As per the title...

Fingers crossed for sticky beans and well behaved toddlers !

Try ebay have! Im doing a lot of lurking around seraphine and isabella oliver on there. I gave away all my maternity stuff post dd2 so its like starting from scratch again this time (and this is definitely the last!).

I got one short sleeved top from eBay - been keeping my eye on I O stuff as well. Seraphine comes up a lot - is it any good?

This is going to be the eBay baby! Going to be after a phil & teds and no way I can justify buying new

Hello Ladies,
Thank you HaveYouTriedARewardChart for the link over and for your comments. Glad im not the only one who has felt this crappy with no3. Know it will pass, but wasnt expecting it at all.
Think we are going to go the phil & teds route too, mothercare outlet is worth a look if there is a store near you.

Thanks. How old are your dc muma and are they girls or boys?

I need a sling and a bouncy chair thing too.

I gave everything away after dd2!

Not sure about pushchairs, we have a mamas and papas sola (ebay!) but needs a damn good clean and will need some kind of newborn adaptor thing I think.

Oo will need a new high chair too, ours went to the tip!

I have a DS who is 6 and a DD who will be one 6th April. How about you Have? x

6 and 2.5 both DSs

No wonder you're exhausted! Given my last age gap of almost four years I thought I was being adventurous being pregnant with a two year old.....

Although I am a lot lot iller this time, I found giving attention to my eldest really hard last time. Memories of making up games which involved me lying in bed, sitting on the floor without moving. Now, although there's more bedtime stories, looking for shoes and fights over who gets which bowl, they entertain each other so I am left alone a lot more. Thank god!

How are you feeling? My worst weeks this time were 8 and 10. It's a slow process but at the end of week 10 I definitely turned a corner. Hope you manage the same or even sooner!

Im feeling a little better as the nausea has eased up a bit. the tiredness is still there but a little easier without wanting to throw up every 2 minutes. Last week was the worst so far. managed to take the kids swimming today, first exercise ive managed to do in 3 weeks. safe to say its used up any spare energy i had though. How has your appetite been?? i have zero in the mornings but by late evenings i just want to eat rubbish. like a small craving for quarter pounder's with cheese from McD's :(

Hello everyone.

I'm 16 weeks today and starting to feel more normal recently. Just so tired, going to bed at 9pm most nights. We had a 4d scan this morning to find out what we are having as my boyfriend might miss my 20 week one and we could take the boys as the youngest seems to be in denial and has become much more clingy.

Hope everyone who is feeling ok is enjoying and those that still feel poorly, this stage will pass eventually!

muma in this pg I've had a maccy's phase, a starvation phase, a bk phase and a massive fry up every day phase. That's kind of still ongoing! Luckily feel more like real food now and am spending a fortune on raspberries. I never feel actual hunger or thirst in pg. Just I know if I start feeling really crap I need to eat.

kirsty nice to hear from you. My youngest, 2.5, is talking a lot more about the baby now he can see my tummy and at the same time getting really clingy. Abd more tantrums and unreasonable behaviour. .... but then he is 2!

Are you going to share the gender? I'm determined not to!

DS1 today: when your baby comes out your tummy will be perfect....
Me: oh thanks but
DS1. .... for blowing raspberries on!

I'm quite slim but my tummy is like one of the horror shows from embarrassing bodies - not so great for me but lots of fun for kids to play with apparently!

Hi,

We took the children to help them bond and seems to work, the youngest has started talking about when baby is here and kissing it.

I told a few people, my parents needed to get used to the idea as they were set on what they hoped it to be. Most people guessed as soon as I said I wasn't saying!

Feeling slightly better and managing to do more. Planning a big sort out tomorrow, now I know what were having I know whether to chuck or keep the boys older clothes and try and find some maternity clothes I think I kept!

