Due Sept/Oct/Nov 2016

I'm still nauseous, tired and waiting (ready) for spring! Ha! I'm slowly feeling better, I don't need Zofran every day anymore. I've gotten through the last two days without it but I still take Diclegis at night because that's when my sickness and nausea is the worst. Still very little appetite and food just isn't appealing. I hope I feel better by Easter because we're traveling and that always tends to make me feel worse. I go for the Harmony test on Friday. I'm nervous, I'm 36 almost 37 yo and DH is 38. Hoping all is well. :worry:

I don't trust Ramzi but I still think your latest one looks boy Quinn.

I sent DS2s scan to the gender experts and they said girl but it looks like they just send the same email. They probably don't even look at the free ones and send an auto reply 7 days later!

Sorry to everyone feeling sick at the moment (illness or ms). I'm feeling pretty crappy now as I have a cold but still not much ms.

We confirmed one twin today. The other was not very cooperative despite multiple attempts. Legs were crossed tight the whole time. Attachment 30304

Woohoo! Congrats, Bunnygirl!

I've been nauseous, stuck indoors due to rain, and dealing with a 3 year old who won't sleep all weekend. Good times. :) I did get out for a few min to buy some new T-shirts since nothing I have fits anymore. I swear, I look about 6 months preg already. And I've lost 10 lbs. Lol! Trying not to go hog-wild with a new pregnancy wardrobe until we get past the first trimester and confirm all is still well with little one. Only a week to go! Getting nervous. This is the same week I lost my last one. *nail biting*

Congrats Bunnygirl!!

Lunar Conception Calculator and Baby Gender Predictor at Lunarium


Was this right for any one of your children? It was right for my 3 boys which I naturally find interesting but I do acknowledge that it's most likely a load of crap :-)

You enter your birthday, the time you were born, the time zone you were born in, the time zone the child was conceived in and for start date I just put the month I knew I conceived in, day 1, and the year.

It was right for DS1 and DS2. It was wrong for DS3 though. FWIW, three separate psychics and all the different calendars and calculators were also wrong with him too, haha!


[emoji170]DS1[emoji1379], DS2[emoji577], & DS3[emoji602] completes our family![emoji170]

I can't figure out what that chart is doing. I entered dates and it spits out a list of other dates that don't match up to anything. LOL

Do you go by what was closest? Eg. Ds2 was conceived 6th of Jan 2011 and it says boy for dec 25 and girl for jan 23? He is pretty much in the middle I think.

Ds1 was closest to boy.

This pregnancy is closest to girl :)

How do people make these silly thing up? Haha

A psychic guessed girl for ds2... I don't really take them too seriously!

I have no idea where they come up with this stuff. Entertaining though ha

I don't get how the chart works either. Lol. It has like 10 dates and times with genders listed below the information I input.

I'm still trying to figure it out exactly lol. I guess I read it as the month of conception and next to it the gender stated. For all my boys conception months (for the correct year) it said boy next to it. I'm still kind of trying to figure out what the times and numbers would mean....

So I reviewed the chart again and it seems to be right for my boy and girl and it says this time it's a boy. That would make sense since this pregnancy has been pretty identical to my boy pregnancy. I think I was starting to hope for another girl because I feel some mild disappointment at the thought that this is a boy. Every OWT and guess based on silly theories (ramzi etc) leans boy I think. My gut was telling me girl but I've been wrong both times before. Lol

The Chinese gender chart on The Bump has been right with all my kids and is at least 50% right with this pregnancy too.

Chinese gender chart was right for my first and wrong for my second though my conception date is a bit off for him so who knows.

The planner in me is starting to win out. I went to start packing away winter clothes today and I really need to sort through things and decide what to keep and what to let go. It would be so much easier if I knew what I was having, I could either save my favorites for my next boy or start selling if it's a girl. I honestly don't care either way but we're getting ready to move into a new house in a month and I do not want to keep all of my youngest's clothing from the past 3 years if it's a girl because I have A LOT. At least 4-5 HUGE Rubbermaid tubs of mostly Boden, Tea, Hanna Anderssen, etc.

Has anyone found out and kept it a secret from their DH? I wonder if I could...

I don't even have a desire to buy anything new even if it's a girl so I do think I could keep it from him. He doesn't really pay attention to what I sell (I do most of it on Facebook) so I don't think that would tip him off either because I buy new for each kid even though they're both boys. I wonder if I feel this way because I feel so horrible most of the time (back to taking Zofran today) :( and I'm overwhelmed with moving and sorting.

Sigh, what to do, what to do....

I can't remember, does your husband not want to find out?

I'd still pull aside your favorites for now and start getting rid of the rest.

He doesn't want to find out. I do, but I always do. I'm a planner and I don't like to fly by the seat of my pants! Ha!

Oh man I would really struggle not finding out. I think it would be a lot of fun anticipation but I too am a planner. I have clothes to get rid of and a room and dresser to fill. I understand why you would struggle with that choice!

I am the same. Even if it's not my dg I still need to know, I like to shop. A lot. And I hate gender neutral stuff. And I sew, I like to spend as much of my pregnancy making things for baby as possible.

