My DH had gorgeous sea-green eyes, and I have blue. Our first two got the blue eyes, but the 3rd got DH's eyes--so gorgeous! Hers have a little more yellow in them than DH's. I hope #4 gets the green eyes too!Quote:

I wanted a boy so bad last time and didn't get one, so I am assuming the same is true this time. :(Quote:

This will probably happen to me, looking like a boy nub but no doubt will come out a girl!Quote:

TTC5 i think that is a nice way to do it and i thought of doing the same but i think if i got home and read it was a girl i would want to go straight back to double and triple check! And if i read boy i would want to look to ensure she got it right. I also thought about letting DH look and him tell me later but what if he doesnt know what he is looking at??!!
I think i will go for private gender scan when i can and suck it up and have a look between the legs but i will not be telling friends and family i think i will tell them we are having a suprise, so when i hear boy the silly comments wont come until after birth, dont want to ruin my last pregnancy with listening to silly comments.
Going to ask for some potty shots too so we can look when we get home :)
I had a little bit of a *nightmare* last night, lol. I had a dream that on my ultrasound it showed a boy, and I felt so sad and so crushed (exactly what I said I wouldn't feel) that then in my dream the sonographer said "wait, no I was wrong, I see labia"...LOL Who thinks the word "labia" in their sleep????????
And then I got so excited that it was a baby girl and then my dream bounced to seeing her in this light pink very long ruffly gown (I dont really like lite pink much as a color so...) and she was sleeping so peacefully in her bassiet and then they told me "she's not ready yet! She has to go back in your belly to grow some more" and I said something like, "OK that's fine, at least now I'll know without a doubt she's really all girl."
I guess despite all my good intentions, my heart is really, really set on this baby being a girl.
SIGH.
I really do not want to be heart broken in a few weeks time.
Yesterday was a bad day... DH may have torn his bicep, has to get it confirmed in a few hours. We were thinking ok he is hurt and needs a sling for awhile. But the Dr started talking about how he will need surgery Saturday or Monday, no movement for 6wks, therpy to get movement back, and maybe in 3-4mths he will be healed. All this sucks. I hope the test today show that it is not torn because we have so much to do before the baby comes.
DS1 starts t-ball practice this Saturday so instead of us all going as a family only I will be going. DH will stay home with DS2 who is very calm when alone. DH had taken time off for a nice long Easter weekend trip but it looks like I will be the one driving the 4hrs, hope I can stay awake.
I have a Dr visit tomorrow so I hope I hear good news! I did have a dream last night about a little girl who looked like DS1 with the big blue eyes and wavy hair.
five baies, i have not got morning sickness at all in my previous pregnancy aswell. So i am not expecting for this one aswell.Quote:

I think it's almost impossible to avoid, auroara. We've all invested so much into this - following stressful diets, sticking stuff up our hoo-has, experiencing the heartbreak of BFN after BFN or m/c, or both....Quote:

TTC5, I like your plan. WHen will you do that, at your 20wk scan or earlier?
Auroara, some people say that the gender you dream about it what you are having. I haven't had any gender dreams yet this time... I really hope you get your baby girl.
Mocha, just a week left-- are you getting excited?
wantingson, I was sick with all 4 of my pregnancies. I was sickest with #2 (a boy) and #3 (a girl) so I wouldn't put too much stock in the old wives tales. In fact, part of the reason I thought #3 was a boy was because I was just as sick as I was with my son.
PP, how did your DH tear his bicep? Sounds awful!
Try terrified! :nails:Quote:

It's helping keep my mind off it for at least a few seconds every hour :bigsmile:. I've tried to let myself fantasize about how it would feel to have them tell me it's a girl, and I can't do it - it seems like such an impossible prospect for me that I can't even imagine it!
Awe, good luck Mocha! Can't wait to hear!
Oh, and I've been very VERY tempted to call another u/s place that's a little closer to see if they'd see me this weekend. When I was in contact with them before, they were willing to see me at 16W5D (we decided to go with the other place, though, because it's right on the way to my Mom's place), so now of course I've started to wonder whether they'd see me at 16W1D instead, which would be Sunday.... Do you think I'm better to wait? I imagine a scan at 16W5D would be more accurate, right?
Actually, I just looked at their website, and they're not open on Sundays, which would mean I'd have to go Saturday, when I'm exactly 16 weeks. What do you think? Too early? Should I just stick with what I have since I've waited this long already?
I think quite a few of the ladies on here went at 16 weeks (Z, happyheart I think went at 15ish weeks? chocolate) and they were told gender and the gender stayed the same! I think ultrasound machines these days are pretty darn good.
I'd say go,but I'm prolly a bad influence, I'm living viarcriously thru you having an early gender scan since I can't do early hehe
Oh, you ladies are BAD! Now of course I'm even more tempted. By coincidence, a good friend I hardly ever see lives in the same city as this u/s place - down the street, in fact, so we could visit her at the same time to make the trip worth it (the whole family would likely come since I don't want to have to drive home afterwards in case I'm devastated - the kids won't come into the scan, though, or even know the actual purpose of the trip).
I guess it wouldn't hurt to call them to see what they say. They already thought I was crazy asking for a scan before 18 weeks, they'll probably think I'm completely bonkers wanting one at 16 weeks!
Mocha the place i will go do gender scans from 16 weeks onwards, but when i was pg with DS3 i was going away and asked of they would do it in the 15th week and they agreed too and they told me he was a boy and got a good potty shot also.
Just me being impatient i would go for it :D I will be booked in for mine as soon as i can...lol!
Well...I called and had no luck. She told me they don't do scans until AFTER the 20 week scan. What's the point of that?? I know that's not true because when I emailed them they said they'd be willing to do one at 16W5D, but I didn't want to get into an argument. I think this is fate telling me to wait until next week to find out.
Must have been the night for nightmares!!Quote:

Yeah, I think I can survive another week - it'll give me a last chance to hope for a girl before I see a big old penis staring at me on the screen :sigh:
I bet there will be no penis. I am sending you tons of pink dust--all I have!!Quote:

Think of it this way, an extra week gives it just that more time to grow and be closer to accurate ;)Quote:

I know it sounds stupid but I cant help being scared even as my dr and i were talking about it she said look we better stop talking about labour because she did my bp 4 times and it kept going higher and higher! Anyway she said to me did you know that you do have options.. I said no like what? And she said to me if I was induced again I could choose to have an epidural as soon as I am induced or if i go naturally I can request one as early as I want and i cant be knocked back?? I remember when i was in labour i asked for one and they kept saying no to me I really think they coould of lied to me and said yes we are organising it just to give me some hope!! Anyway has anyone ever had an epidural and what was your experience? Maybe I should just toughen up but I just dont know how..
Pinkin - write a clear birth plan and if you want an epi state is clearly!! xxxxx
I don't know why I came on here since I'm not even preggers yet! But sunce I did... Pinkin I had an epidural with my 1st because I was induced and I don't think they did the induction very well plus baby was backwards and it wasn't very natural! Overlapping contractions etc! Anyway I ended up getting an epidural and felt nothing after! Of course it ended in a c section but if you're scared, an epidural will numb everything!
I did however try a natural with my 2nd and holy smokes what a difference from being induced!!! It was a natural progression of contractions and although still labour I could handle it because it progressed naturally without them messing with my contractions! In other words go in how you want but know to just go with what comes! It should be all about you and the baby and what you want!
With my d/s I had no birth plan, I was induced ( they broke my water and put me on a drip) It was the worst! I am going to make sure I get a birth plan and tell them what I want .. TTC5 have you ever had one?