Got my NHS scan on 17th, quite nervous if everything will be ok. Baby seemed to be moving loads and had emptied the bladder so seems ok so far, but wasn't a medical scan.

how is everyone keeping?

my gender scan is a week on saturday and its dragging in ! once we know we have mountains of baby clothes to sort out and even if another boy there is alot of stuff to get rid off as i have kept everything :(

Will any of you have your 2 dc sharing rooms now? We are going to need to move the boys ( ds1 is 3.4, and ds2 is 2.1 ) in together soon which I am DREADING as ds2 is a good sleeper and often sleeps until 7:30 or 8am whereas ds1 wakes anytime from 5 :(

also will mean fitting all their clothes into the same room..... arghhhhh

My 2 boys are in the same room already. We ended up putting them together in the hope that the oldest would stop coming in our bed every night. It worked. The oldest tends to get up first and doesn't always wake the younger, they are getting more chatty at night though, rather than going straight to sleep! They are 5.5 and nearly 4.

Im trying to understand what the first guess would be kirsty when you said you weren't going to tell anyone!! I'm not sure id have an immediate guess based on that!

We're finding out on Monday. Exxited. Ill probably tell everyone, i normally do :)

Clara my 2 ds share a room too - keeps them happy, never any problems at bedtime, they just chatter to each other for a bit. Ds1 (6) never wakes up when ds2 is kicking off in the middle of the night.(he's been waking up at 430 and not going back to sleep - nasty!)

Hi everyone else. Enjoy your scans! Good luck keeping the secret if you're going to. I'm worried about giving the game away!

4 months today. Bump is big and pointy. I look and feel at least six months. .....

Hi everyone
Clara we will be moving the dds into share. I haven't told them yet that we are having a baby, thought we would wait until after the 20 week scan. We are not finding out the sex, DH would like to but I prefer the surprise.

Khow much are you all showing now? I have told my work and it did not go down well, but pleased they know.

My boys have just gone into their own rooms. Their Dad thinks we will be moving before baby needs their own room, so not a problem!! Youngest not keen and had me up or in my bed all night as doesn't like being alone. Nowhere to put any baby stuff now.

I think I had mentioned I hoped it was a girl to stop the older 2 feeling threatened by another child and the age gap would not be as much as a problem as more likely to be doing different things and not as likely to feel left out. So when I said I wasn't telling they guessed another boy and were right! My parents were disappointed but I'm ok.

Hope everyone's having a good weekend.

all sound positive of dc already sharing although much older than my 2 :(

age gap wise I am worried this time is such a "big" gap ( 2.5 yrs & 3.9 yrs ) compared to my first ( 15 months ) and the boys are so close together I worry the 3rd will be left out so am hoping if this baby was a boy it would make it easier , a week today and we will know!

Congratulations kirsty! Three boys will be so lovely I think.

Im sorry your parents were disappointed, thats a bit of an unhelpful thing to share with you imo.

All that matters is thats it healthy. We've got a scan Monday for finding out gender and I am getting so many comments from people about finally getting a boy I am feeling a bit worried about it. We have a lot of Italian connections and over there they are obsessed with having a 'maschio'.

Im actually thinking three girls might be easier than 2 girls and a boy now! Only issue with 3 girls would be thinking of a third girls name!

We have decided not to di sharing - we had a large master bedroom and have made a small bedroom out of one part of it instead.

I couldn't face moving dd2 out of her room when I'd just finished getting it all ready for her!

How's everyone getting on? Start of the Easter holidays, it's better than getting them sorted for the school run.

Got my scan on Thursday, get the sex reconfirmed and hoping everything looks ok, am getting a bit nervous as felt movement a couple of weeks ago but nothing since.

Hope everyone who's scans are due are getting reassured and everyone's feeling OK.

We found out that dc3 will be ds1 the other week! Exciting by also slightly more nervous, I know what to do with girls! Dh is happy that there might be more dinosaurs/space/sport things in the house to counteract the dolls and pink.

We are all enjoying the weather. I find being able to be outside with kids (even just in the garden!) is so much more fun.

Congratulations Pomme. All my friends that had a girl followed by a boy found the boy much more straightforward and enjoyed all the extra cuddles boys want. I know they are all different though.

Exciting Pomme! Boys are lovely. At least, mine are

Only just reset my password. Been off in the back of beyond with no wifi for a week. Been great! Back at work on Wednesday, no doubt I shall be popping on here a bit more frequently.

20 weeks today. (and still feeling sick!!)

Welcome back have! Sorry to hear about the sickness, thats rubbish. My guess on your gender is girl based solely on that :)

I am looking forward to seeing what a boys like - dh is adamant he will be less stroppy than our two girls!
