Hello all!! Trying to get caught up on the past few days. Aidansmum love the picts!!
Mumto3boys & greasemonkey congrats to you both!!!!!!!!!! I'm very happy for both of you!!
Menlc611 fingers crossed all is ok!
Hope everyone is doing good!
So had my first really upsetting comment the other day. Told a supposed good friend of mine that baby was a boy & got a crappy response. She just had her first DD after 2 DS's & swears by having DH release than DTD (which is exactly what I wound up doing). She knew I wanted a girl really bad & that I was trying different things to sway. When I told her baby was a boy the response I got was that this proves its just a 50/50 shot & none of that stuff works. She is planning on having another child & wants a girl also so she than went on to say she will stick to the way she did it since that works(again I did do that also).
You know what how about just some compassion?? She knew how desperately I wanted baby to be a girl. Why feel the need to throw it in my face that everything I tried didn't work. Plus I did what she plans to do & that didn't work for me so why is she so sure that it will work for her again. It just really hurt my feelings. Now obviously she really isn't as good a friend as I thought, she had also told me before I was pregnant with this one that I shouldn't have anymore. I'm not a mean person & I don't like feeling this way but I can't help but hope her next kid is a boy.
Had fun with the kids at Disney, DD is doing much better with the fact that baby is a boy. Surprisingly Disney was a lot harder on me than I anticipated. Saw way too many adorable baby & toddler girls & it really broke my heart. Sorry for the downer post & thanks for letting me vent.
Dreams, It can't be easy to feel the way you're feeling and you should certainly expect better than that from a good friend. I would never put my friends down like that or say anything other than encouraging in that situation, after all you're still getting used to having another baby boy, as you said, no compassion. I'm sorry she made you feel that way but there will be people you think you can trust and they let you down. I'm glad DH is supporting you and that at least you are having fun with your family. A big hug and don't let people put you down, you are pregnant with a beautiful, healthy baby boy that will bring so much happiness to your life you will look back and see that you wouldn't want him to be anyone else other than himself. x
Dreams529, what an awful thing for a friend to say. She obviously didn't listen well and wasn't being very compassionate. I kind of hope she has a boy next time too.
Thanks for mentioning how seeing little girls at Disney was tough. I'm having some heartache seeing little girls too. It's not that I'm not ok with having a boy but I still long for a girl. And that is so unlikely to happen. I try not to get carried away with the sadness, but it is there and it often shows up when I see a little girl.
I don't find myself longing for this little boy yet. I'm sad about that, I want to enjoy him, but it is hard to without knowing him. I can feel him moving sometimes now and I hoped that would help me feel more excited about him, but I'm still kind of in a space of not knowing. Maybe when I can sense more about him, like what positions he likes to be in and what music he likes, maybe then I'll feel more connected. I feel pretty confident that at latest when he is born I'll be over the moon for him. But not now.
Just wanted to pop in and say yay for all of the pink news!
PFP- I know you must feel sad, but your son will be a perfect addition to your family. Give yourself time.
I know, its very weird I've waited so long to go there but I still can't because it hasn't hit me - it will when she's born I suppose - I can wait, I've got a couple of outfits for hospital etc... but I'm already being given things left right and center, including the grandmothers who will spoil the crap out of her before she's even born Lol...Quote:

Not a friend - I have one of those and I deliberately chose not to tell her I wouldn't give her the satisfaction as she has previously rubbed in my face "I've got two girls, then I got my boy" so we're just the lucky ones!... or my other one "I got my girl first so I'm not to worried that this ones a boy"...although I'd rather another girl because their clothes a much prettier - seriously I couldn't care less about 'pink' clothes or how fun it is to paint nails - I have 3 boys she is going to be dainty but tough! she will kick a ball and jump in mud.... and if my boys want to play with her dolly's well so be it!.Quote:

Momto3, I love that picture!!!!! That is the best one I have seen so far lol My Dr didn't give us a picture but he was trying to tell my husband about why she is a girl and DH told him that he already knows what a vajayjay looks like lol!!
Dreams, now I AM hoping your friend has a boy! That was really mean and inconsiderate of her to say something like that.
You know, I had struggled about posting the results on my FB page because I have friends who are still struggling with GD and I wanted to be respectful. I am not plastering it all over FB and I am not being mean about it either out of respect. But I also think that almost all my friends are over the moon for me and are happy I am having my DD, especially after the struggles I have had the past few months with moving and hubby and this pregnancy.
GD is one of the worst things that can happen to a woman carrying a child. It debilitates you and it gives nothing in return, it just takes and takes and takes but in the end WE as women triumph over GD because sooner or later we love our little ones to death and can't ever imagine life without them and that is what makes us stronger :hug2:
Our little man - 25+4. A little sleepy but quite a thinker - spent most of the scan resting it's chin on it's fist. He even opened his eyes for a little whih I really wasn't expecting until at least next week! I think for now he takes after daddy...

