Awesome Mrs., congratulations you must be so excited :)
Hope you get your gender scan Mrs. I!! I am getting one this Friday. I asked DH for it for Mothers day:) Hope we get some good really clear shots.
Peebell I am so glad that you are happy about having two boys. I really think you will love it. Maybe you can convince DH to go for #3??
So I have been killing myself making this cake over the last couple of days. This is for a friend of mine. Her little girl just turned 5 and she has always had me do her birthday cake. This year of coarse the theme was Frozen!!

Wow that cake is amazing! I'd love a slice right now, ha! Actually make that a whole tier, haha
We'll stop at 2 for now, but aomething deep down tells me that I'll want to go for number 3 once my baby is about 4 or 5. Not rushing into it next time.
That is what we did too Peebell. I really started getting the baby itch when DS2 was about 3 and by 4 I couldn't take it anymore... wanted another baby!! I started working on DH when DS2 was 2 though cause I knew it would take forever for him to agree. I really do love having two boys even though they can get a little crazy.
Another amazing creation wanting!! Xx

A GF of mine has had 3 babies all under 2 years apart, and it just looks a bit hectic for me. I'm not the most patient person in the world and if I were to have three busy boys like mine is, then It'd make me waaaaaay too tired, haha!!
Thanks Wanting, I'm expecting o be busy with two young boys, but a lot of my friends have 2 boys close in age and they are all so close to each other, it's really gorgeous.
Peebell my older 2 boys have a 25 month gap and my middle/youngest about an 18 month gap. They are all so close! This new little one will be probably a 16 or so month gap from the youngest. My older two are the best of friends and do everything together! Also I have been totally MIA lately. First we had a stomach virus go through the house, then a busy week of work and my husbands birthday, now a nasty cold has hit everyone except my DH. I also put in notice with my full time job and decided to go back to being a SAHM for awhile. Starting in July. I have an online job that pays pretty good so I really don't need the work outside of the house. It is hard work being with the kiddos but I am excited!

How is everyone doing? Xx
That's great Acason. I stay at home full time but once the baby is a year I pick up evening shifts, 1-2 week. What do you do online?
Ms_incredible, I'm well, just counting down the weeks! Starting next week, I am home alone again for 9 days while my husband goes away for work! I have to set up some cleaning service while he is away as he insisted his work provide me money for that if they wanted him to go!!!
Now I just have to find the time to arrange something lol!
How are you? I think if be smiling everyday if I were you lol!
How is everyone's symptoms lately?
I am just so knocked down tired still. All I want to do is sleep Sleep Sleep!
Coocoo that is sweet that your DH tells you to set up a cleaning service. My DH is gone all the time. Usually 5-7 days sometimes longer and then he is home for that long too. Sometimes I feel like the Mom and the Dad... cleaning the house, fixing things that break, mowing the lawn, etc. I can't complain much though cause I get to stay home and not work and he is home and doesn't have to work at all for long stretches.
Two days till gender scan... why am I freaking out??
Mrs incredible I was wondering if you had a link to your sway. Both the before the loss and what you did after. I am having difficulty in figuring out what to do for mine. I had a perfect kitchen sink sway and while I am scared to drop things I am more scared not to.
Coocoo, fantastic that your hubby thinks like that! Are you still managing to stay team green!? I go from welling up with emotions at the tgought the test might mean I'm having a daughter, to buying pink then feeling silly "just in case", to feeling positive and happy, then thinking of the gender scan and feeling terrified!
Wanting pink ^^^^ i think it's how we're all feeling, scared the scan shatters the dream. You'll be fine tho. Can't wait for scan pics!
Rosie, I'm going to post my "laid back sway" as atomic says! It was far from a sway but was the best i could manage. I think the mc and feeling ill during the last pg (effectively ate little) with one attempt made the difference for me. But at my nt scan it didn't surprise me when she said the turtle potty shot looked too far out, i didn't think my lazy sway warranted me hearing girl
Xx
Tomgirl I go from having energy, mowing the lawn, cleaning the house, to being completely wiped out (probably because I just did all those things). Yesterday was not a good day. I was baking cookies for DS2 teacher and ate some of the cookie dough and got really sick (morning sickness). I know better than that!! Had to take a Zofran which is only the 2nd time I have taken one this PG. I will not be doing that today:)
Mrs I, I know how you are feeling!! One minute you are happy and looking a little girl clothes and the next minute you are scared to tell anyone and the next minute you wish you hadn't said anything to anyone about it being a girl because then you will look like a fool if it isn't.
I was the same way with DD1. After my MIL telling me that "Dean men can't make girls" and not doing a real sway I thought it wasn't possible to have a girl. If I had a 12 week uls where the tech thought it was a boy then it would have been worse. I found out at 12 weeks (MaterniT21) and from 12 weeks to 15 weeks (gender scan) I was a mess. I wanted to tell people I was having a girl but then thought it was too good to be true and telling people would jinx it. My SIL kept telling me I am having a girl cause she saw it in a dream?? Everyone was getting my hopes up and I was so scared they would come crashing down. When we told my MIL it was a girl she was speechless. She seriously didn't say anything for at least a good minute. Then she said "how is that possible"? Then she said "Oh I wish we would have tried for a third" which made me really sad cause I know how much she wanted a daughter.
I am kind of having those same feelings with this one but they aren't as exaggerated. I feel more confident that it is possible to have a girl and my diet and life were very similar to DD1.
What day is your gender scan?
I would love to have someone come in and clean that would be awesome! I work about 25 hrs a week and do a lot of the cleaning and laundry, cooking. Lately though I find it hard to muster the energy to do much. I have been ravenous this pregnancy which is new for me. With my boys I always had a ton of energy and just felt great didn't have a huge appetite just normal.
This pregnancy I HAVE to eat and eat like I've never eaten and then I just want to nap, I wake up and then need to eat and then just want to go back to bed. Of course I don't cause I have to get the kids and go to work but geez I think I could just have an IV put in and sleep this entire pregnancy!
I'm with you on the eating thing. I feel like I could eat EVERYTHING, even when I'm full. It's so bad and I'm so scared I'm going to gain 100+ lbs this pregnancy. I'm thinking I'm going to have another 9 pounder like my boys :omg:
I'm the same as you ladies with the energy!! Sooo tired most of the time but little spurts that my husband says is nesting cause I just go nuts! But it's like for 20 min to an hour and then I'm starving and want to sleep lol!
It's next Friday, dragging in already! I've not spoken with my in laws after a fall out 4+ years ago! although dh is trying to rebuild bridges with them. They've never seen the boys all that time although that was a decision we took for the good of our family and I stand by that. However, they will take great pleasure in me never having a daughter as during the 10 years I was around them it was no secret I wanted a daughter. My mil had 3 boys and couldn't have any more kids, and she admitted once that her friends convinced her her 3rd son was a girl. You would think she would have had empathy for me with 2 boys at that point, I was so glad I didn't have to listen to the snide remarks when I had ds3. Her other 2 boys had GGGB & G.Quote:

I felt normal (lol) again and wished I hadn't told everyone. Then i read the thread the maternit21 wrong gender thread. Timing sucked.
However after paying all that money, surely I am right to trust in the science ;) ??! Xx
Wantingpink..... How was the gender scan!!!??????? Xx
Just got back from the gender scan and it is a healthy girl!! So happy that she looked good and to hear girl. Now I feel like I can start telling people which is kind of the scary part!!

Coocoo- I work for Leapforce. It is an online search engine evaluator job. I had to sign a NDA but it is a good job. It pays above min. Wage hourly, but I do have to take my own taxes out. I can work up to 40 hrs a week if task are available and it's totally flexible. I could work at 3am as long as there are task. It is a 6 month contract basis and if quality is good they renew you. I just got renewed for another 6 months so that encouraged me to stay home full time. DH may get a promotion this year/ next year so if that happens, he would be making more. Now today we are going to get our new car after work, a minivan! Need more room with baby 4 on the way!

Just checking in!!!
My face is soooo dry! Like I have a flaky forehead!! And I get a zit once in a while!! Never ever with my boys!!!
A few days ago I had felt no movement in days and was just on the edge of worry but I'm getting it again:) darn placenta in the front, sooo frustrating! I am pretty sure I feel things on either side of it but I have to be lying down and quite still to really notice!
How is everyone else? I've been dating myself a week ahead lol! I realized last night I am only 19 weeks today not 20... 20 was my excuse for my big belly lol!
We should try to get some belly shots on here, I love that stuff!!
Yes we do need some bump pics!! When is your 20 week scan Coocoo? Not sure how you are going to resist the temptation to look!!
Why is it when I am PG I want to eat crappy?? I hate that when I am PG I want Taco Bell, french fries, ice cream? I can't have any of that cause of my morning sickness but that doesn't stop me from eating poorly. Yesterday I had scrambled eggs with cheese, then chicken nuggets (the boys had this for dinner), and then chocolate chips?? What is wrong with me!!
Because you're pregnant!!;)
I'm terrible too, I allow myself wayyyy more treats when I'm pregnant! Bad bad;)
My scan is on June 9th and I'll be 21 weeks then so hubby can actually be there! I could have been having it in 2 days!!
Here is my 19 week bump! Actually doesn't look as huge as it feels lol! There's a good 2 inches of that, that is blizzard;)

Such a cute bump!! Perfect little baby bump Coocoo!!
Right now I just look fat. Like I have eaten too much. Don't think people think I am prego... they probably just think that I am having a hard time letting go of the baby weight.
I need to stop being MIA on this thread I feel like I've missed a ton of updates :(, congrats to all of you who have found out genders, even though I see some opposites :/. I will be coming back to update on my gender as soon as I find our in the mean time I will bump this thread for myself :)
Hey ladies :) not much of an update but here is a bump, 15 going on 16 weeks

Getting more anxious. My anatomy scan is exactly a week from today. I really think it's a girl, but I want so badly for it to be a boy. Been having trouble sleeping already!
17 week baby bump!
Hi girls! I have been MIA too - I am a school social worker and you would think at the end of the school year things would be winding down! That has NOT been the case here! Craziness!! Congrats to everyone who found out gender!! Sending you LOTS of blue dust jillibeeen & Ghoulina & everyone else, hope you get the news you're hoping for!!
Gender scan confirmed girl!! What a relief it is was to see it for myself, she didn't give me the potty shot tho. That's what happens when you're the last appointment of the night!! Xx

Thanks kitkat! Still can't believe I heard the words "looks like a girl" but I was a lot more composed than when I read the harmony report, that was a full on cry ugly and loudly scene!! Xx

Happy June Ladies!
How is everyone feeling? We have all been so quite lately. My lil sis had her baby a couple days ago. She had gone team green believing it was her 3rd boy but holding a bit of hope for a girl. Well she had her 3rd boy. She is happy and loves him to bits but is sad she will never have her girl as they are done. She asked if she could pick out my go home outfit for our baby girl. I told her of course she could. She jokes that this will be our shared girl since we are very close so she will have a close relationship with our girl.
As for me I'm still completely exhausted at 16 weeks but trying hard to keep exercising. I'm having a hard time saying no to Gluten and therefore my whole body is puffy and swollen from it. Ugh why do I want so much that is bad for me? I always have will power of steel when it comes to food but with this baby NONE at all! haha
Would love to hear how everyone is doing :)
