Waves ultimately it's your choice and like you said both your other girls have grown well on formula. All I would say is that I know it's hard but I promise it does get better. It takes a few weeks, I'd say 4-6, but once you pass that it is so much easier. They tend to feed a lot in the beginning because of growth spurts and trying to establish milk supply etc.

Mirolee I am voting girl!

I know I said I wasn't going to post much but I can't not nosey in here, I love you girls, you've been a great support. I'm reading most things when I feel strong but skipping some when I don't.

I thought I was doing ok. Thought I was coping. That was until one of my totally insensitive colleagues told me that her 21 year old friend who breaks up with her waste of a space boyfriend quite often is now 8 weeks pregnant with unplanned baby number 2. Fucking wonderful!
 
I'm voting boy for Mirolee as well! Can't wait to hear!

Amanda, I was definitely super bloated those first weeks! It was so annoying lol

AFM, I had my second baby dream of this entire pregnancy last night and in my dream I had triplets! Uhhh don't know where that came from lmao. There's definitely only one little girly hanging out in there. But in my dream I had 2 boys and a girl and they were adorbs and surprisingly DH and I were handling having 3 reasonably well. SO random lol
 
Amanda- YAYYYY! & I was def bloated.. I remember by 6 weeks I HATED my belly having any pressure on it, so I gave up on pants. Been in yoga pants/leggings/maxi skirts ever since :)

Ash- The dreams are so weird!! I think it's bc we're worrywarts.. like I said lol Marley was born like 3 inches long and I fed her with one of those tiny babydoll bottles where the "milk" goes away when you tip it. Lol I was so disturbed the whole next day.

BB- I love having you here! Boo for skanks who get knocked up. I can DEF understand. Aaron's sister found out she was preggo by a one night stand a few months ago. Somehow I found the guts to attend her 3D ultrasound gender reveal.. I thought, well it was an accident.. no way it's a boy, they need planned for. Girls are easier to conceive. NOPE... little boy. And she SOBBED her eyeballs out. Dh and I had to leave early, snobby thing wanted a girl.. should have been happy either way. I'd give MY WORLD to have my little boy back. Grr I was not happy. Lol. The world sucks sometimes. Your rainbow will be here before you know it sweetie <3

Mirolee- HURRY UP GHURLLLLL! ;)
 
I always said I would want a girl next but honestly I couldn't care less. I will be happy no matter what the sex. I would do anything to be carrying our second baby right now but instead I am dying inside. The pain is unreal. I manage to feel ok then bam it hits me like a ton of bricks.

Amanda that's brill news!
 
Huge hugs, BB! I'm so sorry that you're having a rough time. I'm so sorry that you're feeling so awful.
 
Amanda- such great news!! I felt bloated right away and barely fit in my pants by 8 weeks.

I vote girl for mirolee!!

Morgan- can't believe you went to the reveal and what an idiot for crying. Every baby is such a miracle!

Bb- sending you a big hug! Just take it a day at a time and know that your little rainbow is right around the corner.
 
BB- I get that too.. sometimes I'll get along fine and then BAM I'm like wtf how can I be happy after something so awful?!?! That pain will always linger.. a mother doesn't ever forget ANY of her babies, no matter how little they were. I can't imagine your hurt right now.. be angry, you have that right. Just don't let it last forever. Things will get better. Your son is so precious, I know he's what gets you through!!
 
Ugh crazy last 24 hours. So back to ER last night with Hubby for a terrible scary nosebleed. I'm a nurse, and I couldn't deal with that one. Some nose spray and a plastic clip.. then headed home! Grrrr!! Then the other side bled 3 times @ 20 minutes each from 1-5 this morning. Grouchy guilty preggo lady working a double on no sleep. Not pretty! Feel awful and scared to death leaving him home alone, like a bad wife. :( and I am so tired and emotional.. ugh!

Amanda, that's great! Yay! ! :)

Bb, how awful. That's the worst feeling!

Mirolee!! Eek! I say boy!

Rachel, how is Ellie??

Sorry for anyone I left out!
 
Sarah, I dont know if I can make it to 8 weeks in regular pants! My jeans now are a little snug from all the bloating. I think I need to invest in a few pairs of maternity pants! I luckily can wear yoga pants to work (like leggings, tucked into boots!)

Sandy, how scary. I hope he recovers soon! I didn't know that you were a nurse!

Morgan, hugs to you too. You're sooo strong.

We should be hearing from Mirolee soon!!! EEEEKKKS I can't wait!

Mirolee, are you using a heart rate monitor while working out? I think I need to invest in one but I don't know if its really worth it. At my appt my doctor asked about exercise and I told them that I work out pretty vigorously 5-7 days a week (45 minutes of crazy cardio plus weights) and they didn't say anything. I forgot to ask about HR.

ps morgan you can update me on the front page. edd 11/17/14. doc confirmed :) It may change once we get a better idea of size from the scans.
 
LOL Amanda.. I wear leggings/boots or leggings/flats every SINGLE day. Even sit indian style in my chair at work in them hahaha.. screw what anyone thinks, I'm preggers and need to be comfy! Lol
 
My work is really formal but doesn't care if we're casual, as long as we arent looking dingy. I'm wearing trouser jeans with wedge boots and a sweater today. no one cares :) I wear my lululemon leggings with over the knee socks and boots nearly every day. plus a long sweater to cover my butt. Now that its warming up here in CA, its too warm for boots :( It was 75* yesterday!

I need to get a handful of work appropriate maxi dresses. Like t-shirt dresses. i have a lot of strapless ones that aren't work appropriate.
 
Half a bottle in less than 10 minutes and feeling tipsy already!?!? Hoping it numbs the pain even if for a short while!
 
Amanda yay! I wish I could wear cute clothes to work or even dress like a girl for that matter I want a new job.
Mirolee I still say boy.
Bb sending you hugs
Amanda waves you gave it effort and made a decision don't regret it. We support you.
Molly glad he has the hiccups.
Sorry to anyone I missed
I drank last night and don't feel the slightest bit guilty for it last night I felt completely awful more about it is in my journal. Thus I'm not trusting my temps, even though I had my drink at 630. Plus I suck at ovulation anyway.
 
Amanda - That's great news about your HCG. Congrats!

I gave Leah another bottle for her last feeding and felt much better about it. Less guilty. It's just going to take some getting used to how much she eats and when. I warmed up 3oz just to be safe but she only took 2 so I had to dump that last ounce. Oh well.
 
My jeans were too tight to button several several weeks ago. I'm bloaty fat and looking forward to getting past that part to actually look pregnant.

First "real" ultrasound tomorrow! Yay! Can't wait!
