Cniss! Congrats on you boy! That's such a boyish looking scan :)
My cousin and his wife finally found out what they are having, baby was being stubborn last week... It's a boy! I feel bad but I am happy it's a boy. It would have stung a bit if she got my girl, goodness does that sound selfish...
Yes please I'm liking this trend!
Thursday the 8th is my 12 week scan, hoping I get a helpful tech that will gladly give an opinion / take lots of shots...
if not then its only a 3week wait till our gender scan on 1st of Dec :)
Your DH sounds so sweet :)
Havn't had a chance to catch up on this thread yet but hope everyone and their bumps are well...
My elective gender scan is the 8th too!!! Lassie maybe that day will bring us both some great luck!!!
Congratulations Cinss............I am so happy for you! I pray I get the same news in a few weeks..... Yay for a boy in a house full of girls!:xy:
NC, having a plan always helps! I did that a lot when pregnant with DS2 and it worked--I did get my DD! And it really helped me when he was a newborn too...that we still had a chance at a DD. Now I'm feeling so greedy and selfish--I really want DD to have a sister and I can't get the idea out of my head (not now....or anytime soon!) but while I'm at work I'm already trying to pinpoint what would be the best time to try for my fourth and final baby. I'd like to try to plan the next one to be born around Feburary (don't know what year yet), becasuse a lot of my friends who didn't sway got a girl born in Feb. Plus I have a thing for birthstones, and my fave color is purple and I think that'd be a nice birthstone. (Yes, I think about these things wayyyy too much, lol.) Like I had thought thru with DD's potential birthstone of sapphire and how lovely that'd be for a DD to have, if she gets into the birthstone stuff. My birthstone is diamond (April is my birth month) and I hated it growing up lol, cuz it didn't have any color to it :P
And well, I think Dec. is a great time to TTC a girl, I guess I'm partial, since I got my DD from a Dec. conception..Sept is a nice birth month imo. I'm very happy with how it turned out.
OK, well, I think I talked enough crazy in this thread....
3men and Lassie, good luck on your scans on the 8th!! I so hope you get a good nub shot Lassie, and I hope you get great news that 2nd DD is on her way 3men!!!
mrshoneyz, I also do believe in our kids being meant to be with us. That thought gave me a lot of comforting when preggo with DS2 and then once he came...well, I can't imagine him not being here, even tho he is such a mischievous little boy!
I love having a plan for things...it makes me feel grounded! #4 will absolutely be our last baby so I really feel better about having #3 and #4 closer together. Then we can move out of the baby stage for good and it will be easier for me to say we had an "oops". LOL! It does seem like BF'ing and losing weight, getting no sleep does sway pink so who knows. It will make for one great last final sway.
My BFF has a baby due in Feb and she is having a girl :)
LOL I'm glad you said that about BFF having a girl due in feb...I don't know why, I think there is something magical about Feb, maybe because it's girl swaying peak season? (I believe it would be a May conception, if my math is right?)
Besides I think Feb. is currently a dreadful month...I get so tired of winter, and I think having a child's bday be in the Feb might change my perception of it and make it fun, something to look forward to after Christmas is over.
I would def. consider a Feb baby for sure but work has me nervous. I do work from home so that is awesome, but I have to save up 40 hours of PTO to cover first week of being out and then I have to have another 6 days (48 hours) to cover 100% pay for the next 5 weeks.
And then, if I want any time after that, I have to save up another 40 hours per week. With DS1 being an October baby, I had so much time saved up that I took the full 3 months off of work and with DS2, I was able to do the same thing. This one being born in April, I might only be able to take 2 months. But, it doesn't really matter in the scheme of things so I will just have to see what happens!
My BFF is 7 weeks ahead of me...I got preggo end of July.
