Arrrggghhhh I'm freaking out now! Lol. What if he is a girl?! Ha ha ha
I doubt they're wrong (see above!) but even if they are you still have a gorgeous little baby <3 You'd just have to get used to the change in pronouns
Lol that is true!' As long as I find out while she is still attached otherwise I will think they have been swapped!! :-/ We too haven't bought the powder blue items but others have. So for people who find out might b an idea to keep it to yourselves? We were just so excited to have a boy we couldn't contain it!! Xx
My sister had a baby last week. Found out what she was having so was all set with lotsa pink... Turns out she needed blue
Yea pretty much the same for me.. When I first found out I really wanted it to be a girl.. Then I wanted it to be a boy.. Obviously wouldn't be disappointed in any way either way but just a "aw it'd be nice if...." Now, am not fussed.. One of each please lol But am SO sure its a boy.. But my OH keeps giving out to me telling me i'll be disappointed if i'm wrong.. If my baby arrives nice n healthy I will be over the moon...I didn't want to know at the start either Frances. We always maintained we wouldn't find out. By 18 weeks I was like 'TELL ME NOW!!!' lol. I'm just very impatient! Plus we were so certain he was a he that it didn't feel like there would be much surprise anyway
I'm a very gender pacific but as this is only our first and we're hoping to have at least another 1, I will keep the big buys gender friendly.. But if it was my last (planned lol) I'd def buy either way if I was to find out.. Like, if I'm having a girl I'd love her to have a nice pink buggy n bedroom etc.. Proper princess style.. Or likewise if it's a boy I'd love it nice n boyish.. But as its hopefully not our last we'll keep pram n bouncer etc to do either..I struggled at the start of this pregnancy as it was a surprise. I feared another section as my experiences have been awful. Having one of each already I'd kind of decided early on what I thought I was having. I still don't know if this was a hunch or if I wanted that gender more than the other.
After the gender scan I started to feel better and grew more attached to the baby. As I've had to buy everything again I have given in and bought gender specific things. From that aspect I hope to god they were right!

Ok so I've had a complete melt down this morning and sobbed my heart out. Why? Umm, cause the kids have been kids and trashed the place while OH has been his useless self by sleeping in tuen going straight to work. He'll be there till after kids bedtime tonight. So I'm faced with the usual daily grind of cleaning, misbehaving children, getting ready for week ahead etc. Also sweating like mad for some reason. Could my hormones be changing again, getting ready for the end? I have a kids party to go to at 3 which I really don't want to attend today. I missed it last year due to being ill so don't think I can avoid today. Strange wee day. Feeling tired and just over whelmed. How's everyone else? Mama-bear x
Ah bless you, they just don't think sometimes do they! It could be that everything is changing as you get closer to the end which is v exciting! I know I'm getting more emotional as I go along, I'm a right loose cannon. It's funny how things change over the months. I'm not bad today, feeling a bit less weepy than yesterday when I spent pretty much all day crying! My swollen hands and feet are definitely getting worse though - how much swelling is normal? I was struggling to get my trainers on this morning and they are pretty much the only shoes left that fit me! My wrists and hands are bigger too, I feel like I'm wearing gloves, like when your movement is slightly restricted? It feels horrible! Oh well, feet up for a bit then I need to get on with cake baking and butternut squash roasting. Got my first load of baby clothes in the wash too which is a bit exciting! Hope everyone is having a lovely Sunday x
These were my feet recently and MF didn't seem to care. Said its normal unless very sudden! Sock hurt and my PJ bottoms were getting right lol I love washing baby clothes... Remind me of that next month when nothing is clean lol x
Ooh they look sore, bless you! I recognise those sock marks from last night, they were really painful. Will mention it to the midwife as they have got a lot worse over the last two days and it does worry me a bit! I'm sure it's all normal though, another one of those pregnancy things to get used to Next month! So close now, not long until he's here and you get to make use of those lovely clean clothes
Back ache -check
Period style cramps -check
Fidgety -check
No contractions though. Keep telling myself it's all going in the right direction. Hopefully one of these nights it'll all kick off.

OMG Missy.. What a little monkey you're growing in there.. Nothing like a good scare Mommy... Grounded for a month I think is suitable punishment.. Glad all went well todayExciting news from all this morning - hopefully everything is kicking off for you mama bear and am excited for your scan cake, I hope your experience is much better than mine
Me? Spent the morning in PAU annoyingly Went to see midwife and it was a really positive appt. She took me round and showed me the labour rooms (midwife and consultant lead) so that I can try and decide a bit more what I want in terms of environment. They did all the usual tests then and weren't happy with my wee test and the swelling that came up over the weekend. When I mentioned that baby had been a bit quiet over the last day or so they packed me off to PAU and put me on the monitor. Of course baby went crazy kicking about as soon as the monitor was on! Little swine, making me worry <3 That went ok thank goodness so now I just have a precautionary scan on wed to have a look at blood flow, etc and make sure everything is working ok. Relieved ain't the word and baby has been very perky since then!
Now at work, laughing at everyone demolishing my cake Happy Monday all! x
