April/May/June 14 swayers...

Rosie: I liked your post for the witty sarcasm about flip flops...not the sickies :(

I really, really think a lot of folks are struggling will illness right now because of the crazy weather. I have two kids down with some weird mild-cold that is lasting forever. I actually had a little cry fest earlier because my daughter is sleeping SO.incredibly.badly that I am über frustrated and needing emotional space. I literally get 1-2 hours daily without her attached to me lately (that is in a 24-hour day, not a morning to bedtime one). My hubby is in the dog house because he just doesn't get it. And even when I try to explain how mind-numbing it is to be attached to a child so completely, he just acts like I'm over-reacting. Jerk face.

Sorry, tangent there. I'm sorry to hear you are sick again :( Im crossing my fingers that spring comes along soon. I'm really over the ridiculous weather of this winter. My head can't handle 60 degrees on Saturday and 20 on Sunday with 4 inches of snow.

Our weather has been the same, hotdogz. My boys have been sick weekly it seems.

Rosie I am so sorry to hear that you are sick again. I really hope that you start to feel better soon.
Hotdogz, that sucks, maybe when he walks in tell him you have to go somewhere and go for a walk or drive 30 minutes to an hour is great especially when you feel so frustrated.
Speaking of weather, it's going to be 60 here tomorrow. I have always loved winter but this year, she over stayed her welcome! Thinking about taking the boys to the park or zoo after I get off work.
So last night I was over my inlaws and they were showing pictures of when my youngest was around one, I said oh I miss that little baby. My mother in law says well we need another girl you can give us that and then you'll have a baby again. My sil (who has the only girl) starts clearing her throat really loudly and making all kinds of noise. It really ticks me off because she told me once that they have their grand daughter they don't need another. She is always trying to discourage me from having another baby, just recently this past weekend. I wanted to tell my mil I am working on it, but your other dil doesn't want me to. But I just kept my words to myself. I thought about that all night what my mil said, I love her so dearly we are so much alike and such good friends, I would love to give her a grand daughter she asks me at least once a month. Sorry for the long story that has nothing to do with anything, just thinking.....

Marriedmom, sounds like your sil is afraid you'll steal her thunder if you introduce another girl into the family - how sad is that? All grandchildren are treated equally and she's being so petty over this. Now I really hope you have a girl kust to get up her wick!
Sorry to hear you girls are feeling sick. it's that darn weather Roll on summer and we can get out and about and get a bit healthier.
Hotdogz, men can be so frustrating at times! Bet you'll enjoy the making up!!! :cool:

Well ladies I'm sad to say things have taken a downward turn and we're probably not going to be trying for another this year unless of course I get BFP come the 16th than it's taken out of our hands.
I don't want to bore you with the details but it's not our year tbh and I think the reality of this scare has made us reassess our situation and I'm putting far too much pressure on myself to do a perfect sway. Good luck with your sways and I give anyone my pink babydust who needs it. I'll keep you all posted about BFN or BFP but for now happy swaying.

Aw dreaminginblue, that's sad news. Hope everything is ok. If you need anywhere to talk to anyone please log in and say hello to us. We'll miss you here. Take care of yourselves and please keep in touch.

Thank-you Daisymoo, I wish it was different but I have a better understanding of Gender Swaying which is great and if/when we decide to go ahead again, I'll be heading back here in a heartbeat. I'll keep in touch as I said and I'll let you know what happens with the test. It's a difficult decision but I'm OK with it

Sent from my ME173X using Tapatalk

aww dreamin. I second what daisy said. You always have a home with us. Good luck with everything my lovely. Please keep us posted!

hotdogz- so sorry about DH, men can be a real pain. I am sorry your DD isn't sleeping well at all. Hopefully this will all be a distant memory for you soon. I agree that you need to get out! It is totally Dh's turn to take care of DD and the other kiddos! You deserve a break.

Thank's daisy, it's ridiculous and that's only the tip of the iceberg.
Dreaming, you will be missed,I agree with daisy, you cna always come back and talk to us.
Rosie, how are you feeling today? Better I hope.

Dreaminginblue :( huge hugs to you. I hope you are able to sort through things. Sending love.

Sent from my GT-N7105T using Tapatalk

Married- unfortunately I am not any better today. Maybe tomorrow!!??

Btw married I am in shock about your sil. The nerve of her. Wow, just wow. Please don't let her get to you!

Aw dreaminginblue...I'm sorry to hear that you need to wait for now, I know that must have been hard to decide. But I understand and I hope you'll keep us posted if you do decide to go for a boy in the future. Best wishes to you!

