I have my anatomy scan this day 2 weeks and was not planning to find out but I think I will have to...I am driving myself crazy here. I also had another dream last night that I saw boy bits at the US. I read that in 70% of cases a woman's instinct regarding the gender of their unborn child is correct. Sometimes I am convinced this is a boy and other times I allow myself to maybe believe it might be a girl. Did you all have dreams you were getting your girls??
My first two boys pregnancy were the exact same. This one from the BFP has been different. From no MS in the first two to MS and heartburn from the 5th week and still getting stomach issues and heartburn. Feels worse after eating. Less weight gain and smaller tummy this time, more spots, lank hair, craving fish, had bleeding in week 7 etc etc. I just would love to think I am not going to be one of those that has the same gender and a totally different pregnancy!!!
Well, I'm a little disappointed! I didn't get the day I wanted :( but Hudson Aubrey Van Dorp will have his birthday on May 22nd! She wasn't available the 21st! Still really excited though, 103 days! I'm definitely counting down :)
Mum23boys pointed out that Mrs. P was supposed to have an ultrasound on Tuesday, and she hasn't been on here since then. I'm worried something is wrong. If you're out there, Mrs. P, check in please!Quote:

Here's hoping it's just a hiccup with her computer, then. Maybe she'll check in soon.
Mine is different in all those ways too. Smaller tummy, less gain, hardly showing at all and I'm 13 weeks.. I will let you know in a few weeks! ;) fingers crossed for us both. But for the record I am thoroughly convinced without a sliver of doubt that this is a girl. I knew my pregnancy would be different in these ways from the day I got my bfp - because I "knew" she would be a she. Lets hope intuition wins this round! ;) xxQuote:

Hoping, good luck that will come around quickly. I have booked my 19 week scan for 13 march and will find out then. Let's hope we all hear pink for those with scans coming up.
We are away at the moment so only on my phone will try and log in later to write more...
I'm having a girl hun. Was shown girl bits at 15 week ultrasound. Will be good to confirm at 20 weeks.Quote:

Not much news from ultra sound but got to have a repeat on friday as babe was in a bad position. No confirmation for gender yet. Also some concerns over the size of the baby as its measuring small but no ideas what that means (or if its just a small baby? no idea if that happens yet but my sons were only 7lbs something each) so got to wait but hopefully if there was anything seriously wrong we'd have been told.
Lovely to log on to lots of good news though - huge congrats maple (twin girls how exciting) and to you babytcakes bet your so excited, will update the other thread after i've done my online grocery shopping (but just had to check in first and see how everyone was - priorities i know, probably should have ordered the kids food first but hey ho)xx
Huge congratulations to everyone who has found out they are getting their DG. It really seems like we are on a great streak and I am super jealous of all you ladies getting to go shopping for pink. I have my anatomy scan on the 18th. I have always been team green and I really want to do the same this time but I keep going back and forth thinking maybe I should just find out but I know that I will be so devastated if I hear boy and will struggle the rest of the pregnancy. I am thinking about having the tech write it down and put it in an envelope and giving it to a trusted friend until a couple of weeks prior to my due date so I can grieve ahead of time if it is a boy but not be so sad until then. I don't know what do you all think?
Has anyone else noticed that the due date group before us has started having their babies!!!
Yes how exciting! Not much longer for us :)Quote:

No idea what I'm going to do and mine is literally days away :nails:
Good luck on Friday! Hope it all works out ok for you. Hopefully just a small, cute girlie baby.Quote:

Have you had your tests yet? Hope your cycle is going well? XX

I have had a good relationship with her until recently. Her daughter has 3 kids and parents them very freely, they hardly have rules/never listen etc. Where as I, have rules/boundaries and want Ryder to listen, he has a schedule and routine (I'm very organized and structured lol), and she keeps commenting as if I'm the worst parent EVER because Ryder can't run around doing as he pleases 24/7. She also is very upset that a) I found out the sex of both babies b) chose to have a second c-section and c) that DH and I have mutually agreed we do NOT want a third child, although to her.. it's *of course* all my fault. Anyway, she makes comments, like she's joking but really I know she's not and I'm SOSOSOSO tired of it.
I think that we are doing a great job raising our child/children and I am 110% content with any decisions I have made with this and my previous pregnancy.
UGH why does she have to be like that? She is starting to live up to the "monster in law" nickname already!
I brought it up to DH and he just said "Oh she could just be grumpy" but it's turning into something that happens EVERY TIME I am around her, it especially bothers me when her comments are TO OTHER PEOPLE while I'm RIGHT THERE.
Sorry to be a downer :( this has been boiling inside me for sometime now, I had to let it out. Anyone else have a MIL similar?
Hi there. I would like to be added please.
I am due August 31st with our 3rd child. Hoping for a baby girl this time as ive got two boys (DS2 was a failed IG sway). Love them to pieces but as this is our last child im praying for a baby girl.
Ah CVD, how annoying. You must dread seeing her!Quote:

