We made the trimesters pass quickly!

[Mummy to be x]

Oh UB that sucks! Hope you get it sorted.

Oh wow, I can't believe they don't check the gender that is so mean, that's exciting if you get to find out soon though!!!

 

[Ziggie]

Loads don't tell you gender. My friends hospital charges £75 to do it. Some don't because of gender bias in some communities. Lots of reasons...

 

[ab75]

Lol, dh says we can wait til 22 weeks to make sure they get it right, eh, no chance. I'll be booking it tmrw when I get paid for tues!!
ub, I think this is a boy, dh thinks another girl. I was wrong the last 2 times and he was right lol, so we will see!! I am not bothered either way as long as it is ok. I would like a boy as this will be my last but will not be disappointed with another girl, I just want a baby lol xx

 

[Mummy to be x]

I've never heard of them not telling the gender before, crazy.

Ab - definitly just book it, that way he can't do anything once it's booked I can't believe I'm going to have a new born at Christmas time, it's so exciting I've forgotten how small they are!

 

[ab75]

He won't mind anyway, he's a really good dh xx
I know, I can't wait xx

 

[UniqueBeauty]

I just hope this one doesn't come early! OH wants to go to Preston for Christmas but I want to start having it in our own home. I know he would secretly like me to give birth up there but I don't, god no. I'll probably talk about it November time so we dont cause any arguments x

 

[ab75]

I've already said that I won't be visiting family back home after 1st weekend in nov!! Zoe was 6 weeks early and I want this baby born up here! We always have Xmas at home anyway as I like the girls being in their own house and we can do what we want. Dh says he'll be doing the cooking this year as I'll be ready to pop xx

 

[Mummy to be x]

Do you have family in Preston UB?

I'm really hoping my baby comes before Christmas Day, I'm due two days after. I have a feeling he might be early, I hope I'm right

 

[Mummy to be x]

Wow ab 6 weeks early? I've no idea what we will be doing this Xmas day as this is the first time I've lived away from family, so I don't know weather we will be going to spend it with my family or OHs family, I think for arguments sake it would be better to stay at home, I think I'd prefer that to be honest x

 

[UniqueBeauty]

No it's OHs family in Preston but they make 0 effort to come down and see us.

Ever since we've been back from Spain it's been Preston one year My family the next then so on and I've had enough of that. When I was little I had Christmas in my own home every year and I want that for Jayden. I'm sick of traveling every year. We'll definitely have to go he'll probably say to go before Christmas because there's NO WAY I am going after Xmas lol x

 

[Mummy to be x]

I agree travelling at Xmas must be such a pain, can't they come and spend a couple of days with you instead this time? I would offer them to seen as though you will be very heavily pregnant at that point, it's not fair for you to travel.

 

[UniqueBeauty]

Exactly, I can't be made to travel 3 hours away and probably without a bed for my son to sleep in (again)

There's too many people in his family for them all to come down. He has 3 brothers who have never come down here to see us with their kids/girlfriends. The only person who does is his mum probably 3 times a year if that. Jay only sees his cousins when we can travel up there and when his mum brings them down.

Everytime I go up there I get a lecture about how Jayden is missing out and all the cousins get to go out together and I'm leaving Jayden out by being down here. Erm excuse me MY family is down here and they have 1 great/grandchild where as up there they are all surrounded by them! But no, I will remember what you just said, I can't be expected to travel that heavily pregnant BUT I bet he may suggest he takes Jayden up there without me, NOT HAPPENING x

 

[Mummy to be x]

Oh my goodness, your son didn't even have a bed to sleep in? That's terrible. Definitely three hours is a long way to travel when your about to pop, I know I wouldn't be comfortable doing that, which is why I think I will be staying at home for Xmas day x

 

[Mummy to be x]

Totally off topic, but have you been watching hollyoaks?! I can't get enough of it right now!

 

[ab75]

Decided I am staying team yellow as that is what I originally wanted. Dh says to book private scan for when I am 20 weeks so that they have more chance of getting it right!! I said they would know at 18 weeks so he said to just do what I want, so unless I get a sneaky peek at my 20,24,28 and 34 week scan I am going for the surprise!! Xx

 

[Mummy to be x]

Ab you are so patient! I was looking forward to finding out what your having x

 

[UniqueBeauty]

I LOVE Hollyoaks, never miss it!

And no! the first time when he was 6 weeks old I took his moses basket, next when he was 6 months MIL said she had a carrycot for him to sleep in so fair enough I didn't take anything. Baring in mind he had a routine where he went in his own bed every night all night. His feet were hanging out and so was his head!! He had to sleep in a tiny bed with me and OH and after that he's always slept with us.. He'll sometimes sleep through, we put him in his own bed but he comes into us in the am. Other times they have said he can have the cots (which he hated, he was older than 1) oh it's ridiculous! I think I'll definitely put my foot down this year. I'll be almost 38 weeks :l


I was excited for Ab too Mummy


Are you both watching OBEM? hehe x

 

[ab75]

Lol so was I but I think dh really wants to know so I am happy to wait haha. But told him we must have a boys name picked as well as a girls as I want the baby named at birth, not 3 days later. He just started moaning about having plenty of time and stop stressing about it.
Doing my head in tonight, lol, had an interview for a different job today and thats all he has talked about which is fair enough but all I want to talk about is baby lol xx

 

[Mummy to be x]

Ugh UB that sucks definitely put your foot down this year x

Ab - men don't get it sometimes do they, if I talk about baby and oh even acts disinterested I get so cross with him

Yes I'm watching OBEM so cute, I cry every time.

 

[Swtpinkbabi]

Hi all, I go see my OB tomorrow morning. I'm really hoping for a sneak peek at the baby's goods. I also think I felt the baby moving for the first time today on the way to work . It's very rainy out, I believe he/she might have wanted to stay in bed. I know I did.
How's everyone?
