Had my scan, posted it up for guesses but I already know what I think.
He was very cute on the screen, putting his hand in front of his face and swallowing

Sparkles, baby is beautiful. What a perfect picture. It is so exciting to see everyone's pictures go from tiny beans to full on babies. So happy for you.

Is there anyone else that just doesn't want to tell people your pregnant? I like it being a secret and I have no desire to tell anyone else. We still haven't told my mom or hubby's parents, haven't told anyone at work or any extended family. Only 5 people know including one of my older sisters and now this week my little sister. I told her for her 21st birthday present because 6 months ago she told me all she wanted was a niece or nephew for her bday.

It was fun telling those 5 people but hubby wants to tell everyone else and do social media announcement on xmas and I am having anxiety about it. I like it that no one really knows. If I didn't think my tummy would give it away, I would wait many more months, but I know that is not possible. 13w1d today.

So I've had a little cry, and then spoke to my husband.
He was naturally dissapointed as he already has sons from his previous marriage, but he reminded me of why I married him - he makes everything better.
He gave me a big hug, we talked it through, and then made dinner reservations at our favourite restaurant.
I think the worry of having a failed sway, was that somehow I would let him down as I know he is desperate for a daughter.
He says we'll sway harder next time, which made me feel great that there will be a next time.

I also remembered my devastation at losing our last baby, and the losses of so many lovely ladies on this thread too.
At the end of the day whatever the gender, we're all blessed

Girliecat - I have been feeling the same way as you.
My Mum knows and is gagging to tell everyone, but I just want this to be a secret, I wish I had only told my husband.
It feels so nice knowing something that no one else does

Sparkles i do think i see the shadow of the nub behind your baby's leg and it does look very stacky which would mean boy. So my lean is boy. I am so sorry for even the slight disappointment because i know it hurts, and its wonderful you are able to look at the situation from such a positive point of view knowing deep down you just wanted a healthy and happy baby to snuggle. Your son will be special to DH in his own way because its his first baby with YOU ...and yay for trying again..you never know what may happen next time

[MrsSparkles]

That's exactly what he said.

Thank you for being so kind and supportive.
I am going to go shopping in the Christmas sales.
River island have some lovely boys things.
Already planning matching outfits with his Daddy, who has decided he needs matching Nikes.
My husband is an avid Sneakerhead, so it'll be quite adorable.

So sorry for your loss, KC. I'm in the same boat, trying to get back on track with the sway. Nice to hear all the ladies who had success after a loss. I unleashed my sweet tooth after dropping the LE, hard to reign it back in.

MrsSparkles, I like your attitude and positivity. Thats the way to go. What a sweet baby with a pretty body and head shape. Did you see boy parts? I can't see whether it's a she or he, but no matter sex, I am sure you will get a very special person.

It sounds like you husband is a great source of strength and both of you have a great attitude about it. I am sure there will be low moments when it is still hard, but I hope you find lots of cute boy stuff that helps get you excited. It is so nice to know that DH is on board with baby #2 and swaying. Are you still going for you private scan in a couple weeks to confirm?

Yep. We didn't want to tell anyone til I was much further along. However, my mum was one of the first to know and she would've blabbed to everyone and his dog despite me saying to keep it a secret. Plus, there's some Facebook mum's who my kids go to school with and I didn't want anyone letting slip on Facebook before I had a chance to announce first. I did it at 11 weeks, as being #5 I was showing very early, no chance keeping it a secret as it was pretty obvious lol. I think we will keep the gender a secret til birth for once, but I'm sure my mum will tell everyone..she'll have to know otherwise she'll make my life a living hell!
