WOOHOO! EmJ!!!! So happy for you!! Congratulations!!
I don't know why I feel this little one is a boy. Maybe it's because it's all I know and all I've ever wanted? Maybe it's a safety mechanism so I can be strong for DH, because along the way I too started to want a little girl. I'm not sure. I do hope that this is a little girl for DH's sake. I know I'll be ok. After all I've been through TTCing, A) nothing will surprise me anymore and B) I'm quite used to things not working out the way I think they will [emoji1]!Quote:

I'll be sure to update when I find out!!

Aida, congrats on your boy! I understand your feelings of not believing it, as I am exactly the same with this pregnancy. I'm still expecting to hear boy at birth :worry::oops::bigsmile:
Just crashingbin to say..Hope its your girl XX for DH !! But so good that you will be a okay with another little boy, either way I'm excited to hear! Xx
:kiss::kiss:I agree with Bura! There is a massive pink storm here and all around me. I know double or more the amount of people having girls. I was at Nordstrom shopping in baby dept yesterday and overhead another customer telling the sales girl that her daughter was having her 1st girl after 2 boys today and that her best friend was having a girl in August!
I totally think it's something in the air and if there's hope for me there's hope for you Rosie, Kesh, tarasue, & Xx.
I was also wondering if there were any boys in here. But I guess not. Crazy!
Sorry again that you didn't get your DG Bura and Srg. Please don't think I'm smug now. I was thinking how much I've learned from getting the opposite of what I wanted. I love my DS1 but he is a challenge to say the least. I feel like DS2 had to be a boy to prove to me how amazingly wonderful boys can be, contrary to what I previously thought. He is the light of my life!
I am so shocked and happy and a bit scared(so is DH about a girl, even though he wanted her too. He is real scared about wiping a vagina!) We are excited for the new adventure.
Thanks again gals you all mean a lot to me. :kiss:
It just seems the pink dust has to settle. There is no way there is enough left for me!! Haha. My non sway really hurts my chances so if anyone gets a boy it will be me!
So so happy for you!!! Huge congrats EmJ!!
I feel the same way too Rosie! Especially since I started out not having a preference, but somewhere along the way I found myself thinking it would be nice to have the experience of having a girl. I just really want a healthy baby!Quote:

This baby moves differently than my boys did. My boys I felt jerky movements like they were jumping around. This baby likes to roll! I always feel like I'm losing my stomach on a fun roller coaster ride! It always makes me giggle! Of course I feel the gentle pokes, but these rolls get me every time [emoji4]!
I'm 13 weeks today! Yay!

Xx bring us a nub shot next tuesday!!! -throws all of her pink dust in the air-
I dont know Rosie.. Srg swayed more for blue and so did i we still got pink... Who knows what it is but i am thinking (and hoping) it affected your "non sway" the way it affected our sways.. Time will tell and just know im eager for your baby to make their appearance almost as much as im anticipating mine just to know if the dust really did settle....
The thing i did have going for me is the fact that i had 2 miscarriages and a chemical before i got pregnant and my period was more heavy and irregular than ever. I had always had very light cycles. I also made sure to fast and dh had been taking ole but not super consistently anymore at that point.
All my weight was was 6 months prior though which is too far out and we had too many attempts which makes me believe it will be a boy!
From my 12 week scan, the tech guessed boy.... But said it was still early to tell for sure. I'm holding on to hope that she was wrong....Quote:

Her husband isn't on board with Cora, partially because our name is Nora, but it is really upsetting me that she would do that! If I am having another boy I won't care as much if they go with that name, but every time she mentions it I can feel my heart rate skyrocket and I had a mini panic attack and could hardly breathe this morning when she told me her 3 year old is calling his sister Cora! Sorry to vent, yet again! I told my mom how I felt and she said she is sorry that it obviously upsets me, but she doesn't think the names sound anything alike?!? I know she is just trying to keep the peace, but Nora and Cora sound like great names for twins, not cousins that would be 10 weeks apart! That just sounds like someone couldn't come up with their own name to me!! I know I could be fretting over nothing, being my chances are this is another boy, but it's really upsetting to me!

Tarasue, you have every right to be upset - they are very similar! When you get your girl, no matter what anyone else calls their bub I would stick to your guns and have the name that you have always wanted... it might seem a little strange for outsiders (but who cares what they think right?) when they are new babies, but as they grow up and into adulthood I don't think it will matter at all :)Quote:

I'm sorry you are going through this Tarasue! Maybe you could try talking to your sister and tell her how you feel. Maybe she will understand. If not, then by all means use your name. FWIW, I like Nora way better anyway!
I've had that happen before too, but now looking back, my boys' names are way better anyway! I have NOT told anyone our names for a girl or a boy. 1) to avoid all the rude comments people seem to make and 2) I don't want someone to steal/copy it! It's highly doubtful on our girl name though- it is a word name, because I have a word name. They actually go together nicely [emoji4]! DH is on board but is being stubborn on the middle name. I told him I don't care as long as my name I picked out is the first name [emoji14]!

