Hi All
Its so cool to read all the posts, with so much happening for us! Welcome Lisa!! On the boy or girl wives tales, there is one which says a high heart beat predicts a girl ... which was true for me. There was an article on the front page of the national newspaper recently about on a study of cows (!! puleasse!) which they are trying now to attribute to humans which states that if you are slightly overweight before p/g it predicts a boy and underweight a girl. Hmmm right!!
Good luck bella!! Eek! How exciting. I think its neat that you are showing, true would be nice if people would keep it to themselves though huh. Am too at stage where am sick of waistbands now and wouldn't mind just kitting myself out in mu mu dresses for the duration. (Big flowing samoan tents for the uninitated
)
Sue, your up soon too! Reckon your going to hold out on finding out the sex? What an amazing suprise for you in November.
Ahart, your getting there slowly! Sounds like things are a little uncomfortable. Are you a small frame person which is making it less roomy too?
Kirsti, am not sure how big the baby is, coz theres a whole heap of measurements and abbreviations that I dont know what they mean, but I think baby is 18 cm long and weights about 380g, The u/s put my edd at 5 Nov too, one week ahead of my LMP due date of 12 Nov. So maybe baby will come early .... celebrated by the sound of all the fireworks going off for guy fawkes! Very fitting!
So jealous of you guys feeling baby kicking! Still I think nothing for me. Sometimes there is the odd hiccup but I really DO think this is gas! Maybe in a few more weeks I will feel something
Tracii ... how about names you ask! So many names!! I am in baby name heaven at the mo!! My current faves are Scarlett, Maia (determined brave one in Maori), Anahera (Angel in Maori and my grans name), ..... and a bunch of others including Zoe, Anais, Autumn, and Sera. I have 40 more in a list that I have to whittle down!! What fun. Have to be careful I don't name baby with something thats going to give her a complex and a bunch of earache in the playground! Though have to say that people really liberal with names over here, in my DH's family too heaps of lovely slightly off the wall names.
I love the ones you guys have thought of for you wee ones
Ciao for now, hello to everyone else too (off to satiate my trawl of the internet for more names!)
Mel
Best of luck and hope to see you soon!
