TTC Blue Crew Grads

[Tink18]

Next week right ttc???

[Hobbermittens]

Tink, that looks gorgeous! Did you paint the cherry blossoms and tree yourself?

[TTC5]

Yep 7 days to go! I do have a hospital app today though they may do a scan but not sure, and if they do they may not even tell us gender either.. but hoping they do one and do say lol.

[WashingtonPromise]

Wow Tink, your belly is all compact.

Love the room.

[TTC5]

Ok ladies I am measuring 5 full weeks ahead, measuring 24 and just 19 weeks. Big bubba!!!

[Flava]

Nice room! Now that's a real dragon baby lol .I like it!

[WashingtonPromise]

TTC5: So no other news? No gender? How was the scan, your placenta?

[Flava]

Really I forgot all about this dragon thing. What was it all about? I remember I read something like it's the year of the dragon and all Asian ppl want a dragon baby because it's very luck ect or something like that?

[Hobbermittens]

Yeah, it is Chinese Astrology. WHat year were you born? I was born in 1972, Year of the Rat. My husband is a Tiger, DD1 is a Monkey, DS is a Dog, DD2 is a Tiger, and this baby will be a Dragon.

[LolaInLove]

Tink, you look beautiful and the room is AMAZING! Seriously, you should submit photos to a design magazine or something. Did you create that yourself?

TTC5, no peek between the legs? Were your girls big like that? It's got to be your burly little guy in there!!!!

[TTC5]

No lol my girls always measured 1-2 weeks behind so this has come as a shock lol!!!!!

[TTC5]

TTC5: So no other news? No gender? How was the scan, your placenta?

No gender news, so its waiting another 6 days!!! They are checking placenta again then too but midwife didn't sound too hopeful it will shift :( If it wasnt for it being anterior and having a previous abdo scar I would have a good chance of it moving!

[LolaInLove]

I am just dying to hear your baby's gender, 5!!!

[WashingtonPromise]

TTC5: Darn no peak. Didn't they have your due date off in the beginning? I know it wasn't by that many wks, but I seem to remember something of the sort. 6 days.....I guess we just have to wait.

[TTC5]

Nope no chance of dates being off because we have my hcg levels from as low as 3 - 26 ;)

[My Fabulous Children]

I am not sure that is the nub though, don't you think it is sitting too far up to be a nub?
Shouldn't it be lower down on the body??

No 5! I think that is the boy nub. :xy:

How many days till your gender scan? So excited for you.

[My Fabulous Children]

My scan is next Monday, the 7th. I won't get any gender pics--and I probably won't post any other ones either, because I don't want people guessing from the skull. I am just sure the baby is a girl anyway, but I know I will feel more GD if I get confirmation, or any girl guesses. I really hope the baby is healthy!!

Sorry your family has the flu, WP!

Good luck Hobber! I hope all goes well with your scan.

I don't know why you think the baby is a girl?! There is a good chance your baby is a boy!!! :luck:

[My Fabulous Children]

Tink, I love the room, Good job! And your belly is so cute, you're SO CLOSE!!

[My Fabulous Children]

No gender news, so its waiting another 6 days!!! They are checking placenta again then too but midwife didn't sound too hopeful it will shift :( If it wasnt for it being anterior and having a previous abdo scar I would have a good chance of it moving!

5, what's going on with your placenta?

[My Fabulous Children]

Girlmom, Still thinking of you dear xxx

Flava, How are you? Are you getting any scan soon?

Hope you're all doing well :HH:

[Hobbermittens]

Good luck Hobber! I hope all goes well with your scan.

I don't know why you think the baby is a girl?! There is a good chance your baby is a boy!!! :luck:

Thanks MFC. I just have a gut feeling that it is a girl. I am trying to get used to the idea so I won't get GD again.

[Tink18]

THanks everyone. I did design the room! People thought i was insane to do a black wall. No one could see my vision, as usual. Then when everyone was over for my shower they just loved it. The tree took me 6 hours and I DID IT MYSELF! ahhhh omg, wanted to punch a puppy!

Getting close and feeling pretty good these days. Feel better then i did 1st and 2nd trimester...only thing is my body is feeling tight...hard to walk at the end of the day.

How is Girlmom?? Updates?

ttc measuring that far ahead! wild.....CANT WAIT TO HEAR!!!!

anyway...5 more weeks give or take....COME ON ZANE!!! my doc says end of May, we shall see..im sure ill go 2 weeks later! lol

[TTC5]

No 5! I think that is the boy nub. :xy:

How many days till your gender scan? So excited for you.

Only 6 days away now!!

[TTC5]

5, what's going on with your placenta?

Had some fluid and blood loss over a week ago not as much as when I was 10 weeks but still.. anyway ultrasound revealed I have partial placenta praevia.

[Butterfly Spirit]

Ok ladies I am measuring 5 full weeks ahead, measuring 24 and just 19 weeks. Big bubba!!!

OMG TTC5, how did that happen!? So you'll go a month earlier than expected!?
How exciting that you'll get your confirmation scan soon!
And remember... I'm watching you.. LMAO.


2419

[girlmom]

got checked today a loose 5cm and a bluging bag... what does bulging bag mean? seriously 5 girls and i have never heard this term before. i get the feeling its not much longer but good news is baby michael weighs 4lbs!!

[Butterfly Spirit]

No 5! I think that is the boy nub. :xy:

How many days till your gender scan? So excited for you.

When she had her fluid leak, she posted a great potty shot. I think she should repost it and get votes on it. ;)

[TTC5]

OMG TTC5, how did that happen!? So you'll go a month earlier than expected!?
How exciting that you'll get your confirmation scan soon!
And remember... I'm watching you.. LMAO.


2419

LMAO!!!!!!

Well I tend to go 3-4 weeks early anyway so don't want to make that another month on top :S

[TTC5]

When she had her fluid leak, she posted a great potty shot. I think she should repost it and get votes on it. ;)
Oh no no that wasn't MY shot but one we found off the net looking EXACTLY like what we saw ;)

[TTC5]

got checked today a loose 5cm and a bluging bag... what does bulging bag mean? seriously 5 girls and i have never heard this term before. i get the feeling its not much longer but good news is baby michael weighs 4lbs!!

4lbs is tiny but great news when you know your in for a prem!!! Buldging waters means they are ready to burst basically.. are you on best rest still? You have done soooo good to get this far!!!

[Butterfly Spirit]

LMAO!!!!!!

