Thanks Gecon, how are you keeping? Life with a newborn is just fine, Isaac's slotted in no problem! Honestly going from 2-3 takes a little more thinking in these early days, but is pretty good. Once I have Isaac on a routine next month, things should get easier. It's our house which is causing all the problems as we have no hot water or central heating right now. Our boiler gave up the ghost last night. Thank goodness we had our woodburner put in the day before I went into labour. It sounds awful but Christmas is a bit of an inconvenience as we need to get the boiler sorted but I'm not sure if we'll manage to before next week! :hair:

So...... My little girl arrived!! On her due date. I had a perfect and very fast water birth, it was amazing. I am so totally grateful for everything and feeling utterly in love.
I still can't believe she is a girl, its so strange seeing girl bits rather than boy bits and I've accidentally called her 'he' a few times.
What a journey, and a dream come true! X
Tree, congratulations on the birth of your little girl. And welcome to the world, little Mini-Tree. Sounds like you had a perfect birth. Are you back at home yet? Any chance of some pics of your little lady?
Huge congrats tree! Aww I always wanted a water birth, great job!
Hi everyone I am due on July 28, 2014 I hope you will let me join. I have two sons and tried to sway for a girl my last attempt. I hope everyone has a great day!
I'm back home yes. I don't know how to post pics!? And for some reason can't even see other people's...
Congratulations Tree!! :DD:
Hi ShellBell! :welcome: I am due July 13th, and also have two boys and swayed girl. And I am from Indiana too!
TTCPink have you been to doctor yet? I finally go next week I will be 9 weeks. I feel that is pretty long to be seen but I didn't know if that was a new thing or not.
Crikey!! Yes I've had some similar advice, I saw an acupuncturist friend today who gave me some treatment with ax and wrote me prescription for Floridax, I'm guessing a similar natural iron supplement.Quote:

Between a tablet and a new laptop, I could not post much...bad keyboards and photographs that would not load. She is a great baby and in the 97%.... not the 3%!!!!!!!! Perfect other than the kidney and bladder..... but she pees just fine :-) as on me..more than either boy did.
She is amazing Ladybug!! Sooo cute :) What I wouldn't give to buy a flowery onesie! :)
Congrats Tree! I am so happy for you to have a great delivery and have everything go smoothly :) I can't wait to see pics :)
Dream - I am severely anemic also ... UGH. I can't stomach the iron tablets so I've been trying to eat lots of iron rich foods but it doesn't seem to he helping. My hair is starting to fall out by the handful! I guess this is probably great for a pink sway but I'm not too sure how soon (if at all!) I want to TTC again. How are you feeling about all that?
Ladybugs she is beautiful. So glad it sounds like her health issues are minimal, and treatable? Does she need surgery?
Dream and Charlee I am anaemic too but luckily tolerate the iron tabs, have heard good things about the natural alternatives though.
AFM I have had horrible upper stomach pain, nausea, and barely eaten or slept in days. Off to the big city tomorrow for some blood and urine tests, and an ultrasound to see what's going on. No idea what it is but would really love the pain to go away. Still getting good movements but the pain ebbs and flows and when it's bad I can barely stand or speak, when it's eased off it's still there constantly niggling. Never had this in pregnancy before...
Aww, she's absolutely gorgeous, I love Ladybugs. Love her little button nose! Enjoy her xQuote:

Meeks, sorry to hear you are not feeling too well. Hopefully you will get some answers and feel better soon.
Bunny, how are you feeling?
AFM: I am officially 36 weeks today, which is a relief as it means that should the wee man decide to come any time now, all going well we should be able to go to the local hospital. Seen the MW this morning. All is well. Wee man is head down, but not yet engaged, which is apparently normal for subsequent pregnancies. Let's see if we can make it to the next MW appointment on the 3rd January. And according to my ticker he is now the size of a honeydew. Not sure I believe the ticker as he was the size of a pineapple a few weeks ago, which to me is bigger than a honeydew...
Hello trimester 2!
I know I shouldn't be able to feel much at the moment, but am certain I can feel baby move. Not kicking, etc. but I have felt him/her move from the centre of my tum to the side. Tummy finally looks like I have a little baby in there - if I wake in the morning on my back there's a little bulge below my naval line which started on Tuesday. My stomach used to be completely flat when I woke.
Last half day at work tomorrow before breaking up for Christmas, then scan on Monday morning - looking forward to this one. Hoping LO is a little more cooperative than last time as bubba's granddad is coming to the scan. So excited!
I'm not too bad thanks, GeCon. Hoping all is well with you and your little men. Still eating for one but wanting to sleep for two. Looking forward to Monday's scan. Will be 13+4 so may be able find out which one it'll be. Still thinking I'll hear boy, but for right now I just want to make it to term relatively worry free and have a healthy happy baby.Quote:

