How did your growth scan go? My scan went well as far as I know. Got to see baby with a heart rate of 174 and the NT measurement was 1.5. Tech said that is good. Was so fun to finally get to see baby! She even gave me a DVD of pictures as a keepsake. I got the Verifi blood test that is 99% accurate for Downs and Trisomy's and she said it will take about 7 days for results. I also get to find out the gender with this test, isn't that crazy?! I will know pink or blue at just 13 weeks. I asked at the scan if she could tell gender, I said I thought I saw boy bits, but she wouldn't even look, she just said it was too soon to tell and that the baby wasn't in a good position. Maybe it was just the cord I was seeing, I don't know, she went too fast!

Oh, just saw this post. Yes, that is very good weights just for a singleton pregnancy. Way to go momma!
How did the scan go tina?
YAY for the twins doing well!! Did you get a pic? I will upload some new pics of Alex tonight. Cant believe our babies are past one
Im head down and feeling a lot of painful BH. Still not sure if my waters are going but scan in two weeks
I dont know. Pinky and I fell out last year but did make back up again. However when I found out I was pregnant again I got the silent treatment and after eight months almost now of feeling like it was a taboo never to be asked about situation I dropped the contact again. Life has been hectic anyway here but I still triedEither way, the fact i have never been asked how the pregnancy has been going hurt a bit so I think its better this way.
Not sure about Faythe...hope she comes back! x
I saw the pics of Alex's birthday, oh my he has grown and what a cutie pie. Time just goes by in the blink of an eye. Painful BH? Hope they don't last too long, they can be a pain. Come one waters, hold on just a bit longer.
I was going to ask you about Pinky. We're friends on fb and keep in touch every now and then, just to say hi, how are you. I was wondering if I should pm her the news before we make our announcement. Now it seems I have my answer. I think that it's not that she isn't happy for you Sarah, I think that it is very hard for her not getting the bfp. Remember how hard it was for all of us? I can't even imagine the heartache of never getting the bfp at all. I totally understand your point as well that it hurts when it seems a friend doesn't even care how you are getting on.

I understand Sarah. Really hope your waters are at a good level in a few weeks! I'm having very strong braxton hicks! Have heard they are stronger with the second.
Tina I can't believe you will find out the sex at 13 weeks! So so excited!
Yes the midwife said my babies are good weights even for singletons so that's good. Only thing is I'm 30 weeks and already carrying over 7lbs of baby!plus two placentas and extra fluid and im so so tired! I feel like I'm 42 weeks!!
It's so hard trying to look after bjorn too! Anyway just having a moan but I am happy if that makes sense? X

Oh that's right, you've got two placentas to carry too, eek! Well, you can do this rooster. The last weeks are always really tough, but we manage to get through them somehow. You are having strong bh too huh? I don't remember if I did or not. It's funny how quickly you can forget.

Yes and I am in full on planning mode! We plan on moving Kash in with Aden and getting them bunk beds. Now I am wondering should I redecorate the babies room with a new theme or just leave it as is? Seems boring to leave it the same, I love the part of doing the babies room!
To be brutally honest, I was disappointed at first. Not because it's another boy, I know I will love him just as much as my others. But because my dream of having a girl will never be realized. Then I think, that is just ridiculous, I am so happy that (so far) baby is healthy and how could I feel that way. But it truly doesn't have anything to do with baby, it's just a silly dream I had for so long that I need to let go.

I think that is totally understandable and you shouldn't feel guilty for a second! Of course you will adore your little man! But I think it's only natural to want a girl too. But your right, the baby is healthy and that's most important and your boys will adore you (I'm sure they do already!)
I adore bjorn and remember thinking at my 20 week scan that I would love two more little Bjorns! Not that I'm not happy with what I'm getting!
Xx
P.s I think you should redecorate the nurery! I remember you loving doing all that stuff with Kash and if you have the chance you should do it again! Xx
Thank you for not making me feel like a monster for my sadness over not having a girl. I do already feel better about it and have started thinking of themes for new baby. I know it's really a waste of money, but I agree, a new nursery theme may be just what I need to get over it. I find myself getting excited just thinking about what to do for the "new" room! Will have to run it by DH first and see what he thinks.
I have realized my dream of a girl isn't over, it's just changed.....I'm gonna get daughter-in-laws and granddaughters to spoil rotten! I am so happy baby is healthy and really excited to meet him. I find myself thinking about what he will look like and if he will look like me and what little personality he is going to have. My boys now are so different, it will be fun to see what this one will become.
I have a question about bassinets, did you two use them? I never have, but I may not want to kick Kash out of his crib if he isn't ready at the time. I also don't want to kick him out of his room either right away. I don't want him feeling like he was "replaced" with a new baby. So I thought we could put baby in a bassinet at first. How long do they stay in bassinet? Is it more comfortable for them than a crib?

