Good night ladies, see you all tomorrow!!
Lol Hobber DH will be at work while I do most of the unpacking and I will be honest, some of that stuff is probably moving from one box to another and discreetly heading to Goodwill :p
That is so awesome that your house sold quickly, I am really hoping ours will. It will take a huge weight off our shoulders if it does. They say property in our city is pretty hot this spring so I hope that's true for us. Some rooms could really use updating... I hope that doesn't deter buyers. That's the biggest thing I worry about, but I hope somebody sees potential based on what we've done thus far!
Sorry about your cat TTC. I think as suspected this was false labor. BUT geez that took it out of. I was contracting 4-6 mins apart for about 8 hours. It never got any worse, but strong enough to take my breath away. So annoying, but I am thankful, I am barely going to be 37 weeks. He needs more time. Im ready for bed!
Oh TTC5, I am so sorry about your cat. :(
Tink, I think it is good that your baby Zane is staying put a little longer. Must have been an exciting day!
TTC5, Again, I am so sorry for your sweet kitty, and that DD had to be there when she passed away.
She's met the rainbow bridge now, and returned to heaven, sweet kitty cat!
Attachment 2686
Last night was just horrific to see our cat go through such suffering. And she must have been outside for a few hours in the cold waiting to be found and that makes me so so sad :(
DH came home from the vet and was bawling his eyes out and he never cries.
DD is ok, she refused to leave the vet room even when they intubated her, saw her having seizures and go in to respitory/cardiac arrest. It was tech. her cat although we got her 2 weeks after my sister passed away she was like a healing therapy for us :'(
Her whole body has shut down and the vet said we could continue with the intubation etc or to inject her to put her asleep peacefull. We chose to let her go with the injection and put her out of the pain than have her pass in more pain.
So sad :(
Sorry to hear about your cat 5!! :hugs:
I think nasty was meant in a joke way Flava:) You are quite right you have every right to wait til birth to announce!! Its just that of all the posters on the blue board I think you and Lola are on the top of everybody else's list for a bit of luck your way, we're just excited for you thats all:hug2:
Flava, that comment was not meant in a mean way at all, I can assure you! We are all just so excited for you and impatient to know the gender of your baby :)
i don't think anyone was trying to be mean or cruel. i took it as a joke, but really i think we all cared, i did anyway. it just you forget to log in for 1 day and there are like 4 or 5 pages to go back and read through. unless the kids are calm some of us don't have time to go back and read for pages and pages. im still trying to finish a library book i've had for about 3 months now.still on chapter 3!
Flava, we all care about you! I know that "nasty" comment was just a joke. I can't even remember who wrote it, but no one here wants to hurt you! We are all excited to hear the gender of your baby, and everyone is rooting for you. I am really sorry you felt ignored. :hugs: Things do move fast on those threads, and a lot of time I post stuff that doesn't get replied to either.
Flava - I'm sorry you felt ignored, hun. :hug2: So glad to hear all is well with your little one! Please post a pic of your little babe!
TTC5 - I'm so very sorry to hear about your cat :( :hugs:
Nasty was never meant in a mean way and I don't literally mean you are nasty...it was said affectionately as a joke!! I really care about you and your dream for a little boy...and I will be thrilled if this is your little man, as much as I will be thrilled if I get one too. As I will also be here to support you if it's girl #5...cause I have been there and know how that feels too :hugs:
Agh I'm just now reading this and I'm so sorry Flava if you felt ignored or slighted in any way!!! I hardly ever read some of the threads/forums and only notice if something pops up in the "new posts" section.
I only read New Posts too x
Wow, ruff day,
Flava: Like what everyone else said, I think you are one the top ones everyone is rooting for. You have had perfect sways and still got a girl, so everyone is just rooting for you to have that little man you long for. We all understnad waiting until birth, though. I hope you feel bette.
Hobber: We have not completely decided on a name yet, either Gideon Raymond or Gabriel Raymond. We may even change it after we look at him....who knows. Did you guys already pick names? I can't remember.
