PAL - February 2013 rainbow babies

[PerpetualMama]

We had a ton of wind, massive rains, and widespread power outages throughout my state and the ones around us. Aside from some missing garage roof shingles, and a big branch hanging precariously in the upper part of our tree, we have no damage. We could not light a fire in the stove for heat since the winds were so strong, but thankfully it did not get too too cold. My house is far enough from the coast that we did not get flooding, and my direct area did not lose power (Thank God! Last year's storm took it for a week!) We only got the outer edges of the storm, as opposed to the direct eye hit further south of us. Still 2 days stuck in the house with all the kids and DH (Whose work was closed) while I TRIED to do homework and study. I think havng them all constantly up my @$$ for 2 days was the worst effect of Sandy

Happy V-Day, ladies! What a relief that milestone is!

Perpetual, how'd you make out?

Does anyone have any experience with having a 'short cervix'?

I do not know what that is?

Morning ladies, just popping on briefly while I'm trying to get ready for work (still sitting with wet hair & need to leave in about 10 min!)

Hope you're all well, I'm very happy that today is v-day for me Part of me cant believe I've made it this far, but I'm really happy & relieved to be so far along. Despite having AP I'm feeling regular kicks/punches which are fantastic. We're still debating going for a private gender scan, we didnt do it with my son but a small part of me feels if we knew it would help in getting organised but then I think finding out the gender is about the only surprise left at the end of pregnancy. Cant make up my mind what to do!!!

Happy V Day!

And Perpetual, I'm so glad you came through Sandy ok, and hope this next storm isn't too rough.

Happy v day lulu x this is the first time i have found out gender I'm so glad I did ....would say it's saved me loads of money on neutral things but I've just spent it on girlie things

I think that's what I'll end up doing if we find out. It's mainly because I'm so impatient! It would be easier to get organised (i.e. buy lots of the right clothes) but its not essential that we find out. I really cant decide what to do

see if baby feels like showing you? Even if you find out, you still have weight and length, birthdate, and who does baby look like to look forward to

So happy seeing all of the V days coming and passing, it's totally amazing this wonderful journey we're all on! Today I came into "double digits" 99 days to go till I hopefully meet my little man, his nursery is almost finished (those interested pictures in my journal on page 5 I think) starting to get tired again now, its interesting how many changes we go through, I'd read some of te books but nothing prepared me for everything that's going on!

I hope everyone is well and love to read up on how everyone is, sorry I don't post as much as I probably should. Xx

I know what you mean about all these weeks gone past and good hurdles being passed. I suddenly do feel that my energy levels are slumping again. I'm 26 weeks today... Could sleep for a week! Baby kicks constantly... All good signs x

It's mad how many changes we go through! Happy 26 weeks I'm 26 tomorrow :happy: I know what you mean about active baby! Little man is a right little kick monster! He makes my belly bounce LOL lovely and comforting but highly annoying when I need to sleep an he wants awake kicking time! He reacts to certain people allot more than others, he especially likes my best friend he gets well excited when he hears her!

Afternoon ladies, how are you all? This thread is getting very quiet as we all get further and further along! Before we know it Christmas will be here and then we will be meeting out little ones shortly after, I'm getting incredibly nervous and excited!

Me and OH went for a sneaky peek 3D scan on Saturday and it was amazing, to say I'm in love is an understatement! He's totally gorgeous and the spitting image of his daddy (of course I'm biased) either way it was so lovely to see him again!

Hope everyone is doing well and would love to read some updates from you all! Have you started your nurseries yet? Have you been on a shopping spree for baby bits? What bits do you need to get still if any?

Hope your all well xx

 

[Wiggler]

Aww he is gorgeous!!

We don't need much as we have clothes and other bits left over from my DD, but the other bits we do need we are getting in the January sales as I love a bargain

Thanks Wriggler

Jan sales is great, I've been getting bits and bobs on eBay, I've had a few cracking bargains! I got his wardrobe still on sale for £300 for £15 that has to be my best bargain so far, I've had a couple of pleasant surprises from mamas and papas things have been in the sale but not marked up! We've had to buy everything, although my friend gave me all of her sons baby clothes so its fair to say this little fella has way more clothes than me and his father put together! Xxx

 

[Wiggler]

Brilliant bargains! The most pricey thing I have to get this time is the double electric breast pump, I am still looking at them, but so glad OH finally agreed to get me it
