September 2013 babies!!

[Honeychild]

Thanks guys, you're all lovely! It's settling in now, and it was a relief to get to talk with dh when he got home from work. I know it will be fine in the long run, and as you say Salsa, once I meet him I'll lose my heart for sure. I'll just have to wear the pretty dresses myself!

OMG I had to read so many pages, and we have only been away over the weekend. So I am trying to catch up now..

Fish, again, I am so so sorry. You are in my thoughts a lot and I cannot imagine how you must be feeling.

Honeychild, I am so sorry you didn't hear girl!! I also find it very comforting from the other girls on here to know that three boys are awesome as well. For sure you will be falling for him when you see him. It is also probably good to know now already since you can adjust to the thought and get excited about having another boy. I am glad your DH is such a big help to you!

Divakotka, how are you doing?

Wanting, wow, your cake is terrific!! Is that fondant? I am still pretty new to this but I am planning a pirate ship cake for DS1 for his birthday, which is coming up in about 5 weeks. I really hope the result is going to be ok. How was DS's birthday? He must have been so excited and happy with his cake!

Thorz, I am not an expert but I would definitely guess girl as well if that is a nub. I also totally agree with Wanting - waiting until 22 weeks is torture!!! How much does an elective scan cost? I also booked one for April 2nd just to be sure. I cannot really trust my OB as she only saw no boy parts, but didn't say anything about girl parts either. So before I go and buy pink, I have to know for sure.
I love your experience at church the other day!! So great that you could hold her! I would be very proud as well. Great how you are dealing with the waiting and not-knowing-for-sure. I also think that is pretty girly. But I can totally relate to not trusting your memory, lol. I am just the same, I didn't get any pictures from the last scan and I am so not sure anymore about what I saw, lol.

Nothern, that sound soooo great!! Being able to write "she" and "her".. how wonderful! I hope she will be moving up though. A sore cervix doesn't sound like a lot of fun...

Elements, that must have been SO terrifying!!!! I cannot even imagine how you must have felt, not at all knowing where your little girl could be! I am so glad they found her so quickly. Your heart must have stopped. I think that's a nightmare for every parent. So weird they didn't see her at all and that other kid could talk her into coming with him/her. So scary.

Wanting, OMG how could they ring up the wrong parents? That is so bad!!! I wonder if they know what those messages does to parents
Have you made a decision about your name on here? What a bad coincidence with your cousin! I totally understand you do not want anyone to know about anything you write on her. I hope that you can somehow change your name or so. Are you sure she knew that this was you? Maybe she didn't really see which user name was logged on.

Mum2boys, yes, this is definitely not fair at all. I also hate seeing families with such sweet girls or children in general, and so often, parents don't appreciate how lucky they are at all. So many seem to have no love at all for their kids. I remember one situation which happened about 10 years ago. I was on a train and there was a young mother with her 4 year old son sitting next to me. She had met a friend or so on the train and was talking to her. The kid wanted to know where they were going, but the mother wouldn't tell him. Then, at last, she told him where they were going, and the kid said something and then he said "maybe it might be better for me not to come along at all. I am such an annoying kid anyway". That was so heartbreaking, the way he said it, totally believing in what he was saying. The mother just agreed with him. I so wanted to take that sweet kid from her and adopt him. He was such a sweet boy. And the mother was full of hatred for him somehow. It was so sad I totally agree with you. Having such a SIL "having it all" without appreciating it... that seems and IS so unfair and can make you real angry

Mom to three girls, I am crossing my fingers for you for the Materniti21 test!!! Three weeks of waiting is hard though. When are you doing the test? Today? Wishing you lots of luck!!

[Mum to three girls]

I'm sorry you didn't hear boy Honeychild, there is something hard about the third pregnancy when you know you're having the same gender as the previous two. But, like everyone says, once he's here you won't be able to imagine anyone else.

Elements, this baby was facing the right and the last three were facing the left and even I admit that the nub looks boyish.

Longing, I did have my blood test today. Over the weekend my sense of logic and calm returned and I considered cancelling but I'm pleased it's done now. Three weeks seems like forever so I'll hopefully forget about it for now.

Who has the next scan???

[Wanting-a-girl]

i think i am okay with not changing my name as of now... just cause i know shes not actively trying to conceive... i dont even understand why she would be swaying for a girl when she has two of them already... i think she says things to just tick me off.. get under my skin lol... all the i hope its a girl for your sake comments from her is nauseating... why for my sake?? i told her i just want a healthy baby shes says no you just want a girl... i could have smacked her crocked smile off her face

Honeychild, congrats on your healthy baby boy!!! I love how comforting & reassuring all the ladies are about having 3 of a kind. It really seems awesome to have that combo. Last night my ds2 (who I had horrible gd over) woke up crying. Dh and I were still up watching a show so I sat him on the couch with us. He was holding my hand and rubbing it with his little thumb. I just kept thinking how much my feelings had changed since I found out he was a boy. Now I am completely smitten over him. I hope I remember that feeling of awe when I find out about this baby. Another thing that brings me happiness about the idea of having 3 boys is watching them grow up into handsome, wonderful men. There is this picture circulating facebook and it warms my heart. How wonderful to be surrounded by those handsome men!

Well now you will know for sure if you are having a boy or a girl. Three weeks sounds like a long time! Hopefully it will be sooner than that. I am sure your testing will come back fine and hopefully they will find a Y!! Sending my blue dust your way!!

Thanks everyone for the complements on the cake... it was definitely a hit at the party. I love how excited my kids get about their cake. Longing, it is a buttercream cake. I haven't done many fondant cakes and my kids don't like the fondant so I try and stick with buttercream.
