Sun just checking how you are? everything still looking good? Still feeling sick???
sorry ladies i've had no time but am managing to keep up with you all, just not post much. Happy new year to you all!
Happypixi you look fab ! Very nice belly shot! You are tiny!!!
Meeks I'm doing great ! Still sick today and temps are way up. It's hard to excited after the miscarriage and all the chemicals but so far so good!!!
More belly shots please! I can't wait to get a belly!
Sun i'm so thrilled for you, keep up that RRLT and slowly wean off as per atomic's instructions (which I can't remember, but pm her to check if you don't find it). I totally remember feeling the same re belly, and being sooooo ready even for the sickness.
I love seeing the pics too, of bellies and newborns, so keep posting ladies. I love remembering what I have in store, and that my bubby is not far away...
36 days to be specific. Who's counting right? LOL, MEEEEEE I even have it on a chalk board for the kids to see and I change the number of days each morning. It helps them understand because after christmas they kept asking where baby was, since I told them she would be here after santa. oops!!
AFM I tell you what, despite the fact this baby has been a girl on every scan, I am still slightly freaked in case it's wrong, because we now have soooooo much girl stuff (given to us by friends who had their last girls/children) and I threw out loads of boy things to the op shop recently, that I wouldn't use. So it better be right or my kid is going to be the most femininely dressed boy in Australia!! haha. I have pretty much accepted that it's a girl and embraced it, but now feel like I tempted fate and it's too good to be true... surely there has been a mistake. Does anyone else feel this way?
My boobs need their own postcode these days. I went to buy ANOTHER new maternity bra, because all my previous ones dont fit, and the lady asked if I left enough room for when my milk comes in. NO I said, because this cup size (E) is the largest they go to in your store, so they'd BETTER NOT keep growing. haaha. I'm going to have to go to one of those specialty shops if they keep this up. The chest circumference is fine, it's just my boobs!!!
On the upside my weight gain slowed down, as many of you said it would. I've held fast for a number of weeks and even lost weight accidentally when I had gastro recently. So that's a plus. But I have spider veins on my legs now, which I never got with either of my first two pregnancies. Guess they match the stretch marks on my belly, lol. Did anyone have these disappear after birth? or is this my latest child bearing tattoo?
I am still working, for at least another 2 weeks I think. Which should leave me just over 2.5 weeks before baby. I hate that i'm having another caesarian but I will admit the one good thing is knowing when baby is coming, and being able to plan accordingly. Speaking of, I've not even packed a hospital bag yet so i'd better actually DO some planning or i'll be caught out!!
How was everyone's Christmas? We travelled around to see family, had family stay with us, had friends stay and finally my mum arrived early when I called her in a haze of tears and asked her to move her interstate flight earlier so she could come help, because I was so overwhelmed. I really thought the pregnancy card would get us out of travel and visitors this year but not so. Nobody seems to CARE what they ask of us, which is interesting. So next year i'm resolving to have Christmas at our place, on Christmas day and tell everyone to come. If they can't, too bad, we aren't going anywhere and we're not having visitors outside of that day. I don't care who thinks i'm a bitch. hahaha
Our plans for new years eve are *drum roll* NOTHING! Stay home, don't tell the kids its new years, and watch a movie on the couch, preferably going to bed at 10pm. hahahaha
Meeks.....I had only 3 scans that said girl before I was convinced....lol, 19w, 21w and 22w...the 25w and 28w ones cemented it in my mind, but I did not get rid of a single stitch of boys clothing in that time. Even now, I am just now parting with certain things....I have decided that I need to look through what my DS2 is done with and what I want her to wear then. I feel that I only get a certain amount of time to dress her the way I want too...just like I did with the boys. Just trust the scans....and countdown to baby arrival!!! Pack the bag!!!!
Sunflower....I am happy for you!!! A Christmas miracle in the best way....is it sinking in yet???
I am a big boob mess.....only one good sized nursing bra and the moment it gets clean, she pukes up on it!! In the wash again, and I bet that tomorrow before 9am, there will be baby spitup/projectile milk on it. Meeks...I totally get the bra issue...and wish that the engorgement fairy only would visit the ones who want the increase in size!!
I'm starting to get a bit wobbly on gender and wondering if it will come out with a penis... I only had the 20week scan to show girlie bits, though I saw for myself and she was a great sonographer (I hope!) I wish I could look again :/
Yeah I think it's the fact I have girl stuff in the house, something I'd never have dared do before, now it's here it's making the doubt creep in...
Pixi, you look so cute!! Love the pics. And that definitely makes me want to try a wrap for this baby!
Meeks, not long to go now!! I am sure it is hard not to have doubt, but that's your baby girl in there. Enjoy looking at all the girly things and get excited!! :)
Sun, still on cloud 9 for you!! What a blessing.
AFM, 12 weeks yesterday. I am calling the Dr. today to see if I can get a RX for the NT scan. Hopefully I can get in this week and get a good nub shot. Eeeeek! OH I pray my little girl is in there, as this is definitely our last baby. But most of all I just can't wait to know one way or the other so that I can move on. The waiting to find out is so hard! Luckily the first 12 weeks flew by with the holidays. Hoping the next two months until the gender scan go by quickly!
Christmas was nice, but exhausting. I am glad it's over! Way too many parties and too much running around, especially since I am still feeling nauseous and tired all the time! No big plans for NYE here. I think we may take the kids bowling in the evening, order a pizza, and then watch a movie as a family. I'll be lucky to make it up until 10:00!
Hope everyone is well!
Happy New Year, everyone!
I don't think any of you pg with girls have a thing to worry about. So exciting! I, on the other hand, irrationally wonder if it's possible for both Mat21 and an 18-wk ultrasound to be wrong! LOL. No, really, I KNOW he's a boy, but I want to take a second look at my ultrasound this Friday (getting one done to check fluid, as it got low around this gestation with DS3). I actually am very confident that he's a boy and that he is absolutely meant to be. I have learned so much with this pregnancy and through this whole experience with GD (only had it very mildly with DS3)...I KNOW that God is teaching me that I can't control everything and that HE is in control. If I have a girl, it will be because He makes it happen!
Happy New Year everyone!
myrainbowgirl, enjoy seeing your little baby again today.
3boys and Emily, any news on your little bundles?
How are the new babies and mummies and pregnant ladies?
I had a MW appointment this morning: Not much to report. Cervix is soft, but baby's head is still not engaged, which might not even happen before labour anyway according to the MW. So just going to have to wait it out for a bit longer....
Woohoo... and baby is now the size of a pumpkin. :)
No news yet:( I had a sweep this morning so hopefully in the next 24 hrs although my sister had two and she still went over by 10 days. I have never had a late baby before so this is all a bit new and irritating! I want to meet her so badly now.Quote:

