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 glad you are feeling better about having a ds! I feel a bit sad that I won't ever have a ds as I won't be having any more which is a bit silly. After all, every baby brings their own love.

Have spent most of yesterday (2pm-11pm) at the hospital with dd, whose cold turned into an asthma attack, again. Luckily, the new asthma plan/medication meant we weren't admitted this time. I wouldn't recommend being in hospital looking after a small child when you are pg with a streaming cold mind you.

That is a lovely story anniemac, and a great comfort I'm sure.
Congrats on the move crumpette - it is very easy to lock yourself out of an unfamiliar house (in my case I take my old keys...)
I woke up in the middle of the night with a stinking cold, no idea where it came from but it is most certainly not welcome! Went to see mw yesterday about the pelvic pain, she thought it was more like sciatica and has refered me to the physio. Knew I was getting too easy a ride of it...
Just found out that DP's ex-wife is 10 weeks gone - from her sis, who is due 3 weeks after me. The joys of a small town

Thanks for the advice lilacpink - went to docs and he thinks it is SPD so has refered me to physio - like you I've been told 3 weeks for appointment. I'm going to try accupuncture and see how that goes, I've got a really good lady and she's told me if I don't get improvement after 2 sessions it isn't going to work for me so at least I wont be throwing my money in to a pit!

Hope everyone is well x

Just wanted to share a lovely thing that my Ds said tonight
Mummy I remember when I was a little bean and lived in a lovely belly house and it was you.
It really brought tears to my eyes hope this little bean thinks I'm a lovely belly house.

Alibobins - that is so beautiful! I've been chuffed enough when my DD kisses my belly every night to say "night night" to the baby!

Talking of being brought to tears, these ridiculous hormones had me blubbing uncontrollably at Grease: The School Musical (recorded) today. I was really telling myself off for being so ridiculous and then blubbed even more. Lordy lordy!

alibobbins, that is so cute. i wonder if he really can remember?

how cute, they say very young children do remember their birth etc...!

Hope my belly house is lovely

thank you anniemac I have remembered that since you said it before, I think that, all in all, I would have found it hard not to blur identities with a new DD. I'm very upset that she's not magically coming back but obviously that is pretty unlikely and wouldn't be fair on a new DD to live up to that hope

now..where's breakfast.... om nom nom nom

sorry that should be breakfast number 2 I had breakfast 2 hours ago and am SO hungry !

gosh i cant remember what happened last week!

i liek the name Bella now! so i dont know if i will stick with Skye now though it could be a middle name instead! Bella Skye! yes i think it has a ring to it! better than Skye Bella which does not go me thinks!

glad youol are coming round to the idea Crumpette a little boy, they are wonderful.

i have started a to do list for home so i have lots of time for farmtown housework! but it did work as i had the kids fed by 6! though i am not really eating much as tend ot miss brekky these days which i know is the best meal of the day though a coffee is sufficing at the moment! strange how i only drink coffee in pregnancy as cant stand the stuff! anyone else eat/drink things they would not touch unless with child??

Everyday I have marmalade on toast...wouldn't normally have the stuff, don't hate it, but don't like it either...very strange.

Bella skye sounds better than Skye Bella (the later sounds like a cablecar, ok so I may have gone a bit odd in the head).

crumpette have you got hobbit blood in you...breakfast no.2...haha. Don't worry we're nearly at elevenses time...mmmm, elevenses!

anniemac thanks for your message it is a very strange time, I guess I had some hazy hope that it would be identical to DD in every way and one day would say to me 'that's not my name mummy I'm .....!' how mad is that!? I initially read every book possible on reincarnation and childrens' past lives! I think it was the hope that she wasn't gone forever that kept me from feeling the loss, if that makes sense.

somewhathorrified I am concerned I may indeed be part-hobbit.. the scan report showed normal measurements except a big tummy and teeny weeny legs, like 5th centile leg length... mildly concerned about what will arrive!!

He does come out with some rather strange things.
He tells me he's had a feast at a big table with lots of food like meat and bread.
On another occasion he told me the servant was locked up because she had stole something
He's not 5 until christmas and only started school monday so don't know where it all comes from.

Got the midwife Monday for my 24 week appointment and to ceck my blood pressure as its been high in my notes the consultant has written if it rises after 24 weeks then send to hospital for monitorin hope I don't end up in and out for the next 16 weeks.

Funny londonlottie as I am delivering on the 24th Decemeber - so not a Christmas baby but will be in hopsital on Christmas day .
I have a scan on Monday and really hope that this huge bump is all baby and not all me .
Goodluck on Monday alibobins I hope all is well.

Alibobbins - that has got to be the cutest thing I have heard! How lovely!

DS is really into theres a house in my mummy book I bought him..although gets to the last page and isnt too sure when he sees the baby in mummys arms. Fingers crossed he gets used to it!

Hope everyone ok and for those with scans coming up - best of luck!

aw, the belly house thing is adorable. dd has been asking 'is the baby safe in your tummy?' and 'is the baby happy now?'. every time i sit down for a meal it's 'are you feeding your baby?'. She's also 'made' numerous cute games and toys and is apparently turning her room into a playroom for him, or more probably her.

I say more probably a 'her' because i had my 20 week (or 21 week in actuality) scan today, with a very norfolk sonographer who announced that it was probably another girl as 'she couldn't see anything that would indicate it was a boy'. So there you go. I wonder if people who are having boys more often get a more definite answer as there's 'something' to see? Do those carrying girls always get the lukewarm, noncommital thing?

I was quite surprised at how disappointed i actually felt at first, even though i'd gone in there with no clear preference, being able to see the upside of either sex, as regards dd having a brother or sister. I think it hit me that i might never have a son, and how my life might be slightly less 'whole' because of it. I know it sounds sexist and crazy, esp as i already have a unique and beautiful daughter who should really make me want to have more like her. Still, i'm glad, now i've had time to think about it, as she'll hopefully have the proper sisterly relationship that i missed out on myself.

Oh, and dd leaned over and kissed my bump yesterday for the first time. Totally out of the blue and it's made my week for some hormonal reason!

Hi guys,
haven't messaged for ages. Been reading about the boy/girl dilemma. My scan is on mon and I'm really hopeful for a girl. Lost baby before which was a boy, so just want dif experience.
My friends who have boys keep telling me boys are much more loving to their mummys and easier than girls. I think its just really individual. I haven't thought of one boys name though!
