i know but we said we wouldnt get anything until after the 13 week scan and so we just wanted to get a little thing- it was in the sale too and just sooooo cute Must resist from now on. Should really try and wait and get most stuff in the Jan sales if we can!

 

[TrAyBaby]

aw kbkb great pictures

Hey girlies just wanted to let you know my doctor has changed my scan dates (cause of my history) was due 1st scan on 20th october (7w2d) but now im getting one next week!!!!!!!! on the 13th october (6w2d) eeeeek. I hope my little bean is in the right place this time.

Hope everyone is feeling well today x

 

[kbkb]

Yayyy for an earlier scan, Traybaby

 

[steph1505]

Aww certain!! Ur first wee baby purchase!! Thats soooo cute! Ive promised OH I wont go overboard this time...Brandon had waaaaay too many clothes! Were also gonna try get most things in the january sales! Im a next sale addict so il be 6months pregnant, up at 5am on boxing day standing out in the cold!! Haha!

Traybaby - yaaaay for the early scan! Woo hoo! How r u feeling these days?

We have 2 girls names we both like...but if we have a boy, were screwed! Our two boys names last time were brandon and matthew...so we made matthew the middle name! Lol...if we hadnt then that wouldve been our boys names! For girls, we like Niamh (pronounced neeve) or Amelia! OH has quite an unusual Italian surname, so quite a lot of names dont suit!!

Morning girls!!!

WOAH!!! kbkb - Are they hactual scan pics?? of your beautiful baby?? FINALLY uploaded?? Hooray!!!! They are great pics, so cute!! Oh gosh, this is a tough one to guess though. I would say girl, but the last pic is making me want to say boy. . . . BUT I think if you had a boy then you would have seen on the 18 week bum shots so i'm going to stick with girl for you Exciting!

TrAyBaby - Yay for the earlier scan!! That's great, it will help put your mind at rest loads, it will be brilliant for you to see your bub!

Certain - Ahh, that's so cute you've made your first baby purchase! I keep wanting to buy something then putting it off "until after the next scan" If all goes well on Sat then I think i'll start making some purchases! I have a huge list of things I want this time round

Steph - Oh gosh, the great name debate!! It was SO tough for me and OH last time, but I think it's going to be easier this time. We have a girls name and are in semi agreement on a short list of boys names. So hopefully neither of us changes our mind!! Your girls names are very pretty!!

[steph1505]

Hey smiley!!

Thats a good point u make about kbkb's bum shot...u prob would have been able to see if it was a boy! Ooooh!!

I cant wait to start buying things! We r gonna use a lot of brandons stuff again...bumbo seat, jumperoo, playmat etc...and my mum and dad have already bought us the bottles, steriliser, and loads of nappies haha!! OH's mum has offered to get us the pram which i think is soooo nice of her! I thot for ur 2nd that people werent meant to buy u big things! And remember i had mentioned previously about how we had loaned Brandons clothes to OH's cousin? Well, we got the newborn stuff back...and it is RUINED!! None of it could be reused! Its disgusting! I dont think she even washed kt before sending back to us! So thats a lesson learned for us!

But, that does give me an excuse to buy clothes hahaha!! I think il wait til after the next scan...there are a lot of clothes in my work i would get...but wanna wait til we know whether its a boy or girl!

Xxxxx

 

[kbkb]

Hey girls! yea smiley- i finally got there!!!

No what i meant by bum shot , was that baby was on its side and had its back to us so all we could see was the head and bum...no boy/ girl parts..but considering we want the surprise probably a good thing. I'm veering toward girl too, but I kind of wonder if that is a nub in pic 2??? so we are all saying for me! I got 3 boy and 3 girl guesses on the other thread so far, so very confused!

Steph- how nasty of them to ruin your stuff and not even bother to give it back washed. Thats really ungrateful Bet you were mad as hell....dont blame you, I hate people like that.

 

[steph1505]

Lol 3 boys and 3 girls guesses, ur not really much further forward haha!! At least ur more than half way there til u kno!! Eek!

Lol yeah i sooooo mad when i opened the box! OH's mum was there & she said she'd never seen me so mad! Its just the total lack of respect for the fact that we spent an absolute fortune on all the clothes! But hey...no point crying over spilled milk as they say! Ive been so hormonal the past few days...a right grump haha! I maaaay have had a slight over reaction to a bad driver yesterday! If smiley seen my facebook she'll know what im talkin about haha!

Well im about to start work finish at half ten! Yawn! Hope uz enjoy the rest of ur day!

Xxxxxx

 

[smiley330]

kbkb - Ah ok, well then - I am stumped. I really thought girl, but I might have to lean boy..... Oooh I don't know!! Yep, that's it - my official guess for you is boy!

Steph - We have lots of those bits from DS as well, can't wait to get out the jumperoo again!! That's so lovely that they want to buy you a new pram! Which one are you going to go for? That was my fave bit - choosing the pram!!

How annoying that all that stuff has come back in a bad state. That's awful! Did you say anything about it to them?? I guess that is a lesson learned, but it's sad!!

I did see your reaction to the bad driver, but I can totally understand that!! I get so wound up when people dont drive properly!!!

I am furious at Louis Walsh - enough said for hormones.

x x x x

 

[kbkb]

Ok! So now I'm officially confused
Smiley the expert says and the rest of us
The thread is inconclusive....

Hermaphrodite ??
Omg...

How are we all today???
I had a terrible evening yesterday full of heartburn...Oh, the joys of pregnancy! Only a glass of cold milk could cure it but suffered all evening. Cutting offenders out from diet from today- no tomatoes, no groundnuts, no citrus fruits,no chickpeas,nada.........Just cold milk and small meals.

