I was driving to work this morning and the song "Shake it Out" by Florence and the Machine came on the radio. That's a great tune and I was tapping my fingers along until these lyrics came along: "Well, I'm damned if I do and I'm damned if I don't so here's to drinks in the dark at the end of my rope. And I'm ready to suffer and I'm ready to hope, it's a shot in the dark and it's right at my throat." That pretty much captures how I'm feeling right now and my eyes welled up with tears. I've spent hours obsessing over u/s pics, this is the first thing I think of when I wake up and the last thing I think of before I fall asleep. I feel like I'm faking normal behaviour during my days, trying to look like a sane and rational person who isn't consumed with something that is so out of her control. I'm a total headcase these days and I don't know who else I can tell.

Ahhh Jadis honey I know what you are going through. I am 5 days behind you and I keep bouncing between "there is NO WAY this baby can be a girl" to "Man I really hope these gender guesses were right" to "I am going to be so disappointed if I have to give this adorable girl outfit to my cousin". My hubby saw the girl outfit I ordered from Zulily and his mouth dropped wide open. He was gushing over it and I saw the hope in his eyes for our little girl. He has been contending this whole time that he wants another boy but after seeing the cute girl outfit, I think he has had a change of heart. Oh Jadis...what are we going to do girlfriend? :shrug:

Well ladies, I am back from my elective u/s and the tech said girl. So it looks like I will have two daughters. It just confirms that we will do PGD when we freeze embryos. I think I will do some retail therapy tomorrow. The upside is that my daughter will have a sister AND girl clothes are so cute!

Bama,

Two of the same gender is so much fun, and convenient with clothing! Your daughter will love having a sister - I wish I had a sister!
You are so right, girl clothing is super cute.

Congratulations!

Nice to see you on here, hope you are well & happy XX

I don't know what we're gonna do...I guess we'll just be batsh*t crazy together for now. Honestly, it's just nice to know that I'm not alone. I'm amazed that you've bought anything, I've been so tempted. I found the cutest little girly sleeper today and held it for awhile in the store. I even started walking to the register but I turned around and put it back on the shelf. I don't have anyone to give it to and returning it would be so painful. 8 days and counting for me...13 days and counting for you. tick tock tick tock.

I'm going nuts here too girls. I can't sleep properly. I'm so overtired as I was awake a lot last night. I have an ultrasound tomorrow as doctor confirmed I'm measuring 3-4cms big for dates. So having a check for multiples as there are heaps in my family. I'm so freaking nervous. I'm excited that my dream of twins might be realized but scared also and don't want to get my hopes up. If we do have twins I'll probably be very tempted to find out gender. Although I will only be around 13 weeks tomorrow, but might get a nub shot. I'm so nervous and excited and scared. First pregnancy I've ever measured big for. Just trying so hard not to get my hopes up. I have about 27 more hours until ultrasound and am going crazy. If it's not multiples and just one baby, better to find out now then go on hoping. Either way will be good to get some answers. Good luck to everyone else stressing up baby gender etc.

How exciting Violet!! Definitely get some numb shots so we all can stare at them:) GL and give us a update tomorrow!!

Attachment 7979

Sorry I can't rotate pic for some annoying reason but here's a belly pic. Meant to be 13 weeks or thereabouts.

I just spoke with Mum and she thinks I'm probably just having one but it is likely a girl. She said she measured big and carried differently with her girls then her boys.

So I think I'm a bit more prepared for perhaps just one, but a bit more hopeful that it could be a girl. Oh I wish I didn't care, but I do.

Sorry if I look a bit mean and cranky. All this wondering is stressing me out and making me lose sleep. I look pretty crappy right now.

DH can feel baby kick now. Thought I'd share this milestone.
Good luck to everyone with their scans coming up.
