TTC and Beyond!

[CantHrdlyWait]

Hey ladies! I've not been on in a few days. It appears I missed a A LOT. All I will say is that I felt like a lot of you ladies, and no longer felt comfortable going to the TTC board because of all the negativity....

But.. Moving on!!

17 weeks today! Yay!

Happy swing day to lots of you ladies!

One more day until gender scan yay! I had my first baby dream last night and it was a boy, but I think it may have something to do with my friend giving birth to her son this morning. She was admitted yesterday and after 28hours of labor he's finally here.

So exciting! What is your gut telling you?? Because I bet it is right. My gut was boy. Hubby was convinced girl. He convinced me girl. Andddd we had a boy in there.

 

[frsttimemama]

I just want to put out there again that as far as I'm concerned, you're all welcome at the TTC board. I love hearing from all of you. Obviously you know how to get pregnant.. lol! But I mean, I will just come here and see those of you who don't want to come there anymore.

My gut says girl and I'm hoping girl, but we'll see. I will be happy no matter what just to have a squishy little baby.

I'm with Sandy. I love hearing from you girls.
Goodness I love swing day!

 

[frsttimemama]

I bet your gut is right then!

 

[CantHrdlyWait]

Gut says girl for me too! I'll be slightly bummed if i'm wrong. I'm hoping there is some truth "mothers intuition". I've already decided on the nursery theme if it's a girl. Elephants! I love elephants and collect glass elephants. I can't wait to decorate the nursery with the little elephants on the shelves. =]

 

[asmcsm]

I think I will be bummed temporarily if I am wrong just because I am in love with our girl name and don't want to wait to use it, but we will be decorating the nursery with owls whether we have a boy or a girl so it's mostly just the colors that are depending on gender

 

[CantHrdlyWait]

I'll be happy with either gender.. just upset that my intuition is wrong! LOL
If it were a boy, i'd love to do a nautical theme. The rest of our apartment has a "beachy cottage" feel. I love it.

 

[frsttimemama]

We did a sage green room with a jungle theme before we knew either way. So for a girl, we'll just add some pink. That was our plan for before, too.

 

[asmcsm]

I think we'll use grey, white and mint no matter what because I love those colors, but if its a girl I'd throw coral or peach in there too. Our wedding was burlap and lace with mint and peach accents and I just love those colors.

I'm planning to paint the pictures and make a lot of decorations myself, also planning to have DH's great aunt make a quilt for the crib instead of buying one. That way we can use whatever colors we want

 

[frsttimemama]

We handmade a lot of ours, too. I painted letters and put his name up. We really enjoyed making it special for him.

What a lovely little bump! Looking good

 

[wavescrash]

Such a cute bump

 

[wavescrash]

Went through a little bit of a growth spurt.

Left is from Wednesday at 31 weeks, right is from last night at 31+3. Her movements have gotten stronger and very different in the last few days as well. Bump feels drastically heavier and much more round at the bottom. Swelling in my legs from last night was gone when I woke up thankfully. Freaked me out because they were so big lol. Woke up with a horrible headache today but I think that's just sinuses.

My friend is finally 1cm and 70% effaced. She just got another dose of the cervix induction medicine, gets another at 6pm and then after that the next step is Pitocin so hopefully her cervix starts getting into gear and progressing lol. Nothing like totally exhausting a woman before giving her a baby to take home that won't let her sleep either, right?

 

[Disneybaby26]

Right pic definitely looks a little heavier! Love the bump!

I can't imagine what your poor friend is going through, I'd be a mess by now!

 

[asmcsm]

Cute bumps!

Almost 24 hours to go ash!! Eeek!!!
