Dreaming Pink Due Date Group: TTC and Beyond

Ugh so I started off a blue streak, didn't I? I am so sorry you didn't hear pink Ladybug and 3boys... but congrats also! I swear to you it does get easier... I had to stay off the net and not really focus on it... but it's been a month since I found out and I'm feeling much more optimistic about it all... those first couple of days are the hardest though. As the days go on, the dream fades and the excitement for WHAT IS will build :) Boys are awesome!

AFM, this baby has come alive this week! I feel kicking all day long now and it's so reassuring. It has made the GD fade considerably, and made me more excited to meet this little guy :) I wonder who he looks like!

Charlee, I'm soo glad that you're beginning to get excited about your little boy. You really are an inspiration, even though I know it hasn't been easy for you. In exactly a week I should know and I am really scared. We've had so much trouble with our second set of buyers, that I totally illogically linked the success of our house sale with hearing pink or blue. Completely stupid I know, especially as it looks like it's going to fall through. Kind of like equating opening a bag of crisps the wrong way up with having a bad day or stepping on the cracks on the pavement :(

It is what it is regardless of our house selling or not!! I am worrying about the baby because I've been under a ridiculous amount of stress with it all this last week. I'm so scared of my scan too!

Btw it's wonderful that you're feeling him kick now! Has Dh felt him yet? Do you have any names picked out?

Dh felt this one kicking on Sat & we could see my tummy popping away too!

Dreamof:i do the exact same thing with my driving, I'm convinced that my good luck on the road correlates with my getting boysLOL! I have never gotten speeding tickets or anything, so yesterday when I drove past a speed controll way over the limit(they were measuring the on coming traffic) I thought I might try to tempt fate and turn around and get myself a huge fine, and a girl.. How stupid does that sound?
Went to some friends yesterday who have a 7 day old pretty baby boy, held him and everything trying to get that good vibe I used to get with babies, but to no avail.. I'm cold as a fish..!! What is going to happen when this little one arrives? Have booked a screening test in a neighboring country as they are illegal here(!) am going on the 09.08.13.. Will tell the boys after I get the all clear. We are having wonderful weather, and my holiday begins tomorrow!! Boobs have normalized and can't feel my uterus yet(it goes backwards) so worried he is dead.. Always do think that about now.. Good luck tomorrow gecon:)

GeCon - GL at your scan tomorrow! So exciting, looking forward to seeing your pics. :)

Waiting4Daisy - I wouldn't worry too much about your sway...you have just as good a chance as everyone else!

Charlee - Baby movement has to be the absolute best sensation in the whole world. Nothing like it! YAY for little man letting his presence be known! :)

DreamofPink - I would look at it totally the opposite...if I was having a hard time with something, I would think "ok, time for something good to happen!" Hope that's the case for you...wow, 1 week, so exciting!

Mathilde - Where are you? Illegal?? Wow...that stinks!! Glad you were able to get a scan elsewhere. You keep calling your baby "he"...are you just trying to get used to the idea of another boy or are you convinced it's a boy for other reasons?

AFM - Exhausted. Yes, I know, broken record. LOL! Off to take a nap!

Thank you myrainbowgirl, what you said really makes sense!! It's helped me feel a bit better about things, I used to be so good at looking for the silver lining etc, but not this year so far. Keep hoping that the chin hair that's stopped growing for the first time since being pg with ds1 over 6 yrs ago means a little girl for me. I know it's an owt but can't help but hope. The LE diet slowed the growth right down but it seems to have ground to a halt.

Hope you're getting plenty of rest, the first trimester is so draining isn't it?!

GL tomorrow at your scan Gecon! :D

I commented on the other thread bu t just wanted to say here to both 3boys and ladybugs that we are all here for you to vent and rant at whenever you need. It doesnt make you any less of a fabulous mum to be angry and upset. I should know as i had GD bad when i found out that DS2 wasnt a girl and i am a totally awesome mum LOL!!!

I have been getting some insensitive comments from friends i was so excited to be seeing again. So many have said that i am mad, that i am too old and than i have committed career suicide having baby number 3. Hormones have made me take it to heart and question everything. The whole am i being selfish question is back in my mind and i have lain on my side looking at my bump asking myself whether i have made a mistake. I was so happy before we came back to the UK and tried so hard t get pg i cannot understand why i am reacting this way.

Sorry to be a bummer , just wondering how the rest of you deal with these sort of comments.

I am here....Emily.....I have gotten some of the same comments, but I really dread the ones from family and friends now that I know gender. I am feeling low tonight.

I'm airing for the 'you're mad' comments when people start to properly find out. I get them already because along with my awesome boys, I have a host of animals living with us! All are happy and well cared for so they can all shove it!
I don't care much for anyone's options on my life and neither should you, it's your life!

Emily, some people really need to engage brain before mouth!!!! That's shockingly insensitive and I'm not surprised you were hurt. I just don't understand how people think it's acceptable to comment like that! Just because they can't cope with a larger family doesn't mean you can't, anyway three isn't a huge number far from it. I get stupid comments a lot re the kids home education. One memorable one was from a public school educated man (very wealthy & successful) who said he wasn't clever enough to home-ed his son. Talk about a back handed compliment. Also another lady said that surely I could sit them in front of the TV all day couldn't I?!

If only people shut up & kept their opinions to themselves with regards to parenting it'd make family life so much easier! Keep your chin up and don't let the eejits get to you. X x

P.s I know they're your friends, sorry to do them down
