TTC Blue Crew Grads

TTC5: I am so sorry. That is so sad. You are right sometimes we get too caught up in the gender. I am always so thankful for healthy children. I will keep your friend in my prayers.

I will have to remember that one Begonia.

im so sorry ttc5. thats when gender disappointed disappeared for me. we lost our daughter at 22 weeks. it was a kick in the face as i had been so upset she wasn't a boy. honestly after that gender isn't even importnant anymore.

im holding strong at 3cm still. i might be stupid but i think im ok. really i may remain a 3 for the rest of the pregnancy and maybe its just the fact this is my 10th pregnancy that has made me dialate so early. for some reason im not freaked out anymore and i can see myself remaining pregnant until 40 weeks.

[TTC5]

Hey girlmom yep have heard those who have had babies before can be a few cm dialated anyway.

Yay girl mom almost 28 weeks! go you!!

[WashingtonPromise]

I am so glad to hear good news girlmom!!! With such a wonderful attitude you very well will make it full term.


I have another one of those fatsting blood sugar tests on Thursday morning....blah.

[begonia]

Fantastic news girlmom!!! I had a good feeling about your situation; I really do think all will be OK for you and that little man.

WP, boooo to the tests! Hope you pass!

Girlmom, I am SO glad you are holding steady now. I hope all continues to go that way and think it's good that you feel in your heart that you can make it to 40 weeks. What you think about will come about!

TTC5, that is heartbreaking.....I am so sorry to hear that. You are completely right about health being more important than gender.

MFC, I would think of a couple of good comeback lines and have them in your back pocket. I have said this in a couple of threads before, but I feel much better about situations where I gave the commenter a good kick in the mouth with a comeback. Serves them right, and they deserve to be taught to keep their mouths shut with comments about other people they don't know (and even more so if they DO know you). I am so not a mean person, but I feel like that kind of confidence carries forward in all sorts of things....sticking up for your lovely family of 4 is something you should do. If someone said, "Oh my you will have your hands full!"....I would probably retort will "Oh will I? Thanks for letting me know since you know my children and me so well. You must have your hands full being the Grand Commentator of Society. It seems like you are doing a swell job of telling strangers how their lives are going to be. Keep up the good work."

Seems harsh, but it bugs me to read posts over and over about ladies here getting comments about having 4 kids or all boys or all girls or whatever. I say stick up for yourself and don't be afraid to tell that person to shove off. Hopefully they won't make the same mistake of saying idiotic things to another sweet mama and ruining her day too.

ZB and Begonia, hope you gals are doing ok. Miss you all....can't wait to see more baby pics in the next few months!!!!

WP, good luck with your test! I have massive leg cramping when pg also, I HATED it!

Hobber I find it interesting (and great!) that your GD with DD2 evaporated as she got older. I think part of the reason I am ok now is DD3 is a baby... just a sweet little one; babies are pretty gender neutral KWIM? I worry as she gets older and more girly, like 2, that I will have more GD.

I still can't believe I have 3 DD. All I ever wanted was boys and not a single one. Crazy how life works; I mean if 50% of people have 1 of each, and then 25% have boys, 25% have girls ... I had a 75% chance of being either PP or BB. And yet I fell in the 25% I least wanted. Oh well. They are healthy and I am 110% sure I wouldn't love a son more, or be more loved by my kids if they were boys, and I have to keep focusing on that.

Yeah, honestly, I love her more and more the older she gets, and the more her personality comes out. She is a handful, but she is so funny and cute, I can't help but adore her. I hope it is the same for you and your DD!

I always wanted boys, too. I never thought I would have girls. I don't know why it works out that way.
