[Longingforgirl]

I am so sorry for your loss Northern! I have no words. I so wish you a lot of strength and supporting lovely people around you to go through this painful time. And I hope you will be able to hold her one more time as you wish to do.

Thinking about you!



Fish and Girlsway, crossing my fingers for both of you for today!!!

Diva wow, looks amazing and your boys look so cute sat in the front of the plane. Hope your having a great time and enjoy the yummy food. Have fun!

Wanting i know what you mean about names, me and DH had a nightmare with names as we never agree. Both boys have 2 middle names each and all 4 of the middle names are after family members. Having only a small family we ran out of names/family members if this one is a boy but we have gone with Luca which is after me (Lucy)

Fish, thinking of you today and praying you hear good news from your results

Salsa, hope your 3 little ones get well soon and also you dont catch it. Its horrible when they arnt well, hugs.

Only 4 days till my 20 week scan now and i'm soo nervous but soo excited. I hope this week goes quick

Good luck today Fish and Girlsway, keep us updated!

Ugh I think I gained 5 lbs just over the weekend! I couldn't move much because of the sprained foot, and my appetite was out of control. I had pizza for breakfast lunch and dinner for 3 days and lots of candy and cereal! OMG I had no self control! Still don't look pregnant, just like I've been eating pizza for breakfast, lunch, and dinner lol. I need this baby belly to pop out asap! Im tired of feeling fat, i want to feel pregnant.

[Wanting-a-girl]

Omg I'm sitting here at 9 am wanting to have baked potatoes lmao I don't know how long I can hold off so far I've had half a mini watermelon, a granola bar, glass of choc milk.... I really want some potatoes mmmm the sad thing is I will make 3 or 4 and eat them all at once with butter and a mountain of shredded cheese... I'm very happy yo be able to enjoy eating again that's for sure... Morning sickness kicked my ass

How much has everyone gained so far... I've gained 11 and 7 of those were in the last 30 days lmao

[Salsa]

I've gained more than I want to admit!! But am pretty much the same weight I was for my last 3 pregnancies at this time. Which means I've put on the most with this pregnancy because my starting out weight was about 8kgs less than the other times!! Hehe oops!
Well I'm 21 wks and only feeling the odd flutter still..... Getting frustrated!! I really want to feel this baby move its so comforting and puts a smile on my face. I know my placenta is anterior, infact I've only had one pregnancy with the placenta posterior (and felt movements from 15wks) so anyway, I just wish the kicks would get a bit stronger by now... I was hoping once I felt baby move more it would make me feel more connected and not so concerned about finding out the gender!!! Hmmmmm....

[Wanting-a-girl]

O that would suck I can see my stomach move when he kicks and rolls and he has been getting the hiccups too
My baby is the most active one I've had by far... I have never been woken up from fetal movement and the past few days he's been waking me a bit.... I don't mind its comforting....

He sometimes faces my back and I can feel him kick towards the back


Btw I also like my for a middle name possibility I will ask DH ... I've already asked him about pax, and Kai and kale

[Southern Butterfly]

Congratulations Mel!!!! So happy for you

Thorz- Glad you're staying off your foot and resting your hips. Eat all the pizza and candy you want, you need some meat on those bones!

DLTA- Good luck at your scan! That's so exciting. Hopefully the next few days go by quickly for you!

Fish and Girlsway- Any news on your results??? Hoping for happy updates from you both!!

Diva- What a cool experience for your boys, love the pics!!

Salsa- Sorry you have 3 sick kids! That's tough juggling them all being sick at the same time. Hope everyone gets better soon.

WAG- Our kids all have family middle names as well. If there aren't any other family names you would like to use then a few suggestions I like are: Lennon James, Lennon Grey, Lennon Grant, Lennon Jace, Lennon Owen, Lennon Gage, Lennon Colt, Lennon Trace, Lennon Theo, Lennon Cole, Lennon Wyatt, Lennon Wayne, Lennon Chase...

I have gained around 9 lbs, I'm not certain because I have one of those old school scales that use a needle and only really tell you the exact weight every 20 lbs. We need a digital one so I can be certain. Ugh ladies, I might need some help. After getting all the new carpet and rugs for our living and dining room, I have realized that I absolutely HATE the paint color that I have in my front room. It was supposed to be a light blueish grey but it ended up very baby blue. I think I want to paint it a very light cream neutral color because we will be selling it in two years. What color would you paint it...???Floor After.jpg
This is an old pic just after I put the floors in, but since then I have put a little furniture in it. but DS3 is having a melt down, so I'll have to take a pic of the current state of the room at nap time.

Ok here are the more current pics, but the blue is more blue than it appears. I think if it was actually the color it appears in the pics I might think of keeping it. (don't mind the dresser with missing hardware will be fixed. Atm everything is a work in progress)

Thorz I feel your pain with the paint colors. I repainted our family room and dining room after I painted them because I hated the color once it was on the wall. I think you should stick blue however, if it is more like the blue in the first picture then it is a little to bright. I think the blue should come close to matching the blue you have in the couch. Blue is a hard color to pick out. It almost needs to look grey on the paint sample. The blue I painted DS2 room is a very muted blue/grey and on the paint chip you can only tell it is blue when you compare it to grey. On the wall though there is no mistaking it is blue. Right now I am in the process of picking a color for the baby's room and it is difficult. I am going purple however, I want it to be a very muted grey/purple which is hard to find. You never really know what they color is going to look like in your home until you put it on your walls. I have a love hate relationship with painting

Fish and Girlsway hope everything is okay... waiting for an update!
