srg glad you are up and about that sounds like a big procedure you went through! hope your as comfortable as you can be

dancing so close!! and fingers crossed the dreams do mean boy for you

i got my newborn stuff washed and put away yesterday its so cute i never thought id like gender neutral stuff but i love it it really feels like a change from all the pink or all the blue and its nice to still have "firsts" with this baby, first team green, first one to be in neutral clothes etc adds to the excitement

Srg- cute baby girl! And love the name Charlotte Elizabeth!☺

[LMSM]

OMG will I ever catch up on reading you all?? Lol

In no particular order:

Dancing – so exciting to be so close to meeting bub, can’t believe how fast your pregnancy has gone! And woohoo for 13 months off – that is the best
Hope the next few weeks go as smoothly as possible for you! We need a belly pic from you

Won’t be long for 4b2p either – or Ash – gosh so many little babies to arrive so soon …so excitiiiiiing!

SRG – omg Charlotte is just adorable!!! Hope you made it home?
What a trooper you both are for bouncing back so quickly – can’t wait to hear more and more pics… and hear how her big sisters took to her arrival!

XXfor hubby – Olivian is a cutie pie – love her outfits, and chubby cheeks – she is just edible! (and am sure she is smooched all day long by all family members hehe)

Blue – hope work goes ok for you, it is long days you work and assume you are mostly on your feet too – I know it’s easier said than done but if you have any family nearby, seriously take up any offer for help so you can rest just a tad!

TTCblue – no news – I hope all is well for you and Oliver as think you were due to get the results from you testing -

Mommy2apples – how is everything going? When is your next appointment? Has the bump started to show itself?

Kat – ah that feeling of “being done” or not – I think getting any permanent thing done is likely best to hold off from if you are not 200% sure – if hubby is not fully closed to the idea, adopting a boy could indeed also be a wonderful way of completing your family!!
I wonder if I ever will feel complete as such – I guess, you know when you know and if you are asking yourself the question you likely aren’t…. if money wasn’t an issue, I think I could totally have way more kids (DH, not so much unless we had like a live-in maid/sitter haha), a bit addicted to the thrill of finding out you’re pregnant, carrying a treasure and the newborn stages that fly by way too fast… and this is regardless of having physically challenging pregnancies (a bit masochist, really when you think that I “like” to self-inflict that with my weird, sore body lol).

PBN – you’ll be in countdown very very soon too – just over a month to go now – how crazy is that?? it’s funny how “vibes” act up with regards to gender, eh? If we ever have a 4th, I think I will go team green – it sounds so wonderful an experience
Did the playroom get its finishing touches?

4b2p – little newborn clothes is so tiny and precious, I find it amazing to think that they ever were that tiny – the excitement sure builds once you get to that stage
Your older kids haven’t clued in on the impending arrival, have they?

Iwant4 – how are you going? I can’t remember if you already had a name for your little girl?

Max – glad to hear from you – woohoo for the new house, so exciting!!! If you can afford having two places at the same time, definitely sounds like the best option for you to wait until the summer to move, so it is smoother, less rushed/stressful for everybody – having a new baby will be enough of an adventure to keep you busy before worrying about moving

Sky – hope you’ve recovered from your cold – no fun at all especially when pregnant – hope that is the last bit of illness you see for a long, long time!
Is your daughter excited about the arrival of her brother?

