Due in December 2015- Jan/Feb 2016

I'm glad you're doing better Sunbuny! I've been meaning to pop in to ask, but I have been busy lately trying to get things done. I am working on getting DS2's clothes out of the nursery and into the room he shares with DS1 and put the babies clothes away. Unfortunately our house is short on space and the boys toys we rotate have to stay in the nursery in totes. At least I can stack them out of the way. And then wash the crib sheets and changing table cover.

I have a feeling I'll be busy the next 2-3 weekends :/

10 weeks to go....although they told me I may go as early as the middle of November [emoji16]!

How is everyone doing/feeling?

Have any of you girls considered encapsulating your placenta? I've read up on it and there seem to be lots of advantages. Has anybody done it before?

No I have not. We usually donate ours along with the cord blood.

How are you feeling Sunbuny? I've been thinking about you!

I spoke to my ob about the placenta after I wrote that post and he was pretty against it. I'm not sure anymore.

I feel much better thankfully. I've finished up with very early but I've adjusted to that idea now and enjoying the time to chill before bubba 3 comes along. I've had no more seizures and doing everything I can to prevent another one.

How are you finding your 3rd pregnancy? I'm finding this one harder... Not sure if it's because it's my 3rd, and I have 2 little ones to chase around or if gender could possibly make that different. Who knows?

My pregnancy has been pretty easy like the other two have been. The only difference is I get Braxton Hicks more frequently and for no apparent reason. The interesting part is lately they have been happening around 7:30-8:00pm like clockwork! My OB said that its my body getting ready. Crazy!!

I'm very fortunate that my boys are super easy. Hopefully this little guy fits right in and doesn't rock the boat too much! I'm hoping that is the case so it will make going for #4 easier! Otherwise, DH may have to make peace with not having a DD! Time will tell!

I find that each pregnancy gets harder. Might be the number might be that I'm older each time. This is baby #6 and I'm 35 now so I'm pretty tired already. Can't imagine another 2.5 months of this. Lol.

It's only half 7 here and I'm already in bed. I feel so tired! (we did take the kids to the beach today).

How is everybody feeling?

Anyway, after years of thinking of girls names we can't settle on one... I can't believe it and with only around 6 weeks to go I thought I'd see what you think... Between Charlotte Grace and Holly Belle? What's your thoughts? TIA xxx

Ooh! I love Charlotte Grace! I like the way it rolls off of the tongue.

FX you can settle on one soon!

We both like Ottis (pronounced Oh-tis) Matthew. We still ponder other options, but we both come back to this name [emoji4]!

I'm feeling pretty good. I can still see and touch the floor when doing my Yoga exercises to stretch my back and calves! I can't believe it! I can only do Yoga and walk for exercise now. The baby has the low end of normal amount of amniotic fluid so no other forms of exercise for me! I've also increased my fluid intake to help as well. FX it works! Otherwise, baby is doing fine- no other potential concerns were seen at my scan this past Friday!

I can't believe we are over 32 weeks now, Sunbuny!! We will soon meet our sweet babies and bask in their snuggles [emoji4]!!!

I love the name Ottis (I can imagine it for a cute little boy and a smart, handsome man one day) and Matthew is one of those fantastic classic names.

I know... Time has flown hasn't it!

You are doing so well XX to be exercising still. I can't believe how little I'm doing right now. I hope to get back into walking after Miss Charlotte Grace arrives (just trying it out ;-)).

Have a wonderful day all xxx

I'm trying to incorporate a few sway factors that are safe to do while pregnant now so it won't seem like a radical change for my family when this little guy is 3-4 mo old. Plus, I'm really enjoying it all! This pregnancy has been easy and a joy after the drama of my SCH ended!

I'm getting Mr. Ottis Matthew's clothes and blankets washed and ready to go! I finally have the nursery the way I want it. I am getting excited to meet him and to snuggle with him [emoji4]! I just can't wait! I wonder what features of me and my DH he will have!

I hope everyone else is doing well!

I love your positivity XX! I finally have a day to myself today so whizzing through the house trying to sort things out.. Will work on the nursery too. And might start some washing later this week.

Hi xx just thread crashing to say I love the name 'Ottis' and Matthew is my ds2's name! Poor boy went two days without a name as I'd had Jacob picked for a boy but it just didn't fit him! So funny as Matthew had never been mentioned but I looked at him day at the end of day 2 and 'Matthew' just jumped into my head!!

Love the names you ladies picked! Charlotte Grace for sure!
Dh and I don't talk names often, we can't agree and end up fighting. I want a Z name (after my deceased grandmother and he wants an S after his deceased grandfather). He tried his name out and I just dont love it anymore.
About 13 weeks to go which is crazy. Better decide on names soon!

Anyone's hormones getting the better of them? I went ape shit on ds2 for standing beside the potty, I'm telling him to sit, he says no and pees himself right then and there. I don't recognize myself :(
