To answer questions...I got one photo...a potty shot- I'll post it later tonight:) It was a real quick scan- think 5 mins or less. Didn't see anything but the bum end of baby which is what I wanted:) The tech said after seeing the 3 lines over and over and also going into 3D to take a look, that she is 100% certain that this little one is a GIRL :bigsmile: I could see that it was a girl too...and after looking at u/s's for the past 5 weeks I feel like a tech!!!! LOL!
I know it was pretty obvious in my nub shots but to confirm at 19w is exactly what I needed for peace of mind:HH:
I haven't bought PINK yet...although I'm going to start a quilt for baby and a few odd sewing patterns! Yay! Girlie patterns here I come!!! I have to be careful(which is why I just have the one pic) buying stuff because other than you guys, 2 very close girlfriends know....and that's it! My husband has no idea that I had this scan! It's a good thing I'm great at keeping secrets! ;) He's really into the surprise at birth and I want him to have that still. I can't wait to see his face when SHE'S born!!!! OMG...I'm crying again....:tissue:
Thank you again to everyone! It was so awesome to read all your sweet comments when I got home :HH: I so hope that everyone gets that "OMG moment".... Z and Princess.....I can't wait for your scans! I can actually, officially send PINK DUST now!!!!! Eeeeeek!!!
WOW, doula,,,,this is amazing!
Will you ever spill it to DH???
I am not sure I could keep it a secret!
Congrats again......!!!!!!!!!!!
What a special day for you!
Congrats DM! Thrilled for you :)
A HUGE congats to you Doula when I just read what you wrote about when your husband sees when SHE is born made me cry . Just fantastic news like winning tattslotto really!
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!
SUPER YAY DM!!!!!:cheer: Just logged into see your update!!! Yay! So happy for you!
So now everyone will be stalking me I take it....oh the pressure!! :bigsmile:
Thank you!!!! I'm just sitting here in some sort of weird state....I know for sure now but it's a little surreal. Did you find this GG? I feel a little detached, I guess you could say. Maybe it's because I have to hide it...who knows. Anyway, I've been looking at girly sewing patterns and I'm absolutely thrilled that I get to make something purple!!!!! AAAAHHHH!
For anyone that wants really cute, handmade baby items...go on Etsy.com It's a hugely popular, handmade market place online and I LOVE IT! I do a lot of Christmas shopping on there to support WAHM's and small businesses. Not to mention...the cutest baby stuff you've ever seen!!!! I'm already looking at the girly headbands with feathers etc for our newborn shoot! Eeeeekkk!
Princess....2.5 days!!!! I'm so excited to hear your news!!!! Girlie dust to you, Mama!!!! :HH:
DD- you reeeeeeeeeeellllllllllly must hide all the girl stuff then from DH! You know what I wish i have this with my DH (only a boy lol but never gonna happen) it's going to be great to see his face when his girl comes out for sure!!! keep that joy for him!
just saw your news DM, congratulations!!!!!!! :D :D
There's no way I could resist shouting my news from the mountaintops if I were you, DM - you are a very strong woman to be able to keep it a secret from dh! Congrats again - I just hope I can experience joy like yours sometime in the not too far future.
DM- so happy for you. Congrats!!! How exciting!!!!
Happy Thanksgiving all!!!
Flava- It's been hidden!!!My hubby honestly wouldn't think twice about finding a girl clothes stash because I've gone out and purchased girly clothing every single time I found out I was pregnant...silly, I know....I have about 5 or 6 sleepers in pink/purple that I fell in love with and had to bring home and he knows that I did this....so if he were to find a stash of stuff I'm sure he would just feel sorry for me. My hubby really is hoping that this one is our daughter. He sees how hard it's been on me, every time.
Sunset- Thank you!!!! xoxo
Mocha- Thank you, again!! I want to scream it from the rooftops so desperately!!! My hubby LOVES the surprise so much and I have found out before(twice!) and kept it a secret from everyone. This time I know he'll be shocked! I want to see his face!! :bigsmile:
( I also want to protect my boys and this baby from the ridiculous comments that I KNOW will be said once they know it's a girl. My third boy wasn't even celebrated by family-mainly IL's(my mom was the only one that was happy for us, and would happy, no matter what it was)...and I know it's going to be so different this time seeing as this will be the first Granddaughter/Niece in our family on both sides. I feel so bad for my boys when they hear those comments:(
Shouldihope- Thanks, Hun!!! xoxox
So here is the one photo that I got :bigsmile: It's not super clear but I'm feeling very positive that is 100% GIRL after the u/s yesterday.

Can I just vent (it's nothing to do with babies!) - I just heard the completely shit news that my friend's daughter who has cancer (do you remember me saying they only found it when she had her c-section?) has discovered that it's an incredibly rare cancer. Nobody has every survived it in this country and only 1 woman in the US. She's in her early twenties and has a newborn baby - and she's going out to buy her school shoes because she doesn't think she'll ever get to do it otherwise. I'm so heartbroken for her and her family.
Sorry DM, we posted at the same time! The picture looks pretty clear to me :D
Btw, I need a pep talk. I've started worrying about something happening to me during labour and wondering if it's selfish of me to want another baby and put myself in that position when I have my three gorgeous boys to be here for. I know it's unlikely and I remember having similar fears with DS2 (as it happens it was him who was poorly and not me!). I'm remembering those contractions near the end when I feel like I'm going to die!!
OMG. I am so sorry. I cannot imagine the pain in her heart ~tears~ How incredibly heart breaking.Quote:

Oh, and I'm sure your labour fears are normal. I think if I do ever get pregnant again I'm going to be a lot more scared this time than last time now that I know what natural birth feels like. And if you had a traumatic birth, I'm sure it's doubly likely you'll be scared. Just remember that every baby is different, and I'm sure after having 3 babies your body's just going to know what to do when the time comes and everything's going to work out fine. :HH:
A pep talk!!? You came to the right place! LOLQuote:

BUT....You have more chance dying on your way to a prenatal appt. in a car crash, than you would if you gave birth by yourself, in a rice patty with NO help. :bigsmile: You will be amazing. The contractions can never be stronger than you, because they ARE you:) Giving birth is a normal, everyday occurrence around the world...it is a normal bodily function, like going poop. We(women) were designed to do it and as long as you trust in your body- it won't let you down. Eat well, get lots of exercise and rest, and have faith in you~ It'll be awesome Z :D
Perfect DM :D Now if you could just make me a track for my ipod saying that over and over again I'm sorted!! (Although wish you hadn't mentioned car crashes, that's my biggest fear ever!). Have I ever mentioned what a worrier I am?! I get it from my mum!
It's almost 9pm and I have DS1 sat next to me because he feels poorly. Every evening for a while he's been telling me he has tummy ache. He's eating fine and seems fine the rest of the time - but I'm swinging between thinking it's nothing and wondering whether it's something terrible. In the end I decided we'll go to the doctor's if he's still complaining on Monday.
Good idea:) xoxo I hope he feels better soon~ How old is he??Quote:

Z- not sure if you saw my above post about the hypnobirthing stuff- awesome course for fears etc and relaxation:)Think about it!
Sorry I didn't see it! I had some hypnobirthing sessions before I had DS3 and have the CD here somewhere. Thanks so much for offering though. I will get in the right frame of mind eventually, I always do. I had some great books but I lent them to somebody and never got them back (grr!). Ina May Gaskin - that was her name (the author not the woman I lent my books to!).
