Here (and keep in mind that I am in south Texas) I have known several little girls with the name, but they have all been from devout Catholic families and have gone by Meg or Maggie. One was Dala. So that is why the association is so strongly tied to religion with me.Quote:

lol We have a 9 seater but we definitely will NOT be looking to fill them all haha!! ;D
I love Margaret. It was actually on my list for my first dd, who ended up being Charlotte.Quote:

Hi ladies, may I join in?
I'm due 4/19/13 with a surprise miracle baby. I'm team green but DH doesn't want to join me. I have a weak cervix that's been stitched closed since 12.3 weeks but now that I'm actually in the second tri, I'm really worried for the baby. Trying to be as positive as I can...
Tiifani - you, me coocoo, mrshonyez, and grace can all meet back and TTC again together. What is your timing....and I'm not kidding around! I asked AS when the best time to get a girl is and she did say right after having a baby so I am thinking of vitex and spermicide being my form of contraception after this little Brady or Eli is born!
AM I INSANE FOR THINKING THIS? I mean....what if I were to get pregnant when the baby is only 3 months old or something??????????????????????????????????
Welcome tt xx
Welcome to the group TT, congrats on the baby! Sorry to hear about the complications, hopefully all will stay well and there will be nothing to worry about. We are here for support though!!
Omg I've been wondering the exact same thing plus was thinking I bet the best time to ttc for a girl is after you have a baby. Was going to ask her to do me a plan now start vitex as soon as the baby is here then see how I feel for a few months???? What were you thinking of doing nc? xxQuote:

This is my tentative plan...breastfeed, vitex, spermcide, refresh, and LE diet (coffee in the AM, light lunch, light dinner with a little meat...but not much...I want to lose weight especially after having a baby and going into the summer), drop temping, OPKs, and frequency. See what happens for a while!Quote:

Sounds good hun nice and relaxed!!!!!Quote:

The only thing is I have to eat so much to keep feeding only managed 8 weeks till it completely dried up with ds3. So slightly worried about that! xx
You ladies are brave. I think I will quit if this one isn't a girl. I really will have to get used to three boys, I don't know if I could handle 4 of them at any point. Sometimes I want to cry with just my two! haha
Exactly!!! TTC, but not really TTC hardcore. I dried up by 6 months..but I wasn't eating or drinking much. Drinking water always helps some! But at least with breastfeeding, you are naturally giving out what you eat so you can have more flexibility with calories and fat! I am so glad I'm not the only one thinking like this. LOL!!!!Quote:

Lol we need to start a thread for ttc when pg lmao! I don't know how I'll feel once he's here but I think maybe planning it all out will help me focus on something other an being upset about what gender he is and give me a better change of my girl!! Im not sure if dh will really agree to having a baby that quick but if we're not actually trying can't do any harm!!!!!!Quote:

NC if it makes you feel better my friend has a girl and a boy. Her girl is the crazy one. She chucks lamps across the room and has a temper like no other. She is constantly being punished it seems.
Just thinking about having another boy makes me want to cry and throw up hahahaha. It is probably because I am pregnant and in pain but the thought of another trouble maker makes my stomach roll. I am sure it wouldn't be like that but the unknown is scary!!!
That is my all time FAVORITE show!!!! I love it!Quote:

My sister claimed that with her DD3...I knew it was BS but everyone else believed her!!Quote:

The rest of you are definitely crazy lol!! ;) We started ttc when ds1 was just 7 months old and fell pregnant the second month of ttc and looking back now at photos I realise why people thought I was so crazy haha!! ;)
Worked out well now though as they are such good friends, I couldn't do it again though it was so hard being pregnant with a baby to look after.
I'd also be too scared of having another boy, but then again if you want to go for one more then why not?! At least you get the baby stages over and done with at pretty much the same time. Better than waiting a year or so and then having another when you've had 3+ kids as I imagine it must feel like you've never got out of the baby stage.
I know it isn't going to happen but I would just love it if you all popped out a baby girl and proved the u/s techs wrong! =) xxx
Maybe we can start it where the Lazy Swayers post is....call it the Preggo Planners - Secret Swaying After Birth!Quote:

A cool, dark, windy day and Noel. ;) The only thing that would make it better is a pumpkin spice latte and a slice of pumpkin bread. Lol.Quote:

However, in the UK you have up to a year maternity leave, and I was on maternity leave for 10 months... so I was feeding on demand for that long, and then I was feeding on demand at home but then also still pumping at work (I was still bringing pumped milk for him to his childminder to drink well beyond a year... until he was 20 months probably... because I figured why give him cow milk when I still make human milk? Heh.)Quote:

Although, even now, I am still breastfeeding! So that is I suppose one part of my sway... hope it's helpful?
The same will probably happen with me again next time (my period taking like two years to start again)... maybe!
3M&AL - I hope you are out preparing for the storm up there. It doesn't look good for you!!
Sounds perfect to me. That's so not fair that your sister got 3 girls what are the odds of that!!!Quote:

That is so annoying!!!! I can already hear the comments...."your sister has 3 DDs and you have 3DSs how funny is that?" I really thought I would never be in this situation....she really wants a DS so feel bad (in a way) for her too.Quote:

It keeps changing. But I'll be out the door in the morning to do more food shopping.Quote:

My crazy MIL called me this AM and had me in tears saying that it was coming our way and to cancel the boys' b-day party tomorrow. This party is EXPENSIVE and with my emotions running wild, set me off in tears! But, it doesn't look too bad for us down here...just windy and rainy from now until Wed!Quote:

I hate to tell you girl but I was breastfeeding when i conceived ds2. My kids always nurse for a long time, they are 23 months apart. I'm nursing still now too who knows if it swayed but I don't count on it.
My BFF also had her Ds while nursing her dd still.
