12/13 Week Nub Pics - Updated with 15 week pic

[NCBeachyGrl]

Here they are....very obvious to me and the tech. She did a potty shot and there was something between the legs that she was 50/50 on and that it wasn't as prominent as most boys she sees. Then, the nub said it all.

5295
5296
5297

[Butterfly Spirit]

Well I'm confused. In the first pic I see a straight nub below.. what could be the cord? Stick straight..
The other 3 pics I'm having a hard time with.
Do you want me to go circle what I'm seeing?

[nuthinbutpink]

I can't tell.

[NCBeachyGrl]

Really....you can't tell???? I thought that was such an obvious nub...maybe I really am bad at this!!

Yes...circle away. I thought in that one pic there was a very obvious boy nub. I have to say...the potty shot did not look boy. And I am really 13W1D. Baby actually measured 13W4D.

[Butterfly Spirit]

NC babe, here is what I see:

5298

So please take heart.. it's too early for a concrete determination!

[Butterfly Spirit]

I'm sorry I don't know my program that well.. to make a perfect oval but heck it gets the point across!!! ;)
And yeah, if the master mod can't tell... I think you are safe in saying.. It's too early.

[Rosie85]

Yeah what Butterfly circled looks girly!

[love-my-kids]

I think boy!

[love-my-kids]

And btw I myself do no believe that what butterfly circled is thew nub.

[Shellbelle]

I can't tell from these, either, Beachy. I see what ButterflySpirit is pointing out, but the nub is just not that clear IMO. If this was anyone else, I would look and just not guess, because I just can't tell. I think that's a good thing, though, because it means that any boy guesses that come through aren't definite! Boy or girl, that is one gorgeous baby.

Now we get to obsess for the next two months, LOL. ;)

[Butterfly Spirit]

And btw I myself do no believe that what butterfly circled is thew nub.

Only time will tell now.

[NCBeachyGrl]

This is the nub I see:

5299

[Rosie85]

That is what I saw at first too NC. Who knows...I'm not an ultrasound tech and I sure couldn't tell you which is right! Hoping it's the lower "nub" instead!

[Butterfly Spirit]

This is the nub I see:

5299

I saw that, but It could be the cord. IMO anyway ;)

[Rosie85]

All I have to say is that baby head is so perfect and cute!!!!

[coocoobananas]

I was with you at first nc... But butterfly could be right! Those legs are hiked up pretty high that it could be cord?? That head is pretty rounded!! I hope you're ok either way:)

[BeadinMom]

I agree with the other ladies...no real clues!!!
I am still crossing my fingers & toes you hear pink!!! <3

[dloui128]

I don't think I see a nub, what picture do you think you see the nub on?

[NCBeachyGrl]

Here is DS2's head at 12 weeks LOL!!!
5300

I had a major freak out moment...but feeling better now. It felt good to be able to freak out and get it out of my system.

[Winngrin]

Well poo Beachy, I don't know which is the nub! I'm kinda thinking the bottom is the nub, I think the upper one is too high with too much angle.

[dloui128]

I wouldn't compare skulls because DD2 and DS have the exact same skull shape in their u/s pictures

[Shellbelle]

Now that you've circled it, I can see what you're talking about -- but if you hadn't, I would not have taken that as the nub. I guess we'll see!

[mummypink]

Wow I have no clue but awww what a cute little bean you have in there!!
Did the tech point out what was making her think it was a boy?
Fingers crossed it is your little princess xxx

[Mrs_P]

oh no can't believe were still left guess, this is one awkward little beachy bean, it must be a girl (first 'she' freaked us out with spotting and no is being all shy with the goods!!!)

I really can't see anything that could be the nub but think the one you've circled is too high up on the baby to be right (it would mean his willy as almost on his tummy), to be honest i agree with everyone else wouldn't have bothered commenting if it wasn't you as its that unclear. Did the tech say much about gender (the ones over here get really snotty and say they won't even guess until the 20 week scan as its too hard to tell that early on).

