Happy New Year everyone!

Dloui how is that little baby boy treating you?

[Flava]

[dloui128]

Sorry girls I will post some pics once my girls go back to school and I can get a minute to myself.

Dloui, He is so gorgeous you must be over the moon with him. I wish I knew you in RL, I would be straight over for cuddles.

At the min I am waiting for my SIL to get out of hospital. She went into labour NYE and had a baby girl by emergency C-section at 1.20 on the 1/1/13, all OK now. She was so sure she was having a boy, but with everything I now know about swaying I was quietly convinced that a girl was on the way. We also had an engagement in the family over the christmas. So with telling friends and extended family our news too, it was both a quiet (partying wise) and exciting Christmas and NY's in our household.

[ELP]

Dloui he is absolutely beautiful:HH::HH: You must be so in love with that little face:kiss::bigsmile: Enjoy every second of him xxxxxx

[ELP]

Hi ELP I have a scan with my Ob on Friday. I will be 14+4 so I an going to ask him if he can tell. Otherwise I am waiting until almost the end of Feb.

[luvalittleman]

Blue crew grads, I have a neurotic question....
I didn't agonize over the testing stage (actually only tested at about 25DPO as I was lucky to have strong preg symptoms super early) but it's killing me to know whether my blue sway has been successful or not.
I have three girls who are the loves of my life and if I did it all again I would want every one of them but this time I want a boy so very much.
So the silly question is...did anyone have any indications that their boy sway was successful before their scan? Any little symptoms, cravings, new aches, twinges, hairs, hungers, etc... that in hindsight you can now say, of course I should have known it was a boy. (See I warned you it was going to be a neurotic question).
My husband says he's never seen me so tired and my nipples are unbelievably sore (both different symptoms for me). I did convince myself last pregnancy is was a boy because I was so hungry all the time and she was all girl though so I know this proves nothing. Sigh...I hate waiting.

[Princess of Pink]

Awwwe Dloui he is adorable!! You are lucky you live so far away or I may just sneak in and steal him :giggle:

The thing that was so different for me was the constant eating and I had an extremely short fuse

[Cinss]

Cool name Dloui i love it!

luvalittleman i found myself eating so so much food and really bad foods like cakes, chips and soft drinks as soon as i got my bfp. I would never normally drink fizzy drinks especially coke and i am craving it everyday. With DD i was so healthy through my pregnancy so that was different. Also this time my boobs got big fast and really sore nipples, and the pimples around my jaw line got really really bad. I did the red cabbage test ( i know its just an owt and atomic has debunked it as only a ph test) BUT it was correct for me.

[skrimpy]

luvalittleman my only indication was a pretty strong feeling, and I kept seeing the boy name we'd picked (not a common name) crop up in random places. I also had a couple of dreams that hinted at a little boy. But as far as cravings and things they have tended to be the same for all of my pregnancies and I can't judge based on those -- so I'm not much help!

[skrimpy]

Hi ELP I have a scan with my Ob on Friday. I will be 14+4 so I an going to ask him if he can tell. Otherwise I am waiting until almost the end of Feb.

Pearl you will have to come update us on Friday!

[Pearl327]

Pearl you will have to come update us on Friday!

I really hope I can update you all Skrimpy. I hate waiting and am not a very patient person. I don't even have a gut feeling this time. Only 4 days and 5 hrs to go :nails:

[Flava]

luv-we can have very different symptoms and the same sex baby anyway. But what was very different for me I had dry skin so dry I had red spots on my face .And my hair and nails didn't grow much. But the worst OMG I was so depressed it was really really bad.

Actually that's why I deleted everyone from FB too.I just hope people understand it at least a little. If anyone want to be FB friend again just add me or send me a PM.:hug2:

[minimatron]

Hi girls, I've just spent the past 2 weeks camping. I hope everyone had a great Christmas and new years. I just booked my nt scan for Feb 11.... so very far away. I will be 12+6. That's the latest scan I've had, oh and I usually sneak in an early scan, so I'm doing well this time. My nipples are tender, my areola are huge, I'm putting on more weight than I want to, I'm tired and I look like I'm going through puberty with the pimples I have! I have no idea and will try not to bother guessing what flavour this one is because I'll just upset myself:-) actually I feel more happy this time if I have a girl. I just know that this will be the last, which is good for me coz I was always asking people when would I know if we are finished having kids...
Oh and we need a bigger car.... that's going to be a tough one financially for us. I really need to go to work more often:-) anyone in Australia have any recommendations.... I'll have 4 in car seats. I was thinking a Hyundai imax.
Anyway my littlest lady has just woken up..... I could hear her coming down the stairs singing about ballerinas!

[Cinss]

Flava im so glad you are not feeling so depressed anymore, i know everyone was really worried about you.

Pearl oohh so exciting, i cant wait for the update!

mini we have a ford explorer, its a 7 seater, it does the job ;)

[minimatron]

I never thought of one of those... Off to google. Thanks

[Cinss]

I never thought of one of those... Off to google. Thanks

The imax looks great too.

I was ALWAYS hungry, not sick at all, had terrible acne starting around 11 weeks like I was a teenager( higher testosterone) and had a very quick temper (still do now too!). I knew deep down bc of all these things combined he was a boy! Xx

I thi the acne is a really good sign for a boy, IMO! I had a TON of acne this go around...even on my back, and from what I read, testosterone production in baby boys starts around 10-11 weeks, which is also when I started getting the acne. Not trying to get your hopes up too much, but just telling you that was one of the big reasons I felt this was boy before I had my u/s :).

[begonia]

Haven't been on in ages but Yahmama, congrats on the baby boy :)

And Dloui, I missed the whole birth thing but can see you've had your precious little one ... congrats :awe: Honestly, I can't fathom what you all are experiencing but I imagine it to be pretty grand. xoxo :kiss:

[Flava]

Hey begonia! Where is that baby pic? I love to see some :bigsmile: How do you do?
Unfortunately not much goin on here...I have 5 kids and have to hold baby a lot so almost zero time and still can log on for a couple min. so no clue where is everyone else.
Im waiting for a baby news from elp lol

[luvalittleman]

Hey everyone.
I think I'm growing a whopper of a baby this time...
Was lying down in bed last night and had a poke around my abdomen. Well I can already feel my uterus above my pubic bone and I am still a few days shy of 8 weeks. Given my last daughter was 9 pound 2 and caused 3rd degree tearing, it has me a little nervous, ha ha. Am dying of envy to all you clever ladies that successfully swayed blue...can't wait to find out if my last baby will indeed be a little boy. This waiting is so hard.
I wish there were symptoms that actually could tell you but to be honest, I've got enough friends that will swear you are more sick with a boy/girl, get more acne with a boy/girl, etc... that there really is no way.

[Flava]

luv-let's hope this baby will be smaller! When do you get a u/s?

[Pearl327]

Wow. That is a whopper of a baby luvalittleman. I am aiming for a VBAC here so don't be scaring me with talk of 3rd degree tears. Fingers crossed that you don't have a baby giant growing in there :)

[Annita2003]

Anyone here pregnant with a tilted or retroverted uterus?

I'm 6 weeks and 4 days preg and was told that I have a tilted uterus ....I'm pretty scared....anyone has any suggestions?

[dloui128]

I have a tilted uterus and never had any problems my dr said its pretty common

[dloui128]

Hey girls how's everyone doing? West is great, he's been sleeping through the night the last couple nights so I'm hoping it stays that way. Hobber how is Sawyer feeling? Did the tamiflu help? Flava how's Benjamin?

Elp where are you?

Here is a new pic, DH says I'm going to make him a mama's boy, I was like damn straight! Lol


8314

[Pearl327]

Gorgeous pic Dloui. It is great when they start sleeping through the night early too. Hopefully I have a lil boy like West on order.

I am still waiting to find out gender as DH missed the last scan so this day 4 weeks i will know for sure. I have started feeling movement too which is fantastic.

And I second ELP where are you ?

[Flava]

dloui-great pic ! You look so good and west is so cute ! So his hair stand up like that all the time? On the other pics i thought it was just made that way.

Benjamin is good good but still spitting up a lot.

[dloui128]

Thanks Flava
His hair stands up on its own, all my kids had the same exact hair :)
Is there anything you can give him for the reflux?

[Hobbermittens]

Oh my goodness Dloui, that is a great picture! The two of you are gorgeous! ANd yes yes YES, make him a mama's boy!!

Sawyer is okay. He is still coughing and had a hard night last night, wanted to be held all night, so I slept sitting up. I have the flu too now (even though I had a shot!).

[dloui128]

The flu sucks, my household hasn't had the flu but my girls have had everything else, and West got a stuffy nose :( I am so over all this sickness it's driving me insane!

[Hobbermittens]

Anyone here pregnant with a tilted or retroverted uterus?

I'm 6 weeks and 4 days preg and was told that I have a tilted uterus ....I'm pretty scared....anyone has any suggestions?
I have a tilted uterus. Never had trouble with any pregnancy because of it. I think it is pretty common!

[Hobbermittens]

The flu sucks, my household hasn't had the flu but my girls have had everything else, and West got a stuffy nose :( I am so over all this sickness it's driving me insane!

All kinds of crap is going around right now. Horrible! Hope your house stays flu-free!

Is there anything you can give him for the reflux?

I find that so interesting with the hair! My kids had the same hair too but just the regular baby look you know not to much short hair , not bald.
The doc said maybe reflux and add 1 spoon rice cereal in his bottle. Did not tried yet ...not sure if it comes out of the bottle easy or not? And really 1 spoon in 4 oz would make a difference ?
Anyway problem is he spits up BM the most not so much the formula no clue why. Can't put rice cereal in there lol

I would think if he had reflux it is still gonna come up even if you put rice cereal in there, the stuff he spits up would just be thicker

dloui that picture is just beautiful....stunning mumma and handsome little man!

[dloui128]

Thanks hon :)

dloui that picture is just beautiful....stunning mumma and handsome little man!
I agree :)

[dloui128]

I agree :)

Thanks hon

How are you feeling?

[Princess of Pink]

I know I am soooo jumping ahead of myself here but.....did anyone continue the exercise/strength/weight training after BFP and through pregnancy and beyond? I couldn't stop thinking about this while on the treadmill killing myself this morning, I actually like how this exercise is making me feel and I think I might want to continue it on forever??? I have never exercised before in my life, well at a gym, everyday kind of thing anyway!!

[dloui128]

I did until I was 4 months, I had to stop because of spotting issues

[Princess of Pink]

Do you feel it helped your pregnancy or birth be physically easier? Will you go back to it again or you happy back in your old lifestyle? I would stop too if I had spotting issues!!

[dloui128]

Do you feel it helped your pregnancy or birth be physically easier? Will you go back to it again or you happy back in your old lifestyle? I would stop too if I had spotting issues!!

Well it was my fastest labor ever, one push and he was out!
I am definitely going back, probably in march

[Princess of Pink]

Way to go!! OK it's a plan then, stick to it as long as I can and continue after baby is born!! Thanks hon x

[Cinss]

Thanks hon

How are you feeling?

Im feeling good with my pregnancy, i feel the baby moving lots now and get braxton hicks a lot, i eat lots of junky foods though and soft drink where i never used to drink it, ive put on 7kgs so far, everything is pretty normal. I have been under a fair amount of stress though with other things going on in my life atm, so i have been crying a lot and i feel really guilty for letting the stress get to me because i am pregnant, i know its not good for the baby but i can help it, i feel like my whole world is crashing down around me and it now seems that the timing of this baby couldn't be worse :(

POP i stopped the weights and 30 day shred dvds when i got my bfp, i continued walking for a while but just tapered off gradually because i was extreemly tired in the first few months. Just doing the grocery shopping would exhaust me and i would have to come home and nap :giggle:

[dloui128]

Cinss I'm so sorry to hear that your under a lot of stress. When I was pregnant I was an emotional mess, stressed all the time and my temper was unreal!! I would pick fights with everyone. I loved junk food and soda which is probably why I gained 55lbs! I still have about 14 more lbs to lose so hopefully when I go back to the gym it will come off. I hope things settle down for you and you can relax instead of being stressed, pregnancy is hard enough as it is without any added stress :hugs:

[Princess of Pink]

Oh Cinss I am so sorry you are super stressed at the moment and feeling upset/down. {{{BIG HUGS}}} Is there anything I could help you out with? Relax and enjoy your little man and don't let anyone else stress you or bring you down. You deserve this pregnancy!!

[Hobbermittens]

Cinss, can you get a massage or something? Feeling stressed during pregnancy is awful. :(

[skrimpy]

Hi gals, our little man is here!! Arrived on his due date of the 24th! Awesome birth at home in the birthing tub. Love him to bits!!! We had to run to L&D yesterday for a Rhogam shot (he is Rh+) so I'm wiped out from that, but otherwise we are doing great!

He's fussing to nurse so more later. He was 8lbs 12oz, 22in long and has tons of hair!!

Congratulations Skrimpy!! He is beautiful :)

[Butterfly Spirit]

He's beautiful Skrimpy! :)

[Butterfly Spirit]

Cinss, I am so sorry that you are stressing out about things. Those stupid crazy hormones! I've also been on a roller coaster.. pregnancy it's just a personal experience and even two of ours aren't the same. As soon as I got pregnant I was terrified, surprised..scared.. "What have I done.." and then later on feeling excited, yet guilty and all these other emotions.
You and I were lucky enough to get our dream but we still are affected by those crazy hormones! Even as I transition from 2 kids to 3.. from boys to a girl.. it still feels foreign to me. As I was washing all the clothes she was going to wear and actually having to make sure that the pants match with the appropriate top, and how much extra laundry I'm going to have..I started to feel overwhelmed as reality set in once again.
Don't beat yourself up for your emotions hon. They are normal. And trust me, your pregnancy will FLY by! Enjoy it, cherish it. I don't know if it's your last, but this one is mine. I am VERY sad about it, and every time I turn on the camcorder she stops moving.. I'm trying to capture what I can and I really have nothing.

I know you are going to be okay, Cinss.. and when that little man comes, you will be SO in love, with a bond that is so wonderful and sweet and indescribable and only comes from a mommy and a son. :)

I hope that you feel much better soon!! Xx

[Cinss]

Skrimpy Congratulations :) He is so beautiful !

Thanks everyone for the support, i am really enjoying being pregnant, i love it so much! The situation i am in is just really bad and there is nothing i can do to fix it. DP made a huge mistake over xmas and got locked up for a few days which absolutely rocked my world i couldnt eat or sleep just cry because what he did was not good and thank god he is out on bail now, but he has court again in March and i think he will have to spend time in jail :tissue: So i dont even know if he will be with me for the birth of our son :( And he is just going to miss out on so much and i will be all alone with my kids, ontop of that we are now worried about others that were involved in that mess and have to move house which is a big stress too. I just want to wake up from this nightmare :(

[Princess of Pink]

Congrats skrimpy he is beautiful!!

I am so sorry Cinss, that sounds really difficult and I would be super stressed in that situation too! I hope things brighten up for you and he can be there for the birth of your little man!!

[dloui128]

Oh Cinss I am so sorry you have to go through something like that, it sounds extremely stressful. Hopefully everything works out and you won't be alone when your little man is born. We are here for you :hugs: I wish we lived near each other I would wrap you up in a huge hug right now

[Butterfly Spirit]

Oh Cinss, I am so sorry hon. I had no idea! :(

Hopefully he will be out for the birth of your son.

