Hey ladies!!

Smiley - cant believe ur ds was so big! My LO was 7lb 5oz, but he was 2 weeks early! Not that it made a difference, got a csection anyway! But i imagine he wouldnt have been too bad to push out! Thats good ur mw took u seriously! Nice to know they listen! And yay on the extra scans...if anythin, thats a nice wee bonus!!

Kbkb- lol i hate those moments of sudden "oh my god what am i eating!!!" I had one last nite while eating the meal that i specially requested my dad to make! Lol that did not go down well!! Haha!

Mustang- great to hear from u! And im so happy for u that ur appointment so well! So glad u got to see ur wee baba!! Cant wait to see the pic!

AFM - ive practically slept the day away today! If i come home from my mum and dads and dont have a scan date thru the door then il ask my consultant at my appointment on tues! But really hope i get a date! I have been feeling much more tired these days!! Ridiculously tired! Is anyone else like that? I dont remember being this way with brandon at all!

And avid - hope ur ok! Thinkin of u! Xxxxxxxx

 

[kbkb]

That is fabulous news MustangGirl....must have been so reassuring to hear the heartbeat!! time to celebrate

Steph-7lb 5oz and 2 weeks early!!! we need to seriously call this the big baby's thread I remember feeling absolutely washed out around 10-12 weeks too (puking and no appetite do that to you)..dont worry, sistah, you are NOT alone! So many days, I'd just crash at 6 pm after leaving early from work....This too shall pass!
These days, I'm feeling a fresh burst of energy..Cleaned the shoe closet yesterday, bought new files and sorted all our papers. man...who'd imagine this was me!


I'm a MANGO! Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!

 

[smiley330]

kbkb - YAY to tha mango!!!! Ahh you are tiny, i'm sure your baby is right on track though. I'm sure they even themselves out, unless you are destined to join me in the big baby group!!

Mustang - Great news on the scan. I would just stick with your dates though, scans can be slightly out and if your dates seem pretty reliable. But a few days wont make much difference! Looking forward to seeing a pic.

Steph - Ahh I know how you feel. I have recently got some energy back, but was going to bed SO early. I could still easily sleep for the whole day... but I think i've always been like that, pregnant or not! If you can, then just sleep and enjoy it!

Certain - Hope you are well!

AFM - symptoms are going a bit, met up with my midwife again yesterday who did bloods etc. Can't believe that's it now until 16 weeks! Still trying to hurry up the days so that my scan comes. But it's my birthday this weekend so we are away on Sat, looking forward to that!! x x x x x

 

[kbkb]

Ooooh, a birthday weekend...how nice! hope you're up to something fun! even if its minus the this time....i cant believe how long I've not used that emoticon. Used to be our fav in the TTC thread, remember girls?

Bloods all normal smiley?

 

[smiley330]

Haha I remember! I might start using it in spirit, if I can't actually have any wine I shall have some on BnB!

Not sure about the bloods, wont get the results back for ages - and I think they'll only call me if something is wrong. If not i'll just get the results at the next midwife appointment at 16 weeks. x x x

 

[steph1505]

The big baby thread!! Haha!! Let's not jinx it now kbkb!!

How we all doin today?

Smiley - very nice that it's ur birthday weekend! Lol it was my wee bros 18th yesterday so we all had a wee drink to celebrate...except me of course! That's good ur symptoms are starting to fade! Can't wait for mine to disappear too!! How r u getting on at work now? No more sick days lol?! My midwives seem to be so far behind ures! I dnt get my bloods done til next week and il be just about 11 weeks!

Kbkb - lol wot u like? Ur OH must be lovin this new organised u!! I can't wait to get like that!! Don't worry about ur wee baby being too big! I'm sure, as smiley says, they all even out! How's ur wee bump doin? Getting bigger?!

AFM - we told a lot of my family last nite that we are pregnant! I won't see a lot of them until Christmas so we thought we would tell them now! Hugs all round obviously! But apart from that, don't really have much to report!

Smiley - quick question but wen r u tellin ur DS that a wee baby is on the way? I don't know how to approach it with DS! Don't know when to tell him!

Xxxxxx

 

[smiley330]

Yes, i'm going to prove the "second babies are always bigger" theory wrong!!

Steph - We have started introducing that there will be a baby about, mostly cuz i've been clearing out his toys and keeping some for "baby". He loves babies but there's no way he'd understand the whole, baby in the tummy or have a clue what a brother or sister is yet!! So I think when I start showing properly then we'll start getting him used to it more. He'll be able to see a bump and hopefully associate it with a baby in there!

That's the rough plan anyway! how old is your DS? x x x

 

[QPP]

Hi guys,

I have been very quiet lately! I am just soo tired! Work is very busy during the day and i have been crashing out when I get home.

Certain, so pleased that you heard the heartbeat. Good luck for your scan.

Smiley, happy birthday! Enjoy your weekend break.

I was at my pilates class last night and when i had to lie on my front- it hurt my bbs and I thought yay I am pregnant! Cant wait till my scan next week!

