There is quite a margin for error either way hun so try not to worry. How big were your others?
The boys weights 7lb 14oz and 7lb 11oz.so not huge babies:./Quote:

Ynwa - I was told at my 32 week scan with ds2 that he was going to be a big baby and it freaked me out. He was born 10 days early and weighed just 7lb! So honestly don't stress, I've heard of loads of occasions where they got it totally wrong.
This time I have just been told he should be an average size - not sure what that means lol! You can guarantee I'll have a 10lber now haha!! x
Sorry some of you are getting such awful comments about your bump size, people really should learn to keep their opinions to themselves!
I get told a mixture of things as from the front you can hardly tell I'm pregnant and from the side I look like Mr Greedy from the Mr men! So some people get a shock when I turn sideways on and are like wow you are big! The majority tell me how lucky I am to have such a neat and compact bump, and how I'll just be able to pop right back into my normal clothes afterwards etc. That kind of annoys me too as I think well actually I'm not just lucky, I've been really careful with what I eat to make sure I only gain baby weight. I did the same with my first two but of course you still have weight to lose afterwards to fit in your old clothes properly and tone up the skin again.
Any word from HBP, wondering if Willow has decided to come meet her mummy? :)
Nope, not yet! :(Quote:

I'll be stalking as well! I keep losing track, but I do go back and read everything. Can't wait for babies to start arriving :)
The suspense is killing me with all the soon to be bubbas,!i just can't wait! Hbp I do hope you're ok and resting up before willow's arrival, sending easy labor vibes your way x
I have no idea when bubs nursery will be finished. We're waiting on our friend who's a painter to come do the painting when he gets a chance but he's super busy. Problem is I dont want to buy the drawers for all bubs clothes until thats done but Im so itching to wash all these cute little things I have!! I know its pointless so Im holding out, just! - when are you lot washing bubba's clothes and how are the nursery's coming along. I'd love to see pics :)
Our LO will be in our room for a few months/weeks and my mum will be staying in the nursery to help after my C/S so probably wont have it all finished until after. Im starting to feel overwhelmed that it will all be left till the last minute and the house will stink of paint etc when bubs is here. We have new doors and door frames to be painted all through the house and the painter prefers oil based enamel for the frames - if he can do it soon I can stay at my mums place with the boys for a week or 2 until the worst of the fumes are gone at least but if it gets too close to my due date Im not going to want to be by myself with the kids.. (My mum wont be at that house as she lives with her partner in the country and just comes down to the city every few weeks) oh gosh I am rambling again arent I lol
I just want to say that I really miss NC Beachy. I sent her a pm a while ago and haven't heard anything back. I really hope she's ok.
Has anyone else heard from her?
And I don't wash clothes until a few days before my due date. I don't want them sitting in drawers for weeks after being washed.
I got our bedding yesterday. And we are starting to paint this weekend.
I hope all is ok with her too :(
Great that you got your bedding, which one did u end up getting ?
No I haven't heard anything from nc I really miss her too I hope she's ok.
How exciting ThreeMenAndALady what bedding colours did you go for in the end?
Xx
Remember when I asked you guys to give your opinion on 3 sets. I went with the navy waves at babybedding.com. It looks great. Now I just have to paint, put the crib together, get drapes and push this little guy out...lol.
The quality of the bedding is AMAZING!!! I have also purchased Glenna Jean bedding in the past. They too have great quality. I love the bright colors in this new set. Baby boy bedding has come a long way...thank goodness!!!
On another note, my friend gave birth to a healthy baby girl last Saturday. And surprisingly I didn't care. To clarify that statement, I didn't get sad that she had a girl. Her dd doesn't look like a baby my dh and I would have and she isn't mine...if that makes sense. I'm really looking forward to my little boy coming. I'm also incredibly worried that I haven't grown a third and fourth arm yet to juggle all of these kids...LOL!!! Sorry ladies for my dry humor.
Love the bedding three it will look amazing.
Lol when you find the recipe for the extra arms let me know I could also use a few more! Actually I could use a whole extra body right now! Xx
I could use a new body too. I'd like to clone myself but the "other" me can't speak, eat or sleep. I want her to cook and clean all night for us so I don't have to do any of that when I wake up. And then she can take care of the kids during the day. That doesn't seem like too much to ask for.
Yeah that would be perfect lol x
I hope both ncbeachy and spinning are doing okay.
I think spinning could use prayers and positive thoughts and messages of encouragement. :heart:
I agree Atomic. We've pm'd eachother a few times. I miss her.
I agree sending her all my love xx
Another one here who misses spinning. I think of her often but am afraid to disturb her. She really deserves all the happiness in the world and I really hope that everything works out well for her and she gets the beautiful healthy little daughter she deserves in the future.
I often think of her too, I feel like you LL. I do hope she is ok :( Im sure as her Due Date draws closer it will be difficult for her so my thoughts & love are being sent across the miles xx
3M&L I like your thinking! I could do with another me around the house :)
Sending lots of love to Spinning! xxx
I hope NC is okay too..