Well I tend to go 3-4 weeks early anyway so don't want to make that another month on top :S

Me too. I hit 37 wks and I'm done! :)

[TTC5]

bubby may slow down perhaps just a big growth spurt :)

[Butterfly Spirit]

bubby may slow down perhaps just a big growth spurt :)

Or it's cuz he's a BOY! :P

[Hobbermittens]

got checked today a loose 5cm and a bluging bag... what does bulging bag mean? seriously 5 girls and i have never heard this term before. i get the feeling its not much longer but good news is baby michael weighs 4lbs!!

Wow, that is great, 4 lbs is really good for a premie!

[TTC5]

Or it's cuz he's a BOY! :P

We will see in 6 days!! :D

[Flava]

hobber-I think Im a tiger .I was born in 74. No idea what what's my girls are .I don't know their sign at all lol .Only DD1 because she told me haha
Hey Fab -how is your placenta?

girl mom-I hope your baby stay in longer! My DD3 was 4.11 6 weeks early and that is so small! All the preemie clothes was so big on her her head fit in my hand and the preemie hats was huge !That tiny dipper was so big on her too. I hated to see her in the NICU and they poked her all the time it was awful she still have all the scares on her heel from the none stop blood checking.It will never go away .

[Hobbermittens]

hobber-I think Im a tiger .I was born in 74. No idea what what's my girls are .I don't know their sign at all lol .Only DD1 because she told me haha
.

Yes, 1974 is the tiger. DH is one. Here is a site that explains the signs and the years if you want to read about it.

Chinese Zodiac - Chinese Astrology from ChineseZodiac.com (http://www.chinesezodiac.com/index.php)

[girlmom]

i was really looking forward to that 4th of july birthday too, what kid is born on his due date but dd3 is a valentines day baby and dd6 is a memorial day baby and i was a thanksgiving day baby. so i thought july 4th was pretty cool. i would love to have him then. yea i know 4lbs is small but it seems as if im already 5cm and now i have a bulging bag of water i will most likely have a preemie reguardless of what i do. 31 weeks is way better then the 25 weeks doctors told me. im really proud of myself for making it this far and i have hope for my son.

[Hobbermittens]

31 weeks is great! You have done great, girlmom! :) There are lots of good holidays coming up--mother's day, father's day, memorial day (I know you already have a kid with that birthday, but you could have 2). He might choose one of those. :)

[WashingtonPromise]

girlmom: great to hear you are still pregnant, but it doesn't sound like that is going to last long. 4 lbs is a nice weigh, way better than what he would have been at 25 wks. My SIL had her last 1 wk early and she was only 5lb 1oz....she is still super little though. You guys tons of holiday birthdays in your family!!!

TTC5: 5 more days!!! This going to be big news.


I can not believe you guys and going early, with my first 4 children I was 1-2+ wks late and always induced. With the last 2 they were the day before and on due dates. I took 5W( 5 herbs in pill form that help tone your uterus and get you ready for labor) with those pregnancies and I think it really helped. I just don't want to go over due again.....not even thinking about going early. Of course DH says this one will be early, but he said that last time.....she was born one day early and that doesn't count.

I have all the clothes and EVERTHING (except the carseat and bedding) washed!!! I feel so good about having something ready. I am really trying to get DH to paint the room soon, so I can decorate. There just seems to be way to many important things around the farm right now that come first. I am really itching to get all my cowboy things out.

[begonia]

WP can't wait to see your cowboy nursery :) Tink yours is great!

Girlmom I'm proud of you too, you are right to be proud of yourself for not giving up hope ... look how much longer you've held him in! He's going to do great :) Bet a year from now we're all marveling over how totally, 100% normal he is.

So TTC5 you're measuring big! What is your biggest baby so far?

MFC good to see you around love! What's the latest on you? All ok? Hope so!

[TTC5]

My eldest was 9lb and the others were mid to low 7lbs.

[Flava]

Yes, 1974 is the tiger. DH is one. Here is a site that explains the signs and the years if you want to read about it.

Chinese Zodiac - Chinese Astrology from ChineseZodiac.com (http://www.chinesezodiac.com/index.php)

Thanks for the link. It's so interesting I will read it more when I have time.
So my girls are Ox, Goat , Dog and my DD4 is a Tiger like me !!! yessss! :bigsmile::highfive:

[girlmom]

1st girl 7lbs
2nd 9lbs even
3rd 7lbs
4th 9lbs and 3 weeks early
5th 15 ounces
6th 8lbs and 3 weeks early

[auroara78]

I think 31 weeks is great, girlmom, you are doing sooo good! You will love having a baby boy!!

Hobbers, thanks for the link on Chinese astrology. My husband and I are horses (but our year puts us in 'earth horses'), DS1 is a pig (well always knew that :rofl:), DS2 is a rabbit, and of course this new babe will be a water dragon, like all our babies born in 2012.

It's interesting to read because I def. feel like I fit horse to a T, one of the traits of earth horse is "will work to meet goals, no matter how long it takes." This is very true for me, and it's always fun reading about this stuff...thanks again for link.

[begonia]

I'm an earth horse too Auroara! And like you I really felt it fit me. I didn't look up my kids. Apparently it's all about me today :bigsmile: I'm going to go check theirs out too.

girlmom your ticker is saying almost 32 weeks!!!! FAB!!!! Hang in there Michael!

[begonia]

48 hours TTC5 ... tick tock tick tock .. :wink:

[auroara78]

can't wait to hear what your girls are, begonia! This stuff is just so much fun and its always neat when it actually connects personality wise! One of the things they say about a pig (DS1) is that he'll be very generous and could be taken advantage of, and that totally resonates, because he is the sweetest, most giving little boy.

[LolaInLove]

Girlmom, NICE JOB! You are doing so great!!!!!

WP, what is that 5W supp you are talking about? I always had late ones too, and a sack of waters that was like made of industrial rubber from drinking EmergenC every day (my doula told me about that). With both girls, they could barely break it and had to do something painful to get it to rupture when I was far along.

I'm excited to see pics of the new babies soon!!!!!

[LolaInLove]

See, this is mine, and so not me at all: Fire Dragons – 1916 and 1976

A Fire Dragon’s emotions can flare instantly. Fire Dragons put themselves on pedestals, and because they react quickly and recklessly, they sometimes make wrong decisions. Fire Dragons need to slow down and keep their tempers in check as that’s when they’re best.

[auroara78]

Yeah, that seems all wrong for you, Lola, you are so level-headed and helpful!!

[Hobbermittens]

THought I would update over here too. Had my ultrasound yesterday and everything looks good!! Doctor said the baby looks healthy, and we are just waiting on some screening blood work to come back. I hope that comes back looking good too.

