I keep thinking that the U/S is wrong and it might still be a girl. I did see what I thought was a penis, but I saw no scrotum!!! I saw DS1's Frank and beans as clear as day and I had the U/S at the exact same point in the pregnancy.

I saw that a girl's clitoris and labia can still be swollen and look like a penis at 15/16 weeks.

I believed it was a boy right away because I had a feeling and because of my crappy sway...

Ugh. My anatomy scan isn't until Jan 6th...

I hope it was wrong for your sake Lissa! After my 12 week scan I searched the internet high and low for pictures that looked similar to my sono pics that ended up being girls...I didn't find any lol. I work in the NICU and I have known of 3 babies in the 4 years I've been there that were told boy and they came out being girls. You never know I guess[emoji136] I will be anxiously waiting to hear your official sono results in January!!

Officially in the 3rd trimester this week!


How is everyone going getting prepared for their new arrivals? I still have to get the nursery painted and set up, although she will be sleeping in our room for at least 6 months but it is nice to have set up for clothes and probably day sleeps. I'm hoping my dad will be able to paint for us since DH won't have enough time off work.

---

Wow 3rd trimester already?! How exciting!!

We painted our old nursery dresser and crib this time around, I bought baby bedding already and have quite a few nursery ideas, but just need to get the motivation to work on them lol! I want to paint also but it just sounds like so much work haha!! I'll post pics of our nursery once we get it all together, prob about a week before the baby is due! [emoji51]

Does everyone have names picked out yet? I would love to hear them!! We are pretty set on Conrad, the kids have been calling him that already so I doubt we will be able to change it at this point! It's hard to pick out a name when you've already used your favorite names on your other kids! If we have another boy after this he will prob go nameless forever lol, I do not have any boy names left that I like! It's sad to think I might never be able to use the girl name we had picked out[emoji17]

Aww Conrad is a great boys name. We have decided on Cian for our baby girl pronounced see-arn. None of my kids have middle names, like me.

Want to say I sympathise so much with the boy name thing, they are so hard !
I have asked DH to come up with some, and I will have a look, but he keeps coming up with boring ones.

I knowwww!
It's so easy to find a girls name, as girls can be cute forever.
Cute boys turn into handsome men, my Mum likes the name Teddy for a boy, but Teddy on a 45 year old business man...I don't feel it's cute !

Teddy can turn into Ted or Theo.

I only have images of his head and feet and hands. Body pics. No images of his goods. Hahah. We only saw what looked like a boy part very quickly. Too fast for her to get an image. And....she was in a rush!!

Because I was late and she had a big gender reveal party to do right after me.

I don't think it's wrong. As the chance of it being wrong is like under 5% or something, right?

I'm looking for confirmation. And so is my husband. Looking forward to the scan to see if baby's doing as well as he seems to be doing with all the squirming he does! Hahah!

We have a name picked out. We keep all our names secret. I'm sure that annoys people. We choose really unique names and they are open for a lot of critique and critism. Haha. Not to say any of you will criticize. It's just a tradition of keeping it secret.

I'm also really bummed that we won't ever use our girl name. It was so perfect. 😔

I'm intrigued too.

We made the mistake of sharing our fave name.....and people put us right off.
So now names will be top secret to real life people.

I don't know how your dealing with this Lissastick, I have the gender confirmed by genetic testing and I still doubt it, but u/ s scans can be wrong and you had it done pretty early, most places near me won't offer a gender scan until 18 weeks. I was told at 20 weeks that ds1 was a girl and that was from a detailed scan. If she only took a quick look I would be booking a scan asap, you could be trying to process these emotions unnecessarily x o

I know what you mean...
But, Mother's intuition is pretty darn accurate scientifically. I have had the STRONGEST feeling that my sway failed and that I was pregnant with a boy as soon as I saw my first positive HPT. I had no doubt in that moment.

I trust feelings like that.

That is why I immediately accepted the scan. I'm thinking back on it now because it's strange and because my husband AND son kept giving me doubts. At this point, my feelings aren't unshakable because of my disappointment.

I'll wait patiently for the anatomy scan. I am 99% sure it will confirm boy.

And if I am somehow wrong and they made a mistake, I might go through GD of losing the son I thought I was getting!!!

I agree about intuition but I read research that suggested if a mother had a strong gender preference that interfered with her intuition! X

Yes. I read that too, but I always took that as it would be wrong if they predicted the gender they preferred. Haha.

I knew it wasn't a girl, even though I reaaaallly wanted one.

Seeing as u like unique names maybe u can help me thinking if some boy names for this one! I like a few but I havnt found one that really excites me and im.like wow I love that name...help

Sent from mTalk

Hunter is a nice name, and was on our list too.

My husband really likes Monroe for a boy, I just think it's too girly (Mariah Carey has a daughter called Monroe).
He wrote a list for me and I'm just meh about them all:
Hendrix
Thorne
Wilde
Killian Wilde
Cortez
Hiro

How About Roman instead of monroe (i would think of a girl with that name to)
I had a name with my second wich DH didn't like.
I found a name that sounded a bit a like. And he loved it and its his beautiful name now

I know what you mean.
Roman is nice, but I know a German guy called that - and he really annoys me !
Blade was on our list too, but again we know someone called that - he's awesome, but it feels a bit odd naming him the same thing as a friend.
I like Atlas, but so many people are using it this year
Maverick was on the list, but then I think of maverick Sabre, and he sort of looks like a potato

Seems like there might be a few nameless babies on this thread lol

A friend of mine is naming her son Smith which I quite like too.

As long as their last name isn't Smith :)


We have a name from when we had a surprise with DS1 so it will probably be what we go with. It is pretty popular though so that is my only hesitation. We might look into some other names closer to the due date but my guess is we will end up using the name.

I just googled unusual boys names.
Bear Grylls has kids named Marmaduke and Huckleberry.
Now that's some unusual names !

I think killian is a good one for what it's worth.

Maverick is on my list atm lol..
What about blaze/blaise?

Sent from mTalk

The names that are popular or unusual her in England are prob the opposite in America and other countries, I also like Hudson which isn't too popular here but I bet it really is in America. We did have the name Aria for a girl from 10 years ago but everyone is naming their daughter that in all countries so don't want to use it anymore x

Sent from mTalk

I only heard the name Aria this year, I put it on our list, top 2 infact until I started seeing it everywhere, it just boomed like Amelia also

Yes I think its mostly the last couple of years thanks to a couple of TV shows x it was unheard of 10 years ago. X

AllBlue : Omg how adorable your lot are ! Blonde boys are the cutest.
Can't wait for your 4 to find out if they're having a brother or sister, they're going to be overjoyed
Where is that photo taken ? It looks really grand !

I do really like Maverick still, and Blaze, Killian is still on the list too Burakoam.
I need to get over the association of Maverick Sabre :)
My favourite name is too weird according to my husband, so he's vito'd it.

I know what you mean about popular names.
Don't let it stop you though, if you have a girl Aria is a stunning name.
