Maxim I just don't know what to say [emoji853] instead I'll offer huge virtual hugs. Can I ask how your dh took the news?

Thanks pbn! He was very excited. I haven't told him how I feel, I can't at this point. I was the one who convinced him to try month after month....he was totally content with our two girls.

I don’t see it Pbn3?!? Strange! Anyway, my appointment was very productive. While I’m not dilated anymore, my cervix is super squishy, haha! She said that dilating decreases when the cervix ripens but not to worry. She said she would take a squishy cervix over being partially dilated and effaced any day. Those can happen without the cervix softening and is the biggest reason for many inductions to start labor.Quote:

I got the most amazing nights’ sleep last night! I feel SO rested! I bet she will come this week. If not, I have a scan and a non-stress test scheduled for Monday to determine how long past my due date I can go.

Aww max! So many hugs sweetie! I had gender disappointment with my fourth baby bad. I just thought I'd always have two of each and be done, but after that news that she was indeed a he I just couldn't get it out of my head that our family wasn't complete yet, I felt bad because even while pregnant with him all I could think was I need one more girl. Even made the dr check to make sure I was able to have another baby after my fourth csection.
Once I held him in my arms though and especially now that he is two my bond grows stronger for him each and every day. I could never imagine a girl to replace him. I tell him I love you more than I could ever love you as a two year old girl. I mean it, because I couldn't imagine a life without him. He's brought so much light to our lives and he was just what I needed to help me ease the pain of losing my dad, and in ways he reminds me of my dad. Only thing I miss about being pregnant with him and I tell people this when I'm asked is my dad. While I was pregnant with him I still had my dad and then after I had him then I didn't anymore. Anyways the lord knows the perfect baby for your family, just it'll take time to adjust to it.

LMSM-Happy birthday to your little girl. 2 is such a fun age (although I'm sure you're already aware).
Mommy2apples-Sorry it appears negative. Heres to hoping next cycle is it!
Pbn-Cute bump and your cat looks just like mine. Shes also always under my feet or right behind me...she gets stepped on a lot...
Maxi-I'm sorry you're having such a hard time. I can't relate but I had severe depression during my pregnancy with my 2nd and had no connection with her (she was unplanned and came at a not so good time in my life), now shes my cuddliest little huggy peanut and I couldn't imagine not having her as part of my little family.
Thanks momma! It'll happen when the lord wants it too for sure, just only in his timing. lol it's not working while I will it too.

Kat we have Parker, Isaiah, Kaysen, and Jonah. So not to traditional but not to off either! Surprisingly my ob has told me many times sperm won't make you go into labor but will make you contract [emoji849] maybe they're right and baby is just ready to come early on but I feel like it's the sperm. And he says he isn't touching me when I get past 30w [emoji23][emoji23].
Sky I second LMSM I'm sure you've got your boy baking!
Pbn love love the bump! Super cute! [emoji177]

Max - totally get you 100%. I actually casually mentioned I was disappointed to my husband and he told me that's ridiculous and didn't get it at all.
Ash - still think both those names fit [emoji1305][emoji1305][emoji1305] I can't believe you are 28 weeks - ahh!! That's so awesome!
Mommy - thank you for sharing that. I truly truly hope I feel the same way one day, like can't believe I ever felt this way bc she's the perfect addition to our fam [emoji175]

Thanks everyone for the bump comments [emoji173] and lets see some more! Where are the bumps ladies [emoji38]!
Mommaxo3 my other cat has a terrible habit of running between my legs as I'm walking which usually ends up with him getting slid across the floor and me cursing at him [emoji23]
Xxforhubby this is going to be such an exciting week!!!! Cannot believe you may be just days away from meeting your baby girl! What an amazing end to an amazing journey it will be [emoji173] I have been reading your ddg and looks like it's about to get busy in there [emoji3][emoji6] Look forward to your appt Monday if you go past the weekend. Due date Saturday right? Imagine if she came right on time [emoji3]!!! I wouldn't put it past her! Us women can be quite organised and timely [emoji6]
Maxim I'm with Ash about the having to deal with all the comments about how thrilled you must be having a boy from everyone assuming..... I hope knowing the comments are coming will help prepare you in some way. Plus having dh so excited is really tough as he likely would not understand your feelings. So vent away here anytime and don't bottle it up as xx said. In a little while maybe try and go out on your own and make a purchase for your baby boy, something special for him just from you to him [emoji170] it may be a start to turning these feelings around xxoo