 

[steph1505]

Haha kbkb!! Hermaphrodite wot u like?? Its just a proper wee mystery isnt it? Aaaaw! I cant wait to find out wot uve had!!

Thats so rubbish abt the heartburn!! Do u have gaviscon? I practically gulped bottles of that in my last pregnancy! Im lactose intolerant so nooooo glass of milk for me! Hope u have a better day today!

Smiley, i havent said anything to them about the clothes...they live in leeds so we never see them! I think if we were to ever have to argue with them again about it then i would say something! I feel really bad for their new baby tho...they were gonna put he or she in those clothes!

Were gonna go pram looking on thursday! I like the Mamas and Papas Rubix but i wanna go see it in person! We had the Mamas and Papas Pliko Pramette last time but it wasnt the greatest so im gonna properly check out all the options this time! Wot did u have last time?

Im back up for work gotta take the young man to his grannys before i head into work! Yaaaaawn! Im so sleepy!!

Xxxxxxx

 

[kbkb]

Good morning! poor Steph, you sound tired! Hope today is easier, do you still get off at 10.30?? must be hard on you...
I'm going to try and look for gaviscon...thanks for the tip

 

[smiley330]

kbkb - Yep, Gaviscon is the way forward!! Had bottles and bottles last time, it's great cuz we get it for free as well but it does work! Although, I really hate the stuff... bluerghhh!!

Haha, I am definitely not an expert. I don't know why im guessing boy. I want to guess girl, but I think your bub might surprise us!

Steph - I haven't even heard of that one this time around, I will have to check that out! I had a Quinny - LOVED IT! The only thing was that the shopping basket wasn't very big, but it was so easy to move around.

I am going to start looking soon!!

Ah, that is sad they were going to use those clothes for the new baby and they are not in a good state!! I don't know why people can't look after stuff.I know baby clothes aren't the easiest as they get into all sorts of mess - but you can save stuff!

x x x x

 

[kbkb]

Wow, you girls shopping already! and here's me- lazybones...We were thinking we shop after we get the new place and move in...no point shopping and then packing and then unpacking again... that's my excuse!
thanks for the tip, girls
Smiley- Yeah, I'd love a lil boy, though DH would love a girl....maybe this bub surprises us, i dunno!

 

[smiley330]

Nooo kbkb - I am not actually shopping yet. I just have a huge wishlist of things that I want! I definitely do not need a single one of them, but want is greater than need

Well I can totally vouch for little boys being amazing! I would love a little girl at some point in the future though so I can vouch for those as well!

x x x x

 

[steph1505]

Heeeeey!!! Kbkb - u def need to get some gaviscon!! Its a miracle worker! I think im one of the few that actually like the taste of it haha!! Yum yum! Smiley...can we get it on minor ailments or do we need to get it on prescription??

Lol thanks for the sympathy! I finished at half ten last nite...and started at ten this morning! Was sooo sleepy! Im dreading december cos we r open later so il need to work til half midnite!!!! Eek!

Ooh smiley i like the quinnys! Its on my list to look at too! I put aside two wee onesies in work tonight, beatrix potter ones! One is peter rabbit and one is jemima puddleduck! Im gonna keep them behind til i find out wot one i need haha!

Aaaw i can back smiley up and say that wee boys r just fantastic! It is such fun! Honestly! I think if i was perfectly honest, 51% of me would like a girl, 49% a boy...but i know il be happy either way! How could u not be if u know wot i mean??.

How has everyones day been?? Xxxxxx

 

[CertainTurton]

Hi

steph- gosh you work long hours. Where you based? Those tops sound so cute! Make sure they plan in lots of breaks for you at Xmas!

Kbkb- def agree with the others about gaviscon, have used it in the past. I also find a glass of milk with a bannana helps me- maybe try if uou run out hope it passes soon
for the uk ladies, it wil def work out cheaper getting a perscription as it's then free with our mat pass!

I'm so confused about travel systems but did like one in mothercare the other day. Won't be buying til after Xmas tho (jan sales...hehe). Also are any of you going for/used reuseable nappies? I'm looking into it at the mo. My day was ok, feeling a bit umm constipated so uncomftable got any tips??

 

[MustangGTgirl]

Hi ladies! I got to see my baby today from an emergency sonogram due to spotting and cramping yesterday and all is fine. I was not suppose to get another sonogram until 20 weeks so this one was an extra. They think I have an UTI which is causing blood in my urine and spotting.

So my baby was jumping around and waving it's arms and just going crazy, I have never seen that during all of my pregnancies before... it was awesome!

Anyways I am uploading a pic, what do you think on the gender? This is 11+4!!

 

[steph1505]

Hi mustang!! So nice to hear from u!! That must have been really scary for u but im soooo glad all is well! Ur scan pic is sooooo cute...hi baby :wave: i am no expert in gender guessing...but im gonna say girl! How have u been feeling?

Certain!! Sorry ur feelin constipated!! Im quite the opposite these days! I dont really know any cures...maybe some fruit juice...i dnt know sorry!! Oooh its exciting looking at prams isnt it? Haha! We use disposable nappies for brandon...i didnt really kno much abt reusables! Il def look into it more this time! Wot r u thinking?

I work in Sainsburys as a supervisor! So loooong days, moody customers and on my feet all day! It really is my ideal job! Oh im so sarcastic! My manager is really good tho! And my store manager has an 8 week old baby so he is really supportive! Its just the shift work that bugs me!

Up here, we get all our prescriptions for free so im def gonna get gaviscon on prescription soon!

I was wondering, are any of uz gettin the flu jag? Ive to go next weds for mine!

Xxxxxx
