SEPT/OCT/NOV 2014 Roll Call!

[WantingPink]

Oh Kittybear that sounds like no fun. Women who don't have kids by choice often (not always) make those of us who do have kids feel like there is something wrong with us for wanting and having kids. I know lots of women who don't have kids and they always have something negative to say. I definitely wouldn't want one of those women to be my boss. Good Luck!!

I am sure your parents will be happy since you are having a second. Two seems to be the magic number. When you have none people always ask when you are having one, then you have one and people ask if you will have another, then you have two and people ask if you are done

I love the comments others impose! Like it effects them in any negative way!
When we told my father in law he rolled his eyes and said "hope you can afford it" my Aunt said the same thing!

I told my father in law hey don't act like for a minute you aren't going to be pacing outside my hospital door as I'm pushing this one out! He laughed and said true but it took him a day to actually say congrats.

I had the funniest dream last night. I dreamt that my oldest sister gave me a baby present and when I opened it, it was a girlie doll and a pink sweater and I looked up at her and said but I'm probably having a BOY! haha so funny how our minds work!

Told my sister and she is so excited for us! And looking forward to her son having a wee playmate. There'll be 11 months between them. She was surprised I hadn't told her about the loss etc, but I stand by not wanting to have her upset while she was enjoying her newborn son, and I know she gets why I was so secretive! Next hurdle is getting to see an actual baby at 12 weeks! And the worry about baby being healthy! My mum is hopeful for pink. I've tried to tell her there is no chance, don't want her getting her hopes up lol xx

My husband just told his mom and sister and of course they're crossing their fingers it's pink! I wish it didn't matter

We have finally told all our family. Everyone is super excited and the only people who reacted slightly negative was BIL and his wife. They somehow make everything all about them and our nephew. His wife texted me saying "wow just heard some interesting news. Serious or is this an early April fools" then went on to ask if we actually planned it. Ugh. We didn't want to tell them for this reason, but then of course her very last comment to me before she stopped responding was "we always hear everything last".
But everyone else is super happy and excited! They are all supportive but of course all tell me they are praying for pink.

I wish so much every day that gender didn't matter I told my very close friend (more like a sister) yesterday and her comment was 'I hope this one is a girl'. She has 1 of each. Xx

Mlka I exercise my entire pregnancy. I walk, run, swim, workout with trainers, do bar method dvd's. The more I move the better I feel! I also have a physical job and the only way to last working the whole pregnancy is to keep strong.

I've actually lost a couple lbs since becoming pregnant due to working out a lot more. We leave for Hawaii in a few weeks and don't want to look all soft and squishy

There is a great pregnancy dvd I do starting around 4 or 5 months that is Pregnancy bar method. It keeps you strong and fit and is a great workout.

That's great, Tomgirl. I would love to continue working out. I'm nervous about doing anything but walking/ jogging so early but I am going to do some light weights and light cardio while I'm feeling up to it. I'll find a good pregnancy dvd and maybe do some yoga or pilates. I hear those are great during pregnancy. If only I can continue to feel this great for the remainder of the first trimester! I have so much energy, it's weird.

Oh, and have fun in Hawaii, Tomgirl!!!!

I don't exercise during pg either. Wish I could. It makes my MS 10 times worse. Light walking is fine or house work or yard work but if I do a real workout forget it... puking!!

I wouldn't worry too much about having a baby a little later in life. I have been in my 30s with all my kids and so far (fingers crossed) they are all just fine. Being a little older does make me worry a little bit though so I know what you mean.

DH and I were just discussing today when we should tell people. We don't have our first uls till about 9 weeks and we probably won't tell anyone until after the MaterniT21 comes back. So for us it is probably going to be around Mothers Day. Not sure how happy our family is going to be. They were very excited with my DD since this is the only girl in my family and DH family however, both families have made comments about this baby being the last. I would like to think they would be happy but just not sure?? We have the money and we have NEVER asked our parents for a dime but my gut tells me they will think 4 is excessive. I guess we will see. My MIL comes from a family of 4 kids and my Mom and Dad come from a family of 3 kids. Seems like these days though everyone is having 1 or 2.

Anyone else scared to tell family because of the number of kids you have?

WantingPink, Mother's Day would be a great time to tell the family! I think I'll hold off until then myself. I'm not very anxious to tell anyone anyway. I just know they will make comments about it hopefully being a boy this time. My dh's family is worse than mine. They have been hounding me to try again for a son for years now...like it's that easy! DH is the only son so I feel pressure in giving him a son. My family is very girl heavy and so is his. At least I'm fine with having a 3rd daughter.

Coocoo since the minute you said you were pregnant I thought you were carrying a girl. I too wish gender didn't matter. But for many of us it does. I'm really looking forward to your baby's birth. Your gd really got to me with your 3rd ds. Your feelings were so real and I respected that so much!! I hope you're feeling good. And you make some great looking boys!!!
