Awww, thank you MFC! I hope you're right too! I'm central time US so will probably post around lunchtime. The great thing is we have a nice full weekend, and my appt is right after I take DD2 to preschool on Monday so it'll be here before I know it!Quote:

So I ended up with an 0-1 and an 0. With 3 days of OPK's though that helps! I read somewhere that usually means you O the day of the last OPK, so I would say DTD the 1st day you get an OPK, and the day of your last one.Quote:

I had completely convinced myself I'd hear girl, I had no hope I'd ever hear boy so I was anxious all morning knowing as soon as I went to the u/s even the slightest hope was gone and I'd be left with the reality of 4 girls and I was pretty ok with that actually. Well we went to the midwife appt where my mw kept referring to the baby as he. From there we went over to the mall for some lunch and a trip to Build-A-Bear before my mom took the kids. Well right when my mom was rounding up the girls to take dd1 to choir dd1 had a change of heart and said she wanted to come. Well since my mom was there we all headed back over to the hospital where we got a tiny room, we wedged ourselves in and waited for the show to begin. The u/s tech asked right off if we wanted to know and we said yes. She started to measure and then tried to get a peek, no luck. Measure, try to get a peek, measure, try to get a peek, measure try to get a peek. It went on for a while, I thought I would have a heart attack. Finally the little goober gave her a good view, she looked at me and I said "it's a boy?!" and she said yes. I started to cry for a second, the only thing I could say was "I didn't get fat for no reason" my mom busted up laughing. I looked at the screen and she was measuring again, I whipped out my phone and sent a quick text, an e-mail to princessap and posted here. Yes that's right I posted while still on the table :rofl: I asked her about the size of the baby since I'd measured a bit big, she showed me the estimations and he's dead on to my O date. Dr came in and by now he was all for showing himself off, every time they tried to look at the legs boom penis, show us feet boom penis. He was determined to let us know he was most definitely a HE. On the other hand he (man I love saying that :bigsmile:) was not willing to give us a decent profile, the dr and the tech tried repeatedly and we got the one face shot I posted but not a full body shot. We went to Kohl's and we bought a few outfits based on fact not hope, I can't tell you how amazing it was to buy things for our actual son! The girls were now running around looking at everything blue and cute, they have luckily warmed up super fast. Jon flew in from Texas that morning so it was now 4ish and he'd been up since 2, after only a few hours sleep he was as happy as he could muster. Everyone is going over to my in-laws today so we can tell them all at once without having to assemble them ourselves. I can't wait to see the looks on their faces in that evil way lol
B- I totally get your feelings on finding out. I had gd something awful after dd3, I really think swaying gives you an "at least I tried" feeling. I honestly don't think men analyze like we do, they just don't sit there wondering if everything means something. So excited you're finding out MONDAY!!! Ah my chance to stalk you!!
TTC5- I gave up temping, way to frustrating. Boo for YI, nasty little bastards!
Flava - actually he's looking down, which explains the abuse to my hipbones and cervix lol
Iluv - I'm no good at guesses but that is a great looking baby ya got there! So glad it's doing well!
I think that's the nub on the first pic? You should post it on the u/s thread. Very cute baby!!Quote:

Hope everyone is having a nice weekend!
Congrats 3pnb.....u did it! Felt so good reading it.
Jen, I was lurking for a while to read this great news. Big congrats on your lil boy. Hope 4th is charm thing also works for me next time :) Congrats you and your family.
And hi to all!! I am doing good so far, except gestational diabet torture. Poking my fingers several time a day and limit the food thanks God 6 weeks to go :) Best wishes to all...
flava- dh thinks bil will say nothing. I think that'll probably happen too, but watching him deflate will be all sorts of fun lol We haven't really discussed names yet, I didn't want to love a boy name and then hear girl so we literally agreed not to mention anything till we knew but then dh was too tired to have any real discussions yesterday so I'm sure we'll be all over it today :)
Cemas- thanks!
Boyjoy - By IG standards my sway was a disaster. No ions, ate forbidden foods, ph was way too low, I didn't temp or track my minerals, I only took a few sups and no drinks. I really think it was the high everything diet, the extra calories, the Vit D and the massive amounts of natural cm I had that got me here. Well I can't forget the relaxed attitude of this site, I really think not trying to get everything up to IG standards did my body wonders! FX for #4!
Popping on between birthday parties to see if Jen gave us some details and BINGO! Yay :) What a great story, LOL about your comment on not getting fat for no reason! So happy you were all in there together; what a wonderful family memory!
Boyjoy nice to see you, sorry to hear about the gest diab! I had my test Friday and am waiting on results Monday. I can't believe you're 33 weeks now! And my FX that 4th time is the charm for you as well!!
Skrimpy my appointment is at 10:30 central so I'll probably have an update for everyone sometime before noon. It'll just depend on how long it takes me to have the guts to look at the results, since I'm not going to have them just tell me ... although I guess like Jen I could end up SEEING it myself, but even that I won't trust until I see it written.
Off to continue the bday party circuit!
OMG Jen I'm crying after reading this!!!!! Soooo happy for you!!!Quote:

Anyway.. if I try Dec I would be due September now what has me sooo paranoid is that Cherie22 predicted September either being due/findout/fall preg and that it would be a girl :(
WWYD .... would you skip Dec and try in January OR do you think she is full of #*&%??
Help put my mind at ease :(
TTC5, I have a thread going on here somewhere about psychics. Cherie22 told me girl as well for August, but then Jenny Renny told me Boy, getting pregnant in Oct. So who knows? I found that once I started telling psychics I was hoping for a boy, miraculously they predicted boy! I am too old to be skipping a bunch of months, so I hope we get pg in Oct and then the psychic that told me boy will be right!
3PNB, what a great story! I am still so excited for you! I hope I am as lucky!
Begonia, you're next! I will be stalking you on Monday. I admire your patience, having them write it down for you. You might be able to see it on the screen, though, if you have a baby showing his goods like 3PNB does!
Jen- your sway was great! this is what you had to do to get a boy! Forget about IG ! I did that too and got my girls so hope this is the right thing to do the HE diet!
B- Im so stalking here tomorrow!!! I really hope you post some pics too!
ttc5- Im with hobber here this damn psychics making us crazy for sure! I also told me give birth or find out or bfp in august with girl and there is no way I want to do anything whit aug. now because of it! So yeah they screw with our head.
ummm I buyed test today and if no af tomorrow I will test...not sure how I feel about it.
I can't wait for you to test Flava!!!!
Oh Jen I loved your story!! I am glad you posted from the table :p. And so glad you went shopping after. It'll be interesting go hear how things go with the inlaw family.
Begonia, I will be checking in around lunchtime on Monday! Scans are so much fun.
I'm envious of you girls who can tell at the scan. Even with as many scan videos and pics as I've poured over I have always had to have the tech tell me, lol!
Hey Flava! Can't wait for you to test tomorrow! I can't believe that time is already here! Good thing if you are pregnant, you won't be due in August, and you didn't get pregnant in August, so who cares what the psychics say??:wink:
So should i avoid falling preg in Dec and being due in September? ..... :S
Good luck testing tomorrow if AF doesn't show!! Hope there will be peace with whatever the result ((hugs))Quote:

I honestly think I'd have had a nervous breakdown and DH would have called it all off if I'd stayed on IG. No pre-seed or egg white, fish oil and green tea gave me tons of cm so we just went with that :)
fwiw my nephew was conceived in Christmas and born in September, I say ignore the psychic and chow down lol
Flava- Thanks, I think my sway was great too! I am a little biased since it worked or maybe I just got lucky, either way who cares lol FX for tomorrow!
Skrimpy- thanks, it was a pretty great day :)
Well we told the in-laws, bil's gf left the room while my bil shrunk. My other bil and sil weren't there even though they were supposed to be so I called sil and she was like "oh cool, well congrats" and my bil being a jerk to DH on facebook which means he's upset by it. My mil asked if it is another girl when dh said it was a boy she said "oh good", fil of course wants us to name him after someone in their family. He'll be none to pleased to learn we plan to use my dad's name (Robert) for the middle name but dh doesn't care. All in all it was pretty uneventful actually, I've gotten more reactions from you guys lol
Personally, trying in Dec would be great because DH's bday is in September (and how nice a present would a baby be or a BOY!) But Cherie22 predicted I would have a girl and she see's SEPTEMBER... this was back in June /July she told me this! Take no notice you think? I should, but you know the paranoia LOLQuote:

Jen, so eggs and bacon at brekkie hey? I might try that on the days I do not work ;)
Would you have eggs daily?
Also, did you drink lemon water?
I take green tea tablets do you think they work the same as drinking the tea?
How long were you eating this way for again, sorry I can not remember and sorry for racking your brain but you are my inspiration and HOPE :)
Yep whole eggs and bacon every day. With my first sway I did the lemon water and the bsd. When I quit the drinks I got horrible heartburn that took months to go away, it hung out even past the m/c so this time around I stuck to the green tea. I put a little honey and some lemon juice in it and yum! I did the ig diet till Feb and then embraced Atomics eat it all theory, so I did it for a solid 3 months before I got my bfp. Seriously ask all the questions you want, I'm glad to help :)
I will prob start URAL but only the month of attempt. I drink lemon water at least 2litre a day and I actually like it lol
And what about gelatine, did you drink that?
I liked the lemon water but the heartburn lingered for months. As far as the gelatin I mixed it with juice to make it jello for a few months (Jan- April) but then I quit. I did not do it the month prior to conception.
Looking at my daughter's baby books make me so much better too. They were so cute!!! I think that's really smart and I might steal your idea and bring some to my big U/S too. Smart lady!Quote:

Please pm me or let it all out to the group Flava.
Augh! My little laptop deleted my reply. Let's try again.Quote:

3PNB -Was it your family who has the BIL and his GF who are prego again but have no money? Of all the self absorbed immature bullcrap. That is so wrong. My brother and his wife have been ttc for years now and he has never said 1 unkind word or self comment (although my sisters and I feel so horrible telling him we are prego again). this makes me angry. I put up w/ so much crap that made my last pregnancy miserable and I just think people can be cruel even if they don't mean it.
My 2 cents on the name issue w/ your FIL is: I don't give a crap what your family name traditions are. This is my child and I will name him whatever my DH and I see fit. Your traditions are not my burden. Now if it's important to DH then that's a different story. I really could care less about that stuff and broke a small tradition w/ my 1st. I would name him your father's full name just to be a brat.
Hmmm, think I'm a little tired tonight. I'm a bit high strung but that's really how I fee about it. Shame on the family. It's sad that you can get more support from essential strangers then family.
I had an omlet and bacon most mornings too w/ tomatoes, cheese, and avocado. Mmmm! My 2 cents again. I believe the free range organic chickens are best if you can get them and choline found in uncooked egg yolks is wonderful for pregnancy and has lots of benefits like babies brain development. I ordered this holistic pregnancy program and 1 of the meals is a bannana egg yolk smoothie.Quote:
