Getting Ready For Baby Challenge - Part 9

Oh Jupiter They are soooo cute!! I'm glad you had a lovely time away!

Sorry you still feel rubbish Grumpy... Don't be too mad with DH I know its easy to say but you both sound like such an amazing couple! Maybe just try stayed relaxed and laying down for a bit longer your body needs time to recover!

HB i'm 17 weeks today but going to the baby show tomorrow to get pretty much everything we need so wanted to know if its a boy or a girl!

Mrs I hope you have a lovely Spa day today i'm so jealous! Lol

Seven the worrying in completely normal! I think it's because you start turning into a Mum straight away lol

JB and Mrs were right... it is very much a little baby Noah in there! 💙💙💙

Glad you had a lovely time Jupiter. How cute is that wee set for baby jupes!

My shopping trip was successful, managed to get a couple of pairs of jeans which have a bit of room spare so hopefully I can get a good bit of wear out of them before I need to buy maternity ones.

Enjoy the Camembert dancing! The TWW fairly drags doesn't it x

So cute Jupiter. Thankfully, not a house, but an office building. And I got out pretty quickly! Hope you had a wonderful time. Good to have you back!

Oh and Devon was absolutely beautiful, had a wonderful and very relaxing time. Don't dare weigh myself for a few days though :) We went to a craft fair yesterday and I couldn't resist this hat and bootie set. First thing we've bought for the baby x

I'm sorry you're still not feeling right grumpy. But I'm glad you've taken yourself home. Is your mum still around? Hopefully you will be able to recover more over the weekend.

Jealous of the nice Scottish weather jb. It's cold, grey, and has been raining a lot down in London. Waiting for summer to arrive!

Currently eating Camembert. Just because I can. Though I'd definitely rather be 19 weeks today. Hoping my ability to eat it disappears soon!! Trying hard to not count down the days until I can test!

Hi everyone, I’m back! I’ve missed you all but really enjoyed catching up on the last few pages…although grumpy I am so sorry to read what you’ve been through. I can’t imagine all the emotions that must be whirling around your head. Thinking of you. Hope you’re looking after yourself. Parnsips too, what a horrible time you’ve had. Sending lots of love.

Yaaaaaay, seven - HUGE congratulations to lovely you! I’m so thrilled for you both. It’s the most surreal feeling in the world looking at that test isn’t it. Don’t panic about every niggle and weird feeling, it’s all so normal. Welcome to the first trimester and over analysis of every bodily change.

confused so excited to hear about later! I think a girl still :)

buzz looks like you had the most amazing hen do, so glad it was fun. Tigger hope you’re having a happy day wedding planning (amongst other things…)

Dancing did your client lock you in the house?!? Or was it accidental? Terrifying. I really hope you’re feeling a bit better today too.

Hope you had happy birthdays Tigger and MrsC

Otters I really hope the consultant appointment goes well? Is it mainly around what’s happening with the clomid?

MrsC glad your last day went okay - onwards to new adventures. Good luck lovely.

Mummy the spa sounds heavenly!

JB how did the shopping go? I’ve just ordered my first pair of maternity jeans.. exciting.

Have a gorgeous trip Wilde!

charl August will be here before you know it

Hb how are you lovely? Enjoy your babysitting! When is your scan? Must be really soon.

orange how are you and the orange-family bearing up?

Phew, think that’s all caught up xx

Well I lasted about three and a half hours.. just left because the bleeding got heavier again and although I know it should be just like a period now it still freaks me out, and I didn't want to panic at the office, was feeling weak and faint so no point staying.

grumpy hope you manage to make it through work and take dancing's advice.

Tigger have fun seeing the tipis and dinner: oh and enjoy 'working from home' nudge nudge wink wink

Natur enjoy your weekend away, sounds lovely to get away from the hustle and bustle.

otters hope you managed to stay up for DH getting home.

Would you believe the weather in a Scotland has been lovely the last couple of days so have been out lots of walks on my week off topping up those vitamin D levels.

confused good luck for you scan. I'm going to guess that it's Noah you are having.

Enjoy the spa MrsC! mummy did you get to enjoy the spa at centre parks?

seven I have those panics too, everyday! I worry why I don't have symptoms but at same time I really don't want morning sickness either! I've made it to 6 weeks today and now baby is the size of a blueberry.