I kept my eyes closed for most of the scan so I wouldn't see anything by accident. I am still team green! (But I still feel like it is a girl :( )

[WashingtonPromise]

Lola: It is a supplement that has 5 herbs in it (can not remember which ones off hand) and they all help tone and exercise the uterus for birth. I think there is something like it called "gentle birth". It has helped with the last 2 pregnancies, so I plan to keep it up :) Even after this baby I will still have to check in on you, can't wait to see how things go for you.


We have been so busy the past couple of days. DD1 is doing standardized testing this week and 2 of the other children had dental cleanings today. I am trying to get them all in before June. I only have one left and one of the children needs a small filling. I also had a appt with my midwife today, everything is great. I did lose 3 pds, but I think it has to do with the yuck we had last week, I have one more 2 week appt and then it starts with every week.....ahhhh.

I am going to go make some bread to go with my fresh butter...mmmmm.

[WashingtonPromise]

Glad all looks good Hobber!!!

[Hobbermittens]

Glad all looks good Hobber!!!

Thank you!!

[Hobbermittens]

WP, you are so busy! Did you make the butter yourself?

[girlmom]

32 weeks tomorrow. i have been told anyday now since i was 24 weeks, i was preparing for a micropreemie. goes to show sometimes doctors are wrong ladies. i feel very lucky. i could not have said goodbye to another child. i can't deliver here in town until 35 weeks so thats my new goal. can i make it 3 more weeks at 5cm and a bulging bag of water?

[Princess of Pink]

I hope he hangs in there for 3 more weeks!! You have done so well hon...congrats to you!! xoxoxox

[Hobbermittens]

You can do it, girlmom!! Baby Michael, you are grounded for 3 weeks!! :rofl:

[dloui128]

of course you can girlmom you are doing fantastic!

[WashingtonPromise]

Girlmom: You made it past 25 wks, you can make it just 3 more wks. What a success story you are!!! I love to hear your update.

Hobber: I guess I am really busy. Most people are just as busy as we are, but it is with sports and activities. Yes, I made the butter, but really it is very simple to do and taste sooo creamy and good. I may not crave any sweets this time, but bread and protein are my friend.

[Tink18]

no ttc update???

[Bumblebee]

32 weeks tomorrow. i have been told anyday now since i was 24 weeks, i was preparing for a micropreemie. goes to show sometimes doctors are wrong ladies. i feel very lucky. i could not have said goodbye to another child. i can't deliver here in town until 35 weeks so thats my new goal. can i make it 3 more weeks at 5cm and a bulging bag of water?

yes you can do it! best of luck hope you are blessed with a big healthy baby boy xx

[Flava]

hey bumblebee congrats on the boy! :celebrate:

[TTC5]

Flava wow you are now 12 weeks!!!!! Will you have a 12 week scan?

Girlmom - how you going?

ASF big scan in less than 11 hours and I am so scared!!!!!

[Flava]

omg 5 don't be scared it's a boy ! lol i just posted about it on ttc blue thread :p

Sure i will have a scan everyone has one lol

I was also thinking about girlmom and how hard this must be for her. She is like a hero! I also have 4 girls here and zero help I have no idea how would I do it.
I know she said her sister and mom is around but they wont help how rude is that?!
I just hope she make it safe to the hospital when is time. I would help if I would be around her!

[dloui128]

Can't wait to see your boy pics 5:)

[LolaInLove]

32 weeks tomorrow. i have been told anyday now since i was 24 weeks, i was preparing for a micropreemie. goes to show sometimes doctors are wrong ladies. i feel very lucky. i could not have said goodbye to another child. i can't deliver here in town until 35 weeks so thats my new goal. can i make it 3 more weeks at 5cm and a bulging bag of water?

YOU CAN DO IT! If you've come this far, you can do 3 more weeks! We are all so proud of you!

[LolaInLove]

Aw thank you Aurora and WP for the sweet comments! I will stick around as long as I can....but I'm on FB also so always glad to friend anyone. (:

WP, how do you make the butter? Do you have a churn or do you do it in a mixer or something?

[girlmom]

thanks girls, yea im still pregnant. im kinda hoping it just ends soon. i hate this feeling i have. im so scared i won't make it to the hospital on time. im scared my hubby wil be at work and it takes me about half an hour to contact him. im scared the girls will be at school and someone will have to pick them up. i have 30 min labors after my water breaks and right now i have a bulging bag, no way i will ever make it to the big hospital with the nicu. plus this feeling like he's going to fall out all day. he's just sitting on whats left of my cervix and thats not much. i feel like such a crappy mother for not hanging in there like everyone else, i feel even worse for secretly hoping he comes out soon. i hate this guilty feeling i have. i had a 4th of july birth at a birthing center all planned out too, now i just want do something stupid like go for a walk or play outside with my girls. i hate bedrest.

[skrimpy]

Girlmom I am sorry it is so rough for you. Just remember that every day you hang in there and stick in the bed is a day he is getting bigger. You can look up footprints online, see footprints from preemies and term babies. My cousin said looking at how tiny the preemie feet were really helped her to stay in bed and eat what she needed go when she was on bed rest.

Can you get some books to read with your girls in bed? Or watch special videos with them? Play a board game? Something to feel like you're doing a great job mothering them! You are awesome for helping your LO grow healthy and strong.

As for DH, does he have a cell phone? Or can you get him to pick up a prepaid one he can always have with him under the circumstances?

Are you having nurse check-ins via phone or any monitoring? My cousin's doctor ordered this for her, too, and she found it very comforting to know the nurse was monitoring everything and she (my cousin) could call anytime she was concerned. I think the device she used was called a HUAM but I don't remember what it stands for... It monitored for contractions though, so she and her nurse KNEW when she needed to get to the hospital ASAP. She used it at set times every day.

[Flava]

girlmom-I also got my preemie in a hospital with no nicu because there was no time to go anywhere else. But they all have incubators and they took my baby next day up to a very good hospital and there she even needed to have breathing tube to help her.
I think if she would needed tubes in at birth they would have take her right away.
So don't worry if you don't make it to that hospital they will take the baby for sure.
But lets hope he will not need any of this.

[WashingtonPromise]

girlmom: I agree with Skrimpy, everyday counts. You have a ton of good reasons that you just want to get this all over with, but he will be coming soon. How often are they monitoring you? I thought you were still in the hospital. So, you are back at home on bedrest. You are a wonderful mother, a lot of women would have geiven up weeks ago. I am sure you daughters understand that you bedrest is not permanent. Before long this whole situation will be over and things will start to go back to normal. Big Hugs.

