September 2013 babies!!

[Southern Butterfly]

Thank you Diva and Wanting. I really don't post much there and am thinking I'll probably just leave that group. You're right there's no need to surround myself with negativity. I'm in a much better mood already just reading your responses!

I agree totally, the people on IG are not supportive of anyone who is trying to rise above. They are treated like they are liars and it SUCKS. That is actuallly why we made the "rising above" board over there, because there were so many fights about it. It was ridiculous.

The group isn't on IG but I know exactly what you are talking about. I was once accused of being "smug" on the GD board on IG because I was apparently "bragging" about being over my GD. I still am a frequent poster over there but stay away from the GD board

Golly, lots to catch up on overnight!
Thanks for answering honestly about family size. It's been sitting uncomfortably for me that part of my wanting to have a third was to try for a girl, so it's helpful to hear other's perspectives. My two are really close too, which I don't think they would have been if they were a pigeon pair. They are both hoping this one is a boy too, so it's nice to be able to deliver! I know too that when im older, I'll be really glad of having 3, which I might have missed out on otherwise.

Mel, defiinitely a cute bump pic! I'm carrying 'well forward' already too, and have been for a while.

Divakotka, such a lovely compact bump! And aren't you beautiful!!

Nipples have just been normal pregnant sore, but eeek, they've turned into norks already! At this rate I'll have porn star quality cleavage once my milk comes in! I don't remember them getting bigger this early before.

Baby size, mine were both big, ds1 was 8'13, and ds2 was 10 lbs! So yeah I'm nervous about this one continuing he pattern! Earning a place in the Guinness book of records has absolutely no appeal to me!! I was told baby size is more to do with placenta size than anything, though it seems logical that being generally healthy would be a factor, and overall genetics too. I drank lots of raspberry leaf tea both times, which is a uterine tonic, and I've heard it improves placental function and possibly size, so I might lay off it this time round!

House size, we have a 3 bedroom, the boys share, and the bubba will be in with us for the first 9 - 12 months, then go into what is currently the office, but will be a bedroom by then.

Southern, firstly, sorry to hear you've been so sick, I hope it's all just a bad memory very soon! And as for people making such stupid comments, that's really pretty sad. Being over GD is absolutely something you deserve to be proud about, and relieved too, there's nothing smug about it! You've got good reason to be happy for having a boy, I hope you don't let their negative projections of their own feelings change your perspective and bring you down. I appreciate it can be easier said than done, but those people are nothing to you in the end.

WantingAG, your cousin sounds like a right piece of work!

[Wanting-a-girl]

How are you feeling Honey? You doing okay with the news of another boy?

My cousin is a piece of work alright lol... We used to be really close but I can't handle her anymore... A couple months ago after I was maid of honor in her wedding I told her I needed a break from her cause she was too much to handle...I can't stand people that are all about themselves lol and she is just that!

[Honeychild]

I'm faring better than i was expecting actually. Thanks for asking. I was pretty flat on the day, but I'm refocusing on the positives for the most part.

Does your cousin live close by? Is there any to gently ease out of contact with her? It doesn't sound like she's good for you, and that the of friendship is so draining.

[Wanting-a-girl]

She lives about 10 mins away from me... She is far too busy to ever want to come over cause she won't come over if my kids are awake which is odd seeing how she has two kids lol... It's the daily phone call where she wants to gab for an hour about nonsense lol... I usually ignore them she wants to go for coffee next week after super which I'm gonna have to get an escape plan cause I don't want to leave DH with all the kids on a school night and ds2 makes every little task more difficult and honestly DH is incompatent lmao so I don't like to leave him with all unless I have to and coffee def is not a good reason for me

That's good that your doing well... You should do some shopping that always helps

[Honeychild]

Hehehe, I bought some very pretty mat bras on eBay last week, so I'm stalking the postman as it is!

Sounds like an answering machine would be a good investment! I'm impressed your kids will let you talk on the phone that long though - I'm sure mine see me pick up the phone and take it as a signal to start acting up!

[Wanting-a-girl]

Lol I need to order some nursing bras! I gave all mine to my friend and she lives 8 hours away and I feel stupid asking her if she still had them...

I do have an answering machine and I do ignore most calls as I do t have time to ignore my kids all day like she does lmao... Usually it's just ds3 home when I talk on the phone...
