Jue in June - part 4

[BarbieLovesKen]

And heres another ladies!!!!

Hi all! I'm afraid it's going to take a while to get to know peeps, there are about a squillion of us on here! (and my brain seems very tiny at the moment )

Just wanted to pass on what my two ds' reaction was to the pregnancy news... they were SO excited, jumping around and whooping, me and dh just kind of looked at each other wide eyed as we'd been kind of emotionally numb since the m/cs - the kids reminded us how exciting it really is!! My 5yr old said in to my belly button 'hello baby, i love you baby!... if you're a boyb that is, not if you're a girl'

priceless!

I hate work (its a very long story I won't bore you).

moomin I've had a virtually sympton free pregnancy (although when I thought long and hard about it I did have more symptons than I realised- I just wasn't having many of the unpleasent ones) so I was very worried when I had the scan and I had two perfectly healthly babies in there! So I'd try not to worry yourself xx

We're going to find out the sex. Wasn't going to originally but now we need double stuff we might as well get the right things. I'm the same as you neenew lots of girls names I like but only one boys name (and I'm not even quite sure about that).

Thank you all for the reassurance........i know im being daft but as the day gets closer i just feel so scared. I just want everything to be ok.......

Off out tonight and as everyone now knows there will be no pretend drinking and i can have a coke without any guilt. Hopefully DH will be home soon. I do miss him in the week. A bonus night though this weekend as he is off monday for the scan

neenewps everyone's different so maybe it was. :o

frida so glad you got a good reaction. ds probably won't understand and not sure how dss is going to react.

clarkiee so sorry work's being awful for you.

so sorry another rant, i know this should be on the aibu but you get really odd replys on there sometimes.

i am so angry i'm spitting feathers pre pg i would have opened a bottle of wine, but now am just venting on here (you poor people):0
dh ex' bday tomorrow so she's out tonight, fair enough, dh agreed to have dss fair enough, not a problem i love dss. but dh suddenly decided he was tired and wasn't going to do anything, he asked dss if he wanted pasta for dinner, i said i didn't fancy it i fancied some chips, which i'd been telling him allday. an hour later dss asked what's for dinner dh at this point said you guys can't make up your mind, i said well i've been telling you chips allday, if you want to do pasta do it, oh not in the mood now just go get the chips, again been telling him all afternoon my back hurt and was getting pains in my stomach. oh well i'm to tired. argh so dss and ds have both had cereal. i've still had nothing. i lost my temper at dh and he's actually gone to bed leaving me to look after both of them. argh. now sounds like dss is crying in the bath, i'll have to go.

Oh cep im sorry you having such a tough time. Sounds like your DH needs a slap.....

clarkie I hope your work gets better soon :(

cep have you got some potatoes? I have just put chips in and love them done in the oven. Don't peel, just chop, pour olive oil over them plus a little salt and whack them in the oven for 40 mins or so. Failing that I hope your DH sees sense and goes and gets some for you :o

frida welcome and lovely to hear that your LO's reacted so well to having a little brother or sister :)

I'm with moomin cep. Either that or order some chips from a company that delivers and just eat them, you and DSS, and don't let your DH have any. Make sure to cover them in loads of vinegar or whatever else he might like and make lots of yummy noises. Cereal indeed!

Hope DSS was okay.

Oh cep men can be so thoughtless sometimes can't they! My husband often forgets things I say -I think he just doesn't listen sometimes. Is there anywhere that delivers near you? Think you should treat yourself to a take away-that's what I did tonight!

Scan day tomorrow, although I did a sneaky scan myself this morning and could see the flicker of a heartbeat-sadly the scanner isn't as clear as the medical ones so baby just looked like a blob! Will be announcing on facebook tomorrow if all ok!

Anyone else with scans tomorrow?

clarkie sorry to hear work is rubbish-I have been feeling the same this weeks since one of the other vets us leaving at the end of the year and they are not replacing her until March-there are only 2 of us left and we are both pregnant!!! Nit going to be great!