And Married...gosh. What a character your SIL is. I love, love, love hearing that you really like your MIL and want to give her what she desires. I always like stories like that because my MIL is a psycho (lol). But your SIL sounds like a real witch. And I really, really hope that you get to give your MIL another granddaughter. And I'm sure yours will be cuter ;)

Feel better Rosie! It's gotta head of of here eventually. Hopefully spring is right around the corner.

I'm not feeling so hateful today. This week has been brutal. I steam cleaned our carpets today...made me feel so much better. Lol. Between the headaches and the sick kids, I've gotten so little done that even small movements are good ones. And I cleaned out my kids closets, but that always makes me sad...they grow so darn quick :(

MarriedMom - I'm sorry your SIL is acting this way, definitely jealousy. I would ignore her tbh. I don't think those who have our DG's seem to appreciate how difficult it is for us especially when we're having to change aspects of our diets etc to hopefully get our GD.

Okay ladies, I have one week to get 100% better so I can start exercising again and still have 6 weeks with that and the diet. I guess it is a blessing in disguise that my cycle got all wonky and was pushed back two weeks.

A little off topic of the swaying but I took my oldest who is special needs to see his kindergarten school for next year today and ugh!! it is just awful. The school is tiny. I feel so sad for him. I know the way a school looks doesn't mean the education is bad but I can't help but think that. I wish I could win the lottery and move to a nice neighborhood with a wonderful school. le sigh.

Hi Rosie, gosh that's awful you don't like the school Are there any other schools in the area? How did you feel about the staff because if the staff are great then the school will be great hopefully Why not ask a few moms who sent their children there before and see what they thought of it. It is hard I know because you only want what's best for your kids.

Thanks ladies..... It sucks but it is what it is. I just tolerate her the best I can.

Hotdogz, lol sorry your mil is crazy, my mother is, I had to tell her to stop acting like a 5 y/o last week.

Rosie, I'm sorry you don't like the school that sucks, like daisy said, we only want the best for our children. Here's an idea, not sure if this will work for you but hey maybe it will. My closest friend whose son is autistic felt the same way. What she did was got him diagnosed, asked a few specialists what all services he would need, which was pretty much everything. She then took all the information to the SSI (?) office (I think that's what it's called, where mentally or physically disabled people can get assistance with out it being disability). She then searched our area for the best programs found apartments in that area. She was able to get financial assistance for him from the SSI office and she used that to move their family to a better neighborhood where he gets all the therapy and etc he needs free through the school. They even come out to the house after school if they feel like he needs more help. It's a really great school. I am not sure if that will help in any way but that's what she did.

Hi! Hope you guys don't mind another joining you..

When are you planning on trying? June
Have you started to sway yet? No, I plan on starting the diet April 1
Did you get a personalized plan or are you working on your own? I ordered a plan and I'm waiting to receive it.
Which gender are you hoping for? I have 1 DS (17 months), I would love a DD
Any concerns you have currently? I normally eat paleo (no wonder I have a DS!) so I'm freaked out about how difficult the LE diet will be for me. I'm also really torn on how to do our timing/frequency and whether to take supplements. Hoping the personal plan answers all my questions!

:welcome: blue

welcome Blue :D

Welcome Blue. I'm currently in a unexpected 2ww but hoping for a boy. Good luck with your sway and take my pink baby dust xx

Welcome blue bonnet! We can always use more mamas in here! We are having a ball chatting it up while we wait/plan.

Ill admit, I am goofily worried about something. I spend so much time on here guessing at nubs (and sometimes secretly guessing at ramzi method, although I know it's never as "certain")...I can't figure out how we will manage to be team green next time. I really, really want a surprise baby. But I'll basically have to avoid all early sonograms (to avoid ramzi thoughts and nub thoughts) and then look away in all later sonograms. And I just don't know I can handle not seeing baby for 20 weeks until the anatomy scan. :( Plus, I have this blood clotting issue that means they usually do more sonograms than usual. Bah. I kinda wish I hadn't gotten so skilled at picking out nubs. Lol. Now I feel like ill "know" right away. My only solution is to call at 10 weeks preggo and ask for an NT scan the following week, so it would be too early for a guess. The trick is to not go insane for those 10 weeks!! We have seen all of our babies several times by then in the past.

