Ash-- I'd studied enough that I knew it was a girl as soon as she put the wand on me and just waited until the end to ask. Of course, I'm secretly hoping that her "80% girl" is wrong and I'm in that 20%, but I know it's unlikely. I think I'm struggling because I'd really felt good about my chances for a boy. I'm getting better with the idea of an all-girl family. :)

Feeling so thankful today! I have not felt sick yet! I've only used sea bands, 1preggie pop (they're the BEST) and I hard ginger candy! The windows are open with a nice breese coming through on this 74 degree overcast day!, found heartbeat by pubic bone on left side and lost it then found again on right side up higher so little babe is active! House is decently clean and bathrooms scrubbed! Only one puking today [emoji17] we've been slowly passing this sickness over about a week and a half. So ready to find out what little one is so I can get excited either way and start planning the nursery

Sky-wow can't believe it's almost here. I feel nauseous here & there, but some days I feel like I have this huge gaping hole in my stomach & eating only makes it feel better...almost ravenous
! I never had this issue with either of my boys & so worried I'm going to gain weight early [emoji15]Hope you feel better...hopefully this will all be a distant memory soon!
Kat-getting so close & I'm so excited for you!!
Bluebooties-glad your appt went well! Hope your trip was wonderful! I can imagine the heat & being preggo wouldn't be easy, but def magical for your kiddos! I agree-what a strange comment from your OB...making assumptions
Ash-sounds like you've had a wonderful day & wow, that's a score! I bought some of those preggie pop drops! And the comment from your grandma-ugh every comment I hear like that just irks me ugh! People don't think they're saying anything wrong! I thought about telling family July 4th after my appt Friday...but maybe I'll just wait until I know gender like my original plan haha.
Srg-smart plan to go ahead & announce girl to avoid the boy statements! That's precisely why I need to wait until I know gender first...I'll post gender on FB before anyone has a chance to make the annoying comments.
Popping back in for a quick minute...spent the evening with a lot of my family celebrating some birthdays & managed to not let my news slip yet! We'll see how long I can hold out...only 2 people know other than DH! It wasn't that hard this time b/c I reminded myself that this day was about the bday celebrations.
Ash - I m having a better day in days today so far. Knock the wood. [emoji51]
I read about some tips to work on nausea and I tried eating a toast in the morning. More like swallowing and throwing in my stomach.It didn't make me miserable for a few hours. Eating lunch now before I head out for dd's countless classes. [emoji12]I really hope today is a good day and nausea stays away. [emoji52]wow Those MS goodies look great. I m glad the house is clean and boys are feeling better and the one who's still a little unwell also gets all better soon. Wow planning nursery and shopping sounds great.
Srg - That's a great idea. I know I hope it's a boy statement bugs me the most. I know people mean well but sometimes not saying anything is better than saying something stupid. [emoji12]I haven't even told the family yet and when I will, I m going to tell them that I m not going to find out the gender so that they don't even bother saying anything.
I somehow wrote this and sent but it didn't post. [emoji849][emoji51][emoji51][emoji51]
And now it's night. Today overall was better than other days. I hope tomorrow is the same. I did have nausea but it was something I could handle.

To be fair, now I'm just getting "Your poor husband! That's so many weddings/so much estrogen!" statements. [emoji849]

Srg i know how u feel. And i am dreading the same. For this reason I am not planning on telling anyone who isnt either family close friend or co-worker. I am going to keep it to myself for as long as i can. My mom knows and one close friend as i broke down when i found i was pregnant again and had to confide in someone.
These days i am just struggling with how i will manage to raise and afford 4 kids esp. girls !!

Blue I know this sounds completely crazy to a lot of people but I always cloth diaper my babies and it's nothing like it used to be in the old days. The diapers are super cute and super easy to use. I order mostly off www.kellyscloset.com they're expensive to get into but you for sure save money in the long run. I always order two when there is free shipping and they do rewards also. I've gotten at least 4 free diapers through them.

