Thanks for the congrats everyone! :)

I am absolutely prepared to hear boy at my ultrasound in march... I've picked a name that I really love and am envisioning my 3 boys in 5 years time all being amazing friends. If this is a girl, I'll be in utter disbelief..... ;) I'll update in 12 weeks! :HH:

Missed this announcement, sorry. Congratulations! We had two boy names with DS2 that we couldn't choose between so we have a fab boy name ready in case. Our girl name was picked about 6mths into our relationship! Fingers crossed for pink beans

This was me exactly, even had the name. Then I went to my 20 week ultrasound/anomaly scan and it was a girl so had to go think of names lol. Didn't believe it until after my 24 week scan with consultant. Hoping that you get your pink bundle now and will be keeping my fingers crossed for you.

Hoping you had such a good pink sway! I really think you have a great chance with the weight loss, diet etc. frequency isn't as big a factor as those.

Are you going to do one of those intelligender wee tests at 10 weeks? I did with ds2 and it was right. Although I waited for ultrasound to confirm. Bit expensive though!

Aww thank you!! I so so hope my efforts paid off! Already I'm experiencing things a bit differently this time around -- my belly for one is hardly showing at all, whereas with both my boys I showed really early. I'm not putting on weight like I did with them either. It's all very curious! ;)

I'm not going to do any of those wee or blood tests, but I am going for an early scan at 16 weeks (1st march) so it won't be too long before we all know. ;) xx

That's so lovely, thank you! I hope it's my girl in there.. I'll get some clues at my 12 week scan I'm sure -- 1st Feb! I've got a really deep gut feeling about it but who knows if that's real or just wishful thinking... :) thanks again! xx
