Here's the nub shot (13w 5d) Update...

[annabel♥lee]

Sorry the pic is so huge. There's an arrow pointing at the nub.

1214

[HopeandDreamG]

I guess :DD:

[Cinss]

Girl too.

[KnockYourBallsOff]

VERY girly! Spine is curved....but that's one hellavu fork.

[annabel♥lee]

Really? Tech said 70% boy because of the angle. Plus there was a penis-looking thing in the potty shot, but she said that's not really accurate yet. I think she was just trying to make me feel better though. Hmmm. Hope you ladies are right but really don't want to get my hopes up...

[Cinss]

Where is the potty shot?

[annabel♥lee]

Unfortunately she didn't give me a printout of the potty shot. :(

[girlmom]

it doesn't look boy to me... again 13 weeks is really early so im not saying its not a boy. it is a deep fork but im not seeing anything that screams boy. a potty shot would be useless right now, they aren't accurate until 15 weeks and those nubs both look the same in potty shots until then.

[TTC5]

Ok I am going against the grain and saying boy..

[annabel♥lee]

Thanks for the guesses. I'm really thinking it's a boy, although I desperately wish it was a girl. :(

[TTC5]

When do you have another scan?

[annabel♥lee]

My next one isn't scheduled until Feb 29th, but I was thinking about getting an elective scan in about a week or two. However, I'm not sure if I want to pay $75 to hear boy. :(

[lobella2]

That is a tough one. I was going to say boy at first because it looks like it is at an angle, but it looks like it might be parallel with the bottom part of the spine and it is forked. I will say I am leaning girl.

[DoulaMama]

70/30 Girl :) Fingers are crossed for you, Hun~~~~~ xo

[annabel♥lee]

Really? What makes you guys say girl? Potty shot was boyish. :(

[girlmom]

not saying it is a girl but im not convinced its a boy. baby's spine is bent so its hard to tell if that nub is actually parallel with the spine. also its got a fork, usually girls have a deep fork like that and 3rd, because a 13 week potty shot is unrealiable. it means nothing. if i showed you a girl and a boy potty shot at 13 weeks you probably coudln't tell the difference.

[annabel♥lee]

You know, I think the reason why I don't want to get my hopes up about the potty shot not being accurate, is because there are quite a few ladies in my July due date club who have GIRLY potty shots from 12-13 weeks. Like, 3 lines girly. So, to me, that makes me think it should be pretty accurate. I hope I'm wrong.

And I do see how the nub is in line with the bottom part of the spine and is forked. When I mentioned to the tech how it was forked she said "forked???" No idea what I meant. LOL

[TTC5]

It very well could be a girl! As the spine is curved it is not that accurate. Don't get your hopes down just yet ;)

[begonia]

Only you know what you saw during your scan but I have to agree with several others that this is NOT a convincing boy nub shot. The spine is curved as many have said. I'm not great at guessing these, I feel like many are ambiguous, but this is certainly not a "definitely" boy OR girl shot IMHO. There's still hope ... I know sometimes that just makes it harder though, but I wouldn't give up on your dream yet :fingers:

[Prayn4Haven]

Based on the angle i think boy.

[Indira]

I agree with lobella, my first thought was boy because it looks so angled, but when you look at the spine the nub is parallel to the end of the spine, plus it is so forked. So I think you know as much as before the scan!
I think the skull shape might look a bit boyish (hope I´m wrong about that!).
Lena got a lot of boy guesses and she is having a girl :fingers:

[HappyLea]

My 1st thought was :DS: but then curved spine thrown me so i will say 50/50

[Just1wish]

I guess boy GL !

[indigoviolet]

I'm going with girl. GOOD LUCK!

[purplepoet20]

I would have to agree that the boy finding may be wrong because the babies body is facing away a little and the spine is very curved.... wait for your next scan it really isn't that far away. It sucks to wait but then you will have that extra money to buy baby stuff!

