This is my bump and side angle of boobs! haha sorry ! I am a size 10/12 and normally have c cup boobs .. now into an E.. its ridiculous! But I don't feel you can even see the bump with the floaty top on and just look bloated with just a vest on. I had a very visible sticking out bump with all the boys by now it's very odd!!

Excuse the dirty mirror ! Oops!

I have my 20 week scan on Tues but still not finding out... even tho it's all I think about.. boy or girl lol.

The outcome was that it was bruising that caused bleed but don't know what caused bruising (haven't dtd in ages due to extreme fatigue!!)

Lovely bump Sugar, I think I've just passed the stage where it's hard to tell if you're porky or pregnant as people ask now lol! X

Hope you are ok Karen, bleeding is always a bit of a worry. Glad all ok with baby. I'm massive at 20 weeks, so worried what I'm going to be like by the end! Had the gender scan today and baby is definitely a girl!! We are so happy! Took our nearly 8 year old and he loved it, we even got a bit in 4d for free, which was lovely for him. Good luck for 20 week scans this week X

Fantastic news that you have confirmation that baby is a girl!
I was over the moon that my bundle is girl too, and that's after one boy so I can imagine your delight!


KarenB - I hope bleeding has now stopped and that you're not worrying too much. Sometimes, strangely, these things just happen!

My 20 week scan is on Wednesday, i'm looking forward to seeing baby again. I'm not really feeling much in the way of movement so hoping to find out if the placenta is in the way or anything as it's starting to worry me a little bit.

Nursery has been decorated, I'll get some photos soon but i'm really pleased with the vintage floral like wallpaper.

Also, I wanted to mention the Aldi Baby event, I don't if anyone has been? But it's fantastic. I got so much stuff for Zachary from there years ago I restocked this week; muslins, blankets, dummies, change bag and nappies. There nappies have been excellent for Zachary -no reactions and the price is slightly insane. £1.09 I paid for a pack of newborn nappies this week! Really can't recommend Aldi enough for baby things.

Had my private scan today, unmostakingly another little baby boy lol

Congratulations Ronnie on your little man, great photos too! x

Ahhhh look at these beautiful baby scans and bumps! Made me smile to have a quick nosey through the posts this am.

Karenb im so sorry you had such a scare and Im glad all is well. I think bruising can also be caused by egg implanting and can leave a little blood sac- maybe babies growth has dislodged it? Fingers crossed for no further worries.

We moved some furniture around to accommodate all our stuff from Theo in babies room as most of it is to be re used which is great on our purse!

We may also have a name, its one both me and DH agree on and I think its really cute but also cool for an adult..... Jude.

Im so excited to meet my little boy and going from a family of 3 to 4 Im feeling positive about, I just hope baby Jude is as good a baby as Theo was!

Half way there ladies!!!! Sending love to you all xxxxx

Awww congrats on team blue Ronnie.
My 20week scan won't be till I'm close to 24 weeks as I'm in America about to get married on the 9th sep lol so when I get home I will do the scan

Selina - I love the name Jude!

Has anyone else been considering names?

We think we've decided on Annie for our little girl - middle name still being discussed!

Would love to hear what names you are all thinking for your little bundles?

[Selina13]

Alipops, what a lovely name! I think for us it will be nice for baby to have a name- an identity for our little boy to make a bit of a connection (hopefully). X

 

[Hoping for no2]

Congrats on team blue Ronnie! Luckily we've had a girls name decided for years, unlike a boys name. Just as well its a girl this time, lol! X

 

[Hoping for no2]

Love the name Jude for a boy, wanted it for my second by hubby wouldn't agree X

 

[Sugar10]

We have Logan, so far, picked for a boy. But that's it! And there are other options, and have about 6 on the list for a girl! So no closer to agreeing, but we have plenty of time! Jude is lovely, and Annie. Xx

 

[megsmeadow]

Ooh names are a nightmare!!! I'm rushing ahead and making it difficult looking at names for both sexes. It'll be a lot easier when we know!! We have Ross and Lewis with a Scottish surname. Any suggestions welcome

We had SO many girl names on the list:

Betsy - which my mum is calling baby as she likes it. We've not actually told anyone we think we'll call her Annie.

Annie - current winner!

Maisie - i've just decided i'm not keen. No major reason.

Nancy - I like, OH not so keen.

Matilda - OH likes, I like but wouldn't like Tilly or Matty shortened versions, so wouldn't go for it as first name.

Florence - OH really likes it. I like it, but not really for a first name I don't think.

We had decided on a boys name though: Oscar - I was completely convinced baby was a boy and there's had that all lined up and ready!!

[Karenb]

I think about names all the time but find it a very overwhelming decision to make!!! I'm currently thinking Olivia for a girl and Cohen for a boy. Bit put off that Olivia is so popular at the mo but I think it goes lovely with my daughter's name, Sophie. Xx

 

[megsmeadow]

It's funny how the popular names stick though isn't it. Lewis is quite common here but it didn't really put me off too much.
I actually love the name Alexa (My granny was from Alexandria but oh hates it as a name). The OH pointed out that Amazon might have beaten me to it

 

[Alipops1986]

I agree it's difficult is some names are super popular.

Fortunately, Zachary doesn't seem to be too popular amongst boys his age so that's a bonus.

Also, it's a fine balance between something different/not so popular/quirky and just a bit odd/too old!

That's how I feel about the name Dorothy, I'd love a little Dotty but can't imagine her being 30 called Dorothy. I felt the same about the name Arthur, loved it for my little boy but couldn't imagine him being 30 and going down the pub called Arthur!! haha, probably my own issue there.

 

[Mystery26]

I'm set on Aurora Rose lol don't think I'll be changing it

One of my great grandma's sisters was called Dorothy but she was called Dolly all her life. I think its gorgeous as you have Dotty or Dolly. Xxxxxx

 

[Karenb]

Thank you everyone

Names are hard, I found it impossible to name my first boy so naming a second will be a difficult lol.

I'm thinking a nice Welsh name but nothing too wild lol. X

A friend of mine chose the Welsh name Ffion for a girl as her hubby is Welsh, think that's cute x
