OVER HERE!!! Due April 2015

[cinnamongreyhound]

Whoops we ran out of thread! Tried to post and couldn't, hope someone else hasn't already started one :)

Nunkie I'd advise calling medicom, they'll know if it's something that needs checking out or if it's ok, but I would be a little worried myself...

My scan is on Thursday and I'm counting down the hours! I just want to know if everything's ok, especially as I'm finally keeping down solid food (though if hubby doesn't get his ass down the shops to get my my roast chicken for LUNCH in the next five minutes screw solid food I'm eating the bloody sofa!) and Hubby as been crashing and burning before me most nights this week so I can safely say I'm no longer tired... O.o

Once we've found out what we're having we'll deal with DD's room, as it's a bit pink so will need an injection of blue if we're putting a boy in there with her, but even so the baby will stay in with us till they're about 6 months.

nunkie that does sound worrying. Not that you should necessarily panic, but I would go and get checked out to set your mind at rest. The EPU are usually really nice and otherwise you’ll be having to worry until 20 weeks which is a long old time. I don’t think the doc would be able to hear a heartbeat yet, or I’d suggest that.

Lots of folk with renovation plans – I’m getting more excited this time. We’ve emptied out DH’s study and thinking about how to make it into a nice room for DD, so that she can move over there and the new baby can then have her room (which is next door to us). Less likely the new baby will wake her, is the theory. And we didn’t do any decoration for her as we moved here when I was 35 weeks so was too knackered – it has curtains and a bed and magnolia walls and beige carpet etc! I did get some wall stickers about six months ago – birds a bit like you daholster though stickers easier for DIY numpties like me than wallpaper. I think I’m going to go for pink paint plus stickers for her new room – she’s nearly two and I think that age of girl just really likes it. It’ll be the only room in the house that’s not magnolia so it should hopefully make her feel special too. And less likes she’s feeling evicted in honour of the new baby! Though obviously baby will be in with me inititally, I suspect he/she will end up having to go to her room earlier than six months.

lindalove well done you with knitting – so impressed with skills like that. I can make a basic curtain but my scarves get wider and wider when knitting so don’t think a garment would work out well!

riverrocks white is also the colour of mourning in India. Widows usually wear white. And, another random fact, they don’t have pink for girls necessarily. I complemented someone on their daughter and massively offended them as he was a boy (and boys considered to be better than girls).

lauren hope you’re feeling better today and that bean holds on in there.

12 weeks today. Scan on Thursday! We’ve told quite a few people for various reasons (MIL stayed with us for a month – would have been hard to hide it!) so fingers crossed no bad news on scan day (and blood tests etc).

Ooops sorry Nunkie, I tried to check back about scans but computer wasn't cooperating! Definitely not ectopic then Sounds like growing pain is most likely.

Dopplers are good but if you have any concerns you should still get checked out even if you find a heartbeat... Must dig mine out actually

Hello again everyone!!
so lovely to hear everyone getting excited for their first scans. We got a cheeky little early peek at our marble and ended up with a scan at 11 weeks. I went to my booking appointment on Tuesday and mentioned i'd had an occurrence of very light, brown spotting so she called the hospital and got me an appointment same day. She did make me feel like a terrible person though when i told her id spotted and she said "well why didn't you go to A&E then" made me feel really ashamed but i understand that they are just concerned, just wasn't keen on her abrupt unfriendly attitude .
Turns out we were a few days out and im actually 12weeks tomorrow and they've said I might as well have another scan at 13 weeks, in the nurses words "might as well get what you can out of the NHS and have another peek at baby" hearing her use the "b" word made it seem more real seen as we've just been calling it Marble, or it :/
Good luck to everyone having their scans! and hope your doing good still Nunkie

On the topic of nursery colours our spare room ins already a creamy yellow so we'll just keep it as that for now seen as we only did it last year and maybe when he/she is a little older we can decorate it with whatever he/she might be into.

Also nicce to hear other people not planning on finding out the sex. I seem to keep getting confused faces when I say were not finding out and comments like "oh your going to have to dress it in beige, why not find out so you can prepare" anyone else finding that other people want to know the sex more than you do?!

DS3's room is magnolia with wood-effect laminate floor, green curtains and Winnie the Pooh wall stickers. The only 'boyish' thing is a car light shade so easy enough to change if DC4 turns out to be a girl. At the moment I'm thinking DS3 will share with DS2, they'll be 9 and 3 by the time the baby goes into his/her own room. DS3 is a rubbish sleeper though so it will depend on that.

Is someone going to start a new thread before this one runs out so we can all move over in an orderly fashion? I can't do it as I'm rubbish at thinking of thread titles!

Hidingthefear we didn't find out with DD and to be honest she lived in vests and baby grows till she was about 3 months. They were mainly white but I had a few yellow and green ones too and ones with spots and other random patterns on them. Can't say I actually had anything beige. I packed it all way and put it in the loft. It's pretty gender neutral so why not use it again. Some of it was barely used.

I've been so busy today, did some of the beading with DH this afternoon. Had to silently laugh my ass off at him getting stressed over not being able to hammer a nail in. I did the hammering in the end! Then we sanded and slapped a coat of undercoat on our front door. Looks horrendous at the moment with it looking so patchy but another coat tomorrow after work and we can slap the new gloss on it by the weekend. Hoping the rain holds off while it's drying though. knackered now but at least tea is in the oven and I only have to keep my eyes open till 7 when I put DD to bed.

Got my booking appointment with the mw on Tuesday so hopefully will get a scan date then.

How about this one -www.mumsnet.com/Talk/antenatal_clubs/2196150-Tiptoeing-into-the-Second-Trimester-Due-April-2015

Ooh I had text off a midwife this afternoon and my booking in is tomorrow. Exciting. Will have DD at home who we haven't told yet though, so will have to do some miming to the midwife!

As a link hopefully

How old is she HippoPottyMouth? Ds was almost 4 and had no idea what was going on!

Ah yes that's far more helpful as a link, thanks! I'd forgotten it didn't just work on here automagically!

She is also nearly 4 - birthday in November, so I should think it'll be OK to chat without her twigging, yes. Glad to hear it's not impossible!

Is it me or has this thread has no activity for two days?? Any one here?

It's you JeewizzJen, we're all here and chatting!

No not here, sorry, we've moved to the new thread, link is a couple of posts up!
