I like bigger families to. I have 4 sisters and 3 brothers. Although I never would have thought I would have more than 3 kids when I was younger but now I couldn't imagine it any other way. And I am so glad it has worked out this way. Kids are such a blessing. My parents have 25 grandkids and 5 great grandkids so far. I also look forward to many grandkids I think that will be fun as well.
Pbn I'm so excited for you! You would be he first here to find out for sure gender

Pbn - that's exciting about the results coming back soon. Could find out in 3 and a half weeks time but hubby is team green and doesn't want to know. I feel he doesn't want to look disappointed at the scan and fearful it's not a boy because he contributed to my sway as well and worked so hard himself (didn't touch a drop of alcohol for 5 months), always had tepid/cool showers, always commando for like 5 months. Tried to eat more throughout the day (although sometimes he got too busy with work and would miss meals).
So we're team green again until the end.
O how exciting pnb3 !!!

Dancing I cant find your sway? Can you post a link to it please? And you're making me lean towards team green again so thank you ❤ I feel that while I don't know I'll always have that wonder and as soon as I know everything is so final. I'm not sure there's anything that can compare to finding out birth and hearing that 'it's a !' I will never ever get the chance again and I'm afraid I'll be so disappointed for taking that moment away if I cave.....

In regards to being team green, it really was like in the movies and an awesome moment. Going through everything and at the end you're like "what is it?" craning your neck and then hubby and I both screamed "it's a girl!!!" and then she started crying harder because I think our yelling frightened her hahaha.
It was so much fun!
Hi & welcome momoffourboyz! I'm glad you've joined us! You sound like you have an excellent shot at a girl! Did you post your sway awhile back from your first successful sway? I'd love to know what you did & what you believe worked!
Ash-how annoying is that from your aunt naming her dog Stella & making the statement she was sorry for stealing your name, when yours is clearly different! Estelle is beautiful!! Can't wait for your appt so you'll know for sure either way about your little blessing! Love that some of your fam is already buying you girl stuff!!!! [emoji175][emoji166]
4blue2pink-thanks! The name really does have meaning for us! Sorry for my loooong post earlier. It's just an all around annoying situation, but I know I should focus more on other things & not let it get to me! Hope you find the perfect girl name! Do you & DH have a hard time agreeing on names?
Pbn-thanks for that b/c that's exactly how I'll feel switching the name...like I settled! And I didn't realize that you got a good look at the nub....woohoo for girly looking! Ohh that's so exciting! Have you experienced being team green before? It did make that day extra exciting. Of course, we all can't wait to hear though--ohh the suspense!! Another blessing either way [emoji173]
Dancing-try not to let it get to you! You have a great chance at blue, I'll even give you my blue dust [emoji170][emoji12]! I know what you mean though, I was worried after posting my sway that I'd overanalyze everything. I just keep reminding myself what is done is done! I am the exact same way...a perfectionist to the core & I'm worried that I'll feel like a failure if it doesn't go my way. The wonderful ladies here have brought me back to the reality of the matter...that in no way, shape or form could another tiny human being be a failure. It's mostly the comments from others that get to me!
So, we've been at a cookout/pool party all day & we did share our news with the ones who didn't know. There's a couple with 2 boys. The husband said there's no chance in the world, it's definitely another boy. The wife said she hoped it was a girl so that I'd pass down my boy clothing sets lol. She said that if it's another boy though, I'd have a house full of boys that worship me ��I do like her response better than her husband's lol.
Awww what a beautiful story 😀❤ and yep that's exactly what I want!! Especially being a c-section it will make it all the more special for me! I would've had that with ds2 if not for the sonographer slipping at my 20w scan. Even though we didn't confirm I just 'knew' from then on and it was no surprise at his birth.

Ash I meant to comment earlier that my MIL adopted a dog who had the same name as me and didn't change it 😐😐😐😐 I have never said anything to her but I've always wanted to adopt a cow or something that has her name 😂 as Lola said Stella is totally different to Estelle - looks like your aunt will be lining up in my slap-a-thon 😂😂
Lola *sigh* when will the comments end 😩 the sooner you know gender the better!!
Also with the nub it also look boy a couple times and because bub was moving so much I have no idea whether the girly or boyish look was accurate and which was just looking a certain way from bub moving 🤔 so definately just as much in thedark as I was pre scan 😂😂

