Is thyroid stuff SUPPOSED to sway any particular way? Expecting a girl and I have no thyroid (thoughI was being very closely monitored and treated prior to conception) -- hoping it doesn't have any negative impact on blue :(Quote:

Speaking of swaying i tried so hard not snacking today and it is soooooo hard. I ended up pigging out on some easter eggs that were in special 😯😯😯 im practising looking at food labels too which is an eye opener.

My eldest two are 23 months apart and it was a perfect age gap. DS2 and DS3 will be 2.5 years apart so I've never had a smaller gap but I think I like the idea of it. We had aimed on ttc #3 sooner and having around an 18 month gap but it didn't work out that way in the end. Hopefully on #4 it will ;) I think if we conceived when DS3 was 7 months (best laid plans eh lol) we'd have a December baby which I would actually love but might have a hard time convincing DH lol! I'd like to conceive before my 35th birthday which is next summer, 2017 though I suppose it will also depend on how long I BF for this time. I don't want to cut it short in an effort to ttc because I genuinely enjoy the closeness.Quote:

It is miles harder to maintain weight loss than to actually achieve it IMO. What's the age gap between your boys hun? xQuote:

My mother in law, sister in law and niece felt the baby move and we got several suggestions for the name. Everyone likes to tell us which names they like, but in the end, she'll get the name we like so I don't even know why they bother telling us :rofl:
@Luvmyfam: great your anatomy scan went well and what a lovely picture of your little men. Your belly looks so cute. Mine is a lot bigger than yours I think. I'll post a photo right after this post.
@Taytum: that picture is amazing!!! You should do 2 more like that and then you could make a beautiful wall composition to remember your pregnancy by. Just an idea :)
@Poptart: huge congrats on your little princess :XX:
@Milybaby: Looks like a boy to me :) How are you since finding out you're having a thirth little man? I've been thinking about you a lot.
@Yogi: I think you'll be in disbelief until you'll have him in your arms, just like me. I've been told girl 3 times now, but I still have to say it out loud to believe it. It's so unreal!!!
@Boyzmommy: I hope you're feeling better. What big stuff do you need for your little princess? I only need some less expensive things so I've started decorating her room first and buying her wayyyyy to many clothes.
@Netti, hopper & luvmyfam: I'm glad you ladies are going to try one more time for a princess and I'm sending you all the pink dust in the world. I'm convinced swaying did it for me because I was just sooo boyfriendly before the sway. When I tell someone, they think I'm nuts, but i let them think whatever they want... I'm already looking forward to your pregnancy anouncements next year :) But first a healthy bub this year of course! And Netti, I must agree with hopper to wait to do LE until you're starting your sway, because it's hard! I was so depressed at the end when I conceived and was thinking about food all day :)
Belly shot at 20w5d. I really think time flies...
Thanks ladies. Just trying to limit my snacking as i believe thats where all those extra kilos are from.
Cute bump fiya.
Hopper my ds are 10, 7, 2 and 1. Though i have a closer gap of 15 months between ds3 and ds4. This one will be approx 17 months.

Thank you Fiya😍 That's So kind of you. I am feeling much better and just love this baby so much💕 Think There was a confusion in My mind about misscarriaging a girl and this Baby and It was really hard to go ahead at first but now planning My HT Journey again lol 😉Quote:

So I think I would not sway naturally again. The 4th is HT or nothing. I think I could feel complete with My 3 boys👍🏽 I Will see how I feel after birth and if I really want a 4th child?
Very Nice bump for you 👍🏽😍
Xxx
Gorgeous bump Fiya!! Love the suggestions for names from family members, we have been inundated with girl ones and have to say I'm laughing at how convinced pretty much everyone is that this is a girl. I'm enjoying my secret ;) We have him named already though - I shall share the name at a later stage though :) My favourite girls names are Lily and Emilia. DH dislikes both but I'm sure if we were to be blessed with a daughter I could talk him round :P
Mily I am so glad you are in a better place now :) Its very hard to hear the opposite when you had your hopes pinned on a girl but I think personally despite the heartache it's just been easier to embrace it than to overthink it (which I usually do with everything lol!) I also had a very hard sway, very similar to yours except I didn't have Clomid. I think for me the main reason I may have unintentionally swayed blue was not being able to let go. If I had started LE later and been less "Martha" about how I had put so much into my sway and was facing a time limit (self imposed) I think things may have worked out differently but as we say around these parts - what's meant for you won't pass you! So these third boys of ours are just destined for us :) I would LOVE to feel completed once he's born and all idea of having another put out of my mind but right now I don't see that happening. Hopefully it will be different once he's here!!
Oh yeah limiting snacking netti is definitely key to keeping weight gain to a minimum - I am so boy friendly right now lol. Constant snacking and no consistent meals! I really like your age gaps hun, I could be looking for advice on dealing with a 15 month age gap all going well! If we were to start trying this time next year DS3 would be about 6-7 months old depending on when he decides to arrive!! A friend of mine has 15 months between her girls and she says she wishes she had kept to the smaller gap for her third child cause it was just easier to keep going while already having one in 'baby more's lol. I love hearing different perspectives on it :)
Oh and speaking of movement - I felt DS3 hiccup for the first time this evening!!! So freaking cute!! DS1 felt him too :) Also my first "embrace the blue" buys arrived today! I also bought new clothes for DS1 and DS2. DS2 couldn't have cared less lol but DS1 was SO involved in wanting to unpack DS3s sleepsuits etc. He held one of the sleepsuits in his arms as if it were a baby and started singing an old Irish tune to it and then gently laid it down on a cushion and told me the baby was sleeping so to be quiet! My heart literally melted into a puddle!! :)
Thank you MyLyBaby♡
I really hopd that yoir heart will guide you to the big decision ♡
Aww Hopper how beautiful ♡ Super happy you felt the baby hiccup. Its such a wonderful feeling.
