[babyslog]

Eeek cant wait for u to know jojo! Xx

 

[Jojo84]

If ots a girl I though if a name k hadn't considered before - Katelyn

I'm rooting for Thomas or Samuel for a
Boy - or maybe Jacob

 

[Eaw123]

We still can agree on any names

 

[babyslog]

Just got a slot in the next vip for tues.

Oh dear the preview stuff is gorgeous!

I can grt Noah and Charlie kitted out and my bank balance will be terrible! But i cant help itttttt lol xx

 

[jenni16]

I love Samuel Jojo! It's Oscars middle name I'd have loved it as a first name but there's too many Sam's in the family already (my mum being one of them lol).

Oh nooooo! You've just reminded me to check my account and book mine. This is going to be very, very bad for my poor bank balance but our babies will look so pretty haha Oscar really doesn't need anymore clothes, he's still not into most of his 12-18mth stuff I brought in the last sale, it's silly to stick up on 18-24 too, right?! Lol my Aunty is due a baby boy in a few weeks, I need to stop myself buying loads for him too!!! Xxx

 

[babyslog]

Noahs in 2-3 but some 3-4 fit him so im stocking up on 3-4 stuff for him and i need a few newborn 0-3 and 3-6 for Charlie bear

Seen some nice shoes for Noah too but i think im huna get a size bigger so they fot him around autum next year as hes now a 7. Ao im thinking of gettong 1 or 2 pairs in an 8 ready lol. Also seen coats, thinking of getting his nct yrs winter coat ready too lmao!!!!!

This is defo guna be very very bad!!!!!

 

[jenni16]

Haha it's good to be organised, especially when you'll have two little ones to think about soon there'll be no time for sale shopping then, so best get it in now
Rich keeps telling me that we don't need to buy any girls clothes cos there's at least 3 people we know who've recently had girls and offered us their stuff. I appreciate it, but I don't want her to be totally in hand-me-downs from other people. That sounds awful doesn't it?! I want her to have some clothes that I've chosen too, that are 'hers'. Just like Oscar had loads of his own clothes.
Xx

 

[babyslog]

No it doesnt sound awful hun!

Im the same with Charlie, even though I know Noahs stuff is in good condition I still want him to have his own clothes too so ive bought the odd sleepsuit here and there.

Its the same with toys, wishing i didnt go mental with Noah so much cos hes got bloody everything!! No idea what id get Charlie now without it being 2nd hand from Noah! Lol xx

 

[Jojo84]

Just wondering how we're all
Doing

 

[Jojo84]

Just wondering how we're all
Doing

Part of me hopes its a girl so that hubby won't force 100% hand me downs onto another son

That said some of the clothes I bought were awesome and able to be worn by both - especially an amazing pair of orange dungarees with a bunny on - even if mum did say he looks like he's in Guantanamo bay - he was nicknamed Guantanamo-baby whenever he wore them lol

It's with watching www.pumpkinpatch.com for some really well made and adorable clothes ... Especially when they have sales (which is often)

I'm struggling sleep wise too. Went to bed at 11 last night and woke at 4. Nothing at all to do with Dexter; he's still merrily snoring away!

I'm always shattered as well. Babyslog, I've had sciatica apparently. Never had it last time but had it quite badly this time. But it comes and goes. I'm a teacher so on my feet almost all day and those are the worst days. Particularly because I work in the basement of a 3 storey building and the toilet and printer are on the top floor. I ended up having a couple of days off and my doctor wanted to sign me off longer but I'd swapped a couple of days round with my job share and it meant I wasn't in for nearly a week and it's kind of sorted it out. It's not been anywhere near as bad since! Thank god.

I don't know about the difference between sciatica and PGP. I kind of assumed that mine was misdiagnosed and it was PGP but I don't know if that can come and go!

Very excited about scan tomorrow. We had a heart to heart and decided definitively NOT to find out. But then I read someone's post on here about finding out and now I've changed my mind!!

Aaaarrrrggghhh. What shall we do?!?! Xxx

 

[IheartDex]

I keep thinking about the sales and how I can buy loads of clobber if we know!! I'm overweight too so I'm convinced they won't be able to tell us the sex. Anyone have any experience of this?! Xxx

 

[babyslog]

Your weight shouldn't have anything to do with it hun! If they can see baby and chrck the heart and all the checks they need to do then they'll be able to see what gender the baby is if haha plays ball.
It all depends on the angle the baby is and if their legs are open. Not your weight!
Just drink plently so the scan is clear

Its scan day for meee too! Eeeek! 11.10am appointment. I know the sex already, but will update you all when I get home with some nee scan photos.
Xx

 

[Jojo84]

Scan day tomorrow!

 

[jenni16]

Good luck today babyslog can't wait to see more pics of your boy!

Good luck tomorrow Jojo

Scan day for me is Wednesday

IheartDex, I really wanted to find out first time round, but actually really glad I didn't, was a lovely surprise at the end and so nice to be able to call family and say 'it's a boy!!' I was desperate to find out this time tho. Mainly so I could get organised and choose a name (Oscar was nameless for a week!) and sort what clothes etc to buy/keep. Each way has their own lovely perks so you won't be disappointed either way

Xxx

 

[Jojo84]

It was brilliant being team
Yellow last time nobody was surprised it was a boy lol in fact had it been a girl Tim sure they would've hit the deck lol it was lovely to be able to give a surprise in a world where so little is left unknown - but I think it will also be lovely to know
