Purple Hugs - Babe in arms!!

Ah how lovely! and lucky you getting another scan. Your hubby is gonna be really outnumbered if it is another girl lol. My dh says he's moving out if this is a girl, 4 women in the house I don't blame him lol. I'd quite like another girl, but think it would be nice for dh to have a son. As long as it's healthy that's all that matters.
 
thanks girls - Lisa my DH is more than used to it! it's a bit of a standing joke as we have had over 13 placements through fostering and all but one was a boy! lol Who stayed with us 2 days!!! :rolleyes::D

We were hoping to break the trend with a boy, but at least this way we know what we are doing and as i said they'll likely get on better when they're older all being girls. :) either that or they'll fall out! lol

Lisa - really isn't long for you now you must be so excited! I can't believe how quickly the time is going! Not long till you find out your lovely babies sex. :)
 
Glad it went well PH :)

Yes getting really excited now. Lily my youngest keeps asking "How many more days till the baby comes mammy" Bless her I wish I knew! every night now when I go to bed I think I wonder if it will be tomorrow, I know it will come when it's ready but I'm getting so damn impatient now lol.

I think 3 girls will be lovely especially when they are older apart from having to fork out for 3 weddings lol.
 
lol bless your little one! And you for wondering each night! It can seem a lifetime at the end though - I remember well with Erin. Though I never thought of full term until 40 weeks - not like now where they say full term is 37 weeks. :)

And yes.. about those weddings! lol hmmm me thinks another saving plan or 3 is needed! lol Sadly I don't think we'll be in a financial position to be much 'use' like that, but we are around for our girls now and I know our eldest certainly appreciates that.
 
Thanks Shel - sorry forgot to say earlier! ((hugs))
 
Thats great everything went well at the scan. Jealous uv got ur wee girl lol poor hubby just wait until there all in there teens lol

Great bargain on d jeans too, good day all round xx
 
Thankfully with 5 years gap along the way they won't all be teens together.. Erin at 18 will mean Adele is 13 and little bump will be 8! Scarry that we'll have such gaps but it's how it is! lol I'm glad in a way for my own sanity! lol

And yes weren't the jeans a bargain! They're not comfy to sit around in for long but are great for letting me 'be in jeans'! lol
 
Just a quick update.. feeling rough today, sinuses and side of my face are aching :( Tried the Dr's this morning but no appointments available. :( Still coughing gunk and mucky nose, so really am getting fed up this cold now. Feeling sorry for myself! :eek:

I have made the effort and cleared my veggie patch (as it's sunny and dry at the moment) which took a turn for the worse in the rain. Still have some leeks left and leeks I've planted up for later on in the year - they may even last over winter - may try some out for winter.
Need to get some onion sets for winter too.

Graham did the grass front and back bless him, so garden looks a lot tamer. :)
 
Sorry your still not feeling right. I can totally understand how u feel as im the same. R u talking like a man? Thats how i sound just now lol and when i cough ud think i was a heavy smoker lol

Hope ur cold lifts soon.
 
((hugs)) I'm coughing like a smoker - it's embarrasing! and blooming sore when it won't stop. :(
But not talking like a man thankfully! lol
The sorest part is my face at the moment it's from just under my cheek bone right up to my forehead.. horrible. :(
 
We went to a restaurant last night (type with big play area for kids).

I met a mum from school who is a foster carer (seems weird us no longer being carers) she has a new baby who was prem but is now 2 weeks old.. I had a hold and OMG it really hit me, we are having a BABY.. a small tiny baby who will then grow. It's mad! Erin is 10 and it's crazy to think i'll be back where I was holding her and marvelling that MY body made that little baby. Crazy as I've held and cared for SO many babies since having Erin, but none of them were mine. Adele was 6 and a half months when she came to us, but wasn't planning to adopt her till a year later. I could have cried there and then in the restaurant! lol I think hubby finally realised just how much I really wanted this baby for the last 8 years when we talked about it last night.
 
Thanks Lisa, it makes me tearful thinking about it I must admit!
I had come to the conclusion over teh years, especially since adopting Adele that it would never happen. hence the surprise when it did, and now to be this far into the pregnancy I am starting to let my head truly believe it will happen.
10 days till my re-scan and I'll be seriously happy if it's all clear on the heart too.
 
21 weeks today! yippee
Time really is flying by now. :) See my midwife on Wednesday and hope she'll give me my MatB1 for my maternity allowance claim. :) may be a little bit early though not sure when they give them out from.

Had another nose bleed last night.. :( right before bedtime and we have white bed linen, so I was really nervous and woke a few times just worried over bleeding on the bed!

Still have a bit of sinus pain, but won't get to the Dr's tomorrow as have the mobile mechanic coming to work on the car and get it through it's MOT - work is general work (gear box mounting, fan belt etc) not for the actual MOT but will mean we're off the road for most of the day. :rolleyes:
 
Cars are a nitemare arent they. Cant live with them, cant live without them! cost us a fortune.

Nosebleeds are quite common in pregnancy unfortunately. Hope they dont last to long for u.

Cant believe thats u at 21 weeks. Arent the weeks flying by
 
Cars indeed are a pain! But we need our car and I'd miss it if we didn't have it. Just hope I'm celebrating a new MOT tomorrow! lol

Hopefully the nosebleeds aren't too regular.

and yes.. 21 weeks is MAD!! lol I do feel like I still have a Looooong way to go but it now does feel like a downhill journey as I'm over the midway point. Only thing I'm trying to bear in mind is that I went overdue with Erin! lol

You must feel that time is going quickly now too though.. When you think it's 4 weeks since you hit the 12 week milestone ((hugs)).
 
Off to the midwife this morning.. all of us! lol god help her! :D Girls are coming to hear the babies heartbeat as they'll be back in school soon enough and then really only half term for them before baby is born!! Which is amazing!! Girls break up on the 18th, baby is due on the 20th!! lol
 
Cant wait to hear how u get on.

U have a nice midwife. Last time i was there mine made a comment about ppl bringing there kids with them. She said i dont understand ppl that bring kids along. Why cant they get a babysitter. I just smiled cause i didnt have Rhiannon with me. But normally i would have her with me....
 
The girls haven't been to the midwife before - LO may be a bit lively but there is a play area in the Dr's and she understands being quiet like at the library so fingers x'd she'll behave! lol

I don't have baby sitters so if they say anything they'll have to like it or lump it! lol

it'll be lovely for them to hear the heartbeat - Erin went with my SIL before she had her little one. She loved it and was amazed. She made me laugh though as told me every detail of the appointment - not that I let onto my SIL - who was given a pep talk about still smoking and BIL was given a pep talk about his BP! lol it was good for Erin to understand the down sides to peoples actions though I suppose - she asked me a load of questions about it all when we were on our own.

I can't believe one school term and baby will be due!! amazing as the terms fly by and Sept - Xmas always seems to race by.

I texted my sister after my Scan last week and she called me up as thought I meant they couldn't find the heartbeat.. bless her! I think the text must've not read right and she panicked. She was relieved when she realised what I meant and that baby was kicking around etc. Will be nice to get the scan out of the way next week - i'm looking forward to it and going to ask them to double check the sex - but am also still a tiny bit nervous.. I'll be happier when they tell me the heart is fine - given my age etc there is still a risk.