I'd like to go team green if I get a BFP next week. Hubby wants to find out regardless so if it is a boy we can be ready whereas I just think we could buy a few neutral outfits as we have lots of pink stuff from the girls

With each of my pregnancies I've wanted to hold out but never had the willpower. I'd love this one to be a surprise being our last baby. I would just be worried about gender disappointment :( Very recently I re-read my online mother's due in group and can't believe how devastated I was upon finding out I was baking another girl. If it comes to that, I don't want to be going through that after I have bub. I have a history of depression.

Sent from my GT-N7105T using Tapatalk

Boys I have a history of depression so I am worried about GD. Luckily I was fine with DD2 but I was devastated with DD1 but came round to it pretty quickly but how she was born left me feeling like a failure and I suffered PND for a few weeks after.
I think if next one is a girl, I'll not be disappointed. We have gone from only wanting one following DD1 birth to 3 following DD2 but that no. 3 scares me, boy or girl, we'll be outnumbered by LO's!
I have been spooked by a few recent sways/scans who were so sure they'd got their GD and are so sad about it not. We'll just have to remember we're making it more favourable for babies overall as I think the HE diet is better anyway and all the supps will be good for them anyway.
But I'm totally ready to be freaked out by boy bits everytime I change him!

Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

I'm pretty sure I had PND as well. When DD#2 would wake through the night for a feed my ex would often find me crying well after the feed was finished. No reason to be crying. I even cried while still in hospital with DD#2. Every time my ex went to leave.

So with the SSI I was under the impression you had to apply for disability to get that. We applied for disability with DS1 and got turned down. Maybe there is another way to go about it??

Welcome Blue!!

Hotdogz- I understand your worries! It is easy for me not to get caught up in nubs because I never get an ultrasound before 20 weeks unless I pay extra. I did get one last time to date and it was in the ramzi time period but she never told me how she took the picture so I couldn't guess from it.

Dreamin- feeling anything symptoms wise yet that may lead you to believe you will get your bfp??

As for me, I am still sick but on the mend. Still much to sick for the gym so I am trying to figure out if I can still get enough exercise time in before ttc.

Rosie, what if you buy yourself some weights? I hope your illness buggers off asap.

I honestly have no clue, I'll have to ask her

So ladies, I was going to buy a plan, dh doesn't know about me swaying, but since the account was hacked twice in the last year he is watching it like a hawk, so I am left to make my own plan unless I go open another account. We have 5 between the both if us so I am over having bank accounts to watch. Anyway, I was wondering if any of you are taking cinnamon or a cinnamon supplement? I heard a few women talk about it a while back. I was just wondering. Thanks!

I don't know tbh. Lower backache and sharp twinges & mild crampiness in the leftside, achy boobies, hungry all the time and v.irritable. I've been tracking them so if it's BFN I'll know in future these maybe typical AF symptoms.

How's things dreaming? How are you feeling Rosie? How are all our other lovely ladies?

Sent from my GT-N7105T using Tapatalk

Hubby has banned us from buying anymore HCG's till next Monday when I would've truly missed a period. I have given him today but tomorrow I may just break that. Though his reasoning is that he wants to purchase a bigger to accomodate 3 child seats. So I'm OK with holding off and does seem kind of silly to keep testing and not believe a negative till AF so makes sense, just impatient. Still have twinges on the left and hungry but otherwise OK.
Hoping it is BFN just so I can get a chance to get a good sway before TTC but shall see.
How's you Boysway?

Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

Rosie, she (my friend) that you don't have to apply for disability to get SSI.
Boysway, I am doing well how are you?

married---hmm wow, I guess I will have to look into it more, thank you! We really could use it.

So I think I have decided to stop tracking my fat and protein. I am going to focus on just eating different than I did so still no meat and less snacking and less treats so I will still have less fat but I need to stop stressing over every little gram...it is really getting to me. I do plan on watching the calories which isn't hard to do without an app and I naturally eat less when I don't snack and eat big meals like I used to. My biggest focus is of course less calories, no snacking and getting that low blood sugar period. Of course when I am better I will restart my exercise too.

How is everyone else doing with everything??

My phone swallowed my last reply. I'm feeling increasingly irritable. AF is due Sunday and hubby has banned me from buying anymore tests till Monday. I was out this morning and managed to forgo buying more but I don't know if I can holdout. I'm not sure if I'm more agitated waiting or because AF is rumbling away, getting ready to make her appearance. Or because of lack of a good nights sleep. Gah wish I wasn't symptom spotting! And I realize testing this early is a waste but I was hoping any HCG present might leave a faint BFP. Least if it is just AF I'll know what to expect. Feel so out of touch with my body :(
