Early Oct babies part 5

[Treaclepie19]

Hi all! ❤

Ahhh congratulations on the new scans !!! So exciting and I can’t believe another thread x

I can’t wait to feel my first kicks I’m 20 weeks already but I have such bad acid reflux so maybe that’s why I can’t tell. It makes me anxious but trying to be positive!!!!

my work place is so Annoying I need to submit my paper work for maternity leave end of this week So I had to force the nurse to issue it To me . If I dont Submit it they won’t pay me for maternity leave . My WFH has been extended till 1st July but my dh won’t be back till next year . Lucky sod and his company will pay to get his home office done.

@HerondaleDucks ohh those cupcakes are so darling ! I just blurted the gender to dh in the car was meant to do a whole thing but I got so excited 🤣😂

@EllieGolightly I’m scared and anxious every moment there are moments I just get so wound up from the anxiety and I feel like I can’t shake it off . All we can do is I suppose trust our bodies - I am saying it easily but I’m not sure if I believe it - however I am
Trying the positive mind set - what will happen will happen and I am doing everything in my control - I’m
Eating and drinking water , taking the meds - trying to keep the baby and myself healthy. (also I have booked myself in for a private scan it’s in 5 weeks )

@DollyDaph10 it's 23 degrees where I am in the North West and I have a South facing garden which makes it super hot 😊😊.
Okay I have told dh what they think baby is I have tried to keep it from him and couldn't and now all four of my kids are dead excited so I have decided to tell you guys what my consultant and the other lady in the room reckon from the scan when I went last..... They think I am carrying a baby girl.
I am super nervous and anxious because of the problems with my older girls but I had a healthy girl in 2015 so I am trying soooo hard to stay positive.
Have all of her baby clothes hence why I am dying to get in to the loft and find out what I haven't got. Hope your all okay. How did you get on with your scans if you have been today?

@Treaclepie19 -I tried and failed slightly to pick up DD coz a dog came running at us while on our walk and as it was about her head height she freaked I managed to pick her up a bit - it's only really if you injure yourself or are consistently lifting heavy things that you have to worry really so try not to worry too much! Xx

Thanks @BooMamaBear! I can't pick him up onto my hip anymore but still have pretty good arm strength just to lift him a bit. He's so heavy now 🙈

Now dh and dsd are not looking I can covertly announce that there was a penis!
I have to go back on 5th June for another scan as someone had his head down right in my crotch and she couldn't do the measurements. Everything is looking healthy though so that's good.
I get to see him again 2days after my birthday. So exciting stuff.

Dh has come back in the room so well tell you how the reveal goes!!

Congratulations @HerondaleDucks

Congrats @Aquablue1123 and @HerondaleDucks💙 and @babymama09 💕. @DollyDaph10 we are due in boys on the same day ☺️. Just had a 2 hr after long walk in the sun. Hope you enjoy seeing baby @EllieGolightly xx

Boys are definitely catching up now. Congratulations!!

Congrats @HerondaleDucks! Xx

Congratulations guys. Are the boys winning now or are we about even?

Thanks @Aquablue1123 @Indigogirl88 @Zaalfruit a huge relief to know I'm not going mad! I think you're right Zaal just need to trust our bodies will do what's needed, but like you say easier said than done!

Despite my fears baby is all put together correctly, all the bits and pieces in the right place and developing as expected, I do have an anterior placenta which helps explain the lack of kicks so far.

One more for team pink! Going to celebrate by doing some online shopping!

10/8 to the girls so far I think xx

Oh make that 11/8 lol congrats @EllieGolightly 💕xx

So much to catch up on! I've had my first day of 6 off today and it has been lush, I've not felt this relaxed in ages. I have read a book (non baby related) sat out in the shade and done some weeding. I've been uninterrupted all day and now DH is cooking dinner. Pretty much just what I needed. I'm still sat out in our shady garden on the sun lounger. I think it's about time for an alcohol free g&t!

It's good to see some newbies and a new thread started.

Congrats on everybody finding out the sexes of their little ones. I am completely lost as to where we are with the tally.

@BntTowers a day interrupted. I'm soooooo jealous. I swear once every 5 mins DD says 'mummy', arggghhhhh.

DH has just had a wine delivery turn up. OMG, I want to fall face first into it all. Thinking of a cold white wine....... I think the warm weather makes these temptations worse.

This was the end result for the gender reveal, room for my dss hand print, we are going to ask his school to send a picture of it to print and stick on, and the baby's in non toxic paint when he is old enough.

I think it turned out so well and it was brilliant for the gender reveal.

Sounds amazing @BntTowers!!
I had some nosecco yesterday and it was lovely! Felt like a real treat 😂

Just booked an online pregnancy yoga class for next week, eek. Out of my comfort zone!

Huge congrats everyone on the scans ⭐️ So brilliant to hear all the good news. And good luck to everyone still waiting (next Thursday cannot come fast enough!).

And @Zaalfruit - massive sympathies on the work front, I’ve had to find a change of job as just couldn’t face my boss any more. We’ve got enough going on without extra work stress!

Meh it's all short lived, DH has messed up dinner and just has put me off the whole meal now.

@BntTowers Oh no :( Hope the night can be salvaged!

Hi Ladies! Congrats on all the scans and baby boys 💙 and baby girls 💕

It's been so hot here. I sat in the garden and got sunburnt legs.
We have the estate agent coming to take photos of the flat tomorrow so I've been manically cleaning and tidying. Feeling a bit more optimistic about selling and buying before baby arrives now. May be wishful thinking though!

@Zaalfruit My employers also want to know way ahead of time, going to call the nurse tomorrow and beg.

Has anyone decided to not return to work after baby? We are likely to relocate due to DH’s job, but I don’t know whether to say anything now or wait to see...

@Treacle81 are you due the 5th or the 7th? I have 2 dates as mine changed today 🤣

@DollyDaph10 I won't be going back to the same job. I'm hoping to be stay at home mum for a while. I hate where I work currently and have only stuck with it recently because we were trying and didn't want to have the pressure of looking for somewhere new and potentially getting pregnant straight away.

@Treaclepie19 the food was rubbish and he knows I hate it when he just throws everything in a pan and doesn't do much else with it. This is why we need to buy a freezer so I can batch cook meals before baby gets here. He cooking is terrible and he ignored the recipe I wanted. Really craving a big meaty burger at the moment and nothing is hitting the spot at all.

@DollyDaph10 I’m the 5th 🥰 @BntTowers nothing worse, that’s a shame. I had left over Dominos pizza for lunch and it’s filled me so prob have an orange or something lol. @Treaclepie19 I’m sure it’ll be fine and you’ll become hooked! I’ve not worked out for a week so need to get finger out 💪🏻xx

Congrats on all the new scans!

I just found out that although many people in my company are going back to work over the next few weeks, work have decided to keep me furloughed until my maternity leave starts in mid September, so I won't be going back to work until summer/autumn 2021 😱 I've never been out of work, this insane amount of time stretching ahead of me seems crazy! Already been off since late March!