Oh cep you poor thing definately treat yourself and dss. Men can be so bloody selfish sometimes.

Im really excited - its the Late Late Toy Show tonight!!!!!! the biggest night of the year . No such thing as bedtime and dh has gone into town to get me an Indian takeaway and some chocolate.. drool.. Now.. to find a way to share with Cep..

I'm a big fan of finding out the sex. I found out with DD at 11 weeks (different rules in the Middle East where I was spending my first trimester), and then was able to talk about her rather than it, which made it all seem much more real. And we had a hard enough time agreeing on a girl's name, it would have been a nightmare trying to come up with both. When I finally gave birth there was so much other emotion going on in that room I think the boy/girl announcement would have got a bit lost.

And I definitely want to know with this one, so we can start telling DD she's going to have a baby bro/sis, to help her get used to the idea.

With the dental stuff, I had crappy bleeding gums last time. It terrified me the first time I saw the blood on my toothbrush, but fortunately have a dental nurse friend who told me it was fine and nothing to worry about. And my eyesight got so bad. It was already pretty crap, but it dropped further. the optician assured me it would go back to what it had been after the birth, but he was a big fat liar. So I'm expecting to be registered blind after this one!

This pregnancy lark really does take the biscuit a little - when are they going to figure out how to get men to do it?

Think its a huge pro to be able to tell another child that they are getting a brother or sister, it prepares them that little more, I think.

Would love to see my dh pregnant for even a week. Bah.

Anyone else obsessed with the baby name threads? I cant get off them (Leroy, really enjoyed your Irish baby name one)

I already know if this is a girl its a Kate but there are sooo many gorgeous girls names. Have just seen Juliette on a thread and thought wow! thats gorgeous. Loved Amelia but BILs girlfriend is pregnant too (due 2 weeks after me) and if its a girl she said its definately a Molly, in which case, if I had an Amelia, it would be Milly and Molly PML..

Loved Eliza, Elouise (but dh says no way to both). Grace crossed my mind. I know its a Kate though (if a girl).

Boys names are soooo much harder!!! my favourite boy's name ever is Oisín and we used it for ds so now I feel that if we have a boy, he gets a second best boys name as Oisín was our number 1, when we adore loads of girl's names (Im being ridiculous arent I?)and Im thinking - you do have to sort of "match" with your other DC's names, dont you? ah, its way too early for this, isnt it? I just want to be sure.

kara on my phone, but will get on my hb high horse on your behalf and do some research and pm you over the weekend.

For years I had Benjamin (after my favourite cousin who I haven't seen since we were 10 because of a horrendous divorce) and Marianne (after my much-missed nan) as my top names. Then my first serious boyfriend was a Ben, so that had to go, or people who remember him would assume it was after him. And when I suggested Marianne to the other half when I was expecting DD, he could barely hide his revulsion!

What's wrong with 'child 1' and 'child 2'?!?

Thanks everyone glad to see it's not just me. Thanks ttl Dss was crying but he didn't know why. Dh had the cheek to call me up from downstairs while i was doing ds's nightime camomile tea to go up to see to dss when he was in bed in the room next door. after a little while dss asked dh to come sit in the bathroom with them which eventually he did and now (after i made dss's bed which dh was supposed to do earlier today) suddenly dh is ok and not so tired. came down did himself some toast without asking me if i've even eaten which i still haven't. so i made a smart comment and admittedly dh did offer me one of his but did the cut nose to spite face thing and said no.