I will list off the things that I did to sway for my daughter in 2014. I wasn't eating any breakfast cereals or breakfast either. I would have a small meal at lunch and one for supper. I had significantly cut calories protein and meat and beans. I lost weight before conceiving. I wasn't taking any vitamins. I was still nursing my son. I chewed aspartame gum. Cut out a lot of processed foods and processed sugars. Not completely but definitely cut back. My husband abstained before we did the deed 2 days before ovulation and only 1 attempt. Also he had gained weight and wasn't taking any vitamins. We were both under a lot of stress at that time. He wore tight under wear and took hot showers. And no big O for me. We concieved in june and i hadnt really been out in the sun much. I was underweight at this point.
For conceiving my boys I will list off the things that I did when I got pregnant with them. First i would make sure i would eat a big bowl of cereal for breakfast and take prenatal vitamins before I got pregnant. I ate a lot of meat, beans, nuts, cheese and yogurt. I also did opks and always did the deed all the time and always on positive opk. I also always had the big O with all of the attempts leading to my sons. I went out to eat quite a bit. I used a alot of salt and snacked all day. ( i had a really fast metabolism so I was never overweight but definitely a healthy weight for conception). My husbasnd wore boxers at that time and didn't take really hot showers.
Thanks for your detailed info!
My sway is very much like how you conceived your boys so hopefully! The only thing I did was cut all refined sugars (I have PCOS so I found that somewhat helped my cycles to be a little more regular but still about 5-6 week cycles) and I didn't get really any sun leading up to O week because we had a cyclone but I did try and get a fair bit in the months and weeks before conceiving.
Lola we have a hard time agreeing on girl names but boy names have never been a problem for us
sorry to everyone who is having to deal with stupid comments, this is one of the main reasons we no longer announce the pregnancy and just announce when baby is born, that way if anyone wants to go ahead and hate all over a newborn announcement then they can go right ahead and make themselves look like a complete asshole..
there honestly is no pleasing people, i got the all-boy comments constantly then i had a girl followed by another girl and now get all the "big family" comments.. does my head in and this might sound horrid of me but a part of me thinks these comments come from some sort of jealousy, seen as people with large families of their own are only ever happy and excited for us, we have never had a single negative comment from someone with a large family.
@sumbal when is your nuchal scan?!! Must be close now! Will you ask for a nub shot so we can nub-sess over it?!😀

Dreaming - I think your sway helped plan my sway!! It sounds good to me!! I did sneak in dessert a few times a week and was only on it for 4 weeks so I think yours is probably better in those regards [emoji5] We, also, got pregnant the first cycle trying which really surprised me bc I'm 35 aka advanced maternal age [emoji849]
Pbn. Today was your appt? Did you get the results?
I will definitely ask for nub shot if can get. Hope to see the doctor in a week. I will be 12 weeks by that time.

Mommyoffourboyz-thanks for all of your great info! Sounds similar to what I tried to do...so we'll see!!!
4blue2pink-that's very smart...def makes them look bad making rude comments when an adorable new baby has arrived! I believe you're so right...people get jealous over your big, happy family!
Kat-we got pregnant first cycle with both of our boys!! Just saying...[emoji170]Can't wait to hear [emoji170]
AFM, yikes....I had a dream that I was expecting a girl....don't they say you dream in opposites [emoji20] I really hope there isn't any truth to dreaming opposites! It was a weird dream...somehow my mom knew before I got my bw back. She was on the phone and said "it's a-" then paused forever & I started crying and saying please just tell me. She finally said "girl," but then I was so confused as to how she would know before me & completely doubted it. Then couldn't reach her on the phone again when trying figure out how she knew.... lol.
Lola- I head that too- when you have a dream about a certain gender you end up having the opposite. Well I had a reoccurring dream with this pregnancy and the baby was a girl. We are having a girl! I hope the same thing happens to you too!

Oh XX-that makes me feel so much better!!! Thank you!!!
Ok you guys, my online tracking of the Panorama NipT says it's ready but waiting on my doc to release the results. I'm resisting the urge to call them right now but it's so hard. Maybe I'll wait a couple hours and allow them to get their first morning coffee before bugging them. Ugh!!!!

Just talked to my doc's nurse. They don't have the notification from the provider so they are going to call them and get a copy, review and then call me at some point today. It could be all day, ALL DAY, before I hear back.

I hate that dreaming. Keep your phone close because what's worse is when the call back when their phones are already off for the day and you miss the call [emoji36] ..... mine does that!

fingers crossed for you dreaming :) so exciting!!
I guess I'll go ahead and join in. I've been here for a while and didn't think I'd end up in this DDG, but pretty happy I've been lurking now :cool:
I was actually out on vacation when I realized my period was late and it was killing me not being able to test. I bought a cheapie and it was negative, so I thought my days were just off. Came home and bought 4 more tests right away and was in denial for 3 days since it was just a faint positive, but the last one finally got dark so here I am! Still kind of in shock and not sure what to expect. We have three boys :3kids: and I have a strong feeling this is a girl for some reason. I did start swaying since April, but towards the end I got kinda relaxed about it, even though it did make me change some boy-friendly habits. DD is 3/7 by my calculations. :fingers::XX:
Hi babypink! Congrats & happy for you to join us! Have you scheduled your 1st dr appt? Fx for pink!
Dreaming-What time is it where you are?! I keep checking for an update!!!!
Welcome babypink hope you get your girl this time. Did you sway with ds3?

It's only 11:21am. I'm in California. This is going to be the longest day ever.
Welcome Babypink! Fingers crossed for you!

Thank you!
Lola, I haven't made an appt yet, I'm actually doing that right now! Ash, I have never swayed before. I meant to before DS3, but he was an early surprise. Now that I look back at sway factors, I had a very blue-friendly diet. I think just trying to do a pink sway made me change my diet drastically, so even if it wasn't 100% girl-friendly, it was definitely less boy-friendly, if that even counts?
Ugh Dreaming - your 2 hours behind me, this will be the longest day ever [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]
Welcome, babypink!
I'm totally staking Dreaming!! Sooo, if you haven't heard from them by 4:00pm your time- call please!!
