Jodi - I am so sorry to hear about your Grandfather, even though the circumstances are bad I hope he is comfortable and not in much pain - thinking of you and your family.
AnnaT - big Happy Birthday to you, hope you have a great day. Yay on getting a lovely house to live in, that is great, you sound really organised with Jett's birthday party. We havn't even thought about Rylee's yet.
Meg & Shell - these Mother's Groups are hit and miss aren't they whether mum's get along.....it is hard isn't it.
Shell, I bought Rylee some pumpkin patch clothes in the sale, I loooove their clothes tooo, but think at full price they are a rip off, but in the sales they are great.
Mum3Girls - you have done a fantastic job on breastfeeding Ambah, that is great, I am sure it is sad for you now it is coming to an end.
Meg - glad your Aunties' op went well, fingers crossed for the results on Monday.
I had my scan this morning, all is looking fine. It is a boy - I have to say as soon as I left the place I burst into tears - I feel like a real b*tch - I just thought I was having another girl and now I will have to pack away all of Rylee's pink clothes, etc, etc. This makes me sound horrible and I feel guilty for being upset, I just wanted another girl, what can I say, I am sorry if this offends anyone.......but I will move on, it will just take a few days for it to sink in.
Okay, sorry about my miserable post.
BBL,
Laurin xxxx

Laurin - Don't feel bad honey. Aaron didn't talk to me for a couple of days after we found out Ambah was a girl (we both thought she was going to be a boy, and he had really wanted a son). I was upset too as I had wanted to give him a son, but of course now we wouldn't change for the world. It's perfectly ok to wish for a specific gender - you won't love the baby any less. Congrats on your healthy blue bundle of joy though, I'm sure he will bring you and your family lots of years of joy.
laurin - don't feel bad for feeling that way. I too burst into tears when I found out Nina was a girl. I desperately wanted a boy. It didn't take long though for it to sink in, and for me to perk up again. If you want to, there is a private forum you can go on, on bellybelly for this.
Thanks for your kind words re my grandfather. They are trying to make him as comfortable as possible. Very unlikely that he will leave hospital, but we're not too sure. It's a shame that they live so far away, and being winter, it's freezing out their way. So not really a good time for me to go out there with the girls.
Jodi, maybe Nina can draw him a picture, or you can take a photo and send it to him? That kind of thing might let him know you're thinking of him.
Laurin, it sounds pretty common to be disappointed. Just ask any mum of boys though, boys are always mumma's boys. My little ones are massive snugglers, always come for hugs and kisses, and my dh is from a family of boys and they're pretty tight with each other. Plus, I always wanted a brother, now Rylee will have a bro to look out for her, that's pretty special.
I'm definitely NOT saying that you're feelings aren't valid, of course they are, just wanting to reassure you that boys are excellent and when you have your little guy you won't be able to imagine things any other way.
Oh Laurin Dont worry about feeling the way you do, I remember having a little cry when we were told Rip was a boy. But I love him anyway, he is such a lovey and totally attached to me. Have to ditto Nelle though, boys are Mama's boys to the max! You could ask to join the forum specifically for this issue if you want to vent about it to people who understand.
So $300 later the boys have just about all their pressies for christmas and birthdays. Got some cool stuff Ry is dying to play with. I got myself some nice summery clothes for my birthday and I think Ry is getting me some cool sunnies. All in all an ok day but Im knackered from getting up early so its time for a nap methinks.
Laurin- hun i can so understand how you are feeling.. Please dont feel guilty about it.
Well I am happy went to the sales this morning cause i didnt want to deal with them yest, and got what i wanted. Big W let me layby the Wii pack even though they are out of stock and I got Annika baby alive for her birthday, The girls both mio pups for xmas and Mj some cubby house thing for xmas.
Mag- glad her op went well, hoping for a speading recovery.
Beatrix - Well done for braving the toy sales! I went in and pretty much went out again. There really wasnt anything i wanted badly enough to line up for.
Laurin- I totally understand. I was soo relieved when we found out Tiana was a girl. This will sound ridiculous to everyone but I am petrified of having a boy. I just don't think I would know what to do. I am one of four girls and didnt grow up with any boys around. It actually has stopped me from more actively trying for a second. I am a bit embarrassed about it. Ok what I mean is don't feel bad, there are many of us who want a particular sex - but it dosent mean we love our babies any less.
AnnaT- Good luck with the move.
Jodi - Emily is beautiful, so dainty and pretty!!!
Well not much happening here. Just working and TIana has another ear infection. One more and we must see the ENT specialist.
Congrats on your healthy blue bundle of joy though, I'm sure he will bring you and your family lots of years of joy.
