See that's what's so hard Ms_incredible, you shouldn't have to downplay your excitement either! It's so so hard either side we are on! It just sucks!!
I think no one here has been over the top and I think for you esp thinking you had a boy at first makes your experience that much cooler;)
Loving the sound of your nursery Mrs incredible I was planning something similar mint green with soft grey as I am team green so far anyway!! Xx

Ooh, team green, would have loved to have the patience!!
Went back for my 4d rescan today but baby was not playing ball at all! Ds2 said she looked like a dog (black nose area, she actually did lol) and ds3 said pizza!! Ah well, don't regret it, glad we tried. That's 4 scans confirming girl. And the monkey is still breech! Xx
Oh no!
Were you planning a c section anyway? Will you have to get one if she is still breech?
Can you feel the difference when they are breech? I just wonder sometimes if I would know?!
Worst case imo is a C-section :( I usually have short painful labours, last two lasted less than an hour, so I'll be terrified if she doesn't turn. Really terrified! Plenty of time apparently! With 3 boys, a newborn and a dh working 12 hour days it's far from ideal. Can't really tell tho. With ds2 i was ready to push when the mw thought he was breech, scan machine wheeled in to check position, luckily he wasn't. Didn't fancy there chances of stopping me pushing at that point. Just now i can't tell what's what, wouldn't have known had it not been for the scan. Got mw tomorrow, will be interesting to see if she can tell xx
Please ladies don't feel bad, you are perfectly entitled to your happiness! No one on here has made me feel worse than I already do, I just wanted Peebell to know that I understand and she is not alone... GD sucks! (I think I'm not only scared of having 2 boys, but also a newborn and a 2yr old, and I seem to remember this is her second baby, whereas you ladies are very experienced 'multi mums' lol - saying that, do you ever get nervous again of having a newborn with your other children and adding another kiddy / personality/ temperament into the mix again? We are now considering #3 and I'm worried I'll feel this terrified again of adding another child, even if we are certain of gender by going HT) :( xx
I think the 2nd is most terrifying!
Now I'm thinking 'everything will be fine but if I thought I was busy before, Oy vay!!!'
The things I have told myself with each addition is that many families have gone through this and survived and so will I!
I feel incredibly guilty adding number 4, dh could have lived happily stopping at 2 or 3. Saying that he has such an amazing bond with ds3, he's his best buddy! I felt I'd cheated my boys financially, time wise etc going back to do it all again for a pipedream of it being a girl. In the midst of being so ill to 14 weeks i wondered if I'd done the right thing. I'm sure its going to be tough but it will be worth it, as it would have been had it been ds4! It's still a bit daunting tho but many before have survived so we'll all be fine!! :) Xx
Oh yes ladies please don't hold back on your excitement, you definitely don't make me jealous whatsoever, I just envy the fact you are having girls... But today I was told about 5 times how gorgeous my son was and I'm lucky to have cute boys, so that perked me up a lot!
I'm also having a ceasar for the second time, still don't have my date booked yet but it's either 21st or 28th October, I find out exactly when next Thursday at my next appointment. I can sy that I am dying to not be pregnant anymore, this time feels a lot more tiring.
And thanks Kitty Bear... Maybe third times a charm for us hey?
Hi ladies! Can't believe we are in the final stretch!!! Hubby and I got away for a long weekend up to Canada without the kids which was soooo fantastic!
We started building the new bedroom for my eldest son in the garage but the project has come to a halt do to time and conflicts. My dad is building it so we are waiting on when he can come back down and work on it. We are hoping to have it done in about 2 weeks, so much for having it done before school starts which is tomorrow! This week is super crazy with soccer practices starting school starting and our 2 yr old is having a hernia surgery tomorrow. And to think it's only going to get crazier in a few short weeks!
Our nursery is actually a soft green already so I was also thinking of just adding pale pink and pale grey to the mix. I've always had such boy boys that it's fun to think about decorating girlie this time!
Has everyone come up with names yet? I actually have to laugh at the shock and surprise I get from people when they ask what we are naming her and I say I have no idea! For me I have to see her hold her and get an idea of what she looks like to me before I can decide on a name. I've been that way with all my kids. My 7yr old actually went home from the hospital without a name because I had no idea what to call him! Ha :)
I had names ready for ds2&3, this time tho we haven't found a name we both love. Or even one of us loves to the point we'll fight for it!
Dh is 40 this mth so I'm hoping to get 2 nights in a hotel kid free. Kids are going to my parents. Guess i really should book something!!
Right now the house is upside down getting ds3 into ds2s room. Then we can turn the small blue nursery which i loved so much and helped me deal with my gd, into a pink haven! The cot will be in our room fir the first year so it's a bit strange decorating without that focus!
Of course I've just seen a story about a girl baby being born a boy. Last night after washing my pink nb stuff i had a dream i had a baby boy whose bits were tucked under! Guess i wont be happy despite harmony, 5 scans saying girl, until i give birth lol! Xx
Where in Canada TomGirl? It's a big country!!;)
I'm in BC canada and our teachers are still on strike since before the end of the school year so I am in limbo until they come to some agreement with the gov't!
I have a drs appt today and I really want them to just tell me I'm too old and uncomfortable and we should take her out soon! Lol!
Of course I want to cook her as long as possible but man, I don't think I can go another 6ish weeks:/
I'm still hoping she's a she. I do worry about that too and I have only had 2 confirmations...eeee

