BABY DUST 5 ~ Extra Sticky!
Just thought I'd start the next thread since our last one is getting pretty bogged down by all our posts :)
jamie-i'm glad that you aren't experiencing some of the less desirable "girl symptoms." i don't think the old wives are right on about everyone--i SWORE keeks was having a girl because she followed all of the "girl symptoms" as i did. but, they were off on her, and they are off on you too! after my gender sono-, i had them double check at my next one and actually point out the labia because i was so afraid that there was a hidden penis some where. so, next sono-, have them double check and point out the labia so you can be extra sure :-) thanks for the compliments on my photo page. i'm hoping that i don't have trouble getting back into my jeans afterwards ;-) as much as i love pregnancy, it will be nice to have control of my own body again!!!
ASH is probably loving her little baby boy right now!!! she was induced yesterday. i hope all is well! post us pictures soon :-)
keeks-it's fine that we are peepee buddies, but i hope we don't become poopoo buddies!!--i'm so afraid of going poo while i'm pushing during delivery!!! oh my, what if i am right in predicting that it was a girl from the start!!??!?!! is your nursery neutral? my next appointment is friday next week. i hope i dialate more as i have been having a decent amt of contractions/cramping. but other than the mucous plug, no other major signs. although like you, i have had the nesting!! it's been going on for a few days and i am really enjoying it! i feel so productive! have you had any symptoms? how big are they estimated your baby to be?
princesska-i'll bet you can't wait to stop throwing up!!! you are almost there girl! i am glad that you can join keeks and i in our peepee sisterhood. pregnancy is so funny!! it's like we live in a body that is not even our own! it will be so weird to be back to "normal" again!
funny irony-i have noticed that i am obsessing over "labor symptoms" as much as i was obsessing over "pregnancy symptoms" when i was ttc!! i constantly find myself googling things like "is nausea a sign labor is near," or "are gastrointestinal pains signs of labor contractions," etc....hahaha! anyone else finding themselves doing this?? what will i obsess over after baby is born??? that is a dumb question because i am sure that i will have many of things to obsess over with her! hehe.

i cant believe i am the only one who is in for a big surprise in a couple of weeks. everyone is talking about their boys and girls and i am still calling mine an it. lol for some reason i do keep thinking it is a boy but i really dont have any strong feelings. it is prob because i keep telling our girls it is prob a boy to prepare them cause they both desperately want another sister to the point where they want to send it back if it is a brother. lol. i have become really sick again. must be a strong hit of hormones towards the end or something. i am so over it tho. 10 days til my appointment where they give me a date to be induced although i do believe it is going to be the 28th aug. they are saying my baby is massive too keeks so i am hoping for early so it can actually make its own way out without being too big. and on the peeing thing i completely understand. i do it regularly actually not just once but maybe thats because its my third pregnancy and my pelvic floor is stuffed. lol i seriously thought my water had broken too the other morning as i was squatting under the tv to put a video on for the girls and when i got up there was a big puddle on the floor. but i hadn't even felt myself pee!! it was weird as and thought it was the real thing. unfortunately not i just peed. the disgrace of it all!! i always pee myself when i sneeze or throw up!! no hope for me. better return to normal after bubs is here. i have been having lots of sharp pain low down in my cervix like a knife then gone. anyone else??? anyway hope everyone is ok and hanging in there. jamie congrats on the little girl news! take care all!
Can't say I have ever experienced full out peeing myself!! I have felt a litlte dribble here or there with my boys and it was not very often, but it doesn't surprise me that it can happen just be glad it happened at home then at the mall or something, then that would be even more embarrasing I think.
Keeks- I never had dreams of what I was having, I had dreams that I was pregnant with twins, I had dreams that I was giving birth to it, but I don't recall dreaming about its gender. It just felt so much like I was carrying a boy due to it feels like carrying my twin boys just not as big as what I was with them, and my mom kept calling her a her so maybe my mom just knew the whole time, my whole family is thrilled that it is a girl this time, my grandma in Newfoundland was hoping for a girl along with my uncle and his wife, so I don't know what it is with it being a girl. I know at our ultra sound when she brought my hubby in and was showing us the legs, arms, etc I asked her if she could tell what the sex of the baby was, and she said right now its positioned in a way where I can't see it, but I did see it when I was doing the measurements so if you want to know I can tell you, and she said it was a girl, and I said so you saw no penis or anything and she is like no that is why I'm saying its a girl. I just liked to make sure because I was very shocked. I am assuming that if she was unsure about the gender she would not have told me girl without hesitation, she said it and there was no doubt in her voice when she said it. So I didn't see for sure, but she did when she was doing measurements which is nice.

DUDE You made me feel SO much better! lol....Thank goodness im not the only one who pees themself! LOL.....At least you knew what had happened too though , I could have sworn my water had broke when it happened to me LOL.......I doubt theres much chance in messing up a boy being a girl , but I didnt actually see his " thing" and neither did my Fiance , she didnt really show us , she just said " looks like a boy".....But I cant see them being able to tell you if they werent 100% sure ya know?......I think my subconcious is still deep down hoping for a girl even though im THRILLED with a boy and would be actually quite upset if it did turn out to be a girl LOL...........I have NO idea how things work before labour ie: effacement & thinning and all that , I just know what my doctors tell me LOL.....Sounds like were both in a great position to go anytime though!......I didnt want to go early but now because they think the baby is so big im praying to go early LOL......Im scared that if I make it to 40 weeks he'll be to big & then they will want to do a c-section which would just top off this pregnancy so im hoping to go around 38 weeks & have him be a normal size & be able to give birth naturally!........Whens your next appt Krissy? sometime next week I take it?........Any signs besides your mucous plug that labour is gonna happen?........I think I had my first little bit of "nesting" last night LOL......I cleaned our entire bedroom ( which was a DISASTER) actually folded & hung up ALL the clothes , went through all of our socks to find matching pairs & then vaccumed the bedroom , cleaned the living room & vaccumed & washed the entry way walls LOL.......Feels good waking up this morning to a cleaner house though!
Jamie & Katebud ~ I dont know , the dream thing seems to work for some people but it didnt for me :( I had dreams right up until I found out it was a boy & even now , that its a girl......and I would have bet $$ on it too! LOL.....I have all the "girl" cravings & the higher heartbeat , and they tell me its a boy , so ya never know.....The Wives tales & the chinese gender chart said girl too.....The ring test LOL....we did em all.......I think in all reality everyones bodies must just re-act to pregnancy a different way

oh and I guess everyone pregnancies are different, everyones bodies handles them differently so I guess comparing to how other peoples pregnancies are its a little tough=)
Well to me all those old wives tales about what happens when you carry girls, like being more sick, or higher heart rate, carrying the girls high and all that stuff, I am not having any of that!!
I'm carrying her just like I did the boys (just not as big), her heart rate is 128-132, and I am just one of those lucky people who can have boys or girls without being sick at all.
Plus this time around I'M not really craving too much.