Are you going to have a gender scan soon?

[Mrs_P]

Ps hope it was exciting seeing your beautiful little baby on screen and he/she was healthy with everything in the right place

[NCBeachyGrl]

She said the potty shot was 50/50 and that it wasn't really protruding like usual 13 week boys. But, then as she was looking around the profile pic she did think it was protruding so she said she felt boy. She knew I had 2 boys so was really pulling for girl.

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

Ps hope it was exciting seeing your beautiful little baby on screen and he/she was healthy with everything in the right place

AGREE Mrs. P!!!! Beautiful, healthy beachy bean with everything where it's supposed to be. Perfect in every way NC!!!!

[NCBeachyGrl]

I don't think I see a nub, what picture do you think you see the nub on?

Did you see the pic I circled? a few posts down...

[NCBeachyGrl]

I was really amazing to see the baby and it was sleeping pretty hard and in a bad position when we started. I had to roll around and she had to shake my tummy forever to get it moving. She kept saying how perfect the baby was. My heart did melt!!!!!!

[ynwa]

I really don't know what I think apart from mega cute babbie.fx it is dd x

[dloui128]

Did you see the pic I circled? a few posts down...

I just looked and I am still not sure that is the nub, and I think if it was a boy nub wouldn't it be angled up more? I'm not an expert though. I am glad baby looks healthy and hopefully when you get another scan it will be more clear and you hear girl

[Boymomsrock]

I also think what you circled is way too high to be a nub. I'm guessing girl. :)

[mrshonyez]

I agree, I definitely wouldn't say for sure either way!! I hope you get a surprise next time and its your girl :)

[mrshonyez]

Do you happen to have the potty shot picture?

[NCBeachyGrl]

Do you happen to have the potty shot picture?

I REALLY wish she gave it to me!!! But..my luck, no!

[Tiffani3]

I think you having a girl sweetie. Pics aren't clear fx for you dd xx

[spinningmadly]

I really don't know I"m not going to say boy or girl either way !!! BUT I really don't think a bit of protruding means its a boy for sure at all at this point.. I'm not just saying that to make you feel better! I know you really wanted a concrete clue today but I just don't think there is one and we will have to be patient! Either way baby looks cute no matter what it is!
I looked here before and at 13 weeks it looks like girls can still have a bit of protruding

[Cinss]

When a girlfriend of mine had her scan (i was with her) the tech said she thought it was a boy because it had a protruding part from the side view, but it turned out to be a girl with swollen bit. I think this may be the same (hopefully)

[NCBeachyGrl]

New question - I was looking at one of my other pics and I found the area below I circled in red. Does that look like a nub? If so would you think boy or girl?

[baby2ontheway]

I think im with love my kids on this one x congrats on a gorgeous looking babe

[mydream]

Yeah what Butterfly circled looks girly!
agree

[spinningmadly]

did you ask the u/s tech what she thought the nub was? I suck at this but I can't tell for sure what's the nub and what isn't

[NCBeachyGrl]

did you ask the u/s tech what she thought the nub was? I suck at this but I can't tell for sure what's the nub and what isn't

No...she didn't know too much about getting the good side profile shot.

Really does look girly.

this one that you circled now looks girly

[NCBeachyGrl]

Do you think that is a nub??

[Butterfly Spirit]

Beachy did you sway with Vitex? :)

[NCBeachyGrl]

Beachy did you sway with Vitex? :)

Yes! started it in May...took it entire cycle until O in June and then July until O (late July).

[Butterfly Spirit]

Yes! started it in May...took it entire cycle until O in June and then July until O (late July).

I think you have your DD :)

[NCBeachyGrl]

What makes you certain? On IG, I have all boy guesses!! :(

[Butterfly Spirit]

BAH! You let them ruin your day did you :p

[NCBeachyGrl]

BAH! You let them ruin your day did you :p

I should have known better than to post on there!!!! Even the tech on babycenter said she couldn't guess b/c she didn't see any clues.

[Butterfly Spirit]

That's good! There is still hope, and I feel it!

[pslo11]

GIRL!!!!!!!!

[charlyn]

Not sure which bit is the nub on any of your pics but hope you get your dg! x

[NCBeachyGrl]

OK...tech on another site responded that last pic where I circled what I thought was the nub is actually the cord insertion site.

I really think this is a boy. All other guesses on other sites have said boy so I am just going to have to accept it! I really appreciate all of you trying to pull for a girl with me. Better to face the music now than dreaming of pink for the entire 9 months. I love you all for your support!!

I don't think that's a nub Beach, it's too high to be a nub.

[Navywife620]

I am thinking girl were butterfly circled..the other one looks way too high up.

[Orchid]

What makes you certain? On IG, I have all boy guesses!! :(

Did lovemy4 guess? From what I have seen over the years she is very thorough and wont guess on a nub she cant see :) She is not a tech though.

[NCBeachyGrl]

Did lovemy4 guess? From what I have seen over the years she is very thorough and wont guess on a nub she cant see :) She is not a tech though.

No...she did not guess and either did coldwater....not sure if CC is still around.

I did have to laugh b/c one person commented on what I thought was the nub but is actually the cord insertion site and said that looked boy too.

[sugarNspice]

If the tech on babycenter said she couldn't see a nub, I'd believe her--she's really good, really experienced, and honest. Much better than what people on IG are saying for sure.
FWIW, I don't see a nub, either. If you look at this site, Embryo Development external genital sex organs - angle of the dangle boy or girl ultrasound gender scan - Baby2see (http://baby2see.com/gender/external_genitals.html) or google "nub theory" for other places that have very clear pictures, what you find doesn't look like EITHER what butterfly circled or what you circled. I think your images are not clear enough to tell from, or the angle of the shots is not just right.
So I am still very much holding out hope for pink for you--with those images, it's just too soon to tell.

*Sigh* Alright Beachy! :p
4 week countdown starts now! I'm going off your ticker! lol
We will all be very certain then. Come on Nov 9.. or a tad sooner since baby is measuring ahead of that on U/S! It would be fun to make a family Thanksgiving announcement!

[pslo11]

i think my baby is 120% girl after that site ^ ^_^
and NC i think its a girl, i wasnt going off of what you circled theres a solid flat long white line!

[love-my-kids]

Im still leaning boy. I don't think the pics are great but what *I* see im def thinking more boy than girl. I hope you get your little girl though and I know it's hard to hear when someone says they think boy. I felt the same with my last and second guessed it to the bitter end. *hugs* GL!

[spinningmadly]

Ugh IG is where I posted my girl pic last time and though it was def a girl they were not as reassuring as you all would have been I'm sure (hadn't found gd yet) ! And it left me obsessing... I refuse to post on there again! When is your next scan beachy??

[NCBeachyGrl]

Not sure yet! I go for my next dr. appt on Tuesday and then we will schedule next u/s and appt. Prob when I am 16-17 weeks.

[NCBeachyGrl]

Just heard back from lovemy4 on IG....she said:

I am thinking it may be a boy. There is a faint line over the straight nub which is commonly seen on baby boys. The 3rd pic in the slide show also shows this line/bump which makes me think blue. I'd give 80% odds so there is a smidge of room there to hope for pink.

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

AGREE Mrs. P!!!! Beautiful, healthy beachy bean with everything where it's supposed to be. Perfect in every way NC!!!!

Just wanted to repost this. Girl or boy=PERFECT!!!

[Mrs_P]

Thinking of you NC i still think its really too early to tell, but just in case - three boys are pretty special i am living proof of that and if 'he' really has fought his way through all the swaying stuff then he's mean't to be and will be pretty special to x

[NCBeachyGrl]

Thank you, you lovely ladies! I do make beautiful babies with perfect shaped heads :)

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

I LOVE perfectly shaped heads!!! My 4 had them too.

