I agree NC and Rosie. There is strength in numbers!!! We will all be ok.
And someone just guessed girl on my 12 weeks pics...lmao!!
I wish you were feeling better too Three, I am sure that doesn't help the overall mood.
NC, you are so right! We should never ever have to lift anything heavy again! Our yards should always be well kept too! I also can't wait until all of my kids are older, everything will be more enjoyable and we won't have to deal with whiny babies making us crabby! haha.
haha, it's okay! If I posted the profile pic of my baby..people would probably guess alien!Quote:

I still have that strong desire for a DD, but it isn't in my control right now or ever so I figure I should stop being sad and angry and just love this little boy for who he is. What is meant to be will be.
3m, I love his name, and I hope you start feeling better soon too. You have been sick for way too long.
Well said NC. Gender still matters to me but not for this little boy. I love him for who he is too. I just hope my future still holds my girl but it has nothing to do with Teddy anymore, he plays no role in my sadness.
Three!! hahahaha your siggy is awesome!
I need to find humor in the sea of scrotom's I've been swimming in for several years!!!
bahahaha! :rofl:Quote:

I always say I am surrounded by penises. Even our freaking cats have penises. I'm really hoping this baby is missing one!!!
Sorry you didn't hear girl, Threemen. :hugs: Congrats on your little boy and what a great name he has! Love it! :)
I'm right with you ladies on the penis issue! That's why I insisted on a girl puppy, if I hear penis tomorrow at my scan at least I'll have one person, kind of, around here without one!
3M, I love the name Ian!
:rofl: good one!Quote:

I must be crazy. So hard to be American in a different country, trying to watch election results!
It's only 930 here, but we just turned the tv off. I am getting too stressed out. Lol. Seriously, my blood pressure and heart rate are both up.Quote:

Hey ladies, anyone know if we are able to take a daily antacid like Zantac or something other than Tums or Maalox and do they work for pregnancy related heartburn? With my boys I didn't have heartburn until I was over 7 months and this time I have had it for weeks now and it's only getting worse. Any help is appreciated, thanks!
:hugs: threemen, sorry you didnt hear girl - love the name name! Im sure he will be a very handsome little man :)
I was told I could take nexium with my last pregnancy, but just to be safe I'd say make sure to ok it with your dr! Hope it gets better! I'm still dealing with ms if I don't take my zofran/unisom/b6, and its no fun :/Quote:

About 4 hrs until my scan. I almost don't want to go. At my 13 week ultrasound the tech said probably boy. That was only 3 weeks ago and I'm not very hopeful that things changed very much in only 3 weeks. I expect I'll be joining 3m's sea of scrotums here shortly. I'm pretty OK with it, just not sure I'm ready to know for sure kwim?
I'm sad today. I hope you hear girl Winngrin. I don't want any more ladies in this thread to feel like I do right now.
big hugs hun :hugs:Quote:

Sorry you're feeling down ThreeMen, I think we've all been there , our moods swinging up and down.
If it's any comfort, it took me two weeks to be OK with this baby being a boy. I had my moment of revelation so to speak last weekend. We were at my cousin's wedding. My whole family was there, and I got really excited when I saw her walking down the aisle. I haven't been so excited at a wedding in quite a while. And then I saw my grandfather's brother in the crowd (my grandfather passed away many years ago) and for some reason that made me even more emotional, I almost started weeping... Lucky my boys were keeping me busy. Anyway, at that moment I felt how lucky I am to have this amazing family, and how important it is to have a supportive and loving family like I do, and this calm sensation swept over me. It may sound strange, but I think I got over my GD right there and then.
I'm glad to see you other boy moms are doing better too!!!
Good Luck and FX x
She was very sure. All I got was potty shots. The baby was upside down the whole time, and the cord was between his legs. She had to shake my belly for a little bit. It still seems so unreal. And as I'm writing this Stevie Wonder's "Isn't she lovely" just started playing on the radio. OMG!!!Quote:

Well crap. Now I really don't want to go
Why? I think you're fine. And my shots are very accurate.Quote:

hi girls, I just got back from my scan and feel so deflated. We said we didn't want to know the gender but of course as I have been obsessing over potty shots etc I am very sure I saw boy parts. Not only that but the scanner guy then called the baby and 'he' and told me my placenta was on my right which according to Ramzi is also boy side.. NOT what I wanted to hear. We had the gender written down on paper and now feel we may as well just open it so I can stat getting used to the idea; wish I had walked out of there still in 'ignorance is bliss' stage... No idea what to do now and feel like an idiot for being so obsessed with this when I should be thrilled that the baby is perfect and healthy :(
3men, thank you for posting all your feelings....my DD is 9 weeks old and the last two weeks I've been consumed with thoughts of giving her a sister while I'm holding her...I need to chill the hell out and just ENJOY her! I've berated myself enough in the past for not enjoying DS1 and 2's babyhoods by being consumed with when my next's chance to make a DD. Now, I have a DD, and the obsession continues. I really, really thoguht having one would end it--but I guess I am just getting too greedy. I remind myself all the time how lucky I am to have healthy, happy and cute kids. I need to stop and smell the roses more, and stop obsessing about the 4th piece of the puzzle. I guess I just want my family "complete" and I always secretly imagined having 4 (I'm the last of 4), but I really want to enjoy the precious gift I've been given.
I just feel silly for even wanting a 4th; I know my lifestyle in general is very "boy-heavy" and I guarantee that my coin is weighted, and I'd make another boy again much easier than another girl. Anyway, I feel for you hun, and I know you will love Ian Patrick so much when he's born, it's so tough when you're still pregnant and can't hold them yet. I had the hardest time during my pregnancy with DS2, and the craziest thing is when I look back at those moments and thoughts I had when I was pregnant with him sometimes I still feel blue that he wasn't a girl...how stupid...since I did get a DD eventually.
I feel for all you ladies so much! You are all so brave and loving...but I must admit, I am astounded by how many boys have been made by this group! It is mind-boggling!
Winnigrin, good luck hun! Know that whatever you hear we will be here to support you.