Ash I just said to my mum yesterday that I cant believe I'll be 25 weeks next week and only have 15 weeks left (well 14 with scheduled c-section) getting crazy close to the single digit countdown [emoji50] And with your history of early labour you may be even closer [emoji3][emoji3]Quote:

Pbn no no I'm not closer this baby is going to stay in this time lol I'm confident! She needs to wait until the week after Christmas so I can have a week to clean the Christmas chaos up.

I had such a busy day and still going on. We did good packing over the weekend. Dh did the heavy work. [emoji12]
I got weighed yesterday and I haven't gained any weight in 20 weeks. [emoji4]
It's not worrying anyone since I started out heavy. And I am actually happy to feel lighter. Moving this Friday. Still so much to do.
Max - I am so sorry and I know gd is hard. And dh being so excited must not be helping. Hugs. Take your time and share anything with us. Like Pbn said, try to go shopping for the baby and may be that will help you. ❤️
Xx- Such an exciting time. Can't wait for your little sunshine. Pls keep us updated. [emoji175][emoji177]
Mommy2apples- Hugs and I hope you get a bfp soon. Are you going to test tomorrow?🤞🤞 I am so glad that you shared with us. It was the same with us when my older sister had her second daughter. She was born a day after my dad passed away and even though everyone was hoping for a boy, she brought so much love to our lives since we all were so close to my dad that we would have been lost had we not have a little baby in our arms.
❤️
Pbn - You have such a cute bump. I too feel it's a little girly.[emoji175]🤞
Such a cute cat. I got your pm but even that didn't work. I will try to login using my laptop. That might help. Now will need to wait until the move.
Ash - So exciting. You will be 28 weeks in just 4 more weeks. [emoji4][emoji4]Awesome. I sometimes feel the time is crawling. Part of it is because I am too focused on eating. I don't want to go on Insulin. So every week that goes without it brings relief. [emoji52]I wish to make it to the finish line on my own diet controlled. Gd took a lot of fun out of my pregnancy. [emoji53][emoji53]
I love those headbands. I can't wait wait to see your baby's pictures with the pretty outfits and headbands. She is going to be such a stylish baby. [emoji175][emoji175]
Lolla - How are you dear?
Bluebooties- Glad that the work is distracting you. Will be thinking about you. What time is your appointment on Friday?

Hi everyone! Sorry I've been MIA, I had a very frustrating weekend & week so far. We have been renting our current house & planned to possibly buy it when our lease ended Jan 1st. Our landlord was aware of this & wasn't going to show the house. Well, she is expecting a baby in October & changed her mind. She let her realtor friend show the house & the family put in an offer ugh!!! We decided to go ahead & put in an offer as well for slightly higher. They counter offered with a significantly higher price & we're not getting into a bidding war, so now we've lost our house [emoji22]I want to nest & set up my girlie nursery soooo bad!! My plan was to find a new place ASAP, but the new buyers don't want to move in until Jan & we're bound to our contract to pay rent until then ugh! We were hoping they'd want to move in early & let us out of our lease. Now I can't set up my baby girl's room until Jan, a month before I'm due. Sooooo annoyed! I've been busy with work & trying to figure out our next plan...
So I need to take time to fully catch up, but a few things I noticed:
Pbn-your bump is SO cute! Looking great! Your kitty in the background is precious too :)
Max-I'm so sorry you're having these feelings! I'm sure it's tough running your sway through your head & wondering why you didn't get your desired gender & you have every right to feel disappointed. I just know this little guy will be the perfect addition to your family when he arrives though [emoji170] Like Pbn's idea of shopping for him & maybe you can think of the perfect name that excites you! I can see how it would be hard to share your feelings with DH, but hope his excitement helps ease the GD with time! HUGS ❤️
XX-OMG! Getting so close!
Ash-LOVE those headbands!
Speaking of cute girlie stuff-my "sprinkle" is this coming Sunday with my family/friends! Excited!
Sky and Lola I feel so bad for you ladies having to move and Lola that is just awful having to move an set up house a month beforr you're due [emoji853] I would appeal to the owners for early release based on that fact and hope they will let you move out in November or something.... then you have xmas to deal with [emoji30]
Sky you are doing amazing with your gd diet [emoji3] go you!!!!! And that's fantastic that you're holding your weight! Good luck with the move and in case you missed it Atomic posted the boy sway link in that thread I've pmed through for whenever you get to use your desktop again :)

