At least I THINK I remember her saying her scan is tomorrow! It's hard to keep track.
It's very hard to keep track lol I need a daily update lol... I have a terrible case of placenta brain with this baby! I feel like I'm going senile
Honey- Thank you we are all on the mend thank goodness. I'm so happy to hear you're doing well and looking forward to your new little one!
Oh and Thorz I've been meaning to tell you that I am in LOVE with your avatar pic! He is such a cutie! Is that your DS3? Also in another post you mentioned being on bedrest. I understand how hard that is and hope we can both hold off as long as we can, otherwise we'll be bedrest buddies lol. Do you mind me asking what sort of complications you've had?
I can't keep up with this thread!!
On family size - I always told DH that I wanted both genders and said that I would want 2 kids if we had a boy/girl but if we had two girls or two boys then I would want to try for a 3rd. DH wasn't down at all for a 3rd however, I pretty much wore him down over the last 3 years so he agreed to have a 3rd. I too feel a little guilty wanting a 3rd to try for a girl. If this baby was a boy I would never want him to know that we wanted a 3rd to try for a girl. I know if we were having a 3rd boy I would love him to pieces however, I would have a lot of GD to deal with. That is why I had a 15 week scan, I know I needed as much time as possible to deal with the GD before my 20 week scan (when everyone will ask if we are having a boy or a girl).
So we have a 4 bedroom house with a bonus/study/toy room. I was thinking about putting DS1 and 2 in one room, this baby in another room, which would still leave a guest bedroom but we might finish the basement and keep all the kids in separate bedrooms. I would like to put the two boys together but we don't have any solid plans yet.
Fish, looking forward to your scan tomorrow!!
Honey I am glad you are feeling better about having a boy and Southern I am glad that you are also excited about having another son!
Yep that is my dear sweet tornado DS3!! He is a year older than that now, but it's one of my very favorite pics of him!
Luckily my bed rest doesn't relate to the baby, meaning, it's not a complication that affects the baby too much. I was born with a mild case of hip dysplasia which doesn't bother me too much in my normal daily routine but when Im Pregnant my hip joints basically don't work and its excruciatingly painful (the hip joints have already started grinding and popping when I move or walk but it isn't unbearable yet). Not just that, a lot of the times they just give out and won't support my weight so i fall a lot. That is the real reason I get put on bed rest because it becomes a safety issue, I've fallen down a flight of stairs with every pregnancy! With ds1 it was a flight of concrete stairs that almost sent me into preterm labor and DS1 heartbeat was crazy for a while. Luckily everything was fine.
How about you, what causes bed rest for you?
Omg thorz please don't be fallin down any stairs this preg.... That's sooo scary!
Oh wow Thorz I'm sorry to hear that. I can't imagine how painful that must be and on top of it you can't take much for pain while preggo. Hope it isn't as bad for you this time.
For me my babies just always seem to think 29-30 weeks means time to come out and party lol. I've been to so many doctors and none can explain why that gestation is my "magic number" but I always end up in preterm labor. My u/s yesterday showed that my cervix is already measuring under where it should be and I also have a lot of contractions (BH and some more painful) but they don't get into a pattern yet. But who knows, this one may just shock us and stay until September!
Oh my I'm sorry! That's scary!! Sure mine is painful, but my babies aren't trying to come out! I really hope this one stays in longer for you! Unfortunately, mine gets a lot worse with each pregnancy that's why I would have been done at 2 if I had a girl! 4 is my limit!
