I've got my anti-witch spray!

Wishin - If you get a girl this go-round, consider yourself lucky (by my standards)! I had an older brother and he was always there to look out for me, protect me, scare off any guys that were worthless, and happy to hang out with me since all my friends were a good age for him and his friends to date. If I got to select the gender and order of my kids, I would pick boy first, girl second. Of course I didn't get that order but, whatever!

I told DH about a dream I had that we had 3 girls in the future and he said, "the more the better!" He sure doesn't want a boy! lol! Is that weird? I thought all men wanted boys!

I like that too Linz- they will have a nice "dating" pool haha...although 4.5 yrs difference might not be ideal at an early age...arhem middle school and high school!

DH always claimed he wanted all boys but I started picking up on how hed talk about having a girl then i finally got him to admit that he alwasy wanted a girl. its kind of sweet...i think he wants a daddys little girl type of thing going on haha. he insists that if he had a girl he would be in jail because hed kill anyone that went near her...oh boy..

Oh and in response to the ticker question from yesterday or whenever it was, the ticker stops changing fruits on a weekly basis at a certain point, and then stays as one fruit for weeks at a time. It sucks! I feel like I'm not making any progress!!

Papaya - weeks 22 through 24
Eggplant - weeks 25 through 28
Squash - weeks 29 through 32
Honeydew - weeks 33 through 36
Watermelon - weeks 37+

Oh and Brayden is sooooo protective of me. Almost a little too much...he wont even let DH kiss me. DH asked him one time what he would do if someone hurt mommy and he got this crazy look in his eyes and was like "I would get them" it was kind of cute and creepy at the same time. I know he's going to be just as protective over his lil brother or sister.

I have had to be very careful about blaming any of my sickness or pains on being pregnant or the baby because I really feel that he would be mad at the baby for causing me pain.Hes repeatedly told me that once that baby comes out Ill feel better so I try oh so hard to act normal in front of him even though most days I really feel like crap

You are going to be a squash soon!!!!!!!!!

I told DH about a dream I had that we had 3 girls in the future and he said, "the more the better!" He sure doesn't want a boy! lol! Is that weird? I thought all men wanted boys!

Now that we have a girl, my husband wants all girls, too! I think he fears how he'll react to being challenged by a boy (especially teenage years & stuff). I fear, that too. My husband does NOT like to back down. I can just see myself constantly being in the middle of 2 bitchy men. But that said, I think he'll be very happy to have a boy. I just think he thinks girls are easier (boy, is he going to be surprised in about 11 years!! ).

 

[wishnhoping]

bahahahah two bitchy men....btw- it doesnt happen only when they are teenagers. I already have to step between DH and DS...pathetic

Scott thinks that's going to be a problem, too. In the ultrasound room (with the tech and all), his initial (out loud) reaction was, "Oh. I'm going to have to get a bigger gun." I'm quite afraid for any boy Maisie ever brings home.

 

[wishnhoping]

Frankly, I already feel totally sorry for any girl that DS ever brings home...I know no skank or whore will ever be good enough! And yes that is what I will call them

 

[LittleSpy]

I was thinking earlier about how hard that would be for me. Little bitches trying to steal my baby boy.

 

[wishnhoping]

there was this show on called Momma's boys or soemthing and all the mother in laws where crazy because they always got overlly involved in their sonos relationships or the son was so devoted to the mother that the gf always was in second palce...haha i loved that show! ...ok so my son MIGHT have issues thanks to me...

realistically though nothing will make me happier than to marry him off to someone who will love him as much as i do....if that person exists LMAO!

 

[linz143]

OMG you two are terrible!! LOL... You'll only feel that way if they bring home someone that acts or dresses inappropriately. If he brings home a girl who loves him and treats him perfect and asks you all sorts of questions about him as a baby, you'll fawn all over your new "daughter in law." Then 3 months later he'll break up with her because he's not ready for a commitment and you'll be crushed!

I only say this because (for the most part) my brother and I have brought home really wonderful SO's at different points in our lives only to break up with them and literally have our parents grieving for the daughter/son in law that would never be. They are of course thrilled with our current spouses, but my mom is friends with my ex fiance still and his wife. It's a little weird but they got attached and weren't willing to give him up even though I did!

And wishin, just make sure you break him of that momma's boy habit by college since NO girl will want to date a momma's boy!! I did once and I wanted to choke (not really) his mom sometimes.

 

[LittleSpy]

LOL, Cris.

And I know you're right, Linz. As long as they choose a good partner, it will be fine. I hope.

OMG, I've been nearly nausea free for 3 hours and I CAN'T STOP EATING!

I swear I've just eaten at least 30-40 jelly beans. I keep them on my desk for my coworkers and normally I'm not tempted to eat them at all.

 

[wishnhoping]

Buuuuut Linz! I don't waaaant him to date anyone in college!

 

[linz143]

Lol!!

 

[wishnhoping]

In all seriousness I really work with him on two very distinct subjects- how to treat the elderly and how to treat a lady. I am very proud of my lil man who opens doors for ladies and always asks if I need help carrying things even if he can't carry it lol

 

[linz143]

I wish more moms were like that! Parents tried with my brother but my grandma will never let him live downvthe time he stepped in front of his girlfriend while walking through a door and then didn't even holdout open for her... lol. My grandma yelled at him for that one!

 

[giraffes]

Hehe, I have the opposite issue - my MIL has become obsessed with me!! It's sweet, and really I think it's because I'm her only chance of providing grandchildren (BIL and SIL are both gay) but even so, it can be a bit odd! So you never know, you may LOVE your son's partners!!

All good here, apart from some issues with tiredness and food intake. I now never get hungry at all, ever. I think my stomach's been squashed to oblivion, which means I find it hard to eat, which makes me even more tired. So hubby said I had to go and buy lots of high calorie foodstuff, so at least anything I do eat should boost my energy. Having just chowed own on a chocolate mousse I think he may be right

 

[LittleSpy]

giraffes -- I had a similar issue toward the end. I lost several pounds (which was fine because I gained 40 and and had started out overweight to begin with). I went with several very small snack-sized meals to get through. I needed energy because I started forcing myself to walk ike crazy at 39 weeks to try to encourage the baby to come out (totally didn't work ).

IM AN OLIVE!

I have my first official prenatal visit today - so far I have only been seeing the fertility specialist. I dont know if they will be doing much of anything since the other Doctors have sent over all my stuff.

Im 9 weeks today- I dont remember my first pregnancy feeling like it was dragging...lol. Im just so eager to hold this little one in my arms and know that they are safe.

I cant wait to start feeling better so I can finish uncluttering the nursery and start buying stuff! I think DH and I agreed to buy a packet of formula and diapers a month (we buy in bulk) to ease the impact later on. So far we havent done that but I think I will start this month since I got paid 3x

Julie- what time is your appt today?
Hows everyone feeling?
