JUNE/JULY/AUGUST 2014 DUE DATE CLUB - THREAD #3

Bunny, I can't wait to hear all about the reveal, I am excited for you, I bet everyone will be overjoyed :)

Momto3, I love that picture!!!!! That is the best one I have seen so far lol My Dr didn't give us a picture but he was trying to tell my husband about why she is a girl and DH told him that he already knows what a vajayjay looks like lol!!

Dreams, now I AM hoping your friend has a boy! That was really mean and inconsiderate of her to say something like that.

You know, I had struggled about posting the results on my FB page because I have friends who are still struggling with GD and I wanted to be respectful. I am not plastering it all over FB and I am not being mean about it either out of respect. But I also think that almost all my friends are over the moon for me and are happy I am having my DD, especially after the struggles I have had the past few months with moving and hubby and this pregnancy.
GD is one of the worst things that can happen to a woman carrying a child. It debilitates you and it gives nothing in return, it just takes and takes and takes but in the end WE as women triumph over GD because sooner or later we love our little ones to death and can't ever imagine life without them and that is what makes us stronger :hug2:

Our little man - 25+4. A little sleepy but quite a thinker - spent most of the scan resting it's chin on it's fist. He even opened his eyes for a little whih I really wasn't expecting until at least next week! I think for now he takes after daddy...

It's hard to know how to deal with this well. Have you picked out a name for baby yet? If so and it were me, I'd maybe post something along the lines of "expecting baby [name] in August" and leaving it at that rather than the "OMG!!!! A GIRL I'M SO HAPPY...". Short and sweet and not too dramatic. x

Going back tomorrow morning hopefully get to find out what we are having.

Sorry to gate crash but that is SO true GM and brought tears to my eyes reading it. I also think it makes me/ other women who have experienced GD love our children MORE to somehow try and make up for those initial feelings... Thank you for posting that Hun and congrats on your princess :) xx

Dreams - I am so sorry. It is hard enough dealing with not getting a deeply desired gender and seeing little girls or boys to get that ache going in our hearts, without having someone - let alone a friend- make it worse. Hugs to you! I don't know her or what she is thinking but maybe it was such a sigh of relief that she got what she deeply desired that that is her way of covering it up? A sway is just a chance of increasing the odds of a certain sex, and for some, esp if they were doing complete opposites of what sways a certain sex it can work - but not always. There's so much more involved!! You just be happy and proud of your precious little baby boy!!

Gafan - hope you start feeling lots of love and connection to that sweet little boy! Grease is so right....GD is terrible. That's what I'm afraid of the most if this one is another boy. I know I will love him to pieces, but I don't want to constantly have that ache inside for a girl :( I hope you have a complete change of heart soon and have some peace and not get caught up with GD!!!

Gpkm - good luck! Can't wait to hear! :)

Love the pictures! I tried to upload our picture of our 10 week peanut afterwards but it wouldn't work. I'll try again after our 20 week.

I have an idea of how we are going to announce what we are having...but unfortunately it works best if its a girl lol. I'll have to get more creative if it's a boy. For most people, it will be the first time people have heard our news. (I think anyhow, my brother-in-laws wife is not too happy so she's working on spilling the beans for us..grr).

Not much new here, just trying to be patient for our ultrasound! I have definitely felt more movement this week so that makes things a lot more exciting. :) The past few weeks it's mainly just been quick flutters and such.

From2to3 when's your scan?

Bunny, I already made the announcement on Wednesday when I came home because I had sooo many others waiting to hear back. Pretty much everyone knew it was a girl I guess except me so it wasn't a shock to most lol

And yes, we have settled on a name, this little one will be named Cerafina Mae :)

that is s cute Grease! I love the way you are spelling it too!
