I stupidly got on the scales AFTER dinner tonight, why do i do things like that?! Anyway I've put on around 7kg (or 15lbs)... Not sure if that is notmal or not.
I'm almost done with baby's nursery already, just have to hang some curtains and wall shelves and its done.... Its looking so cute.
We need pictures of the nursery!! :) X

I will as soon as it is all done, going to nag hubby to get his drill out and finish it off tonight.
Ok so here is the finished product. I had so much fun doing this room!
omg you did amazing...that room is ADORABLE!!!
Good lord woman!!! You are talented!!! I love it!!!
Peebell its awesome!!! Lovely room!
Thanks guys, decorating is my hobby and passion, I love it A LOT! Always thinking about ways to make my house prettier...
Its beautiful :) xxx
Wow what a nursery! I love the idea of decorating but then I walk in the room and I sit down and then need to take a nap cause it's just too overwhelming! haha
Its easy! You just start with a favourite blanket, or print, and thats the jumping off point. For me it was the fir tree blanket, and went from there. Most of the furniture is from Ikea!
How is everyone feeling?
Sleeping for me is really difficult I either have to get up and pee constantly or I've been waking up with horrible leg cramps.
During the day my back is killing me!
Haha I have to keep reminding myself I'm doing this for a girl so it's worth it!
I do enjoy her kicks at this point they make me smile and my 7 yr old giggles every time he feels it which is sweet. He is so excited to finally get a sister.
Until last night, I have been have pins and needles in my hands when I lay down. Would end up waking me up:/ last night seemed to be ok which is strange seeing it was the hottest night yet!
I have the most water retention this time again prob from the heat so my skin feels tight and I complain about that a lot! Lol!
Other than that I am just counting down the days! I'm trying to enjoy being pregnant this last time but I have never liked being pregnant (event go I think i will everytime I'm not pregnant! Lol)
I am really looking forward to just watching my kids grow, enjoying my last baby moon and getting on with things;)
tomgirl, I get up at least 2x but it's become quite a routine, I hardly remember! Lol
Yes I'm waking up at least once at night, usually around 3.30am. I'm also getting really bad night sweats... My iron is low and have started supps but they are blocking me up bad which has brought back nausea.... Gah
And this kids elbows are soooo pointy, it actually hurts sometimes when he's moving around...
Hey ladies! I'm a bit sad my 2weeks in the sun with my boys is over. Back a week now and not at all organised for our new arrival in 13 weeks or so! I was feeling fab on holiday. A bit swollen in my normality skinny ankles a few times towards the end of the holiday. Really funny. But ice packs helped. It was boiling hot but my tan has faded so much already! Just as i got home my annoying rib pain kicked in. Hot water bottle and wheat packs are now my friends. Baby was really quiet yesterday and i was really worried. Took 3 hours to get the smallest movement out of her before i could go to sleep. She does this a lot, I'm going to be totally gray by delivery! Got a good wee wriggle off her this morning. She has such limited movement a lot of the time its hard to know what's normal. My boys are back at school and ds3 starts mornings at nursery on Monday so I'll have to get stuck in to the house in the mornings, decluttering, moving ds3 in with ds2, clearing out my office area and getting filing up to date while dh decorates the nursery on his days off. All go, just as i start to feel like a 6 month pg almost 39 yo lol!! Feeling like i need to slow down as the rib pain and dodgy feeling in my hip/bum reminds me i can't run about at full speed any more! Xx
So who else is starting to feel huge? I'm a fairly short person and my belly looks full term. I have people asking me if I'm due soon and I've still got 10 weeks to go!!! Getting soooo uncomfortable now.
Hows everyone else travelling?
Yes Peebell! I'm Always embarrassed to say I'm due mid October as I'm gigantic! But it's true, I'm only 5'2 and storing the same baby in a pretty short body! Lol
My last baby was 9lb 2 oz so....yah getting real over this now!!
Plus today I woke up and I have been gaining weight but def can see water retention in my face and my feet and hands are tight. Never had it this bad before but I've never been this pregnant in the heat of the summer either!!
Well I had my diabetes test today, and I didnt hurl... Yay me!
My hips are killing me now and I'm walking, no waddling so slowly. I'm officially over it. Fast forward the next 9 weeks!
I have been avoiding the test. I just don't want to take it. I know I don't have GD and it's just one more thing I just don't have time for so I've been procrastinating! My low back hurts so much almost all the time that it's sometimes hard to walk.
I actually ended up at L&D Monday night as I was having BH with some discomfort coming every 4-7 minutes so I wanted to be sure I wasn't dilating. Everything turned out fine and I think it was just due to not sleeping more then an hr the night before and a ton of stress. I'm over being pregnant but also not ready to have baby girl in my arms quite yet. We are starting the construction on the garage today for my 13 yr old to get his new bedroom. I am super excited to get that done and him all moved into it. I'm ready to start seriously nesting with fall on it's way.
I also feel ginormous but actually haven't gained any weight in a few months which is nice cause I've already gained 26lbs so it's nice to see it halt for a bit!
I've started researching what color theme I want to do for this nursery. I want to go all out this time since 1. I finally have a girl and 2 she's my last! The bedroom is a soft green with a pale green rocker and dark brown crib and changing table. I am thinking soft pink and light grey would go nicely with the green.
We are in the final stretch ladies! Woohoo
Had a 4d scan tonight, definitely still a girl! Albeit a shy girl. Going back for a rescan. She was breech, 2lb 14oz, with her hand at her face most of the time :) xx 28+1
I feel like getting another confirmation but don't as I don't want to know if it's wrong lol! So we shall just see;)
Although I'm on the homestretch it seems like an eternity away!!!

