Thanks so much for the wishes and finger crossing girls :)
Means so much to be thought of xo
I've had sooooo little sleep, tossing and turning all night, it's the final countdown now, 2.5hrs to go !!!(it's at 9am Australian eastern standard time)
Mrshoneyz those pics are super cute, thanks for sharing :)
It's still hard not to obsess though... I know it's a boy, but if I cover the penis part, it almost looks like the other part could be girly... I'm sure I'm just crazy though lol! I just hope he comes out normal! I just need to stop looking at my pictures and analyzing every line or dot! But I really am excited about having 3 little men in the house :) plus deciding in the future how to go about trying for our last.
Thanks Lassie, can't wait til you come back and update!! I don't have any pink dust, but I'll cross my fingers and send you girly vibes!!
Hey ladies. Question for you...anyone thinking of going ht for their next baby?
I want to look into sperm sorting, but not sure we could afford ht!
I don't know if my crazy brain is just being ridiculous, and I've never thought of having another baby, nevermind ht. But my dd, who is only 3, doesn't seem happy that this baby is a boy. And even though I'm sure she doesn't really know what she's saying, I know what she's saying. And it's bringing my gd back. I've tried so hard to give her a sister, and ended up giving her 4 brothers. She's so outnumbered. And all I keep thinking about is the saying, a daughter is a daughter all of her life, a son is a son till he takes a wife. And then I think about when dh and I are no longer alive...will my little girl feel like she's in a big family, but feels so alone...sorry ladies. I know some of you don't have dd's. I would never try to hurt anyone's feelings.
I would but seems so complicated and expensive not sure realistically it's an option for us. But would so love to have that guarantee of a dd, if I knew it would defiantly work first time I would save like you wouldn't believe!!! xxQuote:

I don't want to get your hopes up, but I personally would have another scan just to be 100% sure.Quote:

Some are really close to their mums and others aren't so I figure the more boys we have surely the odds are at least one will stay close to his family! I think you will find your boys will be very protective of their sister and will always be close to each other so try not to worry too much about that.
I always wanted a sister when I was growing up, I have an older brother but he is a bit of a wuss and not exactly a protective brother! Most people think I am the older of the two of us because of my attitude on life. As I got older I figured I would have a daughter at some point in my life and that would fill the gap. I suppose we all assume we can have children, and we all assume if we have two or three that we will get a mixture of genders. That's why it hits some of us so hard when we realise we don't have any control over it.
I bet you will have the most fantastic relationship with your daughter as she grows older, she will appreciate your female company so much! I also think girls tend to be better at having close friends compared to boys so I am sure once she starts school she won't be as worried about having a sister.
We couldn't afford ht and I don't think it is for us tbh even if we could. I just wish I had a magic wand so I could give all of us our desired gender. xxx
AWWWWW he is adorable :) xxxQuote:

Wouldn't it be amazing if lots of us had some lovely surprises come next March, April, May! :) xx

If this is a boy, ht is my only option next
Time for me. I'm not rolling the dice again. I honestly don't want 4 kids as it is... So.. Even the ht stresses me out
I hope it is your dd spinning. If not, maybe we can bounce ideas off of eachother. I don't know wth I'm thinking. Dh has no clue and would probably come right out and say no, but this is something I may not be able to live without. I'm going to reassess after the baby is born. I just with I could be happy with my famiy makeup. I sound like an ungrateful snot.
And wanted your opinion on a name...what about Owen Reid?
You are not an ungrateful snot. :) Really. And I looooove the name Owen Reid.Quote:

And yes we can bounce ideas ! Lol. And maybe you can reassure me 4 kids isn't end of the world.. For me .. I can barely handle 2 some days
I'm feeling good, very tired as ds2 has not stopped and been v busy today. The news has def not sunk in yet, i'm scared they've got it wrong. When i spoke to my mum yesterday, she hardly asked about the scan and certainly wasn't going to ask if we found out lol ( v nervous for me). So i asked if she was going to ask and she replied she didn't want to know. So i just showed her some pink boots on skype, then she started to cry. Bless her. As i'm in denial and refusing to believe, oh has taken matters into his own hands and booked a gender scan for me this sun!!! V nervous xxQuote:

Took me a few seconds to cotton on what he was on about, he read the baby profile bit and assumed it was a part of the baby - haven't laughed that much for ages - i love the things kids say!!!!Quote:

Awwww Wishing that is such a lovely reaction from your mum! So good you have a gender scan so quickly just so you can put your mind at rest, my fingers are firmly crossed that they confirm girl for you. xx
Spinning & Threemen neither of you are ungrateful! We could all be accused of that just for the very fact that we have children at all when some people can't. It is the most natural thing in the world and we all understand. Spinning I can't imagine how difficult all this is for you. A friend of mine lost a baby at around 22 weeks, reason unknown but it was a girl. She already had a son and persuaded her husband to have another, they went on to have a healthy pregnancy which resulted in a perfect baby girl. I hope and pray you get your little princess xx
I would want it all the more too if this happened to me spinning.Quote:

.....Stalking for a Lassie update!

I remember feeling exactly the same I just didn't believe it at all, even now if I'm honest I still have doubts lol! I'm glad your oh has booked a gender scan for u I'm 100% sure u will get your girl confirmed :) we need pics! XxQuote:

He kept hiding it at first and just letting it pop out once in a while, so the shot I have de had to scroll back to get. And that's the only potty shot I have at 22 weeks. She said right before it that it was 'definitely a boy'. The only other time we saw it was when she was up by his head looking down, she said "now he's letting it hang out" but it was very quick. I've been told by 2 techs its a boy, why can't I just believe them?! And I feel like I can't settle on his name either. Here's my photobucket album that has all the pics from this pregnancy: Baby3 Photos by bandbaby1 | Photobucket
I have several potty shots throughout, but they all just seem off to me. At least I'm not having to buy a bunch of stuff this time, just a couple of little things that will be his own, so if he popped out a she, it wouldn't be so bad ;) Ugh I really thought I would stop obsessing after this scan! I'll probably have one more towards the end, so I'll see then I guess lol.
We're dying here Lassie...lol!! Remember, we're a VERY impatient bunch. hahaha
LMBO MrsP!!! Kids are so dang funny! That's too cute!
And thanks hbp, he kept his little hand up there most of the scan, and was snuggling the placenta. So precious :) 3m I really like the name Owen Reid too!! And I hope the rest of you ladies waiting for scans hear the news that you want :)
At least your scan pics give you reason to obsess Mrshoneyz, mine is SO clearly a boy yet I'm still obsessing arrrgggghhhh!! Maybe it is because it is our third? I think in the back of my mind I'm thinking but the odds must have been in my favour to have a girl this time?!
I think I may have talked hubby round to the boys name I like anyway as I keep referring to him as it! Plus I was in tears the other day as we were just having a generally rubbish day, where lots of stuff was going wrong and I think he felt really bad for me!
It's a boy! A very active, very cheeky, so very very cute little boy. I'm head over heals in love with my little man and feel blessed to be honoured with 2 sons :)
Will post some pics later.
Dh is taking us to baby kingdom to buy some blue
Thank for the support girls love you all xo

Congratulations on your baby boy Lassie. Can't wait to see pictures later, I bet he is beautiful.
Congrats Lassie! Having two boys is amazing, it really truly is!
Ya know, I have heard stories where the ultrasound clearly said boy and the ladies even had multiple scans, it was 100% boy all the way not a doubt....they popped out girls! You just never know. An ultrasound can never be 100%!
Aww congratulations Lassie! I'm glad you're so happy!! I bet he's adorable, and I can't wait to see some pics! Have fun shopping!!'
Mummypink, I feel like mine looks obviously boy, but I keep noticing tiny things that make me wonder what if. I agree, probably since its our third! I didn't obsess like this at all with the other 2! Sorry you had such a bad day, it always seems to me that when one thing goes wrong, everything else does too. When it rains, it pours I guess.
You're right Rosie, never 100%! It seems like forever away to find out for sure when they hand him to me, but then again this pregnancy has gone by fast. I have one monthly appt left, then I go to every 2 weeks! Yikes!
Congrats on your baby boy lassie, as Rosie said having 2 sons is amazing your boys will be the bestest friends xx
