Aww lovely bump

Less than 11 weeks to go, and I am so excited, not only do I have my beautiful new daughter to look forward to, but also waving goodbye to this stupid SPD finally! Kind of dreading the physio though

Saysib - We are in the early days of 'getting the house ready' mode. Last few weekends have been spent going through all DS's baby clothes, sorting them into neutral piles, then into age groups then sorting through all the 'boy' clothes into age groups. I had forgotten just how much stuff we had!

Now we need to start clearing out the spare room/office to turn it into baby's room and rearrange our room to make some space for DH to have a little office. Feels like so much to do and so little time to do it in

PM I know what you mean about getting loose in a fabric shop. I really need to contain myself at times, which is why I haven't been to one in a while I'm thinking about treating myself to a new sewing machine with some money I've been left from my grandad but I can't make up my mind if I should or not. Seems like a bit of a frivoulous expense when there are so many other things we need just now!

On a better note I've decided to have a private scan - so Sunday afternoon we will hopefully find out what our bump is!! Nervous and excited all at the same time

Quick update following our scan this afternoon ................................. we are officially team pink!!!! Think I'm still in a state of shock I have been secretly hoping for a girl since out 12 week scan when I saw 3 little lines when everything was being checked but had talked myself out of it as we already have a boy so was convincing myself there was more chance of us having another boy.

We still like the girls name we had chosen when pregnant with our son, so by the end of Feb we will have little Megan Hannah with us. Having a girl and choosing this name is so special to me as my mum, who was called Margaret, passed away when I was 20 so I've missed having her here for so many things that I feel I need to honour her memory. It seems a bit odd but I already feel closer to my mum & my baby girl

Lulu I'm pretty sure they go up to 12 months, they are from Tesco not expensive £4 and they are soft pram shoes!

I hope little one feels better soon and that you will get a better nights sleep xx

I didn't see a matching jumper I do have a gap baby grow/t shirt all in one for him that has skull and cross bones on but I don't think he has any others, I got sidetracked by the tigga stuff so he has quiet a few disney bits and I came across a cute mickey set in TK Maxx (really cute) I can't stop buying either I'm having to remind myself of how much 0-3 stuff we have, so I've been getting 3-6 and now I've bought to much of that heading up to 6-12 lol xx

 

[Lulu]

How are we all doing ladies?

I'm fighting the urge to start buying lots of really cute little girl clothes I''ve seen recently. Must get Christmas out of the way first! Really not very organised this year at all. Plus we haven't told anyone the baby's gender yet I'm paranoid that if I buy something in a shop someone will spot me!!!!

I'm trying to get ready to go out tonight, Christmas meal with my work colleagues and I'm really looking forward to it. I'm knackered already but it should be good

 

[Jessica28]

Baby shower day for me!!

 

[AllMacsNow]

I hope you have a great time, Jessica!

 

[shocker]

Ooooh exciting jessica let us know how it goes!

My little man has been misbehaving, got an infection and he tried to become a december baby! hes had injections to strengthen his lungs and im getting various injections and IVs to sort out the infection but all looks well now havnt had anymore contractions and the steroids have turned him into some sort of super strong hulk baby as his movements are quite painful now like hes wearing iron boots! Was hoping to get out today as im feeling better and honestly really bored but stuck in til monday, wish i'd packed my hospital bag or even brought my maternity notes with me when I decided to travel 3 hours away from my own maternity hospital earlier this week to do some christmas shopping with OH

 

[Mrskg]

hope you had a lovely day jessica x

I've just found this thread, a little late but I'd love to join I had my first miscarraige last year when I was 19, I didn't know I was pregnant as I'd just started taking the pill and thought that was the reason for not having a period :/ Then in November I was taken to hospital after extremely heavy bleeding and discovered I was around 13 weeks pregnant! Unfortunately 2 days later blood tests showed my hcg was decreasing and I had miscarried. I never really thought about kids before this but it made me realise how much I wanted a baby after losing mine. I got pregnant again in January and went for a scan in March at 7+5 after a very small bleed and discovered baby had no heartbeat and stopped growing at 6+3! Then in May I got pregnant again and was sure I was going to lose the baby but I am now 29+4 and expecting my baby girl on 21st February
