[AnxiousAnnie86]

Hey ladies

Just tagging all as threads running out! Hopefully I didn't miss anyone!

@SS123456 @Blossom428 @TheOrangeMonster @Klprr93 @mabelelsie @Mctm123

It really was @Blossom428 Yeah, I measured bang on 7+5 so what I thought and estimate due date of 22nd October 😊

We’re planning on telling our Mums on Mother’s Day, did you all tell some people after early scan?

@mabelelsie yeah we told our parents and sisters after our early scan at 8 weeks xx

@Blossom428 wallpapers are gorgeous, my favourite is ark2!

We've made a list of all baby stuff we haven't got yet! There's a lot 😂

Yeah I think ARK2 is my fave too... just want them to arrive and I can see properly haha! @AnxiousAnnie86 don't get me started on a list- I've made a full spreadsheet 😂😂😂 slightly OTT but I like to plan and be organised, and like you say there is so much stuff I want to make sure I'm in order and not repeat buying haha.

@mabelelsie awww that will be the best Mother's Day gift ever! Do they know you have been trying? I told my best friend first jsut after the scan, and then we told family on Christmas Day when we were around 10weeks. Although my mum was annoyed I didn't tel her sooner 🙈🙈

@Blossom428 yeah I didn't tell my best friend till nearly 12 weeks. Her father had just passed and it didn't feel right x

@SS123456 good luck today! I really really hope you get the answer you are wanting!! Please let us know xxxx

Thank you @AnxiousAnnie86 ! It's not until this afternoon so I'll let you know when I know 😁 x

@SS123456 soooo exciting! How are you feeling? X

@AnxiousAnnie86 I'm the most nervous I've been for any of the scans as I just feel like this is quite a life changing one for us. Obviously there are no guarantees we would have a neurotypical girl, and vice versa with a boy, but the odds are stacking that way (OHs girl does not have special needs but all the boys grandchildren in his family do) x

It's a girl! 😁❤️🥳

@SS123456 I am genuinely so happy for you lovely xxxxxxxx

Awww @SS123456 how amazing!!! So so happy for you! I really hope this has made your mind at rest now too 💗💗 congrats on your baby girl news on Mother's Day too

What's everyone doing/ previously done about nursery furniture?
My mind is going into over drive haha.
I thought about buying a normal chest of draws so I could get one with 6 in it and just put a wedge changing mat on the top, but then I've noticed they are lower down than the draws you would get in a furniture set.
Then I've looked at sets and it would go, I'm just wondering if like the wardrobe is dramatically smaller.
Our house is bad for storage so I know baby won't have loads and loads, but we could always use a draw/ for our towels or whatever if needs be.

Thank you ladies, I am so relieved! 😁

@Blossom428 with my DS I bought a normal ikea draw set and put a changing mat on top and it work perfectly

@Blossom428 we have m and s nursery furniture, with a changing table, cot, another tall
Set of drawers and a wardrobe, My SIL gave it to us so we were really lucky as it's solid oak and in perfect condition

@Blossom428 this is what we have but the full set

It looks really bare as you can see and all else is in there is wardrobe and more drawers... what else do you put in a nursery x

@SS123456 now you have the name game!!!! We have 14 names on our list!! And still not sold on any x

@AnxiousAnnie86 the nursery looks beautiful 😁❤️. We have actually named her already as we already had our girls name 🙈. She is Jessie x

@SS123456 ahhh yes I knew that!!! Lovely name!! I wish we could decide :(

@SS123456 I was looking at the IKEA draw sets, like a 6 draw on... are they high enough for the changing mat on top? Or is yours a tall one?
I just can't decide. So indecisive 🙈🙈
@AnxiousAnnie86 awww it looks so nice!

@SS123456 v cute name 💕

@Blossom428 I actually don't have the draws anymore as my DS is nearly 9 now but it was a good height I thought and I never had any issues. It had 4 big draws and 2 smaller ones which was great for keeping changes of clothes, nappies etc to hand in. Once DS was older it was then a normal set of draws in his bedroom rather than a baby changing unit which was a bit more grown up for him. I think this time around I'm going to get a small standalone changing unit (a cheapish one) and just lose it when the nappy changing stage is over x

@AnxiousAnnie86 thank you! What names are on your short(ish) 😂 list? x

@SS123456 not in any order 🤣
