****July 2018 Mummies - Tri 2****

[PeanutButter]

I think its purely down to how horrible my brother was to me tbh. If i had a sister really close id probably be saying that i wanted a boy cos sisters would just argue too much ahaha.
Hubby and his sister get along great but theres a 6 year gap.
I just need to feel some bigger movements and it'll become more real.

Come on then little baby give mummy some real boots haha.

I bet that affects how you see them. But I know sisters who despise each other and brother sisters who are super close as adults. Every situation is different so don't let that sway you. Just imagine watching them play together, learn to walk together, make sand castles together in the summer. They'll probably teach each other stuff. You're going to be so in love! Xx

 

[PeanutButter]

Ikno ill probably cry my eyes out when i see him, my baby lol. I feel so guilty for wanting a girl cos i have one and after everything we went through just to keep a baby.
Plus i do think boys stay closer to their mums.. which makes me happy. Me and my sister dont see our mum often but my bro goes to see her every other week (she moved away).
Ive bought loads of clothes saying Mamas boys aha, dd mostly has daddys girl so thught would be my turn

 

[Lulla Bell]

My Husband is a proper Mummies boy haha we joke that she would still BF him if she could!
I think its lovely that you're having one of each

So other half confessed to me tonight he wants to know what we’re having and he’s going tell my mum and his mum....won’t stay a secret from me no one can hold their own water !!!!! Also he’s hoping for a girl ... I’d feel sorry for this baby if it is a girl she’s never be able to make eye contact with any boys or if any guy looked at her in the wrong way he’d know about it... ha ha ha!!!
I still don’t want to know and have no preference but I still think deep down it’s a boy...

But I do think we have names..... got a few girls names to play with but I think boy is sorted.... I say that but I keep hearing names and I’m like ooh I like that what about this... it’s quite hard naming a baby, I never had this problem naming all my animals.... (big animal lover as well as keeper, currently have 5 ferrets and 2 dogs, I’d havppily have a farm if I was allowed!)

hate this 2am and I’m awake and it seems to be every day the same.... wouldn’t mind if I was awake for a reason but I’m not!!!!
Sorry for rambling on....

 

[KHTW]

I keep waking up at 2am too!!! It's crap!

Hope they can keep a secret from you lol but doubt that as well

PB you will love your little boy so much! Don't worry in advance about his relationship with your DD... it is something you can't control but you can teach them to respect one another xx

this! there's definitely no point in worrying about it now. all sibling relationships are different

I always wake up at 2ish to girls. usually for some gaviscon and a wee. don't know how long it took me to get back to sleep last night, had "bonjour" from beauty and the beast going round and round in my head.

oh is always up and gone when I get up but always leaves a lovelu smell of bacon in the house, I usually manage to resist but today I've made myself toast, avocado, scrambled egg, grilled tomato and streaky bacon and wow it was heaven! hopefully thatll keep me going until 1130

 

[PeanutButter]

Feeling much better about it now. Thanks ladies.
Keep getting really excited for a boy then think about dd and him and sorta just worries me, thats all. Im a control freak aha.

Amy id be kinda pissed off if hubby told everyone tbh. If he wants to kno fair enough, but everyone else should wait until birth. Just my opinion though.

I had DD in bed with me last night, wasnt a good sleep aha.

Your breakfast sounds amazing! Ive not been eating much Like cereal, then lunch a ham sandwich, maybe an apple and chocolate, last night i completely forgot about dinner cos hubby was away, and i would have just gone withut but hubby orderd food for me aha, pizza so ate a bit in bed and went to sleep.

 

[Shepherdess]

sounds harsh Amy but i wouldnt let husband know if I didn't want to. last pregnancy he wanted to know but I didn't so I said no. there's no way he would have kept it to himself.

this pregnancy he drunkenly told all his friends about the baby before 12 weeks, I didn't mind that but we also have some friends who found out the gender of their first and wanted to keep it between the two of them, the husband got drunk and told everyone so I don't think men can be trusted

 

[PeanutButter]

Lmao Shep!
With DD i wanted to know, but hubby didnt, so we compromised and found out lmao. We both wanted to with this one. Next baby we wont find out because we have one of each anyway (if i can control my excitement lol)
But i could never let hubby find out and not me. Especially if he was gonna tell everyone else nahhhh

 

[Amy207]

I know it’s an exciting time for everyone with a new baby first grandchild and all that, everyone has been dead good with advice but this everyone is pushing that they need to know and I have turned round and was a bit harsh but said who’s baby is this mine and Stephens or ours and everybody else’s!!!!
I’ve explained on the day my mind could change once I know everything is ok with baby and nothing to be worried about as this is my main priority not what sex it is. I thought I was just being a practical new mum but some make out the most important thing is the baby’s sex!! (Rant over)

 

[KHTW]

Amy you shouldn't have to explain your decision to anyone. If you and OH both agree you are not finding out that is nobody's business! And if you then change your mind at some point that is also ok! Your baby = your decision! x

 

[sarah1986]

I'm off to my local mothercare tonight for their expecting parenting event, has anyone else been to one?

Just wondering what to expect.

 

[KHTW]

Have fun Sarah! I have never been to one but heard you can get some good deals/money off the bigger items x

 

[JemRose]

Amy, I know it's both of yours baby (grammar awful there but can't work out how to word it right)

But, the baby is in your body and essentially you should get the last say. Either you both find out, or neither one finds out!! It will only be let slip if one finds out and really not fair.

Keep to Team Yellow and tell OH to get over it and be patient.

My OH doesn't want to know, but I do - so we are knowing haha, I get the final say as I'm doing the hard work.

[KHTW]

Jem your scan is sometime this week, right?! Exciting! I guess boy for you

 

[PeanutButter]

Amy, dont let people push you into anything. My in laws didnt want us to find out, i didnt care i didnt even think twice.
Having the first gandchild is hard! Eveeyone wants to be involved. Dd was first on both sides ugh. Just remember its your first baby, and you do stuff you wanna do!

 

[PeanutButter]

Jem your scan is sometime this week, right?! Exciting! I guess boy for you

I guess boy to!

 

[Shepherdess]

Amy just do what you and your oh want! ignore everyone else.

it's funny where we are people still don't really find out, especially with their firsts so no one expected us to with DD. the only person who was a bit funny was my best friend who was also pregnant, she did find out and I don't know if maybe she felt the shine was taken off her a bit as we still had that excitement to come but she made a few funny comments. at the end of the day it's only an extra 20 weeks to wait and everyone finds out eventually

ooh Jem I'm struggling to guess for you... girl