Also, my coworker had her twin girls yesterday at 35 weeks after her water broke!! Her girls are healthy and off breathing machines-so wonderful! They weighed 5lbs 6 oz & 4lbs 11oz-good sizes for so early!!
Can I share just how happy I am today watching my brand new roomba robovac cleaning my floors! I could literally cry tears of happiness! Dh is in the good books for awhile now! He let me use our medicare refund from my obs bill to buy it and I'm over the moon!! I had one for a few years until my boys decided to pour water into it about a year ago and fry the circuit board. I really really felt its loss as I used it on a daily basis and I'm thrilled to bits I can do so again!!!! I have a bit of an ocd issue with dirty floors (even when its minor) and now I dont have to bend in half sweeping up stuff during the day!! I may just do a happy dance right now!!!

Lola that is just plain awful ! Ur landlord should not have done that and i agree with pbn. Talk to him/her about new baby coming etc and see if they would let u move out of ur lease early.
And yayy for the "sprinkle" will be waiting for pictures
Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk
Pbn-I was so hoping there was a way around this, but talked with our realtor & sounds like we're stuck ughhh! The sad part is that we really loved this house...perfect size & location and situated on a cul-de-sac. We were waiting to sell our condo before buying. Just sold the condo which put us in a good position to buy & then these people come along & mess this up for us [emoji22] Guess everything happens for a reason, but wanted to stay. DH says we'll rent for a year, then buy an even better house. I just want to be settled NOW! Pregnant momma is not a happy camper lol.
Sky so exciting about moving!
Will Test Thursday if af hasn't arrived by then.
It's so crazy how death and babies being born go hand and hand. My dad kept asking when you having him? I'd tell him and he would say oh that's to late. Mom would be like are you dying? He'd say I'm not dying. He knew he was though. Just hope he got to see and hold my little baby like he wanted.
Sky that's the perfect baby you all needed in your lives to help ease your pain as best as can be!
Oh Lola that's terrible of her! I'm so sorry! Prayers that things work out. That's not even right.
So exciting for your sprinkle!!
So many prayers and positive vibes that your sweet baby is perfect bluebooties!!

Ash-so our landlord made an effort to be fair. She told us that the family put in an offer and then gave us the option since she told us we would have the first option to buy. We asked their asking price/details and went a little above it. They must have really wanted the house b/c I was never expecting a counter offer outbidding us & essentially becoming our new landlords in Oct. We thought it may be mutually beneficial to move out early, but noooo they are renting & have a lease until Jan...so our rent pretty much helps pay their rent or new mortgage grrrr. I'm pretty livid!!! I think something shady is going on...maybe since the realtor is her friend, they're sharing some type of commission. Not fair!!
Blueblooties-I was totally hoping that playing the "pregnant card" would help, but since my landlord is also pregnant & due next month...she wants to sell this house ASAP b/c it's holding them back from buying another house. She acted like she understood the need to nest and said she would talk with the new owner's realtor. BUT pretty much sounds like we're stuck b/c the owners need to pay their other rent. I was so upset & cranky about this over the weekend!! :(
@ lola: arghh ! [emoji36] so not good !
