Dreaming Pink Due Date Group: TTC and Beyond #2

[TTCPink]

Sorry I have been missing lately, ladies! I was so sick this past week with a terrible cold. I was miserable and had two days where I did not even get out of bed. Finally feeling better thank goodness! My doctor's office called and said they had to reschedule my first appointment (which includes a scan) and I couldn't get another appt. until December 10th! I am so bummed. I am hoping they call with a cancellation this week because I was hoping to see the heartbeat so that I would feel comfortable telling our family on Thanksgiving Day. I have been spotting a bit here and there but since I spotted with both my boys in the first trimester I am trying not to worry too much. It's hard not to worry though, and I want to have the scan ASAP for peace of mind! I am 7 weeks today.

Best wishes all of you who are due this next month with your deliveries!! Wishing you happy and healthy babies!! I hope everyone will be sharing newborn pictures. I will be anxiously awaiting to see news in here! So exciting!

Hi ladies,
Holding on just fine over here. Feeling good in general! Overall, people have been great about boy #4...I was really dreading people's comments, but so far there have only been a few truly negative comments. Most people do ask if we're going to keep trying for a girl, and what can I say but yes! And what's funny is that almost everyone thinks it's grand! LOL. I had a lady today (with four kids, 2 of each) say, "Oh, I'd have 2 more in a heartbeat if I could convince my husband!" Anyway, makes me feel good about our decision to keep going.

Anyway, hope you're all well, and looking forward to seeing pics of sweet babies in the next few weeks!

Good evening ladies,

Sorry I have been AWOL, but things have been a bit busy. I can't believe I am already almost 33 weeks and I can believe even less that any day now I could come on here and find one of you ladies announcing the arrival of your little bundles.

We went on a hospital tour the other day, it made things feel a lot more real, we have moved countries since the last time I gave birth, so we wanted to get an idea of how things are here. The good news is that they also do the gas and air here now, so I am relieved about that.

Other than that I am just trying to get things organised for the birth. And then of course there is Christmas.

Not feeling too bad apart from the fact that I feel constantly tired...

How is everyone else?

Pumpkin...I love your new family pix....what a gorgeous family you will be adding those twinks too!!!

Awww that's so sweet thank you ladybug!

I can't believe how soon you'll all have your babies. It feels like I am AGES away from that. Haven't even realized I am pregnant because I am feeling awesome! No nausea only have to pee A LOT (at least 4 times a night) and a little tender breasts that's it. Can't wait for the next scan in 2 weeks I am so scared something might happen. The other night I had a dream I lost one of the babies 😔.

So the first babies will arive next week already?! I bet Charlie is the first one to hold her little one .

I have a feeling those are two girls in there. ;-)

Don't worry I had dreams about loosing baby too because after swaying and ttc so long I think it felt even harder to replace than ever before. It's normal and doesn't mean anything. X

Welcome back! I know what you mean about being busy and time getting away. Hospital tours are exciting, a great way to make it all feel more real. I had a breastfeeding class last week and that did the same (I only managed to feed ds1 for 4 months and ds2 for 2, so wanted to refresh and give myself my best shot at going as long as possible with this one). Seeing a few mum's lately with new babies has helped bring it all home for me.

I feel like sometimes at the moment I think oh I have heaps of time BUT with Christmas and new year in between, 4th Feb isn't really so far away! I don't even have my cot back yet, which I lent to a friend. I get it back soon but am only just now starting to feel like I need everything prepared in the baby's room because I am so busy between now and delivery with working 3 days (at this stage it looks like I will be working up until 1 week before my c-section) and the holiday season.

However I do tend to get a crazy level of nesting which I can feel coming on, so I think I have plenty of time to get things organised if I spend a few mad nights of frenzied organising and rearranging.

Thanks Meeks you girls are awesome! Don't know what I would do without your support. Can't talk to anybody IRL about the fears and joys of pregnancy so it means the world to me that you girls are here. Hopefully I'll feel better once I am in the second Tri but it freaks me out that I have so little symptoms.

Hi all! I can't believe a few of you are officially at full term. GO BABIES, GO! Can't believe I'm a quarter of the way through the pregnancy already. I just don't really feel pregnant at all for the most part. Scan in just under 4 weeks, just hoping all is well in there... I really could sleep for Britain - got the usual fatigue from rheumatoid arthritis plus more tired from pregnancy and now dealing with insomnia to top it off. Yaaaaayzzz...

I Love Ladybugs, it's so warm and cosy in there - I don't blame LO for not wanting to move, nor would I!

Gecon, I'm glad you feel settled with the hospital arrangements - must be a huge weight off your mind. So just a waiting game now. Hoping all goes well!

Pumpkin, one of each would be lovely, but 2 girls would be fantastic! So surprised your sickness has stopped - well done, you! I'm not too bad with the constant peeing, thankfully, although it feels like something inside has changed shape or moved - up until last week it was almost like I had a sponge or something in there, I had tons of warning as to when I had to go and if needed I could hold on for a quite a while and my bladder would form a neat bump in there. As of this week, shorter warning and I don't have my 'bladder bump' anymore.
