TTC Blue Crew Grads

girlmom--glad to hear your news! Hope that baby stays put!

[begonia]

Yeah, honestly, I love her more and more the older she gets, and the more her personality comes out. She is a handful, but she is so funny and cute, I can't help but adore her. I hope it is the same for you and your DD!

I always wanted boys, too. I never thought I would have girls. I don't know why it works out that way.

Thanks Hobbs My DD2 sounds much like yours ... total animal, but hilarious. LOVE her. I'm sure I'll adore this one too. I think I'm just always going to have this part of me that feels like I'm missing out a bit by not having a DS. I just have to get better about not letting that part of me rob the rest of me of the joy I have in my 3 precious daughters. And for the most part I don't but I definitely have my moments where I still get pouty about it... I had another person IRL announce she's having DS after 2DD and it just brought back way too many emotions, KWIM? But overall I am doing SO much better than I thought I would with all of this. I'd probably be doing even better if DD3 could sleep for more than an hour at a time

Flava how you feeling these days? Thinking about you.

Girlmom - so glad you're home, everything feels so much better in your own space. I too love hugging a little one when times are tough, after my last m/c I cuddled dd3 and cried and cried. She made it all so much better.
Woohoo for 28 wks!! So glad there's no change, I'm hoping you'll hit your dd and maybe even go a little late proving those dr's super wrong lol JK fx for 35 wks!

ZB - so glad you're feeling better, that 24hr m/s is a real bitch.

B - so glad to see you back and so happy! I so hope your gd doesn't return as she gets older, I doubt it will though. The older dd3 got the cuter and funnier she got so I loved her more then more.

WP - damn those pesky blood sugars, fx you can get things straightened out.

MFC - stupid placenta still making trouble, sending healthy vibes your way! Love the pics! Thanks for the birthday wishes and happy belated birthday to DD!
We got a little grief about having 4 until people heard that we were having a boy, now they ant to know if we are going to try for another boy even though no one knows we swayed. Some times people just suck.

Flava - you are so not a bad person, pregnancy can be a real roller coaster.

Elp - omg he's so cute!

5 - oh your poor friend, big hug to you as I'm sure it's hitting you too.

Wow ladies that was a huge catch up, better stay up to date lol I can't believe Charlie is 2 months old already, 2 months with a baby constantly on the boob and waking up all night. Oh I love him though but believe me he won't have a younger sibling lol Sorry to whine it's been a rough day.

Thanks 3p1b - yes it has really upset me

I have my big scan on 11th May ladies!

3P1B: "sometimes people just suck." So true Happy to see you here and thanks for the encouragement re: DD3! I gotta say she is a FUSSBUCKET lately! And won't sleep for more than 45 minutes straight ... and I confess I sometimes look at her and think "this would be SO much more worth it if you were a boy." It's weird because overall I'd say my GD has improved tremendously in that I am happy with my girls, I think if I'd had all boys I would have ended up wishing for a DD, but I definitely still have gender desire. I wish that would go away.

[begonia]

So are you going to find out 5 or wait?!?! FIND OUT. All those nub votes?!?! Sure seems like you're going to hear BOY

[3Pink1Blue]

B - dd3 had severe reflux, she would cry nonstop for hours at a time. I thought the same thing though, better if she was a boy. Terrible what pops into your brain sometimes. This time I'm wishing he was one of my girls, they were great sleepers. He's still waking up 3-4 times a night even though we are co-sleeping and often will only nap on the boob. If he does fall asleep he's a pretty light sleeper so I usually wake him trying to move him. Ugh this little guy has made things difficult almost from the beginning.
I feel the same way, if I had 3 boys I would have swayed for a girl. Damn that GD, you just can't win lol

[begonia]

Thanks for empathizing re: the DD3 thoughts. I think our sways influenced more than gender because it sounds like your DS1 and my DD3 have the same sleep issues! Seriously, it is just like you described. She'll nap after nursing, if I hold her, for hours. But try to lay her down even after letting her get into a good, solid sleep??!? Scream fest. BAH.

I never coslept with the others but am with her because she won't sleep any other way. It's ridiculous. Crazy baby.

Begonia, not sure yet... funny enough I am still not convinced I will hear boy though!
