Luv just reading your story made me feel stressed out, how horrible it must have been in person. So glad there was a happy outcome! What a relief!

ginge, sorry you're feeling miserable. I hope you feel better soon. Sometimes it really does help to just have a good cry.

luv, what a horrible experience but, love the happy ending part. Hope no one ever has to go through this.

Ginge, feeling Miserable sucks but, hope you feel better soon. Lots of hugs.

Mumma, sorry that's not what I meant, I was just talking about my personal feelings. I can see reading back why you might think it was in response to your post, but it wasn't. Your post came across as kind and thoughtful, and from 'this' side, it's nice to see how much friends do care when it happens x

I think I'm just having one of those days when I'm OVERthinking things, and emotions are on the edge.

I've also had a friend messaging me all day as she's experiencing some bleeding (she's 10/11 weeks pregnant) asking all kinds of questions and advice.

So, yeah, a bit of a day.

Bless you, im an over thinker too so I understand what you mean.

Hope your friends bleeding doesn't mean anything serious.

Ginge, sorry you're feeling so rubbish, sickness really gets you down x

I'm officially 17 weeks today (size of a turnip!), and for the past couple days I have been feeling little flutters after dinner.

Question for those of you with little ones already- when did you start organizing the nursery and buying cribs etc.?

I hope that today brings some peace to those who have been sick and that we can all stay upright and healthy. I can't believe that we are all in 2nd trimester. I have been enjoying these last few weeks without nausea, and even have been sleeping better (although today I woke up at 4:30).

Yet another storm on the day of my prenatal appt. lol That's 3 times in a row now. Ugh! This one is bad because it was all freezing rain and ice. I'm not sure if I'll be going for my apt today. Better to be safe than sorry.

Xan - congrats on 17 weeks!! Getting so close to 20 weeks now. I'll probably slowly start getting the nursery ready from 24 weeks on. My hubby actually has to build and extra room for it so it will take some time. But I did it at the same point with my other kids too.

Xan- With my son probably around 22 weeks, we went all out with the nursery. It helps if you write down a list of things you need to buy too and buy stuff off it every few weeks so you don't break the bank hehe.

My parents are like why you gonna make a nursery when the baby sleeps with you the first year!? And I don't want to have to explain to them that I like doing it, especially if this is a girl I want a cute owl themed nursery!

 

[mari35racz36]

Campn - I've been told the same before, baby is so little and doesn't need its own room. But I love decorating the nursery too I would love to do another girl nursery!! Right now I love the pink/grey/white colours. We just painted and decorated my 4 year olds room and I had so much fun with it. He is in love with his new room

My prenatal appt was officially cancelled due to bad weather. Everything is shutdown around here. It's been rescheduled for Wed next week.

 

[xanzaba]

I saw some neutral colored sheep sets and blankets that look so good in a light wood or light grey nursery. I'm afraid that it's going to be an uphill battle with my mom who loves pink princesses and blue cars/trains. She wants to buy the crib for us, but I'm a bit wary of the strings attached. My niece has every princess dress known to man, even a princess nightgown. I just don't want the stereotypical boy stuff forced on our little guy before he is old enough to start making decisions for himself.

 

[mari35racz36]

Xan - I know exactly what you mean. I let all my kids pick the colours of their room when it changed from a nursery. My daughter is a typical girly girl and choose pink and purple. Lol My 5year old choose blue and grey but my 4 year old choose lime green! Lol I really wanted them to have input. If our new baby is a boy, I doing the nursery soft grey/white. I'm very obsessed with grey colours lol

 

[dreamer1316]

Ladies at last a scan for me!! Baby measured up at 14 weeks today. What do you think - pink or blue?

 

[xanzaba]

Wonderful scan, dreamer. I'm always amazed at how long their legs get after 12 weeks!

 

[MummaMoo]

I think blue!

 

[mari35racz36]

Dreamer - lovely scan pic I guess boy!

 

[MummaMoo]

Our nursery was neutral with a pale green/grey owl & hedgehog theme. We kept the walls and carpet plain, and Sophie now has a big owl tree decal wall sticker a bit bolder in color, and owl bedding. She loves it, and owls, her first animal noise she made was an owl

Trying to get pics up but picturetrail isn't playing ball today.

Baby will be in with me for a good while, and hopefully by the time it moves into the nursery, we'll have had the house extension. If not, Sophie and baby will share for a while.

Luv- that is so scary.. I know 2 others that happened to as well. If dr. can't find hb today on first try with doppler, I will keep hope they send me for a scan and all is okay. So happy for you baby is great!

Xan- thank you!! So glad you are feeling better and your arm must be lots better now? I sure hope the sickness goes away totally for all of us soon, too. Enough is enough!

Mari- Another storm?! ice is the worst.. I hope you don't go out. Maybe they can schedule you for tomorrow? Wow - 18 mos to over 3 years was tough?! lol

Dreamer- congrats! I am terrible with guessing.. I think maybe boy as well?

Camp- thanks for the kind words. Everyone who has had a loss before on this board - I am amazed by their strength. I think it is my 2 losses (plus my age!) that makes me ultra paranoid before each appt. I am trying my best to turn my fear into faith and it is helping!
I accept the sad and unfair truth that losses do happen and God forbid it happens to me again I have to find a way to accept it and move on, but in reality I wonder how people get over a late loss.

I am tempted to go to baby clothes store today after appointment to cheer self up. )

 

[mari35racz36]

Hopie - good luck at your appt today! Can't wait to hear about it My docs office around 8am and said my appt needed to be rescheduled due to the weather. It's now on Wed at 11am. So not to much longer

 

[campn]

Ladies, I've had a horrible headache since yesterday that won't go away even during my sleep I could still feel it, and this morning still here, I'm also not feeling the flutters I usually feel. Should I worry, or am I completely over-reacting?

 

[xanzaba]

Camp'n- there is no such thing as overreacting in pregnancy. Have you tried the doppler? Maybe it would reassure you.
