So many boys! Congrats, mamas! I really think we are having a boy (I have no reasoning, I just think this), but we won't know until delivery. I'm starting to think I'm crazy for waiting, but I won't give in. I can't wait for the biggest surprise of my life!
Now if only we could speed up the next two days, so I can hear LO's heartbeat and put my nerves to rest. Trying to stay positive and not freak out like I always do.
@flowerpower5838 Finally got it! For some reason it kept inserting a random blank page when I printed that didn't show up in the draft view for me to delete.
I have decided that after such shitty news these past couple days, some retail therapyis in my near future (aka tonight!). I mayget some yarn to crochet myself a pink hatfor the Breast Cancer Walk this Saturday, and I may pick up something small for baby,like a toy or one of the bottles I found that I like. Spending money always makes me feel better, even if its only $10.

I can't remember who asked about anterior placenta, but do you feel normal crazy movement eventually? It feels so weird to me not to have the jumpin' belly party this go around.

@skruhmin it was me. I felt DS as early as 13 weeks but I found out yesterday that I have an anterior placenta which makes sense. I have been feeling him more often the last few days (solid kicks and pops but they're all aimed downwards or side wiggles - less to the front)

Yeah I've felt tiny nudges dead smack in between my belly button and pubic bone and then a few pokes above my belly button. He likes the left side

I was thinking anterior placenta meant I wouldn't feel much especially not soon but I've been having little bubble pops below my belly button or right behind. Hmm maybe my placenta moved in the past 7weeks?
@skruhmin I've had APs with my first 3, and you do feel the crazy normal movements later. With #3, I didn't feel him at all until around 22w and then I was like "please please calm down in there?!" bc he would move so much that (especially wks 30-36) he would make me sick - literally.

Hi ladies. @skruhmin, congrats on joining team blue again! DH is convinced we are on that team too but I'm not so sure....
I'm so very tired today, I feel like I'm worse at being pregnant in the second tri so far than I was in the first. So tired and emotional. Sigh.
I know I say this a lot but I cannot cannot wait to feel baby in there. It must be the most amazing feeling in he world (until it makes you sick @oceanchild )
Anyway hope you're all having a more productive afternoon than I am. Xx

Edited again because I forgot to ask what I really wanted to. I'm bumping on a browser in my iPad right now because though it says I'm logged in on the app, I can't love tit anyone's comment and I can't see how many new posts are on each thread. Anyone have this happen before? I also can't comment.
If you have to sit for a 2 hour group therapy session 1) wear comfy pants 2) don't eat a spicy thai soup before spurring a water aerobics session in your ute

Wtf is with people getting BFNs and then asking whether they could be pregnant? I just don't get it. When I was TTC I was always hopeful until I saw the one pink line, then my common sense told me I wasn't pregnant no matter how much I willed it to be so. It's just f*cking bonkers.
So lo is carrying around the first baby blanket I finished for baby A. He is acting like it is his cozy and it is kinda cute. Trying to get him to understand that it is for 'baby'. About 1/3 done with baby B blanket. Also, I looked down earlier and realized that my belly is lopsided and my button looks like it is going to pop soon. My babies like to cuddle together but it is normally in the middle so it doesn't make me look funny. Today, it seems they are both to the right and my belly looks ridiculously crooked.

Make a 3rd blanket?? A very special blanket for your DS???

@oceanchild - so glad they turned out and y'all liked them!!
On name woes: yes. We have settled on a girl name, but I feel like it's our third favorite, since DD1 and DD2 got our first two faves. Haha. Poor third child. And you'd think I'd have a wealth of boy names since I've never named a boy, but I've got absolutely nothing. Finding out the gender in less than 2 weeks and then I can get serious about picking a name!!
@redeye - I thought my bump looked lopsided this week, too. I tried to push on my belly and "re-arrange" it, but baby would not budge. Haha. I love that your twins snuggle together. That is so adorable.

He has 6 that I have made him, lol. I think I will make him one for his new baby doll though. Dh frowned on me getting him a baby doll, but little boys grow up to be men that have babies. Plus, he will have his own baby to care for while we care for the new babies. Maybe a doll blanket and matching hats for him and his doll?
Good job being ok with a baby doll. We just got DS2 a baby doll because he's bananas about baby. That's his favorite word right now. And at 15 months he's actually very gentle with his baby. Great to practice now while they're little.

People are cray cray..I also like the one where the girl is asking on first trimister how to preserve her positive pee stick and the one where she says her doctor said at her 8 week sono that something didn't look normal and is asking people if they think she is prego with twins. I can't imagine a pregnant women that would accept that answer from her doctor and not pry further.

I love this! My brother had a baby just like me and he turned out okay. Well, he didn't beat teen pregnancy, but having the doll didn't make him "turn out gay" like my father insisted it would. I think it's a great way for kids to get ready for a new baby in the house!
What's really weird is week 26-28 when you wake up and baby is really pronouncedly all on the side you slept on. DH would point and stare like it was an alien.
And I love the early wiggles. It's the, I've run out of room and my boat feet are lodged and dancing in my moms rib cage, that I can do without... That was me miserable from week 33 on. Yay
Now that dh sees how ds is with his baby, he isn't so against it. I guess he didn't have one as a kid. But I also have told dh, I will teach ds how to cook and clean aproppriatly, and if we have a girl, she will learn how to at least change a tire and check the car fluids. I want our kids to be self sufficient (every parent does). When dh and I moved it together at 19, he could not even do a load of laundry, but he could disassemble an engine and put it back together. I also had a 24 year old female friend who bought a new car, drove it for 75,000 miles and did not realize she needed to have the fluids checked. She was complaining that it was sounding weird and he checked it over and discovered her ignorance. I don't want our kids to be like that.

@MrsLeanMeanClean that sounds rough...I would have left
