***August 2016 Mummies***

[Summergurl]

Hey ladies.
Think I'm over here now I'm 13+4 due 9th August.

I too have struggled to shop for maternity stuff hardly any shops stock it you've have to order it all online & guess sizes! So frustrating. Although I have ordered a few maxi dresses on eBay for about £8-9 each in a size bigger as they're very stretchy so I just know I'll be living in them as soon as the weather picks up!

I have my 20week scan a bit before my 20week mark on the 17th March.

I'm unsure if if I want to find out the sex but I know OH wants to know but he's said its completely up to me, I'm carrying it so I decide! Lol

Have you ladies bought much baby stuff yet?

 

[fcroxy]

Yeh your in tri 2 now feels good doesn't it? I can't believe how quick tri 1 went by.

I've only bought a 6 piece set so far with sleep suit, vest, hat etc. Probably won't buy much more until 20 week scan and find out the sex as kept all of harpers clothes, bouncy chair, Moses basket and stuff so may not need to buy much. I'm also hoping to not buy a double pram and use our travel system but Harper doesn't like walking much atm so may look into using a sling for the first few months so Harper can use the buggy for the time being. I do wanna get a new baby carrier tho as didn't like the one that came with the travel system so much but not sure if ill buy a carrier or a joie stages car seat, we have one already as we still rear face and I find it great. Can also be used from newborn but we didn't get ours until Harper outgrew her baby carrier so never seen a newborn in one. Tbh they are quite big and I would imagine a newborn would look lost in one! Have you bought much yet summergurl? Xx

 

[Summergurl]

We are going to get a sling too but when they're a few months old. We haven't got much to be honest but we've got a Moses basket & bought 1 neutral outfit & have been given 2 Xmas outfits that my mum got in the sale for 3-6months which will be perfect I imagine.

So many pram choices out there though just do not know where to start!

Yay summergurl joining us!!

Roxy yeah I have similar plans to you with the room share situation. I'm nervous! Lol hopefully this baby will behave and sleep!

I had a babasling last time, but to be honest I never really felt like Sofia was secure enough! Anyone know what those slings are that look a bit stretchy?

Phoenix - tell me more about these wraps instead of swaddling?! I want some! Xxx

 

[fcroxy]

I like the look of the stretchy sling that wrap around you. Tbh tho I don't have a clue about slings so hoping to find a sling library near me so I can try a few x

 

[Nickinakinoo]

I made it to 2nd tri well depending on where you look! How are you ladies doing? Anyone bought much yet?

 

[flexilexi394]

Hey Nicki!! Glad you made it! Yay big milestone. You'll laugh at me... I've got everything other than clothes for this baby. Adams sister dropped stuff round the other day, it consisted of Moses basket and stand, bottles galore, steriliser, bouncer, baby gym, toys etc. We got our travel system last week and car seat. Pretty much just need clothes and a cot eventually! Madness or what?! Have you got anything yet? Xxx

 

[Nickinakinoo]

Wow that's organised! I've got a Moses basket and bedding in the mother are sale and a perfect prep machine and a MAM bottle set but that's about it! The nursery set we want has gone up £100 which is annoying! What travel system did you get?

 

[ab11]

Had extra scan with specialist today, all is good and growing well xx

 

[Nickinakinoo]

Wow that's such a clear scan, beautiful! We're debating whether or not to have a gender scan at 16 weeks,

 

[fcroxy]

Glad everything is looking good abs.

Welcome over Nicki, exciting more ladies are starting to join tri 2.

Went doctors today about hands and feet keep going numb and pins and needles, looks like I have carpal tunnel in both (although its called something else in the feet but can't remember what he said) so need to book in with physio, also for my knee too because I'm in agony! Haha my poor body, god knows what the physio will think when I go in with a list of stuff wrong! Hope everyone's okay xx

 

[ab11]

Thank you
Ohhh we was going to find out early too Nicki but we're staying team yellow now.
Aww hope they sort you out Roxy xx

We got an iCandy peach off of eBay it's gorgeous! We were going to go for a lower range brand new one but saved a lot of money and got a much nicer one than what we wanted! Xx

Ouch, hope you start to feel better! X

 

[ab11]

Well we've got to get past the 20week scan first, ohhh got date now 14th March xx

 

[flexilexi394]

Cant wait to see everyone's 20 week scans! so exciting! are you guys finding out what youre having?? I cannot wait to find out what I am having!
My scan is 18th Ab - not long at all! xx

 

[ab11]

Do you have a gut feeling either way?
We're not finding out out but I'm convinced it's a boy xx

 

[flexilexi394]

I feel like I know it is a girl. But I may be completely wrong, I had that with Sofia. Was completely convinced that she was a boy and I got it completely wrong. I think its a girl because I am soooo sick and this pregnancy is exactly the same as my first pregnancy!
I wish in a way that I could remain team yellow because I think the element of surprise is exciting! Is that just your choice to do it like that? xx

 

[ab11]

Ye well hubby would like to know to be organized with everything but after everything we've been through think its just nice to keep it a surprise.
Watch us have 20 week scan n find out lol
Just need to get past 20weeks.
Ohhh wonder if its another little girlie for you Lexi xx
