September Snugglers 2016

[xanzaba]

Hopie- are you going to find out about the gender with the genetic screening? We will, but I'm not going to tell anyone, except maybe the snugglers. Keep a little secret for only DH and I.

Great scan Leo!! and of course you can stay!! we would miss you!

Aman - glad your appointment went well!

Mari - I will update your DD, congrats on a good appointment!

Mumma - Elodie is my top name for a girl. I love that it has much potential for cute nicknames!! If I have a girl (which OH and I both think it is and he is rarely wrong oddly) she will be Elodie Helen Shirley if it is up to me. I named DS so I worry that OH will want to name this one.

I very much struggle to think of ANY boys names which is strange since last time that is all I could think of. I was convinced from conception that I was having a boy and I was right! This time I def feel girl. I never wanted a girl, but the idea is really growing on me. We will see in a month or so hopefully!!

As for movements, nothing on this front yet, but I can definitely feel my fundal height right above my pubic bone!

Leo - wonderful scan pic!!

Aman - glad your appt went well I am doing the genetic testing as well. I have my ultrasound and blood work booked for next week. I am in Canada, so not sure how it it works where you are. They do and ultrasound to get a tiny measurement from the baby. Then blood work is done at the exact same time. Then another round of blood work at 18 weeks.

Hopie - my sister's name is Alexandra Beautiful name! I love Alexa too.

AFM - A much better day for me today. Not feeling too sick. I love the name Isabella. AS for boys names there is nothing that has come to mind yet. We will find out the gender at 20 weeks, so that will make it a bit easier to agree on a name

Wonderful news and scan Leo! I'm so happy all who now have August due dates are staying on the SS board.

xanza- going to stay team yellow. I love surprises. Just have a feeling it's a girl but I could be totally wrong.
Going to start the blood genetic tests this week after my 12wk scan. I could have had the blood test done at 10 wks but things were so bad with my hg and my parent's health, I asked if they can just do it with the scan, if we see baby is okay.

Mari- so glad you're having a much better day! Thanks.. It is my middle name and I have always loved it.
I like Isabella too. I used to babysit one and they called her Bella. I asked OH about Bella as a name (beautiful), and he goes, 'but what if she is really ugly?" LOL

Hope everyone is feeling good today. I managed to do an exercise show and eat tons of ice cream, but of course feel sick now!

Beautiful scan pic! Glad you're staying! With DS my due date was August 28, then August 31st and DS was born September first! These babies get to choose for sure!

I just used the Doppler for the first time! I was so nervous cause the first 40 minutes I couldn't find anything. Maybe oneday they'll develop machines that give you a tiny ultrasound too!

 

[xanzaba]

Ugh, fell off a curb this morning and ended up breaking my fall with my arm, which is now broken. Also messed up my foot on the same side, and scraped my other knee. I guess I must have been protecting baby (perfectly fine) to mess up so many body parts! So worth it even if I am suffering now.

 

[MeganS0326]

Holy moly, xanzaba, that sounds like a terrible fall. Hope you mend quickly and glad the baby is ok!!!

 

[amantila]

Awwww xan...sorry about the fall and injuries! Glad the baby is doing well though

 

[campn]

Xan- Aww Hun I'm so sorry! You gotta be careful, I remember it got so much worse in the third trimester with DS! I wobbled around like a drunk penguin. Get better! Take calcium.

 

[MummaMoo]

Oh no Xan! So sorry to hear about the fall! Bad that it happened at all, but better that it's so early on - baby is well protected and nestled in there and you haven't got a big baby bump to carry everywhere with a weak foot (sorry, I'm terrible for thinkng about the positives when bad things happen!)
Heal quickly my lovely, feel better soon!

 

[babywebb]

Mine is due September 14th

 

[MummaMoo]

Welcome babywebb!

 

[ssarahh]

Xan sorry to hear about the fall. It's so easy to do but as the other ladies have said at least it's now rather than in 3rd tri. Get better soon lovely x

 

[mrs unicorn]

Oh xan sorry to hear that. Sounds like a bad fall, you poor thing. Hope you are on the mend very soon. X

 

[hopie2015]

Xan- I am very sorry to hear about your fall. As you said, you were protecting baby! Are you able to have time off from work to rest?
Take in plenty of calcium and protein- I swear they helped me heal a fracture very quickly. Praying for a speedy recovery for you~

 

[InVivoVeritas]

Xan, you poor thing! You really must have been protecting the baby to beat yourself up so badly. Feel better soon.

Leo, gorgeous scan pic! You can really see the baby as a person now.

Babywebb, welcome!

Names-wise, I like Caspar for a boy and Cordelia for a girl. I think they go together well too, so if these babies are b/g then that's what I'll go with. I need another boy and another girl name, though, just in case.

I've had some spotting again today. Called the mw and I've got a scan at 3.30pm today. Absolutely terrified I can't get hold of DH either. Really don't want to hear bad news on my own. Wish me luck.

 

[xanzaba]

Oh, unicorn hoping for the best!

Thankss ladies for the nice posts. Feeling a little better today, and glad to hear silver linings so I don't feel too sorry for myself. DH is awesome, can't imagine this w/o him.

Thinking of you Mrs U x
