I thought i'd start a thread for us all who've swayed blue. Not sure how many ladies have had bfps lately but please join me
What a great idea!!!!
Been meaning to start thread for ages, hope you get your bfp this month!
Oh fun Babydes, thanks for starting this! When is your due date? Mine is 3/5/12. And Jen needs to get on over here too! And we have lots really from June ... DebH, Sunnye, ams... I am sure I am forgetting some ...
I swayed blue, due 2/17/12.
Thanks hunni!Quote:

Babydes I'm glad you've been able to eat so well! I can't stomach much. I just have a general feeling of ick and not much sounds good ... I've been eating a lot of chips. And drinking soda or fruit juice mixed with club soda. With DD1 I had pretty bad ms from 6-15 weeks, with DD2 the whole pregnancy was just perfect and wonderful. I'm hoping the ick lifts and doesn't change to full on vomiting :nails:
My boobs haven't really changed yet either! They did with DD1 but not much with DD2 til my milk came in. I'd love a little pregnancy boost though.
The other thing different this time for me is I have lots of CM still. Never had that with the girls.
When is your next appointment? Do you have an NT scan scheduled?
I love chips but have been avoiding because i've put on weight already! Well if you look on the positive side for you at least you not pilling on the weight this early. My m/s usually starts around 8 wks which i am this week so i'm not counting my blessings just as yet. Your symptoms for your daughters are very similiar to the ones i had with my girls, i was convinced my second was a boy because i felt much better with her than i did with my first, hmmm goes to show that m/s has nothing to do with gender.
I cant say my cm is a lot or little, it's normal i think.
Babydes, I was just like you ... totally sure my DD2 was a boy b/c of the difference in the pregnancies. When they said girl at my u/s I wasn't necessarily disappointed, just totally shocked b/c I was so sure it was a boy. ITA that symptoms really have nothing to do with the gender. But it sure would be nice if they did, LOL.
Can't believe you're 8 weeks already! My 8 week appointment is going to be here in no time, my July is super full. I'm glad to stay busy with the girls right now though... but it's also why I'm keeping my FX this light nausea is as bad as it gets, b/c they don't start back to school for another 6 weeks and I want to enjoy the rest of the summer with them. Especially DD1 since she'll go to kindy in the fall and we won't have as much time together.
Do you get a scan at 8wks or at a later stage? I'd have loved to have a 2yr gap like you between this baby & my other daughter who'll be 4 when the baby's born, i think they plan so well together & it's just too cute! I hope the light nausea doesnt get worse for you so you can enjoy with the girls. I just feel icky if i dont eat as soon as i'm hungry, still havent thrown up so FX it stays this way
Babydes I had a scan at 8 weeks last pregnancy for dating, so I am betting they will do the same again. My 1st 2 girls are 3.5 years apart (so close to your 4 year gap) and they couldn't possibly get along better; part of me worries a 3rd baby will ruin their dynamic because right now, it's awesome. They are total buds.
Today I actually felt pretty good! I ate a chicken sandwich and waaaaaaaaay too many sour watermelon candies :-) We're doing pizza for dinner and that sounds good too. I'm hoping to incorporate a vegetable at some point; I haven't had any appetite for those. For some reason (and this has happened with my other pregnancies) I get very funny about texture and lots of veggies seem too slimy. It is so strange to me how pg changes your tastes.
When will you tell your DD's? I'm going to wait as long as I can; I'd like to wait til I'm 20 weeks unless I'm showing like crazy. And I probably will be, LOL, but a girl can dream. Anyhow I figure pregnancy is long enough that even once they know there will still be a loooooong way (esp to a child) before the baby arrives.
I've told my girls already, the little one says she's having a baby brother called George (from Peppa Pig) so i said it may be a girl & she says "no thank you":bigsmile:
My work collegue's daughter finally had the baby yesterday, she really wanted a grandson & guess what she got her grandson & i was jealous. I'm not a jealous person usually but i remember when it took me ages to fall preg that each time i heard someone was preg i'd be happy for them but i was also jealous & asked why cant i have that too. It's the same thing now when i hear someone's had a boy i cant help but feel jealous, dont get me wrong i'm really happy for them but i just cant help it. What gets to me is some people get exactly what they want, my ex boss got preg & said "i dont want a girl" & i hoped it was a girl because she was a right b*tch but no she got what she wanted a boy aaargh! Anyway this is the only place i can vent out:mad:
Hiya ladies, just popping in:) Things are good here, enough symptoms to keep me happy, exciting isn't it!! I have had the need to 'start getting this house in order' so I NEED to seriously pick a room and get it started, thing is theres soo much to do, where do you start! My kitchen cupboard has collapsed its propped up by bricks, theres a tear in the sofa but DD4 is obsessed with drawing on everything so can I risk a new one, we need carpet fro the hall and stairs and theres little nail heads sticking up which keep catching peoples socks grr! Which is the priority?? Money is available but not plentiful!! Say a 500 £/$ budget as they pretty much buy the same things for a uk/us exchange rate.
Baby, I get the jealousy thing, but only for people who I feel are smug about having a pigeon pair, or arrogant about having exactly what they hoped they would have. I have some very good friends who have a son, found out they are having a daughter, and said "oh, great! we have the perfect family. no need for us to have a third!" I can't stand being around them right now. I'll get over it b/c I know they didn't mean to insult my family, but hello!?? Totally rude.
ELP I would go for the kitchen cabinet and the carpet - esp the carpet! That part would drive me crazy. Too funny about DD4 drawing on everything! Both of my girls are that way! They got blue clay all over my white couch last week. Luckily we're getting rid of it in 4 months anyway so I didn't get upset :-) In the meantime though it looks quite awful, LOL!
This thread is slow, where are all the boy swayers?
Thanks girlstyn thats really interesting:shrug::rofl:
:rofl::rofl: She's clearly just trying to wake up our thread, ELP ... as Babydes noted we aren't a lively crew! YET! I'm hoping once we get some more BFP's (CHEEKY get over HERE!) we'll get more action.Quote:

I'm flying tomorrow and just keeping FX I don't have to use the barf bag.
Other than that my pg symptoms are definitely different than I had either time before (though I don't think it means anything since both my girls gave me different symptoms) ... my nipples changed color! Like, very dark! NEVER seen that before.
Okay so here I am :)....Af is due today/ tonight and no signs plus the little pink line is darker so have got the courage to post here LOL pinch me - I still can't believe it....
Begonia - LOL at the dark nipples - I got it BAD with both my girls LOL- I didn't notice with DD1 as it was gradual until one day after my preggo aqua class when i looked at my self in the bathrooms and noticed them old nipples STARING at me through my bathers ...............so embaressed LOL:suprise:
worst thing was it was at a gym pool on lower floor with all gym people excersing on machines above able to look down through the glass.......ROFLMAO....gave them a GREAT show...
I SWEAR there was No nipples when I brought them !:oops:
babydes- so cute not sure about the name george though
LOL
Welcome Cheeky, glad to see you here. Yep George is definitely out :bigsmile:
My nipples were really dark with my last preg but i cant remember when they got dark. At the moment i havent got dark nipples but i'm sure it will happen, i have tender nipples though. This preg is once again different but i'm not holding onto the thought that it's a different gender. I've loved fruit then went off it in a week then i've loved salad which i still do & olives. I can eat cheese or cheesy pasta sauces which i absolutely hated when preg with the youngest, i can eggs which made me throw up with both DD's. Am loving chips & coke but trying to avoid. I can smell onion, garlic, coriander which i also disliked with the 2 girls. I can cook with onions/garlic etc without them offending me which i couldnt before so yes it's been better with this baby. I still feel icky here & there when i'm hungry or if i see food after i've eaten, i dont like opening the fridge after i eat coz i just want to throw up. I'm still a bit funny with smells like perfume & some cooked food but way better than with the girls & best of all it seems to be easing off as the days go by. So there goes where i am at the moment.
How about you girls? How you all feeling
Welcome Cheeky! Glad you're here ... and too funny about the nipples, how embarrassing! LOL!
Foodwise I am currently on a fresh fruit kick. Meat isn't really working well for me, particularly if I have to cook it. I like nachos for dinner, just chips and cheese though. It's not a very healthy diet but I'm working on it! Oh and potato in any form still works very well for me... chips, fries, baked, mashed. All good. I tend to feel worst in the evenings.
The acne is pretty bad this time, not at all on my face but right under my jaw, and then my shoulders and back are a MESS. It's gross. I can't wait for September so I won't have to take the girls to the pool anymore and show everyone my yucky skin!
Hey ladies finally joining in! Here's my attempt to catch up lol
Baby- my boobs are a bit fuller but not any bigger.
B- me too tons of slime still, it's quite gross lol I could go on and on about hating the arrogant. My sil loves to point out that she has the perfect family, and all the problems that having a boy brings. One of these days I'm going to punch her in the face, ok not really just in my head. Don't even get my started on back acne, so nasty right now.
Over all feeling pretty good now. I got a pretty nasty case of the icky's at 6wks 1 day but started fading at around 9 wks. My diet is horrifying to me, I'm living off bowls of cereal, deviled eggs/egg salad sandwiches, chicken nuggets and French fries. Food in is food in though right? Well that's my justification and I'm sticking to it :bigsmile:
Your diet is sounding like mine Jen lol!! Wheres all the health food gone we were on:oops: I'm currently toast, chips, cheese sandwiches, chocolate! No wonder I've got the dreaded yi back constantly grr! Jen you must have a date for your NT!!! I can't wait to have a date in hand, something to work towards:)
Theres a lady over on IG called IC1111 doing psychic predictions, give her a try she seems quite genuine, she called gilr for me which is fine as I'm feeling pink lol, she has a bit of a backlog but if you post I'll keep my eye out for your replies!!!
And BTW I have a George!!!!!!:bigsmile:
Elp- I have an us at 12 and 13 wks, that's as far ahead as we're thinking right now.
I've been having trouble sleeping lately, I'm sure it's just panic setting in. I'm 13 days from my m/c point and I think even though my brain is trying to stay calm I think my body is admitting it's anxiety. I wake a few times a night, right around the time I woke with the miscarriage, and lay there for a while. I'm really getting sick of this, I'm so ready for calm and happiness.
swayed blue in January, due in 10 weeks :)
Are you getting pink or blue?
Tooo exciting Roo!!!!!Quote:

I feel like my sway was strong but don't trust my gut, it lied to me before lol
Roonarpa- I'm a dork, guess I could have just looked at your sig lol
I just had my original midwife call me!! She did my care for babies 1-5 before we moved to a new area 10 minutes up the road. When we moved we came under a different health authority, so a new midwife, even though I chose to deliver at the same hospital. All the local ladies deliver at the local authoritys hospital even though it is over 30minutes away. My original delivery hospital moved its location to 10 minutes up the rd (it was originally about 25 mins up the rd), but the local ladies all stick with the further away one??, so if you want to deliver at the new hospital (10 mins) you have to have your care back with my original authority now! Does that all make sense lol:bigsmile: Put it this way, its a silly mess but means I get to meet up with Sarah again, I've often wondred that if fate ever did this would it mean a change of genders for me as I've had all girls with this authority buy a mix with the old one!! We'll see.
ELP- Great news I hope it works out for you - it may just be a sign!!!
Isn't it funny how when you sway you read 'signs' in everything ??? I have been away for a few days and visited my very old Nanna who is loosing it - she recognises family mostly but doesn't hold a conversation etc and is in nursing home .....well She looked at my two girls and looked at me and asked where my little boy was??? I almost keeled over.....as she obviously knows nothing about my pregnancy yet...a sign?? Mabye?
Begonia -sorry to hear the skin is icky!!Have you had this with all your pregnancies ?? Does it pass?
AFM- Had the BEST break- it was so nice to get away for a while..my girls were just superstars...made me realise that I am so lucky to have them and that should this little bean be another girl how could i possibly be disappointed with another angel? I must say I am over this congestion I thought it was a cold/cough I have had but it is going to be almost 4 weeks it has been hanging around I am thinking it may be pregnancy related??? Any one else had this?
I reckon its a sign from old Nanna!!! She knew he was in the room but couldn't see him!!
And the conjestion, YES!!, I get it with every pregnancy ugh, its a good sign so keep hold of it lol:bigsmile:
Oooo, Cheeky that is crazy cool about her comment, I would totally read into it too! My skin was bad with DD1, but man, this one is just really wrecking it. Not on my face so much but my jawline and neck and back are just disgusting. Ugh. I am keeping FX it will pass soon!
ELP I think your midwife is definitely going to deliver this little boy for you ;-) Wouldn't that be funny? I'm glad you get to have her back though, sounds like you really liked her.
Roon I can't believe you've only got 10 weeks left! Wow! Hope you're feeling well!
Jen I'm glad to hear you've got the slime too, I'm SURE it's a sign we're having sons ;-) No other possible explanation at all. FX you start sleeping easier when the dreaded day passes. I'm sure it won't ease it 100% but hopefully it'll ease it A LOT.
AFM I have my 1st appointment 7.28 so am getting anxious/excited about it. Really hoping I get a dating scan so we can see the little bean. Had them with my 2 previous pg's so am thinking I will get one, but was with different docs for those so who knows.
Begonia- it sounds really horrible i hate spots- did it last all preganncy with dd1? what did i miss re the slime...LOL I am intrigued ...although only slime coming from me is in the nasal area! Good luck with your appointment it makes it more real.....hope you get a scan I am going to make sure i get one don't care if i have to pay etc...I had one last time due to a little bleeding...might just mention it again LOL
Elp- I will TRY and think of it as a good sign but man...I am soo not enjoying it- tell me it passed after a while with you?
LOL, do you know what I don't think it did/does with me, I just have a snotty 9 months! A family member even commented on it, saying how my nose is aways runnign when I'm pregnant:bigsmile: I also get embarassingly hot, I mean sweaty lol, just sitting in somebody elses house I will be visibly sweating:rofl: Gross old fat, snotty, sweaty woman on your couch! How would you llike that!!!:bigsmile:Quote:

:rofl: Poor old DH, I am an embarassement to him:bigsmile: But he can't afford to leave me, God bless the CSA (Child support agency;)) Sometimes he statrs crying when he see's that fertile look in my eyes:rofl:

DD2 was more like 16 weeks, so this one ... heavens I'm just hoping I can get through the rest of the summer without people seeing it!
Oh and Cheeky the slime is just good ol' CM. CM that won't quit. I'm so over it!
