Flava, good to see you here!
Cheekmoo, will you try & find out at 16wk scan?
B, how you doing today?
ELP- how far are you at this point?
Flava - welcome :) I would also love to know how far along you are??
Babydes- I will def ask at my scan and ask if he can get a potty shot...BUT my friend said he told her boy at 15 weeks and she had a girl! LOL he is def no expert and his machine low grade so not sure of picture quality IF he gets me one..... sooo 3rd of October for you hey...not that far away! Is it specifically for gender ?
Hey girls thanks for welcomes.
ELP- I already made a ticker and you don't have one? Well I just hope it's a sticky baby....so go pick one!
Anyone wanted to eat chocolate this early? Normally I don't really want it but now I feel like I like to have some. even before bfp..
No chocolate craving here that early Flava:) Could be a Sign of a hungry boy;)
I have a ticker!! But it only ShoWS on neW poStS???!!!
Hungry boy huh? more like hungry big momma:rofl:
I see your ticker it's so cute!
Just send DH to buy a treadmill for me ! There is no way I want to get any more fat then this!:nono: I know I will be bigger but I read a lot how to eat very healthy in pregnancy(what we suppose to do anyway) so hopefully I don't put on much at all.
And for the first time I will workout pregnant. LOL Just walking on the treadmill and maybe some preg. dvd. I really hope walking helps it did when we had a dog.
Anyone else working out?
Uhhh working out and the dreaded weight subject!!!!!!
I have been excersising - it's called the hand to mouth program LOL
but seriously...I have kept up weights once a week and some walking but it has been FAR overshadowed by the JUNK and quantitiy of food I have been eating - I really have had a complete lack of control regarding food- I am actually starting to get a bit back now I don't feel awful anymore but with the sway weight PLUS this last three months the best I can hope for the rest of the pregnancy is to limit further damaged with moderating my food a little more and keeping up some excersise........I weighed 14 weeks what i weighed at like 25 weeks last pregnancy :( ah well another reason for hoping the sway worked!!- as Jen said she isn't fatter for no reason!
Flava- I totally think you should post your sway, no vultures like on IG. I've really only bought the going home from the hospital outfit but I still need some booties and a hat. Too cold in Feb In Utah for him to not have booties and a hat :) Oh yeah for me it was peanut butter cups lol And it could be a hungry boy, I was starving from 10dpo! No formal exercise for me, I've been so, so tired still.
Baby- I was positive I'd hear girl, the closer the u/s got I'd lost all hope and was ready for my life full of daughters. Jokes on me huh lol
After 9 years of thinking about having a son I honestly still feel like we're pretending. I keep looking at the u/s pics for any grey area but pic after pic it's so obvious. I don't think I'll truly believe till I see the goods for my self.
I am carrying a bit lower this time but I honestly wonder if it's due to weak abs. I was a crazy exercise girl with my others so I had great abs, this time abs were weak so the baby could just pop right out.
ELP- Yeah a ticker!! Will you be finding out and when? My eating is finally getting better too which is funny cause now I'm putting on weight. Eating candy bars and I lost, eating veg and I'm gaining lol
OOH cheeky me too, walking to the kitchen is my major form of exercise lol I've decided that every sway lb was absolutely necessary, I refuse to think 5 would have done it lol
I posted over on the other thread but I'll post it here too, we're zeroing in on his name. DH favors the first one but we probably won't decide till we see that sweet little face.
Charles Robert, after my uncle who married us and my dad, we'll call him Charlie.
Owen Robert, I love the first name and again the middle name is after my dad.
hey girls Im bleeding so I think it's over for me again...this would be lost #8 so sick of it...don't know what to do...DH said no more ttc but IF he say yes I suppose to go to store buy and order sups ect. and Im just sitting here .
Jen_ I Like Owen! Like Charles too but it's so common I think.
Flava, i'm sorry this has happened to you again! Have they investigated why you've had so many m/c's? How are you feeling today?
3P1B, just realised your name has changed, lovely! I'm sure you right about the muscles & carrying lower, i'm carrying much bigger too this time. Tomorrow's the big day!! I'm feeling relaxed about it for some reason & i dont know if it's because a friend of mine just had a baby girl & she's just too cute. Well we'll see how i feel tomorrow once i get in for scan, i'll probably freak out..wish me luck
Baby- thanks, I love my new name :) I too am carrying bigger. I'm even measuring big but luckily he's right on track with my o date. I was numb coming up to my u/s, positive I'd hear girl. So excited for you tomorrow!
