Team Yellow Buddies ***18 boys / 16 girls

[Widger]

I'm 50/50 on the old wives tales too.

My friend had a baby girl yesterday and we were all convinced, including herself that she was having a boy.... I sometimes think I'm having a girl but now I'm thinking boy because of what happened to her.

Oh well, I'm having a girl or boy that's for sure

Oh MrsRaggle.... not long to go

Aw thanks! Hows things going with Max? Flora had a 'fractious' day today. I think we've hit growth spurt territory because she is being really antsy just before each feed and has fed almost every hour since lunchtime! My boobs were not happy! She finally exhausted herself and has crashed out now so I think we're going to get outserlves into bed as well (we have to move her from the living room into the bedroom though which will probably wake her )

 

[mrsraggle]

It's my due date! Feeling rather chipper today though and not letting the lack of Littlebug get me down. I know I'll get induced at 40+10 so the wait is almost over.

Happy Due Date Mrsraggle :0

How are you feeling? Do you feel the LO engaged yet? So excited for you!!!!

 

[nesSAH]

Had my baby on Thu morning! My Team Yellow turned into a bundle of pink joy! Called her Freya!!

Congrats on your bundle of joy!!!!!

 

[catfromaus]

Wow, so much going on!

Massive congrats to Jaybee and Minikat- Freya is such a gorgeous name, love it!

And a very happy due date Mrsraggle! Sending you labour dust, how exciting that littlebug will be here soon! I still think you have a little girl in there, it will be interesting to see if the old wives tales come true!

My midwife told me I was *definitely* having a boy. Based only on the fact that baby wriggles around so much that she struggles to get a heartrate, and she said that "a girl would never behave this badly!!!" I seem to have a little rebel inside!

Chele and Greenlady, it is great to still have you around. Don't feel like you are gatecrashing!!!

Lots of love to all (and luck to mrsraggle especially!)

Happy Due Date Mrsraggle :0

How are you feeling? Do you feel the LO engaged yet? So excited for you!!!!

I'm feeling OK, baby was 2-3 fifths palpable at my last appointment on Thursday but my bump hasn't dropped at all. I always said I'd have a May baby so my prediction for myself is that my midwife's sweep next Friday will get things going and I'll have him/her on Saturday!

Glad to hear that!!
Well, I pray it all goes well and LO pops out this coming weekend

 

[nesSAH]

Wanted to share a bump picture! Week 32- taken a few mins. ago (after I chowed down a huge plate of lunch-hehehehe)

The one on right is from Week 29.
Any predictions?

Cat! We should compare bumps

 

[Widger]

Congrats to minikat and jaybee on there girl and boy.

MrsRaggle - apparently full moon coming up so could kick start things for you

Can't believe I'm going to be full term in a week. Not long till I meet this little one

 

[Moongirl]

Awww two more yellow babies yay!! Congrats to Minikat and Jaybee - looking forward to reading more about your little ones!

Mrs Raggle, glad you're keeping sane and enjoying your last little bit of pregnancy. Maybe you'll go sooner - it's my birthday tomorrow, that would be cool!!!

Lovely bump nessah, very cute! But i'm rubbish at predictions... will say boy for not logical reason!!!!

Cat, if your midwife is right them i'm having a boy too - it's just ridiculous the amount of movement i get... not stop effort to escape through my belly!

Nearly there widger... how are you feeling?

 

[chele]

Nessag - no idea. I am proper rubbish at these things.

Hope everyone is doing ok.

If you all don't mind I am going to close the thread to new members, but those who are already in the team can post all the way through. Is that ok?
