[TTC5]

Good luck.

Thankyou! I'm so excited =D

ITA with the IB thing, Flava. I'm sure you'll be checking like crazy so KUP, but I bet the bean is getting all cozy in there Don't you worry about those fat pants either ... remember what Jen said, LOL, that she didn't get fat for no reason! FX you have your son in there!

Thanks 5, I think he's a catch! And DD1 is taking karate now too! DD2 so far will sit in his lap and watch sports with him so long as he shares his popcorn I do agree with what Lola said about girls, the great thing is they can do just about anything!

[TTC5]

That they can! And as for the weddings, I told my girls to marry a rich man LOL kidding :P

[begonia]

5 my pics aren't really interesting, I didn't want any gender shots, and she just kept MOVING so much! I'm kind of glad though because if they were really cute I'd have a hard time not showing them off, and since I technically never had the u/s I had today, I need to keep them hidden

My next scan is 10/24 so hopefully I'll get a sweet one then!

LOL! I paid for our wedding! We'll only pay for theirs if it doesn't cramp our retirement, KWIM? If we have the funds absolutely, why not! Same goes for college. But really, the only thing my dad ever did for me was pay for my college and it was a great gift to start my professional life with no student loans. So IF we can we do plan to do that for them, but again, not at the expense of our own retirement. As any financial planner will tell you there are loans available for college, but not for retirement!

I paid for everything myself, college, car, wedding the lot!

Thank you MFC! I won't LEAVE ... I'm like, totally stuck here, especially since all of you are the only ones who know my secret

I posted this on the pg thread too, but am going to share it here since a big reason I'm glad I found out is so I can make sure DH's expectations are good:

Ok ... round 1 of lowering DH's expectations complete, LOL! And as you'll see he really was already pretty low... in a good way given what I know now. He's still at work (going to have to pay for 3 colleges plus weddings, now ) so we were just talking on the phone.
Me: "Ok so I had a dream last night that we had a girl. And she was born, and we had no name. At all. We called her Three."

Him: "I've been telling you for 4 months now it's going to be a girl; we don't make boys. So yes, we should probably pick a name."

Me: "I know. I just kept thinking, since I've had 2 boy dreams (that is true by the way) that we could maybe bypass it this time. But it definitely could be another girl and I guess I need to get ready for that."

Him: "It is what it is, and whoever it is God chose for us, and it's going to be amazing to have it in our arms next year. But you can't rely on Him to pick a name so yeah, you better start thinking about it. And seriously, just go buy something pink and expensive, you know you want to!"

He really is the best. It's a shame he won't have a son but I couldn't ask for a better man to raise my daughters. And yes, I am crying

me too!!
thx for sharing that waslike listening to a cute radio commercial...for....name picking i guess..
love it!

HOLY CRAP, B! I almost went into labor I was laughing so hard. You are awesome and I can't belive you totally made that up. We just called her "3" is genius. You must just be a riot to be around. I see where you #2 gets it from, it's all you baby! DH rocks too!

Begonia - Congratulations on a sweet baby girl! I have 4 girls myself and I love it! I did the secret scan thing too with #4 and never told DH. Just told him that I felt it was another girl.