That’s about as much as my foggy brain can remember right now! lol

AFM – we booked flights on Friday to go back to France for a month in June. Oh my gosh, so expensive when your kids are paying almost full fare! (baby will only pay about $100 but can’t book her yet) needless to say the CC was maxed out – but looking forward to have the family meet our newest addition and have the grandparents see all our tribe (my husband even has his maternal grand parents left – may be the last chance to see them – they are in they mid-late 80’s now). The idea of flight 27+ hours with 3 young kids freaks me out slightly (oh the jetlag on the way back especially!) but I know it will be worth it – so many memories to share for them! It’ll have bene 2 years by then that my husband’s mum & hubby /sister & cousins have seen our kids so it’ll be nice to catch up! In the interim, we’ll live erm, frugally..pasta pasta and more pasta? lol
24 weeks today – I think that means I am starting my 6th month? Eeeek – time is going to fly by ….
Murphy’s law, hubby is away on work down in Sydney since yesterday arvo, and I have started developing a sore throat etc – praying it doesn’t develop to a full blown illness (edit, shivering at my desk now – yay!) – though I barely slept last night between that and the sciatica/symphosis (those two like to play up at the same time) . Fortunately the girls slept through without waking me up more though my utero daughter thought it was hilarious to kick up a storm each time I moved in bed lol
Discussed my leave with my boss – will likely start the week of the 5th of March – I have a feeling this young lady might arrive a bit early so hope that will give me a few days to switch off the work mode, and rest /next a bit I cannot wait to start on her nursery – like CAN.NOT.WAIT lol and to organise the older girls to make their room(s) as cosy and girly as possible…might as well embrace the girliness, eh? Lol


Will post a pic on FB – also, need your advice on names lol
xx

[Pbn3]

Lmsm you are an amazing poster!!!! I cant believe how well you remember everything going on and can respond so well all on one post!!

Cant wait to see/hear what you have planned for dd's rooms (including inutero one [emoji6]) and discuss names [emoji3] Really hope you aren't getting sick and a good sleep tonight fixes everything! (If only)

Wow a 27+ hour flight [emoji50][emoji50][emoji50] I couldn't even imagine. But as you said totally worth it for the memories and photo ops you'll have while you're there! !

Lmsm yes its an up an about kind of a job making rounds up and down stairs if the elevator isn't close and then the office chairs don't help any either with their weird backs [emoji17]

Looks like we r in the same boat. We also booked flights last month for June for a 24 + hour flight to visit the extended family. It will be 4 kids including an infant and a toddler ! And talk about expensive !!

I had another one of my mini scary dreams the other night. Heard someone saying the baby is paralyzed waist down. Again it felt as if they were talking about my baby. I just want this to be over with now its dragging on for so long ! 7 more weeks to go unless they induce earlier than 39 weeks.

Ttcblue thinking of you. Hope u heard good reassuring news about baby's health.

I know, so crazy – we can share war stories after – IF we survive to tell the tale lol… the two eldest pay almost full fare as they are over two – I’m actually not worried toooo much about #3 as she will be so little – just use the carrier and the boob will likely sort out most things lol (I did the trip alone with DD1 when she was 7 weeks old so have tried with a tiny infant and they can’t wriggle/crawl/run away – at least ) and my eldest will be almost 5 and content to watch some kiddie movies (only time where she will get free reign to binge watch anything – yep, whatever it takes to get us there lol) ..it’s my toddler that I worry the most about – she is not one that sits quietly, and definitely – at this stage at least – will not watch a movie to keep her entertained to buy us a bit of quiet (dare I say I am thinking what drugs can we get?? Lol) - might deal with DD1 and 3 and let hubs deal with DD2 lol

Oh those nightmares – they’re the worst hope you can be freed of them asap, and just enjoy a healthy bundle in your arms!! You sure must be keeping fit with all those ups and downs - sigh – exhausting too – the end is nearing, look at that way – and hang in there – until then, vent away here!

[LMSM]

PBN – I think I forgot about ½ of the stuff I read over the WE haha
It’s a wonder I remember my own name some days (baby brain has worsened, but never really disappeared after DD1 anyways lol)…
I will post on FB tonight once I can get them to bed re name & co ^^

[4blue2pink]

LMSM i am always shocked by how tiny they are when they are born!! you would think by now id be used to it but you really do forget just how small they are
ive bin sneaking bits into the house (like nappies etc) when the kids are in bed and setting them up in one of their bedrooms with a film on the laptop when the midwife comes to see me so they still dont know!!

yes yes yes to girly bedrooms have you got any names for baby girl yet? i cant remember if you said you had.

and how amazing your trip to france will be but i dont envy you on that flight!!