It's hard to know how to deal with this well. Have you picked out a name for baby yet? If so and it were me, I'd maybe post something along the lines of "expecting baby [name] in August" and leaving it at that rather than the "OMG!!!! A GIRL I'M SO HAPPY...". Short and sweet and not too dramatic. xQuote:

Sorry to gate crash but that is SO true GM and brought tears to my eyes reading it. I also think it makes me/ other women who have experienced GD love our children MORE to somehow try and make up for those initial feelings... Thank you for posting that Hun and congrats on your princess :) xxQuote:

Hugs to you! I don't know her or what she is thinking but maybe it was such a sigh of relief that she got what she deeply desired that that is her way of covering it up? A sway is just a chance of increasing the odds of a certain sex, and for some, esp if they were doing complete opposites of what sways a certain sex it can work - but not always. There's so much more involved!! You just be happy and proud of your precious little baby boy!!
Gafan - hope you start feeling lots of love and connection to that sweet little boy! Grease is so right....GD is terrible. That's what I'm afraid of the most if this one is another boy. I know I will love him to pieces, but I don't want to constantly have that ache inside for a girl :( I hope you have a complete change of heart soon and have some peace and not get caught up with GD!!!
Gpkm - good luck! Can't wait to hear! :)
Love the pictures! I tried to upload our picture of our 10 week peanut afterwards but it wouldn't work. I'll try again after our 20 week.
I have an idea of how we are going to announce what we are having...but unfortunately it works best if its a girl lol. I'll have to get more creative if it's a boy. For most people, it will be the first time people have heard our news. (I think anyhow, my brother-in-laws wife is not too happy so she's working on spilling the beans for us..grr).
Not much new here, just trying to be patient for our ultrasound! I have definitely felt more movement this week so that makes things a lot more exciting. :) The past few weeks it's mainly just been quick flutters and such.
From2to3 when's your scan?
Bunny, I already made the announcement on Wednesday when I came home because I had sooo many others waiting to hear back. Pretty much everyone knew it was a girl I guess except me so it wasn't a shock to most lol
And yes, we have settled on a name, this little one will be named Cerafina Mae :)
that is s cute Grease! I love the way you are spelling it too!
Good luck hon, will be thinking of you!!!Quote:

Oh bunny, look at that sweet face!!!!! He is so handsome :)
Thank you all so much for your comments they really helped. Funny how gd works. You think you have it under control & than it just cripples you. Hate that I keep thinking about trying again. I'm very happy to be having this little man just wish he came with a little girl too. Trying very hard to just to push these feelings away & live in the moment but of course that's easier said than done. Thinking I have to stay far away from that so called friend for my own sanity. Your words really did help so much!!
Bunnywabbit your LO is absolutely adorable!! GPKM good luck on your scan tomorrow fingers crossed for you!!
Dreams, I really wish someone would have honestly told me how horrible GD is. I wish someone had told me that you won't fall in love instantly, you won't be able to get away from it, you will see it around you 10X worse than before you had it and that it's OK!!
Praying things get better for you dreams :heart:
PFP, not sure when you will get on here again but I just wanted to let you know I have been thinking of you....Miss you on here so we will be here for you for support when and if you are ready :HH:
Doesn't get any girlier than that, cute shot! :)Quote:

GPkm, good luck with next ultrasound, hopefully LO will show you the good this time :)
Grease, what a lovely name! didn't settle on one yet, finding it very hard to pick one! :/
Good luck Gpkm! Xxx
[QUOTE=Grease, what a lovely name! didn't settle on one yet, finding it very hard to pick one! :/[/QUOTE]
You will find a name :) Are there a few you like? I must admit I am not in love with the name but I kind of settled because it's the only one that hubby and I found and both liked.
GP, thinking of you, hope you get to see little one and he/she cooperates :)
Good luck GPKM! Hope you hear pink!
Not until April 3rd....Quote:
