Jen I'm so happy for you honey. Aaron will love having a brother and this new baby will look up to Aaron with stars in his eyes. There is something about the bond of brothers that is unlike anything else. My husband is the youngest of 3 boys and they are all so close. And all of them ended up having only girls! So maybe as a grandmother you'll only get grand daughters! LOL! We need good men in this world. You and all the other boy mamas on this thread are going to give us a new generation of great men. Congrats sweetie! I'm going to update the front page now
I just slept for 9 hours. Guess all this bed rest is hard work. Either that or I'm just getting more lazy.

Had a horrible 5 mins this morning girls. Went to the toilet and saw a little bit of red blood when I wiped. This is the first sign of any blood this pregnancy and I panicked. I then realised it was probably coming from the other end!! I had found doing a number 2 a bit painful this morning!!!! Thankfully no more since but I have been on knicker watch for most of the day!!!!!

Oh Bumpy that's so scary! Hemmerhoids are common in pregnancy and can flare and get irritated especially if you are constipated or have a hard poo. Definitely keep an eye on it though. I never bled from the other end and the bleeding I did have was unmistakable where it came from. I'm guessing yours came from the back end.

Bumpy- I had that for sure from the back end!
Jen - Congrats!!! Wonderful news.
Ladies I went to a multiple mums sale this morning where over 60 families with multiples sell all their stuff. I got the automatic Medela breast pump that I have had my eye on but was scared of the price tag, a Bumbo (it's blue, I wouldn't have got blue if we bought it new in case we have a girl at some point but the others, all 9 of them were shades of pink and purple! so blue is fine. We are having a boy after all) Plus a garbage bag of clothes. The clothes are in great condition and were all only $1 or $2, plus a great winter coat for this winter for $10.
I spent $173 TOTAL. The pump is almost $300 to buy new. I just have to get the new pipes and stuff for it. I am so excited!
Ladies, if you have any sales close to you check them out. I am not sure if multiple moms is a national organisation in the US, they might have sales in your cities. I would say get there early for the good stuff. We could have got way more but I felt funny about getting some things used. If it couldn't be totally washed I think i want to get it new but they had stroller, baths, carriers, pretty much everything and more clothes is way better condition, and way less expensive than Good Will.
Feeling pumped!

That's awesome Croy! I'm going to google the sale. Tim's cousin's are giving me a breast pump and bumbo. It's blue but I don't care. It's free! Make sure to only have the bumbo on the floor though. I've read some moms put them on a table and the baby rocked and ended up falling off the table! Tim's cousin said it was a godsend to use when she needed to pee or shower.

I love the bumbo, its pretty sticky and e have really deep kitchen counters so I am excited to have him up there right in front of me while I chop and prep. I would never leave him there if I had to walk away but I had the baby I nannied there when I had her at my house and in her Bumbo and it worked great, she loved it and I always wondered if I would get to share that experience with my own baby. Now it looks like I will.
I ust posted a pic of FB of all the clothes, well. most of them. I didn't even go into the room with the girl clothes, but you would have had a blast!
I am lucky to be borrowing a swing and baby rocker chair, and hopefully a jumperoo when I need that, but I love getting deals!!

Mom2- so happy you had a good scan!
Jen- congrats! Aaron will love having a brother and your pics are awesome
Bumpy- that happened to me too, freaked me out and spot checked constantly
Croy- I went to moms of multiples sale today too!!!! Didn't think I would find anything, then bought I would guess over $1200 worth of stuff for $264! Bought I'm guessing about 75 pieces of clothing? Halo sleepers, rec blankets, swaddlers, onesies. Crib sheets, a thing to put in the tub and another that attaches to the side of tub and has a seat for when then are little bigger, a rocking horse and rocking lion, double snap n go. 2 boppys, 2 carriers to strap over chest, a couple decorations for nursery, I'm sure im forgetting stuff....was so awesome!!!! Got priority for being preg and so many other preg girls there, they had almost 29000 items counting each piece. Didn't even look at some of it, got too tired and too much to carry. You girls have to find a sale like that!
Each piece of clothing was $1-2 too, think of how much that stuff is new. Had to be there at 7:15am though, left at 6:45, tired...
Heart- you cervix is going to be nice and long and you will be able to be up and around buying stuff!
dh and my mom are painting now, nursery and the other spare bedroom, wish I could paint but dh doesn't want me to.

Hopeful - so glad you found deals too!! I didn't go in half the rooms, I had full arms and was getting a bit overwhelmed honestly! I wish I had made a better list of things to looks for. It was crazy, but I save $$$$
I am trying to buy the extra pieces for the Medela pump so it's done and crossed off the lsit. That was my fave buy of the day!

They didn't have pumps or baby monitors at my sale and it was in the city community center, 1 huge room that I think is a gym normally. There is another type of sale too. I have it saved as fave on my laptop. I will post about it when I find out what it is.
That pump was a great buy!

Thanks I will check to see if there is one in this area.
I didn't see monitors at our sale either but I would love to find a good one on sale.
I just ordered all the breast pump parts on Amazon.

Damn, that sale is today here too! It's in San Francisco. It's already noon. There's no way I can go. It would be too strenuous a day. Oh well. Good thing Tim is on board to buy things online today. I won't even mention the great sale we're missing.

shoot, I had no idea that it was a national thing. I know in my bag they put an info sheet about the next sale which is in October 13. You might be able to get stuff that you don't need for a new born and certainly clothes for when she is bigger. If the sales are on the same day you could see if the SF one is then too.

Hi Fili,
Welcome back! Glad you had a good time!
I am doing great. I truly believe that the steroids were made all the difference for me this time. Happily growing and getting more and more impatient about meeting this little guy.
How are you? The 2WW can be so tough, I hope you get through it and that there is a beautiful bfp at the end of it. Are you already taking the steriods or will you start with your bfp? I didn't start mine until I got the positive test, but I was testing early so I caught it at 9dpo. Personally I believe that God told me to test early (I am not an early tester) so that I could start taking the meds as early as possible. At 9dpo my hcg was only 6.6!! Crazy but it kept growing into this perfect little guy.
Wishing you every good thing this cycle xx