33 weeks! Wish I was 37;)
I'm with you coocoo, I'm only 32 WISHING I was 38! Hopefully they book in my caesar at 38 weeks, they say they might do it at 39 weeks..... Gahhhhh
This is when I get jealous of c sections lol!
My first was one and when someone. Is due around me or after and they get to go first as I still wait I get really green with envy lol!!
But I have to just remember it's not that long a wait more it just seems like forever! Lol!!
I'm hoping this one comes at like 37, but the earliest I went was 39.5... Blech:/
;)
This will be my 4th C-section and I so wish I could just labor. I am scared to death of what they are going to find going on inside. Last time I had a ton of scar tissue and one of the OBs that was assisting said that we shouldn't have anymore kids!! My OB says it will be find but he is having a urologist in on the surgery "just in case". Not really even sure what that means... need to ask more questions.
I am feeling very overwhelmed and tired lately. I think this back to back pregnancies plus the fact that I am pushing 40 and have 3 kids to chase after is starting to get to me. I am so ready to have this baby and so not ready at the same time. Right now 4 kids seems very overwhelming.
So do we know who is due first? Have there been any babies born? I hope people come back and post their baby pictures!!
I haven't been on line all week due to the craziness of it all! School started on Wed, our 2 yr old went in for a hydrocele repair surgery on wed also, soccer practice, homeworks....and so it begins!
We went to Sun Peaks Resort...smaller version of Whistler. It was so nice to get away!
Man I just hit 30 weeks and I am thankful for the 2 more months as I still have so much to do and well now the thought of having 4 is so overwhelming!!! I am Due Nov 15th but I usually don't ever make my due date. My 2yr old was born at 28 weeks so I would be happy with the first week of November, that makes the holidays not quite so overwhelming. I was just thinking yesterday if I will even be able to muster up energy to decorate for at least xmas. I love to decorate for the holidays but I don't think I'm even going to tempt halloween as I could go at any point from then on and I just don't want to have to deal with putting it all away. If my husband has to do it he will just throw it away! Ha
I'm actually looking forward to the cooler fall air now but today we are going to be 90...so much for that! Oh well at least it's sunny and nice still.
Hi Ladies! I know I have been super quiet for a while but just wanted to say hi. I hope everyone is well! Riley Joseph arrived almost 2 weeks early on August 30, 2014. I am not sure how to post pics - can anyone help?
Congrats!!!! First one in:)
I hope mine comes early, fx x10000! So done!!
From my phone there is a picture above where I am posting of a tree in a frame. I click on there and then it asks to choose and then upload pics...I think it's similar from the computer too but I haven't tried from there forever!!
Big congrats kellbell Xxx

