Due Jan 2010 - watching our beans grow into bumps :-)

[sazlocks]

As we all talk so fast the last thread is nearly full so thought I would start us off on a new one

Crumpette It must be hard for you but I'm sure you'll see some of your little girl inside your son.

Hope everyone else is doing okay

Hi all, everything went okay with scan today, mw seemed to be scanning for ages so got a tad worried, but no problems. didn't ask the sex but mw showed my sister and eldest dd at the appropriate moment so they both think they know. we'll see what good mw's they make in Jan. after 3 dds with my husband though (ds - previous relationship)i won't hold my breath for a boy but you never know!

on names - i'm wanting Inez for a girl, and dh agreed but haven't got a name for a boy.

none of my girls are very barbiefied but anything with ears on the hat/hood is definately OUT!

:: sockmonkey slighty embarressed that she likes coats with ears, and would probably wear one herself if they made them ::

DH has taken the scan photos into work this morning. Makes me think he is finally coming round to the idea of number 3.

Hi everyone - well you have all been really chatty while I have been away for the weekend, but I have just caught up with the thread.

I am very def pregnant and looking it now and feeling it - I think I am wadling like a duck - I have grown a real bump now.

I must confess to having bought everything for the baby - well what I needed to buy I had some of ds's stuff left. I know it's early but I thought it might get difficult the bigger I get - and well I really don't need an excuse to shop - .

Not to sure about delivering on Christmas eve - but not got much choice .

Ooooh tears streaming at LondonLotties comments to Crumpette.... bloody hormones!!!

londonlottie i saw the pics, for some reason i had to scroll down as i was looking at a blank page! i cant beleive how cute they look. i am sure they will both be beautiful and the squishy nose is just because it is cramped in there, esp with two in there!

crumpette i must say i cannot get over how cruel the staff are at your work place and remember that just becasue they are lawyers does not mean they can get away with what they are doing. i would seek advise from elsewhere as you have a good case for an assortment of breaches of contract i am sure as well as their attitude to what you have been through. . and no matter what sex your baby is he will still be a part of your daughter as he came from the same peopel so though they will be different sex i am sure theyr will share traits and characteristics. i agree that maybe having a daughter so soon after losing your precious angel that she would have a lot to live up to and maybe would always feel she was being compared etc. i cannot begin to imagine what you have been through and no one will replace your daughter but she will always be in your heart no matter where she is.xx

at Lottie's DH! Wow I thought I had problems with DP only liking ex-girlfriends' names when we had DD but hey that really takes the biscuit!

lottie and bethoo thank you for your posts.. I'd like to think she's floating around in the universe somewhere and I will have another DD one day.. and yes, I think if it had been a girl, so soon, I would have compared everything, expecting them to be the same (and looking at my sister as an example siblings can be very different indeed, ie I am just fab and she is quite the popposite ) I may have been disappointed with a DD2 and I guess boys are less prone to emotional instability and 'issues' than girls so he may be able to withstand me missing DD more than another girl would have ....

It's DD's inquest today not going as I am quite content with the reports I have received and the reason she got ill in the first place was a virus, but they won't be able to tell me now, 9 months after she got ill, what virus it was, and I know everything else already. Plus I didn't really want to burst into tears in front of strangers who never met her and I didn't really want to have to meet the dr who did her post mortem, something a bit wrong about that...!

As for boys names, no idea at all, DP likes James but I speak spanish and I don't like Jaime.. also it reminds me a bit of Jamon and Jamas.. (now I do sound nuts! )

Maybe Nicholas, lots of names that I like are already ''taken'' by family members!

popposite I can't even type!!!

and LOL at LondonLottie's DH - positively chuckling here. Now, I MUST do the hoovering!

hey everyone sorry not posted for a while but have been mega busy with work.

Well im 22wk this wk and just had 20wk scan today, all is well with baby so cute to see it's little legs and bum. And after us being sure it's a boy well turns out we are having a girl!!

Name is decided feel free to commrnt i want t know what people think - Zaizie (like Daisy) but with a Z not sure on the spelling yet xx

Hi zen1980, i always pick different names or spell them different so i think zaisie/zaisy is cute though i'm not sure if she'll like it - my dd2 wants to change her name to scarlet and she's only 7 (i thought Casey was cute but she has other ideas!! .

i've got Inez for a girl, ?? for a boy, had 20wks scan yesterday but didn't find out.

london i like Ena if you don't think of it as an older persons name. though there is an Ivy and a Nellie at my friends nursery so older names are cool at present. Ava or Eva are both beautiful names and quite similar. i would have Ava but dh doesn't like it. i think your dh is funny

Hi to everyone else CTOFN i hope you did the hoovering lol.

Congrats on the scans!

timette I've bought loads too (mainly ebay - great bargains), so you're not alone: my excuse is that I only had girls things so now need boys things!

sockmonster you're not alone either...I also have lots of furry things with ears for the baby...and I'm in he process of decorating my DD's (3.5yr) room pink. She has had cream/green since birth and has asked for pink everything - mini-pink TV arrived this morning and I love it (I don't like Barbie or high school musical type things tho - too 'false').

I should say my DH can't stand girlie things, so the rest of our house is natural shades with minimilistic design. I only have 2 tiny bears in our bedroom window, but DD and I have our girlie shopping days and I'm happy that she chooses dresses to wear over trousers. I think she's made me more girlie. DH will be relieved to have more masculine influences in our house in the future!