Fortunately my MIL is not much of a problem! A little crazy but always means well!
Hope she snaps out of it and makes life more pleasant for you. XX
I wish we could decide! DH hates my choices, yet does not contribute any suggestions.Quote:

Sorry to hear that. I'm not surprised you are upset. Your MIL sounds a lot like mine. I usually try and ignore her but its difficult not to react when you are pregnant. I try and see mine as little as I possibly can!Quote:

best of luck on friday mrs p I am sure everything will be just fine and you will get your pink confirmation!
cvd try to ignore her. I know i am super sensitive when I am pregnant and take everything to heart. She does sound quite irritating though so maybe just avoid her as must as possible....it's probably easier said than done!
Thanks ladies. I try to ignore her comments and when we are with her I try to avoid conversation of the kids LOL I think it's going be a loooong journey ahead of us :hair:
cvd- sounds like she's a sarcastic lil thing so be right back at her:)
i think of it from a moms point of view though if my dd or my sons get with a women that does not want to bf or feed kids junk or have very medicalized births i probably would try to convince them otherwise lol but then i would have to have my peace with it afterall it is their life. I have no idea about my mil she is the exact opposite and doesn't comment on anything but also makes it kind of hard for conversation cuz she acts like she doesn't care. maybe try talking about other thingas besdies kids and if she trys to steer convo that way steer it back to something else. hopefully once babe is born she'll focus on all the lovey things:)
maple- names are sooo hard but you still have time don't stress:)
so we shared the news w/ kids last night. got a cake that said "baby #5". kids were excited asking when is it coming,feeling my belly,ect. mw appt. here at the home this fri. and dh has a trip so had to tell them :)
I know what you mean Atsaukina and I agree but the crazy thing is, she is PRO things that usually moms aren't for the most part. For example, we went there for dinner Friday and my nephews were eating CANDY 10 mins before dinner was being served, when they offered it to DS1, I obviously told them no and my MIL says "OH geez it's not a big deal who cares, but obviously Ryder's mom doesn't let him eat candy" in the most sarcastic tone. Um at 19 months old NO he doesn't eat candy, and 10 mins before dinner??? DOUBLE NO. When I was nursing Ryder, she kept pressuring me to feed formula (he had some every now and then and took it fine) - I thought she was insane. He nursed FABULOUSLY, I even had a huge pumped supply and he took bottles with no problem - WHY in the world would I want to give him more formula? But she was never super rude about it now she is starting to be. She really thinks her "way" is the best way and I don't agree!Quote:

CVD - I'm sorry your mil is giving you a hard time. I have had similar issues with my MIL. She doesn't understand why I would breastfeed beyond 6 months, and she thinks I don't let my kids eat enough junk (and believe me, they eat plenty of junk. I just don't practically force it down their throats like she does!) I think part of her issue is that she subconsciously thinks I am passing judgement on her parenting by choosing to do things they way I do. She was 17 when she had dh, she smoked, drank, and did drugs. She did not breastfeed, and even stopped giving him formula and starting giving him cow's milk when he was an infant. So she can't wrap her head around me wanting to breastfeed and do child-lead-weaning. I know dh gets very sensitive when talking about all the things you shouldn't do while pregnant, because to him it's like saying he is in some way defective because she definitely did bad things when pregnant! So this is just my amateur psychoanalysis, but maybe your mil feels like by you being such a good parent, it makes her perhaps lackluster parenting look even worse.
CVD- my mil is the similar in a lot of ways. My DH family feels entitled to have a say in how what when and where we do things. Because I have 2 DS from my previous marriage they feel extra entitled to how I do things with DS3. It drove major wedge between my DH and I. When I was pregnant with DS3 my mil was running her mouth when she had not right and because I knew my DH wouldn't do anything about it, because he hasn't in the past, I finally snapped! I put her in her place and told her that if she didn't like how we were doing things she didn't have to come around but there was no way in hell I was going to let her dictate how I was going to raise my kids and especially since I saw how "well" "raised" hers (always choose a man over her kids) she's since chosen to keep her distance and I'm perfectly fine with that. It's sad but my family is too important to let ANYONE come in the middle. It sounds like you're doing great with your son and my boys are 13, 9 and 22 mths and No they don't have candy or soda. The older ones get candy or sprite once in a blue moon. You do what you gotta do. These are YOUR children and you have to live with how they're raised. GL
