Babypink - She made that comment into the scan, but was just with conversation. I was saying we thought we were done, sold a lot of stuff, etc.
Max - where are you suppose to start back work? Do your kids start school later than normal? Ours started this week!

Kat-from the outsider's perspective (maybe b/c I really wanted a girl), your situation sounds ideal to me, win-win! Since you swayed for a boy and boys are pretty awesome, I hope you have a boy in there to experience both genders! [emoji170]On the flip side, the idea of 3 girls sounds so awesome & like such a sweet bond! You do make beautiful girls [emoji175]
Max-how are you doing today? I bet you are drained from everything! It sounds like lots of stories shared here of large hematomas with a positive outcome! I'll keep you in my prayers, I believe everything will be just fine [emoji173]
Hi ladies! OMG yes lola, honestly I am so overly exhausted from everything emotionally. I've tried reading up a lot on what it all means and there's so many different scenarios, the scariest being obviously miscarriage but also preterm labor. My other pregnancies were so smooth, this is just hard to process I guess. My sister took the girls last night and I was able to lay in bed all night and today. I have to tell you that as nice as that seems, I'm starting to go stir crazy. Really praying I don't have to do this for the remainder of my pregnancy!!
Kat, my girls start school after labor day. It sounds so late, but they don't get out of school until end of June! I own my own business so I can loosely go back after labor day as well. We also gave away EVERYTHING, like literally everything! :)
Momoffour, thank you so very much for all of those tips! My doctor didn't say much about it honestly. I'm going to load up on protein and vitamin C&K. Really do appreciate it!!
Max. That happened to me I was saving all my boy stuff because I knew I wanted another baby. My aunt talked me out of it and shortly after I got pregnant with Braxton. She knew I wanted everything back after they were finished with it, and they didn't give a thing back.

Well i have had such an emotional day today. Decided to go through all the girls closets and the storage room. I had laid out all the girls old clothes and baby gear for give away and was planning to get rid of them over the summer. I was hoping to close the baby chapter but here i am expecting a fourth ... i am just exhausted. Not looking forward to the sleepless nights, diapers, weaning ... and i simply cannot do another girl i am getting tired of the pink, the ruffles and the tutus ! It was fun at first but now its just too much ... i hate myself for feeling this way but i can't help it.

Max-I can imagine you would start to get cabin fever, but it's a good chance to rest & take care of yourself! Mommas often don't take enough time to ourselves to rejuvenate! I know what you mean though...it's hard to be forced into staying at home when used to being on the go!! Are you still at the beach house? So nice of your sis to take your girls!
Mommy-can't believe you didn't get any of your baby things back from your aunt when she knew you were preggo!!!
Max do u like to knit or crochet ? Maybe u could do that while on bed rest ?
Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk
Blue, I sooooo understand that! I am thinking long term and so excited for our family to grow, but I have to be so honest that I'm so terrified of the sleepless nights, going through potty training again, tantrums that we have grown out of, etc. And I got rid of all of our pink princess gear and never wanted to repeat that stage. My DH said that if we have another girl she will have to be a tomboy. [emoji23] My nephew is 2 and walks around all day in his spider man costume shooting people with his fake webs. It's honestly the cutest thing and my DH is so jealous of that!
My mom knits and will be here soon, will have to have her teach me. Good call!
Lola, yes we are still here until late august. I'm so not ready to leave....I'm not at all excited about getting back to the hustle and bustle. How are you feeling??
Mommy, that's so crazy! I gave away all our clothes and gear under the assumption we were done. But I do have to say that part of me is excited for new things, you know?

Mommy that's so annoying they didn't give it back!
Blue I really think you should find out gender [emoji6] not for me but because maybe you can't get over the emotional hump before delivery [emoji170].
Max embroidery is fun also ! You could embroider baby quilt squares and have them made into a quilt!

Blue- I agree with Ash and I think you are, but I think you need to find out beforehand. I'm so sorry you feel that way!
Max - I do have all my favorite clothes 12 and under to save for my grandchildren and then I have most clothes 2 and up bc that's when I started wondering if I could convince my Hubby for another. Every outfit I've put on my 3 year old lately I'm like I'd really like to use this again [emoji23] And our kiddos live in super hero costumes so you could totally do that with #3. Is your husband wanting a boy or indifferent? Mines saying he wants another girl now but I think it's bc our oldest wants a Sister [emoji175]

Yes i will be finding out before birth for sure. I know i will need time to get used to things if it is indeed my 4th girl.

Max-Jealous that you're still at the beach! If you have to be stir crazy somewhere, that's the place to be!!! I do hope you have a girl, but if you're tired of the princess phase...I can assure you that you'd have a different experience with a boy...superheroes, cars, trains galore! 🤣If there's a puddle, my boys will find it & jump right in. DIRT, they love playing in dirt! Lol. I'm feeling pretty good at 14 weeks, thanks for asking! My anatomy scan is set for 9/15, always look forward to that appt, but nervous too!
If anyone is on Instagram and wants to connect, PM me your user name! I love Instagram and would love to keep up with y'all that way too [emoji175]

Blue-missed your post! Sorry you're having an emotional day! I agree with Ash, it'll be good for you to find out gender so that you can prepare yourself mentally either way. Those early baby stages are def tough, but it will soon pass & you'll also have 3 big sis mommy's helpers! [emoji4]
Today DH looked at me and said, why are we doing this again?! In exasperation at our constantly bickering kids. Lol. He was joking ... mostly.... but I'm also like, FOUR KIDS?! Are we ready for this?!
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Srg thats me most days when i come back from work tired and sleepy and my kids r no where ready for bed i say that to myself as well " how did this (fourth) happen" . I am such a planner and it baffles me how i got pregnant almost 5 days post ovulation ( based on opk's,like isnt the egg able to live only 24hours ? ). I should have used double precaution but i though we were safe

Ahh anyway yes looking past these hurdles i do see a family of 3 (maybe 4) gorgeous girls, taking charge of the house, looking after each other and just being their amazing selves.