I spent ALL DAY on this darn site yesterday - some of the other threads are completely addictive!! Ridiculous. However, I did manage to hoover the sitting room - only one room out of 6 - oops!! Off out today, some semblance of a life resumes...

Oh - and anyone else got pregnancy rhinitis? Can't believe how many different pg symptoms I've had so far. Oh and another thing - heartburn started last night (urrrgh)

lilacpink me too I got loads of stuff on ebay and got a real bargain on my pram .

cantthinkoffunnyname not got heartburn but I do have acid reflux will ask the gynae what I can do about it as it's really getting on my nerves.

Morning All

Sorry I haven't been around for a bit - I've been back to work, but only part time, my midwife and GP are unhappy about me working fulltime so I have reduced my hours (either that or be signed off).

I'm feeling really awful today, sick, lots of pain in my tummy and not "pregnant" at all. GP and midwife both on holiday so I'm going to have a lie down and see if I feel better, if not, I suppose I'll have to try and speak to someone else. On top of this, I found out yesterday that the referral to my consultant has got "lost" in the system and we now have to start again. Just what I need, especially as it was marked urgent in the first place because I'm turning into a basket case over the thought of not being allowed an elective section after the disaster that was DD's delivery. The surgery have promised to sort it asap, so we'll see.

Why is it 2nd pregnancies are so much worse, I was as calm as you like with DD, nothing worried me. This time I am a total wreck! Girls, I need you to calm me down!

londonlottie hmmm and I thought that my DH was the only one!

crumpette I hope yesterday wasn't too awful. I can understand why you wanted another girl, but as others have said I'm sure your little boy will share lots with your DD and when the time is right another DD will come into your life. DH's cousins lost their DS to a heart complain, it was awful for everyone. But they now have a DD and their DS will always be a part of their lives.

timmette shop away - as soon as we've had our 20 weeks scan I intend to start. Not that we need much if its a girl, but if its a boy ......

Have a good day all

Hi everyone,

FifiForgot hope you feeling okay and if not make sure you see someone and get checked out.

I've had a rough couple of days myself - quite scary really. Couldn't sleep much Wed night as was short of breath and feeling wheezy. DH was working away. Went to work yesterday and chest got tighter and wheezing louder. Phoned GP...no joy and by time got home from work about 4.30 was feeling v rough. DH arrived home and called midwife, she told us to go straight to A & E. They were really good - saw me straight away - thought I had a blood clot on my lungs, did several tests ECG etc but turns out I have developed asthma - apparently it can happen during pregnancy - even though I've never had it before. Hooked me up to oxygen and then a nebuliser. Was really worried about baby but s/he kept wriggling and kicking as though to let me know all was okay. Was able to come home after a few hours.

congrats on your scans Partyofsixsoontobeseven and zen1980

LOL at your DH londonlottie - sounds exactly like something my DH would do

Hope everyone has a nice weekend

sleepingalot hope you are OK - it sounds v scary. Will it clear once you have had the baby?

Feeling a bit better, but baby isn't moving much. Of course that could be because I have lots of padding and can't feel it! If I'm no better when DH gets home, I'll call the on call midwife. DD is being demanding, I might give in and put CBeebies on for the afternoon!

Afternoon all wave.

londonlottie your dh sounds hilarious, I love people like that, they're so much fun to wind up

crumpette sending you hugs, no-one should have to go through all the shit you have to deal with.

fifi do whatever you need to do to relax...cbeebies has it's uses!

Don't get me started on girly stuff, am relieved it's a boy purely on the fact that I would never put any living thing in pink! I hate the colour and was getting a little scared by peoples need to know what flavour it was prior to buying/giving things...as long as it's warm and doesn't look like an easter bunny, princess or any other fancy dress character I'm happy.

Hi - just popping in quickly.

Fifi - sorry that you are having a tough time at the mo! to you and I am sure that everything is fine. You are coming up to 19 weeks arent you? I didnt feel the bub at that point, so please dont worry.

Just rest up, relax and there is nothing wrong with using the TV to entertain the LO's.

to everyone else also.

On the buying front, since it is another boy, nothing much to buy. My only dilema is whether to go for a phil and ted buggie, cannot decide!

xx

Im back from my day out at friends and have now brought back SO much baby stuff. All second/third/fourth hand of course - but looks good as new and saves me buying (yet again)!

I have a complete travel system (which is GORGEOUS), high chair, bumbo, activity mat, nappy bin, sterilser, lindam night/day bottle system, walker, sling, loads of white vests/babygrows, cot top changer and lots of other small bits. Feels like Xmas!!

Hugs to everyone else - particularly those feeling sh*t x

Hi anniemac mine goes hard at the top. It's a real sticky out bump now.

cantthinkoffunnyname I have a similar hall of baby stuff but bought most of it as I am now having second dc and none of my friends have any yet.

hi ladies... quiet on here today. All was good at scan, heart scan clear and anomoly was too. phew! Was at Kings Lottie but they've discharged us now so we're back to our local hospital in east surrey. Got growth scans booked for 28 & 34 weeks at east surrey but kings didn't think we needed them which s good to hear (will have them anyway so we can keep seeing the little man)
Think I've got SPD... i'm in agony getting out of bed, getting in and out of car and I'm walking like I'm 80! I've had pain the last 4 weeks or so but it's been really bad this week so I'm going to have to see GP next week.
Hope everyone else is well x
