:wave: I am already looking forward to the weekendddddddddd! How are you, Steph?

Please share some good ideas for baby prams while you're browsing !!

Morning,

Tryaybaby - Im sure all will be fine and it will be lovely to see your LO. FX with the tests - keep us updated

Steph - I agree with kbkb - any tips would be amazing!

So I am kind of 'pulling a sickie' today, I say kind of as I was feeling really rough yesterday and am still not 100% (Although I should really be able to work) so anyway I have called in sick for a PJ day think it will do me good really.

Hope you all have lovely days

Morning!

Certain - Ohh I wish I was having a PJ day today, in fact I wish I was having a PJ day every day!! Hope you have a lovely day, enjoy doing nothing!!

kbkb - Haha, hardly old!! I feel like i'm 100! Have you got any nice plans this weekend? More house stuff??

TrAyBaby - That's great they are keeping a close eye on your with scans and bloods. Don't worry, your little bean will be there and in the right place! All will be perfect

Steph - How are you today? Have you got a couple days off work now?

I didn't sleep well last night, DS decided that he was not particularly up for sleeping - not sure what was wrong. He's such a great sleeper so it really throws me on the odd nights that he doesn't sleep well, this morning he was absolutely fine though!! Figures!!

So looking forward to this weekend, going over for dinner at my friends on Sat night - which will be lovely. And I can't wait for my scan tomorrow!! (I'm not sure if i've mentioned it yet?? )

Hope you all have a nice day!! x x x x

Hey certain!! Aw thats a wee shame ur feeling rubbish but good on u for pulling a sickie! Sometimes a wee jammie day does u the world of good!

We were meant to go pram shopping yesterday but i got asked to do a last minute shift in work, and i shouldnt really be turning down overtime...so pram shopping will need to wait til next week! I have seen a few that I like...OH really isnt fussed at all! My one tip for uz, and this is a lesson i learned from last time...is try get a pram that allows the baby to sit up while being parent facing! Mine didnt...and i felt so sorry for brandon cos he wanted to see the world but i didnt want to put him forward facing! So he lay in the pram for about 6months before i gave in cos he was such a wee nosie thing!

So thats my number 1 tip probably!!

Im gonna go into work today and try on a dress! We just got a new Gok Wan range in and i loooove it! We have a wedding in 4 weeks...so im thinking if i maybe get a 12 instead of my usual 10 then i might het away with it! I think my real issue is my boobs actually! Its not too tight, quite floaty, so i think it could be quite forgiving on any lumps and bumps!! Hopefully!

Certain, when is ur gender scan? Xxxxxx

 

[kbkb]

ooooooooooh, So jealous Certain , i want a PJ day too! my back is acting up a bit . All because I'm being silly and stressing over the house stuff i need to do this weekend. AT MY AGE, i cant afford it Have a nice glorious lie in for all of us....
oooh Friday PJ day

Smiley- Ow , that sucks. that's the one thing I'm terrified about i.e. sleepless nights. I'm rubbish until i get my 8 hrs. Hope he's feeling sleepy today.....Yayyy for the scan tomorrow, you must show us pix

 

[steph1505]

Morning smiley!!

I was meant to be off weds, thurs, fri...but went in yesterday! Im back in 2moro! Sat nite back shift! I get all the rubbish shifts...i think they think cos i have LO then I dont have a life...eh hello?? X factors on!!

Aww wonder wot was up with ur little man! Brandon does that sometimes...just seems unsettled for no reason...but i kno wot u mean! Ur so used to a good nights sleep that when u dont get it, ur shattered! Hopeully hes back to his usual self 2nite!

Yaaaaay for ur scan!! Cant wait to hear how it goes!!
Xxxxxx

 

[CertainTurton]

kbkb - at your age...dont be silly I do feel a bit guilty tbh but we dont have any thing urgent going on at work.

