Oh I'm the same mars, every time the kids have acted up in the last few months hubby just looks at me and says "and you seriously want more?" But then I see how upset my daughter gets when yet another of her friends gets a sister and I knew I had to try one last time for her. I'm an only child and I desperately wanted a sister when I was growing up (my mum actually wanted 6 kids but life just didn't go that way for her). So she'll either get her wish or another chance for an awesome sister in law. Hubby was really worried about age gaps too. We had 19mths between 1 &2 which was hell! They were then 6 & 4.5 when #3 came along (3 days after his big sisters b day & over a month early!) And this time will be 9,7.5 &3 when this one joins us. I actually like the bigger gaps more. My daughter was an awesome help at 6yrs with my youngest so she will definitely be mummy #2 this time around at 9. My 7 year old is very introverted and enjoys his own company so he's not fussed either way and my youngest at 3 is at least semi independent and understands how to be helpful.

That's so nice Missy. I'm sure your kids are going love having another sibling. My oldest starts school this year. I think we at both getting on each other's nerves and just want it to start already!!

So my blood test was negative! Maybe too soon?
Thought blood test showed positives sooner... Or it's a chemical?

[Mars]

Negative as in the HCG was too low? How many weeks would you be? Maybe go back in a weeks time and see if it's doubled.

Damn Bre....I don't know how it works with blood tests...Keep my fingers crossed for you!

Mars, i really do hope this is your month! It must be so frustrated TTC 1 year en still hving a BFN. Fx for you.
Having our due date together would be awsome!

Maiden i'll send you a PB
I totally understand you that you can't stand looking at baby pics.

Missy you really made me laugh about your doubs of havinf another baby. I feel exactly the same when my boys are fighting or yelling like crazy. I allways told everyone that i don't want to have more than 2 kids because i have only 2 hands to grab them when they try to run away or don't want to walk on

My boys asked me a couple of days ago if i didn't want to have a baby girl. Or a baby boy, that was ok too. I told them that then they must help me with diapers and stuff and the oldest one was thrilled! So cute He just turned 8 so he will be a big help i guess.

Got a bit of cramping going on on my right side. It's not AF painful just enough to notice. Urgh I am not testing, I am not testing!!!

[MissyMc7]

Bree did they tell you the level or did they just do a qualative yes/no type test? If they just did the yes/no type it will say no unless the level is over 25 but sensitive hpt will pick up levels at 10 so if your levels are between 10-25 that type of blood test will say no but you are pg. If they did a quantative test then it will give them the exact number. So if it shows your number is 20 then they know something is going on but not 'technically' enough to say definitely pregnant yet but in 2 days time it should double and be at least 40. Did any of that make sense? Are they going to repeat the test if still no AF? If you have a repeat test definitely ask for the quantative test!
Fingers crossed for you that you are just in that 10-25 stage xxxxx

Dutchgirl yep totally thought I was done at two for awhile (and noone could understand why we would want more when we had one of each gender) but tried for a sister for my daughter and got ds 2. Definitely thought I was done then but he is so amazing and makes me want more lol. I've asked my daughter soo many times if she would want us to have another baby even if it turns out to be a boy, she still says yes but gets annoyed that I keep saying it could be a boy. We are going to shock a lot of people when we announce this pregnancy and even more so when they find out it was planned!

[Dutchgirl]

Here as well! Nobody expect us to have another one! The boys are 8 and nearly 6.

I'm a bit scared of reactions of people like, o you're going to be so busy, how will you cope? (I work for a boss and have my onw comagny).
And i'm also a bit afraid of people who will say that this time it must be a girl. Or look at me with pity when it will be a boy again.
People in the Netherlands can be very direct unfortunately...

I hate those comments Everyone keeps telling me to try for a girl or am I going to have another, you know a girl? Then I have some friends who keep saying "why do you want another, don't have anymore. Just stick with two".
