My girl sway - hope it was enough - UPDATE - IT'S A GIRL!!!!!!
We just had our big ultrasound and had a confirmed girl. I know everyone said that symptoms mean little but this little girl gave me horrible Morning sickness when I have never had with either boy. I guess I just somewhat thought it had to be a girl. And for those wondering about heartbeat, her heartrate was only 128 today...lower than all of my boys who were 135 - 140. HA, proves that theory wrong ;)
I am only 12 DPO right now and due August 14th.

COMMENTS?
I hope I did enough. I didn't lose enough weight because this was only my first month. Lost 3 lbs. Only 2 lbs lighter than when I had my last son. I'll be very happy with a healthy baby either way. I forgot to mention that I either had the start of a yeast infection or bladder. A lot of cottage cheese after DTD and rephresh. I am really surprised that I got pregnant TBH