[Lassie1982]

Oh goodness Cinns this just caught my eye as I skimmed through the unread posts.

I'm so sorry Hun that you are going through what you are going through :(
I can't even begin to imagine. I hope you have a family and friends in real life to help you through.
Your little boy is going to be your shinning light through all this, and as hard as these times are at the moment they are only going to make you and your family so so so much stronger.
You strike me as a very resilient and determined women and I'm sure that in a few years time you will all look back on this trying and difficult time and think 'wow, look what we got through'
Don't hesitate to reach out to those of us here in the net or via Facebook, I know myself that sometimes just ranting to an anonymous face can make all the difference.

I hope things start picking up for you soon and that Dp doesn't have to go back inside. Always hope for the best, I'm hoping hard for you too! They do tend to be on the lenient side here when it comes to sentencing, especially for one offs and first offences, so with any luck he'll get a community service or a suspended sentence and you won't have to be without him at all.

Stay strong, this too WILL pass, and no matter how dark the night, the dawn will always break :)

Sending you lots of xo xo

[Pearl327]

Oh Cinss. I am so sorry you are going through all this. I know it can be hard but try to think as positively as possible until the sentancing comes in March, at the moment it is all up in the air and you could try and believe in the best possible outcome. Can you postpone the house move until things settle down. Hugs.

[Cinss]

Thanks everyone i feel much better just having gotten it off my chest, i am really really just hoping for a positive outcome. I dont want to be a downer on the board, and i am so greatful i still have you ladies to share the good stuff with, all these pregnancies and babies do make me feel better :) Life does go on.

[Flava]

skrimpy-congrats he is so cute with that chubby cheeks! big baby! I want to see all that hair :-)

[Flava]

cinss-Im sorry you are having a hard time. Hopefully your DP didn't do something so bad that he have to spend time in jail.
If the moving is over just try to relax as much as you can .What ever happened is done can't change it now, right?
I know pregnancy can be so hard I had a very bad time. And now that baby is here is just so hard because Im all alone with no help and is just to much with 5 kids and baby want's to be held a lot ect. Some days I just cry...what else can I do ?
So just take it easy like you can and rest a lot before baby is here!

[Hobbermittens]

Skrimpy, I just saw this--I had been thinking about you and wondering when you would have him! Is his name Corwin? I love that! Congrats! He is beautiful! And a big boy!

[luvalittleman]

Wow. That is a whopper of a baby luvalittleman. I am aiming for a VBAC here so don't be scaring me with talk of 3rd degree tears. Fingers crossed that you don't have a baby giant growing in there :)

Sorry it's taken so long to respond. Storms last weekend slowed us down for a while.
Pearl, I had a Vbac with my last daughter!! It was awesome and amazing so have my fingers crossed for you.
The reason I tore so badly also was because DD1 was an induced posterior delivery (8 pound 8) and they had to do an episiotomy to get her out. They say tearing is always worse after one of those. DD2 was Frank Breech and 8 pound 8 (57cm long!!) and a week early by caesarian. It was very liberating to have a completely natural labour and birth and I did it with no drugs! (ouch).
Flava, I have my nuchal and cvs in 2 weeks today!!! Am so nervous and feel like time has virtually stopped. I have a question for you....did you have any different cravings with your son than with the 4 girls? Actually, anyone with a boy and lots of girls can answer this. I am going crazy fro meat (in particualr big macs which I would NEVER eat but now fantasize about). I actually ate a leftover chop for breakfast!!!!!!! I am normally a sultana bran and low fat yoghurt girl so this is freaking me out.

[luvalittleman]

I know I am soooo jumping ahead of myself here but.....did anyone continue the exercise/strength/weight training after BFP and through pregnancy and beyond? I couldn't stop thinking about this while on the treadmill killing myself this morning, I actually like how this exercise is making me feel and I think I might want to continue it on forever??? I have never exercised before in my life, well at a gym, everyday kind of thing anyway!!

POP, I have exercised all through my previous 3 pregnancies and have only put on minimum weight and maintained good energy. Despite being an older Mum (32, 34 and 36) I always found that I only had 3 KG's to lose after the initial 6 weeks post baby and that came off quickly once I started walking regularly with the baby. If you are enjoying it, it will be doing wonderful things for you. Keep going!

[Flava]

luv-I also wanted to eat burgers early in the pregnancy (and I almost never eat burgers) and eat more meat later in too. And lot's of apples all the time ! Like 2-3 /day. Did not do that with the girls. I wanted fruit salad with DD2 and grapefruit with DD4 but no apple with any of them. so who knows ? Hopefully it's your boy!

[skrimpy]

Skrimpy, I just saw this--I had been thinking about you and wondering when you would have him! Is his name Corwin? I love that! Congrats! He is beautiful! And a big boy!

Yep, he's Corwin <3 I love him so much, he is the sweetest baby! He is a little chunk, too. I still feel amazed to have him!

Did not do that with the girls. I wanted fruit salad with DD2 and grapefruit with DD4 but no apple with any of them. so who knows ? Hopefully it's your boy!

Flava, did you get any morning sickness with baby boy?
I never had it with the girls (slight between weeks 9-12) but am getting it badly every afternoon and evening with this one and have been for about 8 weeks now. Have also needed a nap every day pretty much since I fell pregnant. Were you any more tired or hungry last time around?

[dloui128]

I was definitely hungrier I ate all the time! For the first 12 weeks I was so nauseous every night, I never threw up but I felt like it, and I had a bad temper, all these things were so different for me from my girl pregnancies

[Flava]

I got m/s with my boy but also with 3 of my girls. And i was very sleepy to had to take naps a lot. But I had low iron maybe that's why? I always have low iron...I don't think I was hungrier this time but I was the biggest because of the HE diet.

[Cinss]

I didnt have ms at all with DD i got it mildly with this one, especially if i would get hungry, hence eat all the time, that went away at about 10 weeks. I got heaps of pimples on my face this time around and napping a lot too.

[luvalittleman]

Sounds like me this time Dloui - you are keeping my hope alive! MS and hunger are the same as you but I am less angry this time, was more quick tempered and less patient with the girls pregnancies. Had another dream last night where someone mentioned the twins room....!! I am sure it's just my subconscious anxiety over twins manifesting into dreams as my psychic ability is notoriously bad. I even considered pretending I've got cramps and going to hospital just to have an ultrasound and check there's just one there but even I am not slack enough to do that to the public hospitals - they are understaffed and overworked as it is. Sigh...am patient with the kids but it seems not this one yet...what are you little bean????

[ELP]

Hello all, hope you are all well :)!! Life is hectic here atm, I have had DH home for aaages due to the weather, self employed! And last week I had 7 of them with gastro, sick bowls everywhere:rolleyes: I think?? I am in the 2ww, can you believe that! Any attempt could have been too late or too early itms, as I had no cm to warn me just a random pain and positive on a opk to go by. We will see:) Daveys great, early walker and climber, his favourite hiding place is on the windowsill behind the curtain which is behind the sofa (windows are key locked) still not 16lb in weight little runt:bigsmile: Catch up soon xxx

Hi ELP. Jeez, is that 5 kids and another on the way? If so you are a superstar.
So what are you hoping for this time and what gender are your children?

[ELP]

No, no:) Thats 7 of the 9 kids lol and 2ww'ing for a hopeful No10 :bigsmile: We currently have 5 pink 4 blue so would love to even it out with a little buddy for Davey. Was you over on IG luv?? I was eightlilpigs over there, hence the shorter ELP here:agree: I will be looking forward to your NT!! I love guessing:) And you need a ticker so we can count down with you!!

