Ladies due in Sept/Oct/Nov 2012, gather here!

[HappyLea]

Hi ladies, i been lurking the past few days as i have not been feeling myself. Last night i was up half the night for no apparent reason other than me panicking about the gender of this baby
Close family/friends who know im pregnant keep saying 'i think you will have a girl'. When they say this i feel joy and a little bit if hope that yes it maybe, i would love it to be and so would DH.
Then i have to give myself a reality check that actually this maybe another boy and my dreams of a girl are crushed!!!

I wake in the early hours and cant get back to sleep as im wondering what im carrying. I dont think i can bare to tell everyone that its a boy

At times my gut tells me its a girl and then at other times it says its a boy...its driving me crazy!!!
Does anyone on here have a feeling what i could be having?

I feel i may drive myself insane before i even get to a gender scan.

Mocha ~ i too would put it back to DH for him to decide. I think we will put our 3 boys together as their bedroom is plenty big enough, especially when they are young. Our next house we will prob get a 5 bedroom so they can have a room each when they are older.

PP ~ love the pics of all the pretty clothes.

Auroa ~ will be stalking on Friday, not long now...exciting!!!

PP - hope your spotting has stopped

I feel just the same as this, and it keeps me awake at night too. I also have everyone (all my sisters) saying "I hope it's a girl" and had mostly girl nub guesses which, whilst I love hearing, is also worse because it gets my hopes up too and I would prefer to prepare myself for it being a boy but struggling

my gut also tells me it's a girl

I had enough this morning and decided to try and book a gender scan for weekend after this one, but there are no times available that we can get to so guess we have to wait!

[Mochagirl]

Pp - any updates? Thinking of you.

Sorry about all the gender anxiety, girls. I was sleepless for weeks leading up to my gender scan.

My twins are used to sharing a room, so if we put the 3 in together it wouldn't be that much different. I talked to the kids about it yesterday and they thought it sounded like a great idea. I'll still hope dh will choose the easier solution.

[Flava]

wow you guys talk so much lol.
PP- how is the spotting did you called the doc?? I love all the clothes wow you have a lot! Lot's of pink color .

I also like lot's of different color and bright colors but it's hard to find. So if anyone have a tip where to go tell me lol.
But Im so not thinking of getting anything at all just yet.
And because we thought we are done ttc we got rid of stuff so now i will need to buy even more.
Anyone who will get a shower be happy I never got one must be nice to get stuff!

My 2 girls are sharing a room and I guess DD4 will go to them so baby can have her room.
They will be all happy , not me because Im worried about when they go to sleep lol. But it's our biggest room lot's of place to play . Im planing to buy a triple bunk bed (the type where you pull the 3th bed out from under to sleep and push it back on the morning)so it will only take a place like if they have 1 bed in the room and have all the place left free.
I don't know hope it's a good idea.

[Mochagirl]

I didn't know they made beds like that, Flava - that sounds really cool!

I have a friend who has 3 girls - 5 year old twins and an 8 year old. Even though they have plenty of room in their house, they have all 3 girls together in one room. They wanted to make sure the older girl didn't feel left out because she wasn't part of the twin bond. The girls love it - they're all best friends, and it has left another bedroom free to be an upstairs playroom. Her example is one of the reasons I'm even considering putting all 3 boys together.

[Mochagirl]

Are any of your ladies feeling consistent baby movements yet? I've only felt the slightest twinge here and there and only when I'm paying very close attention. I'm sooooo desperate to start feeling bigger movements - I had a dream last night where I was just sitting with my hands on my belly and feeling my baby doing backflips. I LOVE doing that! I know the babe's ok because I'm still getting a strong heartbeat with my doppler, so I'm thinking maybe I have an anterior placenta AGAIN...which likely means another posterior baby and back labour .

[purplepoet20]

Feeling a little better. There is still a very strong heartbeat. But the Dr thinks the placenta is in a bad spot but I have to wait a few more weeks because he doesn’t think it would be easy to tell until after 16wks. Until then I have to watch the spotting and call if it gets worse. I can’t do anything but minor house stuff, lots of rest, and trying to not stress.

Thanks everyone for liking the clothing… a lot of pink in the NB size but I will only use them for a short time I just like the winter sleepers because Oct is when it gets cold here. The 3mth will be my favorite lots of purple, blue, and bright colors.


Bumblebee – It’s so nice to only be a few weeks from knowing. But sometimes that feels like forever.

Mocha – your two youngest could share a room for awhile and then that should give you time to figure things out. My boys don't share a room yet but they will later this year. I have 2 captains beds in their room with their quilts and stuffed animals. They like to play in there but I know DS2 wants to sleep in there now. I am making some curtains and we are going to paint a Solar System on the ceiling so the room is new and exciting when they have to share. It's harder to put kids together as teens then it is while they are really young.... My dad made triple bunk beds years ago and they were really nice. The lower bed was 8in off the ground and all the beds were evenly spaced. He used 6x6in stair railings for the 4 post, 2x6 for frame in each mattress, plywood for under the mattress, and strong metal reinforcements for attaching (what you would use for a porch support). He stained it and no one knew he made it. It was also easy to take apart when we moved. We used the bed for 12 years and then he sold it for $500 because it was in such great shape.

[Flava]

mocha there is a lot's of beds like that! Just google "bunk bed with trundle" and you can see different types.

I always had back labour it's suck really. But after I was hurting from all the kicks I was thinking it's was so much better when I did not felt any lol

[Mochagirl]

So glad you're ok, pp!

My twins already share a room and have since birth - what I'm considering is putting ds3, who's turning 3 this summer, in with his big brothers, who will be 6 in a few weeks. They have similar bedtimes/bedtime routines, so it definitely makes more sense to me that putting the 3 year old in with the baby...but I'm still holding out hope dh will tell me we can use his office as the nursery and I'll get to decorate a girly nursery for the first time!! It would make a great nursery too, as it's directly across from our bedroom door.

[Flava]

purple- did the doc gave you a u/s or he just think the placenta is in the wrong place? I don't get the "it's hard to tell before 16 weeks" part. They can do a u/s and see where is the placenta or where the bleeding comes from.
Just take it easy and rest!
