October 2013 babies!

[True Blue]

I feel the same motherofboys just waiting for comfirmation that this little one is a girl so we can pick names, shop and look forward. There seems to be baby boys being born all around me and apart from the very odd pang I feel fine
I feel pretty certain once I know I am going to be fine

I know exactly how you feel navywife. Some days it gets so crazy but I think its those "Awe" moments that keeps me going. I love when its the whole fam together. If you do have another boy, you will adapt. Boys are ddef. will wild and crazy, but ya gotta love em! They make me laugh so hard sometimes! And like people always say to me when Im stressed, "cherish these moments now because your gonna miss it when theyre older!" he he Hang in there it will get easier!

Theres a lady at school who has 2 boys and recently had a baby girl. I kept avoiding walking out the gates after her (I don't talk to her anyway, her son bullied my son for quite a long time and the school did nothing until my younger son started at the school and stepped in!) but I just couldn't be behind her. I could see into the pram and this tiny pink bundle and I kept thinking I'll never have that.
Yesterday it was unavoidable, I was walking up to collect them and she was in front of me talking to a friend about the baby and obviously saying "she and her" and I though "I'm never going to refer to my bump as she, I'm never going to say I'm going to change HER" But I actually felt ok.

When I decided to have another baby it was because I wanted a baby, of course I liked the idea of a girl, but if I couldn't have faced another boy I wouldn't have tried again. I think I lost sight of that recently, mainly having such different symptoms got my hopes up (on that note has anyone got super super dark nipples I swear mine have never been this dark, but could that be because I only quite breastfeeding 5 days before I got my BFP?) and I had a feeling in the very beginning that it was a girl.
Like Katie I had this image in my head of my baby girl, all my boys are blonde and each one has slightly curlier hair than the last so I could see a little curly haired girl with big blue or green eyes like my boys.
When I had my 12 week scan and saw guess after guess of 'Boy' it hit me hard. ELP explained to me in great detail why it looked like a boy and I can see all the things she said. I've 'nubsessed' but I've managed to control that.

I love that I can be honest here and I know I make a lot of long posts but I really feel I can pour out all my thoughts and feelings that I can't talk to anyone else about.

Has anyone got any names? I'm having a hard time with no input from DH. I have a few names I like but some don't sound right with the middle names or last name, others seem to be growing in popularity which I try to avoid, others I feel don't fit with my other boys. My favourite atm is Seth, but I'm not sure if thats a bit 'old man' or maybe because our girl name is Beth and thats about as close as I'm going to get to using it LOL

[Nachelle]

Awe I love Seth! We picked out Lucas and the middle name either Abraham or Jackson. We have always picked a couple names out then name them at birth. Im very indecisive! But if its a girl (which I doubt) then Ella Rose. Im actually getting excited about a little boy! Weird! But I think I might like the idea of 4 boys. Even number no more 2 on one lol

[motherofboys]

Haha its my younger two sticking together most of the time so will be interesting to see if my eldest and the baby form a team or if it forces the older two and younger two to pair off.
Its not really felt that real until now, but I think now I have a bump rather than bloat and I'm starting to thin it wont be long until I feel proper kicks as I felt them around 16/17 weeks with my others, and things like that it seems more real and I'm becoming more excited for a baby, which ever gender.

I hope I do end up falling back again.

Having a tough day today. Gosh I've had such a good streak lately but am so down today. My husband swears there is a chance it is a girl...says he's seeing and hearing "signs" everywhere that say girl. Why in the world would the tech give me a 12 week potty shot if she swore she couldn't tell? One so obvious, too? I feel like this was ruined so early for me and it's making me bitter. I feel like I never got the chance to bond w the idea of a "baby" in general...instead I feel like I have been unable to be one bit excited after seeing the penis staring back at me so early. Just crying and needed to stop and vent somewhere.

I'm feeling very calm the past few days, I think maybe after being so certain since my 12 weeks scan that I have mostly dealt with the feelings of not getting a girl. Its not having anther boy thats the 'problem' because I love boys and am happy to have boys, it would just have been nice to get a girl in the mix somewhere.
I feel like I'm just waiting for confirmation so I can get on with getting ready for my boy and have DH finally discuss names with me after his been so certain its a girl he wont talk about boy names.
I may feel differently once I know for sure and then see others announcing girls but I hope that I don't feel as bad as I did after my 12 week scan.

I feel exactly the same, even though my potty shot was upside down + I know it's not reliable in that position but having seen a dangly bit that early (13 weeks) has somewhat prepared me to hear those 3 words again on Wednesday! I spent ages obsessing over everyones pics on here + mine after the scan but now im relatively calm + know whats coming, no doubt i'll still feel crap afterwards tho! As for names I've made a list of boys names already it's one of the things that has really helped me over the last couple of weeks + have also found all of DS3's newborn clothes. I have also got someone who I do not want to be announcing 'im having another boy' to - my next door neighbours.....they don't look after the 3 boys they've got- they are just left to roam the streets + annoy random neighbours! , they have no manners, the list is endless + guess what - yes she is having a girl very soon! Lucky we are also moving - think i'll wait till then to announce it to anyone!
Hope everyone who isn't getting their DG are ok + i'm sure i'll be joining in with you with my rants later on in the week , I remember so well finding out DS3 was a boy + completely broke down in the U/s room in front of the tech (who looked at me like I was bonkers)I was so frustrated at me, my hubby + everyone who was having girls who in my opinion didn't deserve it as much as me, I felt my heart snap when the tech told me, I felt sick to my stomach +empty + only when you've felt that pain can you pass a judgement/opinion on having GD, we're all happy + lucky to have healthy babies but those few weeks are always the hardest after finding out the gender + I sure as hell don't appreciate hearing/reading things like ' at least the babys healthy or gender doesn't matter etc etc, we all know we're extremely Lucky ladies either way :-) .
I've read all the posts from the last week or so + always try to keep updated with you all , good Luck to everyone having their scans this week. xx

[motherofboys]

Just realised my other post should say "I hope I don't fall back" as in don't go back to the sadness of GD.

Good Luck for wednesday, pinkprincess.
Lld my husband keeps going on about a girl, I'm so sure its not from my nub shot.

I've not made a list of boy names because I can hardly think of any I like. I've been looking for a couple of years now. If I could bounce ideas off DH then it'd be much easier LOL

Have my scan on Wednesday, anyone else with gender scans this week I'm very nervous, only 3 days left!!! Don't know if I want the tech to say straight out to us, I have said to DH we will get it wrote on a piece of paper, but he just says get it over and done with. He really doesn't understand.
