Jlm- I call team pink! I've a first and middle name already picked so I'm all set!
Bree- You have so much self control I'm really jealous. Are you guys leaning towards one gender?
I'm really okay with both, but since this one will probably be our last I want to experience one of each. I keep joking I want a girl cause those dishes in the sink won't wash themselves
but I was a horrible child and barely ever did any dishes. My poor mom.

Bre- we will ever team Green too. You'll have to let me know how hard it is.
Chart experts- so my temp rose this morning. But I woke up pretty warm under a blanket. Would this affect it that much? I also took off the blanket laid in bed for a couple minutes until I felt a little chilly and retook my temp. It went down .27. I kept my first temp in the chart. What do you all think? I guess I could just be patient and wait until I take tomorrow's temp. But who's that patient?!? Lol

Mrs- Do you always cover up with the blanket every night? If it's your normal then it's not because of the blanket, but if that's the first night with the blanket then maybe, but you rose pretty high so I really doubt it's the blanket.

Thanks ladies
The watery cm was really short lived so o kinda assumed it was leftover from hubs. (Sorry tmi) other than that had lots of cramps on and off but it's lasted for a couple weeks so I assumed it was just my uterus trying to go back to normal after my mc.

No preference here. We have one of each already and this is our last so I wanted a surprise. It's already hard, I'm just hoping I can make it until the end. A boy would be easier since the boys would be closer in age but I have a feeling we will have a girl. Since day 1 I've felt it was a girl.

It's already hard mrs! Lol I can't imagine how hard it'll be when we have the 20 week ultrasound. I'm worried I'll see something. With DS when he first showed up on the screen I saw his penis and knew it was a boy. I'll have to have them make sure it's not showing first.
My friends first pregnancy they waited until she was born and loved it! It was hard but they stuck through and were happy they did!
Are you temping orally? My last cycle I temped vaginally and my numbers were much more steady. Ignore the second temp, as soon as you wake up your temp will change (up or down) even if you don't take off your blanket. One morning I took my temp 3 times in a row and the second went up, the third went way down! So weird. lol

Ladies, I've this friend of mine who is a single mom and she has a beautiful girl who is about the age of my son, and she started dating this guy and it was good for a while but they broke up and I guess he was telling his friends that when he knew she was a mom he cringed and said that grossed him out!
It got my blood boiling! How could say such an awful thing!? I just can't get it out of my head now especially being on this website and knowing how hard it is and what a miracle it all is! So mad! Just wanna kick him in the crotch!

He sounds immature. I wouldn't take offense if I were her. Sounds like it was a good thing they broke up. She needs a man, not an immature boy who's grossed out by nature. Lol
I've heard a lot of BS lately on my birth club (another site). I can't believe some of the things posted. One girl mentioned her bf says she can only breastfeed for a month and it grosses him out if they do it longer.

When I first met SO, he was like that. It's just immaturity. Some guys, no matter how old, just don't get it. And, honestly, I used to feel that way about dating guys. I was no questions asked, don't care if you are dad of the year not dating a guy with a kid. I was a step kid, and it was apparent to me I was a step kid. Not that my stepdad doesn't treat me well, but just I could see how he treated his bio kids differently. Even his bio kids from his first marriage differently from his bio kids with my mom. But being a teacher really opened up my eyes to how easy it is to love a kid, whether they are yours or not in the biological sense. Glad he is out of her life though. She deserves better.

I have read it does, but honestly when I am desperate and want to keep my temp up for false hope I bundle up. One time I even woke up sweating hahaha. But nope, my temps were never too far off just because I wore sweatpants and a hoodie versus bootie shorts and a tank top or how many blankets I use. But different bodies might react differently.
Sorry for not multi quoting. Head hurts. Off to a meeting. Didn't completely catch up on posts.

3 more days left at work after today.. thank someone!! Supervisor isn't really talking to me all week, so childish. All my work has been given to the girl taking over and I have been enlisted by the warehouse manager to count stock.... ugh.
Honestly years ago when I was trying to get back into the dating world (after previous BF and before I met DH) I had no interest in dating a guy with a kid(s). I had no intention of getting into a love triangle with the mother of the child... Yeah, I had a guy ask me out and then he mentioned "oh and if a woman answers the phone it's my ex, we have a kid together and get along great!" He then told me that she still comes and goes as she pleases so I just
and never called the guy... Thinking back they probably still did 
on occasion

Yeah I stopped seeing a guy that I really liked after I found out his ex girlfriend was pregnant. I just didn't want to deal with drama. And she was drama big time. We are still friends though and he has a daughter with his new wife(not the ex girlfriend) that shares my daughters bday and now they are pregnant with girl twins!
Thank goodness my DH doesn't have any kids with his ex... I just didn't want to deal with it. And in my small town it's pretty rare to meet someone that doesn't already have kids from a previous relationship

I understand not wanting to date a guy with kids, or date a girl with kids, but that the whole thinking it's disgusting to get pregnant and give birth is infuriating. Like seriously grow up, how does he think he came to the world?
Also when guys attack women who breastfeed in public and say it's so gross, we are being viewed as only sexual objects and anything that could mess with their twisted fantasies isn't allowed?
I'm just ranting but it's just upsetting.

It's not just guys, women do it too. I don't even want to get into that subject though because I'll get too upset with these crazy hormones. I'd like the record the reaction of somebody who comes up to me and says something about breastfeeding being gross. I don't put up with the ignorance and they'll get a piece of my mind for sure.

I don't do guys who are not COMPLETELY separate from their kids mom.
SO a year ago never thought to mention that he was still 100% supporting his ex wife...for over a year!!
When I asked if he had even told her we were together he said "no, didn't feel he had to"
I curbed his ass then and there as WTF?!? Do you think the ex wife is gonna take it well that you have a new woman in your life who is gonna cut off her $$ train once we move in together??? Seriously WTF
I did date two men who had very sh**ty exes who had nothing to do with the kids, and that was fine, but I am hesitant to deal with a mom and ex thing

I was watching a video last night of a "sexy" half naked woman and a breastfeeding woman and if they get anything said to them. Obviously the "sexy" woman didn't and the breastfeeding woman did. Of course I was outraged but what surprised me was how mad hubs got! He thought it was absolutely ridiculous and thought the "sexy" girl should be told to cover up.
I should mention only once has hubs ever seen a woman breastfeeding in public with no cover and his face was hilarious. He wasn't upset but shocked that the woman didn't care. which is how I feel too. More power to the women who can do it but I'm wayyyy too shy to without a cover. Haha
