Part 4: Due December 2017, January, February and March 2018

Thanks blue & Ash-thinking girlie positive thoughts!!!! Nervous that I will hear so soon eeeek!
Blue-sounds like you're one of the lucky ones who get to enjoy pregnancy without feeling sick!! I do love the Doppler though, it makes me so happy to hear the heart beating away! I freaked in the beginning when I couldn't find it though lol.
Srg-hope you get some energy soon! How old are your other kiddos? It's not easy being Mom & preggo! My 2 & 3 year old constantly want attention so that is so draining on top of pregnancy!

Lola good luck at your appointment today are you finding out gender today or having your first glimpse of baby? Xx

Ladies- the results are in!
We had our anomaly scan yesterday and I can say I'm definitely having a little boy...happy he's healthy but just wondering when I'm going to get one this exhaustion and sickness. I'm 20 weeks and still having aversions and feeling rotten after eating certain foods/smelling smells ��

Congrats Mum! Happy to hear it's a healthy baby boy [emoji170]& no more confusion!
Thanks everyone for thinking of me this morning! I was in a rush getting the boys settled with DH before heading off to my appt. The appt went well with very intense genetic info. Didn't do an U/S. I did the Counsyl test instead of MaterniT21, which he said is pretty much the same test. They send the bw off to California, then he will call me with results in 7-8 calendar days. Eeeeek, I could know next Tuesday!!! I'll have my phone by my side all next week!!! Praying so hard for healthy & pink!!
Ash-your appt is this weekend right???? Ahhhhh so excited for you!!! [emoji1374][emoji175][emoji166]

Mum of four monkeys - congratulations on your beautiful boy!

Great news Ash! These next few days are going to crawl 😭 four more sleeps!!

Lola 🎉🎉 for bw done 😀 and 7-8 business days eeeeeeekk!!!! Cant believe you'll be finding out completely out of the blue (as in any time that day) I think we'll all be sitting on our phones waiting for you update those days 😂

Kat and Sky how are you ladies? Haven't heard from you both in awhile :) Sky hope the ms hasn't gotten too bad. Drop a line when you can even if its just to say 'uurrgghh'.....

Called my ob today because this sickness is getting out of hand. They basically just said unisom and b6. Dramamine or Benadryl and make sure I eat something small every 1.5hrs. If that doesn't help them we will talk something more. [emoji20] I have thrown up my breakfast today and 5 other times in the last 3 days and have had a massive headache every afternoon for the last three days. I've done/have been doing nothing different! And tomorrow I have to go suffer through a cookout with dh friends and kids when he won't even be there [emoji31][emoji31]. Ok whining over I'm better now


[emoji170](07) [emoji170](09) [emoji170](14)[emoji170](15) 🤰 and dreaming [emoji177](18)

Ash if you're feeling sick tomorrow just cancel on the cookout! Your dh friends will understand. It's awful you're still so unwell and hope one of those suggestions they gave you helps xxoo Bring on anti nausea medication otherwise!!

I was swaying girl lol

I wish I could cancel but they've already rescheduled for us once and I feel bad. I'm trying to look at the bright side hopefully it'll make the evening fly by so I'll be one day closer to finding out what baby cakes is!


[emoji170](07) [emoji170](09) [emoji170](14)[emoji170](15) 🤰 and dreaming [emoji177](18)

Oh good news ash :)

Awww that was one of my names for ds1 'babycakes' ❤❤❤ and I even call ds2 that between the moo moo's and mamoosies 😂 My more common one now for them is 'loveheart' ❤

Sent from my SM-G900I using Tapatalk

Ash-great news!!! I can't wait for Saturday!!! Sorry you're feeling so bad-I'd totally cancel, but like you said maybe it'll make time fly!!
Pbn-the specialist said calendar days, so that's counting weekend days too!!!! I could know as soon as soon as Tues eeeeek!!!!! It's going to be so hard to concentrate next week knowing I can find out any day by a simple phone call! Crazy!!!!

Calendar days 😀😀😀 omg Lola!! And yep you are totally going to be a space cadet for the next week 😂 how do you feel about finding out from one second to the next??!! I'd need it written on a bit of folded paper so I could start to open then close it a hundred times then eventually get it open enough to see what it says through my squinted eyes and half looking away head 😂😂😂

Sent from my SM-G900I using Tapatalk

Lola - wonderful you are in the countdown now! Can't wait to hear!

Ash - so sorry you are so sick. I am still taking 1/2-1 Unisom a night. I tried to not take one the other night and woke up 3am sick as could be. :( So I am still taking it. Ugh. I feel for you.

MO4M - Sorry to hear that it was confirmed blue - but so happy that you have a healthy little boy on board! I know what it is like expecting boy #5. It can be overwhelming at times.

AFM - still the same, sick most mornings and just chugging along. We are having issues with our 6 yo. He is acting out like crazy. He has started throwing hour long temper tantrums in daycare and throwing shoes and today upended a table. I am at a loss of what to do with him. :( Any suggestions? Also, at home, the play room has a TV and we have instructed that certain shows are off limits. Well, every time we leave the room he turns on these off limits shows. So I took away the TV. He hooked it back up and started watching again. What should we be doing? It is getting so frustrating. Especially since the younger ones are being punished too because of the older one. :(

Pbn-it's such a weird feeling knowing that just a simple phone call will give me results & no turning back after that! Ignorance is bliss sometimes. I've been playing the scenarios over in my head thinking of my different reactions. Having it written on paper to look when I want is more ideal, BUT I don't want to be in suspense any longer, so I'm just going to let him tell me how it is!! Hearing all of the statistics for my age was unsettling, so praying for healthy first, then channeling all of the girlie pink vibes!!! The genetic specialist was very friendly & he made a statement that prompted me to talk about gender and I *may or may not* have told him that I swayed for this baby [emoji12] I never discuss it with anyone & especially not medical professionals, but we had an interesting convo about it! I'm pretty sure he thought I was nuts lol & he thinks it's all baloney, but he said at least I gave it my best shot. He told me that his sister has a body builder husband & have 3 girls, really wanted that boy! I told him that I believe it would have helped more if she was the body builder and a number of other factors in combination. I'm hoping that I'll prove it's not baloney & he can learn something new [emoji12]🤞🏻[emoji1374]

Shann-sorry you still aren't feeling well!! I barely know what to do with my 2 & 3 year old tantrums, so I am no help with a 6yr old tantrum! I would say, consistency is important & a lot of children are motivated more by rewards than punishment. He is old enough to understand rewards for good behavior & consequences for not behaving. If he has a good day for a full week, then maybe he could get a prize at the end of the week-something he really wants like a toy or going to the waterpark, out for ice cream etc. If a full week is too long of a stretch, maybe he needs a tangible reward each day he is good at daycare, maybe a sticker on a chart, then prize after 5 stickers at the end of the week. Just a thought, but I know that could be a challenge when you have 3 other kids in the picture who are behaving & I'm sure want rewards too...maybe it could be the whole family goes out for ice cream or the whole family goes to the water park etc as a reward. Ok, think I'm rambling lol sorry!!

Ash ask for zofran or reglan. I have tried both with my first 2 and they helped. I hope u feel better soon.

🎀 2010 🎀 2012 🎀 2016 🤰due 2018

Shann maybe sit down and talk to him. There must be a reason to his behaviour. Then positive enforcement/prizes then ignoring all together ( maybe he trying to gain attention ) and if all fails a counselor can help

🎀 2010 🎀 2012 🎀 2016 🤰due 2018

Ash-I second blue with the Zofran. I was prescribed it when I had a bad stomach bug (not pregnant) & it worked wonders for the nausea! It made me a little sleepy though.

Shann when does he start school? Is it next year? I agree its not fair on the others if the punishment includes them 😕 as it could create division amongst them causing even more problems. Can you separate him and send him to a room or area in the house that offers little play things when he's misbehaving? Make it clear he understands that his behaviour is not appropriate. Take away his favourite thing especially if its an electronic device or something similar and have him earn it back by behaving appropriately, I tuink that earning something back through good behaviour is a better lesson learned then earning a reward as such (sorry Lola, I don't mean to dismiss your idea at all ❤ it's just a different take on it). It would need to be banned for a few days at least for it to sink in and you'd have to follow through and not cave earlier then what you've stated it be banned for. I was only just talking to my ds1's teacher aide this morning about how kids behave in a manner these days that I never would have even thought of doing when I wasa kid. My ds1 has an issue with authority and his talking back and/or questioning me can get way out of hand. We are working on it but bugger me if it isn't the hardest and most frustrating thing I've dealt with 😂😂

And yes! As bluebooties said see if you can talk to him about why he is behaving in this manner as there is often a reason why

Awe mumofmonkey - sounds like you are ok with hearing boy? Do you have 1 girl, 3 boys?
Pbn - thanks for checking! I'm ok! Have good moments and bad, hoping it eases around 12 weeks but I probably won't be that lucky [emoji23] I'm pissed right now bc our air upstairs is out - just shoot me. All our bedrooms are upstairs so we get to sleep on couches and kiddos on the floor tonight - fun times!!
I'm telling work tomorrow I'm pregnant. I usually wait until 12 weeks but too many people know and I just want my boss to hear it from me. I'm not sure what her reaction will be, definitely surprised. I'm sure she thinks we're done. Just heard the heartbeat. Best part of my day!

Ash - if the unison/B6 doesn't work for you ask for the prescription! It's time released and has worked better for me than the over the counter combo! So sorry your sick! I'm going to be shocked if this is not your girl!


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ash I agree with Kat. The Diclegis prescription has been a lifesaver. To the point where I quit it a few days ago and just about died so had to go back on it. I really thought I was naturally just better but I'm not. So it's working. The nighttime dosage totally makes the morning better. My doc loaded me up with samples. See if you can at least get some samples of it to try.

Dreaming - I'm scared I'm going to be on this for life [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] Too scared to back off. Will try closer to 15 weeks probably!


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Me too Kat! Like I'm permanently ruined and will never be back to "normal"!!! But just remember the sheer relief the moment your baby exits your body. It may be the most relief I've ever known. [emoji23]