[annabel♥lee]

Thanks everyone! I just really can't imagine that potty shot being inaccurate at this stage. Plus the tricky nub....I think this is a boy. I want to hold on to hope, but then I don't. I'm so bummed. :(

Has anyone seen a potty shot at 13 weeks that looked boyish end up being a girl?

[HopeandDreamG]

I said GIRL because of the distinct fork- same reasone most other ladies already said.

[fifismomma]

I think boy on this one I know the spine is curved but still think boy x

[Foo]

I think the spine is too curved to guess, gl!

[annabel♥lee]

Ultrasound tech on IG has guessed boy 70/30. I've lost hope. :(

[My Fabulous Children]

Leaning pink.

[annabel♥lee]

I'm shocked by all the girl guesses! I finally got a hold of NicoleRH from IG and she said 70/30 boy. :(

I had a crazy weird dream last night that I had a 3D u/s and sure enough, it was a boy.

[littlemissnaughty7]

it is a tricky one but i think boy hun, i hope im wrong, did you sway ?

[annabel♥lee]

Yes, I did sway a bit. :(

[My3SweetPeas]

I am going to be different and say boy. I think it looks like it could be angled up.

[ELP]

Anna please look here (http://genderdreaming.com/forum/confirmed-girl-pics/5333-elps-past-confirmed-girl-pics.html) for starters:)
Plus at 13 weeks 5 days I would have thought that the tech would have been able to see a very boyish nub clearly like here (http://genderdreaming.com/forum/confirmed-boy-pics/6053-elps-confrimed-boy-nub-pics-interesting-selection.html)(pics 4&5) theres also a potty shot on the 2nd link for you to think about.

My guess would be 70/30 GIRL! Very curved spine And it would be higher to the girl side but there seems to be alot of detail missing:)

[nuthinbutpink]

My son at 13 weeks had two bumps sticking straight up on the nub shot. No fork. I do know boys can also have forks and yours is angled. Also, at 13 weeks, I saw a penis and 2 balls. It was obvious. Girls can still have a nub between the legs on a potty shot but it would be smaller and pointy and there really should be nothing that looks like testicles.

I hope your nub is one that turns out to trick the techs.

[zanacal]

First of all, big {hugs}.

When I first looked I guessed girl but it really is just a guess - though I hope it's right! Don't forget we have an ultrasound tech here too and I'm pretty sure Foxy is usually online mid-week. She was the only one I really believed when she said no gender clues in my 12 week scan photo lol!

[lindi]

It looks an awful lot like one nub shot I had of my GIRL, who the tech guessed girl with nub, confirmed with about 3 ultrasound potty shots AND I did IVF PGD for a girl so I had the chromosomal testing even before all that! But if you have a feeling, that's always something I think.

[nuthinbutpink]

That's right, lindi, yours did look like a boy! Can you post your pic for reference?

[annabel♥lee]

Thanks ELP. Your son's potty shot looks like my potty shot though. :(

[annabel♥lee]

Lindi, I'd love to see your pic.

Zanacal, I had no idea we had a tech here!! I hope she takes a look!

Ladies, I'm going in for an elective scan next Friday, the 3rd.

[auroara78]

I think the scan will be a good thing!

I do see where people are saying girl then boy, it looks boyish skull wise to me, but the fork makes me think girl, so your baby has me all confused! (I am definitely no expert at this though!)

I hope the ultrasound tech chimes in, but I definitely would not think anything, boy or girl, until your elective scan. Can't wait to hear what that scan says!

[Coccinelle33]

i totally think boy

[annabel♥lee]

:(

[Rein&Sonshines]

My first thought: BOY, but I could very well be wrong. Congrats no matter what!! :running:

[nuthinbutpink]

Here is the link to lindi's nub. It was at 11w6d.

http://genderdreaming.com/forum/ultrasound-gender-prediction/4638-just-double-checking-my-what-ht-told-me-thoughts-nub.html

[nuthinbutpink]

I compared the 2 and I think lindi's nub looks more angled but the head shapes look really different to me. I know everyone has dogged the whole head shape theory lately though. 50/50!