Is he ok with you finding out or is he insisting you dont? I couldn't do it, I'd have to tell him to shove it :-p

Another peak at my bean today :) Still doing well with a HB @ 164! A bit of a wiggle worm too. Entire u/s was less than 1 minute long (just checking for HB) and arms were reaching, legs were squirming and head was bobbing away lol. It makes my heart smile every time I see that bean is dong well or hear the HB on doppler. I honestly didn't expect to get this far so knowing bean is doing well makes me so happy. We have another appt in a couple weeks for testing and such, then an appt with OB @ 14 weeks and if I can make it to 17 weeks we will officially have passed the latest point where one of our bean's hearts stopped too soon. Seems so far away but feeling the tiniest bit of hope we might actually make it :)

That is great Two! I'm so happy your little bean is doing well :)

Unfortunately not so great news for me but I have a separate post as I don't want to bring down this thread:

Best wishes to everyone for healthy happy pregnancies. I'm really sad I won't be here to share the journey.

Oh no purple! We were due date buddies:( I'm so so sad for you.

I'm so very sorry Purple. I'm also sad to lose you from our group but can't imagine how much your heart is hurting. :sad: Please take all the time you need to care for yourself. I'll be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. My heart hurts for you and I hope someday if you decide to try again you get your beautiful rainbow baby.

I don't mind not shopping (and I'm usually a shopper! Ha!) but the idea of trying to sell all of these boy clothes with a newborn baby (if it's a girl) overwhelms me! I don't like clutter and I'm not a pack rat. I like to keep things simple and only keep what we use so I would like to purge now if I need to. He doesn't mind if I find out, he understands. I think I might find out and then just not tell him. I also wonder if the boys would bond a little better if they knew if they were getting another brother or a sister as they are really excited about a baby joining us. I emailed my doctor and told her to check the box to indicate gender. She said it would be 1-2 weeks before we got the test results so I still have some time to think it over. I wish I enjoyed the element of surprise more! LOL ;)

Twointow I'm over the moon for you!!!! I hope all continues to go well, it's such a beautiful sound and sight to see that little bean thriving. :)

Oh purple, ((hugs)) mama. I am so sorry :-(

Crd5ed- we weren't going to find out because we are too scared to hear boy (it would be our 3rd) but then I keep thinking how nice it would be to get rid of all our blue clothes in the attic if it's a girl and I could buy girl stuff!!! I have heard of several people finding out and keeping it from their spouses or other family members.

So happy the bean is staying sticky! How wonderful to see so much activity. :)

Anyone else feeling antsy to get past this 1st trimester? I was doing ok the first 2 weeks after my dating scan as I've been busy but now that I'm on the two week countdown again, I'm really ready to see the munchkin again. Also, I'm WAY ready to feel better.

Guilty. Esp since I seem to be feeling worse lately, not better :/ I am 10w 1d and had to fight the gags worse today at work than ever, terribly sharp cramps all day today and outside of work I have almost literally slept ALL DAY. Finding J's (Boy or girl, baby will have a "J" name so we are just saying baby J or J now instead of bean) HB on doppler helps with the times between u/s to calm my worries but I still find myself counting down to the next milestone... but I'll likely do that for the rest of me preg due to losses making preg feel unsafe. Now I am waiting until April 5th for my appt with my high risk specialist where they will do blood work and an u/s. After that I'll be waiting for the results. Then I'll be eagerly waiting passing the 16th week (when our first angel passed although we didn't find out until much later). The 20 week scan and so on. *sigh* BUT I am beyond eager to finally be out of the first tri so maybe I can start feeling like myself again and start feeling Baby J :)

I can't even fathom having endured losses because that must make the first trimester even scarier..it's already stressful and just so draining especially with little ones already in tow. What happened to your little one that passed at 16 weeks? I know that's a fairly rare occurrence. I can't imagine how heart breaking that was. I had a friend who lost hers due to placental abruption (sp?) At 15 weeks and she was a wreck.

Thanks. I can relate to your friend. There is something particularly cruel about lossing baby after you reach the point where everyone says the threat has passed.

Honestly we don't know anymore. For years we were told anencephaly. However, last year a specialist looked at all the records and said there was no evidence supporting that diagnosis, and in fact there was evidence against it. Basically, between when he passed and when we found out his body had deteriorated to the point that no conclusive diagnosis could be made. Our original diagnosis was just a guess based on autopsy results so scewed by deterioration that it was incorrect.

I'm ready to be out of the first trimester!!!! I've had to stay away from message boards because losses were breaking my heart for the moms and then making me feel worried. I have one more u/s with the RE on Monday when I'm 8.5 weeks and then I'll see my regular ob at 10.5 weeks. It's so hard not to worry and my symptoms come and go. I could have gone for an u/s today and I'm kicking myself for waiting until Monday.

Has everyone announced to their families? We are on Easter so I'll be almost 10 weeks. We bought the girls cute shirts to wear. http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...abd168b19e.jpg

Yeah I've tried to stay away from boards too. We have to remember that loss really is not the norm but because women want to (and should) band together during times of loss it seems more prevalent online. Pregnancy is such a beautiful but stressful time imo. Anyway, we're on break next week for Easter and will be having a party on Easter with an egg hunt that contains bits of a picture that give the surprise away. It's going to be really fun:-) Those shirts are super cute!