Had a look on thebump.com at what my little peach should be doing for the week and wondering how far out I am from my actual due date. I guess I won't find out as such until they measure at my 16 week scan, right?
Congrats, Tree!
Aww, Ladybugs, she is gorgeous!! Do they think she will need any treatment or repairs? So glad she's doing so well!
Meeks - yuck on feeling badly. Hope they figure it out quickly!
Bunny - Woohoo on 2nd tri! Looking forward to seeing more nub pics!
AFM - Doing ok, feeling pretty good. Emotionally have had a rough week. The boys have been HARD, and I really had a bit of a breakdown yesterday, thinking I am not ready for another, and certainly not another little boy. BUT, took them all out today to get haircuts and then to lunch and ice cream, and they were actually very good. I just looked around at all of them with their adorable little hairdo's, and thought that I am so blessed to have each of them. God knew I couldn't handle another rough day, I guess! Still nervous about TTCing again, but know that He won't give me what I can't handle. Trusting Him! :)

I didn't go to the doctor until 9 weeks either. It was supposed to be 8 weeks but then they had to reschedule. The nice thing about it being a little later was that I was able to have a little ultrasound in the room and we were able to see the heartbeat. It was great for peace of mind.

Meeks, were they able to determine what was causing all of that pain for you? I hope you are feeling better!
Bunny, yay for second tri! Hopefully some new found energy will come to you soon. I remember feeling so much better around 13 weeks with my last two pregnancies. Hoping it happens again. I have been feeling terrible...migraines and nausea, and just plain exhausted. Never had much sickness at all with the other two luckily. This is no fun!
Charlee, I am enjoying keeping up with little guy through your pictures on FB. He is so precious! How are the big boys doing with the adjustment?
Rainbow, I have had a rough week with my boys this week too. I have been so frustrated and don't know if they are being that much different or if it's more me because I have been so sick and tired that it is hard to have patience.
GeCon, wow you are getting so close to meeting your new little man! So exciting!!
Ladybugs your little one is so gorgeous!!! Keep the pics coming.
Bunny I am right behind you, 2nd Tri starts on Sunday, yayyyy. I experienced the same thing with my belly last night. It came out of nowhere I swear. The day before it was completely flat but last night I put my hands on my belly while I was sleeping and woke up because it felt so different. Here is the proof:
Attachment 15786
After getting some boy/boy guesses on my nubs it came to my mind for the very first time that I really could be carrying two boys and I started to panic. I know I don't have to explain it to you guys, there is nothing bad at all about having boys it's just that I would love a daughter as well. I wanted to talk to DH about my fears and was so surprised when he got mad at me. He didn't get that at all and said I am not being grateful. After all we've been through I should feel blessed to be carrying twins but no matter how often I explained to him that I am over the moon happy he didn't get what this is all about for me. BUT when I said I believe I could be carrying two girls by looking at the nubs he said "no way, at least one of them has to be a boy." So why can he wish for a certain gender? I still think it's either b/g or g/g but the thought of 2 boys is somehow scary.
TTC I am sorry you are feeling bad but it will get better soon. You are looking awesome. I love your Christmas Card and you guys look sooo happy and always glowing! Will you have an NT scan?
Meeks do you know more by now? Did you find out what's going on? Haven't heard from you since yesterday, hope you are doing good!
GeCon it's crazy how time flies by. I remember how the two of us were line guessing on our HPT's together and now you are only a few weeks away of holding your precious little boy.
Myrainbowgirl - I completely understand you getting overwhelmed! I had a moment like that too recently where the older boys were acting up and I just KNEW people were watching us thinking "and she's got another tiny one?!?!" LOL... I freaked out for a min, but then decided to say FORGET THOSE PEOPLE! Kids act up, and boys are a handful to boot so its not going to be all roses all the time. You are correct about God giving us only what we can handle and I truly believe we are such good Moms to boys that he trusts us with this many!
So you are going for #4? How long after delivery are you thinking about TTC? I am still so up in the air about it... this last pregnancy and delivery were very difficult for me and recovery hasn't been a cakewalk either... but I can't shake the feeling that I'm not done yet! I won't TTC until I am ready for another boy though! LOL