[rochellect]

I would guess girl but I am brand new at this.

[annabel♥lee]

Is there a scrotal bump? I'm not sure what it looks like.

[annabel♥lee]

I guess I might as well add this other pic. I didn't put it in the origional post because the tech didn't tell me if this was a nub shot. Is there a nub? If so, is it boyish?? :(

1246

[Flava]

Cute baby! Im thinking boy.But we can't tell for sure not the best pic. GL!

[charlieispy]

i guess boy from that photo hun x

[zanacal]

I still don't think it's obvious! The nub looks angled but it also looks in line with the bottom of the spine. I don't think the skull is really obvious either.

[annabel♥lee]

Thanks for the guesses. I'll know for sure in a week.

[Cinss]

I still say girl

[annabel♥lee]

I still say girl

This seriously made my day. Lol

[Myloves]

Hard to tell... but I don't think it really looks boyish.

[Foxy]

Hi hun! Baby is super curled, so it's not the best pic to guess from. Maybe boy, but I hope I'm wrong.

[annabel♥lee]

Hi hun! Baby is super curled, so it's not the best pic to guess from. Maybe boy, but I hope I'm wrong.

:(

Ok, thank you for looking. I've pretty much resolved myself to hearing boy next Friday. I'm so so sad. :(

[littlemissnaughty7]

anna hun this is such a tricky one the nub is soooooo straight (which to me is girly) but its angled (which is boyish), i know how you ,ust feel please dont lose hope yet hun, there is still a chance this could be your girl, and if not when hes born you will take one look at him and fall helplessly in love with him x

[indigoviolet]

I really don't know from pics....really really hope you hear girl next Friday :pray:

[annabel♥lee]

Wow - 7 pages of responses! Thanks so much for all of your guesses. I am so nervous for my appointment Friday. I've been incredibly sad/depressed since the NT scan and of course I'm hoping it ends up being a girl but I don't have alot of hope left.

Foxy here and NicoleRH from IG are both leaning boy and they are experienced techs. Not to mention the tech who actually performed my u/s said 70% boy.

The only reason I'm holding onto any hope at all is because it doesn't look like any boy nub that I have seen and I have looked at pages of confirmed boy nub pictures. Most of them have more going on either right above the line or on the tip. Especially being 13 weeks I guess I would expect to see a more classic boy nub. But for all I know, this pic might not be showing the whole picture, KWIM?

Anyway...I have 5 more days to stress over it and then once it's confirmed either way I'm going to try to take a break from obsessing. I just have to accept it if it's a boy, even though it makes me so so sad. :( I am still praying for a girl...holding onto that thread of hope. Not really sure why because I know that'll just make it hurt more, but I am.

Of course I'll keep you all posted...

[TTC5]

I still think boy even more looking at the recent pic, I'm sorry xx

[girlmom]

im still holding out hope for you. the pics are not great for gender confirmation and 13 weeks is so early. hopefully you will get a great gender shot! if its a boy then i know you wil love him anyway once he's in your arms. plus if you have 7 boys you get a 98% of having a girl without swaying. trust me i know! you are one baby closer!

[annabel♥lee]

I still think boy even more looking at the recent pic, I'm sorry xx

Can you tell me where the nub is in he second pic?

[annabel♥lee]

OK some people on IG are saying there is no nub in the second pic. Hope that's true but what do I know?! lol

[Indira]

Yes, there is a white line that seems to be continuing, looks like it might be something else. And the same thing is happening in the first pic. :pray: But I´m far from being an expert, so if others think it is the nub, it probably is.

[purplepoet20]

I am going to say girl based on the head and a feeling!