[luvalittleman]

Dear God how do you do it???? I was impressed with 5 but 9, and soon 10...you really must be something. I have decided to stop freaking out about 4, I feel slightly ridiculous in comparison.
I only posted once in IG but didn't like the lack of response and felt they were a lot more intense and self involved over there after reading the posts. It appears more laid back here for the most part which suits me better and I developed a soft spot for some of the previous blue swayers by stalking their posts (You, Hobbermittens, Flava, etc..).
As for adding the ticker...I can't even figure out how to add an avatar (tried and failed a couple times) so don't like my chances of getting a ticker up. Am hopeless at anything IT. The other thing is I want to wait until I have had my scan and cvs and know that everything is going to be OK. Am superstitious so besides posting here and feeling like the living dead, I haven't told people or really tried to get too invested in having 1 last beautiful baby just in case. I don't deal with loss well.
I would love to know your secret to the even number of girls and boys...it seems so natural to do it your way and yet I can't seem to produce a son, very frustrating. Have everything crossed I have cracked the code this time and besides, I love Atomic's theory and research - I really respect and admire the concept and effort she has put in and the evidence to back it up. I want it to be right, if that makes sense?
I doubt I will find out the sex next Monday (12 weeks 2 days) and besides, I am likely to get one of those cranky ultrasound technicians who won't look on principle but it would be nice....

[ELP]

Completely understand :) You could always film your scan on your camera, you never know what you might pick up;)

[Cinss]

Luv i have good boy vibes for you... 4th time is the charm ;)

[ELP]

And statistically you natural odds for a boy are highest after 3 girls if I remember rightly!

[luvalittleman]

Oh thank you girls. I really appreciate your positivity and support (feel all weepy - bloody hormones).
I sometimes think that because this pregnancy is so different from the others it just has to be but I guess I'm not the first to hold that hope.
So am 11 weeks today and passed out for 2 hours at lunchtime and nausea still hit me at 4pm as always...sigh... Was kind of hoping it would be gone or at least receding by now. Am feeling confident it will be gone by next weekend and second wind will kick in...am being zombie Mum and poor little girls don't know why. My eldest DD is an angel. She just steps up and helps with DD2 and DD3 if she can see me getting frustrated with them and keeps everything smooth and calm without me even asking. She's the most sensitive and beautiful little soul.
So anyway, enough about me.
How is everyone else feeling tonight?

[ELP]

How are your iron levels luv?? I feel shattered in pregnancy when my iron levels drop, do you have any iron supps around the house you could try??

[Flava]

Just have a little time to jump in here.
ELP where have you been? You need to read back we where looking for you! I was thinking you have no internet or DH is home lol

luv-I sure hope it's your boy! I have 5 kinds now and it's so hard! No clue how elp do this...
But you are lucky your DD1 is so helpful ! Omg my girls don't want to do nothing and my DD1 is over 15 !
This days DH works so much comes home after bed time I feel like a single parent and soooo tired.

[ELP]

Just have a little time to jump in here.

:bigsmile::wave: You had it spot on Flava! We have had rain and snow in the UK for flippin weeks, plus DH has developed Gout of all things so I have had him laid up with the big toe from hell:rolleyes: Hopefully the weather should start improving over here soon and I can sneak on a bit more!:agree: I'm gonna go and read back now:bigsmile: btw, laza have you posted any pics lately?? I would love to see your little man again and everyone elses little people xxxx

[ELP]

Just had a quick read back, Cinss are you ok? Just hitting 3rd tri so this should be a time or being excited not worried. Whats happening with the move??

Flava, how are you?? I just read that you are having down days sometimes:( Are you still b/f? I ask because, are you still taking any supps? I have found the vit D to be a great help, plus I absolutely swear by bee pollen but it did give my f/t b/f babies orange poo so it was going through to them, and I dont know if it added to the start of Daves reflux? Now dont get me wrong people, I don't drink, smoke or take drugs but bee pollen has been referred to as natures amphetamine! I think its because of the high amount of B vits and good stuff in it, and I can honestly say that when I am taking it daily my mood is 50x better than what it would be. Plus I am also having similar effects/feelings about a greens powder I have started taking daily. Its one of those complete mixes with all the grasses and added extras, they give me a noticable lift in mood and physical energy. Maybe look into adding these things in to your day, see if they help you too:agree:

[Cinss]

Just had a quick read back, Cinss are you ok? Just hitting 3rd tri so this should be a time or being excited not worried. Whats happening with the move??

I am ok, well doing the best i can, i am still pretty emotional about everything especially when i talk to my parents and they start to cry, its really stressful we have to sell our house now and we just weren't ready, some of our renovations are not complete and we haven't had certification for any of it and the market is down at the moment so we stand to lose a lot of money but we cant really see another option. I have been cleaning everyday and it gets painful for my back and im having braxton hicks so bad it just sucks, all i want to do is enjoy my pregnancy and there are moments in the day where i do forget about problems and focus on my baby and it makes me happy. I have to go have the glucose test thing sometime next week.

[luvalittleman]

Hi Cinss.
Am so sorry you are having a tough time of it. With the house issue, are you able to rent out the house until things improve? The rental market is strong at the moment. Sorry you are having such a stressful time. You're such a good support to so many people on this forum and you deserve good things in return. I hope things get better soon. :bighug:

[Flava]

ELP- So you saing baby David is 10 months and already walking? wow that's cool. Sorry your DH and kids where sick.Hope things are better now!
My baby will be 3 months this week and doing nothing lol he can grab some toys now and his hands together. I checked 2 days ago he is 13.15lbs no wonder my back hurts...
I just stoped BF yesterday but it's so sad we did it one time again today. Only there is just nothing left.he don't care just I do ... Also funny he always burp back up the BM but not the formula ,I don't know why.
The bee pollen is for what??
I have some sad days because it's just hard to do alone with 5 kids. (no clue what you do sorry)

I also started workout dvd yesterday and omg everything hurts today! Now I just need to find time somehow to do it every day. I walk too when I can and got some ankle weight hopefully it helps more because my legs are just so week and fat lol. Must loose weight becaue I just can't stay like this .It makes me sad too.

Oh and good luck in the 2ww!

[Flava]

Cinss-I wish thimes where easier for you! Why do you have to sell your house? I hope someone buy it fast so you can get things ready for baby at the new place. XX

[minimatron]

Hi girls. I have been mia as I didn't want to come on til after my scan. Well I had it yesterday at 12w 6d. Baby was non cooperative and was hiding under my hip bone. It wouldn't lay flat so I couldn't get a good view of the nub. The only thing the lady said to me is that she doesn't usually tell gender at this age, but it had a substantial protrusion between its legs. Well I could make anything of that! I'm trying to be as relaxed as I can. Dh told me he was really hoping to see a boy. I didn't think that it was such an issue, but he said he was happy to stop at 3, so he's hoping the effort we put in has done the trick. My next scan is not until April 8th. I'll be 21 weeks. I have a retroverted uterus so she wanted a later scan in order to see better. After 3 kids, this is the first time anyone has told me about my uterus.!
Hugs cinns and flava, your boy is beautiful

[The Anchor]

Heavens flava his is a DOLL. And the blue eyes! You lucky lady :)

[dloui128]

Oh Flava your little boy is so handsome !

[Cinss]

Flava your Son is such a handsome little guy! I just love seeing the little boy pics, it makes me so clucky and impatient to meet my little one :)

We did think about renting our place but we wouldn't get enough in rent to cover the mortgage payments so we would have to chip in the extra each week and we just couldn't afford to do it plus pay for our own place. Its breaking my heart, i love this house there are so many great memories here, this is where DD had grown up and we have put in so much work to make it nice and exactly what we want, but now due to the circumstances surrounding DP its just not safe to stay. I am trying to look at it in a positive way like a fresh start and all that, the unknown is just scary. We have been advised to move quite far from here and that means losing close contact with all of my friends and family, DP will need to find a new job so its all happening right before baby is due, its the worst timing ever, but thank goodness for the internet, its probably the only stable thing in my life right now.