I think i come back next time girls. Hopefully pregnant with a healthy boy who will stay with me.
Big hugs Flava.
oh hugs Flava- so sorry for your loss, hope your back soon.
Babydes- ??? Today is THE big scan?? So exciting- will check back later :)
Sorry Flava! Give yourself sometime in between cycles...
Yea, I have a scan coming up (12 week), will feel better after that.
You'll be back quick as that Flava, I'm sure of it;):hugs:
Best of luck today babyD!!!
It's a girl!! I just knew it but still had hope. I was surprised at how fine i was when the tech said she thinks it's a girl because i didnt expect i'd be that ok with it. I think as the days go by the reality of not having a son is going to kick in & upset me but today i feel fine. DH looked disappointed but says he's fine & that the main thing is the baby's healthy
Congrats on your baby girl!!
Congrats on your healthy little bundle :) so glad that everything looks good with her ! I am sure you will fall in love when you meet her.
Just remember to let yourself of the hook for however you may feel for the next few days xo
Congrats Babydes- glad you are feeling peace about it....
Babydes - Congratulations on your sweet baby girl! I'm glad that everything looks good with her. :)
Flava - I'm so sorry for your loss. I hope it wont be long before we see you again!
Congratulations on a precious baby girl to join your family babyDxxx Just wait til you meet her, she will be the most precious thing you've ever seen, I promise xxxxx
Thanks ladies, i'm still in shock at how well i feel about it, good thing isnt it? Like i said i dont know how i'll feel later & like Begonia said it's what people are going to say about 3 girls that's going to upset me more. I'll also feel sad knowing i wont ever have a son but hey what we want doesnt necessarily mean that's what's intended for us in this life. I've been telling myself that having this girl is a true blessing & even the stupid comments people will make wont matter soon. It took me over a yr to fall preg so i am happy to have this girl & i know we will all love her to bits
Babydes, I will say ... I felt the exact same ... "I just knew it but still had hope." For some reason I just *knew* it was another girl for us too. I will say I think you're spot on, as the days go by you'll likely have some days that are a little harder than others. It takes time to shift the mental picture I think. For the past 3 years, since I knew DD2 was a girl, I had been envisioning our family with a blue caboose. Heck I saw myself with 3 boys before we had any kids, so with every girl I've had to let go of part of my dream. So that has made it very hard to let this one go, because I just SAW it so vividly, and now ... I keep trying to change the dream to fit the reality. Occasionally that makes me smile, picturing my 3 daughters, but more often I do get sad thinking we'll never have a son. I know it will be easier once she arrives and I can kiss her sweet face. But I also know I'm probably never going to stop wishing I had a son. Just have to learn to live with it; life isn't always what we want it to be but it's still good :)
Have to run now, but wanted to say congratulations, and I understand how you feel! HUGS! I hope you keep coming around. I pop in now and again and I'm sure eventually will be able to come back. Today I just had to check on you!
I keep reminding myself how many of those boy moms I envy (oh there is one with 3 of the CUTEST, stabs me every time I see them) would love to have a daughter. My grandmother told me if we all threw our problems in a pile and saw what everyone else was dealing with, we'd grab ours back in a second.
And I love what you said that what we want doesn't necessarily mean what is intended for us in life. It's true. Hard to accept, but if we can just want what we have we'll all be happier. Easier said than done for sure but I know I'm working on it.
Hope you went out and bought something special for your newest little lady :) Congrats again on a healthy little one!
I've said it before and I'll say it again I LOVE having 3 daughters, screw people and their shitty comments :) We wanted 4 so we swayed, we didn't go for 4 in pursuit of a boy. We were fully prepared for and looking forward to a life with 4 girls. It sucks a bit in theory but it's fab once you line up all those lovely little people.
B, i'm the same as you in that i saw myself with at least a son but now that dream is all gone & it's upsetting. Last night DH was snoring so i woke up & laid in bed thinking wow i'm having another girl & could we have done things differently. I blamed him for smoking & for being a vegetarian but then i stopped myself & said i cant change what's done & therefore there's no point in dwelling over it. I soooo wanted to prove those who said "oh it's another girl" wrong especially someone who keeps mentioning how awful teenage girls are compared to boys aaargh!
Nevermind, just keep telling yourself that all this wont matter once we see our darling daughters
