All of my close friends are in Croatia. Here in the US, I have some people to hang out with... once every few months, basically, or exchange some text messages. I've been here for three years and I'm really on my own. My husband is from here, but most of his friends no longer live in this town, etc. Oh well. It's kind of sad, but I guess I am getting used to it.
Our little one is really more than likely a boy and I really do hope that at this point his little boy parts don't fall off, or something.
I have a 3D/4D scan tomorrow, but it's mostly because we wanted to see his face, not the genitals. I'll have them take a look, though. We wanted a boy, mostly because it's assumed it would be safer in our case (genetic problems, but very complicated and not fully diagnosed). I'd still want our next one to be a girl, but then again, if this one is born with the problems from that spectrum, we likely won't have more kids.
Jaz, I know what you mean about the mattresses. I hate them too!! I dont know of anyplace that sells them not like that. I think the reason is the firmer and less fabric they have on them, the safer they are from SIDS.
But I have to put at least two layers on fabric, thick and very padded, on this plastic, ugh. I hope I figure something out, it really bothers me. :/