Oh its totally a boy, same thing happened at my 12 week scan, well he wasn't hiding but the tech was really sure the large protrusion between the legs was really really obviously a boy.

[ELP]

Flava!! He is absolutely gooorgeous!! Thats the thing with little boys, we just cannot help but spoil them rotten:bigsmile: gtg but had to post xxxx

[Hobbermittens]

Flava, he is so cute! And getting so big already!

ELP, I'm sorry your DH has the gout.... I have had that too, and it hurts! And how are you feeling? WHen do you test?

Cinss, why are you having to sell your house? Are things any better with the situation with your DH? I hope things settle down before the baby comes.

[Cinss]

Cinss, why are you having to sell your house? Are things any better with the situation with your DH? I hope things settle down before the baby comes.

DP was involved in a crime :mad: So he has to appear in court in March and there is a chance he will go to jail, we have been told that sentencing wont happen then it will be adjourned so at least he will be with me for the birth of our son, but in the mean time we have to make arrangements so that i will be able to support myself if he goes away and the situation has become a bit nasty with the other people involved and even though we dont feel threatened badly right now, that can all change so to be on the safe side we dont want anyone to know where we live. I never saw this coming i would never have thought this would happen to us, it has really opened my eyes to how life can take you in a completely different direction just because of 1 mistake.

[ELP]

Hobber:) how are you!! and your chunky little man getting on?? I am feeling not pg but its probably too early to tell atm either way! I have 1 of the tests left which I picked Davey up early on. I dont eve know what dpo I am lol, maybe 9?? I might do it in a minute just to get it out of the way, then it will become a real waiting game!!

[ELP]

Cinss, things sound so stressful for you all:( When I was carrying dc1 my dh got in a fight an ended up through the courts, it kept being adjourned until he finally got a not guilty when she was about 3 months old, it just sits there at the back of your mind and the hormones dont help:)I think if I hadnt of been pg at the time I would have been a bit more 'serves you right' with him instead of heart broken. Hopefully he'll get a not guilty aswell xxxx

[ELP]

Flava, its sad when we have that last b/f isn't it:( Daves the same, he would only sick my milk not formula which made me feel guilty, luckily with the food in his belly he can take my milk better now, DD5 just turned away from the boob at 3 months and would only take my milk from the bottle I think it was for the instant faster flow and she eats like a man now at 2!!!
The bee pollen for me is a daily burst of energy, its full of vitamins and minerals and gives me a mental and physical lift, its worth a try but you shouldnt take it if you have bee allergies and should be aware that there id a chance of developing an allergy.
And yes Dave is fully on his feet! He took his 1st steps at 8 months 3 weeks, not my earliest walker even lol, sorry proud mummy bit there. I'll add a little vid of him just after xmas, he was about 9 m 1w, please excuse the silly baby voice.:oops: He so scrawny he just looks likexa wlking head:rofl:
Davey walking :) (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqIp...e_gdata_player)

[luvalittleman]

Flava, your little boy is beautiful! So very cute.
ELP, have wondered about continuing with the Bee Pollen after birth. Just wish I could take it now for energy...sigh...
OK, so I have a question for you mums of many. My boobs are massive! OK, they're not massive in terms of normal people but they are big for me. Like I have gone from a B cup to a D in the first trimester.
I have never had this happen with any of my previous pregnancies early. Later on when I'd put on 12 KG's and was ready to pop or my milk came in but even then, my largest bra was only a large C. And I haven't put on masses of weight. I've put on about 3 Kg's. But they are quite solid inside too, not just fat if that makes sense?
Did anyone have this happen with just one of their pregnancies? It seems very strange to happen on my 4th pregnancy. Anyone have any thoughts?

[Hobbermittens]

ELP, I can't see the video!!

Luv, my boobs are huge always, and they seem to be huger this time than ever before (I went up to an E!)

[Hobbermittens]

I never saw this coming i would never have thought this would happen to us, it has really opened my eyes to how life can take you in a completely different direction just because of 1 mistake.

Oh Cinss, I am so sorry. I remember you saying something in another post about jail, but I didn't realize how serious the situation was. I wish you could enjoy your pregnancy and your baby without having to deal with this! How awful for you and your family. :( I think if moving to a new location will help keep everyone safe, then that is what you must do. Try to find a new house that you love, so you can build new memories there.

[Hobbermittens]

Hobber:) how are you!! and your chunky little man getting on?? I am feeling not pg but its probably too early to tell atm either way! I have 1 of the tests left which I picked Davey up early on. I dont eve know what dpo I am lol, maybe 9?? I might do it in a minute just to get it out of the way, then it will become a real waiting game!!

I am so excited for you. I wish I had the energy to have more babies but 4 has been kind of hard!

Sawyer is doing pretty well and getting big! It is making me sad that he is already 4 months. I feel like he is growing up so fast!

[Flava]

Thank for the nice words ladies! :bigsmile: I also think my baby is so cute but of course to each their own , right?
we all think our baby is the cutest and it's good that way! yeah he got blue eyes and Im so hoping it will stay this way.
Only me and DD4 have blue eyes. And she is mommas girl and so sweet! I will post a pic in a sec to show off lol.

Well I just can't give up the BF yet...it's so sad I cried .There is almost nothing there but he is not turning away he tries every time! My sweet baby. So I said until he is willing to I do what I can.
I just don't know what else to try to have more milk! Any idea ladies????? Im taking fenugreek now but not doing much at all.

ELP-I can't see the video it says this video does not exist! I would love to see it. My kids all started walking alone around 1 year old. But they where all chubby lol.

[dloui128]

Flava your DD is beautiful, my DD1 has big brown eyes and DD2 has blue eyes, West's eyes look different everyday but I think they will end up being hazel like mine. I will have to post some new pics and some of my girls

[The Anchor]

O. M. G. Flava your family is gorgeous.

[luvalittleman]

Flava, she is drop dead beautiful!! What a stunner.
I wish the other mums that are worried about GD could read your comments and see your pics...I know she was a failed boy sway but thank goodness she was hey?

With regards to the breastfeeding thing - I also had various troubles along the way with each DD but got better at getting over the hurdles and ended up BF DD3 for a year (huge triumph).
OK so here's what I learnt :
Sometimes around 3 or 4 months your hormone's can readjust so your oestrogen/progesterone levels change. This can affect your milk supply and the taste of the milk.
If you are mixing bottle and breast, try and reduce the bottle to one only in the evening until your breast milk supply increases.
To increase your supply, give it a solid two weeks of drinking more water, putting baby on the breast on demand but ensuring they drink enough to drain the breast. Don't offer the other breast until the first one is empty. This is important and seriously works.
If you don't think the fenugreek is working (and have been trying for more than 10 days) you can speak to your local health food store and maybe try blessed thistle or something else. The blessed thistle is what worked for me and also putting baby on the boob every two hours (drain one remember) for 4 days straight. Just about killed me but it seriously worked and as I said I went on to feed her for a year when I never got past 4 months with the first two.
Best of luck.

[ELP]

Flava she is gonna be a heartbreaker!!!!