Moses basket!
We used one with Alex. Although I say used lightely as with most of his earlier weeks etc he slept in his carseat or on us because of his reflux. But we did use one and managed with it till he was about 13wks at which point we moved him into his crib. I will be using it again with this one
You should NOT feel like a monster at all!!! OFC you will love and cherish this baby regardless, but I think we all have secret hopes of one sex or another, it cant be helped. I had a bit of a freak out when I fell pregnant with this one and tbh, its why we found out the gender. I was secretly hoping it would be a boy, what with the age gap being so small and not having much experience with little girls etc. I know if I had found out this was a girl, I would have had a period of adjustment, yep I would love her just as much, but its hard to let go of that dream. I do want a girl in my life, same as you did. I also know odds are we would get another boy though lol..BUT I digress...!
What you are feeling is totally natural. And you shouldnt feel bad for even a second for having that dissapointment feeling. Doesnt mean you love this baby any less 
And I agree...decorate the room!
Hope you are both ok? All systems go here we move the day after tomorrow so if I am quiet thats why!
How are you going with the pregnancy symptoms girls? I am getting miserable here lol. Having such a harder time of things this time around and miss being able to play with Alex as much as I did and not being in pain when I walk too! 48 days to go though!

Oh, funny how the names differ from country to country. I did find one today at my local store. Then I ordered it on their website cause it was 10% off online only, haha! I think it will work out perfectly and hoping that it will help this baby feel settled in those first weeks as opposed to putting in the crib. Both boys had reflux as well though Kash was pretty mild and didn't last nearly as long.
And oh yes, I will cherish this baby! I am already feeling excited to meet him. Surprisingly while shopping seeing the girls clothes didn't affect me. I think I'm already over it. And I know one day I'll still get to do all that fun stuff I dreamed about with a granddaughter.
Sarah, your boys being so close in age they will get along so well and have lots in common. My boys sure do! They giggle and wrestle with each other, play cars and trains all day long....they really are good boys and so easy!
Yes, I am going to decorate the room I decided. I am thinking a sea/ocean theme. Though I will wait awhile to get anything. I am going to wait and see how Kash does and leave him in his room until he is ready to change to a toddler bed. Even if it's after baby is born since baby will sleep in the bassinet for the first short while.
Everything is going like a dream so far. I am in 2nd trimester and feeling pretty good. Just beginning to get a bump, but nothing to slow me down yet.
Good luck with the move Sarah. Wow, what a lot to do while being pregnant too!

Sorry I thought you meant a Moses basket but got some reason I thought you were referring to a bed for Kash and I thought he would be too big!
Yes I used one with bjorn, he didn't really like it and he spent most of the nights in our bed! He looked cute in it though!
Good luck with the move Sarah! It is hard being heavily pregnant with such a young child! My dr told me I shouldn't be carrying Bjorn anymore but it's impossible!
I'm exhausted from not sleeping, my dr prescribed me a light sleeping pill for a week to help but last night it helped me sleep but I was still up at 3am vomitting acid! She changed my heartburn meds too so hopefully that will help! Having braxton hicks all the time! Having another growth scan next week too! Xx

Well, I hope this baby will like a moses basket cause I bought one! I like the idea of being able to wheel it wherever I want to put it.
How do you even lift Bjorn with two babies in your belly?! I cannot wait for Kash to start walking so I don't have to carry him everywhere. He is on the later end of walking, but just this week he has started walking while holding my hand so I've been having him walk wherever we can and then I just pick him up to put him in crib, high chair or changing table. He is SO heavy compared to Aden at that age I get tired of carrying him everywhere.
I get really bad heartburn too during pregnancy. Have you tried propping yourself up while sleeping? Sometimes a glass of milk can help too. I actually use my oils for that this pregnancy, Peppermint, Lemon and DiGize and it's not been so bad, though the later weeks are when it really gets bad. I won't be using Peppermint later though cause I heard it can cause baby to turn.

I'm so over being pregnant! I know that's terrible for me to say! I'm as big now as when I had bjorn and it's so hard with a one year old!
Moter my dr perscribed me losec for the heartburn and it's amazing!
