My confession: I was disappointed when we found out we were having a boy.

(Note past tense, please.)

I was thrilled we were having a boy, and so was DH. But I think if we had a girl he may have been upset.

DH was upset at the u/s when they said girl - I could see the disappointment. It was kind of difficult really. He asked the tech to make sure like 5 times.
We waited to find out (we had them put it in an envelope and we opened it at home, together in private. I let DH open it and he made this disappointed-ish face, So I instantly thought girl. He was just doing that to be a dbag and then he got a big ol grin on his face and said its a boy! I hope when we decide to have #2 he will be happy if its a girl

That's cute that you did it privately. I think J was a little disappointed about a boy, not because he didn't want a son but because I think I had also convinced HIM it was a girl. Whoops.

I really tried to do stuff to make him feel included. I got to feel and experience everything, so little stuff like him finding out the sex first, picking the name, holding him first-I let him do all of that. We both REALLY wanted a boy but i would've been 100% happy with a girl right away. I know he would've had some disappointment at first.

I really don't care what #2 is, but I know he wants another boy. For the sake of not having to buy all new clothes, I'd like another boy.

I'd love to have all boys. Aside from not having to buy all new clothes (which would be awesome), I'm pretty sure I'd screw a girl up royally. If we do have a girl, I'll be thrilled and terrified all at the same time.

DH has been working from home since I started work to watch DS so we don't have to pay for daycare, since his job is in limbo right now anyway. Donovan is starting to prefer DH to me. He laughs more for him and grabs more for him.

I'm seriously starting to resent DH for it.

It's just a phase. DD prefers me and laughs and reaches for me and DH is the one who stays home. It has nothing to do with him being home with Donovan.

jgal84 · June 2011

Here's mine: The house next door is for sale, and one of DH's friends wants to buy it. His friend is super nice, and we get along with him really well. However, his wife is a two-faced, ugly, stuck up biitch who flirts with DH. At first, I didn't want them to buy that house, because I couldn't stomach the thought of being neighbors with her. But, now, I hope they DO buy it, because then our house will always be bigger and better than theirs Devil

You say this now...coming from someone who is married to the 2nd of 4 boys, you do NOT want all boys.

Coming from a family of 3 girls...I can not handle that kind of crazy. The drama starts at 10 and doesn't ever end! 1 girl? yes. 2 or more? I don't have that kind of patience!

My Confession:

TeenNick is having a classic Degrassi: The New Generation (early 2000's version) Marathon right now. I'm tuned in, and plan to be ALL. MORNING. I love me some Canadian Paige, Emma, Sean, Elli, Marco etc.

Apparently I'm a 12 year old.

Nuh-uh. Nuh-UH! So excited, I love old school Degrassi!

Note: old school Degrassi is Snake, Wheels, Spike etc. Not TNG. Get it straight Kirky, geeeeeez.

Just thought this needed to be said again. Old school Degrassi was awesome.

Music Everybody wants something...they'll never give up.... Music

Oh...and when one of the twins got pregnant and had an abortion...and when poor Shane got all messed up on acid and jumped off a bridge...and when Wheels went hitchiking and almost got molested...and there was one about animal testing...

Now I wanna watch Degrassi.

faeriequeeneonwow · June 2011

Ok, I'll confess over here too.

I have a gut feeling that this baby is going to come early - not necessarily that there will be health issues involved this time, but there's a part of me that "knows" that there's no way I'll carry this baby to February.

I've also compartmentalized this pregnancy in my head to try to eliminate some of the irrational fears that pop up all the time. I'm aching to get to 20 weeks because every week after that means better lung development and body weight and better NICU survival rate. Hitting 25 weeks will be even better because survival rate is monumentally higher at that point. Getting to 30 weeks feel like it will be a relief because I know how to handle that because of what we went through with Sophie.

I want so desperately to enjoy this pregnancy and for it to be "normal" but I can't help but worry that something's gonna happen, not just with the baby but with me. I'm just ready for my baby to be here safe and happy and healthy, and for the health risks that this pregnancy poses for me to go away.

I should probably add that I would be happy with a boy, it's just that Lainey has the cutest clothes ever and I could re-use them....

I want another girl so so bad. And I'll prob be disappointed (not for long) if I have a boy. Partly bc I want Danica to have a sister bc I never did and partly bc DH wants a boy and will get snipped if we have a boy.

We are the opposite. DH is done if we have a girl next. If we have another boy, he would consider having a 3rd.

I have anxiety due to PPD, And I've been taking it out on DH, and I keep thinking that he cheated on me, and it doesn't help when Bitchy-Ex-Wife message me and tells me I'm ugly, and an mutual friend accidentally message me about DH might of cheated. I'm trying to trust my husband, I'm getting the help I need, but at times it gets me and I get so depressed that I don't want to get out of bed, or get dressed or anything. But I do, I get out, I play with my son, and we have PJ day. and today is one of those days..

I judge people who are in their late 20's (and who are also working professionals) who still do the "we'll buy you pizza and beer if you come help us move!" crap. Hire some damn movers.

Ummm....We're in our 30s and we still do that. It's much cheaper and our friends have trucks and strong backs so why not?

Ha, we just have a large network of DH's college friends and this was happening ALL THE TIME. If it's family and a couple close friends and you have a reasonable amount of stuff, fine. But when we lived in the city people practically moved every year. Multiply that by a few people and you're giving up a weekend every month or two.

Ha! Most of our friends are settled into their own places, so we only have to help move people maybe once every couple of years.

Also, I don't like hiring movers because when I say "Don't drop that.", I mean don't drop that. Not drop that.

yeah, we just get approached about it a LOT. I don't know if it's just H's manly muscles (lol) or our SUV but it's getting pretty old. The last thing H wants to do is spend his weekends moving people because they are too cheap to hire real movers. If it was family then we wouldn't have a problem with it.

I never thought I would want multiple girls. Now the thought of that is awesome.

My confession: I was disappointed when we found out we were having a boy.
(Note past tense, please.)

I was too. Mother's intuition told me it was a boy, but I had seen so many people posting on tb about their mother's intuition being wrong so I was hoping that might be the case.

Looking back I always wanted a boy first so he could be the big protective older brother of his younger siblings, so I don't know why I was so dissappointed. I wish I could buy the cute little summer dresses, shoes, bows and hats for girls but I am now so happy to have my little man!

My confession: While I do want a girl, we are 2 and done, and I feel bad for putting my foot down and not giving DS FI's first name, so I want a boy next. He wanted it so bad and was silently very disappointed when I said no and I wish I would have at least made it DS middle name.
