Good Afternoon January Mamas! Sorry for being so late with this post. I'm going to blame pregnancy brain, I totally thought it was Weds, and the day for Ali&Luke's weekly post. Oops!
Daily affirmation:I have everything my baby needs to form it's precious organs, nerves and muscles and begin forming into a living being.
QOTD: So now that we are a little bit further along, do we have any intuitions/feelings/guesses/dreams about what gender LO(s) might be?
NBRQOTD: What are some really weird things that you just love the smell of? (come on, we all have those weird smells that everyone else thinks we're crazy for liking)
DD1 01/09/11

#3 EDD 10/22/14--Stick baby stick!
Always in my heart, 4 sweet angels 2/10, 10/11, 12/11 & 10/13

QOTD: I'm feeling that LO is a girl, but it might just be wishful thinking, and the fact that although we can agree (more or less) on a boy's name, our girl name list is long and shows no signs of getting whittled down any time soon.
NBRQOTD: I've been uber-sensitive to smells since getting pregnant, and most give me headaches, but I've always liked the smell of pickles, LOL. I can't think of any other smells I like that others might consider weird...
QOTD: I'm feeling boy because with two little boys already I can't quite picture myself with anything but a brood of bouncing boys.
NBRQOTD: When I was little I liked the smell of gasoline while my dad filled up the car, but not so much anymore...
QOTD: So now that we are a little bit further along, do we have any intuitions/feelings/guesses/dreams about what gender LO(s) might be?
I really think I'm having a boy. I've had a couple of dreams where he is wearing a blue onesie or playing with a truck.

I have ALWAYS loved the smell of wet rocks! I have a 12 year old brother who, when he was littler, would play with his tonka trucks out in the sand pile and would get wet and sandy and always smelled like wet rocks when he came in. I'll never get enough of that smell.
BTW- Companion Cube, thank you for doing this and you always have excellent daily affirmations! Thanks
QOTD: So now that we are a little bit further along, do we have any intuitions/feelings/guesses/dreams about what gender LO(s) might be? No dreams (and with DD I dreamed about a boy...so my dreams aren't right
but since this one is so different pregnancy wise than last time it makes me think boy...but that doesn't really mean anything since every pregnancy is different.
NBRQOTD: What are some really weird things that you just love the smell of? (come on, we all have those weird smells that everyone else thinks we're crazy for liking) Bleech...the smell of an indoor pool. Yeah that's all you are getting out of me
QOTD: So now that we are a little bit further along, do we have any intuitions/feelings/guesses/dreams about what gender LO(s) might be? I've thought from the moment I got my BFP that LO is a girl. I had one dream that LO was a boy, but other than that I'm convinced we're having a girl and am getting excited at the possibility.
NBRQOTD: What are some really weird things that you just love the smell of? (come on, we all have those weird smells that everyone else thinks we're crazy for liking) I don't know how weird it is, but I love the smell of rose purfume. It reminds me of my great grandma. Most people think it's old fashioned, but I love it!
QOTD: So now that we are a little bit further along, do we have any intuitions/feelings/guesses/dreams about what gender LO(s) might be? I keep thinking of the baby as a boy and so does my mom.
NBRQOTD: What are some really weird things that you just love the smell of? (come on, we all have those weird smells that everyone else thinks we're crazy for liking) I really like the smell of the pavement after it rains in the summer and I love the smell of my dogs paws (strange I know)
QOTD: So now that we are a little bit further along, do we have any intuitions/feelings/guesses/dreams about what gender LO(s) might be? I have this feeling the LO is a boy, but my DH believes it will be a girl, so I guess we wait a few more weeks to find out.
NBRQOTD: What are some really weird things that you just love the smell of? (come on, we all have those weird smells that everyone else thinks we're crazy for liking) I can't say I have found anything I love the smell of, I am just happy when the smell of something doesn't make me sick.
QOTD: I am feeling like I am going to have another girl because my DH keeps referring to our LO as a little brother. He did the same thing with our DD 3 years ago and got highly disappointed. But she is definitely now daddy's little girl even if she does have attitude, lol!
NBRQOTD: I used to love the smell of Pine Sol and gasoline. Now not so much! I love the smell of my fabric softener cause it has lavender in it, but these days I don't pay too much attention to smells too much. Too much chaos going on in my home to. I have teenage step sons on a rampage right now!