Lola: I make my butter in a blender, it is sweet cream butter. You can use a churn, but you have to leave the milk at room temp+ for it to culture and we don't really like the cultured/sour taste. MMMMM love fresh butter.

TTC5: what a big day, can't wait to see some pics.

I had a ton of HB conx yesterday. I started to pack my bags just incase. I still am no where near ready, but I did take the bags out of the closet :) And put the baby book in one.

Do you ladies have a check list for your hospital bag or do you just wing it?

What do you bring for the baby?

I normally have a list and I need to get it going.

[Hobbermittens]

I bring 2 outfits, 2 onesies, 2 recieving blankets, a car seat, the camera, extra camera batteries, my cellphone and charger, some chapstick, a book to read, a baby name book if needed, and maybe some snacks for DH.

[girlmom]

i go in once a week and trust me i look forward to my doc apps. just so i can get out of the house. i get shots, meds, i get a cervix check once a week, i get hooked up for nonstress tests to see how baby is taking all these meds. then they put these things around my lower legs which are suppose to keep me from getting blood clots.

now im getting gestational dibetes because i can't move and i just lay around like a big fat slug all day. so now i have to prick my finger 5 times a day and write down everything i eat. i just really hope i won't have to do insulin. i don't think i can stab myself with needles.

[TTC5]

Ok ladies 2.5 hrs to go. I dreamt I was late for my appointment haha.

[Princess of Pink]

Big hugs girlmom...pregnancy can suck ass sometimes but you are doing so well...keep the little guy cooking for a while longer!! xoxoxoxox

[Princess of Pink]

Getting in early 5...

hey bumblebee congrats on the boy! :celebrate:

thanks very much Flava!! :heart: It still sinking in! I gotta pull myself together soon so when I see my relatives next and they ask about the scan I won't burst out crying with joy and I need to prepare myself to say "I don't know what the sex is!" with a straight face! :rofl:

[Bumblebee]

thanks girls, yea im still pregnant. im kinda hoping it just ends soon. i hate this feeling i have. im so scared i won't make it to the hospital on time. im scared my hubby wil be at work and it takes me about half an hour to contact him. im scared the girls will be at school and someone will have to pick them up. i have 30 min labors after my water breaks and right now i have a bulging bag, no way i will ever make it to the big hospital with the nicu. plus this feeling like he's going to fall out all day. he's just sitting on whats left of my cervix and thats not much. i feel like such a crappy mother for not hanging in there like everyone else, i feel even worse for secretly hoping he comes out soon. i hate this guilty feeling i have. i had a 4th of july birth at a birthing center all planned out too, now i just want do something stupid like go for a walk or play outside with my girls. i hate bedrest.

I had another scan today ...Baby looks healthy and is growing :) very cute :HH:

Last time I talked with my ob/gyn she really made me feel better and told me not to worry ..

She told me that most of the time the placenta will move later ..she looked at my file and said I have partial placenta praevia. She told me to take it easy, no lifting, no sex, no exercise. She made me feel really comfortable and gave me good information.

Today- Just right before the trans vaginal scan the u/s tech scared me (Like always). She asked me what my ob says about the whole thing so I explain everything to her and told her that I don't have placenta accerta, but partial placenta praevia and it will move later, but she said placenta accreta is suspected. AND she always talks about having my uterus removed :(.

Ultrasound showed low placenta today, but not covering my cervix anymore. U/S tech told me the placenta has moved .. I think she was a little bit surprised, lol. I'm happy and I hope things keep getting better and better.

She wants to see me again in 4 weeks and I have an MRI in 3 weeks. Just to make sure that everything is going well.

[TTC5]

So glad your placenta is moving too, like mine :)

[My Fabulous Children]

Oh no dont go in to labour lol!!!

LMAO! I agree.

[My Fabulous Children]

So glad your placenta is moving too, like mine :)

How's your placenta 5?

[Butterfly Spirit]

MFC, I'm SO glad you had a great scan and things are looking UP!!!! :D

[TTC5]

My placenta is looking good. It is 15mm away from the cervix. Sono said what he thinks has happened is that last scan I probably had a contraction which made placenta look or get pushed down to the cervix. It happened today was so weird seeing a contraction on the scan! It needs to move 5mm to be considered safe but they wont check for another 10 weeks now and he said it should be able to shift those last few mm up :) So FX it does, I am feeling MUCH better now!

Thanks MFC. I just have a gut feeling that it is a girl. I am trying to get used to the idea so I won't get GD again.

I hope your feeling is wrong and you will never get GD again :) xxx

[Butterfly Spirit]

Wonderful news ..32 weeks and 4lbs is great!! Any time now.

[My Fabulous Children]

Flava, When is your NT scan? So excited for you!

Bumblebee, Congrats on your boy!

Fab- sounds like you have good news too! Hope everything will be ok now.
I already had 2 scan and will have 3 more. Everything looks just fine. thanks

[Flava]

ELP-I see you posting around I miss you! How are things? How is the baby?

[Flava]

bumblebee- i can't find your pics can you post the link plz?

[WashingtonPromise]

TTC5: I am soooo happy for you!!! Isn't that funny that everyone just knew you were having a boy? When will you start to buy boy clothes and things?

MFC: Congrats on the placenta moving.

Hobber: Thanks for sharing what you bring to the hospital. I have done this 6 times before, but just feel like I am forgetting something.

Bumble: Thanks for the check list.

I am so thankful it is Friday I am so tired and need to sleep in. This will be the very first year that my husband will have Mother's Day off since he started at the police dept (8 yrs). He has always been great about bringing me breakfast, so I don't have to cook. But this year will just be a little bit more relaxing having him around.

What is everyone's plans for Mother's Day?
i beleive this sunday is mother's day only for the US....not sure.

[Hobbermittens]

TTC5 had a gut feeling hers was a girl. I think you should watch your video!!! You just don't know yet! :)

No way would I watch that video! I know what I will see. :( I know I am fretting now, but it is no way as bad as how I will feel if I know for sure. So I will wait until the baby comes.

[Hobbermittens]

WP, nice that your DH will be home for mother's day! We have no special plans--DH doesn't believe in mother's day/father's day; he thinks it is just a Hallmark holiday. :(

[Flava]

We have no plans at all I never do. All I ever ask for is good kids for one day but it never happens LOL.
DH told me he will make my favorite breakfast and maybe we go out shopping we need some new stuff , that's it.

[TTC5]

hey 5 !

