Sky- I’ll send you a PM of me and Olivian. She looks like a mash up of me, my DS1 from her nose up, and my DS2 and me from the nose down. My Grandma thinks she looks like me and my DS2. She should know- she raised me!

Ash those outfits are gorgeous <3
XX ive only seen you in your bump pics but i think olivian looks just like you :)
mommy2apples how are you feeling?
sky with baby #2 and #3 the others were too young to really understand but with #4 he was born at night and they woke up and walked into our bedroom to find baby :) my oldest said "whats that?" haha and then they all wanted to hold him
with baby #5 and #6 they have been older and very excited!! with #6 she was born while they were at school and nursery so the older 4 came home, met her and all went crazy!! they were all "can we keep her? please can we keep her!!" it was so cute <3 its like Christmas with the level of excitement and then its non-stop requests to hold baby :)
i know it probably seems strange not telling them and just surprising them with the baby but after seeing how excited they get i couldnt imagine doing it any other way, and it also means i dont have to deal with non-stop "when is the baby arriving?" type questions!!
4blue2pink that is just gorgeous how your kids reacted [emoji7][emoji7][emoji7] cant wait to hear how they react this time!

pbn they have been begging for another baby for months now and with them being that bit older again (older 4 will be 7,6,5 and almost 4) i think its going to be crazy levels of excitement!! my younger 2 are aged 2 and 1 so i dont know how much they will understand although my 2 year old loves babies and always carries a toy round with her and says its her baby :) at the moment "baby" is a big pink octopus!! dh found her loading it into the highchair the other day to feed it!! :D so im sure she will want to hold baby if nothing else :)
are your kids excited?
My almost 6 year old is although I think the excitement has worn off abit simply because how long it takes [emoji23] my youngest doesn't really understand. He knows there's a baby in mummy's tummy but he doesn't reeeaaaally get it lol!! Cant wait for the day they meet him or her in the hospital [emoji3][emoji3]

yes the fact that it does take so long is another reason id rather not tell my lot because itd be non stop nagging "is the baby coming today?" type questions from at least 4 of them!! im sure your kids will be over the moon with baby when they meet him/her :heart: cant believe how close this group is getting to babies arriving now!! :D were you team green with your other 2? im really enjoying it, much more than i thought i would if im honest :) so glad i didnt find out when i had some doubts around half way!!
I'm loving team green too!!! I found out with my first, had to know asap lol. My second was meant to be team green but the sonographer made a hugely obvious slip up so while we didn't confirm we still knew [emoji4] this time I'm absolutely clueless. I seen both a girly and boyish looking nub during my 12w scan (plus I was only 11w6days so I knew if I seen anything it would be too early anyway) Almost caved then as I had gender done with nipt testing but after a couple days I was strongly team green again and haven't looked back [emoji3] I am also so strangely relaxed at the moment. I have nothing oranised yet but don't feel there's any rush or that much to do really... like chalk and cheese compared to my first [emoji23] How about you?

i found out with #1-5 at 18-20 weeks, with #6 i was team green until 37 weeks!! i went for a scan and caved!! haha regretted it after because i felt id robbed myself of the surprise.
i am clueless too i really have no feeling one way or the other on what this baby might be, and i am also super relaxed :) i have some neutral newborn stuff but thats it, im not really organised overall and we haven't even talked names (i honestly dont see a point until baby is here and we know if boy/girl) but i still feel completely chilled :) total opposite to what i imagined team green would be, i thought itd bring a whole new level of stress due to the disorganisation but it seems the opposite, its also making it seem sort of surreal that there's going to be a baby in 7 ish weeks, i think its because we aren't waiting for *him* or *her* this time so its sort of impossible to imagine if that makes sense?
4blue2pink! Thank you so much for asking! I'm feeling excited and have my faith in the lord that next week will be the week that I see my little ones heartbeat! As I know there is more to my testimony he had me give Wednesday at church then first part and I'm beyond excited to be able to stand up and testify of his answered prayers and miracles he still makes once I see the heartbeat and again once I take our baby that will complete our family in July!
Nausea and tender breasts are the biggest contenders right now, but waiting for the symptoms to be piled on thick as I keep praying for them! Betas are going up fantastic also!
October 25: 49
October 27: 131
October 31: 601
November 9: 5,776!
How are you feeling momma? Thank you so much for asking me! I think it's neat how you bring a baby in to them and are like surprise!!

mommy2apples those numbers are looking great :D the sickness is rough but its also reassuring isn't it :) fingers crossed you get to see a strong healthy heartbeat at your scan!!
im feeling good thankyou :heart: having a lot of stomach acid coming up into my throat/mouth which isnt nice and im having to sleep sat up because of it but other than that i feel fine :) cant quite wrap my head around only having 7 weeks (ish) left!!
haha yes its very much SURPRISE KIDS..A BABY!! :D
Thanks 4blue2pink! Yes I'll take the symptoms without complaint for sure!!
Wow 7 weeks!! It's so close!! All you'll be holding your newborn and soon!! Too excited for you!!

