* September Stars 2014 * 41 babies born!

[Belle Shine]

Oh and symptom wise things have slowed over last couple of days (another reason I want more tests) but I was feeling fatigue in the afternoons, terrible acne and the odd bit of nausea up until two days ago.

I am sure my left boob is getting bigger too (not so sure about the right one!)

Xx

its so weird, with DS1 I had such bad fatigue during first tri I could barely keep my eyes open and make it to work. This time, I keep waking up at 3:30 or 4:00am and I'm up for the day! And I'm not tired??? I know this will be short lived so I might as well enjoy the energy while I can before the fatigue sets in!

 

[Twinklie12]

So far my symptoms are still just fuller, tender breasts, an odd cramp here and there, and some slight constipation. I'm dreading the fatigue but FX it stays away!

Just spoke to my doctors and booked an appointment to confirm pregnancy etc. I'm feeling like it can't come soon enough as I have no symptoms other than no period and a positive test but I still worry that I'm not really pregnant which I think is natural. Of course, should morning sickness kick in, I'm sure I'll be wishing it would end!

Have you announced to anyone yet? We are telling our families this weekend but won't be telling anyone else until 12+ weeks.

Wow Banana.. that must have been traumatizing. You went through a lot between your pregnancy and the birth! You are a trooper... xx

Aw thanks I'm just hoping everything goes a lot smoother this time lol xx

I feel like I've already told waaaay too many people. LOL... My DH doesnt mind at all though. We are pretty open with stuff. Though we havent gotten completely public yet.
We've told our parents (6), parents best friends (2) siblings and spouses (5), grandparents (3), coworkers (7), some close friends and their spouses (10)... that might be it.... so whats that put me up to? 33 people LOL.... whoops!

I was just talking to another friend of mine who is a photographer (oops theres 1 more!) and she said she would like to do a pregnancy reveal photoshoot! We were thinking maybe dress up my 2 year old in a super hero costume and have him hold a sign that says "Superhero sidekick coming soon"!

That'd be so cool!
I told my best friend who told me she is pregnant too.
I told mil this morning because I was spending the day with her and felt dreadful and sick.
Obviously dh knows and I expect fil will know when he gets home from work.
I'm going to tell a couple of people after I get an 8 week scan and a few more at 12 weeks.
Facebook won't know til I post the 20 week scan.

We've told a few. My parents know, and a few close friends...I think about 4 friends? OH's family will be finding out somewhere between 8 and 12 weeks, between scans. They seem to be a bit funny about it, which is why we've held off telling them until we know everything is ok. I feel bad, but we've decided we just don't want the stress and possible disapproval.

Fatigue is well and truly setting in. I just want to go to bed. Allll the time! Most of the time I'm falling asleep straight away, having a good 10 hours or so at night, then maybe a nap in the day last night I woke up at 4am though, so only had 5 hours...just couldn't get back to sleep! And at work all day. Can't stop yawning!

Haha I'm guilty of this too! But our close family and friends knew we'd been trying for a year so it just felt right telling them when we finally got our bfp! We've told our parents (4), best friends (12), siblings (3), grandparents (4), aunties, uncles and cousins (17) so 40! Oops!

That sounds like a fab reveal! We're thinking of doing something similiar.. a film release poster like this :

[Jokerette]

Banana that's awesome!!!!

 

[Leah_Marie]

Bananabump, what a cool way of telling people!

We've got a "big sister" t shirt for Avia so we are excited to see how long it takes our families to catch on.

 

[Twinks]

Lol banana that poster is too funny!! We've told both sets of parents and I made lo a t shirt last week with some fabric pens and this design on https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/105245354/only-child-shirt-for-big-brother-to-be?ref=cat_gallery_6
Lol but no one got it! Ha ha ha took ages for people to realise with lots of read it again... Ha ha!
Symtom wise I feel soo bloated tonight! Otherwise feel fine. 5 weeks tomorrow then off to the docs Friday for my first appt Eek so exciting x

 

[MommyCandice]

finally all caught up, congrats too all you ladies who have and so sorry to hear about you beb

as for me not a whole lot of symptoms just some slight nausea, and tingly boobs and tired.

We will be finding out as I did with my other two as I can't not haha

Right now we have told my parents(3), some aunts and uncles(3), our kids (2), and some close friends(6 or 7) and we plan to tell his parents next time we see them hopefully in the next 2 weeks. It wont be facebook official till after my dating ultrasound.

Just had my booking appointment today and all is going well, they scheduled me back in for in 4 weeks and my ultrasound is booked for feb 27( oh's moms bday) we are so excited. They are sending me to referrals for specialists for my epilepsy so we can get some things looked at but other than that it was a great appointment so ready to have my baby now

 

[Leah_Marie]

How exciting, twinks! I have my first appointment on Monday and I can't wait.

 

[Leah_Marie]

Oh yes, who is finding out and who isn't?

We found out with Avia as she was our first and we couldn't wait.

We were TTC this baby and it was something we discussed but never came to a real decision. I'd love to wait but I don't think I could! DH isn't phased either way but I don't think he could wait either.

 

[nlk]

ahh you all have such lovely ways of telling people! I guess it's different telling people when you already have one...you can get them involved!

How did you all tell your OH?

 

[Leah_Marie]

My DH fortunately had the day off of work so was there when we saw the two lines!

 

[Petzy]

I have only told 2 girlfriends and we aren't telling anyone for awhile.. I'd like to wait until 12 weeks to tell anyone. We will see if we last that long! I am a bit nervous due to a recent loss.

Wohoo to your appointment on Monday I can't remember if that's when we'll have our scans booked in? I think so. Would be lovely to have a date for our first scan

We didn't find out with our ds and we're looking likely to stay team yellow again. Loved the surprise when he was born and this may sound strange but I'm sure it helped the labour thinking all the time I want to know the sex of my ds lol. However I totally get why people want to find out at 20 weeks and its so tempting for us... Lol. I also love thinking about boys and girls names so happy to create lists for both.

Does anyone have ideas for names? I've kept my eyes out on tv programmes/ at playgroups so we have a few ideas. Love thinking of names

Yes I think it's then that our scans will be booked in which is very exciting.

We have girls names but none for boys. Our favourite right now is Anna Seraphina but we like Mila and Lyla too.