[My Fabulous Children]

Ladies please pray for me and my little one, I'm in the hospital now, I've been here since yesterday.. I've been bleeding and contractions, so very scary. They gave me medication to stop the contraction

This is my fourth baby and I have never experienced preterm labor before. I'm so scared :(

[Hobbermittens]

MFC!! I have you and your baby in my thoughts!! I hope everything is okay... :( How scary!!

[cemas]

Congrats TT5 !!!! so happy for you.

[girlmom]

mfc, prayers are coming your way, i really think everyone thinking about me is what helped me make it so far. i know how scary this is and exactly what you are going through. its nothing you did, it just happens sometimes as crappy as it is. are you dilateing at all? the medicines can do wonderful things, i was told anyday now at 24 weeks. here i am at 32 weeks still holding strong at 5cm! you can make it too!

[Plum3]

Thinking of you MFC! I hope everything is ok. x

[TTC5]

MFC - Keeping you and your little one in my prayers! KUP!

[LolaInLove]

Hope you are doing well, MFC!!!!! xoxo

[nuthinbutpink]

MFC- I hope you are okay and baby is still in place. I hope they were able to stop your labor. Very scary.

[TTC5]

MFC how is it all going?

[My Fabulous Children]

Thank you so much everyone for all the good thoughts and prayers, It means a lot to me.

I was put on meds to stop the contractions and thanks God they worked. My baby boy looks great. The contractions is stopped and the bleeding only light brown, but only when I wipe. The Ultrasound showed everything normal, close cervix and the placenta is not low.

I Saw my doctor this morning and she thinks because of the placenta moved up this can causes bleeding. Even the ultrasound tech said that to me.

Now I am released from the hospital and back home and told just to be on strict bed rest and take Brethine.

Girlmom, how are you hon? I hope you and your little boy are doing well. You have been through so much what a strong woman, hang in there. You are almost done and you can do it. Yay for 33 weeks!!! So very happy for you.

[Hobbermittens]

MFC, so glad that you are home!! I have been worried about you!! Hopefully that won't happen again. Rest rest rest!!

[Tink18]

HI girls. So I had my 36 week ultra sound to check the size of the baby. the estimated him to be 8 lbs 1 oz. I am trying not to read to much into it because I know they can be way off...but it's hard...8 POUNDS @ 36 WEEKS! yikes! Other then that she said he lookeed great. Got some amazing shots of his face such a fatty. She even pointed out his double chin! mmmmmm baby.

[Hobbermittens]

Wow, he is going to be big, Tink!! Post some of the pictures you got--we'd love to see him!!

[TTC5]

Awww he sounds gorgeous Tink!

[My Fabulous Children]

Thank you Hobber :HH:

[TTC5]

MFC are you and bub ok? x

[My Fabulous Children]

Wow Tink, looks like you're going to have a big baby! I would love to see that fatty face :) I'm sure he's adorable!!

[My Fabulous Children]

Thanks for asking 5, we are back home safe. Did you read my post above?

[TTC5]

No let me go back and find it xx

[TTC5]

So glad you are well MFC and bubby is safe in the womb still!

Girlmom how about you? Seems these boys here lately sure like to put us under some stress hey ;)

[Flava]

Fab-so great everything looks good now! I hope it will be like this till it's time for baby to come.

[Flava]

I went to the birth center yesterday for my appt. and there was another birth going on. Im like every time I come here a new baby is coming? I was jealous lol I want to be over this so I don't get more fat and the sickness stops :p

[dloui128]

MFC-glad everything is ok with you and baby :)

Tink-I love chubby babies can't wait to see him

Flava-are you going to have a gender scan?

[Flava]

dloui-I will have 3 more scan so for sure they will look there lol

[skrimpy]

Aww Tink he sounds so sweet. Just keep in mind how the scans are often wrong on weight with an error of 2lbs that late in pg!

[WashingtonPromise]

MFC: What a relief, good luck with the bed rest....that can be so hard with other children at home.

Tink: I have a friend that was told her baby was 9+ pds and was induced 2 wks early and the baby was barely 6 pds. Is your cervix closed and high? Do they expect you to go early?

Flava: Your pregnancy will be over before you know it. When is your next scan?

TTC5: Did you get paid yet and buy a bunch of blue.

dloui: When is your next appt? Are you finding out gender?

girlmom: any updates?



Not much to report, I think the baby may have dropped. My pelvic bone hurt so bad yesterday, I could barely walk.

Has anyone used Evening Primrose Oil in late pregnancy to soften the cervix? I might try that once I am 39+ wks.

[LolaInLove]

WP, my doula had me put an EPO in my hoo-ha at 39 wks on (I am always late). I'd just stick one in at bedtime.

My next appt is June 8th for my 12 week scan, I won't be finding out gender DH doesn't want to find out since its our last baby so I will just obsess the next 7 months over what I am having :)

My dr told me about EPO to soften my cervix with DD2

[Tink18]

My app with my doc is Thursday. i will update.

[girlmom]

im so glad everything is ok mfc! yes im still pregnant. i did ask my doctor if i could get off bedrest and she said no way. i told her she was wrong and 20 bucks says she will have to induce me at 40 weeks. but im surprisingly still hanging on at 5cm 100% and a bulging bag of water.my mother is flying in soon so i will have some help and she kindly asked me if i wouldn't mind giving birth then so she could be around... umm yea mom cause we all get to pick the exact time and date our child arrives.

[begonia]

MFC so glad all is well, FX for smooth sailing from here on out for you and your little bean.

Bumble congrats!!!

Tink FWIW I had scans thru my pg to check for weight due to the whole history of big babies already... and they were pretty spot on. Really though, in my experience, there's no issues with having a larger baby in terms of delivery, so long as they don't have a big ol' head, LOL! Fat squishes. My 7lb 13oz'er and my 9lb 12oz'er didn't feel any different to me coming out, and if anything I healed faster after the biggest one. DD3 doesn't have much chub though bc in addition to being heavy she's also long so it's all spread out. Your double-chinned little man sounds precious.

WP I didn't take EPO but have heard it is a-ok to take when you're in those last weeks.

Dloui you're strong to wait! I think it has to be one of life's great experiences. I'm too emotionally immature to make it though :rofl: There was a girl in our old blue crew on IG who waited with her 3rd pg (had 2 DD) and they had a boy, and she said it was AMAZING. FX you get the same experience.

Yay Girlmom!!!

[begonia]

Flava hun are you still sick?!?! So sorry :( Hope it eases up for you soon!