Please watch out for this and consult your gyno, because sometimes this retention can be pre-symptom for pre-eclampsia.
At least that was what I was told by my gyno.
Wishing you well!!
OMG my life has been so ridiculously busy. Haven't been on here in awhile. MIL visited all last week, kids first day of 3rd grade and K was last week, DD first birthday was last week, and we finally sold and closed on a rental townhouse that we have been renting out last week. Crazy!! Glad that everyones pregnancies are going well. Here is a picture of DD and her cake:) Hard to believe she just turned one and I am going to have another one in 11 weeks!!
Beautiful cake and baby wanting!!
I'm in BC canada and the teachers are on strike so not even sure when my kids will go back:( the usual time is around sept 2 but we may go into October, kinda crazy and I'm kinda in denial!!
Thanks mamato3? It def comes and goes depending on what I do and the heat. I have really low bp so actually am told to add salt to my food as I get light headed and nauseated easier because of it! However, my sister did get HELLP syndrome with all 3 of her babies so I do keep a close eye on my bp as she also had very low bp so when it was higher than normal it went unnoticed as it would have still been in the normal range for someone with average bp... If that makes sense?!
Apparently I am at higher risk for getting HELLP being her sister but so far all my pregnancies have been fine:)
Question: anyone had dry skin on their belly? Today I literally have peely skin! I would think it was sun exposure as I did lounge in my sisters pool and one day it was belly up floating on water for a good hour (albeit with sunscreen) but that was over 2 weeks ago and my belly hasn't seen the light since then so I don't think it could be peeling from that?!?
Everyone seems to be having girls again.... there was a boy influx, but now it's back to girls.... I can't wait to meet my boy, but the sting of GD kicks in every now and then and makes me almost feel depressed. I feel awful about it.
I understand Peebell:(
It just sucks all around! You know you'll love him but at the same time it seems unfair and like 'why not me?' But then you won't want him to be a girl when you meet him, it's so
Many conflicting emotions!!!!
I know that feeling so well peebell. It sucks. I've always been the one with only boys. It seemed so easy for all my friends. Huge hugs xx
Thanks ladies,
It is a weird conflict, I have never wished my boy to be a girl, he is just the best thing ever.., its just a stupid desire that I wish I could switch off. I dont really want to try for anymore kids....
Soery i pressed send too quickly. I dont want to keep trying for fear of having another boy and feeling more disappointment... Even though I know I'd adore him. Stupid emotions.
Peebell big hugs!!! I know how you feel! don't know what to say. Now I'm pg again ofcourse I'm hoping for a girl. but before i got pg and it looked at times there wasn't going to be another one i felt at peace that my beautiful fam stayed the way it was.
I'm sure in the near future when you can cuddle and love your sons that you will be at peace too.
but I really need to have the baby for feelings like that. that's why I'm staying team green this time.
good luck sweety
Thanks Sweetdream, I am sure seeing my two boys frowing up as best friends will cure my desires... Lets hope!
I hope people at least come back here to post their baby pictures:(
So very quiet.
It is. Don't think I've ever seen a due date thread covering 3 months so quiet! Apart from when i was on holiday i check in every day. I'll make a point of posting even if its just to say hi.
With 10/11 weeks to go I've got so much to do. Starting the nursery this weekend but I'm stumped as to what i want. Getting her wardrobe and drawers today. Can't wait to start getting everything washed! After last weeks scan i do feel better that she's actually a girl, although it still feels incredibly surreal. Even the fact there is a 3lb baby in my tummy, fully formed is kinda blowing my mind. Can't believe im 10 or so weeks from having a newborn baby. Crazy xx
Soooo quiet here for you guys!!glad you guys are still here :). I noticed alot that were due in Sep, Oct, Nov and that were active ttc stopped chatting after bfp big shame! What are your plans for nursery?? I can't even imagine being putting together a girly nursery too exciting!!! Xxx

I'm due in a couple of weeks! Eeekkkkk!!! :) hope you are all well xx
I think after years of wishing i could do a pink nursery, I'm at a total loss!! Want to incorporate every cute thing but it's too small for my grand ideas. The cot will be in our room to start with so that's throwing me. Me and google images need some quality time to sort my ideas out! Xx
You guys should look up nursery pics on Restoration Hardware Baby, they are so pretty but understated.
It is a quiet thread, I just havent felt great this pregnancy, a little bit down and not feeling overly excited, and feel guilty about that. Silently jealous of you mums getting your girls too. But very happy for you all the same of course!
Me too Peebell (((hugs)))) xx
I understand kittybear and Peebell!!!
Last time I was the exact same way. I think that's why my comments are mostly just pregnancy related not gender unless someone asks. I totally get the excitement but I was totally where you were at so I get that too!!
We will be hopefully cleaning out the baby's room this weekend as it has everything from every other room as we moved things around to give us 4 rooms instead of 3. It's the boys old room so it is a tourqoise colour. I'm just going to leave it and add bright pink and gray accents. Seen some ideas on pininterest that seem to work:)
I'm excited to see all your babies pics when they're here!!!
Only 7ish weeks til I won't sleep again lol!!!
I've been on forums for the last 3 pregnancies and it's been so hard seeing so many get girls, it's still fresh in my mind, i know how hard it is. Even at my 12 week scan i was told boy. I was thinking of going awol from gd and fb due groups at that point. I just couldn't do it for a 3rd time, i felt very low and flat and ill which wasn't helping. I was on ig for over 2 years & very active, and it was a strange thing, being so happy for those getting their dg but painful too, but the support was invaluable after i was told boy (& what a scrummy little boy he is!). I'd hate to make anyone feel sad because of what i post, and apologise if i have. I just still cant believe it.
Hugs to all xx
