September 2013 babies!!

Thorz i'm no expert but to me your friends pic looks alot more bulky and sticky out where as yours looks really flat and more girl like, your friends looks like it could be the back of a pair of testicals, hope that makes sense. I'm sure shes your little girl with all the shots you got :)

Wanting that cake is amazing, i bet your so proud of it and i bet the little girl loved it. I'd love a cake like that and i'm 24.

Stared potty training DS2 today so i'm expecting lots of puddles around. Really hope hes easier to train than DS1 was.

wanting that is an amzing cake my mum made me one a bit like that for my 7th birthday i still remember it so it's deff worth the effort!

agh feel 34 weeks preggie not 24 really can't see how i'm gonna make it 40 weeks ;-S grump!

hope you ladies all feeling better

Me too and I'm only 21 weeks , my belly is huge! Feel quite painful at night from my ribs to my pelvic bone!

Thorz I can understand what ur thinking. I still can't get my head around having a girl. Never thought I'd be lucky enough to have one! I never had a potty shot so I have now forgotten what I did see on the day of my scan. I also keep thinking that sometimes they get it wrong and I'm so scared that will happen to me! Be nice to relax and enjoy it, I'm just scared to do it!

Wanting, I agree, that is phenomenal!

Thorz, your friend's scan has two "parts" to it that make it not typically girl. There're the three lines close to the body but then a further protrusion anterior to that which are also imaging as three lines. It's a weird shot though. Anyway, your scan is a million percent girl (trust me, I KNOW girls' scans).

Mel, I am enormous as well. People are beginning to look surprised when they ask and I say I'm only 20 weeks, I seriously look about 30. The same thing happened with DD3 though and I evened out by the third trimester. My ob only weighs women if she's concerned about something so I think from now on I'm going to try to eat well, exercise and stay off the scales. I always get it off afterwards but it's a pain and doesn't tend to shift until I start running again (but I love to run so it's no hardship).

Same here. I've had lots of people asking how long I've got left, like I'm just about to give birth! Think it must be the more kids you have the earlier we show. Has anybody brought baby stuff?

We have been buying a few bits now we know if to buy blue or pink. Not bought loads tho, just incase. We have another scan in a few weeks so when its been confirmed (again) we are having a girl i'm going to finish buying.

So far we've got a car seat (but thats good for a boy or girl). A baby bath and towels, a few clothes and . . . SOME DRESSES!! :running:

Can i ask tho, how much newborn clothes is everyone buying? DS1 was 6.7 and DS2 was 7.11 and i've heard girls are smaller so dont know what to buy as DS2 didnt even go into newborn where as DS1 was in tiny baby and newborn until he was 2 months old.

My ds3 was 8 10 and only fit newborn for a a couple days and then 0-3 until he was a month... He didn't lose any weight after birth and went from 8 10 to 24 pound in 5 months! And I spent a lot on his clothes and thank god a kept them all cause we are quite financially strained ATM so i wouldn't be able to get loads of nice stuff from scratch.... Although I have spends a few hundred on clothes already for the new little guy :s I have baby shopping issues lmao and a baby blanket addiction lol

I know I mentioned the guy that got murdered when he was selling his truck... His body was found on a farm down the street from my house... Now they are finding more bodies! Omfg!

Omg WAG.... Scary stuff!!!

oh WAG crazy stuff poor you ;-S

I'm gonna by one set of newborn 8lb babygrows girly ones whoop whoop but thats it my ds1 was 8lbs4oz and my ds2 was 7lbs1oz! tiny my comparision he got his only set of new clothes - tiny! guess which ones bigger now ;-0 i don't think personally think this one will be smaller cause she's a girl i

Girls are supposed to be smaller but my cousin and best friend both had girls over 10lb lol

my friends second girl was 8lb10oz and this number 3 ;-S

OMG WAG that is scary and awful!!

I still haven't dared buy anything girly yet. I did get started on a rug for the nursery though, if this baby ends up being a boy I can just untie the pink and add blue or green. This rug is gonna take a lot of time and fabric! Good thing the baby won't be here for awhile! Attachment 11333

Love it thorz! I really want to make one! Do you just buy fabric and cut it in strips

I want one too! Tell us how to make it, where do u get the stuff t make it from?

Yep I just buy the fabric, cut it into strips and tie it on the non slip rug mat. It's really easy but time consuming and it takes a lot of fabric so make sure to get a lower cost fabric if price is an issue.

That looks great Thorz. I haven't bought anything yet, I tend to not buy anything for the baby until 35 weeks as I'm a bit superstitious about it. We'll need a new double stroller though and a new car so that's enough! Our current car can be converted to a seven seater but then we lose the boot which isn't practical.

I don't think I'll go over the top with clothes though, it's not really my "thing". All my DDs mainly wore leggings, shorts or long pants when they were little as they're much easier to crawl, toddle or climb in. The big girls still prefer shorts or jeans when they're playing although they do love to get dressed up now for parties etc.

