♥ JULY 2011 TTC Boy Chit Chat Thread ♥

[Kris217]

TTC5 your DH is a total doll for saying that!!

My DH gets excited about me being pg bc my boobs get big, LOL! I'm normally an a-cup and get up to a C, so it's big fun for him .... until I start lactating

haha oh wow an A to a C, I hope that doesn't mean I'll go from a D to double E!

Tink for food recs I ate at least 2 of these a day, packed with sodium/potassium and a decent amount of protein. I loved them! http://www.ballparkfranks.com/franks-turkey-franks

Also dried fruit + nuts is excellent. And beef jerky is another good protein + sodium snack to have with dried fruit. I grew to love v8 hot and spicy, buy the low sodium and just add a ton of salt. Hmmm, oh I ate cereal with whole milk every night, too. And lots of fruits and veg, obvi potato, banana, tomato, but also avocado is great IMO for ttc boy with the fat/potassium. For breakfast I usually ate eggs, bacon, and fruit salad.

So there's some ideas to get you started ...

Last night we were laying in bed and my DH was like, do you think there's any chance this one could be a boy? I felt so sad for him, in a way, because I know he wants a son so badly but doesn't think it is possible for us. He said that's why he wants to wait til delivery too. It's the first time he has admitted all of that. Anyhow, I don't know if I'm just protecting myself or it truly is intuition but my gut tells me it is another girl. That said I was sure DD2 was a boy so I've been wrong before ... here's hoping I'm wrong again, I would love for DH to have a son. And this is for sure our last baby so we're either getting a son now or never.

Aww FX for a little boy!!

Have strong faith begonia, and u will have ur son.

[begonia]

Wow, Kris, you just might ... some women don't change but most of my friends definitely get a big boost during pregnancy! Thanks for the FX! FX we all get sons!

Cemas thank you so much, I really appreciate the encouragement

Just realised there's a July thread already, it's only the 30th June lool.

Begonia, i could have written your post because i think i'm having another girl. Maybe it's my way of preparing myself should that be the case. I went for scan today & was nervous about everything. Suddenly i was kinda regretting for putting myself through the torture of finding out if there's a heartbeat, is it ectopic & then from there it's is baby healthy, is a boy/girl aaargh! Anyway scan went well, i'm 7wks 1day, due 11/2/12

Bec - so glad you're o'ing on your own and getting tons of ewcm, I swear by the fish oil! I still have my bfp from all mine too, my test from dd1 is 10 yrs old and still perfect!

B- thats great dd2 did so well! My girls have always been obsessed with babies, practically smother them lol My three are 2 yrs and 9 mo apart give or take a week. It's a great gap, they are close and play together well but the older is old enough to help. dd3 and this one will be 4 1/2 yrs apart, I hate that they will be so far apart. 3 and 4 were only supposed to be 3 1/2 yrs apart, stupid m/c. I also am on my now or never baby, fx we both have our boys.

ZB - good luck!!

Skrimpy - glad to hear from you and you're doing well!

Kris - fear not the huge boobs, I usually only go up a cup during pregnancy. Nursing is a whole different story, with dd2 I went from a small C to a full F. I used to joke it was f for f*cking huge boobs lol

Baby - So glad your scan went well! I truly envy that you're feeling great but know that I'll be feeling good again soon so gloat away

Seriously spending all day at or on my way to/from school. Took dd1 to school at 8:20, heading back for her awards ceremony @ 10, taking dd2 to school @ 12.30 then back for her awards ceremony @ 1:15. Hoping after that I can come home and take a nap lol
Cold is getting better but still kicking my butt, I simply didn't need more strain on my system.

[babydes56]

Sorry you still feeling that way, when's your scan? I doubt i'll go through this preg without nausea i'm sure it's coming soon so i'm enjoying for now

[babydes56]

Cemas, are you attempting this month. If i'm right you not taking anything to induce ovulation?

[skrimpy]

I agree with Bec and Cheeky - still have the positive HPT's from my kiddos

Bec - it's fantastic that you are o'ing on your own! I bet it is the supps/diet/exercise that's helping.

Cheeky - FX for a BFP happy dance for you soon

Begonia - aww, it's good that your DH was able to say things to you. I truly wish we'd waited until delivery to find out with our newest DD - I had a lot of GD during pg but fell totally in love with her when I pulled her into my arms the first time <3 FX that you have a sweet blue bean in there and that you'll have peace whenever you find out

Kris - I only get a little bit of change during pregnancy... in the early days of nursing I feel like Dolly Parton, but then it seems to even out and I end up pretty much back to where I started (just with milk, lol)... so not everyone gets as much of a boost during pg.

baby - glad to hear your scan went well!

3PNB - beibg back and forth and back and forth is always tough when pg, lol. I hope you get your nap too - and that you're able to kick the cold. Maybe you'll be able to get some rest this weekend.

Baby - first appt is the 14th, I'll be begging for a scan but who knows. I'm hoping after last time they'll humor me

Thanks Skrimpy, I'll get tons of rest this weekend, dh is a pro at this.