[spinningmadly]

Would you have a 4th?

[HopeandDreamG]

This is the nub I see:

5299

I don't think that's the nub. Looks way too high. I think what butterfly circled is which would make me lean girl :)

[NCBeachyGrl]

Would you have a 4th?

DH is already talking and telling ppl that we will have a 4th....who knows! If this is a boy then I'm sure I will be back in a few years to sway again :) Just goes to show, that we have no control over our future. I am so blessed with the boys I have and blessed with this baby!

[spinningmadly]

Symptom wise do you think your preg feels different than before? Just do HT next time ;) lol! That's my plan

[NCBeachyGrl]

Symptom wise do you think your preg feels different than before? Just do HT next time ;) lol! That's my plan

I could start saving now! I mean....I really have no room to worry about gender with all the things others are going through. A happy, healthy baby is all that matters and it is so easy to forget that. I love this baby with all my heart and I just want this pregnancy to go OK!

Yes, this pregnancy has been a lot different with nausea and symptoms. The heartbeat was 146, 185, and 156 too which was way different than the boys..I know I shouldn't have even taken note of that!!!!!

[auroara78]

NC, I really feel this babe is a girl, it's just a feeling I got, and my intuition has been pretty good in the past (hobbers, mocha, ttc5, etc.)

But I love what you said--that is how I felt going in preg number 3, I really wanted a girl, but because I swayed, I think it made me more aware that I could still def. get a boy as well...and I really worked thru that and came to terms with it, because while I did want a girl, I really did also want more than 2 kids, and that's very important to keep in mind.

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

Auroara, your baby is beautiful. Hope you're doing well.

[auroara78]

thx threemenandalady! I keep posting tons of pics, mostly in my due date grp's thread, but more pics in her birth story as well. I need to control myself!!! I hope your pregnancy is going well hun. I can't wait till u find out.

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

I have my nt scan next Wed. Pretty sure I'll hear boy again...but I'm ok with it.

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

Sorry NC...don't want to invade your thread. :bigsmile:

[NCBeachyGrl]

Distractions are good! I agree Lillian is precious!!!!


Thanks auroara! You are so sweet!! I feel good about my sway too b/c I wouldn't have changed a thing. This baby is truly meant to be....boy or girl!!

[spinningmadly]

I'm sure this baby is a boy and symptom wise the only reason is bc my face isn't breaking out as bad as last time, I think I'm just protecting myself from gd

[NCBeachyGrl]

The whole potty shot was driving me crazy so I hunted to find what it looked like. I found this thread and it looked just like this one:

http://genderdreaming.com/forum/ultrasound-gender-prediction/10855-12w1d-nub-results-2.html

That one picture with the big bump on the leg looks like mine too (minus the obvious nub that my pics are missing) so that makes me feel a lot better. I was so convinced that was the nub when I first posted my pics.

[love-my-kids]

So will you be finding out soon? I had an elective at 16 weeks. I couldn't take it lol

[NCBeachyGrl]

So will you be finding out soon? I had an elective at 16 weeks. I couldn't take it lol

I have my next appt. on Tuesday and they will schedule it then. I found out with both boys at 16 weeks so I am going to try to get an appt. for maybe Nov. 2. I have to be very strategic with DH...he wants to stay team green so I don't want him to go with me!!

[spinningmadly]

Hahha beachy. How come he doesnt want to know?

[love-my-kids]

Yeah my dh wanted it to be a surprise so he didn't go. He knows I know. Cant wait to hear!

I think a potty shot like the one she posted could go either way. There are not girl or boy signs and with her only being 12 weeks that is sooo early. Her profile nub shots were clearly very girly though. My girl at 13 weeks still was pointy down there.

[Butterfly Spirit]

Ooo Nov 2, that's right around the corner! :)

[NCBeachyGrl]

Hahha beachy. How come he doesnt want to know?