[LolaInLove]

Oh B, are you talking about Frogs? I remember her story, it made me cry when she talked about her DH's reaction and facial expression!!!!!

[Princess of Pink]

Has anyone used Evening Primrose Oil in late pregnancy to soften the cervix? I might try that once I am 39+ wks.

I started inserting EPO x2 caps and Starflower Oil x2 caps nightly right up near my cervix from 36 weeks with DD#5. First one to come naturally before their due date (39 weeks) and labour was only 45mins from first contraction!! Will do it again if I ever get pregnant.

[WashingtonPromise]

dloui: Are you going to try and obsess over nub shots or do like Hobber and not look into anything? It would be a wonderful surprise, especially if it is a boy.

Lola: Did the EPO work for you? Or did you still go over due?



Thanks for the replies about the EPO. I did use it a couple pregnancies ago, but last time I was already soft and didn't

I have already obsessed about what side I ovulated from and what the heart rate was :rofl:, I don't know anything about nub shots or skull theory and since my two girls have very different skulls I don't think I will read to much into that, all I really have is OWT's. I am like most mom's that have all of the same gender kids, you just don't think you can get one of the opposite gender so I guess we will see in the next 6 1/2 months

I would use it sooner than 39 :) I used it and so did my sister, it really helps!

[TTC5]

Flava - so when are you sharing with us your NT scan nub shots? ;)

[TTC5]

Tink - he is going to be a whopper lol!!!

[TTC5]

girlmom, hang in there he will be here before you know it!

[Hobbermittens]

Tink, you look so cute (and so does your DD!). I can't figure out what I am seeing in the baby picture though....?

[Flava]

Flava - so when are you sharing with us your NT scan nub shots? ;)

I don't have a good nub on my pic .I saw it really good on the scan but the whole time the tech was just trying to measure the neck.

[dloui128]

I don't have a good nub on my pic .I saw it really good on the scan but the whole time the tech was just trying to measure the neck.


So if you saw the nub what do you think it is?

[auroara78]

Yeah, Flava, what did you think the nub look like to you? You can't leave us in the dark!

[WashingtonPromise]

Tink: I agree with Hobber, I don't know what I am looking at in the u/s pic either. You look great, and I just love seeing your little girl.

TTC5: When do you think I should start taking EPO for a good effect?

dloui: Look at 5, there is always hope. But, I do understand about guarding your heart. A healthy baby is all that really matters in the end anyway.



Tomorrow is my birthday and DH is taking the day off to take me to Olive Garden and an antique store. Of course he also booked an appt at the dentist to get a tooth filled, but I just have to take whatever thoughtfulness he has :) I love Olive Garden's Tiramisu, it is the only dessert I have liked this pregnancy.

[Tink18]

If you look directly at the pic. The 2 dark spots in the middle are his eyes.

[skrimpy]

Okay gals, I didn't have to squint to see the line this morning, so I will officially mosey over to this thread as a "grad."

I would say that even though we weren't trying yet, we had a light sway. We've already been eating a HE diet and I have been doing some supps. We will see what happens. At this point I'm pretty thrilled to be preggers, but I think some anxiety will start creeping in in a few months...

[nuthinbutpink]

I don't have a good nub on my pic .I saw it really good on the scan but the whole time the tech was just trying to measure the neck.

WP, Happy happy Birthday to you hon! Hope you have a beautiful day.. My birthday in two days ;)

[Flava]

Happy Birthday to everyone !:celebrate:

The tech he did not guess or talk about gender at all. But he don't have to I know what's the baby is I had a cvs weeks ago.
They said it's been confirmed twice .
I will tell when I get some pics to show what is it.

[Plum3]

You know what sex the baby is Flava?!

[Flava]

Yes I do.I had the cvs at 10w2d and they already called me with some early result at 10w4d. Also told the sex.
I posted on due date forum i will have a cvs but no1 responded. so i thought whatever then...now I wait , sorry but Im not happy.

[Flava]

Anyway good news is baby is all healthy!

[Plum3]

Yes I do.I had the cvs at 10w2d and they already called me with some early result at 10w4d. Also told the sex.
I posted on due date forum i will have a cvs but no1 responded. so i thought whatever then...now I wait , sorry but Im not happy.

I'm sorry that you are not happy Flava. The due date forums move so quickly, your post probably just got overlooked. I am very glad that you have a healthy baby cooking away :)

I'm so glad everything is ok with the baby Flava!! I can't believe you know the sex and aren't spilling the beans
I never saw your message but we aren't on the same due date forum, maybe we should start one for the blue swayers who are due this year :think:

[Hobbermittens]

Happy Birthday for tomorrow. It was my birthday yesterday x

Happy Birthday!! Lots of Tauruses here! :)

[LolaInLove]

Flava, I can read between the lines there. I hope you are doing ok, and MANY congrats on having a healthy baby!!!! You, and all of you ladies, are so blessed!

[Hobbermittens]

WP, Happy happy Birthday to you hon! Hope you have a beautiful day.. My birthday in two days ;)

Happy birthday MFC!! :)

Flava, I never saw your announcement about the CVS. Is everything okay? Why are you not happy?

[LolaInLove]

Wait, did you not find out the results yet, Flava? I am guessing that you did since you said you are not happy and baby is healthy......sorry if I spoke too soon!!!!

[LolaInLove]

OH wait, you said they told you. I am going to go try to find your pics.....

[zanacal]

I just happened across these posts - Flava, are you ok? I'm guessing from your post that baby is a little girl? {hugs} my love x

[Mochagirl]

Flava - I just saw your posts here too. I'm really sorry if you felt ignored on the due date thread - I honestly have no recollection of you mentioning CVS, but that thread moves so quickly these days with all those Aussie ladies chatting through the night while we sleep that I often just skim through the posts, so I might have missed yours. I'm really happy you're having a healthy baby, and if you heard girl, I'm sorry for the feelings you must be experiencing now. You know I've experienced a failed sway before too back when we were both on IG, and I know the heartbreak attached to it. We're all here for you no matter what, hun!!

[purplepoet20]

Flava - I never saw your post because I know for sure I would have said "Tell me tell me tell me" until you told me.... Please can you tell me! CVS is like 99% correct on gender so why wait for the pictures.... tell me tell me tell me!