And this will sound even more off the wall BUT if formula is expensive for you there is a Thing called eats of feets I think that's what it is. Where women who produce to much breastmilk (like myself) get connected with a local mother and they would give their extra frozen milk to you at no cost. Some people think it's completely bizarre and some love the idea.

I had heard of the breast milk thing but never really looked into cloth diapering. I will take a look. Thanks !

Srg, Bluebooties- I m so sorry that the world is full of such crappy people. Again, why can't they just say nothing than opening their mouth and talk Shit. Sorry I just get so so mad. We have a lot of girls in the family between us sisters and brothers and the horrible comments never stop and it pisses me off. I m not good with confrontations but my older sisters always had the perfect answer for the nonsense people come up with. And it really surprises me to see how much nonsense they can come up with. Screw them and enjoy your beautiful girls. I always think that my dad and mom must have had it harder than us but they raised a wonderful family and we have so much love between us. We don't need anyone when we r together. My family,our majority of girls clan is always a beautiful place to be a part of and trust me everyone who ever said those horrible comments knows that and wants to have that. I bet we can also build the same love and will be proud one day that we did.
And let's not even spend our energy on people and I have learnt it here. There are a few of us who have girls and get the horrible comments but the boy moms have also heard the same if not more and are equally scared to have another boy. I don't mean to be rude ladies but there is no
Pleasing those people so let's not. I would say We come here every chance we get and share and share more until we feel better. ❤️❤️

Is anyone into baby wearing? I'm wondering about a Tula this time. I have an ergo and a moby but I like the thick back strap of the Tula. [emoji848] decisions decisions.... me and hubby both wear the baby so it'll have to be something manly lol. My ergo has a thinner back strap that goes around waist and I hate how it like cuts my fat off lol when I wear them on my back
[emoji170](07) [emoji170](09) [emoji170](14)[emoji170](15) 🤰 and dreaming [emoji177](18)
I am not a baby wearer but have heard good reviews from friends who have owned a tula
🎀 2010 🎀 2012 🎀 2016
I think that's going to be my first choice. I'm selling my ergo because I really don't care for the back strap

Ash - I want to get an ergo, borrowed one with last baby and I want a solly wrap, think it's like a moby??
I love the sharing the breastmilk idea as I'm an underproducer, but my babies have always been fine with supplementing formula.
I finally bought an Ergo with DD3 and loved it. Planning to wear this one for the first year too to keep my hands free.

Aww kat I have an original ergo I like it just fine if your skinny lol I have extra fluff and don't like the way it cuts off my fat but it's fine if you always wear on front but my toddler is the one who always loves to be in it and he's getting heavier so it's cutting more fat [emoji23][emoji23]. I love the moby for baby they just snuggle in perfect. It takes a min. To practice wrapping but I found a great deal on my moby on eBay. I'm thinking of a Tula or ergo 360 this time. And I've always been an over producer big time. I sold my milk on onlythebreast.com with ds3 (didn't have time with #4) and helped supplement a set of twins in Texas. It would be a much better feeling connecting with someone and giving t away this time.
Ugh I've done so good to keep my excitement of finding gender under wraps and now looking at wraps and talking breastmilk is getting me soooo excited... I can not wait!!

I have a friend who swears by the Tula and another that swears by the Boba! I always used a wrap, but it was very inexpensive, infantino I believe, and it worked well for me! I have another friend who had the coolest wrap to use in the swimming pool. I thought that was a neat idea!
Lola I have a pool wrap also. [emoji85]Beach front baby wrap and I love it.

#6 was my first sway which was successful
http://genderdreaming.com/forum/add-...y-attempt.html
and ive swayed again for #7 but dont know what im having.
http://genderdreaming.com/forum/add-...y-attempt.html
we had a girl for #2 but we lost her mid pregnancy, no sway with her.
our official birth order is:
boy, *girl*, boy, boy, boy, girl, girl, (new baby ?)
but people cant see our first girl so to the outside world we have
boy, boy. boy, boy, girl, girl, (new baby ?)
i hope this makes sense!! xx
** sorry ash just to add since i missed one of your questions!!
both my sways were super laid back, very basic compared to alot of the ones on here!! xx
Thanks 4blue2pink mine was super laid back also. You sway gets me hopeful even though I was only on le for 7 weeks and had to many attempts. My attempts are what I'm worried about. I had what I like to think of as 2 but ff says 3 [emoji17]. I ate two meals most days and only small snack when I couldn't stand it but mostly filled in the gaping hole with coffee and Coke Zero. I had wayyyy to much coffee and aspartame to be healthy but hopefully it helped. I'm sure you've answered this before but when will you find out? I'm horrible with dates

We have a baby in here and he/she was really moving around for us this morning. Now I'm measuring ahead by a couple days. I was able to bring my youngest son and he was so thrilled to see the baby live on the screen.

How sweet dreaming! So I guess no results on nipt yet? Did they give you a time frame or just say they'd call?

Hi girls! Just popping in to say that my anatomy scan went well and we turned our heads while they checked gender. But I was getting up and saw the last pic on the screen and I am pretty sure we are having another boy. :( I am pretty bummed, but I know this little guy is a fighter to still be with us. Boy #5. I am crazy!!! I have the pics posted in my ddg if you want to see.
http://genderdreaming.com/forum/due-...17-5-a-11.html
I'll have to check t out in a bit Shan it's not working! Congrats on a healthy baby though! That's my ultimate goal but a girl would be lovely. Sounds like your in a good place with it and that makes me happy for you!

Ash - it depends on the day and the hour. I am working on it. Damn pg hormones are not helping.
I know. I cry all the dang time!! I would feel a little crushed inside but I'm trying to prepare for the news. I've had 4 boys I don't know why I expect a girl. I'm kinda numb to the thought but I guess it is possible some how since others here do it. But I feel we're blessed with the perfect baby that is meant for our family and just keep trying to remind myself that. ❤️ hang in maybe you'll be pleasantly surprised

im convinced snacking is a huge blue factor so no snacks is good! and it sounds like you had a really strong LE diet going on :) i wouldnt rule yourself out for pink at all!!Quote:

i really believe laid back is best for pink :) atomic posted on a thread of mine when i joined the site saying that whatever *mojo* is required for the control freak kitchen sink style pink sways seems to sway strongly blue and basically override everything they are doing to sway!! she can pretty much tell which women will very likely get pink sway opposites based on how cray-cray they get :-/ (not to say there arent opposites in the laid back pink sways its just much more prevalent in the super-super strict ones)
i think im going team green :) i was team green up till 37 weeks last time and found out with all my others around 20 weeks so would love to experience the surprise xx
Oh boy! Self control you have!! I'm dying over here with all you team geeen I want to know more than y'all [emoji23]. With my boys I always had a very he diet. I ate a very wide variety of foods and always meat. Bd all the time 3 attempts was low for us! And I had never ever skipped breakfast before.Quote:

Ash - I just don't understand how y'all bd allll the time with all those kiddos [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] are they all good sleepers?! Do they magically go to bed at a certain time - help me!! It takes 30 minutes for us to get our 3 yo to go to sleep!
Shan - I'm sorry! Did they include that potty shot picture even when you didn't want to know?? Seems strange.
Haha kat yes we have a bed time routine bath book bed at the exact same time every night and they go along really well. If they're not tired so far we've been lucky they just lay in bed and play

LOL...kat, DH and I are the same as Ash. It was quite the change to be on the e3d pattern I put us on. :) All our kiddos go to bet at the same time with a movie and the youngest goes to bed when we do. They know that when our bedroom door is locked, just wait :) lol
Anyway, it is their procedure to do a potty shot with all the other measurements. We looked away, but as I was getting up I looked at the screen and saw the pic. :( Oh well. Can't change it now.
