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?

YES re libido, with my boys I wanted to just like usual, this time I have NO interest. We have done it like 2 times since my BFP. The irony is I was so sick with the boys if anything I shouldn't have felt like it then, but did. This time I'm not sick at all but still don't want to dtd!

Hi there. Saw this through New Posts. Guys do not like it if they cannot "fix" something and he cannot fix this. I hope you get the gender you are after. All of you!

Hi ladies - it is OK for me to join? I have been kind of hiding out since my MMC in February but I am now about 10 weeks along, due the end of February!!! I have gotten to see our bean 3 times on ultrasound now so I feel like I can come out of hiding Last week at 8 weeks, 5 days heartbeat was 176 and baby was moving all over the place...and dr said everything looked perfect so I am just trying to be positive and believe this is our baby. Our DD is 21 months old so ours will be about 2 years, 5 months apart. I am just feeling so, so blessed to be pregnant again, though terrified. I wonder when I will relax.

AFY and HUDS - CONGRATULATIONS girls! I am so, so happy for you both! Congrats to all of you on here!

Tree-No worries, I knew you got it! :-) I wrote some in just referring to the rest of the gals that probably hasn't read it yet! Only us preggo's could appreciate a good laugh about this one!

Glad you ladies are in the same boat with me in the DTD department. I know the more children you have the more tired you are at the end of the day so since we are all so brilliant and amazing we may have to let something slip on occasion and right now it's in the DTD area! :-) Pregnant ladies unite! Maybe we should start a support group for our DH! LOL!

Onthepond - Welcome, and congrats! What's your exact due date? I am due Feb. 26th, sounds like we're super close to each other. How are you feeling? Nauseous? Tired? I am occasionally nauseous (not throwing up), but have been so, so tired...like seriously wiped out! Ready to get some energy back!

Interesting to hear that I'm not alone on feeling down. I've always been so happy to be pregnant, it's strange to feel so blah this time. And those of you who have been told girl/probably girl, very interesting that you still feel down! I keep thinking I will feel totally 100% better if I hear girl, but that may not be the case. Sounds like pregnancy hormones working against us!!

Omg onthepond i didnt know u was preg... A huge congrats to u!!! Thats lovely news!! I hope u a healthy 9months. How hav u been? Any sickness?

I blame FR - my DH wants it every night at the moment! Argh;( it mightbalso be the boob growth LOL.

They aren't called pregnancy horMOANs for nothing! I am not sure if it is the rain, not having any of our stuff here, not knowing anyone here, DS1 and 2 behaving like animals, DS1 nearly losing his thumb and needing emergency rabies treatment after the cat bite or pregnancy hormones but I am not exactly top of the world either! We move into our house on Friday which i think will help.

If my scan shows a girl then I am sure everything will seem better!

Congratulations onthepond wishing you a happy and healthy nine months!

myrainbowgirl - You are definitely not alone in this. I've never experience such anxiety & depression in a pregnancy before. I really wanted a baby, and was so upset that it was taking longer than our usual first month to get a BFP. Once I got that BFP though I haven't stopped doubting our choice and worrying about a life with 3 kids and if I'm going to totally regret it. I've also been constantly terrified somethings going to be wrong and having all these other random irrational thoughts. I'm also just so down in general, which I can't even explain why. I just can't believe how much my mental health has been affected this pregnancy - I literally go to sleep at night worrying about something and wake up feeling exhausted and totally anxious. I'm so tired even though I'm 21 weeks now, but I feel like it's because I'm not getting decent sleep at night! So yah.. all this to say I am so right there with you!
