LittleSpy I agree with Steph....

I personally want a boy but I'm gonna be just as excited if LO is a girl.... Honestly it will be better if I had a girl because I will have everything I need clothes included since my bff just had a little girl & is giving me all her stuff once we find out what I'm having. I really want a boy because I have raised them & they are what I know & I'm familiar with... Stupid really, I know but I just love boys. I'm such a tomboy & I have just never been into the girly stuff. But boy stuff.... I got that!!! lol

dont take it personally littlespy, in general girls are more common, that could be why. In my sons play group last year there were 3 girls to every boy and in his class here are only a few boys. When I was pregnant with my son I prayed hard for a boy because I already had a girl and it would be nice to have one of each but of course really it does not matter as long as a baby is healthy. If you are happy to be having another girl then just let their words wash over you. It honestly doesn't matter how they feel about it. I'm swaying more towards wanting a girl this time. Not that I don't love my son because I do or because boys are worse than girls because they are not and visa versa but because that is just my preference. Each to their own and all that. Like I hate it when I tell people I'm hoping for another girl and they say.. well girls are easier than boys.. NO THEY ARE NOT!! girls are better in some ways but boys are better than girls in other ways. Each gender has their own challenges and advantages and each child is unique too. I think some people are just preset to have a certain response out of politeness. :/

That's the thing ukgirl... He has the kids from 1-1:30 pm on Sunday until Thursday am when they go to school then he has them every third Wednesday night. Their Mom has them every Thursday - Sunday at 1-1:30 and every Wednesday except the 3rd Wednesday of the month. So he has EVERY weekend off from them... He can text me when he has the kiddos but not when he doesn't.... Which honestly makes me feel like he's seeing someone since he's all chatty while the kids are there but ignores me all weekend when he's "alone"....

Sorry Maybesoon I didnt get chance to reply earlier, I was elbow deep in pumpkin after I wrote my last post to you lol

Its weird that he doesn't text you when he is alone, but I'm thinking that what we have heard of him lately he sounds like a typical mind fucker upper, maybe he knows you know he is alone and he wants you to wonder what he is upto and who he is with so he doesn't reply on purpose, maybe you should reply to his text with.. oh sorry I was out with friends last night when my battery died and I only just saw your messages.... play him at his own game, he has no one, he has kids and on the weekend I bet he's drinking his weight in beer and playing on his computer games xx

Great idea!!! I will probably do that in the am since I'm going trick or treating tonight with my bff & her 3 girls!!!

Mommabrown congrats on Emmaleigh's great scan pics!!

Littlespy, some people are idiots. Why would anyone assume you are disappointed with either gender?! Insanity!

I've always imagined ill have a boy, but since the start I have thought baby is a girl and now I am so excited about that!!! We'll find out on the day I suppose!!

 

[Mommabrown]

MommaBrown -- Were you hoping for another girl? I can't remember. I see your daughter is the oldest and you've had two boys since then.

I was thinking we would have had another boy but really did want a GIRL!!!

 

[nimbec]

Welcome melon!

Yay maybesoon fx for you!!

 

[ukgirl23]

congrats on being a sweet potato nimbec! xx

 

[nimbec]

Ooooh my post only just appeared ...a delay on b&b I wrote it 30mmins ago lol

Sorry everyone else I was not ignoring you!

 

[doggylover]

Arrrrggghhhh!!!!!! Now I know I mentioned a few weeks ago the friend I have who is also pregnant and I text her asking how she was etc, and she didn't ask me at all. She had her 12 week scan yesterday and I thought it would be too rude not to text her about it, even though I am really trying to stay away from her.

I'm sorry I bothered now. Again after 5 texts each way she didn't ask a single thing about me. And I don't even mean about my pregnancy, she didn't even ask how I am in general. I just can't believe that she could be so selfish I am not best pleased with her at the minute,but I am still going through the motions of being a good friend. She is giving me no reason to bother.

 

[ukgirl23]

doggylover, that's awful!! I really can not stand people who ignore people like that. If I were you I wouldn't bother, or text and say I'm fine by the way! like you're joking or like, everything is good with my pregnancy thanks for asking lol.. you shouldn't have to hint that she's being one sided though. xx

 

[Mommabrown]

Awh i think that was rude of her doggylover. Maybe its a good thing you are staying away from her.

I have two boys right together and am very thankful so i would not worry about having two girls. I am happy no matter what just as long as baby is healthy!

 

[Steph82]

doggylover, I'm with UKgirl... call her out on it lol. Whats the worst that can happen? She wont talk to you anymore lol??

 

[kirstabelle]

Hey Ladies! Welcome new ladies and congrats to the new members of Team Pink!! Nimbec, my scan is only a week away now and I am so sure I will be joining team blue! My husband is the first of three boys, and in his extended family his cousins have had 10 babies between them and only one is a girl. I think my boy odds are pretty good ... and even if it seems like it might be time for a girl another of his cousins is pg at the moment and recently announced she is having a girl, so we're probably back to boys now

LittleSpy, people are ridiculous. I hate when people try to spoil other people's good time. It is going to be so lovely having two girls close in age, adorable sisters!

My baby movements are just like others are describing. Tiny jabs and mini punches, no flutters over here! And when I described them to my midwife last week she agreed that was the baby Cannot wait for my scan. It is like an eternity!! Hurry, hurry!!

I also had a weird scary dream the other night. I had a dream I was drinking wine, and it was so real I could smell and taste it. I drank one glass and then halfway through the second I remembered that I was pregnant and I got so panicked and upset that I had "forgotten" that I was pregnant and drank wine that it actually woke me up! Really weird. I was so relieved that it was a dream. Stupidest "nightmare" ever.

Welcome Melon!!

Congrats Mommabrown on the little lady!! Team pink is really dominating this thread so far! I've got... oh 5 weeks or so till my gender scan still.

I hope everyone had a lovely Halloween! We posted our FB announcement today, and so far everyone has been wonderfully supportive. One of my cousins even sent me a PM to ask if I'd like her to set aside the gender neutral baby clothing she has. It's so freeing to not have to keep it a secret anymore!!

I spent my evening carving pumpkins and playing a board game with DH and a friend of ours, so it's been a nice relaxing day. Back to teaching tomorrow though! Thankfully it's only been once this week due to the bad weather from Sandy. I can't wait for this semester to be over and this teaching gig to be finished. It's slowly killing me I think.

Very sorry , she sounds quite self centered and rude. It is common courtesy to show interest to the other person, pregnant or not. Big changes like marriage , pregnancy etc really make people show their true self.
Many that I know of suddenly feel a superiority and act this way too. This is why I don't have gazzilion of friends anymore. I have very few good caring friends.
Don't bother with her anymore

 

[doggylover]

Thanks ladies for your support. I wasn't sure if it was just me being all pregnancy crazy! I don't think I can even be bothered with the drama of calling her out on it. Just leave her to get on with it in her own little self centred bubble. Lily, I'm afraid that she thinks I have become very superior, but the only reason i say things like "oh my appointment was that long too first time" isn't because I am trying to show off etc, its simply to try and remind her that I actually exist

Kristabelle your baby sounds like a very active one! Mini punches imagine what it will be like in a few weeks time! You'll be being beaten up every day!!

Readytomum carving pumpkins sounds like fun! And I'm glad your fb announcement went well.

 

[doggylover]

Oh and we are now at 6 girls and just nimbec and her boy! At least he will have plenty of ladies to choose from in the future!

Maybesoon, kristabelle, lets get this score evened up a little!!!

 

[nimbec]

Doggylover you are most definately not being silly she is being totally RUDE!!! If you remember I said a while ago I had a similar issue well I stopped contacting her and she has made zero effort so that's that!! Will be a bit odd when we meet due to oh's socialising but I will certainly not make an effort anymore. People can be very selfish!!!

I'm feeling regular kicks now and almost like a swimming feeling I'm sure he's doing somersaults in there hehe!! Well I'm off to teach in the rain today and have had to wear oh's waterproofs as cant get in mine AT ALL lol

 

[doggylover]

Nimbec I think I will do the same as you. Again it will be awkward as we are part of a rout of friends, but once baby is here its not like ill be spending huge amounts of time with them all in a group anyway. Thanks and 'enjoy' the rain. The weather is so manly at the minute!! Enjoy the getting warm and dry bit afterwards at least!!