Thanks MrsC that's a good idea. Also just told my best friend and her reaction was so funny (even though she is totally freaked out by babies...ha) and anyway she put my mind at ease. Now I must go do work!!!! xx

Oh grumpy you poor thing, it's so hard to process let alone at work, do what you need to do for you, there's so many emotions and it's impossible to make sense of it all xx

confused good luck with the scan I'm guessing a boy!

seven it's a very worrying time I know but you have to believe everything will be ok, otherwise you'll drive yourself mad. It's such a roller coaster!
tigger hope you enjoyed the lie in and possibly making a baby yayyyyyyy xx
hb enjoy the babysitting!
natur enjoy Clare, nowhere like it xx
mummy hope your shift flies by!

Just getting ready for heading off to the spa, appointment at 11

Grumpy take care of yourself. Go home if you need to. I had a panic attack the day I went back to work, it was really horrible. You are the most important thing. Hope it gets better for you.

Good luck confused. Hope all goes well.

Ha, no wonder it was quiet yesterday. My app was working ok... watch this not post now.

Enjoy the spa mrsc and the weekend away Wilde.

Wow confused ... are you 20 weeks already?? Or is this a private scan? Very exciting!!

Oh Grumpy can't believe you have to go into work do you have your own office you can hide away in?? Hope the day goes super quick for you x

Ah bet you're glad you're working from home today tigger

Good luck confused!!! How far along are you now?

Lots of Love Grumpy

I'm feeling anxious and worried that this isn't going to last..In my head I'm telling myself that it's normal and what will be will be but then it's like I'm being possessed by a crazy person googling every niggle and worrying when it goes away. Going to try and focus on work today and keeping busy!

Grumpy I'm sorry to hear you're having such a crap day. Just have to take it each step at a time.

Confused I'm going for girl for you!

Hb I'm all for staying in bed when it's raining. Had a lovely long lie in this morning listening to the pitter patter of the rain

I'm back at work today, fighting back tears every step I take. I feel unreasonably angry with DH, I don't understand why. I can't believe I'm not having my baby in December.
Sorry to put a downer on you guys. I feel shell shocked.

Tigger good luck with the DTD today, I'm happy it's fun again for you.

Confused enjoy the scan, all the best, hope all is well and you'll know if it's Freya or Noah so soon x

I'm glad I wasn't the only one who couldn't post from Mobile yesterday!

Happy belated Birthdays ladies! Tigger So exciting about static Smley today so here's hoping for a special little gift for you!!

Mummy can you cancel Bank Shift? If not at least think of the extra monies!

Otters I hope DH came home so you could DTD... our men are going a bit awol with the drinks atm! Lol

Natur I hope you have a nice time away!

Today is scan day... I have been up since 6 (which is still a lay in for me! Lol) but i'm so nervous... any guesses on if a Boy or Girl are welcome! Lol

Yay for a static tigger !!! I don't think u need any humping encouragement this month!

Morning!

Yeah, wrote three long posts yesterday and none would post! Annoying!

Just about to get up but can hear rain and would much rather stay in bed! Babysitting my nephew this eve so that should be a laugh!

Morning all! I very much enjoyed a few glasses of bubbles and wine and maybe a gin lol. Thanks for all the lovely birthday messages. Thankfully I'm working from home today!! We're off to see the tipi company we're going to use (same as you buzz) set up for a wedding as we couldn't go to their open day and the don't have another till march. So we're going to make an evening of it and head out for dinner too. Sat we've got our friends over for bday BBQ so keep fingers crossed the weather turns a bit nicer.

I got my static smiley today so as we're both working from home..... I'm getting a bit of cramping on my right, that's my lucky side lol so fingers crossed. Have a great day everyone.

End of center parcs week. Knackered. Wishing I hadn't signed up for a bank shift on Sunday on labour ward 😴

I couldn't post yesterday...site issue with mobile version. Fixed now!

In rural Clare for the weekend, stunning and great to get away from the city!

Enjoy Friday all

Yes I agree MrsC something very wrong. Hopefully it's fixed today! Enjoy the spa lovely xx

Hope you got your hump in otters xx
