hello ladies

How is everyone?

I have a big smile on my face. MW appointment went well she took blood for down sydrome test then checked heartbeat. Took her a while to find it and we heard movements before she found it (think peanut was trying to hide lol) and she let us record it so OHs boys can listen when we eventually tell them. My uterus is up by my belly button (higher than i thought) and that is where she finally found the heartbeat after trying everywhere else lol so think my belly is more than just fat now lol although doesnt exactly look like a baby bump yet just look like ive put on a few extra pounds. She weighed me and im back to the weight i was just before pregnancy so put the 7lb back that i had lost. 20 week scan in 4 weeks 2 days so excited to find out what we are having x

My DH just emailed this to me from work. I was LOL I almost peed myself. I thought I would share this!

Can’t beat this logic!!!

What deep thinkers men are...
I mowed the lawn today, and after doing so I sat down and had a cold beer.
The day was really quite beautiful, and the drink facilitated some deep thinking.

My wife walked by and asked me what I was doing and I said 'nothing'.
The reason I said that instead of saying 'just thinking' is because she would have said 'about what'.
At that point I would have to explain that men are deep thinkers about various topics which would lead to other questions.

Finally I thought about an age old question:

Is giving birth more painful than getting kicked in the nuts?
Women always maintain that giving birth is way more painful than a guy getting kicked in the nuts.
Well, after another beer, and some heavy deductive thinking, I have come up with the answer to that question.
Getting kicked in the nuts is more painful than having a baby; and here is the reason for my conclusion.


A year or so after giving birth, a woman will often say, "It might be nice to have another child."


On the other hand, you never hear a guy say, "You know, I think I would like another kick in the nuts."


I rest my case. Time for another beer.

Happy Monday Ladies!

Kick in the nuts doesn't leave you with a child to fall head of heals in love with though... We don't want the pain, we want the children. Silly men! :-)

Soar - LOL LOL LOL!!! Sorry for the yucky nausea. Were you nauseous with your boys? Maybe a girl sign for you?

Nita - Yay for hearing baby's heartbeat! The most amazing sound! Only 4 weeks till you know boy/girl...yay!!

MsBlakely - I TOTALLY hear you on boobs. I sound exactly the same size/condition as you. It's SO sad. I asked DH about implants and he said no way. I was like, even if I repulse you? He still said no way. He is a penny-pincher, though, so I shouldn't be surprised, I guess. I would do it in a heartbeat if he was on board, though! What do yours look like so far this pg? I was still nursing DS3 when I got pg, so when my milk was gone, I actually looked smaller than before! I was starting to worry that they weren't gonna grow at all, but have definitely seen some improvement the last couple of weeks. Hoping for LOTS more growth, haha! My boobs have never gotten really huge during pg, but always giant when my milk comes in. Funny, my SIL has 2 girls, and I always could tell she was pg by her boobs. They would get SO big early in pg! I am hoping my tiny boobs are not another boy sign. Grow, boobies, grow! LOL!

Anyone else craving JUNK? I cannot get enough chips, dips, tacos, pizza, ice cream, etc. The only healthy things I'm craving are fruit and chocolate milk!

I am also feeling kinda down in the dumps. I am a very upbeat person and have never had real depression...obviously sadness and being down or upset when tough things happen, but not depression. I don't think this is depression...it's not that bad, I guess. I can't quite tell what the deal is...is it because this is probably a boy and I'm feeling sad about it already? Maybe it's just hormones? I don't know. It could just be that the summer is getting old and I'm ready to get into a new routine with school and everything! I was a part-time teacher and quit my job at the end of the school year, so don't have that to go back to...but trust me, I am NOT sad about that!! I was so over working! So, just wondering if any of you are feeling a little down and if you've had it before during pregnancy. This is the first time for me.

[Soar]

Myrainbowgirl-I think feeling a little down is a pretty normal emotion during pregnancy. Also the worry about the gender is something I can totally relate too! I find myself really getting down about it and the wonder of never having a daughter and I literally have to slap myself to get out of the rut that can and does put me in! I think you are feeling all "normal" feelings about now, so no worries there! Also I don't know about you but the boys although lovely are driving me up the wall. DS1 needs to go back to preschool for his sanity and mine! Hang in there!
PS- you and I are very similar in our food choices! All I want is fruit and chocolate milk. I ate 60 cherries the other day! Yikes the only reason I stopped is because I ate them all!

***I just looked at the updated pink statistics and it feels good to look at it and see how things are moving along. It also gives me something to think about! Anyway give it a look!

Thanks Meeks for reminding everyone to update their sways!

TMI-----Glad some of you got a LOL out of the kick in the nuts post! My DH was really proud of himself that he got me to laugh. He asked if he made me LOL again this week if he could get lucky! Oh geez! I'm in trouble over here! He isn't use to me having zero libido! I mean nothing this time! With the boys he was happy but this time I have had NO desire at ALL! Like we haven't DTD since I got pregnant (I'm 16 weeks)!!!! Is anyone else in the same boat with me?

I saw cherries at the grocery store and was seriously tempted by them. I don't know why I didn't get any! Not like they're not good for you! But my biggest fruit love is strawberries. OMG. I can eat a 4-lb. container from Costco in a week!

Totally in your boat on the libido thing! I have NONE. I know with my boys, libido was high during 2nd tri, but don't really remember the 1st tri. Fx, maybe it means pink beans for us!!

Myraimbowgirl and Soar, I'm feeling really down too... And I know I'm having a girl, my dream come true! It's so bizarre and I feel bad for feeling down when I've so much to be happy for. I never felt like this with my boys. I keep crying... And I've become so forgetful. Think it must be the pregnancy hormones, not that knowing that rationalises the feelings! Sigh...

P.s. I did get the kick in the nuts thing! I was just pointing out the obvious to take the mick out of boys!

[Smiley13]

I'm totally with you ladies on feeling down. I don't know what it is. I have waves of feeling really happy and then all the sudden I feel blah Most of the time I just want to sit on the couch which is totally not like me at all.

I'm really obsessing over the gender of this baby. I have a private u/s scheduled for the 10th and I just called to try to get it sooner but they won't see me before 16 weeks. I really feel like its an eternity away. I just want to know one way or another to start planning. Any suggestions to keep my mind off of it? I wish I could have just a quick peek at this baby now....

[Smiley13]

Ugh...just explained to my husband how I was feeling and he told me I was being crazy....really not what I needed to hear right now