Tarasue- that is really lame of your sis. Clearly she got the name idea from you. And I agree with Immi, stick to your guns on Nora. Again, no one else will make significant connection with cousins having similar names.
I don't like talking names with any other pregnant gals (this doesn't apply to you ladies) or people closely related to pregnant gals for fear of them stealing my name. Of course the nasty comments and opinions too. It's a rough road! Everyone's opinions on your family makeup and the names you give your child! Poor kid's not even here yet!
Rosie you still have a chance, I'd say my sway was very lacking towards the end. The biggest factors for me were the Femara, my weight and breastfeeding. Possibly my DH tight undies;) you never know. Any little bit (like the miscarriages) may lean in your direction.
Atomic sagebrush- thank you so very much! My OB is pretty famous in the crunchy community here, I'm sure you've heard of him! Excited to be on my 2nd VBAC journey! So grateful for all your help!
Tara, I would also be upset. She obviously got inspired by your name. It sounds like her husband has more sense than she does. That said, I know of some girl cousins born a month apart, called Melina and Celina :D Their moms are also sisters, like you. Everyone laughed about it in the beginning, but now nobody cares. People get used to things. But I understand you would like to avoid the situation in the first place of course!
Thanks girls, I just really needed to get that off my chest. The only reason I had the name discussion with her was to make sure we didn't have the same or similar names picked out in the beginning, I never thought in my wildest dreams she would change her name after the conversation to something similar, or I obviously wouldn't have told her!!!! My sister isn't that kind of person, maybe that's what it upsets me so much, is I thought we were good on names, I had mine, she had hers. Anyway, thanks for your support girls, my husband thinks it's a pretty lame move on my sisters part as well, even if my peacemaker mom who is always sunshine and rainbows doesn't see the issue....

Tarasue you have every right to be frustrated! You stick with your name regardless of what sister calls hers, I'm sure it be absolutely fine and she knows it was your name all along so there be no surprises or her saying you copied her!

Tara....i actually had the name Nora on my list. My cousin used it. Then my other name on the list...greta...my other cousin used. It is so frustrating when people take what we want. I personally think it wouldnt be awful to have a cora and nora in the family. Names are easy to rhyme...only so many variations. Do what you want and what makes you happy no matter the situation!
I am a name hoarder. I never tell anybody names I have picked out for the above reasons! On that note- seeing I don't live next door to any of you ladies- I am tossing around Nora as well. I like it. Short and sweet.
[emoji178]
I have loved the name Nora since i was a wee little girl and heard a group called blessid union of souls sing their song about their grandmother named Nora...title of the song even... But as beautiful as the name is i couldnt ever bring myself to use it myself. Beautiful name tara and if you have your girl i say go for it regardless of your sister. Ill be humming her a lullaby all the way from here the night shes born lol
Probably fretting over nothing & will find out in 3 weeks if it's a girl or boy!
Tess is my other girl name. If it's a girl, we wanted to wait and see what she looked like before we decided. Light hair like ds1, we would name her Nora. Dark hair like ds2, name her Tess.... The only boy name I like is Hudson, and I know my husband will veto that[emoji16]! I will stick to my guns if it is a girl, my sister had fair warning and we chose the name before they did, we will see how all this plays out[emoji6]! All this girl drama, and I don't even know if it's a girl. Do I really want more girl drama in my life, or stick with the smack down problem solving of boys[emoji12]

Hey ladies. I don't post in here much but try to read along. So we were team green but DH wants to find out and I think for my own mental health it probably is better to find out now then at the birth. Anyway our scan is in 2 days and I am freaking out big time! I'm so scared to know, like once we know that's it. The bubble is burst. Right now it could be a little girl inside me but in 2 days I'll know and if it's a boy I'm not sure how I'll take it. I'm trying to prepare myself but I just feel this one is a girl and sooooo many people want it to be a girl but I don't want to think about it. I want to know but I don't want to.
Things that make me think it's a girl are I had worse morning sickness this time, I've got heaps of acne, I have a smaller bump but it's sitting higher and I feel like it's more in my bum and I have craved more fruits then meat this time. But I know this means nothing. God I'm scared [emoji53]
Mars it's the scariest thing ever waiting to hear but I def think it's best if you find out! It gives you time to accept whatever is coming. When we got pg I initially had regrets because I wondered if I could accept another boy. Then we went for an early scan (before could tell gender) and the minute I saw baby jumping about in there I just knew that I would be happy with a girl or boy. Don't get me wrong I would have mourned the daughter I would never have but would accept this was my fate and live with it. Nevertheless we found out this is a girl and it's taken me months and months to believe (still can't some times) I have a growth scan on Tuesday so will be thinking about you at your scan on same day. I hope your scan brings you the pink news you want to hear, sending you lots of pink vibes hun xxx

Thanks KTF :) I know I'll be ok. It took a long time to come to terms with DS2 being a boy but once he was here and now I wouldn't change it so I know it will be fine and a boy will fit in fine but I so desperately want to hear those words "it's a girl". I just have to keep saying what's meant to be will be. Even thinking about finding out makes me feel sick [emoji53]
Exciting and scary Mars!
If you hear boy, know that several of us have been there, hearing DS3. It was difficult, but I made it to the other end and absolutely adore this little man of mine :awe::diaper:
Mars- I hope it's your DD! I'll be stalking for sure!

Mars, dont wanna give you any false hope, but the morning sickness and acne was also new to me in this pregnancy compared to my son and we are having a girl this time.
KTF have had the same as you not daring to believe even the scan at 14 weeks which was clearly girl. However had a scan again yesterday cause i couldnt stand waiting to see if she was okay (since i couldnt feel any movement and started to stress) and she is still all girl.
I think we have hit a pink storm/tornado in this group and i dont think it will lay down yet. So fingers crossed for all of you waiting for your gender results.. [emoji120]
I sure hope the pink storm/tornado didn't miss me! I just can't believe we could have a girl. I have convinced myself that this is a boy, and we picked out a boy name we both really love. It took us so long to come up with names for the boys! I sure hope the results of my BW are in tomorrow! That way I can confirm them with my scan on Tuesday!Quote:

Mars that is so exciting! It is a hard wait. Keeping my fingers crossed for you. We are all excited to hear your news, girl or boy!
I was really thinking I had to have a boy and we picked out a name (which we've never done before baby was here). I'm still in shock she said girl at 16 wks 6 days. I'm still a tiny bit scared that consensus will change in 9 days at our big scan.
Good luck! Keep busy tomorrow!
Xx- yay! Can't wait for your results! Exciting to know their in!!!! Can't wait to hear!!!
Fingers crossed for you both!
:fx: for Mars and XX!!!
Thanks ladies. If it's s boy I'm going to need a bit of support. I love my boys but I feel so strongly this could be my girl.
We are here Mars whatever the result xx

Thinking of you Mars good luck hoping it's your girl Xxx
I had a very vivid dream last night that this baby was a boy. I couldn't help to be excited, because we were told the baby is healthy. DH was mad at me because he thought I was happy for another boy. As time went on, DH became very distant with me.
I'll need some advice from those that had GD on how to deal with DH, if this is another boy. I'm a naturally happy person- a glass is half full kinda lady! I can always find a way back to center and remain balanced, even through tough times. But this is not something you can teach someone, especially in the moment. DH took a while to bond with DS2, and I fear it will be worse if this is another boy [emoji20].

Xx when should you hear? It's such a difficult thing to deal with GD as you really can't control it. Def harder when it's dh and you want to give him what he wants but it's out with your control. Best thing to do is wait till you know for sure as you may be worrying about nothing and it's a little pink pudding you got in there! Is there still no news? Can you not call up and ask as sometimes results are sitting on a desk somewhere?? Really really praying for a girl for you Mrs xxxx

Thanks KTF! If I haven't heard anything by this morning, I'll call before lunch time. The nurse called on Friday to remind me of my sono tomorrow morning. I asked her then, and she said they didn't get them yet [emoji53].
I'm trying not to stress, but I just want to know!! I'm sure I'll have a good idea of the gender tomorrow, since I'll be 13w 5d. Sigh

Xx- for what its worth... I had very vivid dream this was a boy too.. Right down to swearinh i could feel his chubby little weight in my arms and smell his baby smell and wearing a blue hospital cap and everything... So far its all girl.... only advice i can give is if it does end up being a boy as much as you may want to jump for joy at the happy and exciting news of a healthy baby, instead give your husband a big hug and comfort him if he seems sad or withdrawn. You are still early enough along that if you focus on dh's feelings he mAy come around before the pregnancy is even over. My fingers are still crossed for him i know guys who crave that father daughter bond... Some of the best men i know so i am really hoping he gets his wish
Repost from the other DD thread.
My dream was partially right- I just found out that we are having a healthy baby BOY [emoji170][emoji577][emoji843][emoji602][emoji170]!! I'm so relieved, I must say. I was sad thinking I may not have another boy! I told DH and he was so happy [emoji4]! He said he was stressed thinking about having to care for a newborn and having to learn to care for a girl. He said he wants to be done though- four just seems too much! I'm so excited!!! I simply love our boy name we picked out [emoji4]!
