Dreaming Pink Due Date Group: TTC and Beyond #2

[thehappypixi]

Getting lots of kicks now, proper little wiggler I put my scan date back because of funeral on Tuesday as it was meant to be Wednesday, so will be Friday. Thinking I will ask for a potty shot to take away, and then I have the option to find out before the birth. (I know I can look at work, but if I do I have to finish my shift knowing and I think I'd rather be alone when/if I find out).

Still feeling numb. Hard watching the world carry on as normal when it feels like everything should stop :/

Happypixi - I am so sorry about your grandma. Praying for you and your family! BIG hugs. That's a great idea about gender...that way you have the option right at your fingertips!

Ladybugs - What a sweet thing to say...I hope you're right! I have so much respect for my grandpa...would be thrilled for DS4 to be like him. Hope you're well!

Sorry for the lack of personals...hope everyone is well!

20-wk appt. yesterday...all is well. Starting to get comments from random people now, guess it's obvious I'm preggo. Most comments have been nice or neutral, but I got a truly negative one yesterday...Had all 3 boys with me to pick up DS2 from preschool. DS3 was wanting to run around the school and didn't want to leave, so unfortunately, I had to pick him up literally kicking and screaming when leaving. One mom (who of course has her perfect little girl and boy) looks at me with a look of disgust on her face and says, "OMG, and you're pregnant with your fourth! Are you just going to assume it's another boy??" I told her it was another boy and that yes, it was going to be crazy. Nothing else was said. Grrr. That kind of comment is exactly what I was dreading about being pg with boy#4...it just brings back all my negative feelings. I still just can't believe we haven't had at least one girl out of four. Ugh, I just don't understand. One day I will, I'm sure, and will be glad for it. I really do trust God's plan, but it's still painful. Still holding out for a girl next time, assuming we do it again. I really go back and forth about it, but at the moment feel like we almost HAVE to...feel like God said it, and now He's gotta do it! Exciting on one hand, so scary on the other. Fortunately, that's a ways away, so I don't need to stress over it now!

My grandpa is still hanging on, but he is in hospice care, and not at all expected to recover. So it's just a waiting game at this point...I did get a chance to say goodbye, which I am so grateful for.

Myrainbowgirl - she said that in front of your boys? Nice! Just proves that girls can easily grow up to be bitches! Maybe that is why God is blessing you with boys

Myrainbowgirl.....I meant what I said....and I know that in my DS2 I have been blessed over and over by those special moments.

AFM...We are getting closer to being done this shed/shop for now, one last hurrah I hope before it is too cold to work on it This means that after work, I combine dinner production with climbing up scaffolding, getting boys to bed with helping the hubby outdoors...and just wishing it was mat. leave already. Next Wed. we all have our renal scans to see if the condition only affects the baby, or if it is somewhere else along the line as well. They will also do the follow-up for baby then too...making it easier not to have to go into the neighboring city on the last couple weeks of work for that scan!!

Hi Ladies,

I just wanted to stop by and say hi since it has been so long since I have been around. I ended up having another m/c in July at about 10 weeks, and it was just too hard for me to be here for a while. I've been doing a lot of healing, both physically and emotionally in the past few months and am now gearing up for future attempts. We plan on going HT this time as I don't feel like I have the stamina to do LE again. We're planning our first cycle attempt with Dr. Potter in January. I'm on a very low carb diet at the moment which is a bit difficult, but nowhere near as tough as LE (for me anyway).

Anyway, its nice to see that so many of you are doing well!

I am so sorry for your loss.....however, it is good to hear that your hubby is on board for HT. You only have 3 months of low carbing it and then onto the journey of a lifetime!!! How exciting!!

Had a bath this morning and had a small amount of white liquid come from my left breast, which I've never had happen before apart from 2009 when I have my first unconfirmed m/c. I told myself it was hormones - NOTHING more. But caved and tested - POAS (regular, non-frer) and nothing came up, but got called away and left the test. I remembered an hour later and went to bin it - there's a shadow of a line there. I know the test is invalid after 10 minutes so really not taking it for granted (not that I was anyway - no symptoms whatsoever) and am only on 10DPO, so WHYYYY did I have to fold and do the test after I said not until I'm late? Going to TRY and not test until Thursday earliest. We'll go from there...

Bunnywabbit....I was almost out the door this am, but I wanted to let you know I saw your post. I am so wishing and hoping this is your cycle with your sticky little bean....stalking away!!!

Not to get your hopes up... But it was a delayed line showing up on a early test I took when ttc that told me ds2 was on the way... :-) Fingers crossed for you!
