So don't feel bad about needing it, you are doing the right thing. HUGS
Blue - that really sucks about your leave. Could you take the trip and just have a few days without pay if needed? That way you don't loose your tickets. I am in the same boat of trying to save all of my leave for when I am out with the baby. It sucks on days that I really feel bad and start out puking, but I still have to get into work on time. I feel for you! ((HUGS))
Welcome all the new members of the group!! I am technically not part of this group (due in Nov), but I know lots in here so I post anyway
lauraw - I have had an opposite to my sway 2 times now and most likely a third time this pg. I still have troubles. With DS3 - the moment he was born and I was told he was a boy, I thought - he is not our last. And I did a decent sway for my next pg. It was a surprise triplet pregnancy. Sadly we lost our 2 ID girls, and for a time I was NOT happy to even be pregnant with DS4. I was very upset that I lost our girls and how could I have another boy instead. I was in a VERY deep dark place, but as time went on in the pg I became excited for our new little man. DS4 is an AMAZING little one. He is full of smiles and fire! He fits very well in our family dynamic. I was not sure if we would go for another, but eventually decided we would try one last time. I was loosely on the LE diet for over 6 months waiting for my ppaf to return. When it did, I expected it to take a while to get pg because I am 41 and af just returned. Well, before I could get a better sway in (in my mind) I got my BFP the next month. We are technically team green, but I am pretty sure I saw a boy potty shot on the screen when I got up from my 20w u/s. So I am preparing for boy #5 for our family. I will not lie, I am having a hard time with it. I have good days and bad days, but I know that this little one is the perfect fit for our family and that I will just never be a girl mom. It is just to get past sometimes. My brain keep thinking, but what if we have one more....well that is how we got to 5 kids to begin with. I never thought I would have more than 3. It was supposed to be 2 boys then a girl. I had always dreamed of that family. Well, life has def turned out differently for me. But it will be ok. I LOVE my boys so much! Now, if we could just come up with a name, that would be good.
I know how you feel interms of the failed sway and GD. This was my first sway,I never knew about swaying before I had only heard of the old wives tales ect, so I am in no way comparing my situation to yours. I think Lola put it nicely by saying that this baby defo wants to be part of your family regardless of gender..big hugs xxx

Max-Thanks!!
I'm having all of those what-if anxious feelings too! I'm curious/nervous to see if I have placenta previa again...just want baby girl to stay healthy (and also keep myself healthy). One would think by the 3rd baby, anxiety would be reduced, but NOPE lol
Mum-interesting to hear from your friend regarding the name. What are you thinking now that you've heard it? If you love it use it & fill everyone in on how to say it! These days, there's all types of unique names & spellings!! I live in the south where some of our street names aren't pronounced the way you'd think...helps distinguish the locals vs tourists For example "Legare" "Huger" "Barre"
Mommy-triplet boys haha, now that would be a handful! Hope you have twins though
Pbn-glad you're doing well today! Positive vibes!
4blue2pink-we're on pins & needles waiting to hear from laurel who'll find out anytime!
Blue-those are all beautiful, unique names & love how they all end in "a." Love "liana" is it pronounced "lee-ah-nuh"? Reminds me of my "Leigh"
Laurel-any news yet?? Eeeeeek!!
Hmm not sure I will speak to DH and see what he thinks as he loves Daniel
But wouldn't like it quite so much being pronounced as Danielle! He would think I'm rooting for it on purpose because I wanted a girl so bad
If that fails, I could let the boys keep brainstorming x

Kat, how exciting that your scan is tomorrow!!! Cannot wait to hear how it goes. Fingers crossed for boy!!!!
It's my dads 70th birthday and my 3 sisters and my parents are coming in tonight to stay the weekend. I suppose it will be a bit chaotic and I'll try to check as often as I can, but won't be able to be as active for next few days.
Has anyone heard from LMSM??

Feeling so frustrated. The update wasn't results.. it was a new request form as the doctor (not my usual one), stuff the referral. Again. Like 4th time. So here we are back waiting again.
Australian ladies - I've been told gender is included with harmony but not in freaking that you still have to request it? Does anyone know? Thinking I'll call doctors again today to make sure he has done form correctly and includes gender....

Thanks for that! Just got off the phone and he hasn't even requested gender! so they are putting a new request in today. I don't know if it's worth all this stress! I should have just waited for the morph scan!
