Dreaming Pink Due Date Group: TTC and Beyond

[2lovelyboys]

GeCon, hee hee know what you mean, scans have to be obvious for me otherwise I'm clueless!

[GeCon]

I completely understand your reasoning, 2lb. I would like to know for sure as soon as possible too, but as for us there will only be two children, I am now at the point where I am trying to hold out a little longer.... I think.

Thanks 3boys... yes I'm totally shaken in a way I never really have been. I've lost babies, family members, deal with trauma and sadness on a daily basis as a counselor but I've never quite felt this way. I am shaken to the core.

I'm not a religious person but this whole experience has changed me... there must have been a higher power looking over my boys and I that night. It takes something pretty major to change your belief system...

Have responded on FB but just wanted to comment on the above.

It is funny that you say that charlee. I was going to say something like that but was worried it might seem flippant if you were religious. Your DS3 beat the swaying odds and now this. It really does seem like someone up there has a plan for him.

Could you see a colleague at work to talk through this? It is so hard to follow your own advice and it might help to have someone else to tell you what might help.

2lb that is one cute baby - the first 3d one i have seen that doesn't look like melted candle wax! I can make out a face, arms and hands. There does look like a lot going on down there but that could be the legs was the tech sure? Congratulations on a lovely healthy baby either way.

GeCon i am going to wait till i am 20 weeks for my scan as i want it to be definite. We are going to tell the boys about the baby when we know the gender so i dont want any doubt! I cannot believe that DS2 in particular has not noticed as i have a tummy now and we have been swimming everyday. I am still under my pre-sway weight by 6 kilos but it is still fairly obvious boys eh?

2lovely....I don't believe...I am going with swollen girlie bits until proven otherwise for you! It took the tech I saw at 18 weeks just a few mins to find my little guy's testicles, but the weenie escaped detection for almost 45 mins!! It was nice in a way because my official scan I was not allowed to even see the screen, so it gave me a bonding time to see this little one bounce around then. I find 3d shots in terms of gender harder to get, but that top one could give it away....was the tech 100%? Congrats on a sweet little baby either way.....and glad to hear you had some amazing holidays!

Emily...my boys are obsessed by my belly, they do give kisses and raspberries (little lip tooting noises) to the baby and DS2 is more likely to say "put that away" in reference to an exposed belly!! The next couple of weeks are going to fly by soon and you will know if your sway worked

Sunflower....so excited for you still! I want TTCpink and Bunnywabbit to get their bfps too!

AFM....the cold is almost gone, but still lingering. It is only allowed to hang on for 3 more days, I then have almost 2 weeks off work and can't be sick for all the plans then!! The follow-up u/s for his kidney is tomorrow.....it has been on my mind more than I wish to say....please keep us in your thoughts and prayers.

Ladybugs, am thinking of u and your little guy! Such a worrying time! I am sure all will be fine tho! How u feeling about being a boy mum? I'm confused about how I feel, I actually feel fine, we always said we would like 3 or 4 children, this has made my mind up to go for no4 (never mind DH! ) if it had been a girl then I think I may have stopped at 3 but now I find myself second guessing my sway and planning a new sway for the new year! Crazy, it's helping me cope but I'm also wondering if I'm actually thinking/ dealing with the news I've had????
I definitely have my down moments, why me? What went wrong? What should I do differently? What are other people's reactions gonna be? My MIL is gonna b disappointed as DHs family are all boys but I think my SILs will be pleased as they have both wanted girls, think that is gonna make me feel worse!

Emily, forgot to ask earlier how you little fella is? like you life isn't stressful enough at the minute! These things are definitely sent to try us!

GeCon, I know what you mean, wanna hold onto the dream for as long as possible, fingers crossed for a pinkie !

[GeCon]

Ladybugs, lots of thoughts to you and your little bean for tomorrow. Hope all goes well and this will put an end to your worries.

So ladies,

I haven't really looked at the pics or video any more recently as I didn't think there was anything to see and I have the strong boy feeling, but have just looked at it again and am wondering if there may be a gender clue or even a nub in my video. I have put the times in the post.

Have a look and tell me what you think.

2littleboys, am looking at you piccus - so cute! Can see nubs in the first and last ones but not sure what I make of them. Not used to seeing nubs front on Going to look again when I get home.

AFM, feeling pukey today. Have been spotting (as far as I'm concerned anyway, who knows!) since yesterday. Not sure if I want to retest tomorrow or leave it until I'm late. If AF does turn up, I'm really hoping it doesn't mean they're going back to as they were before BCP...

[Charlee]

Wait so Dream and 2LB both are having boys too?? What the heck is going on in our group?!?! LOL

Thanks for all the well wishes... those of you who bare friends with me on FB can see pics of the car I posted yesterday... I won't post them here too as it's just too dramatic. But I can honestly say I'm a different person because of this crash. You know I'm a counselor an I deal with people on a daily basis who have suffered some sort of trauma... yet I had never experienced something truly traumatic apparently because the very things I counsel people on overcoming (signs of trauma) I saw my own little family going through. Very scary and very eye opening for me. Maybe I was being too cynical and callused and life threw a little humility my way? I don't know, but I can honestly say I'm a different person today.
