Due in December/January/February 2013/14 Part 2!

Thanks ladies. I've heard how the slightest error with measuring can throw stuff off like crazy so I'm not too concerned. My doctor fully brushed it off when I asked her and reassured me it's absolutely nothing. I was just worried she want another ultrasound which I don't think I can deal with again. Being team green makes you read into EVERYTHING the person says. This week when we went the lady told us to look away because she was going to check things out and while she was clearly seeing what was going on she said "so you already have two, what do you have" and I said "2 boys" and she says "Ooohhhh, the suspense must be killing you then" and obviously that means nothing.. but DH is like "why would she say that if she's staring at a penis..." which ya could be a little weird seeing as how it was so upbeat how she said it... but I also think some people are just dumb! (Like when you have another boy and people say "aw, too bad it's not a girl" or "looks like you have to try again") I'm convinced it's got to be a 3rd boy though so even with the last ultrasound lady saying "she" and "her" I just assume it was a slip.. like when people call all dogs "she". I just feel like we will both be so stunned and confused when it's not a girl because literally everything is pointing to it being a girl. The world would have been really messing with us! K, can this baby just come now so we stop torturing ourselves! LOL!

How far are you now? I'm 35 weeks now and honestly it was so difficult for the tech to measure anything as its seriously cramped in there. In previous scans I've always asked for the sex and this time I didn't as it would have been so so tricky to find. I doubt very much she would have even attempted to look and am pretty certain nothing would be obvious. It was hard enough for her to get the leg measurement... I looked at the screen the whole time and didn't even get close to seeing anything gender related!
I can't believe you've managed to stay team green, amazing!!

This is true! I was a day shy of 36 weeks and the baby is really tight in there. She just said she going to look at the legs etc. so if we don't want to spoil anything to look away but it was up to us. So we obviously looked away just incase, but you are right.. things are SO tight I doubt it's that obvious! I can't even believe we've managed to stay team green. It's killing us at this point though!!!

Boy:

Possibly boy nub (angle?)
Craving meat
DH possibly saw boy bits (scrotum)
Cold
Headaches

Girl:

Spotty
Very sick
No willy seen
Sonographer's comment
Extra anxious*
Craving sweeties and fruit
Much bigger this time!


I'm a lunatic! I really think you have a great chance of hearing girl Hun xxx

LOL! I'm right there with you! I seriously think I've gone nuts! We've never had a pregnancy with such a large amount of girl "signs" but I guarantee that's why it'll be a boy.. we'll seriously be in shock because there have been way to many things to imply girl.. but nothing concrete obviously! Oh well.. any week now we'll know - almost 37 weeks and starting to freak out a little. There are a few people that we know don't want us to have a girl.. so I think in the end that will be what kills me the most, that when they come to the hospital to see our boy they'll be all happy and giddy that we didn't get a girl!

I feel like you have a great shot. I've heard everything resets after #3 so I think it's prob your girl :)

Hey ladies, just thought I would share a great deal with you! If you go to Carseat Canopy and use the promo code `PTS12` you get the canopy free and just pay shipping. Also, Udder Covers has a free nursing cover with the promo code `THANKS2013` and Seven has a free sling with the promo code `carseat` you only pay shopping, all together, if you get them all, you spend about $38, and save about $120. I ordered the canopy for a little over $12, so excited to get it.

Thought I would share this with you ladies also, I am from the November due date group.

Hi ladies just wanted to share a recipe that I found after having clary sage oil recommended to me by a midwife friend. I've just made up a bottle of it ready for using in my hands or feet during labour:

50ml carrier oil (sweet almond etc)
10 drops clary sage oil
10 drops lavender oil
4 drops fennel oil
4 drops ylang ylang oil.

It does smell rather nice when blended! My friend said that inhaling clary sage is an excellent way to help with contractions so I'll give it a go. She used it with both of her children. It's not particularly cheap though at nearly £10 for 10ml. Still a little goes a long way. :)

Urghhh! Officially got to the fed up part of pregnancy now... I'm 36 weeks but always two weeks over due. The thought of another 6 weeks is too much!

How are the rest of you holding up?

Pretty sure I'm at that stage already at just 27 weeks! I have a really bad stomach bug the kids passed onto me and I have not felt this horrible in a long time. But even before that, I am just so over not being able to bend, having a bad back etc. Mind you since I have to have another c-section it's not like ending pregnancy will help that, there is a whole other 6 weeks of recovery on top. Sigh.

BUT we all know it's just a means to an end and every day whilst simultaneously grumbling about pregnancy I am thankful for it. This one was a lot of work and heartbreak to get, and I am very glad to have her! Doesn't make the process much easier though. 10 months of pregnancy is sooooo long. I think it feels like 28 months since we were trying for 18 months prior!!
