Hello everyone

Well the deed is done and all is fine thank goodness! So relieved although we were only in there about 5 minutes. Last time I;m sure it took about half and hour, but she said all was OK so guess we have to trust her.

Had a lovely afternoon, DH took us both out for tea and we went to toys r us and bought DS1 a new sand pit table for in the yard. Its lovely, separate water and sand bits and a digger and a great big umbrella.

And for those of you who spotted the clue....we're having....a................................................. .................nother.......................BOY!!! yipeee

I was amazed as last night and today I was convinced we were having a girl, I even referred to the bump as she this morning hope it didn't hear me Had to make the lady repeat herself twice and show me on screen as I didn't belive her.

shattered now so off for a shower and then to bed. promise to catch up with everything over the weekend

take care everyone, bumps and dogs

Congratulations Pheebe , that's fabulous news!

Congrats Pheebe - I'm so excited about having another boy and it seems you are too

I can't wait to see if they are anything alike or totally different

Thanks guys, I am very excited

I had very mixed feelings about having a daughter, I would have been delighted of course don't get me wrong, and a part of me is sad as this will be my last pregnancy. But I found the thought very scary because of something I went through in the past (dim and distant fortunately) and well, its hard to explain but I would have been so so scared for her. I know that probably doesn't make sense!

Anyway, DS is over the moon he's having a little brother and couldn't stop talking about it at the restaurant bless him

Thanks Inzi

I want another one just like DS1 he's perfect in every way... or is that just the cloud 9 I'm on hehehe

Suddenly bub feels like a real little person now he's a he and not an it

Just the tricky problem of names now...

Right, really off for a shower now

take care everyone

hi all, congrats phebee!! i felt and feel the same regarding dd's, i don't know if we're refering to a similar thing but when my dd1 was born, i didn't bond with her for ages as i was gutted that she was a girl, and i felt it would be so much harder to protect her, but its something i've had to put to the back of my mind and just get on with it, this time i'm a bit more relaxed about it being a she, but its still a big worry that i have, hope that all made sense!

ft - i am so bad for cm at the moment, didn't cosider about amniotic fluid, will mention it tommorrow at the antenatal apaointment, but its not watery, its quite thick, sorry if tmi!

well, all my energy has deserted me, had to have a nap today, was waiting in for a workman to fetch 2 screws(would you f**ng believe!) for a cupboard handle(specialised screws apparantly) and he didn't turn up, so was on the web this morning trying to find a 2nd hand cooker locally, and got so fed up i went to sleep. anyway, i did manage to get one and the man i bought it from came to fit it, but there was no bloody wire inside the wall from the connection point to the switch, so i still haven't got a working cooker, another phonecall to the council in the morning

did anybody watch that talent of britain thing tonight? i absolutely cried my eyes out at the little purple witches and then alternatively laughed and cried throughout the show, i think my hormones are a bit crazy at the moment!

right, i'm off to bed, hopefully my cat will not be serenading me at my bedroom window at 5:30 am again, as she has the last few nights, or she will be getting a bucket of water over her head!

sweet dreams everyone

Hi Folks, great news for everyone so pleased! So if I can remember correctly I think that is one more Girl, Boy and Surprise for the list? So for those of you who have found out the flavour of your LO, did it match up with the Chinese chart someone posted on here a while back?

As for P and PIL I only have my Mum, my Dad died a number of years ago, but we are very lucky in that we live close to both our families so we don't have to worry about anyone coming to stay, I don't think I could cope with that! My Mum would have been of the strict variety but very loving, mind you as a grandmother she has turned into mush!!! My Nephew gets away with everything and she would never tell him off.

Not wanting to sound patronising or anything but I just want to say its lovely to hear such responsible dog owners I love dogs but would be nervous round dogs I don't know and I hate it when dog owners allow their dogs to bound up to and around you!