It is kind of my fault!!!! For a few reasons, I wanted to go team green this time because 1) I had bad GD with DS2 and DH didn't get it. I had to fake being happy and it was just SO hard. I don't want to go through that again... 2) If it is a boy, I don't want to hear it from everyone about how we will have a ball team, etc and all the boy comments that drive me mad. And now, he is really set on not finding out.

I still do feel like it is prob. a boy, but something in my gut says to not give up yet. IDK....I figure this is a good place to be in anyways b/c I am already getting used to the idea of boy #3 and the kids are so excited about a name i picked out...they want a brother anyways.

So, I am going to go into this with a win/win attitude and who knows what the future will hold!!!!

[Sunflower3]

I'm not convinced this is a boy. If that I'd the nub it looks more like a girl.
Don't give up yet! xxxx

[almostmommyof2]

I know the skull theory but I have no clue what the 'nub' is...can someone please tell me!? lol

[NCBeachyGrl]

Does anyone want to give any skull guesses? I am so bad with those....

[love-my-kids]

As you requested I drew on your pic to show you what I was seeing... Im leaning towards boy because I see a line with a stacked up look on top which is very common in boys at this stage. I had a pic of my last son at 13 weeks that looks just like this. It's supposed to be a scrotal bump. I have seen it over it over. Im not seeing much that would indicate girl but the pics are not the best and thats why im only leaning boy. I agree with lovemy4 with the 80% chance at a boy. I do hope you hear girl though!!!! Im rooting for you!!!

http://i49.tinypic.com/34hf50z.jpg

[HopeandDreamG]

love-my-kids~ isnt that high for the nub? I thought it was underneath that. I don't know how to circle. What do you have a program to do that?

[love-my-kids]

No not for a boy at 13+ weeks. Their nub will be higher with a stacked up poking up look.

[HopeandDreamG]

So the nub is what you circled, not the two straight white lines like half an inch below your circle?

[love-my-kids]

No the lines under are not the nub..... looks like a scrotal bump and pointed up nub.

[love-my-kids]

here is a pic of my now 2 year old son to compare. I was 13 weeks and 2 days.

http://i48.tinypic.com/1z67gig.jpg

[HopeandDreamG]

I need to stop guessing on nubs then!

[love-my-kids]

and my dd at 13 weeks. as you can see it's still up high but flat and long which is to be expected for a 13 week female.

[HopeandDreamG]

Funny you just posted that. I just went and looked at that exact picture(in response #101) and saw how high it is (but angled down). On NC's pics what throws me off is the two lines below. Yours is clearly a nub!

[HopeandDreamG]

In the top pic what is right above the nub? the cord?
wait I'm confused is it same baby. Bc potty shot is obviously a boy, but you say she.

[love-my-kids]

blue is cord and yellow the nub.

[love-my-kids]

Hi is the baby in this pic a boy or a girl - i'm confused :oops: beautiful baby too buy the way

this baby is a confirmed BOY.

[Mrs_P]

Oh right sorry, and thank you

Actually it looks like my one of my babies ultra sound, i was having a look at the boys pics see if i could tell from theirs (although obviously i know they are boys - have seen the bits in person) but i couldn't see a nub in there although it appears that girl nubs are quite obvious?????

[love-my-kids]

Well boys can sometimes be tricky if you don't know what your looking for since they can be sticking straight up or have a line which is the scrotal bump and many mistake as a girl nub. Girls are normally longer and sticking straight out so they can be easier to see.

[NCBeachyGrl]

Thank you love my kids!!!! I do see what you are saying and I feel like the nail in the coffin is that you can't see a girl nub. If this is a girl, it seems there would be something seen in at least one of my pictures.

I did see that area you circled when I was looking at my pics, but I thought that was the leg. In the pic below, I had asked lovemy4 about the cord insertion site and she said there was no nub in the pic at all. So, I had discounted that little bump thing. So did the tech on babycenter.

