Congrats on team pink mel!! I'm not surprised you were shocked after having 3 boys, think i would have been as well! x

Hehe, yep. I will say that I wasn't adamant this time that it was a boy because I have felt 'different' but with dh family history of no girls until right the way back to one of his grandads 4 brothers having 1 girl....I was expecting it to be unlikely a girl.

I am sure as the days/weeks pass I will become more used to the idea. It is nice thinking of girls names and looking at girly clothes for a change though:p

Theres some gorgeous girls clothes tho, there always seems to be more girly clothes than boys as well! All my family were shocked when i had my first boy as my family has been dominated by girls for so long that everyone just assumed it would be a girl, then found out yesterday were having another boy so think i've defo broken that tradition lol. Are u due around the same time as me then? x

Ooooh yeah I am due 29th June...so only a week before you.

Lovely that you are having another boy, hopefully they will be best friends as well as brothers. My two eldest are inseperable there is a 23mth age gap between them...this time the age gap is only 15mths!!!

EDIT - thanks EA:)

Oh yes Jakes chuffed to bits he's getting a brother, not quite sure he realises it'll be a little while before little brother can run round and play tho! How ru finding having such a little one and being pregnant? I'm struggling a lot more being tired and running around after a toddler all day!

redmel1621

I'm surprisingly ok....But the older two are pretty much independant, just need supervising for some things and LO is such an easy baby it is untrue. He is so happy, giggly, eats well. sleeps well he is just no trouble...well now he is super fast at crawling and is trying to become steady on his feet to walk he is a little tinker into everything but I have pretty much changed downstairs into a baby/toddler safe sanctuary to make life easier for myself:D

This is the way that I have felt different, with all the other three, by now I was huge, exhausted and felt like I was getting heavily pg....this time I don't even feel pg?

LuceB84

I wonder if it is because its a different sex, and with all your others being boys thats why you've felt different in your last pregnancies? I think you carry more out front with boys as well, definatly true for me anyhow i look huge already, god knows what i'm gona look like by 39 weeks lol, beached whale perhaps?! Aww your lo sounds like a fab little baby, i hope your next ones as well behaved for you! Our living room is like that as well, theres absolutly no damage he can do so at least i kno if he's in there then he's not causing mischief!! Unfortunatly he's sussed how to open the stairgate at the bottom of the stairs now so i have to watch him like a hawk lol x

evening all

the hip/pelvic pain continues so ive just been vegging out on the sofa and had a two hour sleep till about 6:15......

I really wish I could upload my bump pics as Im convinced I am HUGE for 22 weeks...... i feel like i look more like im 8 months gone......and its literally happened in a week....

feeling pretty tired and crummy still, had to take a paracetamol because of face spasms (sharp twinges of pain in my cheek of all things!) are really aching.... praying for my exemption card to turn up soon.

Congrats SJ - lovely name and cant wait to see a photo

Mel - Congrats on team pink...... xx

Hey redmel big congrats at no4 being team pink I can imagine its hard work with trying to keep up on 2 busy threads but thanks for popping by, hope to see you on PT in the next few weeks x

redmel1621

Oh No!! not opening the gate it's a pain isn't it, can't contain them as well!!

I really hope she is as content as ds1 and ds3.....ds2 was a nightmare baby, but I am preparing myself mentally for the worst and can then be pleasantly surprised:)

Off to bed now as I keep going to bed too late and finding it hard to drag myself out for the school run. xx
