UK SMOG Wannabes - March

[maybebabythree]

Chocolate - I feel like that when I go on IG so I mostly avoid it! Dont feel like that here as my time here has been pg knowing its a boy.

Deaks CVS is when they take blood from the cord via a big nasty needle. I had a higher downs risk with Dave and would be 40 IF I did have another (hormones say YES! YES! head, dh, health all say no, but hormones say SHUT UP, DO IT!! lol!) also bonus it they give you the sex as its a genetic test. So even less time to wonder

Hi all,

We got back late last night and ive been itching to get on here and see your girls Inglewood! and OMG, they are just gorge!!! such perfect little princesses, im sooo envious ;-) Havent had chance to read all your posts yet but i will do today!

Love to all you yummy mummy's x x

Hi all,

Pinga, glad you had a lovely time away. Its always nice when friends or family who have girls just act the same towards them as if they were boys. The whole princess treatment really does my head in and although i hate pink and princess stuff, it just makes it all the more noticeable what i miss out on. Anyway posted on a-gender last night. Tanya gave girl guess from the one photo i put up without the 'boy like' protrusion. Now i have managed to put up the other two photos im sure she will change her mind! Anyway, got another scan on tues as was told that if all ok at nuchal scan that i had to come off the progesterone crinone cold turkey! They just want to check all is ok a week on from having stopped it. Nervous that i will get a glimpse of nub!

Maybe, ah thanks for that. I wasnt sure. Yes sounds like a good plan and sounds like you will go for a fourth! Its hard isnt it. I dont especially want 4 but it feels like 4 attempts at a girl will kinda seal the deal as to whether it it is ever going to happen. 3 just doesnt feel final enough in a way, despite the huge financial sacrifice etc. Does anyone else feel like this?

chocolate, i totally understand how you feel. Logging on brings it all back but at the same time it helps that we are all in the same boat (well most of us). You cant win. We are here for you as and when you want us even if its only occasionally.

petal, hope all is well with your handsome little man/men!

Hi everyone else!

[maybebabythree]

Deaks I would have a fourth if it was 100% gauranteed a dd as I think three seems like a nice balance right now. But a dd might convince me to add another to the brood. The more you have the more the cost but just think we would all be living the high life if we had no kids! When we had dave registered the registra said 'oh you almost had your life back' as the boys are four and eight. But I don't want my life back! Working 9-5 for five days a week in a job I only do for the money. I think I'm more forfulled with the mess, poop, pee, sick, Lego and constant star wars than at my career any day. The boys tell me they love me for a start. If money was no object then another boy or two then ivf would be nice. If I had a live in nanny to clear up the Lego!

Maybe, i defo would have another if i could guarentee a girl, i think we should save up and go to cyprus together haha.

How are the girls Inglewood? i would soo love having twins, girls of course and dressing them in matching outfits :-).

Aww deaks, your little baby is a cutie already, just for the record i had all girl guesses for ds3 so people can definatly get it wrong, hang in there hun and wait until 16 weeks. Glad you had a fab holiday, sounds awsome! we had a great time in Ibiza, im suffering the holiday blues at the mo :-(

Babymad, you're definatly not alone when it comes to arguing with your dh, we argue too, i dont feel i can talk to my dh as much as before as i dont want him to think im disappointd with our ds's, when that soo isnt the case, i just feel its easier sometimes to keep my gd feelings to myself. After seeing inglewoods girls i keep dreaming of a 4th, they are truly lovely :-).

2monkeyboys, glad your dh has changed his behaviour, sometimes it takes a bloody good row to make them realise what good wifes/girlriends they have!!!

Charlie, hope you are ok, thinking of you too!

Hi and hugs to you all x x

[Inglewood]

Hi all,

Hope ur all well?

Just a quickie! All well here, getting used to the sleep deprivation (I think) lol and they have some nights better than others. So glad I chose to bottle feed, NO WAY could I personally BF twins. Dh loves them so much and said he would of hated to of missed out on helping with them. He's smitten after years of never being fussed for a girl he's def in love, as he always is with our babies, but the twins are super! Double fun.

They feed 2oz milk every 3hrs and don't feed at the same time (mostly) which is ok now, but soon I hope they feed together so I can get out better. My eye infection still bothering me, so went to gp and got diff eye drops. Even tho I've been OCD with my wound I have an infection, so got antibotics for that due to this and babies still have cords on, the MW coming back monday. They were weighed yest now 5bs 7 and 5lbs 9. From 5lbs 14 and half oz and 6 lbs half oz.

My mum had the boys overnight, so decided to brave a trip out and went out to tesco today, meant to be for a 'few' things and ended up £80 and then we fancied a Mcd's taking in turns to eat and feed the twins, ended up a disaster and I burst into tears moments before I went to docs.. about NOTHING!! just cried...oh the hormones....been like that since my milk came in. And the attention they got, got stopped so many times and asked about them!! Better get used to that!

So much for a quickie!! lol Wish I had time to read all your posts properly, hate missing out but promise uwill have my attention soon. xx

[Inglewood]

Deaks, ur fb scan pic looks girly to me! I'm not a great guesser, but skull looks like the girls! look at my photobucket album to see x

[indigoviolet]

Hello all, we are away on hols at the moment and will be away until middle of next week so havnt been on at all, trying to keep up with posts though. we are having a good time out here in the sun (spain) and my mum is giving us lots of lie ins as she gets up with the boys. its my birthday today so off out with dh for a nice meal hope you are all going well, miss you all, lots of love xxxxxxx

[deaks66]

Happy birthday indigo!!! lovely to be away for it and get some lie ins and meals out!

Inglewood, glad things well at your end. Your twins are super gorge though i ban myself from looking at their photos TOO much!! ha ha! Thanks for your girly uplift! DS3's skull kinda similar to my boys but just a tiny bit more upright at the forhead but hardly. I have to say i dont put much weight on skull guesses and what really annoys me is that many people seem to pass on the wrong info (or perhaps im just totally wrong?!!). The orginial info on skulls states that females go upright at the forehead and male ones curve right back. Most people seem to be saying the opposite to the original info that was posted. Anyway, glad thats off my chest!! But please someone tell me if i have that totally wrong!!! Ha ha!

Where oh where is littlemiss?????

[chocolate]

Deaks, I didnt realise that about the skull guesses, I thought this one was shaped more like a girl but was wrong.

I had the scan and def. all boy, dont feel much different though in emotions, have dealt with the gd now I think. I got some nice comments, but a few '3 boys, your mad' and that was from a mum of 2 girls, smug bitch pmsl! I know what they mean though as would think the same in their shoes, my mum said 'glad all is healthy and boys are not so bad ........ kinda annoyed me a bit but I know she said in a way to acknowledge she knows Im a bit disappointed. The worst was my OH's nan 'oh what a shame' but quickly followed by 'never mind, he'll be welcomed'.
I think I announced something like 'phew scan today and all is healthy and is my 3rd boy Ive always thought Id have' and mainly got congratulations really, nothing relating to a girl but most know me too well lol.

Anyway, thats my update, hope everyone here finds happiness and contentness wether that is a boy/girl/just appreciating and being happy with what they have. We will have a 4th but from now on class myself as never having a daughter, pgd ivf is off after thinking about all that money and using it for our current children etc. and Im fine with that decision, nice dream while it lasted.
Still have moments, OH had a strop about not buying something he wanted 'I never get anything' to which I said 'your having a strop over having to wait 3months for something, I will NEVER get a daughter, ever ever ever' and this shut him up :-) GD has some little advantages lol.

Anyway just wanted to update you all and wish you all luck xx
