My dad was boy #5 in his family :) His parents then had one more... another boy.
Ahhh how special to have 5 boys!!! Amazing, congratulations to you all x
Aww blue! All you can do is show them how happy you are and how awesome you think 5 little boys are... in sure some of those tears were more for mommy cause they wanted you to have a little girl.. but since mommy is gonna be okay they will too :)
Congrats on your baby boy!!

Christmas is almost over here. I hope everyone had a nice Christmas, is still enjoying the day or is about to have a great day :)
We found out my BIL and SIL are expecting a baby in July. I know they just started ttc after her 40th so she must have conceived straight away... I did have a moment of why was is so easy for her yet it took me 18 months including 2 miscarriages but I know I should just be happy for them as I don't really want to wish that pain on anyone. Will be interesting to see if they have a girl or boy. They were "trying" for a girl but I don't think they specifically swayed or know about swaying. They have a boy already who is a year older than my first so it will be a big age gap.
Anyway, it will mean two new babies in the family next year after over 5 years (my DS2 is the youngest on that side) so that will be exciting.
Christmas evening in the uk, but wanted to wish you lovely ladies a very merry Christmas. It was this time last year I discovered this site and the dream started, it's been quite a year, thanks for all the support and hope you all have a fantastic 2017! X
I get these feelings as well, my silver is not very nice and she is currently pregnant. She announced that she was expected DD2 at a family gathering the night before I was due to be induced with ds2, 2 weeks after her scan. She then approached me to say she was sure I was gutted that dd was not getting a sister and how fortunate that she felt to be able to give her dd a sister. She is pregnant again at 41, no effort at all and I know this time she will have a boy and just be insufferable, I hope she has a third dd, I know,that is awful. She isnt particularly maternal or nice to her children and I think it's so unfair that life just seems to work out for her. She always adds significantly to my gender disappointment! XQuote:

My sister in law is due the exact same day as me she has a son already and i said from.day one that I will have another boy and she will get a girl. Then ramzis confirmed what I had said, its correct for me and she find out Jan 13th it will be a tough day for me if she does say girl...im telling them all tomorrow that we are having our 5th boy they are all assuming it will be a girl so I have to act like oh its fine we are only destined for boys we are not bothered about having a girl etc..finding out y2day took its toll i thought i was fine then found myself crying the rest of the day..i feel much better today and have pretty much chosen his name which has helped x merry Christmas everyone xxx
You are fantastic, but is natural that you would have some tears, when you hoped it was something and it was not. Sometimes I think my sadness is less to do with the baby and more to the end of a dream, but having other family members pregnant at the same time is a real bummer! To me it just heightens gender disappointment. I still have friends that don't know that am pregnant. I dont see them that often, I just at times am struggling with how I feel myself and am not sure how I will cope with comment about the gender, want to wait until am more in charge of myself, I cannot face others comments!

I remember last time she was pregnant she hated it so much and I had to listen to her complain about pregnancy when we were ttc our first but having issues. Although now having been pregnant a few times there is a lot to complain about so I can't really blame her too much :)
Purple you are a beautiful person and I just want to say reading your post (lots of your posts really) makes me smile.
My sister in law is 10 years older than my husband and she has always felt she raised him And her very own baby left her when he moved out of state to be with me.. so when she found out she was having a son of her own and not just a little brother anymore she was glowing and radiating such joy. I was so happy for her that my GD just couldn't rear its head.
Merry Christmas everyone.

What a neat bump! Am massive at only 20 weeks! XQuote:

Are you all eating heaps of a particular food? Ive started munching on ice every day, frozen drinks too which I never normally drink
I'm having the opposite problem cinss. Nothing sounds good. Struggling to eat period and have no appetite which IS weird for 2nd trimester me... bloodwork showed I'm low on protein and I am not really liking sweets or carbs ether. When I do get hungry it's usually for a good cheeseburger.
Had a pretty awful Xmas eve and Xmas because of my stupid uterine tumor degeneration! I loaded up on pain meds for Xmas eve because my brother, his wife and my nieces came over and I managed to have a nice evening....but that morning was TERRIBLE!!! This is the kind of pain where you cry and moan. It's awful.Quote:

I love seeing my son play with his cousins. That's most definitely why he wanted a sister and not a brother. His cousins are girls and his best friend who moved away is a girl. He's more used to girls and he prefers playing with girls.
He STILL wants a sister. And is still asking for one. It's so sad. He seems to be accepting that he's getting a brother and seems alright with it...
But, I really don't think things will pan out for him to get a sister. I'd only do HT for a third baby because I seriously don't want another boy. I feel awful for saying that and thinking that. As I love my son more than anything in the world and I already love my second and unborn son the same way. I just don't want three boys.
My husband LAUGHED when I told him how much IVF with gender selection costs. But, he's still not closed to the idea. Haha. I think he still really wants a daughter too. Deep down inside. If I am not overwhelmed with two boys and we could somehow afford it and my life and family feels incomplete, then there's still hope for a little girl. A very expensive little girl. Haha.
I hope everyone had a great Xmas. And I hope everyone has a lovely New Years Eve!

How are your iron levels? Low iron can cause a reduced appetite.Quote:

Sorry about all the pain Lissa :(
All blue, cute boys and boy bump :)
Purple-
HGB on the 26th was 11.5...low but they say not critical
RDW was 15% (high)
RDWSD was 48(high)
platelets are low
hematocrit was low (33.4)
RBC was low (3.77)
i feel like i should be more concerned about those numbers but how awful i feel and my doctors lack of concern makes it hard to care.
more importantly i had ketones (40) in my urine and protein.
My bilirubin is low too :/
Creatinine is low..0.52...
and my co2 levels are much lower than they should be even in pregnancy (imagining thats due to thryroid..)
Sodium was low but i think thats from puking. 135
I only gave this much information because i feel like i am missing something since i have horrendous brain fog..any of the fellow nurses want to chime in on if any of that makes sense as to why i feel like walking death, please inform me because my doctor isnt concerned at all...which means all my hope lays in the endocrinologist i see tomorrow morning.
I don't have much of an appetite either! It's SO weird! I was the exact opposite with my first son. I was shoveling food into my mouth constantly. This pregnancy I am queasy more often than not. Even at 20 weeks. I am super picky about what I want to eat and I can't really finish a meal. Sigh.
I don't really know what they all mean but I don't have a medical background!
My hemoglobin was in the normal range but my ferritin level was low.
HGB seems to be hemoglobin but mine was 118 so maybe we have different measurements in Aus as she said over 100 is good.
Ive been having weird dreams, I gave birth to a worm which was pretty discusting, and I caught my hubby cheating in another 😵Quote:

Rdw being high indicates a few things though.. it's either iron deficient anemia, Folate deficiency or b12 deficiency.. I genuinely don't know which..
Basically my entire blood panel suggests I am anemic but guess it's not concerning enough to treat..
I'm more concerned about the low bilirubin.. heart disease runs in my family. Also the ketones and protein because I think that indicates Pre E doesn't it? Or are those results invalid because of puking too? I only puked 3 times before I rushed to the doctor though and had the blood drawn and pee done..
I see my first endocrinologist this morning at 10...
Omg cinns those dreams beat mine lol.. I have just been having a ton of dreams about my water breaking. Less weird more vivid for me and my dreams don't normally pop out like that..
