You need a cute pregnancy ticker girl! I never know how many weeks are you lol.
I can't believe i made it to 4 weeks already!:rofl:
Me too Bumblebee!!
Flava, I have tried soooo many times. Tickers, FF chart. No matter what I do it just always tells me 'Invalid File' and won't work. That is why I have put my EDD on my signature, so at least you have some idea of where I'm at! Basically 5 weeks, so only just ahead of you.
What says invalid file? this site? how do you do it?
My kids keep me busy and help the time pass while their daddy is away but some times i need a short break but then i miss them. lol My due date is September 18. I also feel like the weeks are going by slow now that I really wanna know what i'm having. My husband keeps going back and forth on if he wants to get an early scan like we did with our last 2. I done a bunch of the old wives tales like i did with my last 2 and they all say boy. (red cabbage, needle and thread test, and ring test) so now i just need to sit back and wait until but with the weekend all most and the next 2 weekends booked hopefully it will go by fast. Im hoping to find out the sex as a late anniversary gift of being with my hubby or my 3rd daughters 3rd birthday. lol
Peony, when u do a ticker from a website there are two codes, you have to copy and paste the "pseudo" code into the sigature box or it won't work. the HTML one alone will give an error. You should try that, I hope you can get a ticker working!
Today I am having weird doubts about whether I'd even be a good mom to a girl. I'm not very girly, I don't do girly things really, I'm more at home playing video games with my DH when kids go to bed than anything else. I wonder what I would have to offer a daughter? I mean, I have the educational thing down, I'm a librarian, so of course I'd try to get her to love reading, etc, education is important, all that good stuff...but when it comes to actual "girl" things, I'm so far off from that now, lol. Anyway, I don't know what is wrong with me...I go between some day feelinng this incredible burining desire that I just have to *have* a daughter, or else...to some days really hoping boy 3. BLAH.....whatever the baby is it already is and no amount of my wishing will change anything!
Any of you ever have those days? Where you are kind of afraid of raising an opposite gender child than you've gotten used to?
good luck TTC5!!
Are you using the BBcode? The other ones don't work.Quote:

A girl or even another boy will fit nicely because I will love and except whomever my child is (gender or personality).
I have still been very tired and lazy. I slept in about 2hrs later then normal and woke up to 2 little monkeys jumping on my bed. The m/s is getting better but it comes and goes with certain foods. I hate this waiting game!
Hi ladies. I am having sooooo much trouble waiting until I can get a gender scan. I'm spending ALL my time nubsessing - looking at other nub shots online and comparing them to mine. I need to just stop driving myself crazy! I feel like 20 weeks is EONS away, so I seriously doubt I'll wait that long. I keep looking at my calendar to find an earlier time I can go to the private place, though, and I really don't think I can manage it until 18 weeks, if even then. That's over a month away!!! Sometimes I wish I'd never heard of a nub and I would just be living in blissful ignorance thinking there was no way to tell the gender until 20 weeks. I don't remember being this impatient with my other kids - well, we didn't find out the gender with my twins at all, but even with ds3 who I swayed with (unsuccessfully), I remember being anxious but not quite this impatient. I really need a hobby!
Auroara, I never wanted girls. I am a huge tomboy, and I always wanted to be a boy mom. I have actually enjoyed having girls more than I expected to. I like cooking and so do they, and DD1 is really into crafts like me, too. I bet you will surprise yourself at how much you have to offer a daughter!
Thank you PurplePoet & Hobbermittens for your amazing words :)
I don't know why I get this way sometimes, I get so nervous about the idea of a "new" or "different" thing in my life.
My DS1 and I love to bake cookies together, so I could totally do that with a girl as well. I know if I did have a girl I would be tickled beyond belief, and I would make it work, but sometimes it seems so surreal that it might happen to me...
Mocha, I thought I would be a ton more anxious than I am, I think I was more anxious with DS2, but I guess I am really enjoying the idea of having "hope" still...that knowing for sure (if it's a boy) would kill all the hope. Some days I am bursting to know, but that's when I really try hard to distract myself, usually video games work :rofl:
hobber- you need to ell me how you guys cook together. My girls don't want to help or just make a big mess keeping me back so i get angry and better do it myself.
aurora- sometimes I also think the same wth I would do with a boy?? Me and my DD1 we play a online game lol and we play with all the girls on the wii and game **** games sometimes.
They all play together with their toys nothing ruff or hitting or jumping of thing (omg I saw boys jumping from so high on the playground i get a heart attack ) And I think it's just easy because they are all girls.
None of us is in to sport here at all! Not even DH we never watch or do any sport .We had bikes but right now not even have that because it's so hot here most of the time we can't go out to bike anyway.
So what if I would get a boy and he wants to do all this boyish stuff??
I don't know...guess we just grow to it with the baby , right?
But I sure wish this baby it's my boy.can't change nothing now and im still so scared from a m/c so really Im just hoping for a sticky baby for now.
Mocha you have to stop looking at nub pic girl! Just because we don't know what is our baby it is what it is already!
I also like the idea of hoping so at least till we don't find out we have our dream!
I sure hope it's your girl. What if you tell them you are 18 weeks at 16 ? Then you get a appt. for sure!
Flava, my DD1 loves to help with dinner. She cuts stuff up, makes certain things on her own, and loves to "make us dinner"--last time she made us dinner we had oatmeal, oranges and top ramen... but she made it all on her own!
Mocha, I am dreading finding out gender--I feel totally opposite of you! I am trying to figure out how I can get through my 12 wk scan (next Monday--EEK!) without looking at the screen. I am afraid of accidentally seeing a nub or being able to see by the skull shape what gender the baby is. Have you found a place that will give you a scan before 16 weeks?
ahh hobber you are luckyyyyyy! My DD1 says she want to learn how to cook bla bla. But she is not doing it.Or they are so scared from the stove want's to stir the food a mile away. I still hoping one of them start making some food here lol
I also don't want to find out because i never had a surprise.But DH wants to so well see what happens. Fist I have to make it there.All seems very far away yet.
I know you ladies are right - I just need to stop obsessing. The fact is, it's going to be so logistically difficult to get to an early scan that I'm not even sure it's going to happen at all. It's just impossible to coordinate it with the different school and preschool pickup times on a weekday, and I know dh won't approve of an early scan, so doing it on a weekend probably won't work either.
I need to try to adopt your attitude, auroara. I should enjoy this time of hope that I might have a daughter. I just feel like if it's a boy I want to start the process of accepting that I'll never have a daughter. Every time I get a girl guess here, on IG and elsewhere, my heart races, and every time I get a boy guess my heart drops. I think it would have been a lot easier if I didn't have a nub shot to obsess over.
Peony, No my blood work is for the usual things, I think its a good idea I am seeing my ob at 8 weeks She will put me on the right track...
On a side note I am really feeling this sickness, I am so close to throwing up ALL the time its just I try so hard to hold it down 1. Because I hate throwing up.. 2. Because I have nothing in my stomach and I know it will be horrible!!! I cant even smell food. I had a a bit of potato for tea last night , I cant see myself eating all day its horrible!
you described me exactly, thats what I went through aswell its calmed down abit at 13 weeks but my indigestion and heartburn cause most of the problems, I always getting nasty gurgling noises coming from my stomach after I eat something and I still have no appetite, my cold atm means I can't smell anything so thats a good thing as cooking smells make me feel sick too but the downside is everything tastes like cardboard :rofl:Quote:

I started cooking with my sister when she was about 8yo who is 4y's younger then me. When my younger siblings were born it just seemed natural to make meals with them. I start them off with PB&J sandwiches and from there they blossomed into great helpers. I do the same with my boys by allowing them to do the easy stuff and turning on the blender/mixer/microwave/chopper. DS1 loves to stir the sauce (pasta) and he likes to cut his own food and butter his own bread. When he is about 8 I will teach him really cooking.
Sometimes cooking can be fun if everyone has their special task. Like a food line for making pizza. It's also a great time to talk and joke around. You'd be surprised how good you feel just talking one on one.
12 week scan in hour and half omg so nervous!!!
Wishing you lots of luck, TTC5!
My baby is a size of a poppy seed lol Then why Im this fat? Wait I made myself fat :rofl:
Good Luck TTC 5!!!!!!
Bumblebee , Is there light at the end??? I have so much saliva aswell which is making me feel horrible! I had a banana For breakfast I made myself eat something.. We have a wedding to go to tomorrow and oh how fun will that be for me!!
I hope so!! my nausea has calmed down now but just a bit - it really depends on what I eat, most of the time my own home cooking makes it worse because I use spices, whereas if I eat something like KFC I'm fine. I eat pasta and sandwiches and that seems to help. Yoghurt helps me too. I had excess saliva in the beginning I think it was because I was so tired, I drooled in my sleep so I nap in the afternoon when I get really tired and that helps, its also really weird I never snore but since becoming pregnant I snore and I wake up as soon as I do it! have fun at the wedding, keep some mints or sweets in your purse in case you feel sick xxQuote:

Pinkin, yuck. That sounds awful. Have any of you tried Vit B6 for m/s? My naturopath says it can be really good for it.
Hi Bec, sounds like you have been having a rough run. Glad you are improving.
Found out today that my thyroid levels aren't great. More bloods tomorrow and may have to start on thyroxine next week. Was reading up on it. If not picked up during pregnancy, it can cause intellectual impairment in childhood. And even if it's picked up early on, some children still have slower motor responses. Oh, and it increases the risk of m/c. Not thinking the psychic was so crash hot now, as she didn't foresee any problems in this pregnancy!!
Oh really Rainbow??
OMG I have a F'n Appleseed!!! Never been so excited! Thanks for your help everyone. I just had to paste it into the actual signature box, not into the section for photos! Can I blame it on the pregnancy brain-no. Because I couldn't figure it out even when I was TTC!
HA HA! I wouldnt of been able to help you if i tried!!! Mine was a fluke!
