I usually don't call her anything. I suppose her first name (Karen) if I need to get her attention or something.... or "your mom" if I'm talking to my husband. Now, I'm generally around her with the babies so I call her Grandma.

My husband and I actually only wanted two children, but I still want a daughter (and so does he, although he isn't as forthcoming about it). Anyway, he can't deal with my GD during pregnancy again (and neither can I), so no way to more children conceived naturally.
He does, however, think we should do IVF/PGD... would your husband be open to a girl guarantee pregnancy (assuming there aren't...

Well, I think the swaying information may have mattered to them, and all the other parenting and time-wasting sections of in-gender are good for all mamas. [:-)] And then you make friends and want to offer support to those you've connected with when they have problems, like in the GD section, which I think is really great! [Y]
But the people who have never had a brush with ...

I got a Mirena last Thursday... when they do it pretty quickly post-partum, there is very little cramping, etc. It felt weird for the first day, and now I don't even feel it at all. It's good for 5 years, and I am told that there is a 90% chance that you will not have a period until you take it out! Woo-hoo!!!
Paraguard uses copper instead of hormones and is good for 1...

I have an appointment with my shrink tomorrow. I'm having such bad anxiety about having to talk about this aloud again, I really want to call and cancel. Someone talk me out of it... or tell me it's ok to take this week off.[:(]

Oh my goodness, well that's not as helpful as it could have been...I hope the negative is correct... pins and needles until Thursday!

So, I haven't "risen above," but I'm trying... and I figure a lot of the people who read this section of IG are looking for hope or something more than happy, light tales of falling in love with sweet babies.
I'm one of the extreme GD cases. Extreme extreme. I loathed the idea of boys. I thought seriously about abortion and adoption. I don't care that they are me...

I would pronounce it Lie-elle -- not sure of a "pretty" spelling to ensure it would be pronounced Lee-elle.I think Elise is a really great name. And I agree with girls2mama -- it goes well with your boys' names.

We have pretty good health insurance. Our max deductible for the year per person is $5,000 (plus insurance premiums, $25 co-pays per office visit, $10 per prescription) -- and with hyperemesis, I had incurred my $5,000 long ago this year. So, birth (and anything else this year) is all free... woo-hoo, come on car accident!!!Without insurance, we would have been majorly screwed. W...

Go and take a pregnancy test. If you get pregnant with an IUD, I think it's something like a 50-50 chance that it will be ectopic. Not a good thing to just wait and see...

We wanted to name our daughter Eleanor and we'd call her Ella or Ellie... But, I just feel so much sadness not having her, that if I ever did have a daughter, I don't think I'd be able to use it.I was considering Helen if our #2 had been a girl... my husband and I both have great-grandmothers named Helen. I already was feeling sad about Eleanor then too, I guess. Of course, in th...

Did you see on the other thread what Rainne found about the author? What a horrible "journalist"...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruth_Shalit

Pretty shallow analysis. I don't think she told us that she was going to portray it in such a negative manner... not that I'm surprised. [N]

Well, I think there are a few things...(1) IG is a distorted population -- many of the women here who want daughters actually wanted a boy first or more, but after having one or two (or five) they want the opportunity to raise a girl, thus leaving the impression that they just want a daughter now. I also think women are perhaps more inclined to want daughters, and since there aren't ma...

Oh my God -- the same thing happened to us last month! I had a placental abruption and the baby swallowed and breathed in a lot of blood and ended up with pneumonia and in the NICU too -- because of the emergency c-section, I didn't see him until the next day, and couldn't hold him until the tube in his belly was out much later...
I am so sorry that you are going throug...

I had a placental abruption with my new guy and ended up with a c-section and a baby in the NICU (everything is ok now, though). Anyway, no personal stories about a second abruption, but I looked it up and the Mayo Clinic says the risk increases to 15% or more after it's happened to you once (http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/placental-abruption/DS00623/DSECTION=risk-facto...
