I can’t get rid of my boys’ clothes either. I have huge tubs of baby clothes that I don’t think I’ll ever be able to part with, I totally get it.

Greydore I hope this is your girl - esp since it seems to be the season for girls!! If not, at least you have all those clothes and things. I was thinking the same thing - I have so much girl stuff in storage that it will be easier on me this time around. It's time for me to redo my 10-year old's room and get rid of some of her "babyish stuff" so now those things can go to the new baby. And the doll houses and American Girl doll stuff!! I spent so much money on that stuff (doll clothes, furniture, etc) - good to know I can hand it all down.
I've been catching up and see so many beautiful names some of you have chosen for your babies!! We still don't have a name. I told the girls that if they have a sister they can choose her name but I really thought I was having a boy. I just hope they choose something nice lol. I think they are leaning toward London, Jordyn, Zoe, or Ava. They both have "J" names so I think they want to move away from that so Jordyn is probably out. We will see...
All are cute names Mlka!! Let them narrow it down, then you can choose!

I agree Mommy! I told them we will have to definitely agree with the name.
Also, did you tell the other kids you are having a girl yet? If so how did they react - especially your little girl? I bet she was so excited!
We took them with us! They are all over the moon excited! My daughter said it’s about time! Lol she’s very happy. She had told people of the baby wasn’t a girl she was going to tell people I wasn’t pregnant just gaining weight. [emoji23]

Grace, those are beautiful names!
LOL - she's hilarious!!! My mom kept having boys after me so I know how she felt. The 4th time I was so disappointed when she came home with yet another boy. I remained the only girl but thankfully my father had 2 daughters in a previous marriage and we are pretty close. I'm happy for your daughter :-)
Oh and I got the fetal heart monitor this weekend and it gave me so much peace of mind!! Her heartbeat was strong and I was able to follow where she moved around in my belly. I had to put it up so I won't be obsessive about it lol!
TwinMom2, I totally think the horrible shortness of breath you and I have this time is from carrying two that need us to supply their oxygen. It's been nuts! Lol. Mine are in two sacs and have two placentas. Best of luck with your 4D scan Wednesday! I can't wait to read the update for you your scan goes
Mommy2apples, I love hand me downs!!! Especially ones with tags still! LOL
Babybeaublue, I'll bet it'll be so nostalgic to pull out those boxes of clothes and go through them and remember your daughters wearing them!
Lol she’s something else Mlka! For sure, I can imagine how your mom felt too. I know she’s thankful for you, but I also know she longed to give you a sister too. You have your baby girls to keep you company forever!
Yay! It is so much comfort! I haven’t used mine in a couple days! Just feel more relieved since the scan, but will probably use it tomorrow. It’s so cute hearing them kick isn’t it? It’s amazing hearing them! Can’t wait until we can feel them move really well.
Ellirosanne! Me too! They are so cute clothes! I just don’t know where I’m going to store the bigger sizes for now. Will have to buy tote boxes.

Ellirosanne you're supermom !! I have a friend who is currently pregnant with her 10th child. From her, I've learned how awful people can be with their comments.Quote:

Dreaming that’s so cute. Our kids are very close in age- my oldest was 4 in October and youngest will be 2 on February 1. Are you waiting til birth to find out? Or holding off for a gender reveal?
Mlka I’m ok with another boy! I actually was thinking today how sweet it would be to have 3 little boys. We will be happy either way :)

Aww a purple one! I love that age :-) Funny how they were thinking of a baby - they say kids have a six sense about these things. When do you plan to tell them and how? I don't know how you held out on opening that Harmony report!! I'm not that strong at all. I think my husband and I really needed time to get used to the idea of a 3rd daughter so we needed to know early but it's awesome that you can wait.Quote:

I had put on more muscle weight then but this time around I lost muscle. Plus my husband had just returned from a 2 week trip out of the country the night I ovulated and I thought nothing of it. But we still got a wonderful surprise!! You just never know - after all this time trying that was the one time I didn't plan or expect it.
And Zoe is on the top of my list! My oldest called her London as she listened to her heartbeat last night so I guess she was hinting at that one.
That's great! I'm with you Greydore - I'm beginning to love that I'll have the same gender. Plus the girls seem to bring out the best in my husband! He's such a serious guy but he's so good with the girls. I think he would be strict and tough with a boy. Maybe this kid will be more artsy or bookish - the other two are both athletes and competitive by nature. I can't wait to see her personality!Quote:

Mlka that’s so sweet to hear how your husband is with your girls. My dad was so soft with us- my mom always had to be the disciplinarian because he couldn’t do it. I totally agree with you on getting used to the idea of what you’re having- that’s why I like finding out.

I don't think we will grace. We didn't find out the gender of our 2 girls so we are thinking of waiting till baby arrives. I'm worried the pregnancy wont feel as special if I know?(am I totally mental?!)Quote:

Aww greydore that's so so cute that your children are same age! It's great that they're so close in age! We didn't find out on the girls so I wonder if we should wait till baby arrives.Quote:

Mlka hmmm....that sounds very like my diet when I conceived! I'm a coffee-aholic and don't eat much meat. I'm mainly a runner but used to do kettlebells classes. I was only 6 weeks post mmc (apparently conceiving afterwards sways girl ) when I conceived so my diet involved a lot of takeaways and junk food (possibly helped sway?) I did try to do a few kettlebells classes post mmc and before conceiving but did a lot of running. It's out of my hands now and honestly, 3 healthy girls sounds great to Me! Dh is already confident it's a girl and he's delighted. Already suggesting names (none of which I really like!) I'm so undecided about finding out. Until I decide I think I should stay team green or yellow (I've seen a fewnpost these colours and I assume they mean they don't know gender?)Quote:

I lost our baby at 18w last sept (a boy). We hadn't explicitly told the girls ideas pregnant but they knew. My eldest (3 at the time) was suddenly asking if the baby was here yet and she kept putting her dolly up her top and saying "mammy I have a baby in there too" - she only did all this after I lost the baby. I had to have a few talks with her as I wanted to explain to her what happened without upsetting her. I promised I would tell her when I had a baby in my tummy again but I'm so afraid to tell them in case it all goes terribly wrong again. I'm 12 weeks today. Have a scan tomorrow and am a ball of panic.
Maybe I should just tell them as I do believe they're picking up on things.
How many weeks are u now?

Dreaming: the yellow means they didn’t sway and then the green means they aren’t finding out gender.

DreamingRainbow, awwww, thank you! I can’t believe you haven’t ripped open that envelope yet! I sooooo wouldn’t be able to resist!!!
JL7, I’m so looking forward to seeing your results post!!!!
Babybeaublue, oh so sorry! I completely misunderstood. Well, it’ll still be fun to go through the clothes I hope. I know it sounds strange but I love sorting through clothes!
MLKA, oh! I love all of those names!
DreamingRainbow, gosh, I’m so sad you had to go through that! Heartbreaking! I’ll be stalking for your 12 week scan post!!!
