Part 7: Due December 2017, Jan Feb & Mar 2018

Ok, I obviously have not done my research, but why is everyone saying this is a once in a lifetime event if it's happening again in several years?
Max - you hanging in there on bedrest? I'd be going crazy!! Were girls ok with missing Disney? Or did they know?
So I'm 15+ weeks and already get sooo full so fast. Is this bc it's my 3rd? Anyone remember this happening faster and faster each pregnancy? It's like I eat a 1/2 sandwich and chips and I'm stuffed but I wanna eat more bc well you know I'm pregnant [emoji23] Also, isn't it crazy that I can go from food being my worst enemy to wanting to eat everything in site?! Pregnancy is so weird and I'm already getting sad this is my last time!!

OMG Ash that traffic jam!! haha bet the people driving down the other side are feeling smug with themselves nothing worse than sitting in traffic.

kat slightly off the topic of your post but its amazing how our normal (non-swaying) eating habits have such a big influence on the genders we have, you sound like your naturally (without swaying) very girl friendly i would never have put my 4 boys down to me picking at food here and there all day because i couldnt stomach big meals.. amazing what swaying teaches you!

to all of you in the US enjoy the eclipse sounds like it will be an amazing thing to watch!!

4b2p - I know!! I don't like feeling full, it's weird but promise I don't have an eating disorder [emoji5] The HE diet was so uncomfortable for me and I was only on it 4 weeks, which longer is recommended. I just had no idea I'd fall pregnant so fast.

no i get it kat i hate feeling full too!! but i fell into the habit of having a couple of mouthfuls here and there throughout the day to avoid having to eat meals in one go, im not a big eater and never was, i also never eat a lot of the HE foods (red meat, nuts, avocado, veg juices etc..) i basically shot myself in the foot by spreading my food intake out over the whole day instead of just putting it into 2 normal size meals, i dont do breakfast, last time i did i was about 8!!

in all honesty i think id really struggle with the diet if i was here swaying blue, i know that must sound daft haha but i cant cope with big portions and alot of what you guys are eating and drinking for best results is stuff id never want to go near :-/

Kat, because where people live they may not get to see a total solar eclipse or close to one. Where Ash and I live, we are fortunate to have another one in 2024 close to where we live. Sadly, after that we won't unless my children move somewhere exotic!

Thank you everyone for all your kind and encouraging messages! It actually made me feel surrounded by love and replaced the loneliness I'm feeling. Your thoughts and prayers made me cry even more, but in a good way. Dealing with all of this feels extremely hard. Loss is so hard for me because we didn’t just "lose a baby" we lost a lifetime. We lost all of the plans, dreams, and hopes we had for this life with this little person. I don’t know how to let myself grieve. I’m scared to be vulnerable and just cry, because I don’t want my kids to see how broken I really am… I cry myself to sleep at night while my kids are peacefully sleeping in their beds. I can’t help but wonder if this was my little girl.. This little girl that never comes..

Can someone tell me how do I move forward without feeling like I'm replacing/forgetting the baby that was never born? When I’m ready to start trying again where do I start? This pregnancy I had zero appetite and lost 15 pounds in these past 3 months. Is all the previous months working up to the original sway lost?

NACIRE I do know ttc as soon as you can after m/c sways girl. But wait until your ready. Just get back into the diet and see where it takes you! I took me 3months after my m/c to get a Bfp again and it was emotionally hard I was angry and I took it out on dh because I didn't get pregnant faster but hindsight my anger was probably preventing the Bfp sooner.

Naci I cried to myself at night after my losses it really helps to just cry. It's part of the healing and you always have us to talk to as well. So many hugs to you! It's very unfair! The pain eases it truly does. I kept myself sain by buying things for my future rainbow baby and focusing on my babies. Also pick up a hobby. You will never replace your baby, but it does actually become easier throughout time. You will always have a hole though, but through time it won't hurt as bad. As of right now it feels that it will never get any better, but it truly does.

Hi ladies! Believe it or not with bedrest I've found things to keep me busy. I picked up a from home consulting job (that I can do from bed woohoo) about 20 hours/ week, which has been awesome. My mom taught me how to knit (I made a little blankie for DD2 that she slept with last night, so cute!), I took my acrylic paints out and started painting again, and I now am an expert on any show on Bravo (for you ladies in the US). Not ideal because I miss normal life and the gym soooo bad, but I guess trying to do the best I can. I started spotting brown over the weekend and it isn't stopped, so I'm back to laying down in my bed or on the sofa, and my parents took the girls for several nights so I'm able to just rest. I go to the OB tomorrow and hoping to see baby.

Nacire, we are all here for you!!! Your words brought tears to my eyes. I can only imagine the lost hopes, etc, but that doesn't mean that you can't (and won't) have that girl... XX told me once that it just takes longer for some babies to come to us (she can word it much more beautifully). You will have your healthy baby! [emoji175]

Catching up on old posts...

Sunbal, hope the tech was wrong and that it's your boy! However glad to hear that baby is healthy.

Bluebooties, about the four kids and feeling bad on missing time with them. As one of four, I definitely had that feeling with my mom (who was super woman and worked full time, baked every meal from scratch, never lost her patience, and was just insanely loving)...but I did and do still feel that the things I missed out with my mom, I also gained from my sisters, and those to me were just as valuable. When my mom couldn't come to a practice, my sisters would and it meant so much to have them there (and sometimes cooler than your mom hehe). Just saying that yes, it's hard as a parent, but they also get so much from their siblings that's also so precious.

4blue, thank you for such kind words about my sway and helping you feel you were doing the right thing for your kids with additional siblings. Wow, so amazing to hear that!!! Thank you! [emoji175]

Kat, I seriously feel like you're my long lost twin. [emoji23] DH and I talked about adopting if we ever want to have another. We actually looked into it this year when it was taking us a while to get pregnant. Such an amazing thing to do!! I'm so excited to hear that you're happy with boy or girl. I've gotten into the same mindset. I've seen DH with little boys lately and it makes my heart melt. So happy either way as long as baby is healthy! And to your comment on being full so quickly, yes!!! Totally me lately and it sucks. I also feel like I'm showing big time and I'm only 8 weeks. [emoji85] I didn't show at all until 6 months with DD1. I'm embarrassed to even take a pic because I have a naturally small frame and I feel huge already!! And the girls didn't know we were going to Disney, so we're keeping that in our back pocket for another time. Well just do beach time together that week. Will be perfect. [emoji4]
