A new thread as we're approaching the end of the last one!
@sunshine1987 @SullyWifey @mrsof20118 @GemmaJen @RanchoRelaxo @Delilah7 @Crossfitgirl @EltzBee @AngeloMysterioso @ChaosMoon sorry if I've missed people please feel free to tag people I've missed so far!

@Crossfitgirl I love the look of the ocarro too - it made our short list. We're probably set on the cybex balios s denim though after seeing it on Sunday. It's got a quirky one hand fold ( takes a bit of getting used to), but also a really nice XXL canopy. There's just so much choice out there and you can't see every pram in the flesh - still can't find a stockist for a couple we liked.

@etzbee yay! Happy announcement day! Bet it feels so good to get it out there! People start asking how you're feeling, and being all nosey and stuff next! It's lovely!
@gemmajen we've hardly looked at any to be honest, I think mainly because there is just too much choice and don't want to be overfaced! We liked the look of it and it ticked all the boxes so we tried it in the shop, liked it, so decided sod it why not just go with that. Its a bit on the heavy side but we plan to do lots of walking so it needs to be sturdy. I think we may possibly look at some cybex ones too as they are lighter, but ultimately we can't be arsed shopping around too much and my mum has already said she'll buy it us, so it would be a quick compare on ease of manoeuvrability.

Well, how crap is this - nobody from work has even bothered to ring me to find out why I'm off, or if I'm going to be back in tomorrow... Which they're meant to do on the day you ring.

I work my balls off every day to make sure my staff and patients get the best they can... I always follow up on sickness and check people are OK... And nobody can even be arsed to ring me? I could be hospitalised for all they know! (dramatic I know but still)
A small part of me thinks they are probably so rushed off their feet because higher management kindly let pretty much everyone off on annual leave at the same time and expecting me to deal with whatever comes up, that they just haven't had time to ring me. Well good. Time for them to deal with it without me for a change and see how they like it, as that's what I've been doing the last few weeks! Dealing with every fucking thing on my own with no help!

So glad I took myself out of it and gave my mental health a break. Thanks for your support ladies, if I'd have listened to DH I would have ended up going in Xxx

My beautiful 21 week baby :) anyone wanna guess what the gender result was? :)

Oof I feel so bad after reading @Crossfitgirls post! I'm sorry, I hope you are doing OK. I'm sorry I'm a little lost in the moment right now! xx

@cookie0508 aww seriously it's cheered me up seeing your scan! God who cares about work at the end of the day when we have these amazing little mini me's growing inside us 😍 I'm thrilled for you! Oooh I don't know.... boy? I think I guessed girl for the last one so I'm going to alternate 😂

Sorry you're having a pants time @Crossfitgirl but you did the right thing staying off. The most important thing is you and your baby 💗

@Cookie0508 wonderful scan photo, I think baby is a boy too 💙

So I've overdone it the weekend, painted nursery, helped with Ikea flat pack furniture and clean house top to bottom. I think I have sciatica & plantar fasciitis 😞 arse cheek and heels are in agony! The hubby is going to have to give me a foot massage later!!

@Crossfitgirl you did the right thing, your mental health (and baby!) is more important than any job.

@Cookie0508 what a lovely scan photo- I'm going with a girl?

@Crossfitgirl sorry your having a rough time of it. I'm glad you stayed off and put yourself first!

@Cookie0508 amazing scan!! I'm rubbish at guesses!

We have our booking in appointment tomorrow when I'll be 8+1. Feeling pretty naff! Nausea and tiredness is ruling my life atm and by the time I get in from work I'm to tired to barely speak to poor OH (he probably loves that!) we also have a scan on Friday so I'm super nervous/excited for that!

By the way, if anyone is going to find out sex of baby and thinking of doing a gender reveal, I have two pink girl confetti canons. Happy to give them away if anyone is interested 😊💗

@cookie0508 I’m going girl based on scull theory x

Well ladies it was a boy! 💙

Well done @Crossfitgirl and @MrsC87!

I have no experience with boys so was kinda hoping for a girl but omg now I've seen him again I'm besotted! I can't wait to meet him xx

Yay! My record of guessing is 100% 😆 @Cookie0508
Welcome to team blue 💙 I genuinely wouldn't change it now, can't wait to meet my boy in July! Congrats lovely xx

@cookie0508 baby boys give the best cuddles 💙 congratulations xx

@crossfitgirl I think that's quite bad they haven't followed up with a phone call. Even if there was hardly any staff - should be a priority IMO. I'd stay off for a few days! Did you manage to get up to much or was you just enjoying the day to yourself? I think you need a few days to wind down and relax.

Lots of gender reveals this is so exciting 💙💛💗. We've got our 20 week scan tomorrow. I'll be 20+4. Very nervous and just hoping everything is ok. Planning on not finding out! We would like a surprise on the day. Any one want to guess from 12wk?