Atomic...this was my short birth story! It has been 4 weeks and a day since we welcomed her into the world and she could not be a better fit for our family! The boys are so doting on her, my hubby calls her his angel and I am over the moon just cuddling her!!!!!Quote:

So happy you got your vbac with the MD you trusted, at the hospital that was closer to you! After all that worry about where you may end up, you deserved that perfect birth! Well, as perfect as birth ever is, when you are expected to get a melon out a hole the size of a banana. hahaQuote:

Still no baby and my hopes of a sub 4kg baby are getting less by the day. Midwife who did the second sweep commented "thats a lot of baby in there" today which almost made me cry as i had convinced myself the reason she was overdue was that she was smaller and not putting enough weight on the cervix. I am not the best pusher so was hoping for a easier time this time.
I have just noticed that even the baby in my ticker appears to have a double chin LOL!!! What's that about!!!!???
Oh I didn't know we were "neighbors" :wave: :)Quote:

Went for a 'Dating Scan' on Saturday (was more to check I was ok - I knew baby was well, but was a five minute in-and-out when I went to the hospital so didn't get to ask any questions, so went to check up on me as part of a private second dating scan) and we're having a BOY! DH and I are over the moon and can't wait to meet him. I love his little nose...

I don't think that's changing to a girl anytime soon...

