Ash if you're feeling sick tomorrow just cancel on the cookout! Your dh friends will understand. It's awful you're still so unwell and hope one of those suggestions they gave you helps xxoo Bring on anti nausea medication otherwise!!

Mumof4monkeys - Congrats! Where you swaying boy or girl? I can't remember!

Yay Lola for test results soon!

Blue - I'm jealous of no symptoms but I know it can be scary! Maybe this is making you realize you do want this 4th baby and maybe even get excited?!

I wish I could cancel but they've already rescheduled for us once and I feel bad. I'm trying to look at the bright side hopefully it'll make the evening fly by so I'll be one day closer to finding out what baby cakes is!

Ash-great news!!! I can't wait for Saturday!!! Sorry you're feeling so bad-I'd totally cancel, but like you said maybe it'll make time fly!!
Pbn-the specialist said calendar days, so that's counting weekend days too!!!! I could know as soon as soon as Tues eeeeek!!!!! It's going to be so hard to concentrate next week knowing I can find out any day by a simple phone call! Crazy!!!!

Calendar days 😀😀😀 omg Lola!! And yep you are totally going to be a space cadet for the next week 😂 how do you feel about finding out from one second to the next??!! I'd need it written on a bit of folded paper so I could start to open then close it a hundred times then eventually get it open enough to see what it says through my squinted eyes and half looking away head 😂😂😂

Lola - wonderful you are in the countdown now! Can't wait to hear!

Ash - so sorry you are so sick. I am still taking 1/2-1 Unisom a night. I tried to not take one the other night and woke up 3am sick as could be. So I am still taking it. Ugh. I feel for you.

MO4M - Sorry to hear that it was confirmed blue - but so happy that you have a healthy little boy on board! I know what it is like expecting boy #5. It can be overwhelming at times.

AFM - still the same, sick most mornings and just chugging along. We are having issues with our 6 yo. He is acting out like crazy. He has started throwing hour long temper tantrums in daycare and throwing shoes and today upended a table. I am at a loss of what to do with him. Any suggestions? Also, at home, the play room has a TV and we have instructed that certain shows are off limits. Well, every time we leave the room he turns on these off limits shows. So I took away the TV. He hooked it back up and started watching again. What should we be doing? It is getting so frustrating. Especially since the younger ones are being punished too because of the older one.

Pbn-it's such a weird feeling knowing that just a simple phone call will give me results & no turning back after that! Ignorance is bliss sometimes. I've been playing the scenarios over in my head thinking of my different reactions. Having it written on paper to look when I want is more ideal, BUT I don't want to be in suspense any longer, so I'm just going to let him tell me how it is!! Hearing all of the statistics for my age was unsettling, so praying for healthy first, then channeling all of the girlie pink vibes!!! The genetic specialist was very friendly & he made a statement that prompted me to talk about gender and I *may or may not* have told him that I swayed for this baby [emoji12] I never discuss it with anyone & especially not medical professionals, but we had an interesting convo about it! I'm pretty sure he thought I was nuts lol & he thinks it's all baloney, but he said at least I gave it my best shot. He told me that his sister has a body builder husband & have 3 girls, really wanted that boy! I told him that I believe it would have helped more if she was the body builder and a number of other factors in combination. I'm hoping that I'll prove it's not baloney & he can learn something new [emoji12]🤞🏻[emoji1374]

Shann-sorry you still aren't feeling well!! I barely know what to do with my 2 & 3 year old tantrums, so I am no help with a 6yr old tantrum! I would say, consistency is important & a lot of children are motivated more by rewards than punishment. He is old enough to understand rewards for good behavior & consequences for not behaving. If he has a good day for a full week, then maybe he could get a prize at the end of the week-something he really wants like a toy or going to the waterpark, out for ice cream etc. If a full week is too long of a stretch, maybe he needs a tangible reward each day he is good at daycare, maybe a sticker on a chart, then prize after 5 stickers at the end of the week. Just a thought, but I know that could be a challenge when you have 3 other kids in the picture who are behaving & I'm sure want rewards too...maybe it could be the whole family goes out for ice cream or the whole family goes to the water park etc as a reward. Ok, think I'm rambling lol sorry!!
