Anyone else due??

[indigoviolet]

Belle- you poor thing, sounds exhausting to be that anaemic. I hope you start to feel better soon.

Dannikins, you look amazing!! so exciting to think the babies will be here soon, can't wait to find out what you are having!

Indira- very impressed with your sewing skills and the walking! I've got SPD again with this pg so find walking pretty painful, even the 10 mins to school in the mornings.

I'm really trying to enjoy every minute of this pg as it will (most probably) be my last, it is such a special time.

love to you all, keep looking after yourselves and your lovely bumps

[indigoviolet]

Indira- thanks for the tip about the free downloads, will get them now. I use a relaxation (free online) each afternoon when ds2 is having his nap and I ALWAYS fall asleep lol!
For my last pg I had a hypnobirthing cd I had which was really good but I have lent it out and forgotten who to so it will be good to have the ones you suggested.

Dannikins-then you might be very near to birth, exciting!
Intuition has been correct for Auroara recently so I have good hopes for you.
And although changes are 50/50 ofcourse, when you´ve had 4 boys already I would reaaaaallly think it is your turn now!
Having 5 of the same gender, waht are the changes of that?
If it´s a boy, I think some disappointment is inevitable, but you´ll have a lot of distraction. And if you restrict your intuition feeling it´s a girl now, it´s not going to make the disappointment any less.

Confession: I was in my birth country last weekend and we bought one girly newborn outfit and 3 girly onesies. Yeah I did spend a couple of hours imagining what it´s going to be like actually putting them on my baby and thinking what a shame it will be if I won´t use them. But after that I´m completely neutral again, not to desperate for a girl, it is as if just buying these was already enough for me.

Dh had a day off work today and we went and bought everything we need for the baby in one shop. Lovely feeling! From being unprepared in a couple of hours I turned into completely preparated! We bought a pram, bath, small things and a little crib that you can attach to our bed, it´s the first time we´re letting the baby sleep with us, lesson learned after DS2! He started sleeping through at 2 years.

Belle eeks your son kept that up until he started school?? My DS2 used to be such a sweet boy...
What you´re describing is exactly how I felt few weeks before DS2 was born, sounds like you´re not going to last to 40 weeks either.

Hey Indira, so you still don't know the gender, wow!
I hope that you can use the girly stuff!
you wrote your "birth country' is that The Netherlands, or do you live here now?
Shopping for the baby is fun

[Indira]

lol Belle about the boy´s clothes, it´s not like I don´t have anything pink to put a girl in if it should be a girl
I´m also sewing 1 pink outfit, I knitted a pink poncho and I bought a couple of girly things.
But I´m trying to concentrate on the boy´s stuff, getting boy vibes from my bump. I´m just preparing to see a boy after birth.
In the beginning after half an hour of walk I was completely exhausted, but I´ve build it up and even if I´m tired afterwards, it gives me a lot of energy for the rest of the day.
Hope you get that anaemia fixed before birth!


Indigo for me it´s the same, trying to enjoy my last pregnancy. July/August still seems far away but I´m sure time will fly. Our babies will be out of our bumps before you know it. I hope our babies and sons will all be cooperative so we will be able to enjoy those newborn moments. Sorry to hear about your SPD

Lotte, no I still don´t know for sure what I have in here but I really think it´s a boy. I have a last US in a week, have to resist one last time.
And yes I´m Dutch but I have been living for 8 years in Italy and now I´m living in the south of Germany.
So in April when we went over for a weekend Ive bought some girly clothes at the HEMA!
When you leave the Netherlands for another country, the HEMA is what you miss the most! More than hagelslag and drop, haha.

[Belle]

I have another test in 2 weeks to see how the extra tablets are working otherwise iron injections maybe.
Indigoviolet enjoy this stage and you just never know if this is your last accidents still may happen... what is SPD? sorry I'm blank. Well our close friends are going to baptize our baby that's another relief not tl think about it last minute. Do you girls christen your little ones? Have you thought of names or did you already have the one or two in mind?

[indigoviolet]

Belle- I have spd, symphysis pubis disorder, where the pelvis gets a bit wobbly and it can be difficult to walk etc. Luckily it is not too bad this time round and I am managing with it well. You are right accidents do happen but i am pretty sure I will be done after this one is born.
I do get my babies baptized but not for quite a few months after they are born when I have enough energy to organise it all!
I still havn't thought of a name!

Indira- i am praying too that we will be able to enjoy those newborn moments and that our older ones will be cooperative

I am thinking of getting a hammock for this one as I have heard it helps with sleep, that is another big worry of mine....

Hope you are all well, love to you all

[Belle]

Indigoviolet SPD sounds painful I'm glad its abit better this time round.
Hope everyone had a nice mothers day, I had a busy one with going to ds1 sports in the morning then out for lunch for me then my mum and dads for a BBQ and squeeze in motherinlaw in the evening, I was buggered by the end of the night. I'm getting a 4d done on Sunday so I'm very excited I had booked for it weeks ago and the day is finally near I just can't wait to see her. Indigoviolet we have to help with names. I had a girl name years ago for ds1 then ds2 after that I didnt want it anymore I felt like it wasn't meant to be and oneday Isabelle came into my head and belle kept popping up everywhere and I just knew she was coming to join our family. Dannikins how are you going?

[Indira]

Indigo I think a hammock is a great idea, I looked into it when Ds2 was little, he was a bad sleeper and a good cryer lol.
In the end I didn´t get one, I just wrapped him a lot and carried him around, but I think it´s a great item to have from birth on. I also saw one that later one you can transform in a swing. We bought a side crib for this baby so I won´t have to get up in the night all the time.

Belle Isabelle is a gorgeous name. We too had girl names for DS1 and Ds2 that we don´t like now anymore. I think we finally have a new girl name now we agree on. We had a boy name ready before I was even pregnant with this one, but now I´m not so sure anymore. And boy names are so hard to find! I´d like to have a name that is pronounced and written the same way in Italian, Dutch and German and that´s hard to find!
Enjoy seeing her on Sunday, that is very exciting indeed! I bet she will be very beautiful.
I had a scan today, normal 2D but you could still see that the face and profile were a lot more like from a newborn, he/she looked so cute! I´m sure that you´ll have a marvellous 4D scan at this stage. My dr. also measured femur bone again, so that was risky, but baby behaved -again!- and kept its legs nice and closed lol.

[Indira]

Dannikins, how are you? You´re probably near birth now, I´m so curious to hear about your reveal delivery!

[dannikins]

im good , still here.
had a horrible week.
first all the kids had some gastro type of bug, constantly spewing and pooing all over the place, and the weather was wet and cold, and totally wrong for all the washing i had to do.
then they just got over that, and i got a tooth abscess , had to wait 2 days to see a dr for antibiotics, and i cant see the dentist untill monday, the antibiotics are working thankfully, not half as painful as it was, but last night while chewing on an antacid for my heartburn, a tooth on the other side if my mouth broke.
so now i cant really eat much of anything on either side....
so glad i have that dentist appointment, knowing my luck lately i will probably be in labour that day and wont be able to make the appointment....lol

anyway the kids are ok now, except for my 3YO, hes still a bit funny in the belly, and throws up every night at about 6pm...its odd, and has broken out in a pupura type of rash, i had to take him for blood tests yesterday because of the rash, he had one last year too, and they couldnt figure out the cause....

anyway, its just been one of those weeks....

i have everything ready for bub, i still have to shampoo the carpets, but just waiting until matthew is over this bug first...
went and done a gig grocery shop yesterday, fully stocked all the cupboards and freezers etc, so now we are just waiting...
