Cute bean Allblue!

Welcome dreamsister!! I love all of these new ladies joining!! In my last DD group I was apart of the handful that was due last, very different to be apart of the group that's due in the beginning!

So sorry to hear about so much nausea ladies! With DD1 I was worthless... just felt like some hit me with a truck and I was so nauseous! So pink dust all around!!

Sparkles, you're in my thoughts!! I hope bean is sticky just causing a bit of trouble!

I am a US lady and my insurance doesn't allow NIPT testing... My husband is Active Duty Army, so our insurance is a bit different than civilian ladies. I would have to shell out like $690.00 in my area. So, surely out of the question! We have to rely on the good 'ol ultrasound. We have decided... well I have DH has no idea what's going on, haha, that we'll go for a private scan or so because of the uncertainty of my next appt!

I am running a bit warm, my feet and fingers are cold tho. I had some rough morning sickness on Friday morning but it's been smooth sailing since. Minor pregnancy issues here and there but nothing too awful! I thought I was going to have to tell everyone I was pregnant on Friday, tho... I was so green from my crockpot roast leftovers! I am still hungry all of the time, what I want changes every 3 seconds... this weekend I ate a lot of fried eggs, bacon and toast because I was talking about it, lol and it settled well! Thinking of you all!

Also, DH and I did have a heart to heart last night... he was being a bear because the puppy has kept him up (his fault, haha). Anyways, he asked me how I would react to another girl. I explained to him that if bean is another girl I would love her of course, but I will be mourning our son... and that I would need his support, he said he didn't really know how to approach me. (MEN!) I told him, he probably wouldn't have to 'approach me' it would be natural. He seemed to understand, but has his doubts about swaying. He is generally understanding but it's hard for him because he believes it's up to God... which I understand. Gender Disappointment is so hard to explain and deal with!

It is so hard to explain isn't it bre.
People cannot truly 'get it'.
I feel more at peace now, knowing that everything points to my sway having failed, but I struggled last week (thought dreadful thoughts, and hated myself).
It really is like mourning, and letting go of the hope and dream of your desired gender.
But people think "What is wrong with her?! She's pregnant, and thats a blessing"
Doesn't make our feelings any less valid !

How is your DHs reacting to your pregnancies? Is he exited, neutral or worried? My DH is worried. I also worry about how a little new one will affect our family and I worry about what if the child is not healthy. This would really put a pressure on our life. I also worry about not having enough time for my 3 little ones. Maybe my hormones are playing with me. I guess it is normal to worry. But I wish I could just relax, enjoy and have faith that everything will turn out well. Having worries sucks. Anyone also worries too much?

I was going to add, that I also have fears of if the baby isn't healthy ?
Is that with every pregnancy ?

I just found out that a lady on my large family group is having a girl after 4 boys...my immediate heart reaction was jealousy 🙁 I feel like a terrible person....im jealous of a total stranger...im even more convinced that I will be the one with 5 boys.

My husband is generally excited! His grandfather had 7 kids and when we found out about this one he was excited to resemble his grandfather. I do think swaying and GD isn't quite as romantic and he is worried that my dreams of blue will be crushed and how that will affect me.

I react like this EVERY TIME!! I feel awful that I do, but each time someone announces they're having a boy... I'm like... 'seriously?! How did they do that!!' It's great for them but I just get so jealous, why can't I make another boy!?
My best friend had no idea she was pregnant until she was 27WKS!!!!!! It was her 4th baby and she already had GBG and then found out it was a BOY! In addition, she's a vegetarian! I am happy for them but so jealous!
