September Snugglers 2016

[Hope16]

Nursery Carpet is installed! It's so thick and plush! Very happy with the way it came out

 

[psychochick]

campn: yes you are right about the lunar age. I try to ignore lunar age cuz it makes me even older!! In that case, the one calendar using lunar age predicted a girl! We will see if it's right.

mumma: :X yeah I know 30 is young compared to many people on here too!

hope: o man that's nice. we haven't done anything for the nursery yet

 

[campn]

I wanted to apologize to all of you about saying how I haven't felt like I've made any friendships on here, that's not at all true. I feel extremely horrible and stupid and wish I could take it back. Pregnancy truly makes you feel so alone some times even if you're not. The truth is that you're all very supportive and all very friendly. I'm sorry!

If you are okay with it I'd like to join you ladies again.

Campn, no judgement here. I just told-off my mom for interrupting me and ended the phone call. Although it might have been justified, probably not a good idea, and not something I would normally do.

Campn, pregnancy is so weird. I've been an emotional wreck this time for sure. I hope this roller coaster slows down soon. Welcome back!!

I understand hun! My mom likes to call me every single day and she wants to chat for 1 hour about totally nothing while I've a toddler to chase and chores to do. She doesn't understand that I don't have the time to talk on the phone for an hour and thinks I'm mad at her when I don't pick up. Sometimes I just tell her I'll call you when I can and I feel so guilty about it.

Sorry I have been mia for while but, the sleepiness is getting to me. I sleep in day with dd during nap time and by night I just am looking for excuse to go to sleep. Recently dh is putting dd to sleep.

campn, welcome back. No one is gonna judge you here. Hormones do makes us feel alone sometimes.

hopie, so Sorry you are having rough time with ms and your mother being not well. But, it will pass soon. Hang in there.

Congratulations unifor baby girl. And I am showing too.

hope, nice and cozy looking carpet. We haven't started yet. But, will see after we find out gender.

Afm, I definitely have bump now and 12weeks already so, officially in second trimester right? Have my appointment on Saturday and already excited about it but, something seems to be bothering me which I can't put my finger on.
Chinese gender chart have been correct for dd hope it's right this tine too. I tried baking powder instead of baking soda which doesn't count right?　it has to be baking soda?

Campn - welcome back. Honestly hormones are crazy things ... I can honestly cry over anything at the moment xx

 

[LoraLoo]

Welcome back Campn xx

Congrats on the pink bundle Uni- I'm so happy for you 😊

Sweetly- I think 14 weeks is second tri buying could've wrong.

Hope everyone is well. My toddler has broke my phone and it's in for repair so not been online much.
It's finally my dating scan tomorrow!

 

[xanzaba]

Chinese gender chart says boy this time around (correct), but was wrong for my other 2 pregnancies. Hoping that means that this time around is different

 

[Just1more2]

Welcome back campn!! Once a snuggler always a snuggler. No hurt feelings here, I will add you back to the first page. Will you remind me of your DD again so I don't have to scour this whole thread?

Sweety - It does have to be baking soda, but I have heard mixed conclusions for that theory as with all wives tales.

I really wish I didn't have to wait so long to find out our gender! I just want to know if my intuition has been right again this time!! Pregnancy involves so much waiting... ugh!! So totally worth it in the end thought!!

 

[campn]

Thank you sweet ladies!

I'm due on September 20th!

Have people been trying to guess the gender for you? Like friends and family? I always find it so weird that they usually all guess so right when I can't guess for myself! I'm also able to guess for others but not me.

 

[Sweety21]

Loraloo, uuhhh! another week to get going then. How are things with you.

just1more, then my prediction with baking powder is useless. Have to go and hunt for soda. I wonder why it is difficult to find it here. And you are right waiting sucks. But, in the end worth it.

campn, my family is guessing boy for me this time. Have no idea why they feels so.

 

[Lallie81]

Welcome back campn!

Lovely to catch up on what everyone is doing/ buying/ preparing! Am so far behind you all! Just had my 12 week appt today with NT scan scheduled for Sunday. Dr was most unimpressed today as I had an empty bladder plus baby was moving like crazy so she couldn't get a good picture or measurement... Oh dear, what is coming my way??!!

Anyway, here's my little Splot measuring 2 days smaller (because we couldn't get it to stay still for a proper measurement) staring right at us while it's heart was beating away at 168bpm Hoping for better pics on Sunday

 

[Hope16]

I got the results from my Harmony test and it confirms 100% boy! the ultrasound technician was right with her guess! More importantly, everything came back normal...no abnormalities with baby. Thank goodness!

 

[Just1more2]

Campn - Really only OH and I have guessed. I haven't heard much from family on that front. But my midwife does say she thinks girl, too and she says that she is rarely wrong (been doing it for over 20 years!!)

We will see on April 18th if baby cooperates!!

Don't feel bad, I have done NOTHING for baby yet except buying some onesies and a carseat. We intend to move to a new state before baby is born, so there is not really a point preparing too much right now...

 

[xanzaba]

Thank you, campn- you inspired me to reach out to my mom and make peace. It was good to do now before a lot of time passed and it became awkward. She was having a bad day, and I was busy, and we laughed it off. Now everything is peaceful and happy and back to normal

 

[campn]

Lal- I'm only 13+1 so I'm also a little behind from everyone but I've learned that a month difference isn't long since some have babies early and some have them late.

Xan- I'm so happy to hear that! Pregnancy really makes us an emotional mess! Last night I cried cause DH is traveling for work and I'm alone with DS and I'm exhausted and can't catch a break so anything makes me cry now. Oh dear lawd! It's even worse once you have the baby!

I posted my NT scan "nub shot" on the gender prediction and most of the ladies guessed girl, also most of my friends and family guessed girl but I feel like it'll be another boy cause I really want a girl

 

[hopie2015]

Such great updates from everyone! Hope congrats on the boy and excellent test results!

Welcome back Campn! Congrats also on the excellent NT measurements!
It sure must be hard early months of pregnancy and with a little one at home, and dh traveling. I can't wait 'til my pregnancy irritability eases. I also have snapped at both my parents..who are ill..so I feel even more terrible. Some days I just feel like I can barely cope between the ms and all. Each night I say a prayer for forgiveness! Today I'm trying harder. It is hard!

So I feel geriatric now after reading everyone's ages! I did the Chinese gender chart and said 'cannot figure out given your age'. My age is on the chart..it's not that bad! So tried few times and it came back as girl. But Campn said has to be lunar age- whatever that is- so I made myself a year older and it comes back boy. Is this thing at all for real?
Baking soda gave me a girl result!

Sorry others are also struggling with sickness. I hate I still have to take Zofran. I hope today finds everyone feeling better!
I am going to read up now on how to tame these pregnancy moods..

 

[Just1more2]

Campn - I know how you feel. We will be moving to a new state at the end of the school year since DH was offered a job he cant refuse that will allow me to stay home with the baby.
He will begin work there about 2 months before me and DS are ready to join him there so we will be alone for that whole time. We have never been away from each other for more than a day or two at a time. This will be really hard.