Have a good rest of the week everyone

 

[CertainTurton]

Hi Ladies,

well im not so sure about this being a big baby thread...sounds ouchy to me

QPP - glad to hear from you - Its weird when you get excited about the bad symptoms but i know exactly what you mean

Steph - how fantastic that you have been able to tell people Its a lovely feeling isnt it...I cant wait to announce it! Keep resting up and hope you start to feel better soon!

Smiley - wooo love birthday weekends!! enjoy!! Glad your midwife app went well- i know it feels like ages away doesnt it? hopefully it will come quickly! I never heard back about my bloods, guessing they were all ok!

Kbkb - WOOOO Mango!!! I love mangos, bought some yesterday how exciting! love the fact you are nesting a bit with all of your tidying

AFM - Well after the excitement of hearing the hb on monday I borrowed my friends doppler today, but couldnt find it this eve im sure all is fine but its a bit sad, really hope I will find it again soon Also I didnt mention before but when I was in Devon I also had my urine checked and it had glucose in it which apparently means i may have a 'leaky' kidney, its no problem now but they will keep an eye on my sugar levels later on. A lot of my symtoms are fading now - getting less tired and no more nausea (yey!!) just sooo impatient for my scan!

He's just turned 2 so he too doesnt really understand the idea of a brother or sister either! I think when I start to show, wel start to introduce the idea! Prob just the same as u! I think I mite buy him a wee book about it, he loves books so I think that be an effective way of explaining it all!

Xxxxx

 

[steph1505]

Hey QPP!! Sorry uv been so tired! I know the feeling though! Lol I luv how sore boobies excite u!! My OH is loving my big boobs these days! I hate them!!

Certain - don't worry abt not findin the hb! Ur baby still has bplenty of places to hide!! I don't really no much about 'leaky kidney'... but hopefully it doesn't cause any problems for u in later pregnancy! I've never heard of it before! Xxxxx

 

[CertainTurton]

Steph, well that may have been doctor slang as it was my mum (GP) who did the test. It just that the kidney doesnt quite cope with the extra glucose in a preggy persons body nothing to worry about really

 

[steph1505]

Lol away I see!! Aw that's good then!! It really must be great having ur mum as a GP! My mum is a nurse so I'm constantly on the phone to her asking her ridiculous questions lol! But it's great that ur mum has access to all those tests and dopplers!!

So r u home now or r u still enjoying ur holiday? Xxxx

 

[steph1505]

Ooooh!! I'm a prune today!! That's Brandons favourite food!! Lol! Xxxxx

 

[kbkb]

Yayyy for being a prune, Steph!

Certain- Its great you found the HB with your mum...Nearly @ 12 weeks arent we? That is super...

the bump has absolutely popped this last week..omg, I am huge

 

[steph1505]

Aaaw are u??? Thats so cute!!

Im now wearing my maternity jeans!! Bliss! They r sooo comfy!!

I cant wait to get my bump! Altho...i hope im not as big as last time haha!!

Xxxxx

 

[CertainTurton]

Hey,

How are we all? Has anyone heard from Avid? hope all is ok!

Steph- aww a prune! how exciting, they have been some of my fav fruits too recently Its nice having some one to ask isnt it? but my mum can be a bit 'pull yourself together' as well she also keeps saying its fine to have the occasional glass of wine some doctors! No i came back to work on Tues last week, horrid to be back but just counting the months until i leave!

kbkb - yes im 12 weeks tomorrow, so very excited..annoying to have to wait an extra week for the scan tho! How exciting about your bump...any pics!?! when is your 20 week scan?

AFM - we found the hb yesterday!! so happy!! good and strong, im so pleased DH could hear it too this time. Ive recorded it on my phone now so i can hear it whenever...hehe. Were off to my uncles wedding tomorrow so will take the doppler and hopefully show my sister too.
Me and my boss had the Mat leave chat this morn (not offical with HR yet) as she has to apply for some more funding and advertise my job. we will need to over lap for at least 2 weeks so i can train them...madness

 

[steph1505]

Hello eveyone!!

Certain - cant believe uz r having the mat leave talk already! Ive been sitting trying to work out when i.want to stop! So, did uz agree when u will start ur maternity leave? Thats sooo cool uv recorded the hb on ur phone! I might figure out how to do that! Haha!

Havent heard from avid! Really hope shes ok!

AFM - well, im in a bit of a huff at the moment! When brandon was 6 months, OH's cousin and his wife had a wee boy, so we boxed up lots of brandons clothes and sent them to them but asked them please keep them as we would one day want them back! Well, they announced today that they are 9 weks pregnant and that they 'know' they are having another boy and will be keeping brandons clothes for this baby! Em....no uz wont! I wanted those clothes back to sell so that whatever money we got back we would use to buy this baby clothes! They know we are expecting!

Do you think im being unreasonable in asking for these clothes back? I havent seen hem yet as we are hp in inverness! Xxxxx

 

[steph1505]

Sorry about that last post...im just a bit hormonal!! Xxxx

 

[CertainTurton]

I know it's mad to be talking about it now but we have to get funding and retrain etc. I think at the mo I will leave 2 weeks before my due day, does that sound reasonable?

Ooo steph I think that's awful, esp if you had agreed you would have them back. I think you should ask for them, or the money you would have got for them! now take a deep breath and relax
