Good luck Begonia, I hope you get your boy x
Again good luck hun. Praying it's your little boy in there!!! Sending you all my blue dust! Sounded like a great attempt
LOL hun, you made me laugh with chin hair, I got some too, it's great isn't it? :rofl:
Post your nub ASAP so that we can all obsess over it :p
Love your relaxed approach to swaying, maybe that's partially the reason you had OHW :agree:
Great sway!! Good luck. Can't wait to see the nub pics :D
Great sway!! I hope there's a little boy in there
wow , what a perfect sway, good luck for sticky blue bean :)
NICE WORK, B!!! :celebrate: Now to wait the long 9 months to see what comes out......:wink:
Looks like a great sway B, hope it s a blue bundle baking in there. i can t believe u ll wait until delivery to find out, you are amazing. I wouldn t do that well i didn t :) Big congrats again!
Thanks everyone! :happy:
ZB what is up with the chin hairs, we need a smiley with a big one :rofl:
Boyjoy, I'm waiting mostly bc DH wants to wait ... he always has, and I've made us find out with the last 2. Plus I know if I hear "girl" I'll be a little bummed just lying there on the u/s table, but if I go through L&D and have this gorgeous fat baby in front of me I'll fall right in love. Oh how I looooooove that moment, don't we all?!? When you FINALLY get to hold that little wee newborn?!?! :awe: Or ... if it is a :DS:, I think DH would start bawling tears of joy immediately, and that I want to see. He adores the girls but I know he'd love a boy this time.
Anyhow I get a good nub shot then maybe I'll have a good idea anyway :bigsmile: I didn't get good nubs with the girls though so I'm not counting on it! But I would love to at least have an idea...some of the nubs on here have been pretty obvious, so maybe I'll get lucky!
wow!! i didnt kno wyou got a BFP!! congrats (i knew that you tried but thought you werent pg...obviously i wasnt stalking you well!!!)
CONGRATS what a WONDERFUL sway! perfect to me. good luck and hope you get that BOY.
btw what is the point of THIS questions:
"DH consume caffeine before attempt day?"
i know why it asks consume caffeien 1/2 hr or hour before attempt but why the above??
good luck!!!
Thanks Gizmo!!! I appreciate it :happy:
The caffeine before attempt day Q is bc caffeine isn't great for the sperm health in general, so the thought is if you can get DH to kick caffeine totally his sperm will be in better shape for TTC.
gotchya. guess i have no chance then. dh cant quit. ;-) hopefully the supps will counter!Quote:

Fantastic sway!!!!! Bet it's a boy!!
Hey, I'm tellin' ya, my chin hair that I had since I was 18 years old WENT AWAY on the girl diet and hasn't been back since so I think that's a great sign!Quote:

I think you had a great sway! Good luck to you and sending out a convoy of cerulean dump trucks, driven by Smurfs, laden with blue dust.
I'm waiting for the day the hair above my left nipple disappears and I don't need to wax my 'upper lip' every single flipping week - then I'll know I'm ready for my girl :D
Now that is just darned funny :bigsmile:Quote:

OH and on the chin/chest/upper lip hair ... I alway had a stray hair or two in those areas. But man, swaying boy made my chin hair go cray-z; I went from having 2-3 to having at least 10 :suprise: I really hope that stuff goes back to normal :mad:
Am I the only one who didn't get chin hairs lol. I WANT A CHIN HAIR TOO lol ..
I did however get pimples all over my chin, if that counts lol :P
Oh TTC5 you DO NOT want them, LOL! I started keeping tweezers in my car b/c I'd catch a glimpse of myself in the rearview mirror at JUST the right angle and realize one of the little buggers was waving at me! So at the very next stop I'd promptly pull the offender out!
Pimples are still very attractive too though :bigsmile: And NO DOUBT a sign you'll be having your :DS: FX you get your BFP this month!!!!
Hey hun, great sway, sending blue sticky dust your way. LOL @ the chin hairs, I got a couple too myself, my tweezer was very busy too:wink:.
Congrats Begonia! Great sway!!
Thank you for the blue dust, iamaryam ... isnt' it fun that you have some now?!?! So happy for you, hope you're feeling well!
Thank you ttcboy! Hope to see your BFP sway posted soon :happy:
hey begonia, what did you do for weights exactly? so far i am doing step once a week (2 risers), squats with overhead weights, push ups, sit ups (is this considered firming or resistance???), planks, plies, lunges, tricep dips, bicep curls. i am trying to combine 2-4 exercises with 4 sets each with varying reps (8-20), and only do each four exercises like 2-3 times a week. 4 times if im lucky. but im usually done by 20 min. maybe i should slow down some? how did you ever get to 45 min a day??? ;-)
Gizmo, that sounds perfect to me, though I'm no expert for sure. I didn't do step but did do all of what you mentioned. Plus we have some great machines at our gym so was doing some of those too, particularly the ones to work my back, arms and quads/hams. I worked with a trainer and did 30-45 seconds rest between reps, and about a minute rest between exercises; she is the reason I kept at the sessions for 45 minutes or I would have likely gotten bored at 20 min. It was intense and I really grew to enjoy it; I'm super competitive (which apparently doesn't go with girl moms? but I always have been) and I loved trying to lift more each week.
I also think part of the reason I didn't gain much weight (about 7lbs total) even though I quit heavy cardio (I ran 40+ miles a week with my girls) was because the muscle I built through the weights burned more calories at rest. IMO weights are a great addition to a boy sway if for no other reason than that.
Those are just the chin hairs trying to make their way to the surface but you're too gorgeous so they're afraid to emerge!!Quote:

well i stopped doing step recently bc i didnt feel any muslce building even with 2 risers..prob bc im up and down the stairs all day with the girls. i did the resting like you mentioned and i ended up making itto 35 min! and it felt great the next day. so thanks for the tips. thats intersting about the muscles burning calories at rest. do you mean to say the day after you exercise, since your muscles are growing or strong, it kills any extra calories you dont need? or how the heck does thatw ork? very interesting!Quote:

And like you said, since your muscles are growing stronger your body would need to use energy to promote and develop that growth, so I bet that is part of it too. Also even if you just take the basic example of men vs. women, they naturally have more muscle mass, and tend to burn off calories much faster than women.
I will say though it is one of those things I've always heard/read and can't point to anything directly to prove it!
begonia, did i read somehwere that youwerent going to get a gender scan??? i was really hoping you would bc i feel like our sways are the most similar ;-) good luck regardless!
greattt sway ,hope u get blue bean , .... i also planned to not find out this time :)
Thank you light!!!
Gizmo I know, I totally stalked other swaying friends to see their nubs/20 week scans ... but for us I know for sure I just can't handle hearing "girl" unless I'm being handed a fat little wriggler to hold. And a good nub shot will give you a really, REALLY good idea IMHO so I think I'm better off avoiding that too. Sorry to disappoint! I totally get the wanting to know!
A pound of muscle burns anywhere from 30-50 calories a day just from metabolism, whereas a pound of fat really doesn't burn much at all...just sits there like, well, a pound of fat!Quote:

(These are just ballpark, average figures and everyone is different, of course.)
guess its opposite fo rme,. i didnt find out for either of my 2 DDs so since this may be my last i may want to know...esply to see if this diet works! but i never thought of the whole...how will i feel if its another girl...thru out the pgy...Quote:

My recommendation would be to have the tech write it down though; that way you and DH can have a private moment to find out together ... and if it is a girl and you're a bit bummed, you don't have some tech you don't even know judging you for your reaction.Quote:

Thank you Zanacal!!! That really, really encourages me. I keep thinking I'm only going to like the surprise if it is what I want, KWIM? Love hearing your experience; makes me think it will be fun no matter what the outcome :happy:
