Mommy- that's right, now I remember :) can't wait to see your test!
Naci- love it! So happy for you! Though seeing it did make my heart ache. I sure hope I get to see that word on a test again :/
I've always been lucky with the morning sickness. Never had it with my first and only felt nauseous every now and then with my 2nd. Now watch, if I do get pregnant again I'll be throwing up the whole time. Sure hope it's easy on you Nacire!
TtcBlue18 - Thank you so much! It really felt amazing to see Pregnant on that stick after getting out the shower this morning. Fx so hard that you see those words again!
Nacire-woohoo! Seeing those words is awesome! Congrats [emoji322]
Mommy & Iwant4-your charts are looking good! Can't wait for you both to get BFPs
Mommy-those symptoms sound very promising!!
Iwant4-your boys look like they're having so much fun!
Ttc-while it's annoying that DH is limiting cycle, try not to worry b/c you're going to get your BFP anyway!!!! Where there's a will there's a way haha.
Pbn-looks like a fun time for your boys too! I need to take my boys to something like that!
Max-I'm so sorry for what you're going through & so glad you're sharing your feelings with all of us here! A lot of people IRL just don't get it! I know what you mean. It did take a while for me to conceive #3 and while I'm so grateful, I do have random thoughts about having a family of 5. We won't even fit into my car, I'll have to get a new one & will someone always be left out?? I agree with pbn, not to rush to any final decisions right away. Sleep on it a few nights! Love pbn's statement of "good things come to those who wait." I fully agree, the sweetest little baby that's meant to be yours is just waiting on the right time. One thing to consider in making your decision-will you have regrets? I felt like if I didn't have #3, I would always wonder if we'd have a girl and not just gender-, I'd always wonder what baby #3 would be like...one more chance at being pregnant and trying to enjoy & embrace it all!!!

Thanks Lola! Would be nice! :)

Lola: I wanted to say that too but was a bit rushed this morning. Thanks for reminding me :)
Max: I start to think about how I won't be able to hold 3 on my lap, or hold each ones hand at the same time (all the typical things you can do with 2 and not 3). Then dh talks about how I can't fit 3 car seats in my jeep and we can't each grab a kid and hop on a 4wheeler if there's 3. But I know that if I wasn't to do this, I would always regret it. Not only because I would always wonder if I could have gotten my boy, but because I would always wonder what life would have been like if I'd had 1 more to love. I'm a firm believed in "the more the merrier" There's no such thing as too much love. :) My girls love seeing babies on TV and they beg me for a baby, I think that's a big part of it.
But also you have to take into consideration the ages of your babies. Theyre pretty close in age. Will you be one of those people glad to have the house back to yourself when they grow up and move out within a few years of each other? Or will you mourn the empty nest? It wouldn't be empty all at once if you bring another little one into the family. I think everyone worries about 1 child being left out, but the reality is that doesn't happen. Coming from a family of 4 brothers and 1 sister I can tell you I love all my siblings equally, our relationships just vary depending on age. My brothers are my best friends because I grew up with them. The older 2 helped raise me, I helped raise the younger 2. They were all very protective of me and my sister. With my sister, it's a little different, but I wouldn't trade if for the world. Being 10 years younger than me, and I moved out at 16, so I was only in the same household for the first 6 years. When she went to kindergarten I left home. When she was 8, i married my hubby and she was my maid of honnor. When she was 9, I made her an aunt. But it's wonderful. She's so close with my children. Different is not bad. Different is beautiful.
Sorry for the super long message, I just thought I might be able to show you a different perspective to some of your concerns :)
I bet so, especially after the false alarm. I can only imagine your excitement! You swayed girl, right? Ahhh I already can't wait to find out what your having! I know it's a long way to go yet but I bet it's a girl! :DD:Quote:

TtcBlue18 - Thank you! I sure hope so :) I try to put that I swayed way in the the back of my mind. I'm focusing on healthy and hoping its a healthy girl.
Mommy - that is so sweet about your oldest!!
Max!! I know you want this baby. I'm feeling all the feels too - wondering what was I thinking, was this a rash decision, should we have reevaluated more. But, then I tell myself for 3 years we have waived back and forth and I just can't see regretting having another child to love. My husband, who wasn't even fully on board, is more excited than me! Cried upon hearing the heartbeat. Am I going to be more stretched, spread thin, tired, yes, but I 99% ([emoji12]) feel it will be worth it and I know you will too. I freak out more about what if something happens to us or me, can family/husband handle 3?? But, I refused to not try for another baby out of fear! And now that I'm in the heat of morning sickness, I still question this decision, but when I picture that end goal, the baby, my heart skips a beat!! PM if you want to talk more!
