-you could also try normal saline spray to help prevent drying out.

I do, but mine goes away when I drink something, so I think mine is because I an thirsty

Thanks everyone!

So, I ordered maternity pants online last week, and I just got them in the mail today! They're absolutely amazing, I never want to wear regular pants ever again. Haha The only issue I have is I'm 6' tall and they're kind of short. That really is a bummer about being tall, it's hard to find pants long enough as it is, I doubt I'll ever find maternity pants long enough!

It also came with gift cards for free, I had no idea I was getting them to basically get one product from free from four different things. The nursing pillow, a carseat canopy, a nursing cover and a baby sling. I'm super excited to find out the gender so I can get all those things tomorrow! I only have to pay for shipping, which is still an awesome deal!

My husband is trying to tell me that the nursing pillow isn't even worth paying the shipping. So I told him he can nurse the baby. I'm getting one anyway, he can't deny a free nursing pillow! Well, I can't at least!

I am sure the nursing pillow, carseat canopy and nursing cover are ok, but I've heard horrible reviews about the baby sling. I've heard the sizing is all wrong with them and they fit really small. I am hoping to get one of the nursing covers since it seems easier than using a blanket.

Hi, may I join? I have actually been reading this thread for months but this pregnancy has gotten off to a very rough start and I didn't want to officially say 'hi' only to publish awful news.

Initially we found out that we were expecting fraternal twins (a big surprise as we are not under fertility treatments) but sadly at 9 weeks were told that Twin A no longer had a heartbeat. I also had quite a large bleed between the babies and it was unclear whether or not Twin B would survive. I was placed on bed rest and I have seen the OB several times since then. The bleed is gone and at my check-up yesterday the surviving twin looked very healthy. We are praying the rest of the pregnancy goes well.

We still have not told any friends or family, with the exception of my MIL. We are just being very cautious.

I almost forgot to say when I was due. October 30th-so maybe a Halloween baby.

I enjoy reading all the gender reveals, we will be strictly team yellow. There is just something special about finding out at delivery-and it gives me something to look forward to during labor.

Oh Hun, your story just breaks my heart. I'm so happy your other baby is doing well. I hope the rest of your pregnancy is smooth sailing. When we found out we're having twins losing one was a huge fear to me. I'm just so very sorry it happened to you

On a more positive note, we have the same due date! Welcome to the group and baby dust and best wishes for the rest of your pregnancy! Also happy second trimester today! 14 weeks! Yay!
