Are you getting impatient?

Y - I am picking names, bedding, any big items I need, etc... Keeping me busy for now lol
I just feel so bad for my kids while I'm in this ttc mindset! My oldest is 5 and I'm homeschooling this year since he can't be in Kindergarten yet and we can't afford preschool--so I try to do a lot of things with them, but during the winter it is so hard because we can't go outside as much and to parks to play as much as we do when it's warmer. There's only so many free things available to do with kids and i'm not going to pay a lot of money to go to places just to keep my kids occupied. I just haven't felt like taking the time to plan out crafts/activities for them at home, and I really should force myself to do that instead of sulking around thinking about ttc!
Jen did you go early or late with your girls?
Good luck tomorrow MFC!!!! NT scans are nerve wracking, not just for the whole nub issue, I mean I literally find myself holding my breath just hoping everything looks normal. So FX nub or no nub you walk out tomorrow and can rejoice in a healthy growing little person in there ... and FX for a cute pic too :)
Oh Jen so close!!!! Can't believe it! I'm jealous. I do like keeping them in and all, but I'm definitely feeling VERY pregnant these days. If this girl comes early I likely won't complain :) She's giving me mega heartburn lately.
Yahmama I remember feeling guilt sulking about because I was so worried about whether this was a boy or girl ... it's hard to be fully present with your kids when you're TTC or pregnant I think. Maybe try to set a goal for yourself of doing one project with them a day. Then let it be a free for all the rest of the time :)
5 and Hobber are your due dates close?
Yep we are close! Although I tend to go early 36/37weeks!
5 - dd1 was a week late, dd2 was right on time and dd3 was 6 days late so it's anyone's guess when he'll make his debut.
B - oh I feel ya on the heartburn. Luckily mine has let up a bit, fx yours does too.
Good idea....I forgot how I'll prob also get that obsessive when/if we do get a sticky BFP of trying to figure out the gender. I really don't want to be wasting my time away with my kids like this. One of the main reasons I really want a ds is because I feel so sad that my ds is already 5 and he was such a sweet baby. I need to enjoy him and my two sweet dds now instead of pining away for a brother for him. Yes, he'll be around 6 if another baby come and maybe that will be a large gap if it's a boy to have a close brotherly relationship, which is what I've been wanting for him since he was a baby. I just need to accept that boat has sailed and he loves his sweet sisters and always has close friends. It just hard not to want that for him.
Either way, I just really want another baby now, so it's probably best we don't find out so I don't worry too much about it and just enjoy pregnancy since it will most likely be our last.
Happy Birthday to all the blue crew girls!
And tons of luck to MFC and Bec with scans today!
Hobber, my folks definitely would rather my brother go get a life, but as much as he is a sweet and kind and cool guy, he also had zero motivation and self-confidence, so he just seems to fail at everything he tries, which is usually not much. My whole family is always so baffled at what his problem is.....we all went to private schools and universities, and my sister and I managed to do well job-wise. His problem is that my parents never pushed him much, they just had this "he's a smart boy and will figure it out" attitude, and from the get-go, when he started screwing up, they coddled him and didn't do anything about it, so they kinda made their bed to lie in. I called him and offered him a free room at our house and a job at our theater (which is fun work), just to get away from Texas and all for a bit, and he was like, "Eh, I'll let you know" and hasn't mentioned it since. My parents and sister could not believe I offered him that. He worked at my sister's record store for a while and she had to fire him!!!! This is also the same guy who calls me on Christmas Eve at 7pm asking what to get for my girls (his only nieces).....and I just tell him he's a giant dipshit and switch the tags on one of our presents with his name. LOL.... DO NOT HAVE A SON LIKE THIS!!!! :thumbsdown: Did I mention that he has never had a girlfriend??? And is 32!
As for me, yep, just done with AF so gearing up yet again. Making a uro appt for DH today. We are just going to dtd every other day this month, starting yesterday (CD6) so we are giving that a shot. I have no more tricks up my sleeve. I am really really hoping that he has a fixable ball thing going on so there is a pretty definite quick fix. I am having one of those months where I am thinking of giving up though.
Jen, FX things start moving along!!!!! C'mon Charlie!!!
Good luck MFC and Bec!
Hey ladies,
I had my scan and all is good. The ultrasound tech wasn't so great. She was fast plus she doesn't know anything about the nub theory. I got DVD and some pics, I don't think there are any gender clues in the pics, but maybe a 'little' in the video, Really not sure. I might just post the pics for skull guessing. I don't know what to think a boy or girl ..but I'm leaning more toward a girl AND already very disappointed.
I'm measuring 13w6d one day ahead my ovulation day. Yeah that's good to know.
MFC - Yippee, glad everything looked good at your scan :) Do you get the feeling you are being stalked ? hehe. We want video, We want video, We want video? ;)
Don't get disappointed yet!! If there were no gender clues, then don't worry yet! (easier said than done, I know!)
Okay ladies how can I remove my INFO from the video?
Hobber~ I saw the girl nub right at the beginning of the video, but I'm not sure I want some one to help me :( and on the other hand I hate to hear it's a girl nub. OMG I feel so bad right now :(
Thanks Cinss that's a good idea or I take some screen shots from the video? What you think?
Yep that would work :)
MFC when your ready to share them hun, no rush xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Yahmama, I feel like that too. All I ever think about is TTC and what cycle day I am. I try to remind myself of something Lola said a while ago... to TTC on the side and live life rather than basing things in life around TTC as a first priority. Well, she worded it WAY better than I did, but you get what I mean ;)
MFC, glad the scan went well! I would take some pics of the video. Just pause when you see a nub shot. I went back and looked at the vidoes from my girls and took perfect nub shots. Can't wait to see the pics :)
Well, I didn't get to have my scan as the nurse who usually does them was sick. So, I am having it tomorrow now. Feeling like I should O in a few days as I am having heaps of cramps and backaches and watery CM.
Please take a look at my pictures ..any HOPE :(

Bec, are you bd'ing now or waiting for O?
MCF - I think boy!
Fab-I posted on the u/s thread..
is girlmom here? I just read her sways omg she sounds like me ...only she did it even more times then me. I guess...
all this sways and did not worked :-( I really hope if you still swaying you get a boy finally! We stoped because DH said no more try...:/ also we just can't believe we get a boy anymore...
How is everyone?? Im sick here..yuck
Thanks, Bec, that is great advice! I'm thinking if I don't get a bfp this month I might have to stop temping b/c that's the constant reminder of what cd I am on, etc! However, then it would be hard for me to determine O, so I don't know!
SOrry you didn't get your scan yet :( Hopefully you'll see some good follicles tomorrow! The signs of O sound promising! FX!
MFC, I'm no good with nub guessing but I'm hoping it's a baby boy :)
5, yep we are DTD every second day starting yesterday. Once I get a positive OPK we might try and get in 3 attempts but it all depends on when we DTD last.
Flava, sorry that you are sick :( Feel better soon!
I have my scan in an hour so will update later.
Good luck Bec :)
Goodluck Bec! We just had our attempt, we also DTD every second day :fx: for both of us.
MFC i responded in the US thread, wow i think you may have had a sucessful sway!
Are we moving over to Feb thread?
FX for you Cinss!!
Good luck Cinss!! And good luck Bec!!
Yeah good luck girls!!
Thanks Hobber and Kris :)
We moved over to the Feb thread!
