Dreaming Pink Due Date Group: TTC and Beyond

[Charlee]

Meeks you crack me up! haha

She's right though Emily... do NOT unpack that house by yourself!!!! I've done it enough times to know... you will be in a world of pain my dear LOL... Actually, you'll end up in my boat and then you'll be sorry! hahaha

[Charlee]

Hi GeCon Glad all is well! I didn't watch the video but if the consensus is blue by 20 weeks I would feel confident in buying the big items in blue! I did it at 14 weeks

[Emily]

LOL you always make me laugh. " will try to avoid carrying him upstairs whilst on one leg though" haha that is so me. With ds2 I had such bad pelvic and sciatic pain I would stumble around the house clinging to benchtops to get around, then wonder why... of course I lifted ds1 in and out of the car, bed, high chair, carried him if he was whinging, etc. This time at 15 weeks its already so bad I can't stand on one leg and lift the other leg to put on my undies! I have to sit down on the bed like an 80 year old and groan while doing it. Its just so sexy. lol

4 story home should make that SO much easier for you, NOT! But making it a priority and being conscious of it will help, no doubt, you won't be allowed those nesting moments where you carry a bookcase upstairs by yourself because it simply must be done RIGHT NOW, not in 2hrs when DH gets home. Not that I would have ever been that silly *cough yesIdid cough*.

It is so annoying isnt it? I kind of brought it on myself doing the karate moves at DS1s self defense class to give him confidence (I know how stupid I sound LOL), unpacking etc but still have to get my head around being limited physically due to pregnancy. I promise not to carry any bookcases and amtrying to interest DS2 in duplo, blocks and colouring this morning rather than running games.

mathilde I feel fat too! I must have been really big with DS1 and 2 though as I am still not big enough for most of my maternity clothes but my normal jeans and skirts are getting pretty tight! I think th ebump must have been lower with my boys as I have got pg at the beginning of April with all three so you'd think I would be perfectly set for clothes.

Ladybugs - Aww, rainbows! So sweet and adorable! Thank you for thinking of me! How are you feeling?

Mathilde - Yes, when will you get your big scan??

Bunnywabbit - So glad you're feeling ok...and that you have a plan of action should there be some sort of problem, although chemicals are very common and I wouldn't be surprised at all if the next one sticks!

Emily - Ugh, be careful going up and down so many stairs! Try not to overdo it!

Charlee - Same for you...rest up!!

GeCon - I tried to look at your video, and it just wasn't showing up on photobucket. I saw some other photos of baby, and your pg tests, etc...assuming I was looking at your stuff? But the video wouldn't show. Sorry! Bummer you didn't get 100% confirmation. But, based on your first pic, I would agree probably boy. If you're not convinced (and I don't blame you), could you pay for a private scan, just to be sure?

Meeks - You don't need confirmation...you've got a little pink one in there!

Big scan on the 20th of september

Charlee...holding you to your promise!!!!!! I am learning through this pregnancy the rollercoaster that it can be.....how scary hearing chromosomal issues and knowing that my hubby is scared and can't be my best suppport when I need it. I have to cling to the hope that my ladybug is going to land in my arms in 15 weeks time and it will be worth the wait.

I know that these babies are all just that....worth the wait!!!!! The cuddles are going to melt us to bits!!

Mathilde...you are too sweet! I want to be the support I know that is needed, especially when IRL GD (both desire and disappointment) is not understood. I have been on both sides of the coin in the pregnancy, and it hurts both ways. I wanted my little boy to be as welcomed as a girl would be...

and her health concerns are so diminished in light of her gender.


Emily.....I tend to go overboard too, I might not pull a Meeks and try to move the big furniture but lately, I can't just stop going. Even when I need to rest, even when I feel too tired...so my goal of the last week is to set a limit with what needs to be done and leave it nightly at that. It might mean tackling it before work the next day....or not get done...gasp!!!!

Gecon....like I said before, I am not the gender guessing good girl, except when it came to my DS2....that beans and frank was obvious. I did though grasp that I did not see that....and even had the pink dream on his birthday.....lol, the fact that he was for sure boy was blatant and I was somewhat in denial. I only bought a few items when waiting.....and indulged my shopping when he showed up!! You sound like one busy girl!!!

Bunnywabbit.....if you can get testing early than the 3 goes...I say go for it. Our recurrent loss testing revealed nothing...but it was there to rule out that things could be causing the losses. The m/cs taught me more about me....and how I am determined to reach my goals....and that our stories are not over just yet.

Time to hit the hay...be back tomorrow.... sending out hugs to all!!!

[I Love Ladybugs]

Myrainbowgirl...I was typing my novel while you wrote yours....I am glad you like the babylegs...they are perfect for a rainbow baby or mommy who adores them!!! I keep on seeing them in my mind and think of you. There is also the multi-colour ones that are "rainbow", but they reminded me more of Rainbow Brite.

I am trying to keep up my cheer at work, the clean at home and the energy to be a good mommy. I look forward to Friday nights and the early bedtime I get when Dh goes to work. Only 8 more weeks at work.....then mat leave begins!!!

Add me to the "fat" feeling, saw a patient with the perfect preggo belly...I sure don't look like that.

Thanks for all your comments, ladies.

Not sure why the video is not working for you. Try again:

I am not sure if I would get another scan. I am not sure why the doctor didn't think it was as clear as last time, but to me it looks pretty clear.

I appreciate your input.

[2lovelyboys]

GeCon I'm still thinking boy! You can always buy blue and take it back if necessary?

Ladies ladies ladies what are you doing with all the furniture moving?! Gonna be busy enough in a few weeks, chill! Need to take my own advice, rearranging bedrooms at the moment hee hee

This time last week I barely looked pregnant, bump was tiny, in the past 7 days I have put on 5llbs and ballooned, have treated myself to some new maternity kit

[GeCon]

I am pretty confident it is a boy, as I said maybe there was a teeny bit of hope when he was sitting cross-legged and she couldn't see anything, but in the end I thought it was quite clear.
