Hayley congrats on your boy! Did you sway?
Any US ladies know anything about Lego Ninjago? My sons are obsessed with them and I can't find Halloween costumes to save my life. Didn't know if anyone could get their hands on some...we're desperate. lol
Did you check ebay or Amazon? I ordered DS1's captain hook costume today and am so excited!!Quote:

My sister has been looking for them, too. My nephew is obsessed with Lloyd the Green Ninja lol.Quote:

Are you ok nc? xx
NC I do believe I will be in the same boat with you next Wednesday. We can chat about names and all things boy. We'll try not to feel blue about blue...
I am! Thank you Tiffani and all you ladies. Yesterday was a little rough, and I feel so bad for being like that, but today has been much better. I really will love having another boy and I know my boys will love it too. I just want a DD for my own selfish reason. Maybe one day!!!!!!!!!Quote:

three men - on the lego site they sell the head bands and the swords - could you use a red or green hoody and trousers and a scarf for the heads
LEGOŽ Ninjago Sheath with Snake Sword | LEGO Shop
Green Bandana | LEGO Shop
or lego do a site with t-shirts that some ninjago designs (high streets by us often do these to - add some accessories and it may work and at least they can wear the t-shirt with jeans to
LEGO Boy 4-12 yrs.
link i found from somewhere about how to make one - maybe poss if you have similar clothes lying around already
How to Make a Ninjago Lloyd Garmadon Costume
site i found that sells similar
Boys Halloween costumes - boys costume - BuyCostumes
prices quoted are 25 to 30 dollars - although no idea how much that is as we work in pounds but maybe worth a try
any hope it helps x
Thank you so much Mrs. P!!! I really appreciate the effort. I will look into it. I need to find my creative side.
They seem to be selling for a lot on eBay but they really don't look that intricate , I don't think they'd be hard to make!
I'm glad your ok today. Don't give up hope yet sweetie at all. I think you'll have a lovely surprise at your next scan xxQuote:

Uggggggghhhhh! That's why we found out with my son because I couldn't listen to that my entire pregnancy. Now I get to hear it again. Ha ha. I told her that we just don't mind... that Otis will be a great big brother and we'd love a second son just as much.
oh Surgena!!! That is just like my MIL, she had 3 boys!!!
She said the same thing every time, and last time when it was a girl she was like well u/s isn't always right .. ugh!!!!!!
i think after that and the whole problem last time she doesn't dare show any GD this time.
Are you sure we aren't all married to the same man??? My mil is a bit like this too. I told dh we should tell her when I'm 38 weeks...and I wasn't kidding.
LOL TMAL, that's how I feel about everyone this time around. I haven't even told my own parents yet. They kind of freak out about everything.
NO!!! You will get your DD!!! Think positive 3M&AL!!!! I can live vicariously through you!!!! It is funny, my best friend had a DD, my sister has 3 DDs, and my best friend (who is due in feb and already has a DD) just found out about DD2 and I had not one single jealousy pang. Maybe my GD has made a lot of progress!!!Quote:

It would be way worse to be like some of the ladies that have gotten all 100% girl guesses to be then told boy at gender scan. On IG, there were a few ladies that this just happened to and it must be so heartbreaking. And those ladies have been so lovely and admirable. I would so much rather hear it now than be gutted like that!
I still think you're having a girl NCBeachy (I saw your u/s pics post) - but it sounds like you will thrilled either way :o I was all of you ladies a happy & healthy pregnancy! And I hope to be in your shoes soon :D
I'm so sick !!!! I just had to come on here and whine about it :(
My ex-MIL was the same way! She had two boys and started off telling me "we only produce boys in this family." Um, okay. Then when I was pg with DS1, she wouldn't talk about the pregnancy because it was bad luck, and when we found out it was a boy, she said "I told you so." When we found out that our 2nd was a girl, she told me that u/s were wrong and that there wasn't a chance, so I needed to prepare myself for disappointment. Wouldn't buy pink clothes. Wouldn't call her by her name. And then after she was born, she proceeded to tell me that I would "ruin" her with princesses and such, and that she would never be intelligent because she was "just a girl." It was INFURIATING, and so insulting.Quote:

I'm sorry you're feeling so bad! If it's any consolation, I'm right there with you. But if I'm not sick, I freak out worrying that something is wrong with the baby, LOL.Quote:

Sorry you ladies are sick!! I'm going to attempt not taking my Zofran tomorrow morning... I know I'm 15 1/2 weeks but I'm still slightly terrified lol. I would love to not have to take it anymore. I hate taking medication but I just can't function and take care of my other 2 boys without it.
Wow Shellbelle, that's horrible!! I can't even imagine what has to go through people's heads to even think like that, let alone act like that!
I hear ya mrshonyez. I take it every day too...and another pill at night. I forgot to take one last night and I felt so horrible. I almost couldn't believe it. I was talking to my dad today and he said he couldn't understand mother nature. How can we be this sick and still have healthy babies. I just laughed. I know what he means though. I can't eat a meal and haven't gone to bed with dinner in my stomach for 6 weeks. Does make you wonder...
Omg Shellbelle, I can so relate to you! My crazy MIL told me the same thing when I had my three. With ds1 and 2 she'd say in a smug, gloating tone that I was 'so lucky' that dh had the boy gene because apparently my dh's family 'didn't make girls'. Well, guess who was the first person I texted when I found out DD was all girl? ;p She didn't believe me either and kept telling me that I should've had another boy and that I was 'in for it because girls are harder'. Lol, what would that crazy woman know about raising a girl? It's not like she ever got any daughters herself!Quote:

Then FIL told me that MIL wanted a girl desperately at one point in her life but had boys instead. So deep down I know she's just a jealous woman who never got to have her girl so her comments don't really offend me anymore. Perhaps your MIL is a jealous pants too?
I noticed you have a blended family. How many stepkids do you have?
Two (the oldest boy and girl) are my step kids. The rest are mine biologically, although my first two were with my ex husband. Yes, I think his mom is definitely jealous and this is how she expresses it. His current wife also has a dd from a previous relationship, and all I hear about her from his mom is that she's spoiled and "too girly." It's sad that she can't even enjoy her granddaughters.
That means so much! I love all this amazing support!Quote:

Thinking about gender and names just makes it all so real and it is going to be so hard to make it through the next 25 or so weeks. I just want to hold that sweet baby already!!!
Oh my shell! I'm glad I'm not alone. I really really hate that she took away the 2 weeks I should have been excited it was a girl and made me all nervous the u/s was wrong.
The sickness is reassuring. I am super nervous to take zofran again. Last pregnancy I had to and I hated taking medication but it was down to that or prob dying from dehydration, I had lost 17 lbs or so first tri. But after last time I'm so paranoid to take anything. I'm hoping I can just hang on and if I need to I'll go get an IV a few times.. Pregnancy is fun! I have a friend with DD's and she never gets sick at all!!! I always hate her when I'm pregnant (in a loving way)
Myloves-
See that's another way I can justify HT next time if this isn't a girl lol. Won't want to effect my someday daughter in laws with my jealousy bc I never had a DD ! ;)
I've been having an easy week, morning sickness wise... feel mostly indigestion and perhaps a little blah but not much (except how super sick I feel with this bug I still have! I can't even talk, have lost my voice!)
I had a migraine Wednesday and the headache is still there and it's Saturday now. :( I have been desperate and I've taken paracetamol but that isn't making it budge, just tolerable for a little while.
But the lack of full blown nausea makes me anxious. :(
My nausea has gone now, i guess i should consider myself lucky. I am just still very tired all the time.
NC I wanted to name my 3rd ds Eli!!! I love that name. I let my husband chose his name in the end because I chose all the others..lol. We went with Austin. But I still love Eli. Great choice.
This time around I think we're going with Ian Patrick for a boy, or Ella Grace for a girl.
I have had a hard time with names. For boys I like Eli, Cameron, and DH likes Coby. I like your names!!
Hey ladies...I think we need to put some pressure on Beadin. She's testing this am and not on here yet. I'm dying!!! So I think we should start bullying her because I can't take much more of this. lol
Did she test yet?
Hope those of you that have been feeling poorly start to feel better soon!
Everytime I think my morning sickness has gone it comes back again! I had one full day where I felt pretty normal and could eat fine again and then it was back with avengance the following day! Hopefully through the worst of it now though.
We've been thinking about names more, still not sure for a boy if it is a girl we are going to call her either Sophie or Sophia. Haven't chosen a middle name yet, if it is a boy I'm really not sure so hard to choose a name for a 3rd boy!
On the list so far we've got Luke, Lucas, Alexander, Arthur .... we're not 100% sold on any of them but Arthur seems to be taking the lead at the moment.
My fingers are crossed for Beadin! x
