About the DTD thing.....we've done it twice since my BFP....:sigh:
I'm not into it at all and DH is not impressed at all. I had some sort of a sex life with the first two pregnancies but these last 2 have been brutal for DTD. I could go the entire pregnancy...... :oops:
Well, I tried to book a scan for 17w to look for hamburger clues again and the place said that they won't even try until 20 weeks!!! Ugh. I guess I'll have to find a different place now. What a PITA.
So Mocha....are you going to head into that place near you for a scan or are you getting an NT scan done?
IT'S PURPLEFAIRY BTW!! (changed my username to the one I use more)Quote:

Those pic's are great!! I loved the one of the two together.....so cute!! I am really not good at the nub theory....but if what I think was a nub on one pic of twin A I thought girlie! But I am no expert!!:think:Quote:

:running: I'm going to do a little dance over here.....
I was thinking the same thing about girl twins... I also love the pic of the 2 together!
Beautiful pics, Inglewood (gawd - did you have to change your name??? I get confused easily enough when I'm NOT pregnant, and now that I am my brain is mush and I'll keep forgetting you're YOU). Enjoy the pics of the twins together while you can - soon they get too big and all the scans will be of each individually. I'm clueless with nubs, but if everyone else says they're girly I think they must be! :HH:
Oh, and back to the discussion of sex drive - quite honestly, I never want to dtd while pregnant...or while breastfeeding for that matter. One of the main reasons dh was hesitant to try for #4 was he was fearing the sex drought. Since I BF for at least 2 years, it means very little sex for close to 3 years (and often almost none while pregnant and during the first 6 months after birth).
Girly nubs for sure! Interesting that you know they are identical- so one nub must prove the other!
Thanks ladies, so hope ur all right and it's 2 wee girlies, 7wks till I find out, the wait will be sooo hard!!
Hope ur all well?
Mocha, joined twinstuff yest, looks a great site too, sure it will help me find lots out, Thanks! x
I'm glad you joined Twinstuff - it was an excellent resource for me both before and after the birth of my twins.
Inglewood - I imagine you might find out the sex before you're 20 weeks with the extra scans you'll be having!
I must admit (and this probably sounds silly and selfish!) the more ladies I hear getting their girls, the less likely I think it is that I'll get a girl. When I was pregnant with DS3 (and I didn't find out the sex) there were several other mums of 2 boys on the forum I used to hang out on and literally all of them had a girl for their 3rd and I just knew I would be the one to break the trend! It's ok. I've said before that I'm lucky because I know I can be happy with all boys and because I have 3 already I think it's very likely - but I just don't feel very hopeful for my girl!
We had a real scare at bathtime tonight. I was washing the boys' hair and when I was doing DS3 DS2 turned the cold tap off so for a couple of moments DS3 had just hot water on him. It was absolutely awful, I was so scared he was scolded and I'm crap in an emergency. Everybody was crying (DS1 broke his heart worrying about his baby brother bless him). His back was very red but he was fine but I couldn't stop crying at what could have happened. It's so easy for some silly accident to happen at home to our little ones, it's scary. DS2 was really upset too - apparently he'd turned the tap because the water was splashing on him and it was too hot. He won't be touching those taps again for sure!
z- so happy he is ok. We worry about that a lot because 20mth old DS2 likes to play with the taps and where he stands the water hits his "boys" and we had a few scares. Hubby now takes a bath with them and sits in front of the taps to block them, but we have a big jetted tub.
I like to use a pitcher to pour water on them so I don't have to burn them.
Zanacal, what a fright u all must of got!! AWW, times like that u see how special the sibling bond is, caring and worrying for each other! Glad all was well in the end. Scary biscuits for a bit tho!! I'm a nurse, but when it comes to my kids I panic!!!!
I would love to think at my next scan (16wks) they might have a wee clue???? Really wanted a 4d scan and to take the boys, but they practically DOUBLE the scan cost with twins, it's just over £200!! And I aint got that!!! Will u find out this time at 16/20wks?
Thanks both - I'm so careful with the bath and close the door and keep them out while I'm running it and I always make them move away until I'm sure the water is the right temperature then keep a hand in it while I'm washing their hair in case the temperature suddenly changes. It really does just take a moment for something potentially horific to happen - I might switch to using a jug after this too. I had to use DH's 'bum flannel' to get cold water on his back - and we never go near that thing!
Inglewood - another mum I know is expecting twins (twin boys and she already has 3 boys!) and I'm sure they told her their gender at around 16 weeks. I'm still not decided whether we'll find out. I think I'm going to wait to see if we get any indication at the 12 week scan and take it from there. If we get a nub with any girl guesses then I might be tempted to find out for sure but I might see if I can wait otherwise.
Because DS2 is such a clean eater ;) the boys get in the bath right from the table. I will serve them, start the bath, eat what little food I have, and then the boys are ready to go in. The tub is done filling and the temp is just right.
Z, I use a water jug, just what I've always done. Although now the boys are almost 9 and 5 they like showers, which means I get wet!! lol I hope I can find out at my 16wks can, but have a funny feeling they won't, will be 15wks and 5d, so might not??
Well, off to wrap and have fun! DS is 5 tom, my baby! So off to decorate my living room with balloons etc.... so excited for him. Having a softplay pirate party!
Take care all, nite xx
DH does bathtime....and we only put in enough water to cover there little tushies and legs! We let them play a bit and them wash. My boys are even thrown off when I give them a bath! They will look at me and say "Where's dad?"
My boys tell dada to get ready to get in... we fill the water high because the boys like to float. They love swimming in the summer and floating in the tub.
If you're selfish, then so am I because I keep thinking the SAME EXACT THING. Same thing happened to me with ds3 - I was on IG with about 10 women all swaying at the same time, and all but 2 of us got our desired gender. I am truly and honestly elated for those of you ladies getting good news, but I can't help but start to think the luck will run out right around the time I find out the gender of my baby. Silly, I know.Quote:

{hugs} Mocha.
My boys love their bath - but they only get one about once a week (the shame!), so we make it a good one :D
Yeah, we only do about 1-2 baths a week in the winter. Usually we do one cleaning bath, then a few days later a 'play bath' where we don't worry about soap or shampoo. It's just such a production with the 3 kids! In the summer we bathe them more simply because they get so filthy out playing in the dirt in shorts.
Z and M- I'm so sorry you guys feel that way:( I honestly NEVER in a million years thought I could make a girl. My hubby is one of 4 boys, his dad had something like 11 brothers and 2 sisters. My dad is one of 3 boys..... You see the trend:) I really have no clue why this one is different! The diet didn't change much, no gels, no frequent release, gained 3 lbs before conceiving. The only change was instead of O day sex, we dtd 3 days before. It was totally luck. I flipped heads instead of tails. Now, the difference between you guys and me is that you could have been more like 80/20 Girl, instead of 50/50 so you guys have a fantastic chance at your Girlie girl:) I really truly believe that you both have such great odds! I know of 4 families that have 3 boys and then 1 girl. It happens a lot!!
(I actually feel like an a-hole for getting a girl(or what I think is a girl!)when I did nothing. I had an oops and lucked out. I figured out of everyone, it would be me to get a boy, and rightly so. I'm sorry. I feel bad talking about it on here)
DM - don't let me take ANYTHING away from your joy. You have a total right to be thrilled and to announce it from the hilltops...I know I would if I found out I was having a girl. You definitely deserve to have a girl no less than the rest of us. I just wish everyone could get their desired gender.
I am honestly and completely happy for you - really I am. I'm just full of pregnancy hormones and feeling sorry for myself - I think I'm the a-hole here for making you feel bad. :HH:
(and I like to hope that maybe there was some pink dust in those tests you sent me, and since swish has those tests now maybe she got some of the pink dust too - she definitely deserves to have something go right for once)
Oh that would be awesome!!! I'll keep thinking PINK thoughts for you, M:) and Z, and Inglewood, and ...you get the picture!
How is Swish doing??? It's been so long since we've seen her on here:( I hope that she is ok:)
And no you are not an a-hole!!! LOL!! You worked your A$$ off on your sway, as did Z and you deserve more than anything to get your girls!!!
LOL, I know you weren't trying to be funny but I just so totally identify with this that it made me laugh. I am SUPER happy for you DM, and Inglewood with what looks promising for twin girls ... it's a weird thing to be able to be so happy for others yet feel so sorry for oneself. I've felt like a total a-hole the last month :bigsmile:Quote:

You present yourself as someone who is very in tune with her spirituality and that dream was clearly HER. It's so beautiful to me. I couldn't be anything but totally happy for you, sway or no sway, this girl was headed into your arms.
And FWIW my biggest ooops ever was DD1 and I can't get over how awesome she is. "Accidental" babies are so special IMO. I said it somewhere else on here but part of me wishes this one had been an accident b/c I'd probably have had more peace about it, even though I wouldn't have gotten a shot at swaying, if that makes any sense. For a control freak it's kinda nice when something is totally out of your hands :)
Hugs, Mocha and Zan, about feeling like the luck will run out. I'm so the opposite! When I saw Jen get her DS I was like, YES! Me too me too, LOL! It will be what it will be, KWIM? FX you all hear pink!
I'm glad its not just me lol!Quote:

And this recent boys pics BOY
I can't believe that link wrapping thing worked for me!! I feel like a tech:rofl:
If you read the boy link through it has extra pics from when I went for an extra scan a week later:agree:
Both my boys were big oops... Only knew hubby for 6mths when we got pregnant with DS1 - our pill, a day away from AF, and swimming pool baby. We love him so much and I did want him to be a boy. We talked about a second baby but when we started to plan for "her" I was already pregnant and he was my oops the iud fellout. I really can't imagine life without them and no girl could replace my little men. If we had planned more then a few kids I would love to have 4b and 1g.Quote:

Gosh, I feel awful again today. I feel permanently hung over and nauseous and hungry - I stuffed my face literally all day then went to the supermarket and nearly passed out I was so weak with hunger near the end! What's with suddenly feeling really crap at almost 10 weeks?! Oh, and probably TMI but funny all the same - DH jumped me in the night and got his wicked way and was a bit miffed that I got up and disappeared so quickly - I was downstairs making and eating a jam sandwich! I got up to clean up and my tummy was rumbling so I didn't even go back in for a cuddle :D
ELP - If I had 8 children I think I'd just line them up in the garden and hose them down every now and again :D
Morning Ladies (at least here :happy:) DH and I are getting ready to leave for your 12 week NT scan! I am a little scared....I hope to see a heartbeat and hear it too today!! Our NT scan with Evan was all good last time it wasn't until later at 23 weeks we found out he was sick. But I know anything can happen at anytime in pg.....so I am just very scared right now....I think I will be freaking out every appt. we have until this baby is here!!
Thats our summer option:agree::bigsmile:Quote:

Your pics, I could have copied off of my girl scans, I have some of them on dvd which i will add to the youtube for you, probably tomorrow now as I'm stealing minutes on here!!! But compare your and mine potty shots, complete opposites:kiss:Quote:
