October 2013 babies!

[motherofboys]

I do feel better today, I also still feel my family isn't complete and chances are it never will be but I feel more positive. I had some baby clothes I ordered arrive today. They are really cute.
I don't think its helped that I have a cold, and have had a headache since 3pm yesterday.

Oh and DS2 was trying to be really nice to DS3 this morning following him round reading Cat in the Hat to him LOL

I am just wanting to just find out what this baby is 100%. I am having such crazy dreams trying to find out what it is. I have find SO many things online that exactly 16 weeks there has been so many opposites. I am so hopeful right now. I want to get another scan but I just know I should just wait until I am farther along to know 100%.

I hear you navywife. Since my friend had her little girl yesterday I am driving myself crazy wondering what this little baby will be. Still so long until June 12! I did contemplate ringing a private clinic and booking a scan but then realised that would be a waste of money really-whatever this baby is can't be changed so I should just sit tight and wait until my 20 week scan when I can find out for sure.

I also got really distressed last night by the heartbreaking story of the mum in September's birth group who just lost her baby. I was flicking back through the gut gender instinct guesses forum (trying to remember what I'd posted when I'd added mine as right now-I have no gut feeling either way!) and saw her signature about the change of events and cried my eyes out reading her story. Made me realise its not just the gender I'm holding out to hear-I really want to know that this little bubba is healthy and well. Bring on June 12...hurry up already!

Hi ladies, just stopping by to say hello and catch up on everyone's posts.

Good days outnumber the bad now, but I still have my moments. Still shopping like crazy! I have rather large box stuffed full with baby boy clothes now. It's kind of exciting. Duncan is becoming more and more real to me, and I enjoy picturing him in the little outfits I've purchased.

DS1 only has 2 1/2 weeks of school left and then we're on summer break. I've decided to just enjoy the month of June and then really start getting ready for DS4 once July comes. I'd like to have all the rooms rearranged and ready to go by August. DS2 will be starting school in the fall and he and DS1 will be sharing a bedroom now, so I definitely want to have them situated and well adjusted before they start school. By the time September gets here I just want to be able to kick back and relax, and wait for baby's arrival!

DS3 and DS4 are going to share a room so DH and I asked DS3 to help us pick out bedding for him and his brother to have. He picked a really cute Snoopy set, and I really like it. I think I'm going to order it after my next ultrasound.

DS1 and DS2 would like a Harry Potter room, specifically Gryffindor! I'm a huge HP fan, so I think I'm going to really enjoy creating their space for them. I'm picturing lots of maroon and gold, and some broomsticks on the wall. I just need to find a nice bedding to work with it all.

That's about it! How are you all doing?

I can't believe how long your kids get for summer in the US. I remember last year chatting to someone on a TTC forum and she said her kids were breaking up for summer. Mine have another 2 weeks, then will have a week off for half term, then they go back for 7 weeks and break up near the end of July. They only get 6 weeks here so are back in September. And people moan its too long and that its should be cut!

Glad your good days are out numbering your bad and it all sounds really exciting what your doing with their rooms. It makes October feel very close when you break it down into jobs you have to do. I've been trying to break it down for DS3, as DS1 and 2 know that the baby is due a few days after DS2s birthday and they know when October is.

Who has their scans this week??

[My Three Sons]

I have my scan on Thursday. I am getting so anxious and nervous. I have been hoping and praying for a girl, but then I feel guilty and worried that something may be wrong. I have been so distracted lately and short tempered. I hope everything is OK on the US...

Good luck on your scan on thursday!!! And good luck to lime for tom!!!! FIngers crossed hoping to hear some good news from you ladies!

Im sorry everybody has been feeling lows lately. I too have. Ive been so exhausted lately and really snippy on everybody. Im just so anxious for next week. I keep seeing little baby girl stuff EVERYWHERE and it gets me excited then I quickly get sad. I need to know what this baby is its driving me nuts. But then I have this friend who cant even get pregnant and I feel bad for even wanting a certain gender! I have beeen blessed with 3 amazing boys (prob 4 lol) I know things like this shouldnt matter but I cant help when these feelings take over Espeacially with these damn HORMONES!!! lol I am very grateful for my boys and if I have another I will be grateful for him too, but this not knowing is killing me. But I hope everybody starts feeling better!!! My thoughts and prayers are with everybody!!
