Wondering if anyone from USA could help me out? I have seen a lovely nursery lamp that I would love for my baby room but its only available in USA. The make is Kids Line and its called Forest Friends lamp and shade. Have included pic! I was wondering if anyone seen it in real life and is it as nice as looks online. Also if you know anyone that posts to UK could you let me know! I know it's a long shot!!

Aw what a lovely room Manny!!

Yes this little man is my first bubba

Bag puss agree with the others sickness is a great sign! This preg was the only one I was sick with!

 

[Laubull]

Elaine you look fab! And so do you Manny, I love your nursery!

I must take some pictures on my nursery, in the meantime here's a couple of pics of me, one at a wedding on Saturday with DH and another from my baby shower

Goodness everyone what a sudden flurry of lovely pictures! Isn't it great to see so many bumps after all that we have all been through?! Gorgeous bumps, all 3 of you- Manny, Elaine and Laubull. And Manny, your nursery is just beautiful.

Cupcake, hooray for another little boy! Not that I'm at all biased now, but I think little boys are just wonderful! Wonder who will have the first girl though?

Twinkle, let us know how your scan goes- you are very strong staying team yellow!

Bagpuss, I am sure this is your 3rd time lucky and all will be well with your scan. Cheryl and I were very sick with our boys though so I wouldn't read too much into sickness as a predictor of gender!

Laubull, hooray for starting maternity leave, enjoy!

Oh, Elaine, more medical problems in your family, poor you! Can't believe how far along you are though, you are doing so well and I am so pleased for you after your worry at the start.

Well, being a Mummy is just the most fantastic thing that has ever happened to me- I am so happy. Obviously I am sad that I had 2 miscarriages, but I think they have made me appreciate Matthew even more than I might have otherwise- I delight in every moment spent with him, dirty nappies and all! I promise you all that it will be worth all the heartache and all the miserable times in pregnancy- and the labour too! Matthew is sleeping well, sometimes a stretch of 4-5 hrs in the night, eating REALLY well(!) and loving trips out in his pram with our dog. He really enjoys being in his bouncy chair too and looking at all the toys on it- he can focus now and follow things with his eyes, and he even grabbed one of the ties on my jumper this morning! I see little developments in him every day, and it is so exciting! I can't wait for all you ladies to experience this joy too xxxx

Oh Lou you sound just head over heels with your little man. I must admit I was a little shocked to learn he was a boy as I thought my awful sickness meant a girl, but now I'm so happy to be having a little boy, esp as my hubs is over the moon!

I'm still having problems getting my scan pics into the right format but ill try and post some later they are amazing! Oh and my enormous bump!!

 

[cupcake1981]

Heres my giant bump at 20 weeks!!

My little guy sucking his thumb

Sorry they are all on seperate posts my brain wont function today!

Hi girls!

Had my scan today and all is well with bubs! Was a real wriggle though and not that keen on posing for pics so really don't have any good ones to share unfortunately. The most important thing is that the radiographer didn't see anything to be concerned about and we saw a heart beating away perfectly. Our trust don't tell you gender at your scans and we aren't going to get a private scan but I have a feeling we are having a wee boy too!

Cupcake, lovely pics of your little man. How cute that your hubby is so excited! I bet you can't wait to go shopping now!!

Manny, wow, your nursery is gorgeous! and you have a perfect bump! Not long to go now.

Laubull, also looking lovely! I have a wedding in a few weeks and am looking at a dress in the same colour but maxi style, think I will go for it!

Lou, your post has made me so so excited about baby arriving. Glad motherhood is suiting you down to a tee. Sounds like you are a great mummy!

Cheryl, hope you are getting on well too.

Elaine, lovely bump, I agree that your pregnancy seems to have gone really quickly. Hope the family are on the mend now.

I am away on a hen weekend this weekend so will try and get a nice pic when I'm all dressed up and post it up for you ladies to see. I love my bump and all the kicks too!

[cupcake1981]

Glad everything went well Twink!! I was really lucky with my pics as I had a 2nd sonographer come in and she gave me some clearer and better photos than the 1st lady! Such a relief that everything is ok isn't it! I finally feel like I might actually have a baby!!

 

[bagpuss19]

Manny dont worry about episiotomy I tore quite badly with my wee boy as he came out like superman with one arm up. However I felt absolutely nothing it wasn't till after I remember saying oooo it's a bit stingy down there lol. Worst bit for me out of the whole labour was being stitched up afterwards! I was very jealous of my friend who got a spinal block for this!

Xx

 

[Lou15]

Lovely scan pictures Cupcake!

Twinkle, I'm so pleased everything went well at your scan, congratulations!

Gosh yes Manny, sorry, should have reassured you about the episiotomy sooner- did feel the cut being made but it wasn't as sore as you would imagine, the suturing afterwards was a bit painful (but most people get appropriate local anaesthesia so they don't feel that part- I was just so happy that labour was over that I didn't really care!) and it was sore for a few days afterwards, but it was by no means the worst of what happened to me and I don't think you should worry unduly about it at all xx

 

[mannymoo]

Stunning pics cupcake. Love the thumb sucking. So cute...

Thanks ladies for the reassurance on the episiotomy. The midwife said I wouldn't have a clue that it was even happening so will try not think about it. Its more the thought that grosses me out.

Hope everyone has a lovely weekend!

Morning Ladies

How are we all?

Well maybe I shouldn't be on this thread.......................

Because it appears I'm 5th time lucky - got my BFP a few days ago, already been for a HCG test and I am already booked in for scans

So now I need lots and lots and lots of that sticky baby glue

[thethomsons]

Yay garfie!!! Made my day reading that!! Congrats hun xx

 

[mannymoo]

YAY YAY YAY Garfie!!! Sending you absolutely ALL my positive vibes that this works out for you - you SOOO deserve it. Keep us posted and I'll keep everything crossed! xx

How is everyone else?

I'm so excited to be full term tomorrow! Also got a DR appointment to decide if I should schedule a CS or just wait it out. Quite nervous to have an internal. Will let you know what he says.

 

[garfie]

Thanks ladies

I'm so so so scared - HCG is 50 and PROG is 61 - still a long way to go but a good start right?

Good luck manny - is this your first internal?
