My kids don't like fbb thank goodness.

Yeah that second image I posted I'm not sure what that blob is. The one I originally posted is the shot he gave me when we were looking at the nub. What I don't get is that it really doesn't have much angle but he said boy and the tech was still saying girl. I just don't see what he saw. He kept saying look its up but in relation to the spine it wasn't up.

I can't stand the modern kid's shows... they're irritating. Obviously, I only have access (on TV, anyway) to British ones over here, anyway, too. I figured if he was going to watch something on TV, I wanted it to be something I equally enjoyed and could interact with him with.... same with my husband. So we actually cancelled our TV and rely on DVDs. He gets a steady mix of American and British children's programs from the 60s onwards. Classic Sesame Street, Chorlton & The Wheelies (British show), etc. He loves Pee Wee's Playhouse, The Muppet's Show, Gumby, Bagpuss (UK show), Wallace & Gromit (UK show), The Electric Company, Charlie Brown, etcetera. My mom has joked he'll think he's in the 70s and I was like, "Nuh uh! He watches Yo Gabba Gabba, too!" Ha.

Mummy pink- that's funny that you say that. I don't really believe in the heart rate theory - but it has crossed my mind this time at something to hold on to. Both of my boys were steadily at 165-170 bpm. This little one had been between 145 and 158 bpm.

My niece was always between 130 and 140 bpm and my nephews were always on the faster side, like my boys. The doctor was 99% sure I was a boy because my heart rate was in the 140s (they didn't do ultrasounds then). So everyone was very surprised when I popped out a girl-and I didn't have a name for almost a week!

So maybe this is my girl since the heart rate theory seems to be opposite in my family ...... Any little glimmer of hope I will take until I am told for certain :)

The heart rates for all three of mine have been pretty similar, in the 150s to start with but this one is still at between 150-153 and at this time with the boys they had dropped into the 140s.

As you say I know it is a myth but so hard not to cling to any possibility that this could be a girl!

7 days left of being able to daydream about pink.

It has been a horrible rainy weekend and my boys are driving me mental with their boredom and bad behaviour. Feel like I have been telling them off none stop as they are constantly fighting and I just have no patience at the moment. Feel like such a bad mummy. :sad:

My kids heart rates have been 140s.except for my dd last time and this time have been much faster. My tech at the u/s even mentioned that when they were disagreeing about the sex and the dr was like" you know Hb is not conclusive. " ugh

Just realized there's no way I can go shopping for my cousins shower. I'm making dh do it and I don't wanna go :(. I feel like its so much more of a smack in the face bc she made such a big deal.

Hugs spinning, I'm really surprised she made such a big thing of it knowing that you lost a baby. I don't blame you for not wanting to go shopping for something for her.

Fingers crossed in a few weeks you will be hearing pink at your u/s and that will help ease the heartache you are feeling. xx

Spinning, could you just get her a gift card? I don't think I could go buy her girl clothes in your situation. I just couldn't.

I always have crazy dreams while I'm pregnant, but with this one I have a similar dream every night: I'm running around town looking for a toilet, and they're all either occupied or out of order for some bizarre reason (for instance, the ceiling of the bathroom is built 5 inches above the seat, so you can't fit on it). I'm praying that I don't wet the bed during one of these dreams!

lol shell thats funny.
I keep having dreams where I am so thirsty and nothing fixes how dry my mouth is. I think it's bc I'm dehydrated

When I'm really stressed and feel like I am responsible for too many obligations, I have dreams that I have this grainy chewing gum filling my mouth and I just can't get rid of it. And when I feel like my life is out of control, I have dreams about tornados and vampires. Lol.

I'm not sure I've ever had a dry mouth dream though. Maybe you ARE dehydrated. :)

lol Shell!
I've been having weird dreams but not the same one.

I had a really sad one last week where I was standing in a doorway waving goodbye to my brother who was going to the cinema. As he was walking away I realised my Dad was with him, he looked really sad and I wanted to go after him as I realised it had been ages since I saw him and chatted to him and I felt bad as though I just hadn't bothered to get in touch. I couldn't find my shoes anywhere and when I looked up they had gone. I woke up thinking 'oh I must call my Dad' but then quickly remembered he died 3 years ago. :sad:
I think the dream came about because I've been thinking how sad it is that I can't tell my Dad I'm pregnant this time or share any of it with him.

Sorry for the depressing post!!

How is everyone getting on morning sickness wise? Is everyone over the worst now? Any good cravings?

I'm still mega keen on white bread which I don't normally have, thankfully I have managed to find a bakery not far away that makes a loaf similar to Tiger bread. Plus Wensleydale cheese which my mum had to bring out with her when she last visited as we can't buy it! I'm actually not as bothered about chocolate as normal which is strange for me, and generally I don't have much of an appetite still.
