October Babies! (continued)

Its so hard this GD business. I'm mostly doing okay but then whenever I see families with little girls or a mix, I feel really sad. I love the idea of two little boys and I can't wait to meet my little man. But I just know I will never ever stop wanting a pinkie. I'm 90% sure that if all goes well with this delivery, then we'll go high tech in 2015. We're already saving and although I'm terrified that its a huge amount of money and there are no guarantees, I just know I have to try or I will always feel like I missed out on something amazing. My DH really wants a little girl too so at least we're on the same page. Hope everyone is keeping well. Not long now x

But I can't help but think breaking that would be refreshing and Elliot just is sounding right to me. But obviously I can't go with something my husband doesn't love...oh what to do!

I went into labor with ds2 without deciding on a name beforehand- we had 2 possibles. Once he was born he looked more like one over the other and dh agreed. You could tell dh that you will decide when you see him, what name best suits him, and after watching you go through labor he might just go along with Elliot :wink: or you might find that Madden really does fit him.

My friends little boy is called Isaac, she loved it all through pregnancy but her DH wasn't too keen. They chose another name together but she still really felt like he was an Isaac. Then after he was born and the midwife asked her "does he have a name" she thought "sod it, I just carried him around for 9 months, I pushed him out of my body I'll call him what I want" and replied Isaac! Her DH didn't disagree and now his 4 and he agrees that his totally an Isaac and the other name wasn't right for him LOL

Right so because its getting closer now and its always fun to guess. Do you have an feelings about when your little one is going to turn up, or how big they will be or anything.
There are a few patterns I've been interested to see if this little man follows. I've had all 3 of the others on weekends, and I've had late, early, late, so was thinking it would be interesting to see if he followed the pattern and arrived early and on a weekend. If he did DS2s birthday is the sunday before my due date, so he could share a birthday. DS2 is the most excited and would love the baby to come for his birthday. For that very reason I bet he doesn't LOL

I just have this feeling that from the way his kept us waiting at scans to get measurements and been difficult about getting in the right position so they could see parts of him, that he is trying to make his presence felt and show how different he is already. My pregnancy has been so different too. I feel like I'm going to end up going way over, and will have to have him in the hospital because he will either still be breech or I'll have to be induced, and just to be different from the others he'll be huge as well LOL

Okay, sooo... I went and saw the specialist for my gestational diabetes today. They were quite busy and I ended up being there for FOUR HOURS!!!!! First they took me back for an ultrasound (which was a nice surprise) and I learned Duncan is measuring over 5 1/2 pounds. Big boy! Oh, and he's definitely a boy. They got a VERY clear shot of his boy parts. It's the first time I've seen them clearly this whole pregnancy. I saw the doctor after that. We talked about diet and some other things. I learned that this visit was not a one time thing. I'll be going back for ultrasounds and consultations EVERY WEEK!!! I also have to do an NST every week with my regular OB. So for the rest of the pregnancy I'll do an NST and a check-up with my regular OB on Mondays, and I'll do an ultrasound and check-up with the specialist on Thursdays. Holy cow! And I will for sure be induced early, just don't know when yet.

A good friend was induced this morning and is currently in labor with her daughter. It's funny how you can go months feeling at peace with the gender of your child and then BAM you suddenly feel like you're drowning from gender disappointment all over again.

Aw Katie I know how you feel.
But wow you are going to be so busy with all those appointments!
I see my midwife again next thursday (5th) so will find out what position this little man is in.

I'll have a guess for me!
31st October 9.57pm 9lb 1 oz :bigsmile:
I just cannot wait!! Im literally counting down the days like a kid at christmas lol.

Thinking 15th Oct 9lb 6ozs!!!

October 4 (I really think she wants to be early) and 8 lbs.
