Are you wired PP??
Yes... and I need something to do. I haven't had this much sugar in over 6mths.
PP - I've been sneaking a mini can of Pepsi most afternoons lately - it just helps give me a the little kick I need to get me to the boys' bedtime. :oops:
By the way, I'm so FREAKING excited! DH has agreed to getting a scan on April 5th on our way to my mother's house for Easter!!! I found a second place in Toronto that says they'll do gender scans 'after 17 weeks', so if that other place won't take me, I'm sure they will. I'll be 16 weeks 5 days, so I'll just lie and say I'm 17! :oops:. I've already completed the pre-booking form online and am hoping to hear back from them soon. YAAAAYYYYY!!!!! The countdown is ON!!
My only worry is that if I hear boy, it's going to be hard to enjoy my Easter weekend. Then again, maybe it will be a good distraction since I always love seeing my Mom and I *think* my one brother who tends to make insensitive comments about me having nothing but boys won't be there (I love him - he just tends to get really rude when he drinks too much wine). If I hear girl....my heart races even thinking about the possibility!! I'll spend my weekend shopping for pink!!! :bigsmile:
Mocho - I hope you hear girl. It would make for the best weekend ever. And you would have a reason to buy some Easter Dresses on clearance for the next 5 Easters ;)
wow that is so exciting its like getting your present early!! I really hope and pray you get your girl, sending you all my pink baby dust!!Quote:

I got my 16 week appointment next week even though I'll be 14 weeks to meet my consultant early and plan out the pregnancy and discuss blood results. I'm a bit nervous but really glad and grateful that I get to meet the doctor and discuss all my fears and anxieties with them early.
OMG OMG - I just booked a gender scan for April 5th at 1pm!!! The place I booked doesn't nclude any pictures. I asked if I could pay extra for one and she said no. Another place I called said the same thing, so maybe that's common practice up here with a gender scan? They explained it away by saying the baby is too small, they wouldn't be able to get a good shot and it would take time to get baby in the right position. I said I just wanted a potty shot and they thought I was crazy and basically said no. One place said I could pay extra for a DVD, but that place didn't have any appointments available on the day I want. I forgot to ask the place where I booked if I can pay for a DVD, but I definitely will when I get there.
What do you think? Should I worry about not having a picture to share here so you guys can help confirm the gender? As I said, it sound like most places here don't give pictures with a gender scan, so I'm not sure I'd get one even if I went somewhere else.
At this point I don't think I want to cancel the appointment. The allure of finding out in less than 3 weeks is too amazing! Having an actual date to look forward to makes me feel sooooo much better. I'm just a little worried about hearing girl only to have that girl grow a penis by 20 weeks!
I think go with it hun and when you have your hospital 20 week scan you can get some scan photos and share it with us then, orrrr you can always take snapshots with your camera or phone from your DVD that you purchase and share those with us?
I'd just go with the first app Mocha!
Yes, well I HOPE I can at least get a DVD, though they'll think I'm crazy when I ask - the other place definitely did. Maybe I'll call them tomorrow to ask about it. I'm just worried about putting all my trust in one tech's opinion, but at the same time this time and location work perfectly for us, so I really don't want to give up the appt...
Of course I'm now already terrified thinking of how I'll react if I hear boy again.
I completely understand your fear!!
Part of me worries finding out early will make it worse if it's a boy...but then again, it gives me more time to move on and less time wasted on dreams that aren't going to come true.
Why is that? I don't get it...Quote:

Here all privates places will give you bunch of cute pics 2d and 3D you can get a video too. That's why we are going there ! To have special memories.
The baby is to small for a good shot? That's just not true I got a very nice scan and pic at 16 weeks.
But if it all ok with you just go! Don't worry about not posting a pic here .You can get pic on the 20 weeks scan for sure!
Yeah, I know it seems a little weird, but elective ultrasounds really aren't as common in Canada as they are in the U.S. In fact, I'd never heard of them until I was pregnant with ds3, and even then there weren't any places near where I lived where I could have gone. In the past year or so new ones have started opening all over, but most won't give a gender scan until after 20 weeks. There has been a lot of high profile news coverage up here about women getting early gender scans then aborting when they find out they're not getting their desired gender, so there's even been talk of outlawing early gender scans altogether. Of the 8 or so u/s places I found within a 2 hour drive from here, only 3 would even consider doing a scan before 20 weeks, and almost all said right on their website that they don't give any pictures with a gender scan. Part of it has to do with the fact that they only do the scan in 2D, I think, and the whole thing only lasts 10 minutes. It's also waaay cheaper than the 3D packages - only $60.
I don't think I'd gain anything by going elsewhere - this seems to be the norm here. It's not a huge deal since I'll be seeing my baby again a few weeks later anyway, and I'm also planning to book a 3rd trimester 3D scan this time I'll look forward to that - you get the bells and whistles then, even here: pictures, DVD, internet broadcasting - the works.
ooh same day as my dating scan! :)Quote:

Mocha, you are so desperate to know, I would just keep the appt. It seems to fit so well with everything else you have going on.
Hobber, thanks for the reassurance about the thyroid.
PP, I like the pink cake idea.
Auroara, :bighug:you always make me feel good.
Hi and bye everyone else. I am going on holiday first thing in the morning. Home next weekend. I doubt I'll be online much, if at all. Take care and I'll ask for a summary of events when I get back! Aah, time for pizza.
Peony, sorry about your thyroid results. Do you have an enlarged thyroid at all? With both of me pregnancies my thyroid hormones have always played up and then they settle down again after birth. Hopefully it's the same for you. Enjoy your holiday!
Happylea, so very sorry about your granddad :( It must be so difficult on all of your family. Marjorie sounds like a bitter old woman :(
PP, have you tried metamucil? I used to have to take it every day with my first pregnancy otherwise I would get constipated.
Mocha, yay for making a dating appointment! Very exciting. $60 is pretty cheap. The cheapest we can get it for here is $150 at 16 weeks but that includes a 30 minute u/s and dvd. Think I will end up doing this.
Is it possible to show this early on? I'm only 8 weeks but having trouble holding my stomach in when I suck it in. It just won't go flat like it used to!
Go for it Mocha. Maybe bring your phone--will they let you snap a pic of the screen? You could always ask.
Bumblebee--I am sorry you still feel sick. I still do too, but it is mild. I am having a problem not wanting left overs--I eat something once and can't even think of having it a second time. I also get really hungry but then everything either sounds gross, or I want to eat everything in sight. Weird.
Bec, I have looked pregnant since the moment I POAS! I am huge now. I didn't have a flat stomach before, though. I have a big ol' pooch!
I was hyped up on sugar at the time... 123 is theme people do in a kids room!Quote:

I found a place that claims they can do a 14wk gender scan for $60. I am thinking about doing it but I would have to drive 2hrs 1 way. Maybe if I tell DH we can go to Red Robin after he might go for it..... they just wrote me back and say they have been right 95% of the time with a 14wk-16wk scan. hmm should I do it?
I'd be tempted, pp!
Same here! Bec is lucky.Quote:

I can leave the kids with Grandma just incase I have another break down.Quote:

BUT with both you only get a few black and white 2D pictures, and get to view the 4D only briefly while there. In total, it's 15 min appointment as well.
Purple- you just need to go and you be happy earlier!
Im so angry :mad: this pregnancy doesn't even feel real yet Im not even 5 weeks we just worry about another m/c and I have cravings? WTH seriously I will be a whale ! I want chocolate and burger and "real" cooked food and meat. Also some salad .
I just hope this is because Im so early and soon I will be like others don't really want to eat nothing!
These early weeks are such a worry hey Flava!! I am sure everything is all fine with your little seedling :)Quote:

That's why I haven't been on in a while. I did take the day off today and we went to an early gender scan and found out its a girl!! We are so very excited! I hope you all get your desired genders as well.
Congrats Jamie! That's awesome!!
Congratulations Jamie!!!!!!
At least you want mostly healthy stuff! Protein and salad is good!Quote:

I am making corned beef and cabbage and potatoes for dinner tonight. I was going to make a cake, but the kids voted for homemade ice cream instead, so we are having homemade raspberry ice cream. Talk about fattening!!
Wow, Jamie - what fantastic news!!!!
I wondered where you'd gone - I'm glad you came back to share your news! I'm finding out the gender on April 5th.
Congratulations Jamie!! :cheerteam:
Jamie-congrats!!:celebrate::DD::celebrate:
I don't know how healthy is this...just came home from a BBQ place.:sigh: Actually I figured out why I want burger (normally i don't eat burger) well I want it because of the BBQ sauce on it! There is this one BBQ burger in Beef O Brady's and that's the only one I want. Smokey bbq lol great for me ...Quote:

Flava--You buy it already "corned"--look at the grocery store. It is a cut of brisket that is brined and seasoned, and it is a weird pink color. Then you boil it until it is cooked, and throw potatoes and cabbage in the pot until done. :)
The BBQ burger sounds awesome! I LOVE BBQ SAUCE!!
I craved bbq at the start too!
tell me now you only eat a little salad lolQuote:
