March 2016 Babies! Here's thread #5!!

[Paperblank]

New one!!

Oh, thank god I'm not the only one vroc! What have you been buying? I NEED to stop!

Has anyone been pram shopping yet? What's everyone going for?

I've got my eye on a Silvercross Wayfarer and really can't see past it. Was going to settle for something a bit cheaper though in the mothercare Roam as its great value for what it is but today my parents told us they're giving us £400 towards a pram so looks like we can splash out on the wayfarer after all. So excited now to buy it

Also, got good news at hospital today, seems my BP medication is doing its job as my BP came down to 124/66 today which is the lowest mine has ever been during any of my pregnancies! Next appt is my 20week scan on Tuesday which isn't coming quick enough!

That's brilliant news, Misdee! You must be so relieved. Are you finding out the baby's sex? You have two DDs don't you?

I'm hoping to get the Cosatto Giggle 2, probably at the end of January :) I'd love to have it sooner but it'd just collect dust in the utility!

I should probably take my own advice from the other day but I'm so worried/guilty for the baby, I've been crying almost constantly since yesterday tea time (well, apart from when I was sleeping obv!) Feel so bad :(

I'll need to have a look at that then as just now I can't see past the wayfarer at all.

Yeah well remembered, I have 2 dd's just now. Looks like I'm having to give in and find out, my dp and the kids are desperate to know. I am too now if I'm honest but I didn't with the girls so wasn't going to this time either. Excited for Tuesday though to see if we are team pink or team blue just hope I don't regret finding out!

It's easier said than done to relax and not worry/get upset. I honestly cry at least once a day for no real reason pathetic tbh!

Giggle is lovely, which design are you going for? Nice and colourful and they're actually quite similar to the wayfarer.

Not pathetic, just hormones! :) right now I'm convinced DH doesn't care about me, but I don't know how much hormones are distorting my thinking? It's really messing my head up!

I think probably the Moonwood :) I've never seen one round where we live!

I don't think you'd regret finding out - I've found out three times and had one surprise, but was happy with each decision :)

Aww I'm sure he really does care, sometimes though I think men can be really insensitive without realising it. Hormones have a lot to answer for!

Yeah most people I've spoken to that's found out haven't regretted it, only one or two have. What made u not find out with one of yours?

The giggle 2 in moon wood is gorgeous, googling it just now. I like the firebird, oh la la and flamingo fling. Not sure I'd be confident enough to have any right enough as they're so different but they really are lovely. I haven't seen anyone round here with any of them.

Yeh definitely!

I like those ones as well, but couldn't have ooh la la as red clashes with pink

Just wanted a surprise, already had a boy and a girl so I didn't have a preference. But DH persuaded me to find out, so I asked at the scan and the sonographer couldn't tell us anyway!

Hi ladies. I've not been on recently as I'm in a really bad place with my anxiety. I'm absolutely convinced I have cancer due to a few health problems I have been having (pre pregnancy). Anyway I couldn't face coming on here and talking about our lovely pregnancies but I feel a bit ready to reach back out so thought I would say hello. My gorgeous baby is perfect and due on March 2nd and we found out today she's a girl. I'm thrilled. Hope you're all well xxxx

Beautiful some clothes, a blanket and a changing unit!! I was spending far too long browsing and not enough time working.

Good news on the bp missdee

Congrats on the girl Gem, another one for team pink!!! Hope the scan has helped with anxiety a little bit.

Congratulations gem! Brilliant news. Really hope you're coping ok; I'm going a bit downhill now. So mad I may have another shit few months where I'm insecure and unhappy and should be glowing and excited.

Vroc that sounds ok to me! Our babies can't go around naked can they

Aw gem I'm so glad you're feeling a bit better. I can suffer from crippling anxiety at times and it makes enjoying pregnancy harder, as the things to worry about magnify by about 100. I hope you have a good support network at home, and glad you are back here :) Congrats on the girl (me too!) and hope there are lots of cute baby things you can start thinking about now to keep your mind in a positive place and away from other concerns.

Congrats Pug on the boy - awesome!

beaut hope you're feeling better too! Of course your hubby cares silly

Aw Gem! Glad you're feeling a bit better to say hello on here, so sorry you're having such a crap time though . Hope your scan reassured you a bit.

Thanks for the well wishes on my BP. I'm so glad it's came down a bit, albeit helped along with meds. Not caring as long as they're doing the job.

Oh, never thought of that Beautiful! But then, I'm rubbish with matching colours etc. I'm thinking I'll go for the wayfarer in chilli red for either a girl or a boy. You think it'd be ok for a girl? It's either that or the damson purple? Thoughts/opinions welcome.

Red is definitely unisex! I just have a weird thing with red and pink together (never wear red myself!)

Neither do I. But then I mostly live in black as I've convinced myself it makes me look slimmer lol

Black is definitely slimming!! That and having a tan. It's a shame I had to spend all summer indoors throwing up! Haha

(Rushes out to buy more black clothes and some Garnier self tan!!)

Congratulations on the scan pug and gem and also welcome back!! Hope you find some reassurance by running anxieties past everyone on here. I don't get on as much as some but have been overwhelmed at some peoples input and how easy it is to open up on here!! Beautiful you seem so caring and thoughtful it seems unfair you seem so down yourself!!

Brilliant news for you too misdee!!

Rosie* very jealous of your upcoming travels, would love a little burst of warmth and relaxation!! Have a great time!!

My scan went well today...after my insistence of not finding out again....I've come away team blue!! Decided I needed a kick up the backside in getting ready and acknowledging that in 20 weeks I WILL be having a baby...so yeah baby blue it is!! All seemingly well although have to have another scan next week as couldn't quite get all necessary measurements!!! Dd is delighted she can share her dinosaurs!!

Fab news poppins! Congrats :-)

I second the tan being slimming. Sadly I'm ghostly white just now though. One of my colleagues actually commented on how pale I was yesterday n said I should get myself a fake tan to prevent me looking like a ghost at Halloween good job I'm not easily offended! Lol

Miss I'm too going for the cosatto, they're lightweight and so cute, but like Beautiful said I don't want to buy it now and it'll get dusty, my cats will think it's their new bed haha

poppins thank you so much, I'll try and enjoy my holiday without stressing out, need to just chill and stop worrying all the time!!

Gem glad you're feeling a little bit better and welcome to club pink

Been looking at kiddiecare and they're doing a brilliant offer where they're selling a 3 piece furniture for £199!!! hopefully the offer is still on when I come back from holiday, definitely going for that!!

Congratulations poppins! I have to admit I do love dinosaurs, wish my children were more interested!

I know this thread probably isn't the place but I'm having a really, really shit time atm. When me and DH split up in April it was for very good reasons and I probably shouldn't have gone back, but I missed him so much and also had the three DC to think about!

Then of course in June I fell pregnant and tbh I was optimistic and excited - really thought he'd change. I don't think he has, and I feel SO fucking stupid. I finally had my confidence and body and social life back and now it's all gone and he just carries on doing as he pleases.

I spent all day yesterday crying and was so worried about the baby, so I poured my heart out to him and he just ignored me! Didn't answer the phone or ring me back. Then when he did text he was like wtf are you on about? Not acknowledging how upset I was at all.

He was supposed to be coming here this morning at half 10 to see the kids (and me!) and I had to practically beg. Why the hell should I chase him up on this?! Then he just said "you're just being silly now, no i don't want to see them when you're being like this". What the hell?!

I think he was probably out in town and drunk, which is why we split up in the first place. And he's supposed to be resting his foot, and revising for his exam, so if he was I'll be even more upset.

The kids deserve more than a mum who is crying and snapping at them all day. And my poor baby :(

Oh Beautiful, I'm sorry you're having such a shit time. Do you have family etc around who might be able to help take the pressure off you a bit?

I don't speak to my family :(

That's what gets me when I'm really feeling sorry for myself - the two people who should be there for me unconditionally (husband and mum!) don't give a crap! Keep willing myself to get out of bed and start the day but need to stop crying first.

Congrats on your little man Poppins! Also welcome back Gem and hope you are feeling better with the news of your little girl.

Pug, happy to hear about your healthy little boy.