IDK...boy #3 looking more and more..

5376

[love-my-kids]

i think both of your last 2 pics show the same thing and when you posted the one with that was circled in red the actual nub was covered up. good luck mama!!!

[GreaseMonkey]

I have no idea what or where the nub is but I am still holding out hope that this is your DD! You REALLY deserve it and I want this so bad for you :HH: I know you will love this baby just as you do your 2 boys and this baby is lucky to have you as his/her mama...You can always join me for HT next year, I can wait for you and we can be cycle buddies again ;)

[love-my-kids]

I could be 100% wrong! I am no tech! Just sharing what I think. Im so rooting for a little girl for you!!!!! Fingers crossed!!!!!

I REALLY appreciate you being honest and showing me what you think. I need to hear reality and you have been so sweet!!!!! Maybe this baby will pull through a nub miracle. LOL!!

[GreaseMonkey]

I couldn't have pulled through without you, and I will be here to pull you through with this little beautiful soul :HH:

[NCBeachyGrl]

I swear I am done obesessing, but l just wanted to come back and update. I asked the tech on babycenter about the pic you circled luvmykids and the last pic I attached with the cord insertion site.

She said she wasn't convinced that was a nub in the circled area and she said that last pic below had no nub in it so she didn't think any nubs were present in my pics.

I have a dr. appt tomorrow and then will have my u/s scheduled so I can finally get the answer!!

[love-my-kids]

that lady on the u/s board on babycenter drives me nuts! i had like 10 very clear pics of my daughter with 3 lines and she kept saying she couldn't say girl because it wasn't boy or girl parts. i was so upset i wrote the people that did the ultrasound and they had me come back in the next day and re-did it and got the same pics again and acted like she was crazy. then i posted those and asked if they were better and she said no. i was shocked. her legs were wide open and you could tell 100% for sure it was a girl.

can't wait to hear your date!!!!!!

[spinningmadly]

LOL Lovemykids, remind me never to post my pics on baby center when I have some. that would drive me nuts!

[atomic sagebrush]

OK...tech on another site responded that last pic where I circled what I thought was the nub is actually the cord insertion site.

I really think this is a boy. All other guesses on other sites have said boy so I am just going to have to accept it! I really appreciate all of you trying to pull for a girl with me. Better to face the music now than dreaming of pink for the entire 9 months. I love you all for your support!!

I don't think that's cord, I think it's arm, but either way, not nub.

[momof3boyz11]

Ok let me just tell you that my sister in law did the gender ultrasound at 14 weeks and they saw a little nub too but a few months later out popped a little girl :) They say before 16 weeks its hard to tell I think it looks like a girl though :)

Can't wait for the confirmation!!

[NCBeachyGrl]

Can't wait for the confirmation!!

I just got back from my dr. appt and I don't have my next u/s until Nov. 27th!!!! The place I go to now makes you wait until 18-20 weeks. That is SO far away!!

I just got back from my dr. appt and I don't have my next u/s until Nov. 27th!!!! The place I go to now makes you wait until 18-20 weeks. That is SO far away!!

I did a private scan to find out gender because I couldn't wait until 18 weeks

[love-my-kids]

I couldn't wait either so I set up a private one with my last 2 at 15 and 16 weeks.

I posted in our due date thread, but I have decided to go team green all the way. I just can't hear boy and feel the heartache all pregnancy so I am going to wait until birth. It will definitely be hard, but I feel it is the right thing to do. You guys better stick around until April!!!

Well....I lasted about 5 more days...pic below says it all. 14 +6 or 15+1 pic...

You snapped like me NC!! I was hoping you and I would be pleasantly surprised! I'm trying to remind myself that I knew it was a chance, but still not sure 'why not me???' and why not you? Some people don't even try, grrrr!
We will love them, they will be adorable and I am so sorry you didn't hear girl:(

[HopeandDreamG]

NC~ sorry you didnt hear girl. you sound like your handling it really well.