Sorry, *going for #5*... I've been obsessing about 4 kids as you can tell! LOL
TTCPink - The older boys are doing really well with the baby actually! I think waiting so long between pregnancies was a really good thing for us. They get a little impatient if they want/need something from me and I'm busy with baby though, but they're adjusting :) My 8 yr old is definitely more excited about his little brother, but my 6 yr old is doing good too :) All in all I couldn't have asked for a better transition!
Meeks - how are you feeling? Did you get any answers from your Dr appt? Thinking of you and hoping all is well!
Pumpkin - if there are any group of ladies who understand the fear of having all boys, it's this group! Haha... but I promise you will love them to pieces even if that is the case :) I really believe you have at least one girl in there though... those nubs looked different from one another, so no matter how you look at it I don't think they are the same gender! But, it they are both boys then you can come cry to us, because so many of us understand that initial letdown! Keeping my fingers crossed for you :)
Pumpkin....one of those cuties just has to be a girl!!! I am not a nub guesser, but even to me the nubs look different, so it would truly shock me if they were both the same gender. For the 4 weeks that I had been told boy to finding out that she was a she...I realized that I was saying bye to the dream of a mixed gender family as our number was 3 max. I feel for you that your hubby did not understand.... lots of hugs!!! I still think that one of those mini pumpkins is going to be pink though.
Bunnywabbit....yay for being through 1st tri! It always felt the longest as the biggest highlight of it is near the end being able to hear the heartbeat....2nd tri always flew by for me. I hope that your upcoming scan is a great holiday treat....seeing baby in all their cuteness sounds like a wonderful present!!!
Myrainbowgirl..... (((hugs))) My boys, despite how great they have been with the new baby, are pushing their limits the closer it gets to Christmas. I blame my hubby....lol, that gingerbread house/icing sugar creation has been spawning 2 of the most "excitable" boys!! I hope for your sake your newest little man is MELLOW!!!
Charlee...I do think that with having older boys and now a new baby, it is so much easier than those who do add to their family closer together. My oldest has already been asking for number 4....
Gecon...36 weeks was my big aim too...I really wanted her here with my MD and not be forced the hour away in the less than optimal setting of the larger hospital. You are so close to meeting your new little guy.....it is going to be a great new year!!!
Meeks...so that is not cool about the pain...I do pray that they were able to determine what is causing it!
Emily...are you in the UK? Is that little baby here?????
AFM....thanks so much about all the comments about little Larissa! We are smitten by her....and so thankful that she is in the 97%...not the 3%. The u/s pushed back the visit to Vancouver to the 3 month mark, so I take it that they are not as worried as initially thought, but I don't know if it means surgery or not. For right now, I am just taking it one day at a time and making sure I cuddle her as much as I can.
Hello ladies!!!!!sorry Have been awol - i was staying with my parents who do not have internet so only managed the occasional FB over the last 3 weeks. i saw that Charlee has had her gorgeous little boy and got very broody which is weird for me as Normally think newborns (even my own) look like scrunched up aliens!!!! Belated congrats Charlee.
AFM i have now moved into my temporary flat and my husband and both boys are here too:) no baby yet but loads of increasingly uncomfortable BHs.
Right off to read the last three weeks of posts!
Morning everyone! Hope you're all well ;D
Love seeing all these squishy pictures <3
I'm officially n maternity leave now and starting to feel nesty! Looking at the kitchen thinking it would look great purple! Haha! Got loads of baby clothes given to me that I need to sort through, exciting!
Hope you're all geared up for the big day next week ;D
Thanks ladies, you are awesome!
Ladybugs so glad to hear Larissa is in 97%!! Can't wait to see more pics, she really is a cutie!
Emily good to hear from you. Not long to go :).
I watched a video of baby B today I haven't uploaded and found something that's looking like a potty shot to me. Is it too early for potty shots to be accurate?
Attachment 15800
Charlee I love seeing all the pics of little Eddie, he is perfect!!
Too early for potty shots, here's a website to obsess over like I did!
