Re: Friend found out gender of her baby four days ago...

[quote user="CJ's Kids"] I'm glad that's all it was.  Gosh, having my sister know would eat me alive - I don't know how she's managing to not yank it out of her!  It sounds to me like she really wants a boy.  You might get to give her that blanket yet. :-) [/quote] Well, even if it's a girl I may still give her the blanket. She told me today she hates pink. Maybe I will take som...

Re: Friend found out gender of her baby four days ago...

I talked to my friend. She thought I was on vacation this week but it's next week.  She doesn't know the gender. THe ultrasound tech told her sister the gender but she wants to wait. I have a feeling she will cave at some point so I will let you all know. I feel better that she wasn't just not telling me because I have boys. I wanted to ask what she was hoping for but figured she wouldn...

Re: My friends had a mother/daughter play date

Oh God I'm sorry. I have two friends that became friends because they had daughters. So I brought them together and now I am left out. ANd no you aren't being irrational. That had to hurt to see them with your cups playing princess tea party. I would have been really sad too. And to post it on facebook knowing you would see it? Does she know of your GD? Rude then. Thing is people don't car...

Re: A doll house ruined my day!

Well, I have a huge dollhouse that I got when I was 11 years old. My dad made if for me . Including the most beautiful detailed furniture. People would collect minitures for me from all around the world when they would go on vacations or business trips. I finally moved it into the way back of storage because I know it will never be passed down. My cousins (they are young girls still) all joke ove...

Re: Holy smoly ! My lips are going to run off my face!

You know, after I wiped most of the goo off , the mild burning is kinda nice. LOL

Holy smoly ! My lips are going to run off my face!

Have you ever tried a lip plumper? I have full lips to begin with but thought I'd try it. My lips are crawling , burning and red. I can't imagine what DH would say if he kissed me. Oh, I think I am drooling now. Going to wash it off. Yikes!

Re: Coping with Husband GD

FIrst off I am sorry that you while being pregnant have to deal with this. HOWEVER, I for one am the person (as everyone on IG knows) that freaks out when something  goes wrong. I say things that I think I mean at the time but in hindsite don't . I have always been dramatic and GD makes me the most dramatic by far. I wanted an abortion with my last baby too. Being that I am habitual miscarr...

Re: what stirrs it up for me

I was just having this conversation with a good friend that I met on IG actually. I have had four misarriages and two live boys. Lots of pregnancy complications . Anyhoo, I am reading this story about a crack addicted mom who had a crack addicted baby girl . It breaks my heart. Why is it so hard for me to have a girl when these other women get them so easily while taking drugs? We were noticing t...

[quote user="urbanwifey"] [quote user="Lokhnes"] and I'm scared he got all the good looks haha [/quote] I worry this too!  I don't know what I'd do on top of being dissapointed about another boy if he turned out to be the 'ugly' one (i'm mostly kidding) [/quote] Please don't flame me for this . I wanted a boy for my first and he was gorgeous , everybody commented on him . I had GD wit...

Re: Friend found out gender of her baby four days ago...

Ok  she left a message on my cell phone. She didn't mention anything about the baby. Didn't sound really happy or really sad , just there. I left a message . I should probably hear tomorrow.

Happy birthday. Sounds like your party was a great time.

Re: Friend found out gender of her baby four days ago...

I am going to call today. My only fear is if she did hear pink maybe I am the last person she wants to talk to. I don't think anything is wrong with the baby. SHe has had the blood work and other ultrasounds and they all came back fine. FUnny thing I have a friend who was two girls. Before I had kids she would say how her sister lucked out with two boys and how unhappy she was having two girls....

Re: Friend found out gender of her baby four days ago...

Ya , I was thinking she isn;t even thinking about me. I hope. We don't talk about gender. SHe knows I was over the moon my first son was a boy. SO it's not like I always wanted a girl. Maybe she didn't find out. I know I have to mentally prepare myself to say the right thing. I really don't want to blow it by letting my GD get out of control. I think she would be sad if it's a girl. I think ...

Friend found out gender of her baby four days ago...

and she hasn't called me. SO is it safe to assume she is having a girl? I think I feel worse that she is afraid to tell me than that I am actually going to have yet another friend that is having a daughter. DO I just look that pathetic having only boys?  I feel ..... I don;t know what I feel . Pathetic , I guess just really pathetic. I think she would have called if it was a boy. I h...

Re: Lovely, I get to face the principal tomorrow...

I think I will be doing the same. My son's teacher does nothing. SHe has a bazzillion  volunteers to do HER job. SHe can't even answer a question I have if I write it on our communication paper in his folder. All she says is that she has a seven year old and a baby and needs help or doesn;t have time for things. THen why are you working??? I just got his reportcard and apparently he is ...

Re: For moms of boys who think their son can't be their best friend...

I totally believe sons can be best friends My cousin just got married and he made a toast to one person. He said it was the one person who he respected more than anyone , his best friend , his hero, his mom. Made me cry for sure.

Re: So done with it!

I'm not suprised she said that, it's so typical. My mom has no GD ,she had the perfect pigeon pair. SHe even says it. My friend is pregnant and her parents had all girls. My mom says "Oh, I bet her mother will never forgive her if she doesn't have that boy" I know my friend feels the presure too. I feel bad for her. GD sucks as it is but pile on pleasing other people and it is overwhelming. Pe...

My boy's heartrate at 13 weeks was 168. My husband's testosterone rate is lowere than average. ALthough still in the normal range. My son was concieved 4 days before O confirmed at a 6 week ultrasound. My days and it's days matched to the day. I had a dream he was a she.

Re: Does Your Single-Gender Family Feel "Incomplete"...?

I don't feel complete. I don't expect I ever will . My son is almost 5 and I still have every single baby thing because I just can't feel finished. I know I am but don't 'feel" it. People say be grateful you have sons. I do. I love them to death. BUt it's like getting your arms cut off and someone saying be happy you have legs.  KWIM?

Re: What would you say?

I think she means that he will be supporting her while she is staying home with the baby for 18 years??? At least that would be my situation if I had another. I would say "I will be raising YOUR child into a healthy wonderful human being that will be the biggest gift ever! I will be cleaning your house , doing your laundry , cooking your meals. Getting up at all hours to comfort all of your ch...

Re: Did you BF your GD baby?

I did breast feed my Gd baby. I felt it was only fair since I did it for the first one. I do not feel it helped or hurt my Gd. It just was. I can't explain it. I guess since I breast fed number one it didn't feel weird doing it for my Gd baby. I never liked breast feeding with either one to be honest. I found it very uncomfortable. SO I don't know what people mean by bonding with the baby . ...

Re: I must be an evil person...

Your totally normal. I have the same thoughts. I have two friends that have infertility problems. I have hauled myself to church to pray for them and I usually don't go. Never for myself anyway. BUt at the same time I would like to pray for them to have a boy only. I don't of course but I want to. LOL One of them is pregnant and found out gender yesterday. I know she isn't calling because she is ...