I had what i think was the worst heartburn ever last night. Came on about 30mins after eating tea and stayed till about 9.30pm. Pretty sure it was heartburn but never remember it being so bad with the boys. Having a really tough time with food this pregnancy :(

Is anyone else really really tired all the time too, i thought during the 2nd trimester you are supposed to be feeling all rosey and bushy tailed but i just want to sleep.

Oh daltag I'm knackered and grumpy and feed up with it can't possibly last another 16 weeks ;-(

Taking 20 guides on guide camp next week too need to find some energy for that!

Congratulations Thorz on your pink news how fantastic for you!!! Im at my third scan today at 2.30 hoping for pink news again although im 100% shea still all girl and last scan was correct.
Will update you ladies and post piccys if they let me get lots :) hope your all well.
Was wondering on what names you had decided on for your babies.
We have chose Belle-Rose pronounced Bell-eh rather then bella :)) xx

OH WAG thats scary!! I find it sickening what goes on in the world! How horrible about the tornado through the mid west. SO sad, I cant handle news like that while hormonal and pregnant. Makes me want to cuddle my babies and never let them go :sad:

I'm feeling really tired too, especially in afternoon, could easily go back to bed ( obviously with the kids I never do! ) I'm really painful this time too, by boy pregnancies were so easy this time my pelvic bone is really sore

whooop whoop i have finished work!

My pelvic bone is hurting too especially if I have to sit at my desk for too long. When I stand up from sitting it really hurts and I can't walk properly. Does anyone have that?

I have hip dysplasia so I know exactly how you feel! My pain is actually in my butt lol but it hurts so bad to sit or stand or walk or anything really but the absolute worst is going from sitting to standing. Sorry you are in pain! We are over the half way mark though yay!

Is anyone having a baby shower? I never had one with DD2 since I already had everything from DD1 and I know it used to be that ppl only had them with their first born. Though, Seems now days everyone I know has them for each pregnancy no matter the gender or number of previous children! One of my good friends want to throw a shower for me since we are having a boy this time but Im not sure if I should or not! DH says it will make me look greedy! Lol..Besides I have already bought so much, with 4 months still to go I dont know if I will need anything else by then!

I'm having one! My friend is throwing it for me. Here we have one for our first born of each gender or if more than 8 years has passed between two of the same gender! I'm so very excited to finally have a girl baby shower!! For so many years I would leave girl showers in tears until finally I stopped going all together and would just give gift cards! Now I can start going to them again with out tears! Yay!

I had 2 for ds1 that's all I get lol.... Good thing I have everything lol

Oh interesting here they tend to be a surprise I didn't have one for ds1 had a lill one combined with birthday party last time, doubt I will this time, 4griffins if your friend wants to organise one let her you can always say no gifts here you don't always do gifts people tend to buy something when te baby's born maybe were more superstitious or more people stay team green ;-s

I've never had a baby shower and wont this time either. As sad as it sounds i'd have no one to come lol.

We do have a big "party" for the babys christening though so ill be planning that pretty much right after shes born, we will be hoping to have it sometime in jan.

I can't WAIT To get rid of all the boy clothes I've been hanging on to for almost 7 years now!!! They have gone through at least 3 boys, but most of them were hand me downs so actually they have been through at least 4 boys! If this little one is still a girl at my scan next Thursday, I will get rid of 3 storage tubs of boy clothes and shoes, everything 18 months and under is GONNA BE GONE the day I confirm girl! And then as soon as DS 3 grows out of things....they'll finally be gone too! Hooray!

Here's to hoping she didn't grow a penis between last scan and the one next week!

I did the same thing Thorz! One of my friends is having a boy and she already has a girl so at my 20 week scan I packed up all the boy stuff and give it to her and she gave me her girl stuff. I am hoping she will want to continue to do that as long as possible. I ended up giving her three big boxes of clothes and I have more for her.

I want to get rid of lots of my boys stuff, but some I can't part with, only thing is I still don't believe it's a girl. I'm so scared that they have it wrong!

Yay yay yay! I'm so excited!!! I have all but convinced myself this is a boy with a hidden penis!!! I have been obsessing over wrong gender horror stories, and have spent hours Online looking at ultrasound pics! I feel like Im going mad!! I started getting depressed about it! I finally decided to call the private place that told me boy in the first place, what is the worst they could do, tell me NO.??! So what!! I called and now I get a free rescan TOMORROW! And to top it all off, DH has the day off!! I'm so happy! I can't wait to have this girl dream confirmed or If I see a penis, then I will know for certain!!!

I had a baby shower for my first. But here you don't tend to do more than one. I don't really have the need for one. I've bought so much already. And what I haven't bought I don't need to as it will be handed down from my last baby. They are good fun though! If your friend wants to throw you one go for it!

Contemplating going to the hospital.... I'm having period like cramps for a few hours now and now I'm having sooo much pressure it feels like he's gonna fall out... I checked to see if I could feel my cervix I did not poke around Or anything just wanted to see where it is and it is quite low and ridiculously soft like
