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.

When DD3 was revealed to be a girl I told the truth, that DH was sad for a day or so because he wanted a boy but we were slowly getting excited now about having three girls and we were overall grateful that the baby was healthy. People are generally much more interested in their own lives and I think if you're honest then there's no drama and just another healthy baby to celebrate.
Admitting that we were a bit (transiently) disappointed meant that most of the comments were supportive.

Diva, you are gorgeous and look very trim. My 13 week bump looks bigger than that.

Thorz, those pics are stunning.

Fish, I'm sure an NHS trained tech who presumably does high risk scans wouldn't have made a mistake with the gender. Good luck for Friday though.

WAG, better to get it fixed, even with anaesthetic than have it get worse whicle you're preggers. Aren't tooth/gum issues risk factors for prem labour?

And hi to everyone else!

My DH has gone away for 5 days, I've family staying who will help but DH has been doing the night wake ups with my wakeful one year old and getting up at five with her when she's up for the day. I'll be shattered by the time he comes home!

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. :)

Im the same Diva, I read EVERYTHING too!! But in bits and pieces with 3 kids constantly at me the moment I look like Ive stopped for more than a minute! Im sure we all know that feeling!! I love this group too x

Or should I do the whole pic in black and white or all in color?

LOVE LOVE LOVE this!!!! I think def in black and white with just the babies shoes showing colour....Such an adorable idea x x

I asked the dentist if I could wait till the baby is born and she said if I want and jacked about pre term labour and she said thats only a risk with gigivitis... I took antibiotics when I was 10 weeks to get rid of the infection so the infection is gone.... And I also feel like she is just using me as a guinea pig cause she doesn't know what's wrong...she said if the root canal doesn't work I will have to get my tooth pulled and I will have to get an implant... This dentist also told me antibiotics won't kill the infection but they did... I'm having lack of trust... And I can't just find another endodontist she's the only one in town

Can you get an opinion from a dr or something? It's awful when you don't trust someone especially while your preggie

Thorz black and white with coloured baby shoes I think ;-)). I hope pinky ones!

I'm feeling brighter this morning but scared dh coming home is going to mean going through all the emotions again ;-(

Love u ladies

Northern how's the mutt?

I have my prenatal today but I'm pretty sure I will be seeing a fill in dr... Which is like talking to a brick wall...
