LOL I am nubsessed too :P
Hey everyone. Happy Easter! We just got back from our little break. I swear we were almost carried away by mosquitoes, they were dreadful. I live in the tropics anyway, but this was insane. Still managed plenty of swimming and relaxing though.
Laughing, I will have to check out your pics. Not that I consider myself great with nubs, but it is fun to try.
I haven't told my boys about this pregnancy yet. I was planning to wait until around 13 weeks. We saw a friend who is pregnant yesterday and she is having a boy. I said to her that DS1 wants me to have a girl one day and DS2 wants me to have a boy (she doesn't know I am pg either), and then DS2 said, 'no, I want you to have a girl'. I told him I wouldn't be able to promise him a girl. I didn't add that I have done my best and the rest is fate! It is so tempting to tell them but I am pretty sure DS2 would tell everyone we came across and continually ask 'how long until the baby arrives'.
Flava, I am not surprised you feel so low. The m/s sounds awful. I only had it mildly for a couple of weeks, it has eased a lot now, and all of a sudden my whole mood is better. Have you been able to get any medication to help?
Peony-thanks. No meds for me because my stupid midwife thinks I need to use natural methods like sea-band and crackers. And go to acupuncture and things like that...really? all this don't help at all and I have 4 kids I have no time or money to have stupid acupuncture!
Happy Easter to you too. A question, how do you make fertility friend public, whatI mean is I want to show my chart on here but I can't seem to find out how :/Quote:

Hey ladies, DH is freaking me out a little bit. He keeps talking to my DS1 about how the baby's gonna be a girl and he's going to have a sister named Lillian. Am worried a lil bit because I dont want DS1 to get his hopes up (he does want a sister and not another brother) and also I feels like he's gonna jinx by saying the name aloud! LOL I am prob. just superstitious! On the other hand, I feel like he's finally settling into the idea of this baby could be a "girl" so I do like it as well.
On the other hand, I just really still don't feel that I could be so lucky to get a daughter. I mean, my sway wasn't even that great, so I keep thinking I'll still see a penis on the screen. I'm back to dreading my scan in two weeks instead of being thrilled and exicited (Don't you love moody pregnant women? LOL I go back and forth on this idea so much). I mean I stll feel the baby is a girl, but I can't believe myself, so therefore I keep talking myself into the fact that it has to be a boy....Mocha didn't you do this SAME THING??? It is certainly maddening!
The other thing is I do really like the name Lillian, what I don't like is how popular/common it is, I try to strive to pick names that are a little bit unique. Though my DH likes it a lot and it is BEAR to find names with him, and secondly, it woudl go with the names in our family already: Quinten, Evan, and Lillian
Doesn't that sound like it would fit in perfectly?
But yet if we really are lucky enough to be blessed with a girl, I don't know if I want her to be one of three or four "Lilys" in her class, you know?
Yes, auroara - I did that same exact thing. I'd let myself daydream that it might be a girl then I'd panic and stop thinking that it would only make my GD worse if I was expecting to hear girl. I was really going crazy that last week before my scan!!
I do love Lillian, but I think I already told you that's going to be my baby girl's middle name since it's also my mother's middle name and I want to name the baby after her somehow. DH and I decided on a girl name long before we had any kids - Sadie, after his departed grandmother. Sadie Lillian - does that sound ok? The problem is, in the interim we had other kids and struggled with naming them and now I'm not sure Sadie goes well with them. They're Sam, Evan and Ryan. Is it weird to have two 'S' names like in the family?
Just checking in to say I am still preg.... I will catch up on everyone when I have time later this week.
Hope all is good with everyone prego or still trying!
Hi pp - nice to hear everything's still going well!
I feel you gals with the name thing. We picked Fox Patrick for a boy and Isolde Violet for a girl (my DS1 is Tobin Douglas). My husband and I are only telling a couple very close friends. I made the mistake of telling my choices to my mom and she thinks they are so dumb. I hope she forgets in the months to come, haha. My MIL asked us outright what we picked and when I told her that we aren't telling people, she thought I was crazy and seemed sort of annoyed with me. Why do people try to make it their business? It's MY child. I'm not an idiot and I realize that kids can get teased over names. But I also realize that people are getting VERY open to different names these days...which makes me happy because I like "old" names and nature-esque names (obviously, hehe).
Folks are also being dumb about me not wanting to find out gender until birth. I keep telling them that we only plan on the 2 kids and I found out with my first, it would be fun to have that surprise at delivery!