[annabel♥lee]

Gender scan is in 2 days. I'm getting nervous. Any more guesses?

[indigoviolet]

Gosh, getting close to knowing, really pray you hear what you want at the scan :pray: I know how you feel, had my scan earlier this week and totally obsessing and convinced it is a third boy.....it is so hard waiting to find out for sure. stay strong :HH:

[TTC5]

Gender scan is in 2 days. I'm getting nervous. Any more guesses?

I hope you get your girl!

[KnockYourBallsOff]

I'm still gonna hold strong with girl. The back of that skull says girl to me and that is a very forked nub and the spine is curved.

Girl, final answer. Can't wait to hear Friday!!!

[annabel♥lee]

Thank you!! :D I hold onto every last girl guess, you have no idea! LOL

So, today at work, an old coworker came in to show off her brand new baby girl. Two weeks old. Damn did that hurt. She was beautiful, dressed in pink, tiny and sleeping...everything I long for. Please, please God give me a baby girl.:pray:

[Indira]

:luck::fingers::luck::fingers::luck::fingers: for today annabel lee

[littlemissnaughty7]

when do you find out hun ?

[annabel♥lee]

5 more hours! Preparing to hear boy but praying to hear girl.

[auroara78]

Can't wait to hear what you're having....will you update us as soon as you feel up to?

I am so hoping you hear pink!

[littlemissnaughty7]

[zanacal]

Good luck x

[KnockYourBallsOff]

Good luck!!!!

[HopeandDreamG]

Wanted to see how you are? Do u have any news? I canny even tell you how much I related to your story seeing the baby girl at work. My heart is breaking bc I'd feel the same way (((hugs)))

[indigoviolet]

Good luck!

[annabel♥lee]

It's a boy. I hate myself right now. I should've been happy with my two boys.

[TTC5]

I'm so sorry you didnt hear girl :(

[KnockYourBallsOff]

I'm so sorry you didn't hear girl. I'm so sorry I got your hopes up and guessed girl. I am soo soo sorry. I have 3 boys and one day, you will see how wonderful it it. Take the time to mourn. Keep in touch sweetie.

[My Fabulous Children]

I'm so very sorry :(, but congrats on your little boy .. GD sucks and I hope you feel better soon ((HUGS)) :hugs:

[Lassie1982]

So sorry you didn't hear girl :(
Hope you feel better soon *hugs*

[Indira]

I´m so sorry you didn´t hear girl Becky, I was hoping this was going to end in another way.
I hope you will feel better in a couple of weeks or months, HUGS

[Waiting4Daisy]

Third boys are gorgeous! I say that as my third little boy is all snuggled up in my arms, he has been my sweetest of all my bubs, he chuckles and smiles and everyone comments on his good nature and try to steal him off me.

I know how much it hurts, I really do. But he will add something special you didn't even know you wanted. Is there a chance of a fourth? I will have a fourth boy or girl, and maybe a fifth in the future. My third son has helped me see the wonder of little boys all over again so I know I'll love more (while still hoping for a wee pink bundle of course). Pick a fabulous name, buy some gorgeous clothes for him. Spend a fortune. I promise there is something so special in three of a kind xxx

[zanacal]

I'm so sorry you didn't hear girl. I second everything Waiting4Daisy said. It will take some time, but I'm sure you'll be as happy with your 3 boys as you were with your 2. {hugs}

[indigoviolet]

So sorry you didn't hear girl ((hugs))

[Foxy]

I'm so sorry you didn't hear girl, hun. Congratulations on your little guy. Boys are great :) I wish I could have one more. xxxx

[aarafko]

Sorry you didn't hear girl, but congrats on your baby boy.

[girlmom]

been gone awhile. just heard the news, im so sorry it wasn't a girl like we all hoped for you. but the others are right. 3 of a kind is special. 3 adorable snuggly little guys who will adore their mommy who is queen of the castle. congrats.