Smiley - sorry to hear you had a bad night, hopefully he will be tired out by this evening so excited about your scan tomorrow...I think you may have mentioned it once or twice eeek, let us know!

Steph - thanks for the tip! At the mo we like one at Mothercare which can face both ways. But we are going to have a trip to Kiddicare soon as apparently they have a hug range you can try out.

My gender scan is on the 15th Nov - feels like ages away!! We will def be findin out and telling everyone

 

[CertainTurton]

double post, sorry!

 

[steph1505]

Ah is that mothercare switch? I think ive seen that one...u can literally just twirl the seat round? I like that too!! Let us kno how u get on at kiddicare! Eek!

Aw my scan is 2 days after yours! How exciting! Were def telling people too!! Means more gender specific presents xxxxxx

 

[steph1505]

Ooops! I meant mothercare spin! Xxx

 

[smiley330]

Ah yes, that is a good tip about front facing when sat up!

I am actually looking forward to the night feeds and things again this time - I don't know why, i'm sure i'll be changing my mind after a couple of nights! but I really liked the bonding time and can't wait to do it again... Ok maybe i'm mad.

Gosh, this week my apetite has really stepped up. I am just eating allllll the time, i'm so hungry!! It's really not like me at all, I never really get that hungry. But I keep waking up in the middle of the night absolutely starving, as in hunger pains, feel sick - STARVING!

I am going to be a house. My baby is also going to be a house.

x x x x

 

[CertainTurton]

aww smiley I am just the same and it started around 12 weeks too - its prob a growth spurt as I havent really put on much weight so its being used I know what you mean about the night, I had to go to the kitchen around 3am the other day to get a banana...hehe. Also last night I woke up with the hugest craving for fizzy drinks, was very strange - didnt have any though but DH has just popped back from work with some for me...yummy fanta! - hes so cute!

 

[steph1505]

Oh my god! Im totally the same too! Constantly hungry! Ive put on 2lbs since falling pregnant...i feel as if its a lot more! Im def bigger around the middle i really need to get back to the gym!

Lol smiley...im gonna be a house too! I was last time & i just know i will be this time! I dont care though...its the only time in our lives were allowed to eat as much as we want! Yum yum yum!!

Lol im really lookin forward to all that stuff too smiley! Maybe we wont be so happy this time cos wel be up with some 2 year olds too! I remember sitting up during the nite with OH just watching Brandon sleep! It was amazing! And i cant wait to sterilise bottles and all that again! Maybe were just glutten for punishment haha!!

Certain...thats so cute of ur OH! Fanta is sooo nice! Right now...im lovin fresh orange juice! Oooh yummy! Brandons been sleeping for over 2 hours, wish hed wake up! Im bored haha!!

[smiley330]

Thanks girls! I'm a lot more excited about this scan than the last one (was too worried last time to be able to get too excited) - I just had a little listen to the heartbeat and now can't wait to see him/her again in the morning!

Steph & Certain - i'm so pleased i'm not the only one! I just don't know how i'm able to keep eating all this food!! Oh well, like u said - it is the only time you can eat what you want and not have to worry about it. I'm really enjoying it

Speak to you tomorrow x x x

 

[steph1505]

Happy scan day smiley xxxxx

 

[smiley330]

Eeeekk scan was amazing!! MUCH better than the first one, we saw so much more detail and the pictures were amazing! The lady doing the scan was really enjoying showing us everything and took lots of time to point everything out She even gave us a sneak peak in 3D - which was just incredible. Squiggle had his/her hands and legs kicking around and waving at us

I still have no clues as to the gender, I was sure I saw a classic boy looking nub at one point so think i'm leaning boy! But we didn't get any pics of any nub clues to analyse

Here are some of the pics from today x x x x

 

[CertainTurton]

Awww smiley your lo is sooo cute! Loving the 3d scan pic glad all was well!

 

[TrAyBaby]

awwwwwwwwwwwwwww Smiley those pics made me all smiley. so glad it all went well for you x
