PAL Spring 2011 babies - Welcome Mason, Iris, Lily, Isaac, Luca & Dominic !!!!

Hey Neens, why are you team yellow?

I'm considering joining your team and would love to hear your reasons!

I caused controversy last time I expained this and don't want to offend others - it's just my preference.

For one - I feel it will be just the best surprise and just add to the whole experience for me. I also look forward to hubby telling me what flavour we've got - I imagine it will be one of those memories that stays with me for ever. I also want everyone else around us to guess and have a surprise too.

My other reason is based on a bug bear that I've got. Now don't get me wrong I have names which I like - a shortlist if you will, and I expect when I have the baby I will have a very good idea what the babys name will be if it is either sex. And I will announce the name when baby is born - what I really don't like (I'm sorry to those who do this - remember only my opinion) is when people have the gender scan and then pick the name and start calling it by the name from then. I have people on Facebook who irritate me on a daily basis by saying things like "me and Jasmine are going into town" - Jasmine is not due for another 15 weeks!! It drives me loopy! What if that baby does not 'look' like a Jasmine when she comes out?? Now i've nothing against people who choose their babies names early on but I just don't like the whole calling them by that name to everyone before they are even born!

Now don't get me wrong - I will be dying to find out what I've got but I will be stong at te 20 week scan and not ask! Above all I just want the surprise!!

I'm going to sneak off now before people start throwing things at me!!!!!! loves xxx

dont feel bad for ur opinion hunny ur saying or doing nothing wrong and i wont be throwing anything at u, i think ur opinion is valid and honest and its ur baby hunny ur choice :0 xxx

hugs Jenny - we are all here for you! Is there something specific you are worrying about or are you just having a wobble?

I keep getting pains in my tummy. It's not a strong pain or sharp and its only every now and then. Really hope its just my guts giving me gip xx

i've done lots of knicker checking today (ok and previous days as well) but yay yay yay,
the only thing i've got today is more nausea and no spotting/bleeding.
i'm going to be so happy tomorrow to be at 8 weeks, like "yesss made it"

 

[mislaww]

Thanks everyone for your opinions!

8 weeks tiny - that's great!

Hugs Jenny!

 

[jenny25]

[Beadette]

I know what you mean hun! hugs xxxxx

 

[roonsma]

all round for forthcoming scans x

Well done TB, eight weeks is great

Hello to baby blob, lol! x

I feel poop today, dunno if i'm coming down with something? Been to an NCT sale and it was great, got some lovely clothes for my LO, tons of newborn stuff but i resisted! I did buy a tiny love cot mobile for £8, was £39.99 new so couldn't stop myself!

Have a good weekend all xx

 

[Mummy2Angel.]

Totallly agree neen! i probably will find out gender and we'll think of names, but wont have anything definate because it might not look like a 'george' when it comes out, and i have to agree also with the name calling before birth......its drives me buts

Midwife for booking app on monday ..... finally......i was supposed to have it at 9/10 weeks! they got the dates muddled so i wont end up getting dating scan till 14 weeks probably x

 

[Firedancer41]

Thanks Neens! ^^^ Sorry, I didn't mean to get you in trouble! If anyone is bothered, it's my fault, not hers! I asked!

I hear you - we have a boy name and a girl name picked out, but I want alternates in case the names don't fit (Hubby says that's ridiculous - it's a squishy baby, how could a name not fit?). But I think that can happen!

Roonsma, don't want to get anyone in trouble, but I'd love to hear your reasons for team yellow too!

I'm Team Yellow, too-this is our 5th *yellow* babe! I just enjoy the excitement of learning in the delivery room (although with my 3rd, the dr. I think assumed I knew and didn't say anything LOL I was like, what is it??)

I know some people like to be prepared and get the room decorated, I am the opposite... I figure all I truly need for baby to come home is diapers, some snappy suits (we have lots of yellow LOL) blankets
(got plenty) and a crib and bassinette. The rest, and decorating the room, can come later. Last time I did have a boy crib set picked out...I will do the same again. If it's a boy, I will order it online, if it's a girl, I already have a girl crib set

 

[braijackava]

Maybe its the pregnancy mood swings, but I just had this sudden urge to not find out the sex either?!?! Weird, but I might actually do it this time. This is my last baby and I always wanted to not find out for one of them. My kids might kill me, but it would be fun. So now advice from those of you who have done this. Do you just go on a big shopping spree after the baby is born? Sounds fun to me =)

 

[Lianne1986]

i'll be finding out the sex at my scan, hopefully i will get the scan date this week, i found out with tyler too x

 

[Mummy2Angel.]

I'm now also feeling undecided about whether to find out or not lol..... the thought of taking my new wee baby out into town in its lovely new pram and doing the shopping then sounds fun insted of having everything ready x

 

[jenny25]

paul and i talked last night about it and we have both decided to find out the sex of the baby too but we are not telling anyone well i will tell you guys as long as its not posted on my facebook wall , we had a big in depth talk last night and i said it was for my own reasons and for what we have been through we obv wont be buying anything to represent the sex of the baby it willl all be as if we dont know but we want to give everyone a big surprise xxx

 

[Tulip]

Oooh I have lots of new yellow-themed tickers to create tomorrow Look what you've started, Neen! xxx

 

[Beadette]

I have to say that I do understand why people want to be prepared and one of my friends was sick to death of beige and cream by the time baby arrived but I think that there are some better gender neutral nurserys etc now. The nursery I want is hodge podge!! It's so bright and cute and defo for either sex - I would probably have the same even if I did know the sex!

I'm going to get a little blue outfit and a little pink outfit I think to pack in my hospital bag.

Wow it's all so exciting! X