Something I noticed that increased my milk supply unexpectedly was the mixed greens powder I started on?? I have been taking it for about 6 weeks and after a few days I noticed feeling that ache in my boobs from milk let down! I wasn't expecting that at all, and I dont know which of the ingredients it was? The type I am taking was a discounted discontinued line but I'm pretty sure that a similar good mix might help. I will be trying maybe progreens or the vibrant health brands. They are quite expensive but the one I'm using I can vouch has definate overall effects. Hopefully something similar may boost your output too! I use a site called iherb because they have cheap uk delivery but there may be a cheaper site for US customers:agree:

[ELP]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqIpc-bDCo8&feature=youtube_gdata_player

My 1st link didn't work for me either??? I wonder why lol!! Lets see if this one works :)

[Flava]

WOW ELP David is so cute! OMG!!! I don't think I ever saw a tiny baby like him walking it's just super cute ! And he is so happy the whole time lol Is that you on the video?Im jealous you look so good !
I have this 30 shred dvd only doing it for 3 days and of course did not loose a damn oz but everything hurts! It's hard to do.
Even though there is almost no milk I still not loosing weight ggggrrrrr

[Flava]

Oh yeah thanks everyone for the comments about my DD ! Im sure happy she is a girl! DD3 was a boy sway too but I would not change her either! :HH:

luv-About the BF I can't not give a bottle or he would he starving and Im not doing that. I would be happy if I only have to give a bottle at night but it's not like that. There is really no milk here. I tried to pump to see how much and got like a half oz.And that's from both side together.
Just started the fenugeek again so well see if it helps. Don't know what is blessed thistle I will check it out. And try to drink more .Im bad at that...thanks !

[Flava]

ELP- now just what is the name of the green powder? And can we take in capsules ? I hate powders LOL I would also try this. I try anything lol even if I stay fat longer which I hate but whatever!
Im also just got sick with a cold or something feeling like crap so that's not help for sure.

[luvalittleman]

Flava, do you have lactation consultants that work from public clinics over there? We do in Australia so you can speak to someone to help with breastfeeding issues if you are having problems. Maybe try and check it out on google or at where you take baby for checks?

[Hobbermittens]

Flava, your DD is beautiful! :) I wish I had advice about increasing milk supply. I hope you find some answers.

ELP, I love the video of Davey walking! So cute!! :) My DD2 (2 years old) was watching it with me (she asked to watch it 4 times) and she kept asking if it was a video of me and Sawyer, which was funny, since Sawyer isn't walking yet, and you have a British accent and I don't. I guess kids don't notice accents much, though--my kids have al gone through a Wiggles phase, and I mentioned to one of them about the Wiggles being from Australia, and the kids asked how I knew, and I said I could tell by their accents, but the kids hadn't noticed their accents at all.

Do you want 10 babies or more?

[ELP]

Flava, surely I can tempt you with just one more, pleeeeease:bigsmile: And I can honestly say i don't have an end figure in my head for babies:) I seriously do think its some kind of addiction, but I see it as a good one so I'll keep at it til they stop me:bigsmile:

I think she meant stacked like something on top of another so in your case it would be scrotum with penis on top

[minimatron]

Thanks dloui....

[luvalittleman]

COngrats ELP!!!!! You need to change your user name one of these days.... 10LP:)

I think she should change it to 2SOAD. (2 Short Of A Dozen).
Congrats ELP!!

[ELP]

I think she meant stacked like something on top of another so in your case it would be scrotum with penis on top

THats it exactly, thanks dloui:agree:

[ELP]

Thankyou ladies, I'm still quite secretly excited:) I do keep considering a name change lol, but I think ELP is just nice and simple isn't it:) I had a bit of blood last night but none this morning, so I will still be waiting this one out as long as possible before telling irl. My sway was ?? relaxed shall we say, but another lady would be a beautiful addition to the clan:)

Sorry but no way no how! Im already way over my limits here so so tired of it.and not just that but place, money ect. We don't have a big house and lots of money , but even if we would I don't want another baby. It's kinda sad that it's over because I love babys but it's just to much for me.
I wonder how is your regular day look like?

[ELP]

Pearl!!!!! Just looking in to another thread and saw your scan is tomorrow!!! Best of luck:luck: Did you post nub pics?? Give them a quick bump for me if you could just incase I havent guessed yet!!!!

I found your pics Pearl, even though early I reckon your nub was quite stumpy so I'm guessing boy!!! What time are you in??

[Pearl327]

Hi ELP. I am in at 9:40am so not to long to wait now. I hope I can sleep tonight. I am going shopping after the scan to buy a cute little pink or blue going home outfit as I am off work this week for a mid pregnancy break.

[ELP]

9.40!! I'm uk time so I'll be watching the clock with you:bigsmile: How exciting!!!!!

[Pearl327]

You are good at the nub guessing ELP. :)

[Flava]

Pearl good luck to you today!

Some1 here posted she used my sway (and others) to help her sway I just don't remember who was it? Well I hope she gets a boy too .It's nice to know we helped others get the dream gender.

[Pearl327]

Thanks Flava. I still think I am in a bit of shock from hearing boy. I never thought my sway would work 1st time around.

[Hobbermittens]

Congrats Pearl!!

[Cinss]

Thanks Flava. I still think I am in a bit of shock from hearing boy. I never thought my sway would work 1st time around.

I know the feeling its so wonderful, My DP said he felt like he won the lotto :)

[ELP]

Pearl!!!! That is fantastic news:bluecheer::bluecheer: He is gonna be gorgeoooous congratulations :bigsmile:xxxxxx

[Butterfly Spirit]

Thanks Flava. I still think I am in a bit of shock from hearing boy. I never thought my sway would work 1st time around.

[minimatron]

Congratulations pearl x

Girls, I popped another ultrasound shot of a close up of the nub which I found in my DVD. Could you take a look and tell me what you think? Obsessing a little now...

[Pearl327]

Thanks mini. You are getting a lot of boy guesses, it looks like congratulations are in order for you too. I cannot guess. I am useless. The Tech on wed said to us I hope you wanted to find out because it is very obvious what you are having. Myself and DH just looked at each other totally clueless.

[minimatron]

Lol pearl... That's too funny.
I'm really nervous with all those guesses. With dd3 I had a lot of boy guesses on in gender and I really set myself up for a fall and I was shattered at the scan. It looks boyish to me but...I guess I won't know until April 8th...if we find out. I've never had a surprise and I am thinking it would be lovely to have one. I mean I've come to terms with having a girl so I think it will be ok...

[minimatron]

[Flava]

OMG! I was just looking back on this thread who is missing for a long time and saw LOLA has a pregnancy ticker!!!!!!!!!!!!

lola that's so awesome !!! Im really happy for you :running::bigsmile:
You have to post about it here .

[ELP]

I know Flava, great isn't it:bigsmile: Shes in my October Due date group and has had a scan and seen her little bean wriggling and jiggling happily away :HH:

[ELP]

How are you Flava??Did you manage to keep the b/f going?? I think I figured out which ingrediant in the greens powder increased my milk, alfalfa! Apparantly it helps with milk production:agree:

[Flava]

October huh? I wanted a baby in October but he came on my BD so all good lol. No more BF it makes me very sad and I cry but there was just no more milk. I tried this blessed thistle too but no help just lot's of gas for poor baby.

And where is Jen? Her baby already had a birthday! Would have been nice to see some pics!

[Flava]

Oh yeah and FABULOUS I miss her too!

ehh g2g DD4 spilled some drink...nice

[Tink18]

Hi ladies!! Been a minute since I've been on. My mom is very ill. Diagnosed with stage 4 luncg cancer spread all over. I've been devastated. She probably doesn't have long and I'm not coping well at all.

Zane is already 9 months. Happiest baby ever. Makes life so much more bearable. My life is so beautiful and I should be so happy but I'm so sad thinking about my mom.

How is everyone ? I'm sure there are lots of new people too

[Hobbermittens]

Hi Tink! Good to see you! So sorry about your mom. That's awful! I am glad Zane is a wonderful baby. Hugs to you.

