November Chit Chat

I have no clue about the fertilized egg question...sorry Flava.

About the PP....I didn't want that either! I wanted 2 girls. That's it. I thought I might want a bigger family...but that was after DS1....thinking I would have 2 girls after him....LOL! Now of course, 1 girl would be just amazing. I do feel bad about the "no sister" thing, but then again, I have a sister(3y younger) and we have nothing in common and are not close AT ALL. Anyway, there's also a girl on there who's pregnant with her fourth girl and she has been so vocal about being blessed as she DID NOT want a boy. Everyone there is pissing me off today. Plus, my 3.5yo, red haired, obstreperous child has emptied the entire contents of a 1lb bag of raisins ALL over my living room. I think there has to be about 500 of them on the floor. ~sigh~

My 1 yr old did this a few days ago, only she made a stack in one of the corners which looks like a pile of mouse droppings!!!

I bet that's a defense mechanism because she doesn't want to get the rude comments those of us that have 3+of the same get. I mean, I never thought of PP as ideal and I wanted boys mainly BUT....after 3 it's like come on I'd like a girl too! LOL! But I have to admit during this pregnancy people/strangers would tell me I hope this is your girl and I would always say I Love having boys--that was my defense mechanism cause I just wanted those comments to go away. i just didn't want people to ask me what I'm having cause if I said boy, I knew I would hear rude things and I don't want any of my kids to ever hear anything negative about who they are, or mommy needs a girl, or poor you, etc.

[DoulaMama]

Oh GG, I'm thinking the same thing... Her gender guess was boy, she had a bet with her DH that baby was a boy, so I think she was shocked to get a girl. Who knows...I just find it so hard to listen to people complain about how others don't appreciate a "healthy baby". Who said we didn't appreciate that??? It's kinda like birth for me....yes, I want a healthy baby/healthy mom....but there is more to it than that! An empowering experience does a whole lot of good for Mama's! Same goes for this- I want a healthy baby....but I really want a girl as well Sorry about the ranting...it's been a crap day

[Glittergirl]

Totally get it! I announced on FB what we are having...now I'm terrified what if the u/s is wrong...what will people say. I already had to hear all the crap when we got preg. every comment was about "oh trying for a girl huh?" or hope you get a girl I felt like posting "NO we wanted 4 kids either way" which was the truth but I kept my mouth shut and was just polite. At my son's soccer practice a mom with PP found out its a girl from another mom who congratulated me and she made the remark that the u/s could still be wrong! And went on to tell me about someone's who was. AGH! I'm seriously considering going in for another u/s. DH would be MAD though, he thinks those aren't good for the baby and we should just get the minimum u/s needed.

When hubby and I talked about kids we only talked about having 2 and we wanted a pigeon pair. But honestly I would still love 4 kids. I don't have my family around at all and my kids fill my day.

Yesterday at the store I was holding DS2 close because of the wind and at that moment I felt so happy that no matter what happens I have my kids with me to hold. I am happy with what I have and if we don't have anymore kids then o well.

My husband was talking last night about having 4 kids and said he would like 2 girls next so they would have each other like the boys have each other. He only said this because we saw a family at a resturant who had BBGG and they had each other to talk to and everyone was happily joking around.... I wrote down on a napkin that we agree on having 4 kids and the last 2 will be girls, we both signed it! So I quess God/s have to honor that contract right

[DoulaMama]

So, how is everyone? I've not been on here much lately. I have a cold of some sort-it's attacked my throat and I've been coughing non stop Ugh. That and my nose is just totally plugged. What a joy.

Mocha- how are you feeling? I'm sorry I havent sent the herbal info to you yet I'll get on that.

Anyone have snow yet? We have an inch or two and it's making me excited for Christmas I'm not looking forward to Jan/Feb though. They have to be the worst months of the year, for me. It's so darn cold here and I feel trapped.
On a more positive note, I've just signed up for my midwifery studies! It's a 4 year distance education program-plus apprenticeship and hands on course for stitching etc I'm beyond excited!!!

Oh and only 2 days til I see my nugget!!!! Eeeeek!!!!

[Mochagirl]

Wow, DM - 2 days - you must be so excited!

I'm doing ok - I have my ups and downs. The bleeding's almost completely stopped - just some brown spotting. I go for my u/s tomorrow and my blood test Friday, so that will give me a better idea whether I'll be ready to conceive this cycle. I miss being pregnant and just want to have a baby to look forward to again.

Hunny, with your nub shots, your 20w u/s, numerous people seeing a girl, plus the tech telling it's a girl.......
You do not need another u/s YOU ARE HAVING A GIRL! People like that are mean and want you to sweat it. Ignore and enjoy the last half of your pregnancy, with your daughter in your belly. xoxo
