It was nice and Christmas is my most favorite time if the year, but I'm looking forward to taking it all down sonincan focus on reorganizing my house and getting ready for our baby. It was really nice opening gift for baby girl. Loved all her gifts and outfits!!

I would love to have a fondue set!! Do any of you have a Melting Pot restaurant near you? I've personally never been there, but I've heard it's amazing! Everything is fondue style, from appetizers to dessert!! Now I'm starving and need to go eat!! Lol!!!

Super cute outfit! We have a melting pot nearby but have never gone. We make a fondue every new years though, yummy chocolate. We love dipping wafer cookies in!

Very cute Brandles!
Melting Pot is where I got the idea... We've been twice (when we actually had money to spend lol, it was over $100 per couple...) and it is delicious. I made the copycat cheddar/imported Swiss recipe tonight. It tasted really good, but was slightly too thick. Will have to fix that next time! But the chocolate was really good!

We have a Melting Pot near us and we love it. DH and I try to go once a year and my mom, grandma and sister and I go sometimes. When we went on a big family vacation in June all 5 of the female adults went together to one.

Hi ladies! I hope everyone had a great Christmas! Looks like folks got some goodies they wanted :) We got spoiled, as usual. But can I say how glad I am now to be DONE traveling for the season and be home for a long time! I love all the chaos, but it got to me this year. We just got home yesterday and I am literally hanging around (at noon) in my pjs and loving every second of it!
I have my anatomy scan tomorrow. I am just hoping all is well. I think it is a girl, so I am not terribly worried about them telling me opposite. But I just hope she is healthy. Kid loves to move like wildfire one day and then be quiet as a mouse for two or three in between...just enough to freak me the heck out. Today I have barely felt her. I try to hold out on the Doppler, but fail a lot and end up using it for a minute to hear her heartbeat (and it usually sounds like she is moving, those gurgling noises, so I think I just can't feel her a lot).
But anyway. Hope all is well with everyone. I'll be around more often now that I am home and it's the dead of winter here.
Oh...I am hoping for a fast labor this time. I am a LONG laborer. My first was 60 hours (no lie), my second was "only" 9 hours...but that was with pitocin because I progressed nothing in the first 6 hours (water broke/meconium) and wanted to avoid the enviable c-section my doc was threatening me with. So, my third I do expect to be at least 24 hours if I don't have any augmentation (which I will try desperately to avoid).

Brandles~ That headband is just too cute! :)
Hotdogz~ Good luck with your scan tomorrow, sending pink thoughts and very healthy baby vibes to you!
Hope you ladies enjoyed your holiday! :) I felt able to participate in the kitchen a little bit for Christmas dinner and everything turned out really good. The kids enjoyed their gifts from us and their uncle during the morning, then my mom and sister brought theirs in time to enjoy dinner with us. DS2 said it was the best Christmas ever. :) Even tummy baby got a present, my mom said she couldn't resist when she saw the toy.
This year has truly been bittersweet and I'm more than ready to see 2012 come to an end.

Hi lovely ladies,
Not had chance to read all the posts as I've kept away for a while to deal with my gd. As happy as I truly am for all you lovely ladies that are expecting your girls it was just making me feel so sad hearing about all the excitement when I felt the way I did.
I think I have finally turned a corner with it today though, I'm still struggling to get my head round it a bit as I was so sure this was a girl this time. The pregnancy has been so different to my boys and I have every girl symptom on the old wives lists! But, I am very grateful to be expecting a healthy baby and even excited about having another boy. We've chosen a name for him which has helped a lot, and I think the thing that has actually helped the most (in a weird way) is making the decision that we are definitely done after this baby.
I was starting to obsess over how I should sway, when we should ttc if we have number 4, looking at stats of having a girl after 3 boys etc etc. It wasn't helping, and at the end of the day the only way I would want 4 children would be if our last one was definitely a girl. We can't have that guarantee and HT isn't an option, so I am done at three boys. I know I will always feel sad not to have had that mother daughter bond but I need to just get on and deal with it rather than selfishly obsess and miss out on precious time with my lovely boys.
I'm focusing on enjoying my last pregnancy, and I'm hoping to get back into shape quickly afterwards so I can treat myself to some lovely new girly clothes. It means I can clear out the baby stuff once our new little man has finished with it so we have more space, all the boys can have a bedroom each and in 4 years time they will all be pretty independent so we can start planning more exciting family holidays etc.
Hopefully if I can be the best mum possible my boys won't grow up and disappear, and they'll give me at least one or two grand daughters to spoil rotten! :)
I hope you've all had a wonderful Christmas. xxxx