ELP: How is Davey already 2 months old?!?! Sounds like you son did good even with a win. Do your other sons box also?
TTC5: I am so sorry about your cat. Animals are so special.
skrimpy: I love the nickname. We called DD1 pacman, because the first u/s looked like it.
Tink: I hope you are getting rest.
We did our monthly grocery shopping today and I started have conx at the last stop. Thank goodness they have died down. I was getting a little nervous. I have never had preterm labor. Now, time to finish packing my bags for the hospital and get them in the car.
bubby be here soon you think WP!!
Flava I think all of us just got excited knowing you know because we all so badly want you to have your blue dream come true, and the thought that *maybe* we could be celebrating that good news for you is what made everyone jump in on wanting to know. I'm sure everyone wants what is best FOR YOU and if it's best for you to wait til birth then we all support that.
TTC5 I'm so sorry about your cat; such a sad story!
SKRIMPY!!! Can't believe you're preggers again, I LOVE IT! :) FX for blue, and if not blue then NO GD! So excited for you and Riceball; here's hoping it's a perfectly lovely pregnancy in every way. You and your DH sound like me + mine... seriously we hesitate to touch if we're not wanting to have a baby, LOL. We joke that I shouldn't even use the bathroom after him ;)
WP! Your ticker got me all excited ... 31 days! So fun!
And happy birthday to all you May babies! My DD2 turned 3 at the beginning of the month.
Baby Michael is doing AWESOME!!!
Can't believe DD3 is 10 weeks old now. She's sleeping thru the night consistently now and I still can't believe it; both of her sisters had me up 2-3 times a night at this age. She's a dreamy little thing and definitely makes me want one more little one. I will say though we were out today all 5 of us and she had on a blue dress and some old lady said what a sweet boy, and it gave my heart a little ache. Wouldn't change her of course but oh.... there's still just a hole in my heart waiting for a DS :(
Nice to hear from you Begonia!
Hey Ladies! Remember me lol
Things have been crazy for us. Charlie is getting so big, he's almost 3 1/2 months now and still not sleeping well. He eats constantly which puts my big butt on the couch for several hours each morning. We almost moved for dh's job but at damn near the last minute it fell through. I had about 1/4 of my house packed up so I had to unpack and get settled again. I'm catching up a bit but simply cannot go back all those pages lol If I missed anything please update me :kiss:
5 - OMG Congrats!!!!! So excited for you! I'll have to go look at the pics!! So sorry about your cat, poor dd :(
Tink - You are so close!! Can't wait to see pics of baby Zane!
Skrimpy - Congrats on your BFP!!!
Flava - Sorry you've been upset hun. So glad your little bean in doing well and, though we are dying to know, you announce whenever you are ready :bighugs:
B - I had that happen though I will never understand why, dd3 was in a denim jumper with a pink shirt, a pink bow in her hair and little pink sandals. Some lady commented on my cute son, I was a little hurt but mostly terribly amazed she missed so many details lol
Girlmom - Almost 34 weeks, you are awesome!!
Happy Birthday to all those May ladies and babies :)
Thank you Begonia!! I'm really thrilled to be pg after such a hard time with Honor. You gals mean so much to me and I appreciate the support that I got while pg with her so much :). I am praying so hard for no GD this time around, but it's tough isn't it, no matter how you feel before you know. Things are better now, having sweet Honor has really helped me a lot. I still want a little guy so badly though.
I can't believe your precious girl is 10 weeks! So glad she's a sweetie for you, my third was also a little angel that left me wanting more (and now I'm on #6 lol, watch out if your DH is in the bathroom :p)
I know how you feel about those little comments and things. I really enjoy dressing Honor and even looking at girl clothes (I've come such a long way in a year, lol!) - but I still feel that twinge when I look at baby boy stuff. I have a little navy blue cap that matches a couple of Honor's dresses and have had someone mistake her for a boy when she was tucked down in the baby carrier. It does leave a longing there.
I hope if you guys decide to go for another LO you will get that little DS-shaped hole in your heart filled.
Ty again for the congrats and the update on you!
We have been wondering where you been hiding 3p1b ;)
WP any more ctx?
Oh! And 3P1B's story reminded me... with DD1 lol. I was taking her into church when she was around a year old. She was wearing a pink dress. I mean pink with lace, ruffles, and all that jazz, ladies. She didn't have much hair at that point though. But, still, she was dressed to the nines in pink. The usher greeting us at the door patted her on the head and said "what a cute little boy!"
This is 100% a true story, LOL. I laughed about it even then :rofl: I just keep wondering how he managed that blunder :p
It's amazing isn't it lol
3P1B, nice to see you!! Charlie sounds like a chow hound! He will slow down eventually, right? At least you have time to sit and read a book, or catch up on some TV! That picture of him is SO CUTE!!
Oh, I have an opposite story about my DS! I waited a LONG time to cut his hair when he was little because he had these beautiful curls. WHen he was about 18 months old, I had him in the grocery cart with DD1. He was wearing camo pants and a shirt with a truck on it, and some old man asked DD1 how old her sister was! She very bossily told him, "That's my BROTHER!!" It was pretty funny.
3P So nice to hear from you!
Thanks Hobber! That's his 3 month picture :) I can only hope at some point he stops the cluster feedings but until then I'll try to use the time to check in more.
I love your dd, way to stand up for her brother!
Thanks Tink, I've missed you guys!
3P1B my DD3 is a cluster feeder also... during the day it is every 2 hours still but thankfully she goes 8-10 hours at night w/o it. But right now she's sucking away, lol. And smiling at me. Nursing is pretty sweet :awe:
Skrimpy ITA the support here is great. I still can't really read the TTC boy thread, but this one is easier for me :) FX we're getting to cheer your blue news this pregnancy though... your diet sure looked spot on!
Love all the stories about the babies getting identified incorrectly :rofl: People just have to say something so do without even paying attention I reckon!
37 weeks Tink, whooo hooo! You and WP are racing to the finish :)
B: 10 wks, time sure does fly. I bet you look great already too huh?
3p1b: You and B both remind me of how fast all this goes. It seems like a month ago you had Charlie, not 3.5 months. Before long this baby will be here and I will have no excuse for having a big belly....lol.
Thanks for asking about me 5, just normal bh conx off and on. It must have been from all the walking on Saturday. I got the curtain done and up, the room is done being painted. Washed the bedding today and I just have a few more things to hang up in his room. THEN, I will take some pics and maybe even a belly shot.....fully covered :) I am going to get a cheap pair of flip flops to put in my hospital bag, because I forgot shoes last time. I was not thinking straight at 1am and 10cm before I got to the hospital.
Doc appt tomorrow, I have to do they group B strep test....I thought I may have my midwife go ahead and check me, but I don't want her to get anything started.....hmmm.
Wow I just caught up on pages and pages and pages of this thread :)
Flava, I somehow missed the CVS news too on the due date thread. I'm sure it was there, and I really am sorry if you felt that no one cared about your news. We really do care :heart: I'm sure we are all still dying to know, but you'll tell us when/if you want to, I can respect that. We really all just trying to cheer you on, and the only problem with a forum like this is sometimes tone can be mistaken. Trust me, we are all supportive of you. For what it is worth, I think your baby is a boy, and if you wanna tell us, you'll us know if my feeling is right or not.
RE gender ID mistakes: our DS1 is such a pretty boy and I love when he has his blonde curls grow out some too, but whenever i do that, even if he's rocking a dino shirt and shorts, ppl will glance and say what a cute little girl. So now I try to keep his hair shorter and more "boy" looking but gosh I do love his curls!
Begonia, I still feel in my heart that you will one day have a 4th! You will be like 3Pink1Blue :)
