September 2013 babies!!

I just did a plain pregnancy plus gender announcement all-in-one on FB (with an ultrasound photo). I wish I could have something way cuter and I hate to admit it, but GD was getting the best of me. :(

Fish -- so happy for a great ultrasound for you! I can only imagine how bittersweet it must have been. I'm stoked that it looks like you might be getting your little girl, and what a special girl she will be! Can't wait to see what name you will pick for her and for her brother/sister.

Thorz -- I feel so bad for your hip problems. Pregnancy is already hard on your body when you don't have any health issues. I hope the pain will hold off for as long as possible.

I really want to scroll back and respond to everyone but I have to run. Just know that I read EVERYTHING. I just don't always get to reply to everyone individually. I do love this little group of ours though. :)

Aww diva I hope your feeling okay :( its not fun feeling sad :(

It's def hard keeping up with this thread lol ... I love everyone here too :)

Ok I played around with it. I think that when I take the shot of the real thing, I'll have the boys IN their shoes so you can see legs, but they weren't in the mood to play "photo shoot" today lol this is the Idea that I think I am going to do....... Or should I do the whole pic in black and white or all in color?

Oh Thorz, those are adorable!!! I DO like the b&w with the baby shoes in color. Normally I am not a big fan of that (f.ex. in wedding photography) but here it's done in order to send a message and I think it's perfect!

I just got back from the endodontist and they are gnna have to d a root canal :( I'm not very happy at all...I have bad memories of how uncomfortable they are and I'm pregnant I don't want to have anesthetic in my body

Thorz that is a super cute way to announce it on FB... might have to seal that one from you. I haven't announced anything yet on FB however, on Valentines day I took a cake into my Mom's work and the cake and filling were all pink inside. it was kind of a pain because I had to make extra sure there wasn't one single pink crumb in the white frosting!! My Mom didn't even know I was pregnant and she thought I was bringing in a Valentines cake for the office. She was so surprised about the pregnancy and he gender I don't think she got any work done for the rest of the day:)

BTW, Dean is our last name... not what we are planning on naming the baby:)

That's cute! I wish I could do stuff like that with people in person......I miss my family!!

Wanting-a-girl I'm sorry about the root canal!! That's not fun at all.

Fish, I'm SO happy for you! It would be a bittersweet thing to hear, but lovely to see bubba healthy and thriving in there too. I'm glad dh is almost home too and you can lean on each other.

Thorz that's such a cute idea! The whole concept is brilliant!

Wantingpink, that's so sweet, I bet your mum was over the moon at it all!

WAG, commiserations on the root canal. It shouldn't be painful though if that's any consolation, more just boring sitting there with your mouth open for so long.

Diva, I'm thinking of you. Telling people is something I'm dreading too.

I haven't decided about telling yet. People know I'm UTD, and everyone is asking if well find out at the morphology, and if we'll share. That was part of my reasoning in having the gender scan, so I could process the news in private first rather than being bombarded with questions straight away, so as far as I'm concerned, it was worth the $100. Now I'm still not sure I want to have to deal with their responses, whether jokes, commiserations or whatever, so I'm wondering about telling them that baby was shy and wouldn't flash, then they can wait til the birth, and by then I won't care a jot, and everyone's comments will be wrapped in the awe of a newborn baby.

I feel the same way, I'm not sure i want to share the news right away if its a boy, because I don't want to deal with the comments! I might just say I don't know yet. No one knows we have a scan booked for next week except my hubby and you ladies!

I'm not sure about sharing if its a boy we won't I'll be happy I know and I'll tell my mum as she was with me today when they said probably girl other than that I would keep to myself, both boys were team yellow so still feel a bit odd about everyone knowing even if a dd ;-s
