Hi ladies sorry it has been crazy at work!

Emily hooray for delivering in the uk. Sounds a safer decision.
Ladybugs what fantastic news!
Rainbow hooray for all the rainbows.

Think we have picked our names. Daisy for a girl and Flynn for a boy. Flynn means red headed boy and all my little lads are strawberry blonde like mummy!

Hope everyone is good and doing well. Cook little babies! I mean in our bellies not in an oven or anything creepy like that.

Today was not exactly as I would have planned it...lol, I got lost on the walk, gave a few extra miles on my legs and had to run part of the way. I am so sore thanks to that...I was just lucky with how late they were with the appts.

The first appt. was a blow...we had been talking VBAC/hometown, now because they want a pediatrician to assess in the first 24 hours, I should be delivering her in the "big city" about an hour away. The problem I see is winter weather....and the scary side of it if that is when I begin labour and if I can get there in time. It would be safer to be in my own hospital with what is needed than on the highway!!

That specialist would not listen to any of my concerns, told me what she felt I needed to "know" to be "informed" and then waltzed out of the room. Talk about not making it any easier...I at least have a week before my visit with my MD to get a feel on all of this.

The second appt basically stated what I already know....and for the hours of waiting, vs 10 mins being seen made for a less than fruitful visit. But he was nice and considerate....liked his approach! And he did let me know a little more of the long term part of the upper pole in terms of options like surgery vs. monitoring. The best news of the day is that my next scan takes place in the "big" city an hour away at 33 weeks...just as I am on mat. leave! Makes for a much better time than being away from my boys for 5 days at a time.

Now just for a day on the road tomorrow and home to my boys!! I can't wait to snuggle them!!!

Well, I´m back Tried staying away until my scan in 1,25hrs time... it didn´t help.. Have been really out of it lately,especially the last couple of days, being a right terror to DH, who can not do anything about it anyway. Feeling like I´m going in for a death sentence, or being pushed off a boat in the dark of night into the vast ocean... Glad to read you are getting better Rainbow, it will be ok in the end. Otherwise, getting a little bigger, but not much, and feeling regular kicks as long as I take it easy, if I stress around my tummy goes hard and I dont feel anything for days..

Huge congrats to you lucky girls with your girls! So very envious, as you understand, in a good way

Well, here goes nothing!

Thank you all, but to no avail, all blue and me too.. He was beautiful, had DS1´s nose and DS2´s thighs, I love him and am looking forward to seeing him in 4,5 months time. As you know, its complicated and for me a two sided story: I should not have made him, as I do not want anything but a girl, now he is a fact and he is a he, and I do love him. I have two boys and am having a third, it´s not going to be any better or worse than it already is. On the other side, this little man is taking up my last chance with the love of my life. I am young, and fertile and can have more babies with whoever wants to have them with me, but the ship has sailed with DH. Isn´t it terrible to even be thinking of attempting again in 8 years time with another man??? I wished with all my might to experience the absolute lifetime high with my one and only, but it is not going to be.. Am going to find a name this evening for this unlucky little man, poor guy to be born my son, but he is not alone to share that fate..
I do not like any boys names, my two are named after polar explorers, had to have a theme there and am considering William(a bit boring I find), Olav(too viking for my taste) and Bjørn(to massive, means bear..) I love my DH´s name, but don´t want to be using the name of my beloved for being strict and fussing in the future. DH has resigned, is disappointed in me and the vast hopelessness of the situation. We will get over this too, as we have so many other things. I can´t believe I too am going to end up as that lady in the GD forum a grandmother to only my sons children.. Have promised myself to buy a horse for my 40´th birthday in 8 years time, as consolation. A beautiful thoroughbred mare, bay colored and young.
As he lay with his head deep down towards my cervix the sonographer had to push the probe a little hard to get the right measurements, and am feeling sore on the right side of my uterus now.
Thank you for listening
Mathilde

Hugs Mathilde. I am more and more sure this baby is my fourth little boy and while I know I will be ok with that, I sure do ache for a girl. I always thought DH would let me go for a fifth to try and get a girl and I think he would, but also what if I had five boys? I feel I have the patience for five but not sure my hubby does and I don't want us to be a stressed out family.

I'm glad he was gorgeous. I felt very numb with ds3 but there is something very special about him I just can't quite explain. Huge hugs

Hi ladies! Just popping in to say hi!

Mathilde - Replied on the other thread...so sorry you didn't hear pink, but so happy DH is willing to try for another!! I know that it keeps me going, too.

Hope everyone's doing well, nothing new here. Big scan on Wednesday...looking forward to seeing little man.
