Crazycatcouple You're daughter is absolutely gorgeous too!
Aww, thanks Daisy! She is a little replica of her daddy, so I'm secretly hoping the next one will even slightly resemble me, lol. Not that it's a bad thing to look like her daddy of course! She does seem to have more of my personality though :-)
She definitely appears to look much more like him. So funny the way genes work! Most people say mine is my mini me only she is fair with blonde hair- the polar opposite of me. I too am hoping that maybe the next one has some olive skin!
Ok, this thread got very, very quiet. Lol. No new updates ladies?
It has gotten quiet!!
Lala my ds1 looks like my hubby's mini me only with my colors and ds2 looks just like me and ds3 looks like a 50/50 mix. It's crazy how different kids can look!!
I feel like I have an elephant sitting on my chest today and I've been super light headed. I might not have morning sickness but I sure have enough other crap to deal with. Haha.
It has been super quiet. My son is total copy of mt husband minus his eyes..which are exactly like mine
Other than that, a lot of family stress to deal with. My nausea comes and goes. I don't feel like eating ot drinking anything at all and that's when it gets bad. U ts the worst between 3 to 5 in the mornin. Yuck
Other than that, I'll have my first appt next Thursday, july 31st for 8 week checkup. Can't wait as I'll get to hear thw heartbeat and see the baby. ♥
Hi ladys, just went to my 13 weeks ultrasound this morning. Dr. said it looks like 80% boy nub. I'm over the moon now. This is my last baby, I have 4 DD already. Good luck to all everyone.
babyb5- congrats! This is excellent news!
Yay babyb5!!!
Woohoo baby5!
Thank you ladys. Today I'm totally prepared myself to hear girl again. This baby was so surprised that we dtd 5 days before Ovulations. I'm believed now that timing do not sway. Most of my girls was dtd on positive OPK.
Congrats Babyb5! That must be an amazing feeling to be getting your much wished for ds!

How awesome baby5!! So hope you get that final verification in a few weeks!!
I had my sono today!! All is well :) Baby measured 6+1, which is basically impossible. Lol. I am guessing they are a couple days short, which is normal at this stage. So, since I know when I ovulated, they aren't moving my EDD, so it's March 16th. Heartbeat was seen immediately and was measuring 121! Baby bean looked healthy and great! Ill admit, ill fail team green. I already want to know! Haha. But I don't care, I love it to pieces. Here is our pic:

Hey ladies. Our results came back today for the Panorama test. We are so lucky that every has come back low risk (less than 1 in 10000) and we are having a BOY! I'm a bit in disbelief, it hasn't quite sunk in yet! X

