I'm so glad to hear things are getting better mummypink. I haven't been on in a bit due to the holiday craziness, but you ladies haven't been far from my mind.

Spinning, I hope you had a wonderful Christmas with your dh and your boys. When my eyes opened early Christmas morning, my first thoughts were of the families in CT and you Spinning.

Hope everyone is doing well!!!

Just checking in really fast to say Merry Christmas! I just left my anatomy scan and this baby is so definitely a boy lol. I hope you're all doing well!

He most certainly is Shell. Your dh must be very proud...lol. Congrats.

[Shellbelle]

Lol, thanks. DH said "woooooah." Lol

Hope all you ladies had wonderful holidays. Dh surprised me with a 3d ultrasound. It was amazing and I have been able to totally embrace the thought of boy #4! We have picked a name, he will be Lance Rolan but we will call him by his middle name as is tradition with 2nd sons in dhs family, my oldest 2 boys are from my first marriage. I hope everyone feeling gd is coming to terms with their opposite bundles!

Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas!

Winngrin: that's wonderful you have a name, and a great one too! Now you have me tempted to get a 3D later on for this one as well. I think the boys would love it.

Brandles: that outfit is adorable! I bet it's becoming so much more real to you.

Shell belle: wow, that is most certainly a boy! LOL. I hope you are okay with it. I know it's sinking in more for me each day. And now that we've told our immediate family and some others it makes it more real.


Hotdogs: hope your scan goes well and that you hear pink!

AFM: Christmas dinner was exhausting! We all had a good time though...and the boys were so spoiled. They have 4 aunts between the 2 of us! I am most definitely showing but thankfully haven't gained too much weight... About 7 lbs. I am trying to avoid GD this time if that's even possible. I haven't started exercising yet. I just can't seem to get myself off the couch at night! Exercise is the last thing I want to do!

Great name, Winn!

Glad you're feeling excited, Mummy. If this little one is a boy, DH and I are hoping that one day we'll have granddaughters to spoil too!

[Brandles]

Thanks, TT & Genie! My sister is so talented with her bows and has been making them for her own daughter.

I've never had gd with my pregnancies, but I've actually thought about putting myself on the diet. I've always been in the 125lb range and after I met my DH my weight went up to 155 because he spoiled me with ice cream EVERY NIGHT (mmmmn, but sigh). I started off my pregnancy with ds3 at 155 and delivered at 179. I went all the way down to 130 and and over the last ear I crept back up to 155 (totally depressed after miscarriage). I weighed myself this morning and I am already at 170. Dang you Christmas food!!!! I'm hoping it's just water and I can taper off a little. I've been so lazy this pregnancy I have no idea what's gotten into me.

Shell~ Definitely a boy there!! I love your DH's reaction, lol!!

Mummy~ glad to hear your starting to get more excited. I had obsessions about how I was going to sway for #4 and honestly I really have no faith in swaying anymore so I gave up and that's when I got my girl!! Have you thought about what birth control method you're going to use after baby is born? I know we are done, but for some reason I really don't want DH having a vasectomy yet. I'd rather just have an iud for 10 years and then at some point make the decision to make it permanent.

Hotdogz~ hoping your scan goes well and I'm thinking pink for you tomorrow!! Fingers are crossed!!!!

[mummypink]

Thanks Brandles, not sure about birth control yet. I don't want dh to get the snip, seems too final and I am pretty sure he wouldn't be up for it lol! Maybe when we are older when another baby would def not be a good idea. I've always just used the pill before and it has worked pretty well for me, although I have hardly been on any contraceptive since ds1 as I stopped taking the pill 3 months before we started ttc him. Fell pregnant the first month of trying, then as we planned to have a small age gap between our first and second baby I didn't got back on the pill we just used condoms. Then started ttc when ds1 was 7 months old and feel pregnant the second month.
After ds2 I was on the pill for about a year, stopped taking it when we seriously started thinking about ttc number 3 and we used condoms again until we started ttc this time. It took 9 months to get pregnant (with a 2-3 month break in between) as we were using Shettles method initially and just weren't getting pregnant. The month I switched to the LE diet and ignored timing I got pregnant with ds3!

If I was to get pregnant by accident after ds3 is born it wouldn't be the end of the world, but I think as you say it would be better to happen that way because if I get obsessed with planning etc again I know I would be even more heartbroken if it wasn't a girl. Who knows, ds3 may be an absolute dream baby I may find my older two are amazing with him and decide another would just be great. But for now I definitely feel like a weight has been lifted just by accepting that realistically I am done after this one. xx

So what is everyone doing for NYE? Obviously there wont be any all nighters drinking and waking up in the new year with a hangover! We arent doing anything, we might go firework hunting, they usually put on kids ones at 9pm and then go off to bed.
