grub - thankyou for your support, oh on the topic of names I accidentally named our baby.......oops i was going through our list of girl names and although its not my favourite (Sophie) it just felt right, but i won't settle on anything until after the birth. I only have two or 3 boys names but a tonne of lovely girls names. I feel like I know her now after seeing the 3d images and I needed something to refer to her as. I must be hormonal. glad the iron tablets are helping!
I also splurged today and bought one of those baby bjorn bouncers, so good, at least i hope it is. I have a lot of hand me downs being the youngest sibling in my family so haven't needed to buy hardly anything and we still have all of our things from DD1.
mindhugs - so glad you're excited about your little bundle, i think you will know exactly how to raise your little man! i know boys and girls are different, even my 2 little girls are like chalk and cheese and their interests and the way i need to discipline varies greatly. I know what you mean about stringy cheese, I think I'm addicted too!
Jaki - beautiful pic of bub!
Kaybee - thanks for your support, I think I just find the comments a little hard as I miss my little boy, but yes I think you're right, once baby is here, will be ok. I haven't been public (because of our health issues) but a lot of my friends have and had no problem. Its not too late but as mindhugs said they usually charge the nasty care and management fee at 20 weeks (for insurance and other stuff). My private ob is a little pricey, we have the usually 2000 care and management fee, but they dont charge much for the monthly visits and no out of pocket for delivery so he's a pretty reasonable one. And as we saw him for our ICSI and he was lovely we were happy to stay on. I still wonder if I should just go public sometimes though!
Possums - I can understand what you're saying about having time to come to terms with gender and it sounds like you've already bonded with your little man, yay for cute outfits and finding a name you both like, DH and I have often been at opposite ends on names and I think I actually gave in in the delivery room with DD1! sorry to hear about your ears and tummy, hope they settle down soon.
Lori - I hope you're doing ok and having a good week. I know what you mean about needing time to come to terms with it. I can see what you're saying about genders developing traits though. Is your daughter excited about bubs arrival? I bet she can't wait! Goodluck with your scan though and hope it all goes well!!!!
Kelly - hope you're hanging in there ok!
oneday - goodluck for your scan tomorrow! I'm not sure about the gender, I had a sonographer get a gender correct for me on an early scan (she offered to tell me). But none of the others I had been to had offered that early. Best of luck, enjoy seeing bubs!
My food cravings at the moment seem to change everyday which is very inconvenient when trying to grocery shop. Last week, I wanted oreos, cold milk, pizza, chinese, and snakes alive. This week I'm desperate for a buffet breakfast, bacon, eggs croissant, pancakes with syrup, fresh orange juice, thick buttery toast, english muffins. And I'm craving fresh strawberries but they are not to come in season for another few months!
