I am not an expert but it's not a very clear boy.
Thorz -- I am stunned. So the tech was 100% confident? to my eyes, the first picture does indeed look like a boy. When I got my scan there, the tech was able to show me that it was a boy, not just from the potty shot, but also the profile view. But I was a a tad bit further along than you are.
I really understand you need your time to process this and may not even be ready to talk much to us. I just want to send you some big virtual hugs. Of course, any baby is an enormous blessing and you know that. So I won't refrain from congratulating you! I am sure this baby boy will be just as adorable and handsome as your other boys.
As you know, this is our last baby as well so I am all too familiar with that feeling of finality. Hang in there...we are here for you.
My very good friends dad died this morning, which made me realise how lucky ladies we are to be bringing new lives to the world soon no matter if a boy or a girl. It's a miracle we can give a life to someone.
Thorz, I'm really sorry you didn't hear girl ;( I'm a bit worried though as that first picture isn't very obvious, and didn't look dissimilar to mine :$
Ladies thank you! I'm going to be ok, I am giving myself today to mourn the loss of the daughter I will never have! I think I have cried it all out already, DS2 who is barely 4 saw me crying, and it broke his heart, (he has NEVER seen me cry before) so he got all teary eyed and ran up to me and said, "Mommy I will hug you all day until you are happy and I will never let go until your tears are gone! But be careful because crying makes your boogies come out, trust me I know, I cry a LOT"!!!! That made me laugh through my tears! I have the sweetest boys! He has practically been by my side ever since we got home and when he does go off to play, he keeps coming back to check on me to see if I'm happy! I truly love my sweet boys and I know that this little one inside of me will be just as sweet and I will adore and love him. I know that this baby, regardless of gender, is MY baby and meant for us!! I will be ok I just really need to cry it out because, I NEVER imagined my life without a daughter, and now I have too.
As far as the scan goes, she said she was almost certain! But certain enough not to give me a free redo. I'm confident that is a boy and I will plan accordingly, I cannot hang on to hopes that it might be wrong. If it ends up being wrong in 5 weeks then I wont be disappointed, but I do not plan on anything changing! I do have a friend that was told boy at 14w5d (which is what I am technically) and it ended up being her 4th girl, but those are generally rare cases so I am not holding my breath, I need to move on with my pregnancy and prepare for this little man!
Thank you so much for your support! I posted the boy shoes on facebook, I was going to wait, but then I decided it would be better to do a generic public announcement then try to skirt around the issue when people ask me individually, this way they don't have to ask me about the gender, most of them will know!
Sorry you didn't hear girl :( but you will be okay... I was really rooting for you!
Thorz you have a wonderful outlook and I can tell how much you adore your boys! That little DS of yours sounds so darn adorable. You are one lucky mama and you're going to always be well looked after with such sweet boys as that! Congrats again!:celebrate:
