Ooh mines currently 29th July and have dating scan on Weds.
I don't expect the date to change much though as it's an IVF pregnancy so all dates should be pretty accurate.
Can't wait to see your picture tomorrow..... how exciting

We need to decorate the nursery, I can't wait, what fun
The room we're using is currently our 'roon of doom', so we need to clear it first! We've just had our loft boarded for this purpose, so hubby is in the process of getting everything we need up there.
We are then going to paint the room in a light yellow, get a new carpet and nursery furniture and then get more gender specific wall stickers when we know the gender xx
Sounds kinda like our place.
Our nursery is currently Hubby's music room, but he'll be moving out into a larger room to make way for the nursery.
Not sure what colour we're gonna do but ifs going to be neutral and then like you might add a slight splash of colour with assesories and wall stickers.
I can't wait to look into it in more detail and start the process xx

Good morning!
Re buying things for the baby, I would agree with buying the essentials and then waiting to see what your baby is like before you scare purchase everything and then they don't like it!
I borrowed a sling from a friend to try it out and my lo hated it, so am glad I didn't waste the money. For a bath I just used our washing basket in the bath to save water. I got one of those giant spongue things that holds the baby up so they're not slipping in etc. too.
Also, with the santiary products I will also hold off this time and just get one packet to see how I go. I never leaked breastmilk so had to give all my breastpads away to friends.
I have most things left over from my little girl still (bet I end up having a boy this time though knowing my luck!!). Things I will be buying:
sanitary towels
babygros
new mattress for cot
newborn nappies
hoping to borrow a side sleeper / moses basket from a friend
same with a play pen for the living room that is great for putting them down to sleep in the daytime, although I also used to just put them in the pram in the hallway as it is a lie flat one that you can also remove and use as a moses basket.
Have got my scan on Thursday and we'll then tell people the news after that... so nervous and excited!

Nice to see people still on the Tri1 board. I'll be sticking here for a couple more weeks, too.
All the shopping lists are really helpful. I haven't bought a thing yet - I'm still too nervous until I hit Tri2. Perhaps I'm being over cautious. First time mommy at 35!
We also need to rethink the house layout to make room for baby. Like Unicorn's "Room of Doom", we have a room we call the "office" which should really be renamed the "closet". Everything without a place gets stuffed in there! But it's so nice to think that we might soon have a little baby here in our home.

So....I think I finally figured out how to do kegels yesterday evening. Spent a half hour really concentrating. Today I have another first: post-kegel muscle soreness. Feels like I'm walking around work while my vagina grips a barbell! lol
May have overdone it.
On a different note, congrats on your good news, Mel.

Yay, congratulations on the scans ladies, lovely to see your pic Lou, do you have a gender guess?
I'm due the 27th July, so same as you SesameSeed and very clode to you Mel
I am feeling much better! The sickness seems to have been taken over by headaches, which I much prefer! I was sick the usual 10 times or so on Monday, had an awful night sleep because I had a splitting headache all night but was only sick once Tuesday morning and a few times in the evening. For the rest of the week I have been sick 2 or 3 times in the morning and once or twice in the evening and for the rest of the day I don't feel sick at all, it's amazing
Most people said it would take till 16 weeks to stop being sick so if this it is I feel extremely grateful, I was really struggling xx