I think I'm having another boy, I just have a feeling.
NBRQOTD: What are some really weird things that you just love the smell of? (come on, we all have those weird smells that everyone else thinks we're crazy for liking)
fresh cut grass and when I'm weeding my garden I love being able to smell the onions and tomato plant leaves
QOTD: So now that we are a little bit further along, do we have any intuitions/feelings/guesses/dreams about what gender LO(s) might be?
I just have a feeling in my gut it's a girl... DH said if it's a girl he's selling it to gypsies, lol
NBRQOTD: What are some really weird things that you just love the smell of? (come on, we all have those weird smells that everyone else thinks we're crazy for liking)
I LOVE the smell of puppy breath! Love it!
QOTD: I still feel like it's a boy, when I dream about LO it's always a boy too. Some OWT point to boy (like the awesome pregnancy hair) some to girl (LO's h/b) so who knows!
NBRQOTD: The smell of library books and the rubber smell of new sneakers, idk why!
QOTD: So now that we are a little bit further along, do we have any intuitions/feelings/guesses/dreams about what gender LO(s) might be?
At first I thought girl, but now I am leaning towards boy. DH thinks it's a boy too.
NBRQOTD: What are some really weird things that you just love the smell of? (come on, we all have those weird smells that everyone else thinks we're crazy for liking)
I love the smell of my husband after he mows the lawn, something about the mix of sweat and fresh cut grass
QOTD: So now that we are a little bit further along, do we have any intuitions/feelings/guesses/dreams about what gender LO(s) might be?
Everyone seems to be guessing girl. I haven't had strong feelings either way, but I secretly hope for a girl.
NBRQOTD: What are some really weird things that you just love the smell of? (come on, we all have those weird smells that everyone else thinks we're crazy for liking)
Lemons! I never cared for lemon in my water before, but now at restaurants I'll pick up the lemon wedge and just sniff it for a while.
Hey there!
QOTD:I have been convinced since the beginning that it's a girl, and so has DH. We did have a crazy high heartbeat, (190 BPM at 10 weeks) even though that really means nothing, but it will be interesting to see if the old wives tale is right!
NBRQOTD: Hmm.. I can't think of any weird smells Iike at the moment. I've always like the smell of gasoline though!
Harper Oksana, born on her due date, January 20, 2011, and the love of my life
QOTD: So now that we are a little bit further along, do we have any intuitions/feelings/guesses/dreams about what gender LO(s) might be? I think it's a girl. I am getting pimples and appear to be growing all over.
NBRQOTD: What are some really weird things that you just love the smell of? (come on, we all have those weird smells that everyone else thinks we're crazy for liking)I LOVE the smell of my dogs' paws. Smells like damp fritos. This is not new to pregnancy, I have always liked it. Oh, and gasoline (when you fill up and catch a whiff).QOTD: So now that we are a little bit further along, do we have any intuitions/feelings/guesses/dreams about what gender LO(s) might be? I have a feeling it is a little boy. DH family is overrun by little boys and I just have a feeling my life will soon be ran by a pack of boys!
NBRQOTD: What are some really weird things that you just love the smell of? (come on, we all have those weird smells that everyone else thinks we're crazy for liking) I LOVE LOVE LOVE the smell of my mother and father inlaws house. I have no idea what it smells like but when I enter to me it smells very welcoming and home-y. No one else can smell it but me so I must be weird!
QOTD: So now that we are a little bit further along, do we have any intuitions/feelings/guesses/dreams about what gender LO(s) might be? I dream & think it's a boy. When dh & I talk about baby we always say he for some reason. I'll be happy either way.
NBRQOTD: What are some really weird things that you just love the smell of? (come on, we all have those weird smells that everyone else thinks we're crazy for liking) Love the smell of sandlewood & earth smells like dirt.
QOTD: I think it's going to be a girl. I find myself gravitating towards girl things rather than boy things. My DH also thinks that it's going to be a girl.
NBRQOTD: My likes and dislikes in terms of smells varies, although there are more things that I can't stand. I recently discovered that I can't stand the smell of my husband's cologne.
QOTD: So now that we are a little bit further along, do we have any intuitions/feelings/guesses/dreams about what gender LO(s) might be? At first I had a feeling it was a boy. But I called it "she" the other day for some reason. Who knows?!
NBRQOTD: What are some really weird things that you just love the smell of? (come on, we all have those weird smells that everyone else thinks we're crazy for liking) There aren't really any smells I love right now. There are quite a few that make my stomach turn still.
QOTD:
No "feelings" but I do know that we had a delayed conception. DH was out of town when we actually "conceived." Since girl sperm live longer than boy sperm (according to Sizing Up Sperm), we are guessing it is going to be a girl.
NBR:
gasoline, acetone, and vicks vapo-rub.
First I thought it was a boy. Now I think it is a girl. Who knows!!??
I love the smell of new cars and basil LOL
QOTD: So now that we are a little bit further along, do we have any intuitions/feelings/guesses/dreams about what gender LO(s) might be?
I always thought it was going to be a girl - even before getting pregnant but now I'm not sure! I have no clue!
NBRQOTD: What are some really weird things that you just love the smell of? (come on, we all have those weird smells that everyone else thinks we're crazy for liking)
Before getting pregnant I loved the smell of gasoline... Now I really can't stand any strong smells...
QOTD: So now that we are a little bit further along, do we have any intuitions/feelings/guesses/dreams about what gender LO(s) might be? I have thought for weeks that it is a girl! I also dream that she looks like my niece
NBRQOTD: What are some really weird things that you just love the smell of? (come on, we all have those weird smells that everyone else thinks we're crazy for liking)
No wierd smells I like...if anything, I don't like smells. Unless it's food. I'm currently making chex mix and it cannot bake fast enough!
QOTD: So now that we are a little bit further along, do we have any intuitions/feelings/guesses/dreams about what gender LO(s) might be?
I keep calling the baby "he", but I'm not sure if that's because I think it's a boy, or because I'd kind of like a girl first (both my husband and I come from girl then boy families) and I'm preparing myself for a boy?!
NBRQOTD: What are some really weird things that you just love the smell of? (come on, we all have those weird smells that everyone else thinks we're crazy for liking)
I love the smell of dead skunk on the road, and bus exhaust. I have no idea why. And funny enough, neither of these smells have bugged me while I'm pregnant -- but the smell of bbq chicken does?!