I'd guess girl @canonlyhopexo 💗
Good Luck tomorrow, look forward to seeing pics xx

@MrsC87 from before I was even pregnant I always thought my first would be a girl but the longer it goes on the more I'm thinking boy but I think that's so I'm not surprised if it is a boy. I don't mind either way just as long as he or she is happy and healthy. It's so nerve wracking!!

Thanks @mrsc87 @bostonfern
@thumper59 you're 8 weeks already? Flipping heck that's gone fast!

@cookie0508 yay for your little boy! 💙💙💙
I'm also on 100% guesses then hehe!

@canonlyhopexo hmm team yellow eh! well since we're due date buddies I'm gonna go for girl as my guess so we can be girl buddies too.

I didn't get up to much, I spent the morning still a bit worked up and unable to relax so decided to go for a walk to get out of the house and try ease my mind, ended up being nearly 2 hours but it did take my mind off work.
We live right next to a library so I called in, registered and have got a pregnancy book and a parenting book.

My headache went away but now its back... I've been on/off feeling a bit nauseous with heartburn, I feel super bloated, I'm tired and keep having mild palpitations. I think it's partly stress but I also feel like I'm having another growth spurt... As I feel massive! I feel pretty drained tbh, I think my symptoms could be equally stress or pregnancy related, probably both. I may end up taking the whole week off if I don't feel any better.

Anyone else feel things growing in spurts, and feeling a bit rubbishy when it's spurting?

@Crossfitgirl that would be really funny if I had a girl too! Actually quite funny to think us little bunch of internet buddies will potentially have some of our babies on the same day and be going through the exact same thing at the same time. I'm genuinely excited for everyone's arrivals 💙💛💗
It sounds like you've had a lovely day and going to the library is so therapeutic! Handy you can check the book in and out too. Sometimes I do feel like I'm having spurts. Im mainly different bouts of tiredness still feeling/being sick and feeling faint and or really hot. I've felt pretty anxious about things and although slowly getting a bit better it's cranked up a bit again tonight just pre scan nerves. I really think you should take the whole week - sod em. You will feel so much better for it and if your symptoms are a little stress related it gives you time to chill out and have a few days to relax and focus on you and baby girl. Xx

Hi ladies. Sorry I've been abit silent, AGAIN. Had physio yesterday got a tubigrip and crutches which is fun 😩 I'm not even big yet and my bodies in pieces lol xx

@Delilah7 ah bless you! You're having a tough time of it.

@Crossfitgirl hope you're feeling a bit better today. Definitely look after yourself and if you do need to take the week, do it. Anxiety/stress can make you feel sick and exhausted in themselves so definitely won't be helping.

@cookie0508 aww congrats on the blue baby :)

@canonlyhopexo is it your scan today?? Good luck!

Feeling weird today now people 'know' we're expecting. I don't know why! 2 weeks tomorrow til our scan, eek. Can't wait to see our little bean again. So glad we had the 16 week scan and got to see them then.

@Crossfitgirl I know 8+1 today. It's mad isn't it, it feels like ages because we've known forever it feels and not told anyone, but the last week and half- two weeks seems to have gone super fast! Once we've had the scan Friday I think it'll feel so real finally 😀

Thank you @eltzbee. I feel better today, headache has eased and have told work admin I will be off tomorrow too as I want to make sure I'm fully right. But STILL no manager has rung me back to find out why I'm even off! I did ring one of my colleagues to tell them what needed covering, but that's all, and I only did that so I wouldn't be coming back to a shit pile of work on my return.

I have a spa evening tonight which I am hoping will help relax me even more, turned out to be very well timed!

Hope your scan goes OK @canonlyhopexo.
Can't believe the next time we see them will be in the flesh!
I know there's 4.5 months to go, but I'm getting so impatient to have my baby in my arms! Every time I see photos of babies it's like I'm just yearning for it to be mine, and now!! Think it's cos 2 fb friends have just had newborn baby girls and I know that I will have one soon and I just can't wait for her to be here ❤️❤️❤️

@Crossfitgirl that's really bad nobody has got in touch to check your ok and find out anything that needs covering etc!
Enjoy your spa evening that is definitely well timed.

@EltzBee I've literally had enough. My work have been right arseholes today. Asked them to take some milk upstairs for me after I've made everyone coffees and taken peoples shopping up when my hips and shins are killing me. Nope no one would do it for me couldn't understand why I couldn't do it.

Just had enough. X

Glad to hear you are feeling better today @Crossfitgirl

@thumper59 I can't believe you are 8 weeks already either, seems like only last week I saw your BFP on the TTC thread!

Sorry you've had such a bad day at work @Delilah7
