Coocoo that is sweet that your DH tells you to set up a cleaning service. My DH is gone all the time. Usually 5-7 days sometimes longer and then he is home for that long too. Sometimes I feel like the Mom and the Dad... cleaning the house, fixing things that break, mowing the lawn, etc. I can't complain much though cause I get to stay home and not work and he is home and doesn't have to work at all for long stretches.
Two days till gender scan... why am I freaking out??
Mrs incredible I was wondering if you had a link to your sway. Both the before the loss and what you did after. I am having difficulty in figuring out what to do for mine. I had a perfect kitchen sink sway and while I am scared to drop things I am more scared not to.
Coocoo, fantastic that your hubby thinks like that! Are you still managing to stay team green!? I go from welling up with emotions at the tgought the test might mean I'm having a daughter, to buying pink then feeling silly "just in case", to feeling positive and happy, then thinking of the gender scan and feeling terrified!
Wanting pink ^^^^ i think it's how we're all feeling, scared the scan shatters the dream. You'll be fine tho. Can't wait for scan pics!
Rosie, I'm going to post my "laid back sway" as atomic says! It was far from a sway but was the best i could manage. I think the mc and feeling ill during the last pg (effectively ate little) with one attempt made the difference for me. But at my nt scan it didn't surprise me when she said the turtle potty shot looked too far out, i didn't think my lazy sway warranted me hearing girl

Tomgirl I go from having energy, mowing the lawn, cleaning the house, to being completely wiped out (probably because I just did all those things). Yesterday was not a good day. I was baking cookies for DS2 teacher and ate some of the cookie dough and got really sick (morning sickness). I know better than that!! Had to take a Zofran which is only the 2nd time I have taken one this PG. I will not be doing that today:)
Mrs I, I know how you are feeling!! One minute you are happy and looking a little girl clothes and the next minute you are scared to tell anyone and the next minute you wish you hadn't said anything to anyone about it being a girl because then you will look like a fool if it isn't.
I was the same way with DD1. After my MIL telling me that "Dean men can't make girls" and not doing a real sway I thought it wasn't possible to have a girl. If I had a 12 week uls where the tech thought it was a boy then it would have been worse. I found out at 12 weeks (MaterniT21) and from 12 weeks to 15 weeks (gender scan) I was a mess. I wanted to tell people I was having a girl but then thought it was too good to be true and telling people would jinx it. My SIL kept telling me I am having a girl cause she saw it in a dream?? Everyone was getting my hopes up and I was so scared they would come crashing down. When we told my MIL it was a girl she was speechless. She seriously didn't say anything for at least a good minute. Then she said "how is that possible"? Then she said "Oh I wish we would have tried for a third" which made me really sad cause I know how much she wanted a daughter.
I am kind of having those same feelings with this one but they aren't as exaggerated. I feel more confident that it is possible to have a girl and my diet and life were very similar to DD1.
What day is your gender scan?
I would love to have someone come in and clean that would be awesome! I work about 25 hrs a week and do a lot of the cleaning and laundry, cooking. Lately though I find it hard to muster the energy to do much. I have been ravenous this pregnancy which is new for me. With my boys I always had a ton of energy and just felt great didn't have a huge appetite just normal.
This pregnancy I HAVE to eat and eat like I've never eaten and then I just want to nap, I wake up and then need to eat and then just want to go back to bed. Of course I don't cause I have to get the kids and go to work but geez I think I could just have an IV put in and sleep this entire pregnancy!
I'm with you on the eating thing. I feel like I could eat EVERYTHING, even when I'm full. It's so bad and I'm so scared I'm going to gain 100+ lbs this pregnancy. I'm thinking I'm going to have another 9 pounder like my boys :omg:
I'm the same as you ladies with the energy!! Sooo tired most of the time but little spurts that my husband says is nesting cause I just go nuts! But it's like for 20 min to an hour and then I'm starving and want to sleep lol!
It's next Friday, dragging in already! I've not spoken with my in laws after a fall out 4+ years ago! although dh is trying to rebuild bridges with them. They've never seen the boys all that time although that was a decision we took for the good of our family and I stand by that. However, they will take great pleasure in me never having a daughter as during the 10 years I was around them it was no secret I wanted a daughter. My mil had 3 boys and couldn't have any more kids, and she admitted once that her friends convinced her her 3rd son was a girl. You would think she would have had empathy for me with 2 boys at that point, I was so glad I didn't have to listen to the snide remarks when I had ds3. Her other 2 boys had GGGB & G.Quote:

I felt normal (lol) again and wished I hadn't told everyone. Then i read the thread the maternit21 wrong gender thread. Timing sucked.
However after paying all that money, surely I am right to trust in the science ;) ??! Xx