[Flava]

It's has nothing to do with the gender. Im not happy because I still sick and I still feel the same way like before.About my weight the pregnancy 1 more kid starting all over ect. Only i don't post about it anymore because when I was looking for comfort or a friendly word or I don't know just something to make me feel better all I got is I must be depressed and go see a therapist. That did not help at all. I also kinda feel alone and left out .But that's ok. I can't help it if I don't jump up and down from happiness like I "suppose to" do.
So really Im just waiting every day to feel normal. Not even good just ok finally.
But thanks for asking :)

[begonia]

Hugs Flava, I'm sorry you're still not feeling well. Pregnancy is physically and emotionally draining. I always say I love it, because I LOVE that there is a life growing inside of me, but at the same time it makes me melancholy too. Hope as the pregnancy progresses you get more excited about it.

[Hobbermittens]

Flava, I think I told you this before, so sorry if I am repeating myself. But it took me until about 14 weeks to get really excited, and look forward to the baby coming. I bet once you are feeling better and your m/s goes away, you will feel happier about things. No one meant anything bad by wondering if you were depressed--we just care about you and worry, that's all. :hugs:

Why do you feel alone and left out? You have been on here longer than me, and I think of you as one of my original TTC Blue buddies!

[WashingtonPromise]

Flava: Oh, don't worry. You will get down back to size. The blue swaying does us all in on weight. I think you will start being happier once you get to see the baby. You just never know, some people feel yucky their entire pregnancy....very trying for anyone.

TTC5: Happy late birthday!!! You started your EPO at 37 wks?

MFC: Happy birthday to you also, it is a nice month.

Thanks for all the Happy birthdays, it has been a great day :)

[Tink18]

36 weeks check up I am 3 centimeters dilated. I know it doesn't mean anything really. I just blows my mind because when my water broke with Ava, it took me 15 hours to get to 4! He is going to be here sooooo sooon!!!

[TTC5]

Tink - Wow!!! He will be here soon!!!

Flava - I did not know you found out the gender by CVS did I miss something??!!!!! Sorry you still feel so sick I'd be going to a diff dr and demanding maxalon or zofran think it is called?

WP I had my girls early so didn't have time to start it but my midwives said it was safe to take from 36 weeks :)

[TTC5]

Had a follow up today with OB at hospital. They seem to think placenta should shift out the way for a safe delivery so FX!

I have to have a 2 hr diabete check next week because baby is still measuring a month ahead and was confirmed big on ultrasound last week.

Other then that, all is well. Looks as though my tummy bug was a bought of food poisoning but I am feeling much better the last 24 hours :D

[My Fabulous Children]

Flava, I hope you feel better very soon.. I gain too much weight during my pregnancy and the time I concieved this baby. Now I look HUGE! I have never been this big in my whole Life. I didn't get any stretch marks with my DD2 or DS1, but now with this pregnancy I got more stretch marks. Not only the weight gain, but fatigue, Low back pain, etc,. That's all okay with me because I am the one who wants to have a baby and planned this pregnancy and your pregnancy was planned too!! Don't worry about your weight gain during pregnancy. Its natural. You’ll lose it all and you know that. Our babies are more important then all of the above :) It's all worth it once they're born :HH: Just think about it that way.

As far as the gender ITA with PP! CVS is like 99% correct on gender so why wait for the pictures?! I'm guessing the baby is a little BOY :xy: :running: Share with us whenever you feel like it , We are so excited for you hon :HH:

[My Fabulous Children]

Happy Birthday for tomorrow. It was my birthday yesterday x

36 weeks check up I am 3 centimeters dilated. I know it doesn't mean anything really. I just blows my mind because when my water broke with Ava, it took me 15 hours to get to 4! He is going to be here sooooo sooon!!!

WOW! So very very soon Tink!

[ELP]

Hiya ladies, hope everyone is well :hug2:
Been a bit mia lately as a months worth of rain has meant DH hanging around the house constantly so no posting allowed lol:bigsmile:

Flava, I hope your sickness passes soon, its horrible just feelin ill isn't it:):hugs: I can't believe your keeping your bump a secret from us!! I reckon its a little blue, and the only thng that is stopping you jumping up and down is the sickness ;), I can't wait to hear and see some piccies!!

MFC, bed rest mus be a nightmare with the kids at home, are you getting ant help?? Its frustrating watching the chaos build up around you knowing you can't get up and put it all away atm, but your soo close!!

Tink, your little fella is gonna be here so soon, I bet you can't wait!!!!!!!!

5, great news on the placenta heading the right way!! Can you believe that they told you this pregnancy wasn't going to happen! You showed them:bigsmile:

Hugs to all others xxx

afm, I'm quite happy lovin little Davey atm:), but am finding myself readiing ttc threads to often when I pop on here and so want to stick to my guns of no ttc until I have the loft converted or at least started, but Davey has been sleeping the night through for weeks?!! and that usually brings back my cycles, I have been spotting for the last few days so I know I'm gonna have to be really strong to not just have an tiny lickle attempt lol, my eldest would kill me I'm sure!!

On a slightly different note my DH, and eldest 3 boys have gone away for the night for my eldest sons 1st boxing match, I'm so nervous at having them away and in a hotel. I know kids boxing isn't for everyone but if I was a little bit more technical I would post their practice bouts on the youtube for you to see, they do do me proud :HH: I'll let you know if he wins or not tomorrow or maybe tonight if I get on:agree:

[Tink18]

there is a huge chance im in labor. been contracting for about an hour about 4-6 mins.about. bloody show...not getting to worked.up as contractions aren't too bad. with Ava my water broke so i knew for sure. will update either way.

[ELP]

OMG Tink!! That s so exciting!!!!! Just get rocking your hips side to side to really encourage things to start off, best of luck:luck: I hope this is it!!

[Butterfly Spirit]

TTC5,

Belated I know sorry, I tried to post this on your wall but I forgot I had to adjust it.
I hope you felt better on your birthday!

[Butterfly Spirit]

VERY Exciting Tink! :)

[dloui128]

How exciting Tink :)

[girlmom]

good luck tink. i really wish i would go soon but doctors keep stopping my labor. i know he needs more time to cook but omg hanging out at 5cm with a baby's head smashed on your cervix is no fun. :sad:

[dloui128]

Girlmom-you are doing awesome, I hope you don't have to wait to much longer

[Tink18]

Girl mom I am so impressed with you! I really think this might be some false labor. They are still coming on but nothing strong at all. I just dont have the feeling this is it. I am just going on about my day and doing what I do. I dont want to force anything especially since I am only 36 weeks as well. I would prefer for him to cook a week or 2 longer! We shall see. I will update if anything happens. Other then that I seem to be walking around contracting every 4-6 mins for the day! HOW FUN!

[Hobbermittens]

Tink, how exciting that things are happening already!! Good luck!! :)

Girlmom, hang in there! Michael is getting stronger every day. You are doing great! :)

[WashingtonPromise]

Tink: Wow, I agree a couple more wks would be nice. But 3 cm is awesome....better than starting at 1 and with your cx today I bet you will be more even more dialated by the time you do go into labor.

girlmom: I know it must be had for you to have your labor stopped. You have been going at it for a while and at 5 cm.....your a supermom for sure.

ELP: I think boxing is a lot of fun. Believe it or not my brothers and I use to haev friemds over and box in our basement when we were teens. You would never know it by looking at me, I look way too girlie now.


With Tink having contractions it makes me feel like I better get my butt in gear, I am just behind her. I almost finished the baby's curtain today and DH started painting his room. He kept saying, "You are going to have this baby early, we need to hurry." I will be happy with going to my due date, besides we have every weekend planned right up to my due date.

[ELP]

Its a great blue workout aswell!! But alas my poor lad has lost his 1st match:( But apparantly DH and my sons trainer are pretty pissed about it as they are sure he won easily, but at least the other lad left the ring with a black eye and a nosebleed and DS not a scratch, but the judges gave it to their local lad, my DS is a bit sad but determined to train harder, so onwards and upwards!!

[ELP]

girlmom - He's gonna be so worth all this discomfort very, very soon xxx

[Hobbermittens]

ELP, I would love to see your boys' boxing videos! Sorry your son lost the first match.... sounnds like he did well despite the other boy winning! And how lucky that Davey is sleeping through the night already--what a champ!

WP, hopefully your baby won't come before everything is done. Did you decide on a name for him?

[skrimpy]

It's has nothing to do with the gender. Im not happy because I still sick and I still feel the same way like before.About my weight the pregnancy 1 more kid starting all over ect. Only i don't post about it anymore because when I was looking for comfort or a friendly word or I don't know just something to make me feel better all I got is I must be depressed and go see a therapist. That did not help at all. I also kinda feel alone and left out .But that's ok. I can't help it if I don't jump up and down from happiness like I "suppose to" do.
So really Im just waiting every day to feel normal. Not even good just ok finally.
But thanks for asking :)

Flava hun, big hugs for you. I felt so similar during my preg with Honor. I wasn't really happy to be pregnant at that time and had a horrible first trimester. I gain so much weight with her too... it was my hardest pregnancy by far. I was so worried about her arrival and that the feelings would never go away and that I'd never lose the weight. But when she was born I was just so in love and she has been so wonderful, she brings me joy every day. And the baby weight came off, girl, I lost over 40lbs! Until I got knocked up again I was looking hot, LOL!!! Now DH says I already look pg again. Oh well. But you WILL get the weight off, even though you've had plenty of babies. It's so hard when you're pg and feel icky though. Just know that we know what you are going through and it will be over and you'll have your body back... plus a sweet baby!!

[skrimpy]

Tink - how exciting!!!!

girlmom - I have had that really strong cervix pressure with a couple of mine and it is not comfortable. Just remember that he's cooking and those little hands and feet are growing a bit more. It's tough but you're doing a great job and we are here to complain to!

[skrimpy]

So DH and I are calling the baby Riceball. Isn't that cute, LOL!!! I love my little Riceball already :p We told the two oldest kids about the baby and they're so excited.

I am going to go nuts with this moving stuff. We're taking stuff to a storage unit tomorrow so we can list our house we're in now... we want it to be more open and spacious. I can't believe how much stuff I've packed up. I packed up all the "non-essentials" from the kitchen to help the cabinets look spacious and organized and ended up with like 10 boxes! I love him so much but my DH is a huge packrat and won't let me donate stuff. Even if we never use it and he never cooks!! I've packed 30 (THIRTY) boxes of books!!! Most DH's. I love the man, but geez. We're taking the bookshelves and a couple of other pieces of furniture plus the boxes tomorrow.

I'm dreading that but can't wait to see the house without it all and once we get it nice and scrubbed. Really praying it sells quickly.

We close on the new house next Friday morning, and that's exciting. DH's mom is staying with the kiddos so that will be nice not to have to worry about them.

I also bought a little Doppler from a friend selling hers. I've wanted one the last few pregnancies but you know, they're not needed or anything. I decided I'd treat myself this time around though, and maybe help with bonding some :)

[Princess of Pink]

FLAVA - OMG woman you are too nasty...I have been hanging out waiting for you to get to 15-16 weeks and have an u/s to find out what you're cooking in there and you have known for weeks!! Out of everyone here YOU are the main one I have been waiting with my breath held to see how you went cause you are the only one like me with a lot of girls already AND previous failed sways!! I don't go on the due boards cause it's taking me forever to get pregnant and it's depressing!!

It's normal to feel so shit when you have bad sickness...My last pregnancy I was still vomiting daily at 39 weeks...makes it so hard to enjoy your pregnancy or be excited! As for weight there is nothing stopping you for doing a healthy balanced diet while pregnant. I did with my last pregnancy as swaying had made me fat....and I weighed the same as the day I got my BFP....the day I delivered...went home lighter for a change!!

Tell us PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE

ELP, I would love to see your boys' boxing videos! Sorry your son lost the first match.... sounnds like he did well despite the other boy winning! And how lucky that Davey is sleeping through the night already--what a champ!

Hobber! I've spent all this time trying to just get my boys fights from the whole shows line up itms!! I think I may have done it? I'll post a link in a while in the members section if you want to see them:) The clips will be from what is called a skills bout where there is no official winner, but they did so well, bare with me I'll be a little while longer!

[purplepoet20]

Skrimpy - We are packing for a move out of state but renting our current house. DH got upset when I started putting a bunch of stuff in a box that we haven't used in 5y's and that were replaced with something nicer. How many blenders do I need! My kitchen is not very big and so far I have donated 1/2 of it and packed up another 1/4 of what we don't use much and the cabinets still look full. I am thinking of setting fire to the kitchen and calling it a day!

Flava - Please Tell Us! I am so sad I keep crying for you when I should be thinking about my own scan tomorrow and packing.

[Hobbermittens]

Skrimpy, your DH sounds like me! :oops: I am such a pack rat, and I hate getting rid of stuff! Last time we moved, DH "lost" a few boxes, and he swears they are still in our storage shed, but I know he threw them out.

I love that you are calling your baby Riceball! That is really cute. :) Good luck selling your house--hope it goes fast! Clearing out stuff really does help; we did that when we sold our last house and it sold to the 3rd person who looked at it. :)

[Hobbermittens]

ELP, I will look for the video when you post it. :)
