^^ yeh clean bed sheets will do it! Mines due today too, but no sign yet.
I would love to do the clothes shopping beforehand but like the surprise more. There’s some nice gender neutral stuff around. Plus I have a family of knitters....!

Haha yes the cardis I got for Aria and crocheted blankets she uses her blankets in bed still now.

Much prefer the guessing and waiting

Actually.... you’ll have a baby by then.... free time for such activities is GONE whilst you wash sick out of your hair and find the cats buried under toys and covered in dribble, whilst contemplating when you last brushed your teeth, or hair, or had a shower

best get my crochet on now then hadn't i!

 

[BabyMaker]

Lol my coil is also firmly in situ! The pull out method wouldn't work, I dont think. I wouldn't trust either of us if I didnt have it There would be too many slip ups and I'd end up on tv like 16 kids and counting
We found out what we were having with both kids so I'm now toying with the idea of going team yellow. Not asked hubby yet as I'll wait until I (hopefully) fall pregnant. No point discussing details with him yet. A few months ago I started a baby names list and, again, I wouldn't ask his opinion yet as he'd probably freak out and think I'm weird. Which I am
I just love planning ahead!
Glad you're feeling better princess, and hope everyone else is well
xx

 

[EllieH]

I’ve got my names saved in notes on my phone, but hubby doesn’t like the girl name I love it as well. We were discussing it last night whilst watching one born every minute haha he said he liked Cora but I’m not so sure... agreeing on a name is difficult!

 

[EllieH]

I have been emotional this afternoon!

We have Mother’s Day breakfasts and teas where the mums are invited to one to enjoy that meal with their child, in the room my daughter is in, they sat the children down on a separate table who were expecting their mums to join them and this little boy was sat at the table with 2 girls and their mums but his mum forgot to come and he was sitting there so nicely it broke my heart. Bless him, his mum did feel awful but I was actually crying telling other staff about him sitting on his own at the Mother’s Day table! I’m such a cry baby! X

 

[Donna88]

We agree on loads of girls names, although I don't think we agree on which is the favourite. He doesn't like any boys names, I like a few and he says the one's I like are okay but he isn't convinced. It's like well, if you don't like any and we have a boy we'll have to pick one haha.

 

[Princess81]

Awww Ellie that’s so sad, I’d have been emotional about that too!!
We have our names picked already
Emmeline for a girl and James for a boy (I really like Alexander but he’s not on board)

 

[netty]

Alexander is on our list and oh likes it but I think we're set on Cooper for a boy as it was his late grandads name and I absolutely love it. But I'm also in love with elijah / morgan and wyatt
Stephanie for a girl

 

[Donna88]

Ellie I didn't see your post before about the little boy; aww bless that is so sad. I bet his mum felt awful too.

 

[EllieH]

I use to love Alexander, I prefer Xander more now but hubby doesn’t like it because it’s ‘too American’
Our boys name is Frederick, love that name and it was hubbys grandads name.

I’ve done nothing but laugh today though haha and was able to tell someone about the little boy sitting by himself without crying haha

Question : how many children would you like? Is your next pregnancy your last? Or are you planning a football team?

 

[BabyMaker]

Oh good I'm glad I'm not the only one with a names list haha! Mine is also on my phone so if i'm out and about and i see/hear a good one I jot it down I love Freya for a girl. I've about 20 girls names and no boys names. I love Xander though but my hubby would say the same as yours, Ellie
Ellie, that poor little boy. I bet his mum was heartbroken bless her. I forgot mufti day at school which I cried about lol! My DS didnt seem to care but i did. So I can't imagine what she must have felt.

I thought our DD was our last but here we are lol! But i'm pretty sure our 3rd will be the last so I'm going to enjoy every second (minus the nausea...)
xx

 

[Princess81]

I want 2 more in quick succession and then I’m closed for business. O/h wants us to have 3 together but that would give me 4 in total.... bit too much carnage

 

[Donna88]

I'd like more but hubby wants this to be our last as we live in a 3 bed; so he's being sensible and our boy is too old to have to share with a younger one and we could end up having one of each sex so they couldn't share either. So unless we buy a bigger house this will be mu last

 

[Princess81]

Yeh it’s good to consider the practicalities, we will need to extend as also have a 3 bed, there’s the possibility of a loft conversion but I want to extend over the garage.

 

[EllieH]

We’ve got a 3 bed too, but Aria will have the biggest room as hubby and I are pretty sure we’ll have another girl (not the only reason why), we could also do an extension and/or a loft conversation if needed but ultimately I would love 4 and like you princess would like another shortly after the next haha

I’ll never forget how I felt after having Aria though and never wanting to do it again and I get that feeling in your chest where you’re panicking slightly on the inside, and I hated being pregnant, think I’m talking myself out of this ha! The end is all worth it though, just 9 little months for a beautiful child!

 

[EllieH]

I thought our DD was our last but here we are lol! But i'm pretty sure our 3rd will be the last so I'm going to enjoy every second (minus the nausea...)

Oh god, the nausea babymaker! I’m dreading that, can you imagine it being twins too, Aria keeps say ‘2 babies’ no idea why I keep asking her where and she just looks around.

 

[Princess81]

Ah I didn’t mind being pregnant, or birth. The newborn was traumatic though
