Cassidy, I’m thinking of you and hoping for an overwhelming sense of joy to fill your heart & head. My last one was very similar. My heart raced when I heard girl, then he really showed us who he really was. My pregnancy was rough from that day but we quickly found a name for him and then he quickly stole my heart. I could not imagine life without my little guy. He brings our family so much laughter.
My anatomy scan is in a week and a half. I’m preparing myself to stay calm and be very insistent that the sex not be written down, recorded or even told to the OB. Someone is gonna mess up. I just know it. We are so excited for it to be a birth surprise now. I might just take my headphones and tell her to let me know when she is done going south. Hahahaha. I think now there is part of me that really feels someone is gonna spill the beans before the birth. And that makes me more anxious/nervous than the actual sex reveal. In fact, I told my husband that I am the only one who can go to appts after the scan. If someone slips, it’s going to be to my ears alone. Then maybe I can just hold an incredible secret for the remainder.

Wonderful news!!!!!

Wonderful news Raining!
I'm so sorry you're going through these feeling Cassidy and Raining.
Your experience sounds really awful Cassidy. I would have been broken by that too.

I’m sorry you didn’t get the news you hoped for Cassidy. I know nothing we say can make it better, but we here if you need to talk. :sad:

Well ladies, I feel like the world's biggest, to put it bluntly, idiot. Husband and I decided todo Sneak Peek (it's like gender testing at home we got on Amazon). Got my results today and, wouldn't ya know, came back BOY.

I feel dumb. There is a chance the test is wrong and I'm upset for nothing, or it's right, and I'm upset because it's not what I was hoping for. I wish we had just waited. But we didn't see the harm in it. Now I'm left feeling like, "what if?" And "it could be right." So basically same boat I am already in just now more upset.

Lesson learned for sure. [emoji58]

I’ve definitely heard that those can be wrong - especially if there was “contamination” from your DH or son’s DNA. Hoping it’s wrong for you!

Are you doing NIPT? Or an early gender scan?

Probably an early gender scan (which we should have saved our money for). But we definitely know better now!

I was considering doing this test because so many friends have had success with it. I have definitely heard about the contamination thing which is why I have reservations. Did you clean the area really well and under your nails? I’ve heard there shouldn’t even be a male present in the house while collecting the sample!