Congrats Kellbell!! Can't wait to see your pictures!!
Congratulations kellbell!! Cant wait for pics and birth story :) xx
Congrats Kellbell, enjoy the newborn cuddles xx
Aww congrats! So precious
Dh started the nursery. The whole house is a tip! My rib pain is getting in the way of all the jobs i need to do. Only relief is from my electric heat pad, the hot water bottles cooled too quickly. She's been quiet this past day but just enough movement to keep me sane. Sure she's still breech tho. How are you all doing? Xx
I'm having pain under my belly. Went to the dr finally today to see about physio as I think my pelvis has to be out of alignment. I can hardly do anything without pain. She decided to check other things and I came out getting to have another u/s! She said its to check on babies size (my last was big) but really it is to verify gender for me;)
Apparently she has seem a lot of opposites lately and I told get how that was always in the back of my mind so I think she's doing it to be nice!
I'm hoping I'll get a pic of the pkg this time so I can look at it everytime I doubt. But I'm scared it will be a boy and I'll be out of happy land til the end lol!
Fx nothing has 'grown'!!
My stomach was in knots at every scan incase something had grown! Its natural to worry. Especially when everyone tells me how they know someone that it happened to! I felt so much better after the 4d scans at 27&28 weeks confirmed girl and felt reassured enough to buy baby bedding and decorated her room :) When is your scan? X
Not sure yet. She will book it today so sometime next week! I am a little worries they won't be able to tell seeing he baby will be quite large at this point!!
Hello ladies, Just wanted to say hello!
I know I haven't posted in a very long time - but I wanted to share the good news!
I'm pregnant, due on Oct 31 with twin GIRLS!! I'm so happy my daughter will have not one, but two sisterly companions :D

Oh and she told me my cervix is still really long and lots of fluid! I keep hoping they will say oooh you're going to deliver soon, but appears that is not the case! Lol...patience is something I am trying to work on;)
Peebell! How Nice enjoying active baby!
Coocoo! She's cute!!!
I'm skullsessing!!! Argh! I really hope I'm right with my baby's skull.
And hoping I'm gonna stay team green!
Do you have a pic?
Unfortunnaly not, it looked a lot like one that posted a picture yesterday. No nub just skull. So round.
I have another scan in 2 weeks. I feel scared. Don't want to know LOL.
I believe this is a girl, but so afraid I'll be disapointed. I still know fresh how that feels. And he or she is just An innocent baby. I want nothing else but to love and cherish it.

Well ladies, here is my birth story. Sorry for the delay. My sweet little Riley decided to come early...needless to say I did not make it to my scheduled C-section date. The contractions started to get more intense on and off on 8/23 - went to labor & delivery w/ regular contractions every few minutes but wasn't progressing - the nurse said it was b/c of a UTI but she was wrong! The contractions eased eventually but kept coming on and off. On 8/27 (also my 30th bday), I went to the doctor early, I had an appointment already that day but the contractions were coming fast and furious. I still hadn't progressed - was only 1 cm & 50%. At least he has his own birthday! On Friday night, we went out for my birthday dinner and the contractions started again, this time they were about 5 minutes apart but were getting stronger. I came home from dinner and put my daughter to bed while my hubby put my son down. By this point it was about 9 pm. They were definitely getting stronger so I called and explained to the doc on call that I wasn't sure if it was real but she told me to come in and be monitored. By this point, I couldn't even walk and the contractions were getting stronger and closer together. It was hard to talk through them. When I got to L&D, I was 2 cm and they gave me fluids & some pain med that didn't do anything! She said they were seeing if the labor would stop - it didn't! When they checked me again, I had progressed to 3 cm and the nurse said they were taking me for my c section! The pain was so horribly intense - much moreso than either of my first two kids! The dumb anthesiologist tried to get me to sign the consent right in the middle and I seriously almost threw it at his face!! =P Anyway, my sweet little boy was born on 8/30 @ 1:23 am after some trouble getting him out - he was 7 lbs, 11 oz and 19.5 inches, almost a pound smaller than my other son and the exact same size as my daughter! It was a rougher recovery this time but I am totally in love!!
Awwe what a cutie kellbell!!!!