CooCoo~ It is so annoying that some people just get what they want without trying...so frustrating (((hug)))

[Mrs_P]

Aw sorry NC hunny, if its any consolation i've been there (and will be again in a few weeks) and although its hard to hear the third one is extra precious - i love my three little monkeys and its so lovely watching them interact and bond with one another. Plus with three you are never short of a cuddle - there is always someone who wants a bit of mommy time. I hope you enjoy your pregnancy now this isn't hanging over you - thats my only regret with ds3 i lost most of pregnancy to gd

[BeadinMom]

I was there with DS3...
My heart was broken...and now my heart is walking around outside of my chest - playing football. LOL!!
I didn't think I'd get over it...but I did and in my wildest dreams, I never thought I'd be able to honestly say to myself "I don't care what I have, as long as it's healthy"...but because of that little boy, it's the God's honest truth.
He keeps me on my toes, but my life would be so boring without him in it. I truly believe it's the reason I let time get away from me....I've had so much fun being his mom that I forgot all about trying for a girl and now, I can honestly say...I just want a healthy baby.
Don't get me wrong, I adore all of my boys...but there is something about #3....we just have this bond that melts my heart.

It might be tough right now, but I promise, it WILL get better. XOXO

[Mrs_P]

Love that beadin - funnily enough most moms i know with 3 boys have said just that about their ds3. Mine is the charmer of the bunch and he's so cuddly and cute

[spinningmadly]

Omg nc!!!
You did exactly what I did last time on the same day!!
I'm so sorry you didn't hear pink sweetie :( I was rooting for you.
I am sure that he will be precious.
How are you holding up?

[NCBeachyGrl]

I'm really sad and over emotional... but I will be OK. I am glad that you girls are the only one who knows. That makes me feel better b/c I don't have to face the real life ppl. I"ll be OK in a few weeks....my insane mind is thinking about how to sway for #4....if I can survive this pregnancy...

[BeadinMom]

Aww my girl...
I promise you'll be okay. I was...I never thought I would be, but I am actually MORE than okay.
Part of me LOVES being the only princess in my house. The boys all spoil me. Just wait till your guys get a little older!!
I used to buy everything for our house in blue....or at least it had to be masculine. But you know what? I LIVE HERE, TOO...so I buy princess stuff for ME now. lol.
I actually have a Little Mermaid cup that I drink out of. :) LOL...I know it's silly, but you know what? It makes me happy!!

Oh Hun, I am so sorry you didn't hear girl but I know that this baby was meant to be. You had such a great sway, this little boy wanted you to be his mommy. Congrats on another healthy beautiful
Baby! I hope you are doing ok. Xo

Everyone says it and its completely true, when #3 is your GD baby they own your heart like no one!

My DD3 is the cutest, sweetest, most adorable thing I could ever ask for. She is the complete "mini-me" and I can't get enough of her.

Although I desperately want a boy, if I don't get a boy, but another version of DD3, I'll be fine.

Sorry you didn't hear girl, but BELIEVE me you will adore that baby like no other!!

My tip on dealing with the lame comments that are bound to follow, don't tell anyone you know the gender. The comments that accompany 3 of a kind are just awful! Tell everyone you will find out at birth and only tell the people you trust and want to know its a boy! HTH!:kissy:

I totally agree! If I get pg and its my 4th boy... I am not telling ANYONE EXCEPT YOU LADIES. The things people say and especially to a pregnant person! I know 4 is my limit unless we win the lottery or something lol.... But I am truly hoping and praying for at least ONE pink bean.... The sadness will pass but don't try to force yourself to "get-over-it" let time heal and once you have a name picked and start to feel more connected, it does get a little easier... At least it did for me. I love my boys and my youngest boy is the most attached to me than them all. He's my baby.... Hope you feel better soon... We all have been there/here that's what great about this site... You're not alone.
