Due In Jan 2007 Part 3 -where we do stop worrying & start complaining!

[elliepippamummy]

Thought I'd try an set up the new thread up this works!!

That's great Magnolia, I'm really pleased for you (sounds like you wanted a boy!)

Guess you'll be having fun looking at at the boys baby clothes after 4 girls!

Yep, but can't help thinking how spoilt he will be!! 1st grandson for my parenst and dh's parents!!!

Great news magnolia I bet he'll always be dressed in blue as it'll be a novelty for oyu all to buy a non girly colour!! Have you decided a name for him yet?

Laughalot I know what you mean about DS as my DD loves the idea of babies she'll be 2 in a couple of weeks) but after about half an hour she normally says bye and car to them and tries to kick them out of the house or attempts to put her shoes on if we are at someones house hopefully she'll realise this one will be staying come January!!

Thinking of Christopher or Charlie or Matthew.

Oh magnolia....I am utterly utterly thrilled for you

I know a girl would have been equally as delightful but a boy with 4 big sisters will be just brilliant.

I bet you and Dh are thrilled to bits. It was obviously meant to be with your Dh's little snip not quite working

Really, I'm chuffed to bits for you

wow! great news magnolia, i imagine it's going to be great having a boy after all those girls, new things to learn as i found out after babysitting my friends little boy...didn't know how to put him on the loo for starters and had to phone my friend!

I keep having really strange dreams at the moment all about either the scan or the birth. Last night i dreamt that i gave birth to a 3yr old boy with a ginger afro! and have had other dreams where the scan shows a huge willy!!!

My scan isn't until the middle of september now....can't wait, maybe thats why the dreams!?!

hi everyone......congrats magnolia!!!! we're not too fussed what we have this time so long as it's a healthy baby, but secretly i'd love a girl.

i have had a dating scan, so maybe i'm clutching at straws, i asked DP what he thought, and he got a bit teary and said it would be really nice to think we hadn't lost the one in march, but it was unrealistic, really, wasn't it? i think he's probably right, it just seems odd that i'm getting loads of movement!! oh well, i guess everyone's different eh? and i've got my second scan a week on wednesday (23rd) so we'll find out then.

laughalot - lol re: "Hands down pants!" when we're on the sofa, DP usually has his hands on the bump anyway...he loves to feel it move! i hope we're going to be good parents...i had a really wobbly moment earlier where i was like, "Oh my god! I'm not caring or nuturing enough to be a mum! i'm not enough of a career woman to be a modern mum, or good enough at baking to be a homely mum! waaaah!" still, it's good to know that some of you 'second timers' have the same feelings....reassuring, in an odd way.

anyway, hope you're all well etc....ttfn!

Heres a weird and wonderful wittering from the head of LTH....

I've always doubted stories when I hear about someone who gives birth at full term even though they don't knwo they are PG.

I've always thought "But how/why don't the feel the movemnets??"

Anyway this PG have made me realise of course it is entirely possible because the movements I'm feeling don't feel real. I know it's the baby moving but whenever it does it (like right this very second actually) I always think "Huh...am I really feeling that??"

with Ds3 I felt movement much earlier and I never doubted it for a second that all those flicks, pokes, jabs and flutters were the baby but this time I'm always surprised and question it.

I'm quite sure this pregnancy has sent me doo-lally

Congrats Magnolia, my DH is called Christopher so that'd be my favourite!!

We cannot agree on boys names, got loads of names for girls (Ruth, Maria and Rachel) so thinking it will def be another boy!!

Magnolia that is super news hunny boys are so loving, could you do urban and I a favour though and send us some pink vibes for our scans I keep saying im not bothered but I think a girl would be nice. Lth I think youve gone bannanas lady maybe its wind and not baby lol lol lol I know what you mean though when they are just flutters it not the same as when you get the huge kick , not long hunny and we shall be maoning about the lack of sleep because of all the movements. Is loubie away at the minute iv gone brain dead shes not posted for a bit.

Dragon when are you due ? Is anyone a bit worried about popping early im due 10 th jan my ds was 10 days late but I keep praying it wont come early I would hate to miss my christmas dinner

I am due 10th of Jan too laughalot but they do c sections at 39 weeks so will prob be 3rd or around then. When I went to see them at the hospital, they said they see you afew weeks before and have appt for 14th Dec so will know then what my baby's birthday will be - how weird!! Went 2 weeks over last time so prob wouldnt have been early!

I was worried about missing my christmas dinner too as my dates before scan were pretty close to new year so a week befroe could have been close!!

Laughalot.....it's actually quite nice to have someone agree that i'm nuts!

I think this one must be a girl because my mind has been shot to bits and with all 3 ds's I was really quite sane.

Evening everyone..... so much to catch up on.

Magnolia, congrats on your baby boy.... love the names too

We're all well, but got another 2 weeks till my scan (not having it till 22 wks). Baby kicking/jabbing/poking/moving tonnes - doesn't seem to sleep very much which is scaring me a bit..... am hoping this is not a premonition to how he/she will be as a baby! DD was far less active in the womb than this one...

I'm another one who's worried about missing her xmas dinner! Due on 3rd Jan, but DD was induced at 37 weeks... so who knows with this one. Would be quite nice to have baby already here by xmas, though ... even more excuse then to put my feet up!

Iona x

magnolia a little boy..congrates and fab names...love tradditional names.

Am another one worried about going early but only due to dd being a dec baby and xmas couldsnt afford another big thing that month...lol I am due 14th and ds was 15 days over and dd was on due date but both were induced so we shall see although I did dream last night I had baby on 22nd dec.

just sitting here reading stuff with my hand resting on my belly....and I felt a kick on my hand.

I can no longer be in denial....instaed I'll deny(sp?? i never kno whow to spell that) I'm in denial

LTH: You are officailly as mad as a hatter

Pink vibes for those wanting girls xxxx

It's funny but to be honest I had got myself so prepared for another girl It actually felt a bit weird to hear the word boy.
I kept saying are you sure??
So 3 times she showed us Lets just say he takes after his dad

Might have Ben instead lol

yay...pink vibes!!! LTH congrats on your movements. this is my first so it was really special when it moved for the first time...

i'm due either on the 9th or the 16th, depending on if you take it from my 11 week scan or my LMP. the MW is taking as the 16th so i have longer to go into labour before i have to be induced as i really want to be at home for the birth. was just reading the thread on what you need for a home birth and feel quite encouraged by other people's experiences. we've been asking friends for donations towards a birthing pool pump etc for a wedding present! people have started to ask what we want for wedding gifts (or, in DP's mum's words, "You HAVE to have a wedding gift list, people expect it!") and we've just said baby stuff, which my future MIL was horrified by. god, she does my head in so much!

ok, rant over.....going to have a mcdonald's breakfast.....baby wants it.

Morning everyone...

Magnolia: send pink vibes to me too please!

Urban: I'm with you on the I'm not going to be a good Mum fear,i've even tried practising baking, with disasterous results!

I have a company medical today..which is freaking me out a bit. I know it's probably a good thing, after all it's another person who is checking my (and bumps)welfare.. but just the thought of a creepy doctor feeling my boobs for lumps, and having to give more urine samples for drugs and alcohol testing is FREAKING me out. And I really don't like the idea of my company finding out at the same time as I do if there is something wrong....

Our HR Manager looked at me like I was some pathetic paranoid hormone zombie when I taked to him, and said I would have to go anyway....

wow...nothing like a sympathetic boss is there? hugs

Lol Urban, 'the BABY wants it' is my excuse for eating crap too! Along with a serious wide eyed look at my DH!!

Ordered a long skirt from a maternity website called 'Funmum' and got it sent to me the next day! V impressed as it normally takes days! Skirt is gorgeous and quite fitted but have sent away for a bigger size as it fits too well and prob wont last.
well worth a look

ELM - sympathy about the whole feeling boobs thing. Bad enough with all the messing we have with our docs without others wanting a go! Pretty detailed medical for work though! We just had blood presure and weight and height taken.

Right urban I owe you a massive apology I thought you already had a baby and then I realised after reading down the posts that you had the mc im really sorry there is me telling magnolia to send us pink vibes when im sure you will be gratefull for a healthy pregnancy and baby...... I am going mad I must be mixing folks up on here left right and centre from now on ignore the stupid bloody comments I keep making . Hope everyone else is ok lth maybe its me whos going mad and not you

Yuck...
Feel like I've been turned inside out. I have given 3 tubes of blood, 3 tubes of urine, had sight, lung, and hearing tests. Been prodded all over, had my reflexes, flexibility, co-ordination tested.. been checked for heamorroids (sp) blood pressure, signed on the dotted line so samples can be tested for drugs, alcohol, anti-depressants....

and the good news? I'm 17-18 weeks pregnant!!!