My oldest is 7 and such an absolute joy. Good manners easy going good grades ... my middle is 5, headstrong and fearless ( i will need to keep an eye on this one) reminds me of merida honestly [emoji1] My youngest is a blessing and an absolutely easy going baby.Quote:

Yea, Lola. They are like that though. Lesson learned! Was glad I could give it to my sister this time!!
Max knitting could be really fun! I tried, but mine never turned out right! Lol
Exactly it's always so much fun to buy new things for the new baby! They get their own new stuff!
Definitely ash, but lesson learned!
Just came from a baby shower! One of my dh's cousin! I love her she's a sweetie! She loves her gift and said it would probably be his coming home outfit!

thankyou for your sweet comment on the old thread Kat i did reply to you there probably should have put it here really!!
bluebooties i get it i was so done with boys stuff after #4 i really struggled with the idea that #5 could be another boy
just to add you can totally have a baby girl without pink or frilly, i have a friend who had a girl earlier this year after 2 boys and cant stand pink/frilly so her daughter never wears it! she does alot of blue, yellow and stripes/spots, she doesnt seem to struggle to find girls clothes and baby always looks gorgeous :)
Ash im the same i love having a baby in the house :) id rather do sleepless nights with a newborn over irrational toddler meltdowns anyday!! im one of those weird people who wishes the squishy newborn stage would last longer, even if it means i average 4 hours sleep a night..
Max- I like knitting, but I have to say in my opinion crocheting is much more fun and easier to teach yourself and you can make things much more quickly crocheting than knitting. Either way though both are fun. I taught myself how to do both about 5 or 6 years ago and I am so glad I did it's so fun. I used to embroider as a kid it was fun as well. I would definitely find something fun to do though otherwise it can get boring quickly on bed rest.
Wow you ladies are so crafty!! How do you embroider? I would love that!! Do you watch YouTube videos to teach yourself how to crochet?
Lola, how exciting!!! That's so soon! I'm so excited for you!
Blue, for what it's worth (and I know I've shared this so many times)....I'm the 3rd of 4 girls. My reason for swaying girl after having two girls already is simply because I want to give my girls the blessing that I have in my sisters. We are so incredibly close, always have been, and our bond grows even stronger over the years as we raise our kids (one sister is here in NYC with me, the others are across the country). To me having same sex children can be one of the biggest blessings for your children as they grow. I also know a lot of boy/girl families that are also very, very close, but wanted to share my perspective in case that brings any comfort at all.

Max embroider is probably the easiest of them all! You can buy fabric kits that have the pattern stamped on them and it tells you what color threads to use and for beginning you can get one that's just "x" s and all you do is sew x's right over the stamped ones on the fabric. Then once your finished and have it quilted then you wash it and the stamped pattern under your stitches will disappear. Super simple lol they started selling them at Walmart here recently.

Blue, I know how you feel. Sometimes I feel overwhelmed at having a 4th, and although I'd never say it out loud, if it's another boy I'll feel that the work and effort would be all for nothing. On the flip side, I'll be so happy my boys have each other.
I'm one that always wished for boys. If i had to choose between all boys or all girls, I would've chosen all boys, so I feel like it's wrong for me to complain now. I was raised around mostly women but I'm not close to any of them. Having my boys I've seen brotherly love and I'm convinced it's a boy thing. I know women can be close, I have a best friend and she's from an all-girl family. I just never wanted that for myself. However, I feel like I can handle one girl. But i do feel selfish for wanting that one girl. What if SHE wants a sister? What will I tell her? "It's not all it's cracked up to be?" I feel like a hypocrite for saying boys make awesome brothers but girls can be solo just fine, but that's truly how I feel. Sometimes I think I'm gonna have a boy just because of my inner feelings.
Sorry if all this is offensive to anyone, I think I just get defensive when people see my three boys and assume I'm trying for a girl. Although I've wanted a girl all along, I truly only want one. I wanted many boys, however. So it's nice to hear different thoughts on what makes up our dream families. Hearing some of you say "I want all girls" doesn't offend me because I know you know what it feels like to want all of one gender and I feel understood.
This is the outfit I got dh's cousin. They are big time into hunting! Even she hunts!

Babypink I had two brother and never remember wishing I had a sister so it's never crossed my mind that my only girl could want a sister some day [emoji53]. Hope she feels the same way as I do.
Mommy sooo cute! ❤️ dh is NOT a hunter but I grew up hunting and now my dad takes my boys!

Thanks Ash! That's really awesome that your dad can bond with them like that! I know they really enjoy that!
I bet she will love being the only girl ash! She will be your beautiful princess!
My dd longs for a sister, but she also says if she gets another brother then that's alright, because she is the only princess and that makes her special.
