[Flava]

Yeah, I think I can survive another week - it'll give me a last chance to hope for a girl before I see a big old penis staring at me on the screen

I want that staring at me you can have the stupid lines I always see it's all your

pinkin- I have a 6 year gap between DD1 and 2! DD1 was a natural birth it lasted all day long and hurt like hell! So i didn't want another kid ever. But with DD2 I got an epidural and all I did was watching tv until it was time to push lol. The pushing hurt a little bit that's it.
Well last baby was home birth and this one will be too so no chance of pain meds.
Don't let them induce you ! It hurts a lot more! But either way make sure you get epidural so you don't feel the pain and then you don't have to worry much.

Sorry you're feeling sick, Flava. I had that same worry at the beginning of this pregnancy, as well as the beginning of the one last Fall that ended in a m/c. It was a 'What was I thinking??' feeling. For me it disappeared a couple months in, once I started to get excited about the prospect of having a newborn in the house again. I love newborns!

I had my 2nd midwife appt today. I finally got the results from my 12 week scan - baby measured perfectly for my dates: 12W4D, and all measurements looked normal. Heartbeat today was 160, which is the same as I get most days with my own doppler. I'll be scheduling my 20 week appt soon, but at least the pressure's off waiting for that one since hopefully I'll know the gender a week from now. I'm soooo glad I booked an early scan - I can't imagine waiting another month!

I still haven't told my boys about my pregnancy - I was going to wait until the results of my blood triple screen, but I found out today those results won't be in until 20 weeks!! Oh well, I guess I'll tell them this week at some point. I think the older ones are getting suspicious anyway.

I told DS1 right away (he's only 4) so he does't quite get it all, but he knows it means there'll be another baby in the house soon, and he's very emphatic in the fact that he wants "no more Evans!"

My husband asked Quinten what he thought we'd have, and he said it's going to be a girl, a baby sister. He is emphatic about this and won't consider another brother. So that makes me just want a girl even more. Still, I know he'll be fine with another brother, if that's what we have. Evan (DS2) is constantly getting into things and Quinten (DS1) goes and drags him back to the living room, but lately, I've seen them actually playing together! DS1 will build blocks and DS2 will try to knock it down or just watch.....

I love the big lit up smile from DS2 when DS1 plays with him. I can't wait till DS2 is walking (he's crusing atm, he'll walk if you hold his hands) because i know once he's walking, he will be following DS1 everywhere, and it will be nice this summer to see them out in the yard together.

DH told me (despite his jokes that this is gonna be another boy) that he really has no gut feeling either way about this baby. He was lementing the fact that if it is another boy, we will have trouble picking out a name again. And then he repeated how much he really liked the name Lillian for a girl. I do too, but it's getting so popular and common, I just don't know.

[Mochagirl]

auroara - I think I told you before, but Lillian is our planned middle name for a girl - it'll be a way to honour my mother since that's part of her name.

Although we haven't told our boys, we've been talking a lot about babies for the past year or so, so I don't think they'll be taken by surprise. We've asked them many times how they'd feel about having another baby in the house, and they all think the idea sounds exciting. One of my ds's has gotten into the habit of talking about it all the time as though he already knows. He asks things like who's going to take care of them when I'm in the hospital, etc. One day out of the blue he told me me hopes if I have another baby it'll be a girl so I won't be the only girl in the house anymore .

Awww, what a sweet boy!

[Hobbermittens]

Auroara--that's funny that your son says "no more Evans"! He will be great friends with Evan in a year or so. It is so fun when they start becoming buddies. My older 2 kids have been great friends since the younger one was about 18 months old. Now that DD2 is 2 she is starting to play with the older ones more. It is pretty cute.

[Mochagirl]

Yeah, my twins ad ds3 are almost exactly 3 years apart, and in the last couple of months I've finally noticed they play together instead of ds3 just following them around and annoying them. It's fun to watch. I'm hoping ds3 and this baby will play together eventually too, since they'll be just over 3 years apart.

[Hobbermittens]

Flava, sorry you are feeling sick! I also know how you are feeling about the baby and "what did I do?" My feelings like that are just starting to fade, and I am starting to get excited about another baby now.