[ELP]

Tink, so sorry to hear about your mum:( I'm glad little Zane is such a good boy for you all, he must be a great comfort xxx

[dloui128]

Im so sorry to hear about your mom Tink

[Pearl327]

Sorry about you mom tink.

[Pearl327]

Mini. Your 20 week scan must be coming up soon. Let us know when so we can stalk you :)

[minimatron]

Sorry to hear of your mum tink x

Hi... I've been absent again:-) partly because we have been busy, but mainly because I'm so nervous about my scan. Its not for another 12 long days. April 8th at 10am in Australia. Everyone's been bombarding me. My mum made me cranky yesterday with her silly comments, including this one.... oh I can't wait to see what your little boy looks like. I get so mad because again, the pressure is on, the expectations are there. I went into this knowing that I could well have a girl and have accepted it...why can't they? Now all I get is I hope its a boy, it better be a boy, did you try for a boy, imagine having 4 girls. Well get stuffed. The other thing that annoyed me last night was seeing the mil interact with her first grandson who turned one. Everything she does for him is different, special visits, holds him for ages, baby sits....are my children less important because they have vaginas? He's a beautiful boy, but come on. And then I start thinking, if I have a boy, don't think that you can do that to my child...no special nothing . OK rant over, I'll let you know if we see anything. I still would like a surprise, however its killing me so I don't think I could last that long.
Hope you are well x

[Cinss]

I know how you feel minimatron, leading up to the scan is so nerve wracking! Either way is is such a wonderful thing seeing the little baby growing in your belly! We are all here for you no matter what happens :)

[minimatron]

Thanks cinns, I'm really quite nervous. I know its a blessing to have a healti baby and I'm grateful for that. And I can't change what's in there . It's just other people that set me off. I shouldn't listen but I do. I've been watching the high on here that people get when they get their dg, and then I also see the absolute low of failed sways. That scares me. I don't want those emotions again. I want joy and happiness . However I'm really trying to enjoy this pregnancy knowing I'm never ever going to do it again.

[Pearl327]

Oh mini I know how you feel with the pressure that other family members but on us. I had the pressure of DH really wanting a son but telling me that he was happy as long as the baby was healthy. I had my 5 sisters and 6 sisters in law all telling me that they really want me to have a boy, but could not see me being the mother of a son so according to them I was most likely going to have another girl. ( I haven't told my family yet. They know that I know but I told them that they have to wait and see) And a friend of mine who also has a DD has also been trying to convince me that I am having a daughter, but she acts very competitive with me for some reason so I think she has another agenda.

So going through the first half of the pregnancy with everyone close to me saying that there is no way I could have a boy, had me acting my heart out that I would be really ok with whoever comes into the family and the more it went on the more angry I became with people acting like a girl was the 2nd prize as I love and want my unborn baby regardless of gender . And I know that would have had a while of gender dissapointment where I would have to mourn the loss of a DS that never was but that would be seperate to the feelings I would have had for a DD2. (I went through this with DD as I was totally convinced from the moment of conception that she was a boy and it took the 3rd ultrasound confirmation of a girl to have me believe it)

Fingers crossed that you will hear boy on the 8th but a healthy baby girl is by no means the runner up prize either.

[Pearl327]

Cinss. How are you doing at the min. I know you had a tough time coming up in march and fingers crossed everything worked out ok.
Hope your little man has turned for you too.

[Flava]

mini- I have 4DD and my 4th is just awesome. Not to mention she is the only one who look like me have blue eyes like me . It's just something special about seeing a mini me walking around lol Anyway I love my girls a lot and you will love the new baby too no matter the gender.
And you know don't you think your MIL will be different if the baby is a boy. At least mine is not. SIL got 2 kids (boys) and only her kids matters . I know she wanted a girl so for me to have a boy and on my BD of all days is just killing them.
They never even said congrats to me when I had my boy or even send a postcard or anything at all for him.(not that I got anything from anyone else but still ) Not to this day! They are far away so only saw pics from the baby. But now we don't even post pics fro them. why should I?
Well I suppose living so far away from each other is good.
Hope it will be different for you!

[ELP]

Mini, I re-looked at your nub shots and I have a real good feeling that you have a little man in there:) If it does turn out to be a little girl, then exactly as everyone else has says, she will be an absolutely perfect little addition to your family xxx

[Cinss]

Cinss. How are you doing at the min. I know you had a tough time coming up in march and fingers crossed everything worked out ok.
Hope your little man has turned for you too.

Hey Pearl well things are ok at the moment luckily our court system drags out for ages, so it looks like DP will be with me for the birth which i am really relieved about. I have a scan when i am 35 weeks so i will be able to see if bub has turned. Thanks for asking :)

[ELP]

This is good news Cinss! I reckon he'll be head down for you:agree:

oh 6 days can't wait to find out :)

[minimatron]

Me too. I'm really nervous. I'm really preparing myself to hear girl. I just don t want to be upset if it is. I hate this part.

[True Blue]

Good Luck minimatron although looking at your nub I'm sure you will hear boy ;)

[minimatron]

Do you really think so? It does strike me as boy and the DVD with all the shots between the legs looked boy. I just don't want to crash down to a low if it is a girl. I know if it is a girl, I will love her so much, but I'll also endure all those guilt feeling from wishing she was a he.
Come on Monday!

[minimatron]

Thanks true blue for looking at my nub.

Girls, I posted the short clip of baby between its legs and also nub views. Could you please have a look and tell me what you think. I'm grasping at straws!

[Flava]

mini -I looked at your post the nub look like a boy to me. Good luck! XX

[minimatron]

Thanks flava. I understand its too early to really know. I posted a pic of dd3 nub because hers was angled and got boy guesses. Not sure f I mentioned but I changed my scan to Friday afternoon.

[Flava]

mini-I said to early for the video because it's early to tell from a potty shot . That's why your DD3 look like this baby.But I think this baby's stuff is bigger on video. Not early for the nub pics and that looks boyish.

[Flava]

Ok I watched the video again on 0:46 looks like a little pee pee lol .Only is before 13 weeks you know...Good luck to you I really wish this is your boy.

[Pearl327]

Mini I really hope you have a healthy blue baby in there.

Cinss that is good news that your DH should make the birth and that your squirmy little man is on the move to the correct position.

[minimatron]

Thanks for looking. All is good. I'm feeling somewhat calm today. Only one more sleep.

[3Pink1Blue]

Hey Ladies! Sorry I've been missing for a bit. Things have been crazy here with Charlie turning one and then dd1's birthday just a few weeks later.

Catch me up!

[minimatron]

lol.... I woke up this morning feeling very calm... now I've stopped rushing around I'm feeling nauseated. I know dh is nervous but accepting. Only 6 hours to go.

[minimatron]

Less than 2 hours to go... Gosh I feel sick. I'll have a house full of people when we get hone so I'm hoping its positive or I'll spend the afternoon crying. I want this bit to be over lol

[Cinss]

I know the feeling, try to distract yourself for a bit... You will be ok, im excited for you! Update asap!!!

[afy]

I'm like hanging off the end of my chair in suspense, can't wait to hear from you..let us know soon as you can

[minimatron]

The scan place is running late...

[minimatron]

I cant believe I'm baking a boy.... Omg

[afy]

Omg!!! Huge congratulations mini I knew it ... Awwwww soo lovely to hear.. Enjoy every min of it!!

[True Blue]

Mini I am so excited for you :bluecheer: best news ever :D congratulations on your son!!

[Cinss]

I cant believe I'm baking a boy.... Omg

Give us the juicy details of how the scan went :) How did DH react?