Thanks inzi... I think I'll go down to the hospital tomorrow and get it checked out...I've got a scan and antenatal on monday but I dont fancy worrying for the next 4 days even if it is for nothing...and its really just not worth risking for the sake of not looking paranoid.
goodnight all

just popping in to say morning to everyone

polarmummy, yes mine predicted correctly about a girl.

its awful here today with the rain, i'm just waiting in for the postman and then i need to go out and get a bit of shopping, electrician is meant to be coming tommorrow to try and sort my cooker out, so hopefully i will be able to start eating proper cooked meals soon

I'm all excited - just booked in to have a 3D scan on the 30th June, going to take ds with us see if we can make it all more real for him. Can't wait

The weather here is awful too, started raining about 4.30 yesterday afternoon and hasn't stopped since.

morning everyone!!

havent been about for the past couple of days.had a migraine from hell that lasted from sunday night until yesterday morning.paracetamol just kept making me sick,but didnt fancy the idea of sitting at the doctors with a thumping head for about an hour only to get told "the only thing you can take is paracetamol!"

took ds to have a look around the new school he'll be going to when we move in september.he was so excited!!the school is fab!!there are 35 children there,spread between 2 classes (not like the 40 children per class at thsi school!)the headmaster is lovely,sat and told us aout the school,showed ds where he can keep his inhaler (current school wont let him keep it with him during the day,new school it will be on a shelf in his class)ds cant wait to go there.hes spending the day there on 13th july.im so excited for him!!

had a look at the new hosue when we went to the school (its across the road) and the downstairs is almost finished!

had to change my mind about teh silver cross pram i wanted.worked it out and theres only 13 weeks until the house is finished,and ive got to save for carpets,curtains and a new cooker!so silver cross idea has been scrapped!will now look for something cheaper (with a carrycot-like the idea of baby laying flat)so any ideas?!

havent had a chance to catch up on all the posts!you lot are always so chatty!!!

hope everyones ok.

Morning all

Glad to hear the scans all good. I'm dying to find out whether it's a boy or girl, but there's a way to go yet. Last night I dreamt I had a little boy, (at home, very easy birth) but then someone put him in the tumble dryer and when I rescued him he had turned into a teddy bear! Strange things going on in the head

Inzi I totally recognise the hunger thing. I seem to be eating all the time! And somehow sometimes just not finding whatever it is I feel I need.

Now, at risk of seeming thick, I know what you're talking about when you talk about CM, but what oh what does CM stand for?? I just can't work it out and it's driving me crazy!

Buffy - on prams and lying flat, with DD I had a pram that converted into a pushchair, well more the other way round really. I found it great, if baby fell asleep in the sitting position, you could just lower the back and she was lying flat. When she was tiny we had it as a pram the whole time, then used to adjust it as needed. I think it had three or four positions in all. It could also go forwards or rear-facing. I'd really recommend that sort of design if you can still find them.

Morning everyone - hope you're all well. We had a good scan yesterday with everything fine; apart from a consultant telling me that whilst they respect the elective section decision, my chances of dying from thrombosis are significantly increased, a registrar telling me my DS's (who is just two and started speaking in sentences) speech should be checked because his prononciation of words isn't clear and a trainee sonographer inflicting so much discomfort, baby refused to come and be seen!! So the scan took 40 minutes and left me in pain!! I was EXHAUSTED at the end of it. Didn;t find out the sex though - decided to wait for a surprise.

So just shattered today! Need to do some decorating as well so need to find some energy from somewhere! hope everyone has a good afternoon. And so glad all the scans went well.

Glad all the scans are going well.

Apricott- CM = Cervical Mucus...mmmmmm nice
and yes, I have a lot of it too...

Thanx for that Honeyapple. Sometimes it seems to me that MN has a language all of its own. I'm learning...

hello all,
Am I too late to join you?
I'm due mid October but have only just gone public because I'm ancient (nearly 43!) and wanted to make sure all was ok etc.
Anyway, so far so good, scans have all been fine.
I have 2 dc's dd (8) and ds (5)

whoops

Hello and welcome unicorn and congrats on the pregnancy! glad it's all going well.
Inzi, I'm having a flashback - my DH had kidney stones when I was pregnant with DS and they kept him in hopsital away from where we live for a week, so that was a lot of fun - sending hugs and thoughts for the potential middle of the night A&E trip!! My DH still assures me one of the dr's told him the pain is on a parr with labour........?! Floria, how did you get on today? hope it was all ok.