Bunny, I have already congratulated you on your boy in the other thread, but I'll say it again. Little boys are brilliant, all the ladies on here will tell you that. And I agree, he is a very cute baby. Now onto buying some nice things for him. :)
Emily, fingers crossed your little lady will make an appearance soon.
As for me: I am officially more pregnant than I have ever been. By one day so far...
Does anyone know how 3boys is doing? Is she just keeping busy with her little squishy or is she still waiting?
I hope she comes out on time. Can really do without having to serve her an eviction notice! :wink:Quote:

Welcome kellbell, you can certainly join us. I hope it's been a smooth pregnancy so far and all is good at your first appointment in a few weeks. It's so hard to make the time pass at the start when you just want to know baby is ok. I paid for a scan at 7 weeks this time because I'd had 4 chemicals back to back and had read if you see the heartbeat at 7-8 weeks the chances of loss drop dramatically. Even waiting until then seemed like torture! I'm so sorry for your losses and hope we can help you through.
Come on baby GeCon that's just not fair! Maybe you and me can both have a baby tonight? Fingers crossed!!Quote:

Not a glitch, nor are you losing it - I was hoping Emily's baby came soon and was going to say the same to you but mucked up and sent a joint message as a reply to one person (if that makes sense). Sorry - baby brain! :oops:Quote:

Not a glitch, in my case baby brain, I wrote "you and EMILY" but it must have autocorrected to "you and ME"!Quote:

Can't believe it's time for more babies already, time is flying by!
Hi Kellbell! Hope everything goes smoothly for you :D
I had bloods taken today to see how my iron levels and blood count are, fingers crossed for me as if they're low they make a fuss about home birthing :/ I feel fine though!
Bought my birthpool, £20 mega deal from a friend! Clothes all sorted now, just need my nest building urges to kick in and get this house all spick and span ;D
Stalking Pumpkin.....:D

kellbell, if you let me know your due date, I can add you to the 1st post if you want me to.
We'll ladies just a quick update as it am not home yet. First she said one baby is 100% girl, she looked from each side and could clearly see labia and clitoris. Then she tried to get a potty shot and there was nothing between the legs but after looking for a couple minutes she wasn't sure. She didn't see a scrotum but now I am confused. Here is "her" potty shot, please let me honestly know what you think. Shouldn't we see 3 lines?
Attachment 16112
Don't have a potty shot of the other baby but it looked exactly like bunnys potty shot. No doubt that second baby is a boy!
Maybe it was just a bit early for the traditional potty shot, but if the doctor said she saw labia and clitoris then I would trust that it's your girl! Everyone thinks so in your ultrasound thread so far! So excited for you Pumpkin! Boy and girl twins will be so amazing! The best of both worlds. Congratulations!!
Pumpkin, I agree with TTCPink. Maybe a bit too early for the three lines. But the main thing for me is that there is nothing between the legs. I would think that this one is a girl.
Pumpkin - that pic doesn't look boy to me! Congrats on your sweet boy/girl twins!
Bunny - Aww, congrats on your little boy! Yes, boys are awesome! So glad you and DH are over the moon. :)
Welcome, kellbell, and congrats on baby!
I can't remember if I asked on this thread or the other, but has anyone heard from BeadinMom? She had 3 boys and was team green...can't remember when she was due. Anyway, just curious if any of you knew if she had her baby, and whether she got her girl or not!
AFM - Doing fine. Feeling fine, back is annoying me, so I finally stopped working out. I have started prenatal yoga (just a DVD), and it is really helping! Can't believe baby will be here in 5-6 weeks! Aaahh, so much to do!
This looks just like what I saw around the same gestation with my girl. The ob showed me and said girl but didn't tell me why so I doubted it. The following scan the tech showed me labia, clitoris and so on, then I believed it! Definitely girly!! My boys had the full package by then!!!!Quote:

AFM contractions have started so not long now i hope. Will keep you posted.
Woohoo, Emily. Fingers crossed this is it and your little one is well on the way. Looking forward to an update.
AFM: Nothing new to report....
Emily how exciting!! I will be stalking for an update. Hopefully she won't torture you too long :).
