Ok Ladies... new thread, since the old one was getting too long and dragging my computer (and Kat's) down with it!

MrsD - cant believe you are 30 weeks already! So you found that cutting out the lactose helps? It will be almost a week for me and I have noticed some improvement, but not a lot. Of course, he is still getting a milk-based formula supplement to the BFing. I am going to switch to a soy formula and see if it makes a difference as well. Until then... God give me strength!!! LOL

KatnKankles · 17/03/2010 22:57

OMG 12 weeks already!! Are you ready to go public yet? Or do lots of people know already? Hope all goes well tomorrow.

32 weeks today for me It's dragging so much, I'm dying for the baby to come but hate this final few weeks... I'm so heavy and peeing all the time. Lovely!

My baby is gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!!

The sonographer found are baby straight away. What a wriggly little baby. Baby minibeanie was jumping around, pushing off with his/her feet. We saw baby's arms and legs and fingers and toes.

My bladder wasn't as full as it could have been so getting a profile shot with a wriggly baby was asking a bit much. We did get a cool head on pic of baby's head, body, arms and legs. You can even see the baby's foot bones!

Well it was a supercute by but I am biased lol!

Baby was measuring 6.4cm, CRL. So I've jumped forward 6 days and I'll be 13 weeks tomorrow!!!!!!! I'm 12+6! My due date is the 24th Sept.

Loopy being put forward suits me , I have big babies. DS2 was 9lb 11oz at term. He'd have been huge had I gone 2 weeks over. I also get a bit mental after fullterm with worry about things going wrong. So if it means I get induced at 41 weeks rather than 42 weeks, I can live with it. I only think they are 3 days out anyway.

£149 is absurd!!!!!I don't blame you for waiting.

I am on such a high today!

Last time my gender scan at 16 weeks was £80. Could you wait an extra 6 weeks?
The test sunds interesting.
I'm not sure I even want to find out this time, dh does though.

Shettles is fascinating isn't it.

There was definitely a difference in my babydancing timing and diet when we conceived DD.

With the boys we'd done A LOT of baby (twice a day) dancing and my diet was pasta/potato laden. With ds1 and 2 my sickness was horrific and extended to 18 weeks. Sickness several times a day.

With DD we hadn't done much bding (3 times that month) and I was on a health kick having salads and quorn ham and salad cream for lunch. With DD my sickness was manageable and gone by 13 weeks.

Technically looking at my past, with babydancing I'd guess boy but m sickness I'd say girl, so who knows lol!

I think trying to tip the scales is well worth it. All babies are scrummy but I totally understand the wanting a crtain gender. I floated for a week when I found out dd was a girl.

This time I hae no preference, a snuggly little bundle of love is what I've ordered.

Nope, I'm pooped lol!!! I need sleep!!!

My scan was with babybond and was in 2007. I'm sure it was £79, just a gender check though. The nhs sonorapher was very put out that we'd ha a gender scan at 16 weeks lol!

Can I resist finding out this time??

KAt, omg no way 32 weeks!!!!!! You are going to go POP very soon lol!

Steph, how's gorgeous Lacey doing?

Loopy that's awesome! It must be more fool proof than the bloods. The bloods sound fab but I wouldn't believe them lol!!!

Dh and I were talking about a gender scan last night,I could have one in 21 days!!!!! How freaky is that!!!!!!!

Oh 3 family members are pg at the moment, I'm worried about my chosen baby names, will be gutted if someone else gets there first. I know it's silly and unlikely but it's my hormones lol!

What's eveyneup to, this grou is too quiet, anyone would thin hae of us have newbrns to care for tehee! How are the gorgeous babies and mums?

Meanbeansmum · 20/03/2010 09:09

So sorry for typos, on the laptop and the keys need to be bashed!

babyblue4 · 21/03/2010 05:24

OOOhhh... I cant believe you ladies are already far enough to start talking gender scans!!! How exciting!

Marco has been keeping me busy. Most days I am completely shattered from lack of sleep. He is just getting over croup and also has a tooth coming in, so he has been fussy to the max! He wakes up 2x a night at least, so its not a happy time in the Blue household at the mo. Oh well... he is cute as anything so it makes up for it . Little devil started cruising steps today for the first time, so it wont be long before he is walking. My baby is growing up too fast!!!

Aww babyblue he;s growing up so quickly but he'll always be your baby!

DD2, my youngest is 6 1/2 and still my baby, she's going to find it hard when DD3 comes along I think but she is very excited and is enjoying helping us to choose things for the baby, she also kisses my tummy goodnight before bed

All this gender chat.. I had a gender scan this time at 16 weeks with babybond which cost me £79 I think? I didn't have a preference on gender but I had an inkling from day one that she was a girl and wanted confirmation! It was well worth it.

Anyway, I need a whinge... I have heartburn constantly, restless legs, PILES and insomnia

Tell me lots of times it'll all be worth it please?? I'm desperate to meet my baby but too impatient to wait!!I want to sleep for the next 7 weeks, I really can't remember feeling this bad with the other 3..

smithylovesme · 21/03/2010 23:36