So gastric reflux? That is terrible! Hope you are sleeping comfortably by sitting up sleeping!

im not sure what it is but yes id guess at some kind of reflux, i think its because the valve at the top of my stomach relaxes and that allows the acid to come up, ive had it with the last 4 of my babies and it always goes within a couple of weeks of them being born so im certain its a pregnancy thing, im sleeping ok as long as im fairly upright, lying down is really not an option!!
i know its so close!! :heart: it still doesn't feel real im not sure it will until baby is here :) are you planning to find out gender?
I'm in conflict with it, I want to know so I can shop, but then I could care less what gender is really. I just want my healthy baby.

everything crossed for healthy for you :heart: not caring about gender is amazing and so freeing i think :) this pregnancy is the first time i haven't cared about it (thanks mainly to being team green) and im loving every second
Thank you 4blue2pink! It does make it carefree just being able to enjoy your pregnancy doesn't it?

so carefree!! its honestly such a relief, i mean sure it may come back to bite me on the day who knows, but the entire pregnancy hasn't been consumed by gender and that in itself has been amazing :)
I bet you won't even regret it 4blue2pink!

4blue2pink - I am so surprised that you have been able to hide the pregnancy from the kids and have given them such a wonderful surprise. I can only imagine the level of excitement in your house. I can totally picture it being Christmas all over again and receiving the most amazing gift and then begging you to keep the baby. How precious. This just melts my heart. Can’t wait to hear their reaction this time. And I know what you mean about being relaxed for not finding out the gender. I did too until dh couldn’t hold any longer. [emoji12]
I honestly hate how everyone just narrows down the pregnancy to that what question, “You know if it’s a girl or a boy” makes me so mad. I have learnt my lesson to not ask this question? It’s a lot of pressure on mom to be especially when family has made it obvious that they are hoping for a particular gender. It will be a wonderful surprise for both you and Pbn. ❤️
Mommy2apples- Those numbers look great. So excited for your appointment. ❤️ Nausea and tender breasts are good and so comforting. Isn’t it?
Pbn - I love the names. We still don’t have a name for this baby. [emoji52]

Sky definitely is comforting!! [emoji7] Thank you!!

im really hoping it will help not knowing ahead of time mommy2apples :)
sky its awful how gender seems to be the only thing anyone cares about isnt it, its like people are obsessed with what you are having and that only makes GD worse, at least for me other peoples comments about "ANOTHER boy" really made the whole thing so much harder to deal with. which is why we stopped announcing to anyone until after the baby was born to take the outside pressure off, it seems people generally wont make gender comments about a newborn (though sadly some still do :( )
im really excited for their reactions this time as well :) one of the mums at their swimming lesson recently had a baby who they are all obsessed with, its impossible to get them out of the changing room until they have all had their turn seeing the baby and seeing them with her makes me so excited to be able to surprise them again :heart:
how are you feeling? are you still over the moon to be having your boy i bet? i love seeing people have successful sways :D
Sorry I was MIA for so long. Been a long few days with the craziness in our house. I am doing ok, but def know we will not be having anymore kids. I am stretched so thin now. It has been a struggle with a newborn again to be honest. It will get easier I am sure. I will try to attach a photo. Still can't post pics sorry.
Go easy on yourself Shann. Those first few weeks are always an adjustment then the bone tiredness settles in for another few months.... great to hear from you whenever you get the chance (or energy [emoji38]) to update. Big hugs and you're doing an amazing job!! My hats off to you and I can only imagine how thinly stretched you must be right now! Can your eldest kids help out more, even with general tidying up, putting washing on etc?

We got to walk around for a few miles last night in upper 20 degree weather with “bits” of leftover snow on the ground and it was so enjoyable. Here’s my baby bump 30w 5d

ive got around 7 weeks left, ive had them all at either 39 or 40 weeks so im thinking very end of december/beginning of jan is going to be pretty accurate :) we may end up having them around the same time (if you dont go before!!)
