Cycle 1 day 1. Who's with me? *update* It's a girl! Congrats baby_bray!!!

[moter98]

haha! your son is hilarious mail. must be so fun listening to what he comes up with everyday.

 

[mailcmm]

Oh it is and he never shuts up. I am lucky with that one. Always happy.

 

[moter98]

That's great! So do you think boys are easier than girls? Would really like to know since I'm gonna have two of them!!

 

[Twinkie210]

Mail- your son sounds so much like mine! He would watch infomercial too! One day he told me that I needed Proactive to get rid of all my "Acme" LOL, funny thing is I have never had Acne! He was also so facinated by the pancake puff pan (or whatever it was called) that my Mom got it for me for Christmas from my son! I still have it and yes I have made pancake puff for breakfast It is actually a nice pan and is made out of cast iron, heavy as hell, LOL.

I think boys are easier at certain times, obviously I have never raised a girl, but from what I can tell during grade school age they are way easier! Far less drama.

 

[moter98]

Hahaha! Can't wait to see what my ds comes up with.

 

[mailcmm]

I am so glad I am having another boy. I can't imagine what it would be like to have another girl. Ds is so easy going. Dd is hell on legs. Lol I love her to pieces but she is so high maintenance. And whiny and depressed and angry. We are only at 10 can't wait for the teen years. Lol Georgia draught my ass she has cried several rivers this year. Lol

 

[moter98]

Hahaha mail. Sounds like you have your hands full. I remember being a kid. It was pretty tough at times and I was one of those crying a river dramatic girls. My poor mother haha!

 

[mailcmm]

Yeah I am sure this is life's way of kicking me in the ass for being such a handful.

 

[moter98]

Haha! I have always wanted a daughter for that special mother daughter bond thing. Go shopping together, lunches, just girl talk. Guess im just gonna have to drag one of my boys along lol! Or start to love sports.......

 

[mailcmm]

My boy has had to go shopping with me a few times when he was home sick. Had a blast. Even now I get him the baby buggy for rent at the mall. He can't sit in it so he hangs his legs over the front. He brings a video game for while I shop and we have lunch and might catch a movie. Dd won't come unless we are going for her. She whines while I shop so we don't do it much so I only take her if it's something I plan to keep her entertained. Tomorrow will be one of those days. Should be fun.

 

[moter98]

Well, sounds like my dreams of having a girl
Might work better with my boys anyway!

 

[mailcmm]

They are just easier. I am sure when she gets older it will be different. How are you feeling today?

 

[moter98]

Fine today. Been hanging out on the couch for a few hours with ds today. Needed a break from laying in bed for the last week and half.

 

[mailcmm]

I would think you would be fine on the couch. I can't lay in my bed all day either. When I was on bedrest I would prop on the couch during the day and head to bed after super. I am so glad that this seems to be getting better for you. Keep resting and I can't wait for your scan.

 

[moter98]

Yeah I think I'll spend more time on the couch now. Ds seems to be understanding a little more that he has to be more careful around me.

 

[mailcmm]

I give you credit. It's gonna be hard these next couple of months but hang in there. I am lucky mine can help a lot. He is a great little boy.

 

[moter98]

I know. Poor ds. I won't be able to do much with him for awhile. And I can't workout for months! This is really hard for me, I love to workout. And it's how I planned to help with the weight gain. I have a feeling I may gain a lot this pregnancy.

 

[Twinkie210]

Moter- I wouldn't worry about gaining a ton of weight, I think eating right and genetics play a huge roll in how much you gain and exercise is just a small part I was worried the couple weeks I spent at home that I would gain a ton of weight! The first week I gained nothing and the second week I gained like 2lbs, yet when I went to disney I gained 12 lbs in 4 weeks and I did a ton of walking! I have gained over 40lbs by now, but I think most of it will come off in the first 6 weeks (or I am hoping so ). That is how I was with DS. I gained 39lbs and actually weighed less at my 6 week follow up than when I got pregnant!

I think I am just programmed to have big babies and gain a ton of weight

Thanks Twinkie. I worry because I gained 42 lbs with ds and I was working out even while I was in labor with him! It took me 6 months to get it all off. Hopefully the scan we'd will show the tear has healed and I can at least be up and about. That should help with some of the gain. An I'm making sure to eat a balanced diet. I suppose that's all I can do.

 

[Twinkie210]

I think you will find out you won't gain as much as you though on bedrest I eat way worse when I am at work and up and mobile and can get to the bad stuff. At home I am forced to eat what we have, which was a lot of sandwiches and easily prepared things. My one downfall the past couple weeks have been all the fast food we have ate!