3men~ Yay for navy waves!! Hope to see pics of your finished nursery. :)
I wonder if little Miss Willow has arrived yet???? x
I keep checking in to see if there have been any updates from her too. I do hope all is well and she is just busy with her new baby girl :)
Hi ladies, sorry I've not been around...I'm trying to keep myself busy and take my mind off stuff! Still nothing to report here I think she's well and truely stuck for the time being.... Getting fed up of the 'is this labour' signs now tho, I never had any doubt with my boys when labour started but this time is soooo different! Promise to keep u all updated if anything changes either I or butterfly will let u know :) xx
Glad your ok hbp, was getting worried about you!
Xx
I'm finding this pregnancy that I'm getting more twinges (not all the time) with braxton hicks, which sometimes makes me worry. I've also had twinges near my cervix area. Is it just one of those - every pregnancy is different - things? The BH aren't regular or anything, and it's not every time, but I've just noticed it from time to time.
I have such *rage* today. Everything is annoying me. I feel like everything in the house is filthy and I live in a stoned in mass of disgustingness that I can't ever clean (and some issues are beyond my control at the moment.) I let the dog outside and I'm downstairs (three flights down from where I let him out) trying to handwash dishes so I can make dinner for me and my son, and the dog is just out there barking for no reason. So I literally feel like unleashing hell and beating stuff up. What is my problem?!
I think I often feel this way during the weekends my husband has to work and stay the night somewhere (due to him not being able to get to work on time on Sundays due to public transport times on weekends) so I just feel alone, isolated, stressed out.
Even my son's recent British-leaning accent that's been coming out has been INFURIATING me! I don't even know why. I seriously correct his pronunciation of words because it annoys me so much but I know it's all ME and not HIM because he lives in England, therefore he is speaking that way. I guess it's just one of those things that makes me feel so strange, hearing my son speak so unfamiliar in his accent to me that is becoming more and more noticable (even though I live here and my husband is English.)
The weirdest things are throwing me off!
I also had a week from HELL at work. I mean, utter hell. I cried numerous times. I did have a facebook message from one of the lead radiographers who said: "Hi Gena! Didn't get to see you before you left today but just wanted to say wot a fab job u did this week! It's been a hell of week & so glad its the weekend! It's so tough being 1st contact but u r a lovely calming influence. Have a relaxing weekend xx" which was a nice thing to read after such a horrible week at work... but even so, I feel like I can't breathe right now. Everything is annoying. I even feel like I can't enjoy my son or give him the attention and interaction he deserves from me... because I'm tired and angry all the time. I almost thinks he is preferring his childminder to being home with me (I can't blame him...)
It just makes me sad.
Shit. I hope I'm not going to be prone to PPD after this pregnancy? I was totally fine after my son but I'm just wondering what's going to happen this one. I better not think about it too much...
Sorry, had to ramble. :(
:( it's probably all those hormones playing havoc with you hun plus the bad week at work won't help. I bet you can't wait for your maternity leave. Go have a relaxing bath or something to chill your self out! Xx
I suppose... it's in constant waves, though. I hate that I snap at my son about EVERYTHING. So annoying. I'm annoying MYSELF!
I mean, we have some serious financial issues that we did NOT have the first time, which no doubt also contributes.
Ugh...
**hugs** Surgena
Does anyone else feel BH toward their back? I don't recall that happening in my other pregnancies, but it's been happening a lot since my L&D trip to rule out labor.
TT I sometimes get those, they are quite intense and remind me of labor pains. I keep getting a feeling this lo is going to be early but maybe its just subsequent babies?
Gena, I feel for you, I went through a similar stage a few weeks ago and I felt awful. Good news is that it passed. You are dealing with a lot of stress right now and Im sure you are still very homesick after your recent trip home so with all that AND the fact your hormones are maxed out there's no wonder your feeling it. Don't be too hard on yourself hun, I'm sure it'll pass, bring on maternity leave!! Try & take some time out for you once your DH is back so you can try & recoup, even if its just half an hour, sending hugs x
HBP I thought you might be keeping busy, so glad you're ok. Sending positive thoughts to you & willow xx
I get a TON of Braxton hicks towards my back, it might be because I get back labor with my births though. My bhs have been getting painful and more frequent, makes me more nervous for impending labor in 6 weeks.
6 weeks to go Rosie, wowza that is close too - Probably seems far away but Id love to only be 6 weeks away Im so bored of waiting although I have so much to do so I guess I need the extra time.
I am excited that I have an Ob appt on Tuesday so I get to see my LO again, it feels like forever since my last appt at 21 weeks. I just want to make sure all is well with my bubba. Hoping my appts will be every 3 weeks from then on as it makes time go quicker. If I think of it by appts every 3 weeks then after Tuesdays visit I'll only have 3 appts before my baby is here :) I have a few friends due in March and April so hoping that'll make time go quicker too. Tell me those that are in the "30 week" is time going faster now??