I did suggest an order, first he said no to the takeaway thing as we can't afford it but then said i had 10 quid. i just gave up at that point and gave them the cereal. ds doesn't mind as i think he'd prefer to have it every day but dss moaned a bit. but it'l be dh that gets it tomorrow from the ex.

anyway nicer things, i'll stop ranting now, thanks again.

i've taken so long writing this so no doubt will xpost this question but what is the late late toy show??
Am glad everyone is doing so well today, ok i have to ask sarah how did you scan yourself??

ooh i agree i like the name Juliette, doubt dh will though, we had Mia for a girl last time have now added Robyn as an idea. annie for a middle name after my gran. either way it'll spell a word map or rap. (could have been worse i originally thought of samantha)

boys names seriously can't really think of any that we both like. could only think of one before and we used that, like you Barbie, except we can't even think of a 2nd best.

In Ireland, the late late show is the most famous talk show in the country and is on every friday night. Once a year they host the toy show - for Xmas - they have loads of kids on demonstrating toys (all the latest toys out this year!! huge amount donated by the toy shops and all goes to charity) its brilliant. Its been on since I was small (alot longer Id imagine) and (sadly, I know) every adult and child in the country will be in watching it tonight! its the one night of the year that everyone agrees that bedtime is abolished for the kids, fires are lit and Xmas starts!!

Ooooh Robyn is stunning and very under used IMO. Annie is gorgeous (and is my mothers nmae). Mia was on our dds name list.

Cep Robyn is on my list for a girl and also for a boy, but Robin, obv. Not sure if I would spell girl's name with a Y or an I though. Sorry you've had a stressful evening :( You should just go and get in the bath and have a nice soak and then get into bed, let them fend for themselves.

Lisascat, I see nothing wrong with Child1 and Child2. At least they wouldn't have the same names as everyone else in their class

I'm in the finding out the sex camp. Partly so I can prepare, buy cute little non-gender-neutral clothes, partly so I can think about my future little son or daughter and partly because I want a girl but, obviously I will be ecstatic with whatever I get. BUT I can just imagine not knowing, and expecting a girl, which I already am, and giving birth and being told "It's a boy" and doing something stupid like crying or saying "Send it back" or something and spoiling the moment! That sounds stupid doesn't it!

Leroy my skin's always been terrible but it's even worse now :( I could cry

Marie rose sauce is indeed just ketchup and mayo. Some paprika spinkled in is nice as well.

Kara why does that mean you can't have a HB? Sorry am probs being dim. Unless there is a medical reason then you have a right to give birth wherever the hell you like! Take it to the top if you're not getting anywhere with your MW. If you want a HB then don't let anyone talk you out of it (unless there is a medical reason of course!)

would we get that here??? sounds like a lovely tradition.

funnily enough i like it for a girl but not for a boy, i knew a robin where i used to work and he was a bit of a tit.

Annie was always a definate middle name. we used my dads name michael for ds's middlename.

Hello ladies... Happy Friday! I have had a pants week at work, mostly involving being treated as if I've already left but was all put in perspective today with lovely 13 week healthy scan, pics uploaded to profile, was amazing! Enjoy the weekend!!! x

sorry nurse xposted, no offence intended

petitech that's great so glad it went well.

nurse i opened the chrismas quality street and am now sat here slowly eating all those. The shopping goes on dh's account so will probably buy more for christmas. :o

LOL it's ok cep, Robin has no negative connotations for me so I don't mind! Know what you mean though, there are some perfectly nice names I'd never consider cuz of people I knew called it who weren't v nice!

Do you actually have to apply for maternity free prescription card thingie then? I thought you just got sent it

PS nice one cep! Eat ALL his chocolates

My m/w filled the form in for me at our first appointment.

I'm trying desperately to think of short names i like. i do like long names like thomas as an example but dh would want tom. or i quite like daniel but dh prefers danny, which i wouldn't mind as a nn but not proper name. this is going to be a long 9 months.

If you put Daniel on the birth certificate then you can call him Daniel and DH could call him Danny if he wanted. Then baby would have the choice. Names ALWAYS get shortened/changed anyway. My sister's name used to be Ruth (she changed it, long story!) and my mum always called her Snooky!
