Part 2: Due December 2017 January and February 2018

Sky-my OB schedules a week early to ensure that I don't go into labor. Maybe the 3 of us will have our babies on the same day-wowzers!!!!
Ash-love that your MIL is saying "she" -I really believe that is what you'll hear!!! [emoji175]Materni21 isn't done until 10 weeks at most places I believe & it's more accurate then...so stinks to wait, but better to have accurate results!!!
Hi Dancing-thanks, excited to finally be in here with all of you! Sorry you have such bad MS. You're close to the 2nd tri, so hope you get relief soon!!


My Ovulation Chart

Lola - We always get the genetic testing done so if the gender part is offered for free since I'm [emoji1411] then we'll probably get it. I'm dying to know, but scared to be disappointed [emoji51] Part of me is like give me the longest time possible to think this is a boy.

Sky - I'm waiting to call until Wednesday/Thursday to make my appointment. Just want to be a little further along before I call and know it's not a chemical. However, my lines are getting darker and I'm feeling more pregnant. But, I'm thinking they'll see me the week of the 26th.

Ash - I'm not sure what we'll do room wise either. We have 4 bedrooms, so right now they have separate (really cute [emoji7]) bedrooms and the 4th is a guest room. Our guest room is hardly used, more so used by my or DH if someone is sick or if he's snoring too loud. I'm thinking we'll make it the nursery/guest room and then make 2 of the 3 share down the road depending on gender and who sleeps best. My oldest (6) is super scared and sleeps in the floor in a sleeping bag most nights. We are going to try to work on that soon [emoji51]

I'm dying to tell my Sis and Mom, but trying to hold out!

Kat-I know exactly what you mean!! I would love to believe this is a girl, but I think the longer I believe, the more disappointed I'll be...as sad as that sounds...so I need to know now!!! I also want to know gender as soon as possible so that when I share the news with fam, I'll have some control when I tell them. I'm aiming to have my 1st appt on July 3 if they're open that day. I'd love to tell fam on July 4th, BUT I won't know gender then ugh, so I think I'll keep the secret going longer...Since you have a guest room, sounds like you have the perfect space! You could leave the bed in there with the crib & find a comforter/duvet that matches whichever theme you go with. It'll be a boy theme of course [emoji170][emoji12] My boy's rooms are so cute that I hate to change them ugh...one has a car theme & one has a nautical theme. DS1 sleeps in a queen bed, so we make that the guest room when we have visitors & he sleeps with us. So get this, when we first moved here, DS2's room was pink....I thought ohhhh maybe this could be baby #3's pink room, BUT I knew if I didn't paint it a neutral color immediately, I'd have another boy lol.

Yes my appointment is in 5 days eeekkk.... I will get the scan at my appointment I'm so excited! Baby should look like a cute little gummy bear by then[emoji4] my back is getting better slowly but I can move around much better today thankfully
Kat ds3 has a seizure last year on Memorial Day and we didn't want to leave him alone so we bought another twin bed and pushed it up against ours and made him sleep in our room for about 7 months to ensure no more and we could have peace of mind. But luckily he is back in his room he's a smart little one though and knows when his dad is out of town he can sneak in bed with me lol.
Lola that's a super cute pink color that was in there I like it! We have a nautical room for our baby Jonah and I love it. I'm also on the fence on when to tell everyone if I wait for the gender results that could be 12 weeks so another whole 4 weeks of a secret and I don't want to keep it that long because I want to enjoy this pregnancy but then again I do want to keep it so I have control of the situation I guess I'll decide Friday what I want to do. If it's twins then I'm sure I won't wait but if single I'll be undecided

Ash-that's exactly what I was thinking! If it's by some miracle twins, there would be no way I could hold that in! For now, praying it's a healthy bean...then will be ecstatic if it's a girl. I thought the pink was really cute, but I knew I had to paint it as a part of the process lol. A while ago, I told my mom that I wanted a 3rd & that I wouldn't tell anyone until I knew gender. She said "even me." I tell her pretty much everything. I said "well as long as you don't say "you know it could be a boy." She agreed so I told her recently when I found out. She seemed excited, but I could feel that "you know it could be a boy" vibe even though she didn't say it haha...maybe it's just in my head. So *WHEN*(thinking positive as a part of the process lol) I hear girl, I think that would have a more positive effect when telling family

My Ovulation Chart

Could everyone give a recap on how many weeks they are and if they are showing? Am just trying to catch up [emoji7]

I've lost about 6lbs in the last week so no maternity clothes yet but not sure how much I can hide it when I go back to work!

Pbn I was using opks only I didn't realise dates could change that much (like nearly 2 wks) at a scan, especially if you know the date you dtd!?

Ash/Lola - WAIT! Y'all are considering not even announcing you are pregnant until you know if it's a boy or girl?? How far along would you be? I'm impressed. I'm trying to wait until scan/8 weeks to tell my family and then 12 for the world (including work). But, I might tell my boss after the scan at 8 weeks bc she has me on that trip to Miami in November which I'm scared to go on. And just ask her to keep quiet until I'm comfortable. I'm really dying to tell people now though, yes I aware it's to soon, so we'll see if I last!

Art - I'm 4 weeks so def not showing [emoji23]

Lola - love that room!!

Oh and can we please stop with the twin talk [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

Ash - will you tell us since we don't "know" you!! I just really think this is your girl [emoji175]

Artisam I will be 8 weeks tomorrow. And I do have a food baby! I've gained 7lbs but not showing.
Kat we have told our parents and that's all I have planned to wait until I find out gender but I'm getting impatient so we will see what my scan looks like Friday and decide then if we want to tell. I think it makes it easier not telling anyone since I have all you to spill it to [emoji23]. But I have been on the loosing end with weight for a while and running a lot but since pregnancy I've not been running as much and have gained so it's only a matter of time before anyone notices. I don't think I will get the results from the gender test until 11/12 weeks so I'm sure I'll be showing by then since this is my 5th pregnancy. I'm just going to play it by ear and see what happens! I honestly hate to say this but I do feel like this one is a girl for some reason. I'm scared to feel this way (and won't tell anyone else but y'all and dh because I don't want anyone to think I'll be upset if it's a boy. It scared the day lights out of me to think I can potentially have a girl since I have no idea how to care for one....maybe that's y I feel this is a girl. Who knows I just know I wanted to find out the gender like yesterday
