January 2012 Chit Chat Thread for TTC Boy

[Hobbermittens]

Hey ladies just popping in to say no action yet, I'll let you all know when something exciting happens.

Are you getting impatient?

[Princess of Pink]

Y - I am picking names, bedding, any big items I need, etc... Keeping me busy for now lol

[3Pink1Blue]

Are you getting impatient?

Little bit

[Yahmama]

I totally had that. Luckily, most of my TTC time took place over the holidays, so I was busy. This time of year, NOTHING is going on... maybe spend more time watching TV or reading!!

I just feel so bad for my kids while I'm in this ttc mindset! My oldest is 5 and I'm homeschooling this year since he can't be in Kindergarten yet and we can't afford preschool--so I try to do a lot of things with them, but during the winter it is so hard because we can't go outside as much and to parks to play as much as we do when it's warmer. There's only so many free things available to do with kids and i'm not going to pay a lot of money to go to places just to keep my kids occupied. I just haven't felt like taking the time to plan out crafts/activities for them at home, and I really should force myself to do that instead of sulking around thinking about ttc!

Jen did you go early or late with your girls?

[begonia]

Good luck tomorrow MFC!!!! NT scans are nerve wracking, not just for the whole nub issue, I mean I literally find myself holding my breath just hoping everything looks normal. So FX nub or no nub you walk out tomorrow and can rejoice in a healthy growing little person in there ... and FX for a cute pic too

Oh Jen so close!!!! Can't believe it! I'm jealous. I do like keeping them in and all, but I'm definitely feeling VERY pregnant these days. If this girl comes early I likely won't complain She's giving me mega heartburn lately.

Yahmama I remember feeling guilt sulking about because I was so worried about whether this was a boy or girl ... it's hard to be fully present with your kids when you're TTC or pregnant I think. Maybe try to set a goal for yourself of doing one project with them a day. Then let it be a free for all the rest of the time

5 and Hobber are your due dates close?

[Hobbermittens]

5 and Hobber are your due dates close?

Yeah! She is the 26th of Sept I think? And I am Oct 4th. So just a week or so apart.

[TTC5]

Yep we are close! Although I tend to go early 36/37weeks!

[3Pink1Blue]

5 - dd1 was a week late, dd2 was right on time and dd3 was 6 days late so it's anyone's guess when he'll make his debut.

B - oh I feel ya on the heartburn. Luckily mine has let up a bit, fx yours does too.

Good idea....I forgot how I'll prob also get that obsessive when/if we do get a sticky BFP of trying to figure out the gender. I really don't want to be wasting my time away with my kids like this. One of the main reasons I really want a ds is because I feel so sad that my ds is already 5 and he was such a sweet baby. I need to enjoy him and my two sweet dds now instead of pining away for a brother for him. Yes, he'll be around 6 if another baby come and maybe that will be a large gap if it's a boy to have a close brotherly relationship, which is what I've been wanting for him since he was a baby. I just need to accept that boat has sailed and he loves his sweet sisters and always has close friends. It just hard not to want that for him.

Either way, I just really want another baby now, so it's probably best we don't find out so I don't worry too much about it and just enjoy pregnancy since it will most likely be our last.