Huge congrats oncue!! You must be on cloud 9! I'm so happy for you :)
And yeah, I technically don't belong on this forum, I am due March 16th. I joined because I found out so early and there was not a March forum up. BUT, all of my babies have come in the late-36 to 37-week range, so the chances of having a February baby are pretty high.
Haha Daisy! Funny enough, we already have a child with a derivative of Patricia in thier name. I actually do love the name Patricia. But it would highly unlikely (actually, impossible) for baby to come on St. Patrick's day. Because of my blood issue, they would induce at 39 weeks if I made it that long, which would leave me around the 9th of March. But I'll be surprised to get to March!
So do people have names picked out? Or lists they are working on? We don't have a ton of ideas yet :-/ I still might try for a "modified" team green (haha). I might try to get a good nub shot at my NT (ill be 12+3) and go from there. Never confirm. We will see. But either way, we aren't really making headway on name lists.
Thanks future and Hotdogz! To be honest, I'm still a bit shocked. I think it's going to take some time to sink in! We are very happy and hopefully everything else goes well!
Hotdogz, We don't have any names picked out as yet. We usually get to a certain point where we have a short list and then wait til we meet bub to see if the name suits them and their little personality
Hey Ladies! I haven't been on here in forever as our house is STILL for sale and it's been super stressful! I have over 25 pages!! to catch up on here, so I apologize I can't read all of that, but I do see from the past couple pages that congrats to oncue and babyb5 for your blue bundles and Hotdogz, such a cute little bean!
I wanted to ask if anyone else is having problems with their blood pressure? At my 16 week appointment this week it was 130/100!! It's normally around 118/70 and the doctor asked me if I was stressed, and I told him all about the the house not selling and wanting to move before school starts so the kids can be settled. Anyway, they made me sit there 20 min to rest then took it again and it was only down 130/98 but he didn't seem concerned?? Only said to try to get some more rest and time away from the kids? How on earth can I get away from my 4 kids?? Anyway, it seems very high to me and wondering why he's not more concerned? At what point would the dr. get concerned about blood pressure- is it a certain # of weeks? Thanks, ladies and sorry again I haven't kept up better on here!
Super congrats oncue!!! Have fun shopping blue!!
Hello again,
My computer died and I needed to get a new one, so I haven't been around for a while. But I'm back now, and need to do some serious catch-up to see what's going on with you ladies!
Yahmama, I don't blame you for being concerned about your blood pressure. I might even call around to get a second opinion. Pre-eclampsia is always a possibility when it comes to high blood pressure during pregnancy, and that's not to be taken lightly. Is there a midwife or another OB you trust that you can call?
I just had my anatomy scan yesterday and ALL doubt can now be removed! Panorama, NT AND anatomy scans are in agreement that this is a girl. I wasn't terribly concerned after the superflat nub during the NT scan, but there was always this nagging doubt that I'd see an obvious willy during 20 week ultrasound. Nope! It's clearly a labia. Anyone who told me (IRL, not here of course) that the maternal blood tests aren't always right for gender and that I shouldn't get too excited about having a girl until the ultrasound can suck it! Yay!
I'm actually going to start my own side business knitting and crocheting (and possibly sewing/fabricating) photo props and custom hats and the like. It kind of fell into my lap, and now I know I have the ability to make some cash before my little girl gets here. So, I might not be on as much as I was in the beginning, but I'll definitely be on more than I was the last few weeks :)
Congrats to Oncue! My boys are amazing, and I know yours will be too. To anyone else whose gender announcement I missed, congrats :) I'll look through the past 20 or so pages of posts and see what's going on.
Yay, super happy for you, Lillith! No doubt now and you can have fun making things for your little girl!
I actually have an etsy shop making crochet hats and sewing carseat canopies and things like that. I put my shop on vacation hold when this whole house selling thing started, so hopefully I can get back to it when (if!) we ever sell this place and get settled! If you have any photographer friends, that is a great thing- that's how I started is I had a friend who needed some props and I started making them for her then others started asking for them. Definitely fun and a stress reliever and a way to make extra $! Hope it goes well for you!
Congrats Lilith of your confirmation :-)
And congrats Oncue and Babyb5 for your lovely blue beans, and what a cute pic Hotdogz! So much good stuff happening here lately :-)
Yahmama, I agree I would do some research and see what is out on the web and possibly get a second opinion. I've always heard high blood pressure during pregnancy can be pretty serious. Good luck!!
Yeah- I guess my Dr. is pretty convinced it's just the stress of selling my house? I did good high blood pressure and preeclampsia and it seems before 20 weeks, high blood pressure is usually not gestationally induced but either pre-existing or for other reasons- but I thought he would be more concerned about it, even if it wasn't due to pregnancy itself, IYKWIM. Maybe if it's still high after my next appt at 20 weeks he'll do something different. My dad has an at home blood pressure monitor, so I'm going to borrow that from him to keep track of it and if it stays high I'm going to call my dr. back. Just didn't know if anyone else here had experience with it being high before 20 weeks- I've had friends with it high in their last trimester but not this early :/
Oops, I posted a post to the wrong forum. Editing it out :-) Sorry!
Congrats oncue! We get a list together and than do the final pick once we meet baby too as I just can't pick out a name for someone I've never met!
I've always chosen names before they were born. ..I could just feel that that was their name and I felt super connected to them. This time since we are not finding out it will be weird. My Dh had picked one girl name he likes but it's all we have so far. Greta. That is his pick. Zero boy names. I feel we have used all the ones we liked so hopefully this is a girl. Haha
What are some of your kids' names? I love hearing what other people have chosen and why :-)
We picked out Lyra's name well before she arrived. I had fallen in love with the name a few years before we even got pregnant and had my mind set on it, lol. We still looked through all the baby name books and websites trying to see if anything else compared, but in the end, that was it. We also liked Stella and Delaney for girls, and were really glad she was a girl because we never really could decide on a boy name. For a boy, hubby is adamant that it be a masculine name, even better if it comes along with a one-syllable nick name. We know we want to use Bruce for the middle name because that was my grandfather's name, whom I was extremely close to, and also his dad's name, so we get to honor two important men with one name! As for a first name, I *think* I know what we'll end up choosing, but we're both still trying to get fully on board with it. It's a family name, which I love using if possible, but we're unsure if it's too strange. I think we might pick a second or even third name and then choose once we meet him (hopefully him, lol). We like unusual names since our last name is so common, however I don't want it to be weird, ya know? Maybe you ladies will have an opinion. The name is Tetlow, and it's my husband's grandfather's name and hubby's middle name as well. I've always sort of liked it because my middle name is my grandma's and is unique too, Winsome, and if my aunt hadn't just named her daughter that, I might have used it as well :-) I like that we both have middle names from our grandparents that are pretty fun and different, and I think it would be cool to honor them. But again, just not sure if Tetlow is cool or strange...
If we have another girl, my very favorite girl name right now is Waverly with a nickname of Waves :-)
I'm also big on names. This baby will be AnaSofia Belle (mn name may change but probably not), first name will definitely stick because we've been praying as a family for a daughter/sister by name for almost a year now that there's no way we'll change it. A boy will be Micah Roman.
Crazycat, I like Bruce and the meaning behind it i so cool!
About the name Tetlow, my honest first opinion was that the term "tit" came to mind which could be tricky? I also like uncommon names but that was my first thought. May I suggest Lawton? It has the same feel but is different. I'm not trying to step on toes or anything just sharing honestly :)
Never heard the name Tetlow before. It's a little out there but I am sure it would grow on me. Tet would be a good nickname.
My first born is sam..I just like the name and always have. My 2nd is Declan...we call him dex. Love his name. I just heard it on a show once and loved it. Totally fits him. Ds3 is Theodore and we call him Teddy. Love his name and it's also my grandfather's name. They have such an incredible bond which is crazy...little teddy is just drawn to and smitten with my grandpa. He will sit on his lap cuddling for hours and doesn't do that with anyone else. My grandpa has Alzheimer's so it's extra special to us that they have such a bond.