[minimatron]

Well the scan was running around an hour and a half late. I think they had a bad day with tricky babies. Mine was just as bad. It was rolled in a ball, feet over its head. There was some issues with the kidneys being swollen so she got a great look down there. It wasnt until the end that we asked. I think she would have finished up and not told us if we didn't ask. Glad we did coz the DVD shows no clues, although I didn't see any girl bits before that. Adam was extatic. I've never seen his mouth with such a huge smile. I can't believe the ration compared to the lows we had last time. I cried. Its a bit. I have one shot I will post up in the next few days . I'm going to bed, I'm emotionally exhausted! Tomorrow's busy with 3 kids parties.... but I will get onto it. Thanks so much for your support, I really appreciate it x

[Pearl327]

Congratulations mini. That is great news

[ELP]

This is fanastic news, congratulations Mini and family xxxxxx

[minimatron]

OK... this is going to be posted everywhere. I still can't believe it. Dd2 was quite upset she wasn't getting another sister. Now its the fun of choosing a name. We hadn't even gone there coz we didn't think it was going to happen :-)

[3Pink1Blue]

Congrats minimatron! I still very distinctly remember walking around all morning in a haze so afraid of my u/s. My guy is 14 months on the 11th and I'm still amazed I heard boy lol Dd1 cried at first not wanting a brother, trust me your dd will adore him once he's here if not sooner.

[Flava]

3pink -you think you can just show up here after all this time with no BD pics??? Need to post some lol
Nothing much new here oh ELP is having a new baby!

[Flava]

mini congrats great news !:celebrate: That's a boy for sure lol And you DD will love him .Little kids just love babys. The tech almost didn't even look ? That's crazy!

[Flava]

oh yeah mini-the name choosing terror...it was for us. I though it will be easy but omg...girl names is a lot easier to pick .
I just didn't find one I really love so we picked on 2 days before baby came just to have a name.

[3Pink1Blue]

Elp! This makes 10 right?!

You are right Flava, I should know better lol

We had a Mustache Bash for Charlie's first birthday, here's a few pics from his birthday shoot.

[Flava]

ELP- I love your pic too! So sweet! I still jealous of your place lol wish I live there too! It's just so nice.

I have to put pic up from the camera first then I can post. Hopefully tomorrow.

Hi check out the successful boy sways here - http://genderdreaming.com/forum/add-your-boy-sway/

[3Pink1Blue]

Thanks minimatron!

Desperate4blue - here's a link to my blue sway. I honestly think the HE diet was my biggest factor. I ate full fat foods and cut out processed ones, so different from my pre pregnancy diet with the girls. GL!
http://www.genderdreaming.com/forum/showthread.php?t=3723

[Flava]

Jen what cute babys you had! Funny on the baby pics he looks like DD3 but on the other when the girls are bigger he look like DD2.
He is my boy the only time he was happy in that bumbo chair. Had to take it back to store. We kept the rocker he likes that one.

[dloui128]

Flava he is soooooo cute!!

[3Pink1Blue]

Such a cutie!!

[xxxx]

Sweet, so lovely! cute baby you have there Flava.

[Flava]

Thanks ladies! :o
dloui - I remember you wanted to post some pics where are they? How is your baby boy?

[dloui128]

sorry I totally forgot. He is so good, I can't believe how fast it is going by

here is DD2 & DD1 and of course

[ELP]

Flava your little guy is gooorgeous!!, how is life in general?? Has having him filled the place that was missing and have the worlds stupid comments stopped or just changed:rolleyes::bigsmile:

[ELP]

Dloui, your girls are little gems and that little man just had me LOL!!! Is his hair always like that!! That is the cutest! My DS2 had the top spike plus one coming out of each side lol, he used to have people stop and staring lol!

[dloui128]

Thanks ELP. His hair stands up on its own, all of my kids had that kind of hair. I put baby oil on his and give him faux hawks all the time lol

[atomic sagebrush]

Wow flava and dloui so cute!!! :heart:

[Flava]

Thanks again ! :o
dloui-you have such pretty girls OMG! And your baby boy is very cute he still have that hair huh? You lucky he is a good boy. My baby somewhat better now but still I have to hold him way to much he complains if I put him down.

ELP- sure I love him and we are happy to have him .I just wish he came a lot earlier...it's pretty much hard around here for me.I feel like my days are just work work work , chores chores chores. Im sure I would have enjoyed this a lot more if my first sway have been worked. I know when he is bigger it will be easier so I just have to wait. LOL
I don't have much comments at all this time because I don't have any friends.

[ELP]

I kwym about the constant chores!! Flamin laundry!! Its shocking! And at 5 months they want to be involved but lack the motor skills to do it so whine when your not carrying them, ugh!!:bigsmile:
I'm not a big one for rl friends either, pita!! :agree: Theres just not time in the day for them. Theyve usually got 2 kids and no crayon on their walls, now wheres the fun in that:bigsmile:!!!

[dloui128]

Thanks again ! :o

he still has the crazy hair, it is starting to lay down now that he is getting more hair but I still spike it up :) Thats all I feel like I do lately is laundry and chores plus I have a full time job so it leaves no time for anything else, much less friends. West likes to be held too, I just keep reminding myself that they are only little once and soon as he starts walking and getting into things he won't want anything to do with me and then I will miss it

[Pearl327]

ELP I always seem to be doing laundry so I cannot imagine what it is like in your house.

[Flava]

ELP Im just doing some laundry now ! lol

dloui-Where is the baby when you work? I was thinking so much to go work this months...Im home for a long time now and going crazy also very much stressed all the time .It's hard being with little kids none stop.I read that mothers with small children's is the most stressed group. Well I know that thanks to admit it huh!
Only thing is Im scared to put my baby in daycare so little. I always think until they can't talk they can't tell me if anything happened and so on. And who would hold him all day ? And if not they would just let him cry there? so on...would make me crazy thinking . Also there is DD4 and to pay for 2 kids is so much money I would make money just to pay daycare!

My mom or MIL do 3 days and my DH has him the other 2, I wouldn't want to do daycare so young either. Maybe you could work a couple of days at night when DH got home so you could at least get out of the house and have some time to yourself while getting some extra cash

Oh that's lucky for you. We have no family here so no help at all. I should go work at the day time because by night Im so tired! And to go work after a day with 5 kids and all the chores ? Im so tired by then :-( So for now Im stuck like this I guess.

[ELP]

Ladies I have my scan date! The 23 of April, I'll be exactly 13 weeks for a bit of luck! ( my ticker is a day ahead). So I reckon I will walk out of there knowing whos ih there!!! Plus I can have 4 pictures at a cost of £9, £9!!!! thats flamin outrageous!!! But I'll buy them nonetheless lol! I'm very excited, and I am lucky to be able to say I only have a small preference towards blue as we have Dave:) So I'm counting down!!:agree:

[Flava]

ELP -that's great hope you can have a nub pic or something at least. Good luck for a boy! But if it's a girl for sure there is nothing like a sweet baby girl! At least I think that even though I have my boy now.

[ELP]

Thats my thinking too:) It would be lovely to give Davey a little boy to play with, but I came here for a little more blue for the family which we got with Dave:) so this new baby is a kind of pressure free member:agree: And just thinking of that small little body all curled up and warm, maybe in a little pink outfit just sounds fantastic in itself!

[minimatron]

Hey ladies... sorry for my absence, we had a busy weekend where we had to put to sleep our 13 year old dog. Its been a hard time around here of late with death and dying. My dh uncle died suddenly in march, now the dog and my best friends dad doesn't have long to live from cancer. At least I have my family ...its hard to be happy after all this but I'm praying that things turn around.
Anyway I've been working too so things are busy trying to keep up with kids and house stuff. I'm fortunate to have the support of my parents, but still can only work 2 days a week.
Hope you are all well. Still trying to pick names out here.....
