Spring 2013 Due Date TTC Girl

Omg I have felt so lazy the past couple days! I have no energy and am only getting up to eat. Then today I felt nauseous for awhile so I didn't eat then was starving and shaky like I had low blood sugar. I just can't seem to get enough sleep or food lol. Anyone else feel like this? I wonder why this pregnancy is affecting me more and sooner than my others, its either cause I am older or maybe its a girl so its different (I can hope!). This is probably the millionth time I said it but its gonna be a long 9 months :)

TTC-Julia:

 Sorry for the double post, but: I told my DHs family today and my MIL said "don't be too excited you can still lose it!" I was soooo mad!!!!!!! Am I too sensitive here or what??? Is that something you say to somebody that just told you that she's pregnant and VERY HAPPY about it?!?!?! She's over 20 years older than me and then she also said for women "our" age three kids is too much, after I told her this is going to be our last. SHE can't even have babies anymore! "Women our age" ..... She didn't congratulate me at all!!!!

 

OMG what a b*@#%!!!!! Who says that? Thats extremely inconsiderate and rude, sounds like shes trying to belittle you. Is she the type you always has something neg to say or that shes always trying to one-up you? Thats so terrible. What did your DH say about her saying that? You are not overreacting, thats a horrible thing to say!!

 

Kats- It would be sooo wild if you were having twins!!! :) Will you be getting an early U/S?

Julia- That sounds just like my MIL :P....she's the queen of rude/inappropriate things to say....what $%#%# is right. Sorry she said that to you! ARG!!!

LTB that would be so exciting if it was twins! Not sure if I could handle twins though but it would be neat esp if they were girls :) Yes I am getting a U/S in a couple weeks :) Julia that is horrible what your MIL said! She is supposed to offer encouragement. Well my mom wasn't that thrilled to find out we were pg and I knew she wouldn't be cause she thinks 3 boys is plenty. And she is already worried about all the things that can happen to older mothers. But she would never say anything hurtful like that my mom is just a worrier. I feel the exact same way as you that I want to take a pg test everyday just to make sure. I am having occasional nausea, heartburn and dizziness and my bbs are huge and sore but I am still paranoid about losing the baby or not having a heartbeat or something. I have never been worried like this with any of my pregnancies, it's probably cause of all the swaying and ttc (never have before) and it's my last baby I have a lot invested kwim? Glad to see some of you from the ttc thread once you are pg you can join us and we will make the thread March/April due date or something lol :)

Oh I'm so glad you are sharing my point of view! I was starting to doubt myself. I didn't tell my DH. Her and me were alone when she said it. I'm not even going to tell anybody else besides my mom. I'm sooo happy I have her (my mom). She is more excited and happy than I am, which is hard . I'll just try to delete my MIL's comment out of my memory in order not to stress out over it.

Kat - TWINS???? Did I miss something here? Why do you think you're having twins? Did the OB say something like this? I can't wait for my belly to grow a little bit (of course no too much) and then the baby to start moving so I know I'm pregnant! If I could just skip the MS and the last month, which is soooo hard. Last time I had to sleep in a recliner because it was so uncomfortable in the bed and my legs fell asleep within minutes. Are you taking tests every day? Oh my bbs are growing too, I can feel it already.

Yeah we want more BFPs!!!! Come on girls get them going! Test, test, test......

I will gladly join you ladies in teh March due date!!! Pink dust to us alllll!!! Even though I TOTALLY messed up my sway I am banking on 50/50 odds of boy vs girl :)

Julia, there is no indication I am having twins, LTB just mentioned it cause I said I was having more symptoms sooner than with my others. Twins don't even run in my family so I am not counting on it but it would be kind of neat :) Ruffles I don't think I had a great sway either and my MIL said she had a dream the baby was a boy (thanks MIL). I am betting it will probably be a boy and will be pleasantly surprised if its a girl. We tried right? If its a boy its meant to be and I will keep telling myself that as I am crying through my last 5 months :)

 Kats-- aww, u had a great sway! and got your BFP early!! I bet its a girl!!!

What's wrong with our MILs??? I liked mine a lot, but then I started noticing that she seemed to be acting (literally) nice. She's sort of nice and then on a regular basis mean. I really don't know what to think of her! The good thing about her is she's not interfering with our life, which I would not tolerate, ut this way at least I don't have to fight it.

I thought about that gender wish a lot and here's my conclusion (in case anybody is interested ): we want a girl, but you know when sometimes you want something that is maybe not even good for you and you just don't know yet? You're trying and trying so hard to get that and when you get it you notice that it's not good for you or when you don't get it you notice maybe even a years later that you were LUCKY that your wish did NOT come true because then this or that would have or not happened. I hope you understand what I'm trying to say here, when I read it again I'm not sure it's understandable!!! Sometimes it just seems better to put our fate in God's hands and he will pick what's best for us, because he knows everything that we might not know YET!!!! Later when we get to that point we'll agree with HIM! One of my best friends was telling me that several times and I did notice many, many times it was right for me - to just let go and try not to control everything!

 Julia-i totally know what your saying and understand and agree with you. Whats meant to be will be. It helps our mental health regarding GD if we sway then we can say we tried everything we could to get our girls.  

 Sorry to hear about unsupportive MIL's :(  I was worried about my mom a little bit since she really thinks that I have my hands full with the 3 boys.  However, I know she's a worrier too and I think it's more that than really disapproval of having more kids.  She's the only one other than my DH and kids who know.  She's loved being involved in my pregnancies and there for the births of my babies, so I think she'll get more excited about this one too.

 My MS has been a little better for the last few days as I've been really picky about choosing foods that actually sound good to eat.  A lot of things just seem gross to me right now.  Still tired, a little clumsy, very vivid dreams at night.  A week and a half until my 8 week appt and ultrasound :)  We're taking the kids to Disneyland for 3 days this weekend (my mom's coming too), so I'm really hoping that my nausea stays under control.  We're planning to go pretty slow, between my mom and my little guy, so I hope I won't be exhausted the whole time.

 Jedie-- wow have fun at disney! Will you be checking out the Ramzi theory with your early u/s?

Jedidiah have fun in Disneyland! How exciting for you guys! I was actually scared to tell my mom and I waited awhile to tell her. I didn't want her to worry you know? She thinks I have my hands full now and always says she doesn't know how I handle 3 boys. Plus she is worried about me getting another boy cause she knows how much I want a girl. Sounds like our moms are very similar! We have only told a handful of people, I am waiting until my U/S next week.

I couldn't resist anymore I just did another test.  I'm still pregnant!!!!
