September 29, 201510 yr Other than a rounder baby bump, she looks the same! So healthy. Exciting times for you both.
September 29, 201510 yr I think you should go with Chris, Christopher, Chris or Chris If it is a girl... Christy works. Boy o boy...is your life about to change. Strap in and not on homie, life is about to change.
September 30, 201510 yr Boy o boy...is your life about to change. Strap in and not on homie, life is about to change. Yes, you have no idea. But the second one is when the real crazy sh*t starts.
October 5, 201510 yr Author Yes, you have no idea. But the second one is when the real crazy sh*t starts. One step at a time my friend, lol. Less than 8 weeks to go... (More or less)... Tasha only has 4 weeks left at work! Went baby shopping again at the weekend. Picked up a nice mattress and a few other things - still loads of things to get! Help!!
October 5, 201510 yr It's truly amazing.....just how much stuff....a little tiny person needs.... It's flying by now.....exciting....
October 5, 201510 yr Best advice for the first couple weeks: Stock up on lots of food and diapers in the house. Any family help would also be greatly appreciated (especially for Mom).
October 5, 201510 yr To help with my grandkiddies. I bought a basket...every week i bought a couple of things... By the time baby arrived....a gave over a basket full of goodies...that would last a good while...

October 15, 201510 yr Author Update! Everyone well here. Baby is getting very big now - Tasha is still going for her daily walk, but can only manage about 15 minutes now. 33 weeks and 4 days -
October 15, 201510 yr Still predicting a 7lb-8oz baby girl..(upped it a couple ounces...momma is a bit rounder ;) ) Glad to hear all is going well... Thanks for keeping us updated... Good luck!
October 15, 201510 yr Oh wow...brilliant.. I'm still going for a little boy...maybe 8 pounds 7 ounces...
October 15, 201510 yr EEEEEEk!!! how exciting!!!!! mmmm... difficult, if not impossible to guess weight without knowing 'fluid content' IYKWIM, but she's so little, other than the 'bump at the front'....so guessing a girl! I had Polyhydramnious, and was 5' 1" around my girth at 8 months when I had my last child... and she was only 8lbs.. so if anyone had tried to guess the weight, they'd have been WAY off! lol! When people saw me they'd ask "are you the lady having quads?"... ha!
October 16, 201510 yr I love that you're sharing this with us. My predictions: A baby boy 7 lbs, 3 oz 18 1/2 inches long Name options - Finnian, Ringo or Christopher
October 18, 201510 yr Update! Everyone well here. Baby is getting very big now - Tasha is still going for her daily walk, but can only manage about 15 minutes now. 33 weeks and 4 days - I love that her socks match her shirt, lol. She looks beautiful, healthy, and happy. :) I am so excited for you two!
October 19, 201510 yr Author 34 weeks and 1 day... Went for a meal on Saturday with the other couples from our anti-natal classes, and all the girls are getting together tomorrow night as well (5 first-time monthers, all due in November). Is nice for Tasha to have people to talk to about everything. Will update with another picture soon, but everything is OK here :good:
October 20, 201510 yr How does she not look like a house at 33 weeks, I'm guessing you guys are having a boy based on my own bitter experience of being a heffer with girls haha. I'm with Leanna, my OCD salutes Tasha's co ordination in socks and top :) It's just so exciting!!! I LOVE babies. ooooh, we could start a "top tips" thread so we can post all our well meaning "help" and you can ignore it cause doesn't everyone have some advice for you?! Have you been getting lodas of "advice". I love that Tasha has bonded with a group in the same position, it's a powerful thing that sort of support :) Yay!!! 6 weeks and counting!!
October 21, 201510 yr Author I can take some credit for Tashas apparent coordination... I am her designated sock-putter-onner at the moment. Not the best job in the world, but someone's got to do it :) Lots of people here saying BOY... Please feel free to give me any 'tips' you have because I really have no idea at the moment!
October 21, 201510 yr I think you will be a full on dad...wanting to do your share....but ...1st tip.... Learn the diapers.....there is going to be years of them....xx
October 21, 201510 yr all the girls are getting together tomorrow night as well (5 first-time monthers, all due in November). Is nice for Tasha to have people to talk to about everything. I took a class when my daughter was six weeks old with like 10 other Moms. Some of us kept meeting after the class ended. 4 of us are still friends to this day and try to get together once in a while (challenging with teenagers and living in different areas). That was almost 15 years ago!
October 22, 201510 yr Ah yes, diapers. No kids of my own, but I have done a lot of babysitting over the years. They are tricky, especially because there's a good chance of getting pee'd on!
October 23, 201510 yr 2nd tip..... No pretending to be asleep at 3o clock in the morning.....we know....
October 23, 201510 yr Accept other's help and put them to work - washing the dishes, run a load of laundry, scrub the floors, run errands, etc.
